Problems opening .pdf files created in Windows in MAC

My clients that are using Macs are having problems opening password protected PDFs that I created in Windows. Any suggestions?

Are your clients using Adobe Reader on Mac, or the built-in Mac OS Preview?  Preview does NOT support the full PDF standard :(.

  • Strange that I can save a pdf file created in windows 8.1 to my cloud storage

    Strange that I can save a pdf file created in windows 8.1 to my cloud storage, but then I don't see it when I open my account. What is strange is that when I try again to save the file, system ask me to change the file name or over write current file. But file not present in my drive. Any help would be much appreciated

  • Why can't I open PDF files created in Adobe X using Adobe XI? How do I fix this?

    Why can't I open PDF files created using Adobe X in Adobe XI?

    I try and open them in Reader (double left click on the file) and all I get is a single screen with two overlapping frames neither of which have anything to do with the subject although the presentation title is at the top.  One of the frames had "Adobemail.com" on it. Our work computers were recently up-graded to Adobe XI and this was the first time I tried to open a presentation that has worked fine in the past.  I would have thought that Adobe XI would have been backward  compatible, but it doesn't seem so. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have an 08:00 First-Aid class tomorrow and need this presentation.  Apparently Adobe forums are off-line for up-grades.  Thanks

  • Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader

    Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader.
    I installed the latest adobe reader for my Mac. Everything is set up. Every time i go to open a pdf file, this shows up...
    "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch adobe reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
    I installed it through the adobe reader website for free. And even though it says 'by clicking "install now" you are agreeing to accept the user licence agreement terms and conditions' it still says i need to accept the T&C's.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and same thing over and over again.
    Can someone help!?!?!
    Please contact me via email direct ASAP at....

    Did you actually try doing what the message suggests?  Open Adobe Reader and accept the EULA?

  • Problems opening pdf-files from KM of portal

    Hi,
    we store documents in our portal in KM. When I use pdf-files that where not saved with Office2007 tools I get the problem, that I can open the file once. If I open it the second time I get the error message "file doesn't start with "%PDF-". and the file will not be opend. If I delete the temporary files in the internet explorer, the file can be opended, again.
    If I open the file directly in the internet explorer I don't have those problems, so it seems, that the portal uses a different viewer than the internet explorer itself. 
    Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
    Regards
    Ulrike

    Ulrike,
    I think this is a known issue.
    Affected versions:
    o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 14
    o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 15
    If you have the above KMC and SP Versions then you need to follow the below SAP note:
    Note 1146711 - Problem opening PDF files.
    Have you checked the belowSAP Note?
    Note 954627 - Issues with opening/displaying PDF files from KM

  • Link to open pdf file in new window

    I want to create a link on a web page to open a pdf file in a
    new window. I used the "on click" "open brower window". Which does
    open the pdf file, but not in a new window. How do I open it in a
    new window?

    Your code is a mess:
    ** there is no apparent reason for the span:
    <td><span class="style1"
    onfocus="MM_openBrWindow('pdf/PR_launch.pdf','','')">Milford, OH
    So change that line to:
    <td>Milford, OH
    ** here you have two double quotes before This.
    <a title="”This" class="pdfFile"
    onclick="MM_openBrWindow('pdf/PR_Launch.pdf','','')"
    Change it to this, (with some other improvements):
    <a title="This" class="pdfFile"
    onclick="MM_openBrWindow(this.href,'','');return false"
    ** This is code salad:
    href="”PR_Launch.pdf”" link="" will="" open="" a=""
    .pdf=""
    file.”="">More (PR_Launch.pdf,
    230kb)</a></span></td>
    Change it to:
    href="pdf/PR_Launch.pdf">More (PR_Launch.pdf,
    230kb)</a></td>

  • Please help to open PDF file in new window

    Hi!
    I have a My.pdf file, and file Other.pdf located in subfolder Myfolder.
    For example, my.pdf located on c:\Mydocs\My.pdf and Other.pdf located in c:\mydoc\Myfolder\Other.pdf
    I try make plugin that open Other.pdf in subfolder Myfolder, no matter in where My.pdf is located on computer.
    I found in SDK API, that I need create a new window for open pdf file, using WinAPI function - CreateWindow:
    HWND externHWnd = CreateWindow ("ExternalWindow", "PDFViewer",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,50, 50, 500, 500, 0, 0, gHINSTANCE, NULL);
    I copy example into Visual Studio, but in example there no gHINSTANCE is undeclared.
    or plese provide working code for my task
    Please help

    In which part of the SDK did you look.
    Do you really mean a plugin (control Acobat from inside - can only be written using C#)
    oder do you mean control/work with Acrobat from an external application (like vb,..) via activeX (=IAC).

  • Problems opening PDF files from Websites

    I just had the contents of my (dying) ibook transferred onto my emac. The tech created a new user/desktop on the emac. Now, when I try to open PDF files from a website, I get a window saying this:
    "Downloading - users/myname/desktop/xxxxx.pdf could not be saved because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to a different location."
    Points to note: 1) The "xxxxx.pdf" part of the above message changes each time I try to open a pdf document, even the same one, and it does not show the real name of the document (e.g. CollegeApplication.pdf)
    2) this never happened on my laptop;
    3) the settings are set in Firefox to download pdf's to my desktop;
    4) I have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat, which I already tried opening before downloading.
    Any ideas? Thank you!

    Will the new account save to a different location?
    Is the "myname" that appears in the error message that of the new account or of the old one?
    Following up on Frank's tip about file permissions, is it possible that the GID of the new user account conflicts with the existing? The existing admin user was likely GID = 501 on both Macs, and depending on how the laptop's data was transferred, the internal ownership of the transferred files still points to 502 rather than say 502.
    have you tried the old standby of running Disk Utility's Repair Permissions on the hard drive?

  • Open pdf file in separate window?

    I'm not seeing option to open a link to pdf file in separate window. Is it possible? On this page I would like visitors to be able to open the pdf while continuing to listen to the audio file that's associated with it (audio clips towards bottom of page)
    http://www.imaginerecoveryonline.com/IMAGINERECOVERYONLINE.COM/THE_JOURNEY_1.htm l
    Thanks

    Okay, so where are you publishing your site to - MobileMe or an external server such as GoDaddy?
    If to GoDaddy, then to upload directly to the server, as I explained in my previous post, then you would need to use Cyberduck and upload your pdf file to your public_html file or whichever file you need to upload to - it could also be 'www', or 'htdocs'.  Upload your pdf file here and then go back to iWeb and create the link to your pdf file by linking to it directly on the server - don't hyperlink to a file, but to your external server, which will be http://www.domain.com/name of your pdf file.pdf.  This is all you need do and then select open in a new page and your link to your document has been created.
    If publishing to MobileMe, then you need to upload the pdf file directly to your iDisk.  You would then make the link to the url http://web.me.com/username/sitename/name of pdf file.pdf and select to open in a new page.
    That is what is meant by uploading to a server and you then have to create the link directly to where your file has been uploaded to and not the file itself.  You need to enter the external url which will be your domain name or your MobileMe url, plus the username and site name.

  • Why does my Acrobat IX not open PDF files created with my Adobe CreatePDF application?

    My Acrobat IX will not open PDF files that I create with my Adobe CreatePDF application

    Thanks for answering ... Long answer sorry ... recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7.  With XP I could create PDFs with/for any document I created ... I think the XP App was Acrobate Complete as well as I could print directly to a PDF file. In any case, I was always able to creat PDFs.  Since upgrading to Windows 7, I lost my ability to create PDF files by conversion or by printing directly to PDF format. Therefore, I purchased the Adobe CreatePDF application from Adobe for about $100.  However all Adobe CreatePDF files have a different screen icon and my Acrobate XI supplied with my new Windows 7 intsall does nor recognize the Adobe CreatePDF created files. I am guessing but I suspect the Adobe CreatePDF app is creating Postscript print files and not Windows compatible print files.  I would like to tell Adobe about this Bug or failure, but it seems I am unable to contact Adobe directly and talk/chat with a human.
