10.1 Update - WinXP - PDF in IE shows blank (grey) page

Hello everyone,
after we rolled out the update to 10.1 some of our users, as well as some of our customers experience problems viewing PDF Files within Internet Explorer.
As you click a PDF, the Browser just shows a dark grey page, rest is blank.
I tried a few things:
- If you press F5 while viewing the blank page, the PDF suddenly shows up.
- Repairing / Reinstalling fixes the problem, but only until you reboot.
- Changing some settings, like protected mode also fixes the problem... still it only lasts until the reboot.
From what I can tell, I only see Windows XP Users affected, and only Internet Explorer users. Mostly are Version 6 and 7 (which we need on a handful of PCs due to compatibility issues, but only use it for internal applications). I also heard from some IE8 users that the problem occures (most probably when compatibility mode is on I guess).
Firefox and our Windows 7 Users with IE8 and 9 seem not affected.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I wish I had an answer for you but I am having the exact same issue. We use a web based app for our expense reporting and viewing the reciepts does the exact same thing. The first reciept actually opens just fine but if you want to go and view another one it just pops up a grey screen. if you close concur and go back in then it will open it. Like you said it works if you his f5 to refresh or with the grey screen still open you can hit the Reciepts button again and it opens.
If you figure out what it is please re-post!
Thanks!

I have newer pdf files that show the 1st page of the document as the icon instead of just the logo.

Is there a way to save the other pdf files so they also show the 1st page of the document?

Compress it as a zip file and add the zip file to the mail as an enclosure.
In the Finder control (right) click on the pdf file to bring up the Finder's contextual menu and select Compress. A .zip file will be created in the same directory as the pdf file. Then add that zip to your mail message. The receiver will of course have to expand the zip on his or here end. But zip is fairly general and woks on both macs and windows.

Toolkit for CreateJS showing blank HTML pages after publish on only some Flash projects?

When I used Toolkit for CreateJS on Flash CC for the first time on a simple test movie, it worked fine. I've now created a new movie of a scrolling portfolio banner to go on my homepage. After hitting publish, it only shows a blank HTML page, with a white box the size of the stage.
I even tried it again when removing the buttons and tweens and still no joy. Is there a way I can upload both files to show you and to see if there's a difference in which why the newer one isn't working. Both have more than one layer. The test one moves out of the screen, while the new one fades out. I've even tried putting an alpha effect on the test to see if it doesn't play, but it still works fine.
Please help.
Thanks

Do you see any errors listed in the output panel?

Mac pdf - windows XI shows blank doc

We have a strange problem.
Based in SIngapore, back in 2011, we created a 300page file in InDesign exported as Pdf, which opened perfectly in Acrobat Pro 9.
We then optimised the Pdf in Acrobat Pro 9 and saved.
We sent the file to a client in Europe.
The client now tells me that when they try to open the file in Acrobat Reader XI it is 300 blank pages.... I think that this might be the 1st time they tried to read it using XI.
The client's assistant was able to open the Pdf on her personal Apple Mac
Is there some cross-platform incompatibility

After my Modzilla update print jobs only have a blank gray page when looked at in preview and blank when printed

I accepted a update from Modzilla yesterday. After which I had no print abilities. In the preview area it is just blank and when printed the pages are just blank. I had to go back to Internet Explorer to print my work-- it printed fine so it isn't the printer.

Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

Embedded graphics show as blank grey rectangles

OS is Windows 8.1 x64. Since upgrading to Reader 11.0.10, PDFs opened in Reader that have graphics embedded in the pages just show blank grey rectangles where the graphics should be. There's nothing wrong with the PDFs, as when I open them with Mupdf or TeXworks they display as they should, with the graphics visible. Any suggestions on a possible cause or fix?
Screen dumps of one such file when opened with Reader (Dropbox - reader.png) and TeXworks (Dropbox - texworks.png).

Thanks, that fixed the problem. However, I've never touched this setting before, so either the update to 11.0.10 changed this setting from checked to unchecked, or the size of image at which it takes effect changed with the update, as quite a number of the PDFs that had this problem with 11.0.10 displayed embedded images without any problem with previous versions of Reader XI

Safari - viewing PDFs opens up blank grey windows

Can't find other info on this problem - when viewing PDFs in Safari, a blank, grey window is opened every time a new PDF is viewed. The grey windows can't be opened (by clicking on them or by switching tabs), but they show up in mission control view, which makes it really hard to find the actual windows I'm looking for! This is happening in Mavericks, but has been happening since Mountain Lion (or maybe even Snow Leopard). Help?
After clicking through multiple pages of a pdf, my mission control looks like this:
So annoying!

I had the same probelm.
1) You need to go onto your application list in finder, right click safari and choose "show package contents".
2) Double click contents folder
3) Open the folder named "recources"
4) in the search bar in finder (can be accesed by holding doen command and "f", type "plug in" and the select the option that should appear called "type: Plug in"
5) this should show you all the installed plug ins for safari.
6) to solve your issue, you should delete any plugin that says adobe or pdf. You may have to delete more than one.
7) fully close and restart safari and test.
Let me know how you get on, this should work for you.

Some pdf's that show up in my ibooks on my mac do not show up when I try to sync through itunes. Can't figure out why.

The transfer from my itunes book library to ibooks app on my mac (mavericks) went fine. The problems started when I tried syncing. The first time, everything went fine. Pdf's and ebooks showed up on my devices. I then added more pdf's to ibooks on my mac and when I tried to sync them with my devices, some show up and some don't. I thought it might have something to do with file size but again, some large pdf files did show up in tunes and some didn't.
Overall, not all things are mirroring like they are supposed to between the ibooks app on my mac and itunes, resulting in not being able to get all the content I want on to my devices via syncing.
For example, I will delete something out of ibooks but it stays in itunes when I go to sync. I'll delete it from all the devices and the computer and it will still be in itunes and will reload onto my ipad when I sync my entire library. To repeat, I deleted a book out of ibooks but it still shows up in itunes when I go to sync. Other books that I delete from ibooks do disapear from itunes and are no longer availalble for syncing, as it should be.
There was a pdf I changed to an epub in Calibre. I converted it in case the large size of the pdf was a problem. As an epub, it was a smaller file (8.6 mb vs 100 mb). I deleted the pdf from all devices and the ibooks app. I reloaded it into ibooks as an ebook. It showed up fine. I was able to open it with no problems. Went to sync it with itunes and it didn't show up nor appear on my ipad after syncing the entire library.
So, ibooks on computer is working fine. The content is there (or not there when I delete it) in what ever format I want it. I can open and read everything just fine. The problem is trying to get that same content onto my devices via itunes. Why does some content transfet just fine and some doesn't? Why does some content delete fine while other content can't be deleted from itunes? Why do some pdf's load fine in itunes and some won't?
My computer and my devices all have current updates.
Help!

I had the same issue. After searching around online I found out that you can try downloading another app (it can be any app) onto your ipod. After it finishes downloading see if your other apps open. You don't even have to keep the new app. Just see if your other ones work and you can delete the new one. That should work. If not, try to hard reset it. Here is another apple support link for steps on hard reseting it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430).

How Do I Dynamically Update a PDF Textbox Using Excel Like Columns Which Automatically Wrap and Size

I am trying to dynamically display a list rooftop units to which are associated to each product our company produces.
Our website is database driven and each product has a link to a PDF file which explains the product, and a "List" of each rooftop unit which this product can be used upon. This "List" of units is changing and are updated constantly. We are currently manually updating each PDF. We have thousands and it has become unmanageable. In some cases this "List" may contain only be several units, in others the "List" will contain hundreds. Additionally, the rooftop units when described are anywhere from 6 to 50 characters long. Therefore, we can't just dedicate a set window to populate the information. The list must flow into the window in columns and be smart enough to best consolidate and wrap itself, so not to use countless pages. We prefer the first page to describe the product and the second page to contain all the associated units in columns with an auto font capability.
We have Acrobat X Pro version 10. We are considering LiveCycle. Everything and everyone says yes it can do this; however, no one can tell us specifically how or show us examples.
I have figured out how to create the "List" in a comma separated string, but it is very confusing and hard to read. Does anyone know how to list the data in a table... in flowing columns similar to an Excel spreadsheet?

I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly. In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location.
But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line. No one is looking at the page. A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice. It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word.
I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want. I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have.
I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way.
Give it a try and best of luck.

Print Preview: SAP GUI showing updated text, CRM UI not showing updated text

Hello,
can anyone please help me with "Print Preview" button in CRM UI:
In the CRM UI when a certain data is changed on the document, a note on the document is updated with changes in data. When pressing the "Print Preview" button the generated PDF is not showing an updated text. If i run the SmartForm directly in SAP GUI after the data change, the generated PDF shows an updated text. If i reload the CRM UI (close the browser and run the CRM_UI transaction) the "Print Preview" shows an updated text.
What should i do, that the Print Preview in the CRM UI would also show an updated text (without reloading the CRM UI) ?
Im thinking it could be a problem with the parameters SFPDOCPARAMS and SFPOUTPUTPARAMS, that are used when calling the SmartForm FM. The parameters are set as this:
   ls_outputparams-nodialog = 'X'.
   ls_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
   ls_outputparams-connection = 'ADS'.
   CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
     CHANGING
       ie_outputparams = ls_outputparams
     EXCEPTIONS
       cancel          = 1
       usage_error     = 2
       system_error    = 3
       internal_error = 4
       OTHERS          = 5.
   ls_docparams-country = 'SI'.
   ls_docparams-langu = sy-langu.
   CALL FUNCTION lv_name
     EXPORTING
       /1bcdwb/docparams = ls_docparams
       I_HEADER_GUID      = ls_orderadm_h_wrk-guid
     IMPORTING
       /1bcdwb/formoutput = ls_formoutput
     EXCEPTIONS
       usage_error        = 1
       system_error       = 2
       internal_error     = 3
       OTHERS             = 4.
SAP gurus, please help

I figured the solution:
In the Code Initialization of my interface (SFP transaction) i had to initialize the buffer:
   CALL FUNCTION 'INIT_LOAD_TEXT_BUFFER'
     EXPORTING
       EXCL_ID       = ls_stxh-tdid
       EXCL_LANGUAGE = ls_stxh-tdspras
       EXCL_NAME     = ls_stxh-tdname
       EXCL_OBJECT   = ls_stxh-tdobject
     EXCEPTIONS
       NOT_FOUND     = 1
       OTHERS        = 2.
This way the text is loaded from the updated note every time a "Print Preview" button is pressed.

Converting MS Publisher to Adobe PDF, Images Not Showing

Hi, I have Professional Plus, version 11. I am trying to convert a newsletter created in MS Publisher to an Adobe PDF, but when I do this, the images do not show up. They may show on some pages but not others. I have already contacted MS support, but they say the issue is with Adobe. I have tried updating to the latest version but am still not having any luck. Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a fix for it?

Contemporary releases of Acrobat do not provide a PDFMaker for MS Publisher.
If Acrobat is installed you can "file - print" using the installed Adobe PDF virtual printer which will provide a PDF.
However, this PDF will have no "interactivity". Using the virtual printer is like printing to paper only the "imprint" lands on a PDF page rather than a paper page.
The other way to get a PDF is to us the Microsoft process built into contemporary releases of MS Publisher.
Of course this being a Microsoft process any questions or issues associated with its use must be taken up with Microsoft eh.
That images do not pass through to PDF is almost *always* due to a configuration issue back in the MS application (Word, Publisher, etc.)
Regardless, poke about in the user configuration settings for Publisher and in Acrobat (Edit - Preferences).
Be well...

PC fails to reboot and shows blank screen after automatic windows updates including SP

Pavilion- a1130n" WINXP ProfessionalC fails to reboot and shows blank screen after automatic install ing windows updates including SP 3

I would love to say that a refresh worked for me however it did not.It takes about 30 Minutes total I was able to trace part of the issue to a Registry Key that was tagging the processor. Because my BIOS manages its own temp gauge and windows is trying to
build on in I had to turn the BIOS one off as well as for some reason I get better funtionality with Visualization off.
I am still dealing with a lag but I was able to get ride of the freeze that made the computer completely useless.
