Accessibility PDF in Tamil - The Worst Nightmare

Hi there,
Here are tech details:
MAC OS X 10.9.3, InDesign CC, MS Word file provided in Tamil using Arial Unicode.
I imported the text into InDesign (since I received a template in English for that document). I formatted document using the template styles. Exported as PDF from InDesign. Went to Adobe Acrobat and ran Tools - Accessibility - Full Check. It returned 6 errors divided as follows: Document - 4 and Page content - 2.
Document: Logical reading orders - left as is; Primary Language - I added TAM for Tamil - Passed; Title - Fixed - Passed; Color Contrast - left as is.
Page content: Tab order - fixed -Passed; Character Encoding - Failed (20 Words). In the screenshot you will see the character that returns that error.
As you can see it's repeating all over the document.
According to Help file of Adobe it looks like a font issue. Since Arial Unicode is installed on MAC I looked further for other fonts. That way I understand that it is wide used InaiMathi.ttf
I changed entire document font to Inai Mathi. I created the PDF, I checked it for full accessibility. There was no error regarding Character Encoding - Passed. Yet, the client returned the document to me saying that there was an error regarding the font.
Now I am stuck. As I read on various Forums, including on this one, the only thing left for me to do is to change the font. To what? At a point I found 120 fonts for Tamil. I tried 12 of them. Most of them are returning same 20 Character Coding error and I even found one that returned 40 Character coding errors.
As a indirect question to my issue, is there a chance to select what font to be used when adding ALT TEXT to Images in InDesign?
Any valuable input will be appreciated. I do have a Windows partition on my MAC in case that the only solution is to format the document under Windows.
Thank you for your time and help.
Sincerely yours,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
I have no experience with Mac, InDesign, or the Tamil language, but I won't let that stop me from taking a stab in the dark! Regarding the PDF that passed for you but failed for the client - was the font embedded? I am not really sure if that would make a difference but it is something I would check. You can embed fonts in Acrobat Pro using Preflight - at least on a PC - unless the font forbids embedding. I would think if the font is embedded it should behave the same on any machine, but again, not completely sure.

"Adobe Acrobat is blocked" - Where to I accept the end user agreement which will enable me to access Pdf documents on the web?

I keep getting this message when trying to open documents from the web:
"Adobe Acrobat is blocked" -
Where to I accept the end user agreement which will enable me to access Pdf documents on the web?
The Adobe website recommends this: (did not solve the problem)
Safari 7 and 6.1 block PDFs | Acrobat, Reader
Thanks for any help solving this annoying problem!
OSX 10.9.3
Safari 7.0.4
Acrobat Pro 11.0.0

Hello Isakten:
Thanks so much for your reply!
I already have Adobe Reader 11.0.7 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed.
Following your instructions, I then selected Reader as the desired Adobe product to open all PDFs. and save that choice. Still no difference, the same black screen and statement about the EULA shows up…
http://www.nhgastro.net/patients.html
BTW, this is the website that I was accessing……note the link to download and print the pdf which triggers the EULA page.
and also downloaded the latest version of Reader via their link….but to no success…..
This all started by itself months ago, I did no newer installs or settings changes, none……
Any other thoughts?
Thanks so much,
Steve

What iOS apps access PDF files in the cloud?

I know Goodreader sees the cloud. What other iOS apps can see PDF files in the apple cloud?

The cloud is not really a single thing remember. Cloud computing and cloud storage are just generic terms for distributed computing and/or storage on a network accessable service. There are many "cloud" storage options:
iCloud
Dropbox
Box.net
SugarSync
4Shared
Google Drive
Skydrive
...and the list goes on growing every day
Many apps, like Goodreader, will work with some, many or all of these, ONCE you configure your account settings in the app itself. So you can create an account with whichever service or services you wish to use, and then start using that account to move your files to and from any and all apps that allow a connection to that service.
I use box.net primarily to store my pdf files, and I then connect to them from GoodReader, PDF Expert or iAnnotate, not to mention QuickOffice, or Goodnotes, or Documents by Readdle or whatever app I choose to read/edit/markup the pdf in.
You will need to download the pdf into each and every app you wish to use it in on the iPad, as with a few exceptions, apps cannot share content. That's why you use the cloud (meaning nothing more than, online) storage as your master location for your documents.

How can I access PDF-Reports outside the appliance?

If I know the URL
https://1.2.3.4/monitor/reports/system_statusto the HTML-Information, is it possible to get the same informations as a PDF "directly" without pressing the "Printable PDF"-Link to the commandjavascript:PrintReport()
Or do you know another way to schedule such PDF-reports and mail it to my account?

You can have scheduled reports that will send you the report in pdf.
The http access you are talking about is the xml reports, these are very restricted in what you can see.
However we do have a Reporting API that your local SE should be able to provide which means you can customise reports and get the information in .csv format.

Installing iWeb 2.0.2 is the worst nightmare ever

When I first instal iWeb 2.0.1, all was wrong but one day started working, this was until the patch of iWeb 2.0.2 when again everything was wrong again, I do like a lot iWeb and I have a lot on my .mac account I even have 20GB of hard disk in my subscription, but this is the tip of the iceberg for me, probably the lasts weeks I have the .mac account, I have been waiting for a fix like most of iWeb users that are on this forum, and what I see is mac really not listening to the clients of iWeb, this is probably the worst Update mac has ever had, we users of mac knew that mac always test the software on the users, but when the users have a business based on their web pages like me and probably a lot of other users, then Apple is affecting third party and not the regular users.
I really don't know what to think right now of this update, but is definitely not working for a lot of users that we are desperate that Apple hear us.
I know probably Apple is having the finishing touches of Jaguar (nice) but we the ones that are affected with iWeb 2.0.2 are having way bigger problems and there is no one in Apple who really is looking at the problem.
My sites are this ones:
www.cinematograf.com
www.soloenmexico.net
I wish I can continue working with Apple but if this problem persists I will be forced to leave .mac and never come back because of this bad taste on this issue, I will probably use Dreamweaver and rent a hosting plan with better things than .mac.
As you all can see I am really mad and ****** about this issue and I am shure I am not the only one.
Do you think like me?
Adolfo

Jon,
When 08 came out, I Correct al my pages, I re did all of them, so that is not the problem, I even had to almost kill my whole site in order to it work perfect, that was when I had 2.0.1 then Apple send us the update for 2.0.2 and it was then when It stopped working at all.
With 2.0.1 there was problems and we all fix them as .mac told us, but with this update 2.0.2 there is nothing to fix there is probably not solution, so a lot of us are desperate, and we just wish to go back to the settings on 2.0.1 they worked fine (at least the last 2 weeks of version 2.01).
Then as you see my site: www.cinematograf.com is huge and www.soloenmexico.net (lives from the comments) (the last one has already 90 publications that makes it a 3 month old site (yes I made it with '08, in full) I can't think of loosing all the comments as that gives the site self promotion, the problem is that I had been already since "9/13/07" that I can't publish a thing it did work for a day on "9/24/07" as you can see on the site, but that was the last day it worked since then we can't publish a thing, the problem of that particularly site is that it was growing a hype and one day off we loose public opinions and one week off we loose fans, so is not really cool of mac to keep us off like this
Thanks for reading

Accessing PDF files outside the web application

Hi,
I have deployed a web application Tomcat / webapps/ Moto.
The Tomcat / webapps / Moto / resource.jsp file has links
to a pdf file located outside the Moto web app.
The pdf file is in Tomcat / webapps / doc / BAServerConfig.pdf.
Now, I'm unable to access this pdf from the resource.jsp page.
Is there any way i can do this?
I'm not supposed to move this pdf file to any location.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance,
Phani

I havent tested, but if it doesn't work, it should give you the idea:
<%@ page contentType="application/pdf;charset=TIS-620" %><% response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename="+request.getParameter("id").substring(request.getParameter("id").lastIndexOf("/")+1));
try{
    FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(request.getParameter("id"));
    ByteArrayOutputStream baos=new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    byte buffer[]=new byte[1024];
    int length;
    while((length=fis.read(buffer))>=0) baos.write(buffer, 0, length);
    baos.writeTo(response.getOutputStream());
catch(Exception e){
    throw new ServletException(e);
%>Be aware to not to broke ... %><%..... with spaces or return characters.
And if this work, you can convert it to a servlet and enter corresponding entries in web.xml file.
Hope this help,
OO

How to access pdf documents in the cloud from an iOS device?

Once a PDF document is saved in icloud, how do I access it from the iPad or the iPhone? Which app is required?

I use GoodReader, something like $10 in the app store for the iPad, which has iCloud capability for file source/saving. Outstanding PDF reader that also handles MOV files as well.

Problem reading PDF files after the latest Adobe update.

Althouigh I think I've followed the Adobe instructions, I continue to get the following error message and can no longer access PDF docs since the most recent Adobe update:
“Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser”.
And when I try to re-install the reader, my system tells me I already have the latest version of the reader installed...

Uninstall Adobe reader and use Preview instead. Works much better and won't screw up your computer.

I am using Adobe Reader with paid up service through May 2015. When I attempt to convert a file either to PDF or from PDF, I get the error message, "An error occurred while trying to access the service". What do I need to do to get access to the service I have paid for?

Hi DeaconTomColorado,
Please see "Error occurred when trying to access this service" when logging on to Acrobat.com.
Adobe has just released an update to Adobe Reader, so if you're accessing the service via Reader, please let us know whether the update helps resolve the issue.

Sorry we do not support this. What you can do though is add a Formatted Text element and add a link to a PDF. To insert a link add some text, select the text and right click on the text (or look under the Insert menu in the top right of the scene)

Hello, if your install disk is locked (I assume with FileVault) there is no way to change the password. If it weren't locked there were at least two solutions. As far as I know, the only solutions now are:
- contact your dad
- erase and reinstall the OS X clean

The spinning beach ball has become my worst nightmare!

the spinning beach ball has become my worst nightmare! I had my mac at the genius bar it worked great when I left now every time I hit enter I get the spinning wheel. Cold it be my internet connection

I have a bunch of .pmd files that I have to have access to.. I am trying to convert to .pdf. what is the easiest way to do this with updated computers?

Then you can’t do anything with those files. Even opening them in InDesign would yield very unpredictable results.
You’d need to find an old machine running nothing later than Windows XP and then buy a copy of PM which is like lighting money on fire.
That said, someone might come along willing to help out but just exactly how many is a bunch?

Lightroom 3 - The worst program Adobe has ever put out...

If anyone cares to read this, I will be the first to say DO NOT UPGRADE!!
I am spreading the word - facebook, word of mouth, every professional photographer in LA I know, blogs, etc.
You gotta raise hell to get changes.
Lets see if Adobe will do anything about these issues...
I thought that Adobe created "beta" for a reason - to smooth out all the kinks before they put the disk out. Nope.
I have been waiting for them to put out updates on many issues since I purchased the disk a month ago.... Still waiting Adobe!!!
It is excruciating to watch my photos take literally 4-5 minutes to open. Even worse, is the time it takes to save from Photoshop CS5 back to Lightroom - I timed 14min. FOR A PHOTO!
I feel like the old days when I rendered video - went out to get a coffee, and came back to find the spinning of wheel of death still spinning.
Oh, and I got to talk to India today too! for 3.5 hours - with no resolution to my problems.
Susheel accessed my computer remotely - saw my catalog - sees 73,000 images, and asks "are you a photographer?" REALLY?! DId you REALLY just ask me that Susheel??
Why I HATE Lightroom 3 - let me count the ways:
1. Adobe closed their tech support in Portland (whom I have spoken to many times, and ALWAYS got my problems resolved. They always went above & beyond the protocol - and we sit here and wonder why the US economy is crashing), now you get a no-name person in India or in the philippines (who have no extension, no email, not even a direct line so when you sit on a call for 3.5 hours and need to call back you are starting all over again.. Dear Adobe - do we live in 1980?? You are suppose to be a LEADER in technology.
I am morally against outsourcing, my artwork is all about the death of american industrial capitalism. In a time when the US is in crisis, Adobe works on moving things out of the US. I'm outraged - You can't get someone in the US EVEN IF YOU TRIED! The best I could do was talk to someone in sales about this - wow. What does that say - American's "look good and sound good to sell our product, but when it comes to something advanced in technology like using the product and trouble shooting, we prefer to use someone with no extension in another country"
2. They don't offer support for anyone who is running off a network (they expect professionals to be working off their local "c" drive or Mac internal hard drive. HA!!
3. They continued to blame my network - even though my network is running smoothly, has no limitations on access, will open directly into photoshop just fine (and quick!), worked absolutely perfectly in Lightroom 2.... Yeah, it's the network, riiight.
4. Lightroom 3 is corrupting files when opening into Photoshop CS5 - if I'm lucky enough to open them
5. When I do get a photograph open, it loses it's filters once saved back into Lightroom (I rate my photos to help me navigate through the masses) - this really is hurting my workflow. When I shoot 800 images in the studio in one day - I DO NOT want to go back and fish around to find the edited version that lost its flag...
6. I have been promised to get a phone call "sometime next week" since there is no extension I can call back on to move forward. I'll keep you updated - let you know if Susheel keeps his word. He couldn't tell me who was going to call me, or when, but he "assures" me it will happen.
I wont hold my breath

Yep, everything is always someone else's fault. It's never because they've made a stupid decision to buy before making absolutely sure that the software will work for them.
Seems like nobody is prepared to take responsibility for their own actions these days.
So, by that logic Adobe does not have to take ANY responsibility for pushing this kludge out the door? Given they had a RC ready almost INSTANTLY after release should be sufficient to show they KNEW they were pushing garbage out the door. Adobe is indeed responsible for their offering a know buggy product, bugs which CROSS PLATFORMS so it has to be the core code design not the user hardware or anything a given user has done. Sure some systems might have setups which help make these issues more apparent, but that is on Adobe to deal with as they should publish limitations and known configurations which can potentially induce greater problems...but these entail an admission and accepting responsibility for the original buggy release...btw, release notes used to be where one would find quirks info and how to work around them post system requirements being carved in stone and set to entice the lowest common denomonator user.
One more thing...LR is marketed not as a PRO TOOL, it is sold as a tool for the average to hobby level photographer. That is also has huge appeal to the pro market is a happy accidentally-on-purpose thing...but to berate people who don't feel it's their job to troubleshoot a commercial app is completely unreasonable...but anymore the US consumer is the largest beta tester group on the planet...I wonder how our EU counterparts are fairing as ironically, they have stronger consumer protection laws...try pushing a crap product out in the German market...heh-heh, yeah good luck with that.
Actually I would say this is not the worst software Adobe has ever pushed out the door but perhaps the worst photography software they ever sent as RTM. Many, many PDF related apps and utils have actually been worse and we won't get into what they have done to Flash and Dreamweaver after that acquisition. The closest analog I can see if that of what happened to Norton products post Norton being purchased by Symmantec.
However, I am willing to give Adobe time to address this because they did have the RC ready almost right away. Should they have done this? No way, but perhaps the marketing wonks put the company in the position where it had to meet the release date even if issues were discovered and fixes in the pipeline already and it was gonna be a 3-9 week delay before the issues were mostly fixed. But they did and well, even those who ran the beta, ran the 30-day trial did not find the issues because they simply did not use that part of the program enough for the bugs to manifest their effects to the degree when you the user, realize something odd is happening.
I too am pissed, beyond belief as I depend on LR for my business, I can, however work around it for a while but I don't make money as a photographer I use photography for my business so the issues, while causing huge levels of frustration, are not fatal....yet...all I know is I don't want to revert to LR2.7 because I have done so much work onLR3/ LR3.2RC already and the tools themselves are indeed superior in LR3.x....when they work and that is the rub. So many here are telling those with these bugs affecting their income/workflow bought into this to save time and leverage the bestter NR/sharpening and I say much improved adjustment tools. I don't use the lense profiles at all really so nothing special for me there.
I would ask a question...I am sure this has been asked and answered but, eh, why not one more time because search is sooooo "haaaard"
but does this issue affect all file types? I am shooting DNG but can switch to PEF if needed and convert on import but would rather just shoot DNG. I am not willing to switch to JPG because if I have to do this I give up too much control on my images, for that I would switch back to LR2.7.
Also, what versions of Camera RAW were used in the beta and what versions are being used with LR3. I know I did upgrade to ACR6.2(?) or whatever the most current version. I understand there are a ton of factors at play in these bugs but I do doubt it's ACR as my old antique PS CS3 version of Photoshop does not have any problems, of course it's using the old version of ACR 4.6(?) again sorry I forget what version exactly but it's trivial and can be determined.
I like LR because I don't need the advanced features of PS all that often, still PS is a fun tool to have as a backup for the complicated shots though I don't have time to really spend in it as I would like to...
But in general I guess I am trying to say, Adobe had to know in advance of the RTM original LR3 because they had the RC ready almost instantly. Of course past releases of LR also had the same experience just the bugs were, well, not as impactful I suppose. I have been happy with LR since 1.x versions but this version is painful to support...and I as I previously posted I won't screw with Adobe's refund people, likely off-shored staff who get bonuses for talking customers OUT of getting a refund, I will simply file a chargeback with Mastercard...that is why I use it, so I don't have to let companies waste my time wading through their red-tape. And btw, Adobe knows the customer will WIN any chargeback because this evidence of a known to be defective product was sold to the consumer and the customer even allowed the mfg to remediate the issue only they failed to deliver in a timely fashion. So, if one is not happy just "go to the mattresses"...use the chargeback hammer. The bonus is every chargeback granted to the consumer costs the retailer, Adobe in my case, $35 when they lose...

IBooks 3 is the WORST!

I carry several PDFs on my iPad and iPhone for work.
Everytime Apple releases a new iBooks update it changes the total count of the iBooks library on either the iPhone or iPad by increasing it by 1.
Then, when you try to drag your library books to iBooks, the numbers start having significant differences between the master library in iTunes and the library on the iPad/iPhone.
So, then I have to delete the entire iPad/iPhone library and copy from the master library again.
Once that has been done, I have to watch the spinning circle in the top right hand corner of iBooks until it indexes everything. This process takes up to 2-hours on an iPad 2, 1-hour on an iPhone 4s.
Then what, oh yes, wait for the next iBooks update.
Apple, I have tried very hard to like iBooks, but GoodReader just gets it. You can copy anything you want and access it in microseconds.
Because of this I now buy my ebooks from Amazon.
Apple engineers are the laziest people on earth. They probably just sit there testing iBooks with like 3 files thinking that they are true geniuses.
Has anyone else suffered the iBooks upgrade library discrepency?
Please do not suggest Auto Sync. I just love how Apple says, "If you dare turn off this feature, we are going to delete everything from your iPad".

When will the apple team finally fix ibooks? It is the worst its ever been and desperately needs an overhaul! It was bad enough when ibooks was linked to itunes, but at least it worked, and you could store your entire library on an external drive.
Upgraded to Yosemite only to find that all my books in itunes disappeared (would have appreciated a warning on that, apple) and that I had to restart everything from scratch. Plus ibooks keeps crashing constantly!
When is the next release? When will apple give ibooks the attention it deserves?
Only Apple know the answer to that. Sorry, but no one here can help you as to a date. You can try asking Apple at the Contact Us link at the bottom of this page, but as they have never given any exact date away in their history of releases, then I would say just be patient. I never use iBooks, so I can't help you with the rest.
