Adobe Reader error with PDF reports created using AS Reports Server 10g

Hi,
Recently when trying to run reports in our system (which uses Oracle Application Server Forms & Reports Services 10g - 10.1.2.0.2), sometimes when we try to run a report in PDF format the following happens:
1. A new window appears as expected
2. This window hangs/appears to try to load for a couple of minutes
3. Eventually an Adobe Reader error message appears saying the following:
*"There is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again".*
I have noticed that this problem only seems to occur when the client has Adobe Reader 9.3 installed (8.2 works fine).
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a known workaround or is this a known issue?
Many thanks,
Chris

Does anyone have any ideas on this or has anyone encountered the same problem?
thanks

Adobe reader error opening pdf

hi there,
i'm getting the following error message when opening pdf documents stored on the hard-drive of my laptop, using Adobe Reader XI on Windows 8 operating system:
Adobe Reader could not open "xyz.pdf" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)
The documents weren't received as email attachments.
I've tried reinstalling Adobe Reader XI, and i've tried installing Adobe Reader X, and in both cases the problem has persisted. I am able to open certain pdf documents, but the majority return this message. I've tried Foxit and Google reader, but both fail to open these pdf documents. I've tried a pdf-fixer program, and it reports that it fails to fix the pdf documents.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
thanks, Fergus

hi Test Screen Name, i appreciate you taking the time to help!
i've checked several documents that i understood were PDF by opening them in Notepad, and they are starting with a variety of characters in addition to the example i gave above - some examples:
1st - ;^" ¼# Ú ³ÄaªÉ@—·
2nd - —¤DÙ3îRò8ëñæ¿ ÕOÝ
3rd - wOsrL (and 2 further documents that started with these characters)
4th - 佋첩耺컜⺩垌荦ŵ嵎
i was able to read the documents when i originally downloaded them or exported them, but i didn't access them again at that time, and i have not tried to access these documents in more than 2 months. During that time i had a problem (possibly a virus) on the computer - i resolved it be reloading windows.
any suggestions would be great!

Adobe Reader error with SAP interactive form in Web dynpro ABAP

Hi,
We are having a strange intermittent problem with Adobe Reader. When we try to open PDF files from SAP Frontend we get an error pop-up. The pop-up does not have any text. The title of the pop-up has "Adobe Reader". There is a blue question mark and an OK button. The form is inserted into Web Dynpro ABAP page. This web dynpro application is executed in SAP GUI by this program:

Adobe Reader version is 9.1.2
Is there any solution for this?
Many thanks for answer.

Jiri,
The reason why I thought downgrading would help is because Reader 9 and above is probably not fully supported by SAP yet.
You can maybe open an OSS and see if Adobe 9 is fully supported or not.

Why can't I get downloads e.g. Adobe reader 10 with FF Beta4.8 using XP home sp3 and NIS11 when the file downloads and then auto-deletes before I can use it?

The downloads folder does not save files when they are downloaded.
problem particularlly with binary files e.g. adobe reader 10
NIS has been deactivated and problem persists.
Initially downloads are canceled. When retry option is selected file downloads in window but sub directory shows file while downloading and then it is deleted

Login error with correct u/p using Oracle Application Server / BPEL

Hello,
We are using Oracle 11g and BPEL 10.1.3.4. We had everything working fine until earlier this week. We were receiving an exception when accessing the database from our BPEL process.
Unable to establish connection to "iCareConnectionPool". Error message: Exception occurred testing connection. Exception: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied.
I went into the Application Server control and tested the data source and connection pool and they both failed with the login error. The userid and password being submitted is correct. I checked the data-source.xml file and the id/password looked good. Here are the steps I performed.
On BPEL server:
1)     Deleted connection pool iCareConnectionPool, data source, iCareDataSource, and removed /eis/db/iCareDataSource from the DBAdapter.
2)     Created new connection pool – iCareConnectionPool using jdbc:oracle:oci:@//<host>:1521/ORCL with userid IDS
3)     The connection pool test was successful. Clicked finish to create connection pool
4)     From the JDBC resources screen, I tested the connection pool and it failed with invalid logon error.
5)     Modified connection pool to use IDS2 and it worked.
6)     Modified connection pool to IDS and it failed.
7)     Modified connection pool to jimc and it worked.
On Database:
1)     Created new schema/user ICAREIDS
2)     Connected using SQL Developer and I could connect
On BPEL Server:
1)     Deleted connection pool
2)     Created connection pool iCareConnectionPool using jdbc:oracle:oci:@//<host>:1521/ORCL with userid IDS
3)     The connection pool test was successful. Clicked finish to create connection pool
4)     From the JDBC resources screen, I tested the connection pool and it failed with invalid logon error.
5)     Modified connection pool to use IDS2 and it worked.
6)     Created new connection pool TestPool – same results
7)     Tried jdbc:oracle:thin:@//<host>:1521/ORCL - same results
On my local system BPEL server:
1)     Created connection pool iCareConnectionPool using jdbc:oracle:oci:@//<host>:1521/ORCL with userid IDS
2)     The connection pool test was successful. Clicked finish to create connection pool
3)     From the JDBC resources screen, I tested the connection pool and it failed with invalid logon error.
4)     Modified connection pool to use IDS2 and it worked.
5)     Modified connection pool to use ICAREIDS and it failed.
Since it failed on two different BPEL server's, I am wondering if it is something with the database. I can connect using existing schema's but not IDS or any new schemas. However, I can connect to any schema using any other tool like SQL Developer.
Can anyone provide an insight as to what could be happening here.
Thanks,
Jim

I found the problem and wanted to pass on the solution in case any one else runs into this problem.
With Oracle Database 11g the passwords are now case sensitive. Because the BPEL server is using 10g drivers the login fails if you have capital letters in your password.

If you just mean, can I close it, sure. In Reader XI click the Tools button to close or reopen it.

Adobe reader problem on viewing PDF file created by crystal report

I have a VB6 application to export the PDF file by using crystal report 9. However, when I viewed the PDF file under Adobe reader 8, I have a following message when I hit the page down key.
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly.
Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."
After hit okay, this message will be gone and I can see the PDF file without problem. However, I don't have this issue when using Adobe reader 5 or 6 version.
If I crystal report 11 version to export the PDF, everything works fine also but our production machine can only use crystal report version 9, not 11.
Anyone have idea?? Thx!

Sounds as if there is a bug in the older version of Crystal reports.
If you are prevented from installing fixes for bugs, you may well be
stuck with the effect of the bug.

"Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser" error in Windows 7 and Acrobat pro 8.1.7

I get the error "Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again" in Windows 7 x32 and Windows 7 x64 with Acrobat pro 8.1.7. This happens when trying to open a PDF file in Internet explorer 8.0.760 or when I open a PDF in Quickbooks 2008. If I answer ok or cancel the file opens normally. If I open acrobat 8 first then the pdf files open as expected. I also tried a copy of Acrobat reader with no difference in the outcome. Since this happens on two different computers one fresh copy of windows 7 x64 the other an upgrade to windows 7 x32 and they used to work before the change to windows 7, I assume there is some kind of incompatibility with windows 7 and acrobat. Is this a known issue and will it be fixed in an update to acrobat in the near future?

tvandersluijs - I'm sorry if that screwed up your machine however:
1. What version of Adobe Reader are you using because as you can see the registry entry is for Adobe Reader 9, if ur using Adobe Reader 8 then u need to specify ur version as PAllens entry suggested - "E.g. "C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat [version]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""
2. I've used this solution significantly because I have come across this specific issue for multiple users.
3. All the registry entry does is tell Windows what program to use by default to open/view PDF documents.
My intention wasn't to screw up ur machine or anybody elses as I said I've used this solution many times however what I've should gave is the disclaimer to backup ur registry before u make mods so u can revert back in case. Also the ony other thing I can think of is that this solution was for Windows XP using registry editior 5, I'm noticing that the title of this thread is Windows 7.

We are trying to implement a process so that any document that needs to be printed through our Java application will be printed as PDF using Adobe Reader.

Current Situation: The above command line parameter when executed is working as expected in a User's Workspace. When executed in a command line on the Application Server is working as expected. But, the same is not working while executing it from Deployed environment.Software being used: 1. Adobe 11.0 enterprise version. 2. Webshpere Application Server 8.5.5.2. Please let us know if there is a way to enable trace logs in Adobe Reader to further diagnose this issue.

Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in web browser error

I have a new computer and have Acrobat Pro installed. When I try to click on PDF links in browsers, I get an error:
Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in web browser.
I want to be able to open these links using Acrobat Pro. What can I do in Internet Explorer so I don't always receive these errors, and so pdfs automatically open using Acrobat Pro?
Steve

Because it was not designed for Windows 7 doesn't mean it cant run.
If you install the applications as administrator, you shouldn't have problems. I have installed both Reader and Pro versions on Windows 7 32 and 64 bit without problems, as long as I did it as administrator. You right click on the setup and select Run as Administrator. You don't need to do it for updates if you go through the update option on the help panel.

PDF file created from Oracle Report is created wrongly using dbms_lob

Hi,
Please help. It is very urgent.
I am using Oracle Developer 10gR2, Oracle Report 10.1.2 on Windows 2000.
I would like to attach the PDF file created by Oracle Report to the Notification sent from Workflow.
I use the following package procedure in my Workflow.
procedure Create_File_Attachment (document_id   in varchar2, display_type in varchar2,
                                                                                     document      in out blob, document_type in out varchar2)
is
     l_itemtype          varchar2(100);
     l_itemkey           varchar2(100);
     l_output_directory varchar2(30);
     l_filename          varchar2(255);
     src_loc             bfile;
     bdoc                blob;
     src_offset          number := 1;
     dst_offset          number := 1;
     amount              number;

     dbms_lob.fileopen(src_loc, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
     dbms_lob.loadblobfromfile(bdoc,src_loc,dbms_lob.lobmaxsize,src_offset,dst_offset);
     dbms_lob.fileclose(src_loc);
     amount := dbms_lob.getLength(bdoc);
     dbms_lob.copy(document,bdoc,amount,1,1);
     document_type := 'application/pdf; name=attach.pdf';
end Create_File_Attachment;Oracle Report created the PDF file correctly (original.pdf).
I tried to attach the PDF into my Workflow.
I can see the file is attached (attach.pdf), but it cannot be opened.
The Adobe shows : 'A drawing error occured.' each time I open the attachment.
I compare the original.pdf and the attach.pdf
However, there is one specific difference
- in original.pdf, the line started with '.' (single period)
in attach.pdf, the line is started with '..' (two periods)
Thus the attachment cannot be opened.
After I delete the period, it can be opened.
Question:
- Has someone ever succeed in attaching the PDF created from Report?
- Are the codes above is wrong?
- Or perhaps the DBMS_LOB.LOADBLOBFROMFILE always double the single period on front of the line?
- Is there any solution on this?
Note:
I have succeed in attaching PDF files unless the PDF created by the Report.
Sorry for the long post.
Please help. It is very urgent.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?

Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

Safari keeps trying to use Adobe Reader to view PDFs

I had to download adobe reader because my banks electronic statements can only be read by it. Even tho it is not my default reader Safari always tried to use it to read a pdf. I can't find any way to tell Safari to use Preview again without uninstalling Adobe Reader.
Thanks

I had the same problem with bank and some government (FAA) sites.
Without Adobe Reader installed, they either would not download or would download a blank pdf page.
With Aobe Reader installed, you can download to view in Safari, but cannot save on your Mac as a .pdf.
[When Adobe Reader is default .pdf reader it hijacks the Export PDF option, including using printer driver to print to file as .pdf]
Deleting AdobePDFVewer.plugin from /Library/Internet will work, but there are a couple of easier fixes than deleting and reinstalling the plugins:
You can switch the default viewer back and forth (including Safari's default viewer) by:
Right click on a .pdf file and from the context menu select Get Info > Open With: (select Adobe Reader or Preview) > Change All and close the popup to set selected app as default.
If you have to use Adobe Reader to view a .pdf on the picky site and decide to save it - don't try to use Adobe Reader to do so (via Safari).
Instead either:
1. Option click on the site's link to the .pdf to download to your default download folder.
- or-
2. Right click on the site's link to the .pdf and select either "download linked file..." or "Save linked file as.." and save to desired folder.
I am not sure if this will work in all cases, but so far it has worked OK for those I normally use.

Hi, my read aloud feature with PDF stopped working. It reports: no US English voice available on this system. How can I restore it to read aloud again? Thx, Rick

I am having the exact same problem... My Text-to-speech just errors out when I select a new voice and then that voice disappears from the choices of voices. I can not get it to speak anything since the Leopard upgrade. Some suggestions would be great as to what might cause this to fail. Thanks
