Adobe Reader X fast web view problem

Hi,
When I try to open a PDF with several pages from the web using Adobe Reader X, fast web view function seems not working while I could only view it after download of the whole file completed. Checked and confirmed that "Allow fast web view" selected in the Reader, as well as the PDF file being tested support such function. Here's my OS and software environment:
- Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with SP1
- Internet Explorer v8.0.7601.17514
- Adobe Reader X v10.0.1
I tried several scenario as below:
- Disable "Display PDF in browser", no improvement
- Uninstall Reader X and install Reader 9, test on the same PDF and fast web view working properly
- Uninstall Reader 9 and install Reader X again, same problem happen again
- Install Reader X on a freshly installed Windows XP with SP3, same problem appears
Does anyone experience the same issue? Or any ideas \ solutions? Many thanks.
Regards,
Maguyver F.

Adobe Reader clashing with web browser, problem. Help

Hello,
I've been using Foxit Reader before using Adobe Reader. Now when i'm trying to view pdf files in firefox there is this error showing "The Adobe Reader cannot be used to view pdf files in a web browser". I've tried reinstalling adobe reader but this problem persists. Below is a screenshot of the problem. This might be a bug in the program as i have done the needful and set adobe as the deafult pdf file manager or the web browser might be clashing with this version of adobe reader. I'm not sure why this is happening and would like someone to educate me on this.
Please let me know of any solution to this problem. I'm on Windows XP.
Thanks,
Ritwick

"Allow fast web view" Option in Adobe Reader

Hi Experts,
Is there any chance "Allow fast web view" option in Adobe Reader can be controlled through Documaker settings? Documaker version is 11.1.
(Adobe Reader, go to Edit --> Preference ---> Internet ---> check/uncheck the option "Allow fast web view". )
In our case, Documaker generated PDFs are being downloaded by users using browser (IE 7/8/9). "Allow fast web view" option is causing issues in some IE versions. As of now we are manually un-checking the Adobe Reader option in every signle machine as and when issue occurs.

Sruthi

Thank you for the reply..
I have tried the option in 11.1, 11.3 & 12.1 versions. As specified in printer reference, SortBatches option is not included in INI. Still no luck. PDF is by default taking the property from Adobe reader (version XI in my case). Any other INI changes will be required?

PDF fast web view option don't work like the specification Acrobat Reader suggest...

I have an optimized/linear PDF file for support fast web viewing option.
My issue is about the plugin comportment. In the Adobe specification, when the plugin receive a large optimized PDF file, he suppose to be began to read and show the PDF file after the first page received from the web server.
In my case it's not worked properly. The plugin show me the PDF file after the download finish.
When I check the Acrobat Reader 8.1 internet settings, all fast web view options are checked properly.
If I look the PDF file properties the fast web view value is yes.
I don't know what is wrong in my setup.
Some help will be appreciate.
Thank's.

If the file is public, I suggest you post the URL for others to try
out.

Problems with fast web view and really large PDF files.

If "allow speculative downloads in background" is set then the Fast Web view becomes nonfunctional. Reader is makeing the HTTP Byte range requests but will ask for almost the entire PDF file in one range (180 MB of the 182 MB file).
If "allow speculative downloads in background" is not set then Fast Web view is working fine, Reader is making more HTTP Byte range requests but the larges ones are still small 20K or so.
Is this behavior being experianced by anyone else?
What are the disadvantages, if any, of having "allow speculative downloads in background" turned off?
My environment:
182 MB pdf file (Optimized) around 41,000 pages. I have also seen this with 42 MB and 25 MB pdf files.
IE 6
Reader 9.2
Apache webservers (On Solaris Apache 1.3.20 and Linux Apache 2.0)
Thanks in advance

Hi,
The signing tool use Capicom (Library from .NET) to generate attached digital signature. I also tried signing with .net class SignedCms but the result is the same. What I don't understand is why some PDFs are working and others are not.
For example, I uploaded here a signed PDF which can be opened up succesfully: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/104591126/PDFs/Signed_Dummy1.pdf (it is the same PDF but I didn't enable the fast web view)
Can you suggest other signing method?
Thank you.

Acrobat 9.3.4 (or 9.3.3.177): Save As with Optimize for Fast Web View

When I do a Save As with Optimize For Fast Web View checked, the saving stops and an Adobe Acrobat dialog displays:
The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (111).
If I uncheck Optimize For Fast Web View, the Save As seems to work.
Is there a way to have Fast Web View work with Save As?
Acrobat.exe is version 9.3.4 (or 9.3.3.177 in the properties). The Acrobat.DLL version is 9.3.4.218.

Thanks. I did submit a report at the site. I hope somebody reads it as this is a big problem for us.
Thanks again.

Acrobat Pro 10 Actions Not Applying Fast Web View

Acrobat Pro 10 actions are pretty useful overall, however they are not applying Fast Web View all the time. In my opinion, all PDFs generated today should be Fast Web View by default, but among the many applications which allow for PDF creation, not all apply Fast Web View for some reason.
I did see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3335827for a potential band-aid fix. Unfortunately, it did not work for me.
Here is the text from my Action sequence file:
<</Commands [/c << /0 [/c << /Config [/c <<   /UIPolicy [/i 3]
>>]
/HandlerName [/a /FlattenOCGs]
/Params [/c <<>>]
/Title [/t ()]

/1 [/c << /Config [/c <<   /UIPolicy [/i 3]

/HandlerName [/a /ReduceFileSize]
/Params [/c <<   /RFSCompatibility [/i 6]

/Title [/t (Reduce File Size)]

/2 [/c << /Config [/c <<   /UIPolicy [/i 3]

/HandlerName [/a /ExamineDocCmd]
/Params [/c <<   /RmAnnots [/b false]
   /RmAttachments [/b false]
   /RmBookmarks [/b false]
   /RmDeletedContent [/b true]
   /RmFormFields [/b true]
   /RmHiddenLayers [/b true]
   /RmHiddenText [/b false]
   /RmLinksActionsJS [/b false]
   /RmMetadata [/b false]
   /RmOverlappingObjects [/b false]
   /RmSearchIndex [/b false]
>>]
/Title [/t (Remove Hidden Information)]

/Input [/c << /FileVariation [/i 3]

/FileVariation [/i 2]
/HandleOutput [/b true]
/NumbericNaming [/b false]
/OptimizePDF [/b true]
/PresetName [/t (test2)]
/RunPDFOptimizer [/b true]
>>]
>>
As you can see, the "/OptimizePDF [/b true]" is set per the instructions in the aforementioned link. It still does not set Fast Web View all the time. I ran a test of the action on a batch of 10 PDFs, some were set to Fast Web View and some were not. While one of the PDFs that was not set to Fast Web View was open in Acrobat, I ran the same Action again and it did apply Fast Web View! I even installed the latest patch hoping that would fix it, but unfortunately it did not. Distiller does in fact set Fast Web View, but it won't work on PDFs. The only way I can find to guarantee the establishment of Fast Web View is to manually do a Save As on every file which I think is asking a bit much when you deal with hundreds of PDFs on any given day. Also that would effectively defeat the purpose of running an Action on hundreds of PDFs in the first place.
Any ideas?

There is a bug because of which fast web view is always disabled. While that is fixed, here the workaround. Save the action and open the .sequ file in Notepad. Change:
                /OptimizePDF [/b false]
to
                /OptimizePDF [/b true]

"Fast Web View" not supported in Acrobat X plug-in for FireFox/Chrome

The Acrobat X plug-in for displaying PDFs in FireFox/Chrome does NOT support fast web view. This means that PDFs don't display until after the entire file has been download.
For example, try viewing this document in either IE(Windows) or Safari(Mac):
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/pdf/PDFReference.pdf
Notice how it opens very quickly, and then you can scroll around and view all the content as the PDF content strreams in? In Safari you can see the download progress like you used to be able to see in all versions of the acrobat plug-in. Note also that in the IE version, although fast web view is working, you cannot see the download progress like you used to be able to... Thats an issue, but not nearly as bad as the real issue...
Now try clicking the same link in either FireFox or Chrome (note that in Chrome you need to be sure that Chrome's PDF viewer is turned off and the acrobat plug-in is enabled). Note that the PDF is not displayed until the entire file is downloaded.
This feature is VITAL for viewing large documents online. I'm astonished that this has not been reported by other users.
Adobe -- PLEASE be sure that this gets fixed in the next update to Reader X!! I was shocked to see that it was not fixed in 10.1.

WHY would you want to disable this? Linearized "Fast Web View" enabled PDF are the right and proper type of document to be created.

Unable to enable "Fast Web View" in an existing PDF/A file.

I have a pre-existing PDF/A file that I'd like to optimize for web publishing (i.e. enable "Fast Web View"). I have done this kind of conversion in the past using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0 and X but whenever I attempt to do so for this particular file via Tools and/or by making the changes in Preferences and executing a "Save As" the Fast Web View is still set to "No". We have attempted to make this change using Ghostscript but that too has proven unsuccessful. The file is 2.6 GB and I have attached a screenshot of the properties of said PDF/A for reference. Has anyone encountered this before and found a way to modify the file? Thanks.

Tricky one. It might not be possible, since modifying to PDF/A might turn off optimization, while optimizing might turn off PDF/A... I think people have largely lost interest in fast web view since broadband is mostly so, well, broad.

How to set Fast Web View for PDF generated in NWDS ?
nikhiL

Hi Nikhil,
From fast Web View do you mean that your PDF is taking time in opening? If this is the case, then generally it depends on the amount of data you are displaying on the form, if your form has large number of drop downs with huge data then it will take time in displaying the form.
Other problem may be the version of the form, Adobe 8.0.1 takes more time in opening, SAP Note 1104060 can help you if you are on version 8.
Hope this helps,
Amit

Enable Fast Web View using ODC

Hi Friends,
Please guide me how to enable "Fast Web View" Property to PDF which generated using Oracle Document Capture.
Fast Web View:
Fast Web View restructures a PDF document for page-at-a-time downloading (byte-serving) from web servers. With Fast Web View, the web server sends only the requested page, rather than the entire PDF. This is especially important with large documents that can take a long time to download from a server.
Verify that an existing PDF is enabled for Fast Web View:
Do one of the following:
■Open the PDF in Acrobat, and choose File > Properties. Look in the lower right area of the Description panel of the dialog box for the Fast Web View setting (Yes or No).
■(Windows only) In Windows Explorer, right-click the PDF file icon and choose Properties. Click the PDF tab and look near the bottom of the panel for the Fast Web View setting (Yes or No).
Thanks,
Selva

Turn off "Optimizing for fast web viewing"?

I downloaded a .doc file from the internet with Firefox and saved it to hard drive. Then I had it converted to a .pdf format online via zamzar.com. Then I opened it with Adobe Reader XI and saved it to hard drive, but it changes size in that process. There's a popup near lower right of screen saying "Optimizing for Fast Web Viewing" (see graphic below) which I never saw before. This is very disconcerting and upsets all notions of file identity based on size. I don't want it to change the size automatically. How do I turn that off?
(Windows XP Home SP3, Adobe Reader XI)

Back up and restore using iTunes.
