  • Converting a Adobe Reader 9 PDF file to an Excel Spreadsheet

    I want to convert an Adobe Reader 9 PDF file to an Excel spreadsheet. How do I do this?

    Use Adobe Acrobat.
    Or use ExportPDF.
    Or use any of the free tools that can be found on the Internet.

  • On one site... FireFox always asks what application to use to open a pDF even with "Do this automatically..." select. How do I make it always use Adobe Reader for PDF files?

    When I click on a PDF file it always presents the "You have chosen to open ..." dialog box. Even though it knows it is a PDF file and should use the Adobe Reader. I've checked the Tools / Options ... Application section which is set correctly as well. I've tried setting it to other aps too. yet it always asks. How do I get around this?

    Hi meunchdl,
    You might want to take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Preferences are not saved]]. There is some good information in there that might help you with your issue.

  • KDE4 desktop does not list Adobe Reader for pdf files

    If I right click on a PDF file in Dolphin, Adobe Reader is not listed under "open with". Any idea why this is? What is need to get it to show up?

    Well up front I would like to thank all of you that responded, and tell you that I am sorry that I have not posted back. But, I have been trying to incorporate and to ensure that I have been following the suggestions that you have provided.
    Let me provide a bit more of information:
    I am trying to safe a chart from the Reunion Family program, which I have been using for a few years.
    I did save one Descendant chart and was able to send it to a group of the family as a PDF file. This was using adobe 5. After I sent that chart, I upgraded the adobe 5 software to adobe reader 9. Since the upgrade I have not been able to save a chart in the Graphic File.pdf. The file saves but when I open the file it is a one page blank document. However, I can go into preferences and by changing the view size, it will show the entire document (sometimes). I tried to save that document and send it, but the people who receive it stated that it comes as a blank page. I also, saved the file as a JPEG and sent it, but the people stated that it comes as a very narrow column, unreadable, and can not be open.
    I have went back and removed the installed upgrade and started from scratch, I am using the correct software package, and after uploading it, I do run the permissions program.
    So, once again I am trying to obtain some knowledge on how to safe the descendant file as a PDF file and send it by e mail.
    It is driving me crazy-and once again proves that the machine is much smarter than I.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Using Adobe Reader for PDF Files

    I am having a heck of a problem using Adobe Reader to open PDF files.
    Work very well until last week when I downloaded the upgrade for the program. I had been using Adobe5 (6), upgraded to Adobe Reader 9. Now, I can not open a pdf file that is sent to me. Nor, can I save a file into the PDF format.
    I have done the pass word, permission thing, have removed the Adobe 9 from the hard drive and than reloaded it.
    Still have the same problems.
    Does anyone have any suggestions that they would be willing to provide that might get me back into business?

  • Installed Adobe Reader, now .pdf files do not download automatically

    Hello,
    Unfortunately, I recently had to download Acrobat Reader to complete a .pdf form with fancy menu fields. Now, whenever I click on an internet link to a .pdf file, Safari tries to open the document in a browser window, and seems to hang on a white screen. Sometimes I get a prompt asking me to locate Acrobat Reader. What a vile program... infecting other applications like that.
    Previously, .pdf files would automatically download to my desktop when I clicked on a link to one. How do I restore this functionality? I would like all .pdf files to download automatically when clicked rather than being displayed in a browser window. Thanks very much.

    Use Onyx to set this preference

  • I have an older computer and could not read a pdf file so I just added the Adobe software for $14.95 and downloaded it but still can not open the reader.  If I can't open it, please refund my money.

    downloaded new software and still can't open files

    Hi [email protected] ,
    In order to read the PDF file, you need to download and install Adobe Reader. Please download it from the link below:

  • I cann't find the"define" option in adobe reader when I read a PDF file in iPad 3.

    I cann't find the "define" option in adobe reader when I read a PDF file in my iPad 3. I have already latest reader version and iOS 5.1.1 installed.

    I believe that I figured it out.
    holding finger over a word, will bring the copy/define menu
    holding finger where there is NO text, empty space or image, will bring up the annotation menu.
    but note that if you have a scanned document, where the words are actually an image, you will get the annotation menu, since there really is no text, just a bunch of pixels that look like text...
    you can turn scanned text into "real" text by using OCR functionality of the desktop version of Acrobat Pro (not Reader), it would then create a layer of invisible text under the image of the text.

    Hi wellsfar,
    Which version of Adobe Reader you are using?
    Is it showing any error message?
    A screenshot of the error would be more helpful.

  • Problem in Reading a .PDF file

    HI Friends,
    I am reading a .pdf file from within java program using its java.io package.
    I am able to read the file, but when I print the line read from file on to the screen, it all garbage. Its not in readable characters.
    I guess its reagrding mismatch in Charcter Sets of original file and the stream with which I m reading the file.
    So,if u know the solution plz suggest me.

    Hello Simple@java
    Here's an exemple of a class that opens the File "rapport.pdf" located at the same place as the class.
    Of course AcroRd32.exe is the name of Acrobat Reader which allows to read pdf files. You can get it on : adobe.com(http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html)
    You will change "rapport.pdf" by the name of your pdf file.
    Then execute "test()".
    * Open the file "rapport.pdf"
    public class test
         public test()
              Runtime a = Runtime.getRuntime();
              try
                   a.exec("AcroRd32.exe rapport.pdf");               
              catch (Exception e)
                   System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    Good luck !
