AIR Preventing me from opening a pdf file

When I receive pdf files via email or attach one of my own pdf files to an email, I am unable to open the pdf file. I get a message indicating 'Please wait while Adobe AIR setup is being executed', then the bar that says 'processing Adobe AIR'. It reaches 100% and then nothing else happens. The pdf file is not opened. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe AIR, and nothing changes. Then I tried uninstalling AIR and not reinstalling it, and all my pdf files still get the same message 'Please wait while Adobe AIR setup is being executed'. When I publish my WordPerfect documents to pdf, I can open the pdf file using Adobe 9.3 because it gives me the option to "open with"; however, pdf's that I receive via email, I'm not given the option of what program to open it with. My only option is to "open". I need to either get rid of the annoying AIR so that all my pdf files open with Adobe 9.3, or get the AIR to work properly. Can anyone help???? Thanks!

This forum is for AIR Help, not help with the AIR application. AIR is a development tool that allows developers to create applications. One such application being a means of providing the help for software. So it is AIR that is causing your problem, not AIR Help.
With that said, I happened to see someone who had a bad install of AIR that was causing a different problem, namely every time the PC was booted Explorer opened to the folder with the setup file. In the end I installed it and then uninstalled it. Then did the same with Acrobat and all was well.
Maybe you can find the AIR setup or you can look in Add / Remove Programs and work from there.
Beyond that I suggest you ask in the correct forum, either Acrobat Reader or AIR, most likely the first.

Prevent user from download my PDF file on JSP page

I'm developing a web application using JSP, html, and javascript. I would like to prevent user from download my PDF file and only able to open on browser and read.

opening and reading involves a download.
So i dont think you cant prevent that.

How can I prevent Word 2013 from opening a PDF file to edit it?

As per the title - I create training manuals in MS Word and save as PDF for distribution to clients.
How cna I prevent them from opening and editing them with Word 2013?

You can restrict editing and printing of a PDF document by setting permissions when you create the initial PDF. This can be done as:
Open Word document to convert.
Go to Acrobat tab on Word ribbon -> Select Preferences button.
On Security tab of the Preferences dialog, tick mark the check box for "Restrict editing and printing of the document. A password will be required in order to change these permission settings."
Specify a password in "Change Permissions Password" tex box.
Click OK.
Input the password again in the confirmation dialog.
Go to "Create PDF" button.
The PDF thus created, will have editing restricted. And Word 2013 will not be able to open it.
Thanks.

Prevent user from opening an applescript file

Greetings,
I have written an Applescript for use by the User to change file permissions on folders or files they get from clients from outside our company. The permissions of these files denies the User from opening the files and work with them The script I wrote will change those permissions to Read/Write but also contains Administrator information with regards to Admin Name and Password. The script runs just fine.
Where my problem arises is I cannot find a way to prevent a User from using the Applescript application on their workstation to open my script and view the Admin name and Password. What I need to happen is to have the script run when the User places a file on the icon, but not allow a User to open the script to see the coding. I'm really new to Applescript and I figure i am missing something. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Are these items downloaded into the same folder in each user account?
That part is reliably the same or are users involved choosing the save location?
Frankly I'd scrap Applescript - it is a pain for anything involving admin privs & normal users.
Option 1…
Stick a task into roots crontab to chmod/ chown that location every 5 minutes or so!
If you want to be smart about it check if the perms are in a mess before you fix them. A shell script can do this. Obviously you need to check the path to give the correct user the ownership etc.
Option 2…
Set a launchd job to watch a specific folder & run a command when items are added - like folder actions without the crappy Applescript part
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man5/launchd.plist.5.html#//apple_ref/do…
It would need to be a system level job since the user doesn't seem to have enough permission.
If you need to use an application to allow the user to have control an Applescript droplet could move the items to the watched folder, where the launchd job resets the perms. Then the items could be moved elsewhere via the script that runs from the watch job.
It all seems kinda kludgy, but sometimes that is how OS X is!
Perhaps this is outlandish & impractical but so is manually fixing stuff like this every time someone calls
Any thoughts?

Corrupt audio file prevents me from opening Logic project file

Hello,
I've been running Logic 8 for a couple years off my MacBook and have never encountered any significant problems of file corruption until recently.
The issue I encountered is this:
I've been producing a lengthy track in an on-going Logic project file for some time and after completing a recording session I saved and started deleting excess track copies to clean up my arrange window. Upon doing so Logic unexpectedly crashed.
After attempting to reopen the project file, it started its normal process of loading its respective audio files, but now it hangs on one particular audio file indefinitely (I'll refer to it as 'audio file x' for ease of reference), freezing and crashing Logic as a result. All of this project file's auto backup files are also incapable of being opened without giving me the same result and crashing Logic.
I have no way of opening this project file and getting at my most recent saved sequence!
I've tried removing this corrupt 'audio file x' from the project's audio folder and dragging it to the desktop, but this had no effect and I still can't open any recent version of the project file.
Older saved copies of the current project file do still open though (most likely because they were saved prior to the corruption caused by this suspect 'audio file x.') When opening an earlier iteration of the project, I get a message '1 invalid audio region found' (I assume referring to the corrupt suspect 'audio file x' that I removed to the desktop) but the project file is still able to open.
I realize I could import the audio files from the most recent version of the crashed file to an older project version and reconstruct things back to the way they were, but it would take me a lot of time and I'm hoping there may be some way to recover the un-openable project file by getting it to stop looking for this corrupted 'audio file x' on startup.
When I click 'show package contents' of the Logic Project file, I notice two items labeled 'displayState' and 'documentData.' From my troubleshooting I've come to the basic understanding that the 'documentData' file contains all the sequence data and settings for its respective Logic Project file.
I think the 'document data' of the unopenable project file in question may be corrupt because whenever I replace it with the 'document data' from an earlier Project file version, the file is able to open. This doesn't do me much good though, because it's document data from an earlier iteration of the project and I need to be able to get at the current sequence I had right before my file crashed.
Is there anyway to open a project file without letting it load its audio files? Or is there anyway I could get inside the 'document data' file to delete the reference/pathway in its audio bin to the corrupt 'audio file x' its hanging on?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping there's some way I won't have to repeat a couple days worth of work. Thanks for your help!

After further troubleshooting I've realized that the suspicious audio file that prevents the project file from opening is actually not corrupted itself. I can still play the audio file in other media software like Quicktime, etc. with no problem.
This leads me to believe the problem opening the project file lies solely with the corrupted 'documentData' file.
Does anyone have any ideas about how I could somehow open this project file and delete the reference of the troublesome audio file from the project's audio bin?
Well... it really sounds like the project itself is corrupted, that's one of the reasons all project files won't load from a certain point on.
Try this.
Reboot the Mac.
Open the Applications folder and boot Logic from it's icon.
As soon as the Logic Logo/graphic window appears on the screen hold down the control key. You will see a message pop up that says something like "Launch the Core Audio Driver" there will be yes/no choice available... select NO.
Go to the File menu and selct "open" go find your project file and see if it will open. If it does.. delete the audio file in question... however.. I would also look at any plugins you recently installed and are possibly using in this project...this sounds more like a plugin problem rather than an audio file problem, but that's just a gut feeling.
Anyway, if it opens delete whatever you suspect and save under a different name.
Reboot Logic and see if it can load the project.

I cannot open any pdf files on my mac book air. I used to be able to open them. It was suggested that I get OS Mountain Lion and I did. still can't. Any ideas?

You can download Adobe Reader from adobe.com. The Mac OSX uses its "reader" to open PDF files without the Adobe Reader. If you downloader adobe reader, it should open all PDF files. Hope this helps.

When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is there any way to correct this problem?

When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." When I save the same PDF file using FireFox it opens up immediately. Is there any way to correct this problem with Safari?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Could you please check and suggest us as to how to fix it.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
We verified your OSS notes it's not relevant to us Because our issue is while opening the PDF aatchement it is not transferring to my SAP Work Directory because of that reason we are getting the KPRO error. When I'm opening the other PDF files it's transferring to my SAP Work Directory and it's automatically open without any issue.
Please check and suggest.

Open Multiple PDF files from Production order/Routing

Hi Everyone
We are in ECC 6.0 environment. We have a scenario where multiple documents were attached to single operation and also at multiple operations. But when I was trying to open these PDF documents, only the last file was getting opened and closing the previous file. How can I open multiple PDF files at one time from Production order or Routing?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
from DMS standard I regret but such a functionality is not available. In the standard originals can be opened only one after another.
I think for realising this functionality an individual modificatoin is necessary.
Best regards,
Christoph

Open a PDF File from a SSRS Report

I have a requirement to include a link of some sort on SSRS reports that opens a PDF file. If this were being implemented in an Access report, a click event using the Application.FollowHyperlink method will do the trick. Is there an analogous
method to accomplish this on a SSRS report, please?

Thanks to Bipin.P ! Although I do not yet have the product installed with which to work, I found the following in the RDL specs. So, if SSRS functionality is identical to that of an IsHyperlink textbox, our requirement will be satisfied
easily.
Thanks again to all!
From the SQL Server Reporting Services RDL (Report Definition Language) Specification document, page 41:
Action
The Action element defines a hyperlink, bookmark link or drillthrough action associated with a ReportItem.
Name
Type
Description
Hyperlink
Expression (URL)
An expression that evaluates to the URL of the hyperlink (18)
(18) The Access IsHyperlink property of Textboxes will be supported via this more general mechanism. The Hyperlink property of the Textbox can be set to the same expression as
the Value property of the Textbox.
Implemented on an Access Report on 05/06/2010:
Set the IsHyperlink property of a Textbox to Yes
Set the Value property of the Textbox to =”Open PDF File#C:\UPDATES\HelpFiles\UIU Boot Menu.pdf”

How do I get Adobe Acorbat to open a .pdf file from a sharepoint library without having to checkout the file

I have a customer that is using Adobe Acrobat pro version 10.1. When they try and open a .pdf file from a SharePoint site, the user is prompted to check out and open the file or open the file. Is there a way to get Adobe Acrobat to open the .pdf file without prompting to check out or open?
Thanks
Jim

This is mostly a lion thing, rather than a PSE thing. To disable applications opening where they left off last time for all the programs on your computer, go to system preferences>general and untick this box:
You can also do on a per-program basis, but it's more complicated and the best thing to do is to search around for directions on the web and see which way is least uncomfortable for you.
There's an odd little glitch in PSE that it opens the last image you had open, even if you closed it before quitting last time. Adobe says this is correct behavior, but of course it isn't.
