Apache pdf file permission issues

I have a intranet site that I need to publish some pdf files. I am using a G5, Leopard and apache 2 and PHP. My PHP is just providing a link the pdf documents, but when a user clicks on the link they get a message "You don't have permission to access /PDF/filename.pdf on this server." I don't think there is any apache configuration to change but maybe I am wrong. Does anyone know what this could be?

Clearly Apache doesn't have permission to serve the files (or the directory it's in).
Check the permissions on the file. it needs to be readable at least by the user _www. The directory it's in also needs to be readable as well as executable (Apache can't look into a directory that isn't executable).

Illustrator CS4 .pdf files - two issues

Issue 1: In Bridge I cannot open an .ai or .pdf file in Illustrator by clicking a thumbnail. Is 'drag and drop' into Illustator from Bridge the sole method? (apart from not using Bridge).
Issue 2: After exporting an .ai file to .pdf (Acrobat Pro CS4) a 'File Association' alert is shown. In previous versions of Illustrator the newly created .pdf file would open up in Acrobat for review/email forwarding etc when the 'preview in Acrobat' was selected... I am confused about the correct settings in the File Associations Panel in Bridge (Edit/Preferences/File Handling) under Illustrator it shows Illustrator and in the drop down InDesign and two other programmes I do not use. If someone can advise me how to add Acrobat to that drop-down I would be most grateful.

Don't think it could be corrupt preferences. I've tried trashing the prefs as well as reinstalling CS4.
I've noticed that it has something to do with an object that has a stroke. If I create a new box without a stroke then then my initial measurements are correct. However if I add a stroke my measures change according to the stroke weight. I've looked for ways to turn this off, but can not seem to find anything. I think this problem has something to do with the over all appearance of things.
Which lead me to another issues I'm having.... What happened to the "Filter" menu? When I try to round corners on a rectangle it applies the round corners as an effect "appearance". I have to expand the appearance in order to the corners to actually be rounded. Why did this change? I want to change the actual object the first time I create it and not take extra steps. This can waste a lot of time. I think this same issue is what is going on with the stroke weight. I don't want my object size to increase when I increase my stroke weight. If I did want this, I would create outlines. Can this be turned off? If not, I will have to continue using CS3 until Adobe fixes this problem.

File permission issues

I cannot access any printer plug-ins by going the HD>Library>Printer>Epson>Inkjet route. All the plug-ins are grayed out so I cannot load them. I am attempting to add a printer attached to a windows machine. I followed all the instructions, I can see the correct plug-in, but I cannot load the plug-in.
The second permission issue is moving jpeg files to the DVD or to a windows machine on the network. I am the owner of the files and all the folders are marked read and write. I also have checked windows file sharing.
I have also done the repair permission route.
I am new to Macs, so this is probably a simple ix, it just does not show up in the searches I have made in the Help menu or support topics. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for the tip, but I have tried every known fix listed anywhere and still am missing something somewhere. I can access the correct drivers when I connect the epson directly to the laptop and it will work. I can almost access the print drivers if I use IP Print when connecting to the printer across the workgroup. Almost, in that the drivers are no longer grayed-out, but if I select them, I still get generic print driver and it ignores the Epson driver. For some reason, if I try to install the driver for the printer while it is attached to a PC on the windows nworkgroup, using windows print, the print utility will not allow me to use the print driver. It has got to be something silly that I am missing.

Regarding PDF files open issues

Hi, I am Anurag Tiwari working as a Portal Administrator for Sunchemical Portal. We are facing some issues while opening PDF documents through portal. The PDF documents are able to open without logon to portal, through the 'http' link associated with the document, even though we cleared the PTCache then also it's happening the same. Please can you raise this as a high priority call to provide a better solution to us?Kindly advice us and please revert us back on this. NB: Our Portal version is 4.5, SP1.Thank you.Best Regards,Anurag TiwariPortal Administrator

Paul,
These PDF files are opening at any domain doesn't need any authenticated to portal. One important point is that all our files including the pdf one is in the https response. But other is not opening, only PDF causing this problem. We have checked this with version 5.0.2, this is not happening.
e.g: https://<myportal>.com/portal/PTCache/<file name>.pdf?ID=<document ID>&PTToken=pv_conflate&Name=.pdf, this is the generated URL syntax. Whether the naming convection for PDF documents are single/multi-word with space/underscore between them, doesn't effect.
We thought due to PTCache this might happen, so we cleared the PTCache, still it persist. If this is a configuration issue then please provide us a remedy for patch up.
Our file server and portal server are different. Please help us in this issue; we are not getting any solution on this.
Further, let me know if you need more information.
Thanks & Best Regards,Anurag TiwariPortal Administrator

Save As PDF file size issues

I am currently using Word 2008 to produce a club newsletter for email distribution. The Word (.docx) file can be up to 2.4MB in size. When I use Print > Save to PDF the resulting file can be as large as 12MB! I tried using the CUPS-PDF virtual printer option and got a file 26MB is size!!
A friend used his Windoze machine to print to PDF and got the file size I was after at just over 1MB. I also tried the Adobe Online "convert to PDF service" and got file sizes lower than 1MB.
What is going on with the Mac OSX conversion? How can I get smaller PDF's without having to shell out for Adobe Acrobat Pro?

This may not help or may degrade any images in your document, but try this: Open the PDF file in the Preview application. Invoke File -> Save As, then set "Quartz Filter" to "Reduce File Size", give the file a different name, and save the file.

PDF File Format Issue

I have a PC in which I have InDesign CS4 installed. I am trying to create a book cover using a preset template that is saved in a pdf format. How do I get this program to open this type of file?

Sorry, InDesign has never opened PDF files. You can choose File > Place. You could put the template on its own layer and reduce its opacity so you could use it as a template for your project.

[FIXED] File permission issues.

Hi all,
I am unable to save over files without first giving a text editor with root privileges (sudo leafpad file_name).
The permissions state that my user is the owner of these files and that the owner can view, change and access them. I am also unable to open Spotify without first giving it root privileges.
Anyone got any suggestions as to how I can fix this?
Thank you.

Hi there,
I was working through what you asked me to do and I noticed something.
The output of ls -l of the files that I am unable to modify stated that I didn't have modification privileges for certain files. I checked the properties through the file manager and it said that it was owned by root and that I could not modify.
The files in question are things like .bashrc, .bash_profile and the rc.lua (awesome wm). These have been copied from /etc/skel and /etc/xdg/awesome to /home/ and ~/.config/awesome/ respectively.
I haven't had much of a need to save over non-configuration files as of yet, and have been using root privileges to do so assuming that there was an issue with all files but after doing your test I could see that there was no issue with other files. I also tried to save over a few others and everything worked fine.
I would consider this issue fixed as a simple chmod fixed the files I was unable to save over. But I'm wondering, is there a way that I can automatically change a file's permission as I copy it from / to my home directory?

Pdf file display issues

My team is experiencing an issue when trying to view a pdf from an HTMLResources.zip file on iOS.
The pdf will display, but then immediately slide back down and close the v27 iOS app. Any ideas why?
Thanks

Bob,
Thanks for pointing that out -- iOS5 support is in fact the reason that we've chosen to hold at v27. However, I will burn a v29 test app to see if it clears that problem up for us.
Thanks again.

File permission issues after copying from hard drive

Hi there,
I've copied my Sites folder (containing lots of HTML, CSS, PHP files) from a Time Machine backup that lives on an external hard drive onto my new MacBook Air running Lion.
Now, I can't edit any of the files. Here are the errors I'm getting:
http://d.pr/1jlu
I've already tried the following system/preference changes:
Make sure the Time Machine "2 week lock" is disabled
Make sure the folder (and subfolders) are not locked via "get info"
Make sure I have read/write permissions for the folder/files
See:
http://d.pr/Iiee
I'm going crazy! Nothing seems to help? What else can I try to get back permission to edit my own files? (Not very familiar with Terminal unfortunately).
Help please!
Kai

That sounds like something's corrupted on your backups. Try to repair them, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
If that finds and fixes errors, your best bet will be to do a full system restore, per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum). That will bring everything back, just as it was, permissions and all.
If that doesn't work, the problem with your HD may have damaged your installation of OSX and/or some of your data, which Time Machine backed-up. So try it again, but choose an earlier backup, from before all the trouble started.

File permission issues when sharing project

Hi,
We are sharing a project amongst two developers that each have an account on a (Windows 7) machine. They are part of a windows group and don't develop at the same time. All directories and files are in the group and are set to inherit permissions. After one user develops using Labview, all the files that he saved when using Labview have the group permission removed and the second developer can no longer open the files. Our sys admins claim Labview is somehow changing the permissions. Has anyone seen/overcome this?
Thanks,
Steve

Where is the file being saved?
No place special. We have a labview project/ directory under our own directory under C:/ that roots all the Labview project files.
If both users have full access to the directory where the files are being saved, there shouldn't be any problems. I'm sure LabVIEW isn't doing anything to change access rights.
Both users have full access. If I create a new file it has the correct permissions (a local group).
I'm concerned about the comment "part of a windows group"? Most PC's in a corporate environment are part of an actual network domain, and don't use that poorman's excuse for network access rights of a workgroup that Windows seems to want to use for standalone PC's and those not registered onto a network.
I wouldn't be too concerned =) We have a nationwide federated domain. The "group" is a local group on the computer for two people specifically to share this labview project.

File Permission issues on a windows server after updating

Hello,
But, I just updated Adobe InDesign and have a problem opening files on the network. This was not an issue until the upgrade.
Strangely, it’s JUST InDesign, opening files on the network. Doesn’t happen to local files, other Adobe products, or the MacBook we have on site.
JUST InDesign on the new iMac and opening files on the network.
I’m stopped the first time and have to try it again. It seems to work every time on the second try.
Any ideas please. I am stumped.

I am having the same issues here. I am also having issues saving a new file onto a server. Along with packaging onto the server. Only started after this update. My coworker is having these same issues after updating as well.
