Cannot copy tagged pdf files to device with ActiveSync

I am using a Dell Axim X50V running Windows 2003 second edition. I have Acrobat Reader 2 for ppc installed which reads files with no problem. However, when I try to copy files to my device using Active Sync, it will only let me do so if I select the option *not* to convert them to tagged files. If the option to convert to tagged files is selected, it tells me that "There was a problem backing up your Synchronised Files folder" and "Conversion failed. The specified module could not be found." It then suggests I haven't got enough memory (which I have), or the files are read-only (which they aren't), or that I don't have permission to copy this file type.
If I try copying pdf files to my device via Active Sync without converting them to tagged files, it works without any problems, but I can't reflow.
Is there an easy way to persuade Active Sync to copy tagged pdf files to my device?

I just solved this problem on my computer. This may or may not apply to you, but let me tell you what I found.
When active-sync tries to move a PDF file to your PDA, the first thing it does is look for the tools it needs to tag that file.
To find these tools, it goes to the folder where you first installed Adobe 2.0 on your computer. In my case, I moved that folder, thinking I could conserve hard disk space. You might also have deleted that folder, thinking it was no longer needed once Adobe 2.0 was on your PDA. In my case, once I put those files back in the same place where they were installed, the functionality was restored.
I hope this helps. good luck!

What is your operating system? What is your browser? What is your Reader version? What exactly means "cannot"?

Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file that can be opened with Reader 9?

Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file within a browser that can be opened with Reader 9?

Hi Steve,
Sorry, I cannot post a URL to the file because it is for intenal use only.
I noticed that the pdf file can be opened outside of IE browser if I disable the Adobe Reader add-on (active-X) in IE browser. If I enable the Reader add-on, the Reader cannot complete the file download. The progress bar goes in a half way, and stays there.
Just FYI, the pdf file was created by Distiller 7. Do you think it is the issue of Reader add-on? Thanks.

I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section).

I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section or IRS.gov or credit card statements). I have uninstalled Reader XI, cleaned and reinstalled. I have no problem right-clicking and downloading and then viewing the files. No problem viewing acrobat files. I'm runnnig Windows 7, IE9. I can acces them through Chrome.

RESOLVED
I found two suspect programs that were installed within the last 48-hrs that may have caused the problem
1) - Libre Office - latest update. This is a fork of Open Office. (unlikely)
2) - ManyCam video manipulation software (likely)
Following info here, I opted to try to open an Adobe PDF file that was on my hard drive. When I did, it refused and IE10 gave me an ActiveX error (AHA!!). When I checked the installation of ManyCam, it had installed a version of DirectX that may have over-written the resident versions or disabled them somehow.
I uninstalled ManyCam but left Libre Office's update in place, then I ran a system restore from a point 24-hrs before the installations.
This resolved the problem 100%.
So, the suggestion here is that there may be one or more program in the wild that is interupting the ActiveX or DirectX systems. They may be running or installing an older version. In this case it appears the handlers were broken.
Once the system restore had completed I was able to open Adobe PDF files within my IE10 browser from the Internet as well as open PDF files from my hard drive.
Note that this same issue also clearned up a problem I was having with the Comodo Dragon web browser, which is a fork of the Chrome project. Once I eliminated the suspect program and ran the system restore all was well. In the instance of the Comodo browser it was unable to open or reach anything - dead white screen below the menu bar.
So my suggestion would be to take an inventory of recent program installations, remove/uninstall them, run system restore from a date before the suspect programs were added, and see what happens. In my case that fixed the problem.

download adobe acrobat reader for free, saves all PDF files and ideally open under Acrobat
there are much more options for using and viewing the options native in Acrobat than in Safari, obviously.

Thanks for writing to us. Unfortunately, such advanced javascript support is currently not provided by Adobe Reader for Android.

Viewing PDF files in-browser with Firefox (17.0 as of this writing) on a Mac

Hello there,
since I don't remember when there has been a problem with the Adobe Reader NPAPI plug-in and Firefox. Previously, with earlier versions of Firefox and with Adobe Reader 10.x the problem was that the plug-in wasn't working properly and one got a blank page without any explanation. This led to Firefox black-listing the Adobe Reader NPAPI plug-in and having it disabled by default, if I remember correctly. Now it seems we've got the situation reversed, as if Adobe has black-listed Firefox as a browser, because when I try viewing a PDF file in-browser with the most up-to-date versions (17 and 11 for Firefox and Reader respectively), I'm getting the following error:
Adobe Reader cannot show documents in this browser.
We are sorry, but Adobe Reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration.
Please use your browser to download this file and open it in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.
To avoid this message in the future, many browsers provide a way to turn off certain add-ons, and some are able to show this document natively.
Please contact your browser vendor for more details.
All's well that ends well, but unfortunately we haven't seen any solution so far. With Safari 6.x the plug-in is working fine. With Firefox it isn't. Let's see what can be done: in its last sentence the error message recommends that I contact my browser vendor for more details. The wording of the first two sentences however suggests otherwise: "Adobe Reader cannot show documents in this browser. Adobe reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration." Thus, my question is
What is it in this browser and/or browser configuration that doesn't suit the Adobe Reader plug-in? Is it only this newest Firefox version (17) that isn't supported or is it the Firefox browser and why? Should I be able to spoof Firefox' identity and make it seem like Safari to the plug-in, what's going to happen?

Very frustrating, but I found the fix (on another site - can't believe with 360 views, no one here knew). In Firefox, PDFs are automatically set to open with the faulty Adobe plug-in. To change it to open with Adobe Reader, check out the instructions here:

My operating system is Windows XP SP3. I have Adobe 11.0.08 installed. I cannot print a pdf file/document. Error message - AeroRd32.exe - Unable To Locate Component - "Application failed to start because lxdautil.dll not found." Any suggestions?

That DLL is part of your printer driver; reinstall or update the device driver for your printer, and the message should go away.

Installed Mac OS X v.10.6.7, and now we cannot create a PDF file

Installed Mac OS X v.10.6.7, and now we cannot create a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Professional. This has been done on two computers, one an iMac and the other a MacBook Pro. Assistance greatly appreciated.

Yes, Adobe Acrobat X Pro is the same thing as Acrobat X Pro.
Print to PDF is probably the most reliable way to create a PDF file.
File > Create > PDF from File
is shaky. It works with some file types but not with others.
Another issue is creating a multi-page PDF from a scanner. If you neglect to check the box "Prompt for scanning more pages" and, instead, simply try to add a second page, the application crashes.

Tagged PDF files from ColdFusion.

Does anybody know about the current -- and maybe future --
capabilities
of ColdFusion tools that generate PDF files, such as
<cfreport...> and
<cfdcoument...> tags, to create 'tagged' PDF files?
Tagged PDF files are PDF documents that have structural
markup
information along the lines of HTML to give accessibility
aids, such as
screen readers, more information on what content the PDF
document contains.
I have been looking high and low for information on how one
may create
tagged PDF's -- or add tag markup to a created PDF -- with
ColdFusion.
I'm getting a sinking feeling this is just beyond the
capability of our
beloved tool!

This is a rather old version; you may need to run it in XP compatibility mode.

Cannot generate a pdf file in Framemaker 9

I have been struggling with generating pdf file while they were all in a book, but sometimes it worked. But because I needed to add a pdf that was created in Adobe LifeCycle Designer ES2 to the already generated pdf file and this newly added file would lose its date text boxes, I have decided to get rid of the book and generate separate files altogether. I have saved those files after I had deleted the book file and now I cannot create a pdf file no matter what setting or option I try. Adobe does not exactly make it easy to troubleshoot any kind o issue. Is there someone out there who has run into this kind of problem and found a solution to it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Simone

Simone, to elaborate a bit on what Arnis and Jeff are suggestiong:
After you make a .ps file, open Adobe Distiller, you should see a white area where any errors will be displayed while the file is being distilled. Now drag the .ps file into Distiller, or double-click on it, either way you should see the white message area begin to process the file.
In the bottom white box it will display page numbers as it processes the file. Watch to see what page number is displayed immediately before you see the error message. That will tell you approximately what page in your FM file is the culprit. Remember that the page numbers shown in Distiller are the "logical" numbers, from "1" on, not the actual page numbers you might have assigned in your FrameMaker document(s), so if the Distiller stops at, say, page 16, you might have 3 pages of TOC and then the first FM content file might start at 1, so the error would be around 16 - 4 = FM page 12.
So then go look at what content is on pages 11 or 12 in your FM document. What unusual kind of content is on those pages? Are there graphics? Inset referenced files?
Unfortunately testing Acrobat from Powerpoint doesn't have much direct comparison to FrameMaker and PDF because Office applications use a completely different process to create a PDF.

I downloaded Redear to see if it could open an old .pdf file. Now I cannot open any .pdf files.

What is wrong with Reader? Having loaded it I now cannot open any .pdf file in my computer or on email.

Cannot get over the impression that the fault is deliberate. Building in the requirement for all users then loading a weak link, that drives you to purchase.
Shockwave is FREE... Flash Player is FREE.... Adobe Reader is FREE... Adobe AIR is FREE... Those four products are, and always have been, FREE... Flash Professional, which is for creating and editing Flash animation and video files, is a paid licensed product. Acrobat Professional, which is for creating and editing PDFs, is a paid licensed product. Neither Flash Player nor Adobe Reader have any links to prompt an upgrade to the professional version of software for the file format. Never have. Viewing Flash content and PDFs needs to be universally available to the public who receive such content over the Internet. Creating and editing Flash files and PDFs is not something that everyone needs, so it's only available at a cost for those who need it and choose to use Flash Pro or Acrobat.
There are Creative suites with several Adobe applications for everything from photo and graphic editing, to video editing, to making e-readers, to web design, but those are for developers of the individual media.
