When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

Hi.
Does this only open on that specific site?
In any case, you may want to:
- instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
- reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
- install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

You can't avoid the echo box, unfortunate but that's the
compromise if you go with
the BAT file method.
For many years I have been using Flash Jester tool call
JStart. Works like charm
all the way, no extra pop up windows :)
http://flashjester.com/?section=tricks_jtools_jstart
JStart will allow you to not only launch a program, but use
parameters to make the
program open files, perform special actions and just about
anything you can use
parameters for. You can also choose to launch files with
their default associated
program.
Another solution is provided by by Rick Turoczy, it's pretty
old but should still
work. Perhaps give it a try.

Easy to use tool that allow you to launch basically anything
from the projector.
As long as there is system default application supporting
particle file.

Trying to open a PDF document from a website

when trying to open a PDF document from a website, it goes to a totally black page with a white box in the middle, and states:
Adobe Reader
Before viewing PDF documentsin this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and except the End User License Agreement, then Quit and re-launch the browser.
consequently, i can't open the document

The first question is, did you do what it said? Launch Reader (on its own, not in a browser) and accept the agreement?

How to open the pdf document from KM through Link to URL UI element

Hi All,
I have Link to URL UI element in webdynpro java layout - on click of the link we need to open the pdf document from KM respository.
KM Document location : irj/go/km/docs/documents/RHPortal//USA/A/Test/Employee_details.pdf.
Once this is transported to Test and Production portals , we need to retrieve the KM document from the respective portal location through the Link to URL UI element .
Thanks,
Portaluser100

Hi,
If you set the link to your document in a Context attribute by using a relative path this should work just fine.
Example:
wdContext.currentContextElement().setUrl("/irj/go/km/docs/documents/RHPortal//USA/A/Test/Employee_details.pdf");
Bind that attribute to the reference property of the LinkToURL element.
Cheers,
Leo

Display PDF document from Servlets to browser - how 2 change the title

Adobe Reader DC, doesn't disable "Display PDF Document in the web browser" when option is unchecked.

The option under Accessibility>Setup Assistanct to uncheck the "Display PDF Document in the web browser" doesn't correctly disable Display PDF in browser when unchecked, it still defaults to opening in Internet Explorer even after restarting the browser. Confirmed this tested agianst with IE 8, 9, 10 and 11 with the same behavior. Moving back to Reader 11.0.10 and using this same setting works flawlessly. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I am out of the office until 1/22/13.

With OSX10.7.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02 when I try to open a PDF downloaded from the web I get 'There was an error opening this document. This file is damaged and could not be repaired. Preview will not open either. Older PDFs OK.

I am running OS X 10.7.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02. In the last few days I have been unable to open PDF's downloaded from the web. Reader gives the error message 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired'. Removing Reader and trying to use Preview to open these files give the error 'Preview cannot open this file. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise' (or something like that). Downloading the same files with Reader removed from my Mac Preview opens the files OK.
I was recently prompted to update Adobe software but did not note exactly what the update was nor when it was done.
Reader and Preview will both open PDFs I downloaded a week ago. Reader will also open files downloaded on another Mac running OS X 10.0.0 and copied to my Mac. Any ideas?

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.

I cannot open a pdf document from a website

I am using Int Explorer and have Reader 9.1 installed. When I try to open a pdf doc I get a box which has Adobe Reader top left and blue question mark and an OK box. When I click OK nothing happens. I have tried the various suggestions from knowledge base including making sure Reader was enabled but to no avail. It does not happen all the time as I have been able to view pdf pages from a manufacturers on line catalogue. Any ideas??

That could be the problem; attachments often get damaged during the transport.
Can you ask the sender of these documents to upload one of them to a file sharing server (SendNow, Dropbox, Google Drive, ...), and see if you can get the document undamaged?

Search Server 2010 Express: Open a PDF document from list of search results invokes adobe reader client application with error

Hi community,
I set up search server 2010 express on a windows 2008 r2 server.
The Adobe PDF iFilter 9 64 bit is installed and search is correctly configured to find PDF-files.
When doing a search and clicking on a link of the result page, the PDF is not opened in the browser, instead the adobe reader XI client application (11.0.04) is invoked and an error raised like "could not open document .. check syntax of url..."
Right click on a link to open in new tab works fine. And PDF-Files from other arbitrary Internet Sites opens in browser correctly. Moreover when configure Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 as default application on the client it also open in Browser correctly.
I noticed googling the web there are several challenges when dealing with PDF-files in sharepoint. The following settings are made so far:
1. In IE: Add-On to open PDF in Browser is enabled for all sites.
2. Client Integration is enabled
3. The OpenControl attribute in the DOCICON.xml is left empty OpenControl="" for the pdf entry.
4. The Browser File Handling is set to "Permissive".
Please feel free to ask for more information if needed.
I appreciate any help on this. I don't know what to do further.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply.
Before responding to your points I want to give a little more context:
We have an intranet based on pure html and a little aspx containing many of those pdf- files. By clicking on the links in the intranet the files open correctly in browser handled by the adobe plugin. Now we set up this search server crawling the file system
accessed through a share to the root folder of the intranet. In the search server settings a host mapping rule is applied to replace the file://[share] with http://[intranet host+domain+port] to access files over http.
And now to answer your question. The resulting urls are the same, copying the link from intranet and copying the link from the search result (except some case issues).
The event viewer not seem to show any errors on this, though I'm not very familiar using it.
If any further information are from interest and any ideas come to your mind - please let me know.
Thanks.
