"Choose a Language" Instead of Opening a Scanned .pdf

Reader 10 cannot 'read' .pdf attached to email. I get a dropdown box asking me to choose a language. This has happened with three different attachments (scans of documenhts) on two emails from different sources. I uninstalled 10, rebooted and then reinstalled 10. Any clues or suggestions?

What is your operating system?
What is your email client?
Has it ever worked correctly before?  If so, what changed?
After you choose the language, does it open correctly?
Does this not happen when the PDF is not a scanned, but a text-based document?

  • Firefox downloads PDF with wrong extension instead of opening a websites' PDF viewer

    I have a problem with websites that want to provide their own PDF viewer. Instead of launching their viewer, Firefox wants to download the PDF. I'd be perfectly fine with that ***if it downloaded with the correct .pdf extension so that Preview would actually open the PDF***. But that's not what happens; I end up with something like "RetrieveDocument.aspx" or "Retrieve.srv".
    I've tried resetting my download options (http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions). Didn't help.
    I saw some stuff about other plugins I can install. Here's the thing: *this stuff works fine in Chrome and Safari*. Maybe websites aren't tagging their content correctly or something, but this stuff works fine in two other browsers.

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Scanned PDF files open at 300% size

            I use an iMac with System OSX 10.6, and have Adobe Reader installed.   Today I scanned some documents into my computer using my HP Photosmart  All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Copier.   When I open the scanned pdf documents, they are huge--300% of normal size.   I am able to reduce the size using the +/- button, every time I close them and open them again, they open at the large size.    Is there a setting I can change in Adobe Reader or Preferences such that files will open at regular 100% size?   Apple Tech Support was able to help me do this by setting my computer to open pdf documents using Apple's Preview application, but there must also be a way to do it using Adobe Reader?

    Go to Reader preferences>Page Display>Default layout and zoom>Zoom and set it for what you want.

  • HP scanned pdf's are incompatible to other users

    I purchased this printer last week.  I used the scanner for the first time yesterday, and all the docs scanned and saved as PDF on my computer.  I am able to open them, but when I emailed them to other coworkers, they could not open those scanned pdfs.  It said the pdf was not a supported file type or was not correctly decoded.  I can send them other non-scanned PDF's and they are able to open them.
    I rescanned the docs as JPEG, and the pictures appears on my desktop, but other coworkers still cannot open them because it said there was no content.

    Hi there @dibarra 
    Welcome to the community
    I will certainly do my best to help you with the scanning issue you are facing! However, I am going to ask that you please let me know some more helpful information to help me research the problem for you.
    Please respond to me with the following. If there are any steps here that you have not tried, please try them before responding and include the result:
    What printer(s) are installed on the computer?
    How is the printer connected (USB/ wireless/ wired/ Bluetooth)?
    What is the Operating System of the computer?
    Have you tested hardware functionality (made copies)?
    Can you print?
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software?
    If you're running Windows, run the Print and Scan Doctor and include the results.
    Is the printer plugged directly into the wall outlet (avoiding power bars and surge protectors)?
    Have you completed all Windows/Mac OS Updates?
    Have you tried using a different USB/Ethernet cable?
    Thank you!

  • Show Other Language instead of english when typing in TextField

    dears
    i want to make an application in which my user required other language specially
    URDU or ARABIC instead of english when typing in the textfield entries and then

    can i fullfill this task by using java?
    plz help me or give me soild refrenceses.
    thanks in advance

    In case this article doesn't give you the idea, machine language translation is far too complex to teach someone on a forum. You might check out amazon.com for books or search google for other articles, but you aren't going to learn what you need by asking here. The best you can hope for here is some links to books or online material. You might also check out universities in your area and see if they offer some kind of class which might be applicable.
    Here's a google search for language "automatic translation" "open source"
    http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=language+%22automatic+translation%22+%22open+source%22
    You might find some tools which will help, but I really doubt you will find a open source java translator (english<->urdu/arabic)

  • INDEX UNIQUE SCAN instead of   INDEX FULL SCAN or TABLE ACCESS FULL

    I have calculated statistics in all tables and indexes
    I have a table and a view and when I put it
    SELECT *
    FROM TABLE_A A
    INNER JOIN VIEW_B B ON A.KEY_ID = B.PFK_KEY_ID          
    WHERE (B.FK_ID_XXX = 1)
    If I see the execution plan:
    In TABLE_A make a
    TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID
    INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (FIELD_A_TABLE_A_PK)
    It’s OK. I NEED IT (INDEX UNIQUE SCAN)
    But If I put
    SELECT A.Field_1, A.Field_2, A.Field_3, A.Field_4
    FROM TABLE_A A
    INNER JOIN VIEW_B B ON A.KEY_ID = B.PFK_KEY_ID          
    WHERE (B.FK_ID_XXX = 1)
    In table A make a TABLE ACCESS FULL.
    Then If I put:
    SELECT /*+ INDEX(A FIELD_A_TABLE_A_PK) */ A.Field_1, A.Field_2, A.Field_3, A.Field_4
    FROM TABLE_A A
    INNER JOIN VIEW_B B ON A.KEY_ID = B.PFK_KEY_ID          
    WHERE (B.FK_ID_XXX = 1)
    If I see the execution plan:
    In TABLE_A make a
    TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID
    INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (FIELD_A_TABLE_A_PK)
    It’s OK. I NEED IT (INDEX UNIQUE SCAN)
    Finally, If I put other tables and views in the query (I NEED IT)
    For example:
    SELECT /*+ INDEX(A FIELD_A_TABLE_A_PK) */ A.Field_1, A.Field_2, A.Field_3, A.Field_4
    FROM TABLE_A A
    INNER JOIN VIEW_B B ON A.KEY_ID = B.PFK_KEY_ID          
    INNER JOIN TABLE_C….
    LEFT JOIN VIEW_D….
    WHERE (B.FK_ID_XXX = 1)
    If I see the execution plan:
    In TABLE_A make a
    TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID
    INDEX FULL SCAN (FIELD_A_TABLE_A_PK)
    I need INDEX UNIQUE SCAN instead of INDEX FULL SCAN or TABLE ACCESS FULL.
    How can obtain it?
    What happens???
    Thanks!

    Notice the difference in cardinality between your two select statements:
    SELECT STATEMENT, GOAL = ALL_ROWS Cost=5 Cardinality=1
    SELECT STATEMENT, GOAL = ALL_ROWS Cost=10450 Cardinality=472161Apparently since the optimizer believed the first statement was going to return one row, it used an index. But in the second statement it believed it was going to return nearly the whole table (didn't you say it had around 500k rows?). Hence full table scan.

  • My Preview is open all my pics at time instead of open one by one. It occurs when I try to open any type of JPEG file. That's strange and I'm a new macbook user. I hope somebody can help me out. Thanks

    My Preview opens all my pics at time instead of open one by one. It occurs when I open any JPG FILE. What should I do to fix it? Thanks

    First use JPanel not Panel.
    Panel panels[]=new Panel[4];becomes
    JPanel panels[]=new JPanel[4];Then refactor your code so that you use arrays correctly:
    panels=new Panel();
    panels.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));becomes
    panels=new JPanel();
    panels[i].setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
    I did the above changes to your code and it worked fine.

  • PDF export with link to document defaulting to "Open a web link" instead of "Open a file"

    I have a MS Access database and I'm trying to export reports to PDF (I have Acrobat XI Pro) that include a hyperlink to another document on the same drive on my computer.  I have tested this with hyperlinked email addresses, and emails export fine to PDF and are still functional, opening a new email in Outlook.  The hyperlinks to documents work fine in MS Access, opening a Word, PDF, or other document when clicked.
    When I export to PDF, the links to documents say, "This document is trying to connect to: file:" and my filepath.  If I say "Allow," the link tries to open in my default web browser, which comes up blank.  I've tested this on other computers in our office too.  When I right-click the link, I have the option to "Open weblink as a new document" -- this opens the document successfully, but won't be very helpful or fast for our staff.  When I examine the link with Tools - Add or Edit Link, I see that the link's action defaulted to "Open a web link" when the PDF was created.  This seems like it should be "Open a file."  To see if "Open a file" would work in theory, I tried creating a test button in a blank PDF and made the "mouse up" action "Open a file" and linked to various documents on my computer.  Each time, the button does not react to being clicked at all, like nothing happened.
    I also tried making a basic Word doc with just the hyperlink to another document.  It works fine in Word, but, when saved as a PDF, the hyperlink does the same behavior-- tries to connect to the web instead of opening the file on the computer.
    I have a lot of experience building Acrobat PDF forms and working in Acrobat, and I'm almost certain I've created links that open another file on the computer in Acrobat before, but I'm out of ideas and an internet search isn't turning up much.  I welcome any suggestions for things to try.  Thank you!

    This is what I currently have, and it attempts to open in a web browser.  Do you know of a setting in Acrobat I might need to change, or any other solution to tell Acrobat to open the "file:" URL as a document, not try to start the web browser?

  • I reset and erased my iphone 4 and now I can`t reinstall it! After I choose a language, region. and wifi, it says Please, try again later or contact customer care

    I reset and erased my iphone 4 and now I can`t reinstall it! After I choose a language, region. and wifi, it says Please, try again later or contact customer care. I tried to do with iTunes, and iTunes even sees this iphone, but it`s like blank, there is nothing I can do in iTunes. It uploaded last software for this iPhone 4, but when it tries to do the reserve copy of iphone first, it shows a mistake. And ask to disconnect and connect the device again, which, obviously, doesn`t help.

    This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
    Is this the case...?
    If so...
    Then... Sorry... But...

  • I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app?

    I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

  • How do I change firefox to open a new window when I start it several times instead of opening a new tab when I want to go to a different location?

    I want to go to several different websites at the same time. I want to compare the information on each site. I do not want to open a tab, I want a whole new window. How do I change firefox so it will open a new window instead of opening a new tab and then requesting the site I want to go to?

    In Windows XP I am able to right click a link and get an option to open it as a new Firefox window
    *'''tear off tabs'''
    You will probably note tabs can be dragged along the tab toolbar, they also tear off. You can click a tab and drag it off the browser onto the Windows Desktop where it will open as a new window, or drag it on to another open browser window.
    An alternative is to click the tab and drag it down, again it will then open in a new Window.

  • While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

    While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

     Thanks for answering. The version is XI.0.10. I just did the update yesterday hoping that I could now properly edit a scanned pdf document. Yes, it's happening on most all scanned documents. I followed your steps & found the list of fonts used in the document & then attempted to edit. The same occurs. When I type in a correction, I get an error alert... "the original font (in this case Fd 5805) is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font Minion Pro in its place." 
    When I select the text & right click as you suggested, my only choices are cut, copy, delete or select all, no "edit text".
    I have no other options to choose another font. Thanks for any help you can direct my way.

  • How do I get my computer to start opening up files instead of opening a pop up window rather than the file?

    My computer has started opening up pop up windows that say, "Step 1: Select File, Information Gathered Successfully, Step 2: Click Show Information Button", instead of opening the file I click on. This informaion windown has generated another pop up window that suggests I visit the iTunes store for an app that will open the file. Twice I have purchased apps that the iTunes store said would open the file. Twice the apps have made no difference at all. The apps did not open the file. Even more frustrating than being sold apps that don't work is that the files I'm trying to open are textedit files created with the software on the very computer that is now refusing to open them.
    How do I get beyond the pop-ups and open the files I created?
    Is it possible to return the apps that iTunes said would work, but did not?

    Please post a screenshot that shows what you mean. Be careful not to include any private information.
