Delete pages file

Trying to move pages file from my desktop to trash.  Get message "this file can't be moved to trash because it can't be deleted".  It is an old file & I don't even know how it got to my desktop.  It is junk & I want to get rid of it.  Help appreciated.

TRy restarting the computer with Shift pressed until you see a bar appearing. Log in and see if the file is there and if it can be moved to the Trash.

  • Delete Pages, file size, PDF Optimizer Clean Up

    Using Acrobat 9 Pro (for Windows, if that makes any difference).
    I have a 148 page PDF of a magazine, about 58 MB in size.
    I Deleted 40 pages of ads, leaving just the useful content.
    The file size is still about 58 MB.
    When I run Advanced -> PDF Optimizer,
    the file size goes down to about 47 MB.
    The Optimizer settings don't seem to matter.
    Even with just "Clean Up" checked, all its options UNchecked,
    and Compression set to "Leave Compression Unchanged"
    the file size is still reduced.
    I have tried several other PDF editors and tools,
    and none of them reduce the file size after deleting the 40 pages,
    even using their "optimize" or "compress" functions.
    Can someone explain why deleting pages does not reduce the file size,
    and what the Optimizer is doing (that the other tools don't do)
    to reduce the file size ?
    Thanks,

    in Adobe 9 Pro Windows, I found the best was:

  • How do I retrieve my deleted Pages files or get them from iCloud on iPad2

    Hi,
    This is actually two questions but they are kinda related.
    I have an iPad 2 with iOS 7.1.1
    Pages deleted all my documents when I opened it and it told me there was an update. I clicked the update button, but when I saw the update was 250 MB I thought I would wait to update. I returned to Pages and all my documents were gone.
    How do I get them back?
    If I go to the settings I can see several of my Pages documents (maybe all of them) are stored in my iCloud. That's great, but how do I get them back on my iPad 2 in my Pages App?
    All the Best

    If you started the update, you may have rendered the app useless until you finish the update. That's simply a guess o n my part, though. Are you able launch the app? If so, can you create a new document?
    Something else to consider ....I  have deleted the Pages app from my iPad several times in the past for troubleshooting purposes. When I deleted the app, the documents were also deleted from the device, but they still remained in iCloud as they should. When I reinstalled the app, all of my Page documents downloaded from iCloud onto my iPad again, which is the normal and expected behavior. If your files are still in iCloud, that might be worth a try.

  • Deleted pages file

    I had a document that I typed up here and it sat on my computer for 2 days. I closed the window and another window popped up saying "Delete" or "Cancel" or "Save". I hit delete because I thought I had saved it already as a Microsoft Word file and normally when I don't want to save it as pages, it asks the same thing. Apparently I didn't have it saved. So when you hit the delete button on that window (the newest version of pages), where does it delete it to?
    Thanks,
    Austin
    PLEASE HELP! It's a file for my Physics Class

    When you delete something in any any WP document it just goes away, as if it was never there. If you realize your mistake before you continue typing you can recover from the Edit function: Edit>Undo typing.

  • Deleted pages files from Mac

    Hello!
    Finally upgrading to Yosemite (10.10) I set up my iCloud drive to sync all my contents between my iPad (iOS 8.1) and my Mac. While I couldn't do so because Yosemite still wasn't available while iOS 8 was, I had used pages and created some documents. By setting up iCloud drive on my Mac these documents were deleted from it and apparently from iCloud too. How can I get them back??
    Thanks in advance

    If you are backing up your Mac using Time Machine, you can recover them from your Time Machine Backup.  To do so, open Finder and navigate to “~/Library/Mobile Documents/Pages/Pages” (without the quotes) from the Go>Go to Folder menu.  Then launch Time Machine, go back in time until you see your documents, then select them, click Restore and exit Time Machine.

  • I publish a 41mb newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separa

    I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
    I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
    I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
    What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • How to delete the files from server through OAF page

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement in which i am creating files on server through my CO code.
    Now once the page is rendered, i want to delete the files from the server.
    Just wondering how can we achieve this.
    Kindly advice!
    Thanks,
    Sachin

    Hi Sachin
    all the methods in the processRequest() are called during loading of the page.
    all the methods in the processFormRequest() are called during any action events on the page.
    So Use the method in processFormRequest() : write a method in
    that on which action you want to delete the file.
    regards

  • Delete pages in my .pdf file and save as another file?

    Just purchase the subscription to a year worth of converting files to word/excel.  However, the conversion isn't accurate and I only purchase this to enable me to delete pages in my pdf file that I don't want...

    Hi,
    To delete page(s) in PDF file:
    1. Open your PDF file in Acrobat
    2. Select "Tools" from right top corner of the document windows
    3. Select " Manipulate Pages"
    4. Select "Delete".
    You can download Acrobat XI Pro trial version from www.adobe.com

  • How to delete pages in a pdf file with mac OSX Mavericks?

    Indeed i don't have Pages options in my tools window... Is that normal for the mac version? Please it's urgent...

    Sorry, it was my fault. When I searched on the Internet, I was reading the Acrobat help pages, without knowing it, because in my research I wrote "how to delete pages in a pdf file with Adobe reader", i was just automatically redirected toward Acrobat help but i didn't notice.
    So no incorrect information exist in the Reader Help pages.

  • Making a PDF with LiveCycle then being able to edit pages, insert pages, delete pages, attach files to document, be readable in Adobe Reader etc.

    We have been working for some time with LiveCycle to creat a documents and have experienced a host of problems with the end product.
    1.  Images inserted into the LiveCycle PDF document often come up as "broken links" after editing the document and resaving it.
    2.  Documents will not display in Acrobat reader unless a digital signature is applied to them and the document is re-saved.
    3.  After making the document, we are unable to use Adobe Pro to insert pages, delete pages, or insert files into the document as attachments.
    The end state was to use the simplicity of LiveCycle to create a document and do most of the hard work, and then save it as a PDF document that could be easily edited with Adobe Pro.  It has proven difficult, to say the least, to figure out how to make this work.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    1- Thank you
    2- It only seems rational that if I make a form with LiveCycle that I should be able to view it with Adobe Reader or Adobe Pro.
    Making a form with LiveCycle to be distrubuted to personnel internally that have Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro and cannot open it without it having a digital signature field in it that has just recently been signed just doesn't make sense.  Nor does it seem to make sense to have to purchase 200 additional licenses just for LiveCycle so that people can open a PDF that was made with LiveCycle.  If I make it in LiveCycle and only people with LiveCycle can open it, what is the purpose of making it to begin with?
    3- This also totally sucks.  In a standard Adobe Doc I can at least attach documents to it?
    So, what, exactly then, is the purpose of LiveCycle if the only benefit it seems to provide is ease of creation, but the end product has way less functionality?
    And how do I go about contacting an Adobe rep on the phone in regards to this without getting "there is no support for this product, go to Adobe.com"
    We have millions of dollars of Adobe software and can't get support other than hunting and pecking in these forums?  Really?

  • I deleted a very important pages file from my iPad and I need it back

    I deleted a very important pages file from my iPad and I need it back pronto! I just updated my iPad without a computer and it had the file there. I need to know how to get back the file very quickly.
    thx in advance

    Thne unfortunately, your document is gone. You can restore lost or deleted documents from backups if you have backups - and as long as the backup contains the document - but if you did not copy the file to your computer - or backup the iPad, the document is gone.
    You really should start backup up your iPad. You can sign up for a free 5GB iCloud account right on the iPad and then you can use iCloud for backing up. You can do it right on the iPad.

  • How to refresh and redirect into same page after deleting a file

    Hi John,
    One more help I need. I implemented the brows and download file functionality in my application successfully. And I am interested to implement delete also like download. If user will click on download three options will come open, save, cancel in case of download. But like download I want to put delete link which will delete the corresponding file.
    I written the procedure in same fashion as download and compiled in my schema.
    The code is here:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE download_my_file_temp_delete (p_file IN NUMBER)
    AS
    BEGIN
    DELETE FROM file_subjects_temp
    WHERE ID = p_file;
    END download_my_file_temp_delete;
    And in
    Home>Application Builder>Application ID>my_page > Report Attributes>Column Attributes
    There I am entering
    Link text : Delete
    Target : URL
    URL : #OWNER#.download_my_file_temp_delete?p_file=#Delete#
    Where download_my_file_temp_delete is a procedure for deleting the file corresponding to ID .
    Here id alias is DELETE so I am passing #DELETE#.
    If I am click delete corresponding to any file its opening a blank page I seen URL is like
    http://abcd.com:portno/pls/workspace/owner.download_my_file_temp_delete?p_file=4031625747435433
    if I am clicking back and refreshing then getting file is deleted successfully.
    That means procedure is working but I want that after clicking on delete link corresponding to any file same page should appear with refresh then my problem will solved.
    Can u suggest me any approach.
    Thanks && Regards,
    Ravi

    [This is not John, hope that's ok!]
    This kind of thing is best done by rendering checkboxes next to each file in your report region;using apex_item.checkbox(1,file_id) and providing a Delete button that would fire a after-submit process that does
    for i in 1..htmldb_application.g_f01.count
    loop
    download_my_file_temp_delete(htmldb_application.g_f01(i));
    end loop;[And of course a same-page branch on the page]

  • How can I delete pages from a pdf file

    How can I delete pages from a pdf file

    Hi timk,
    None of the Acrobat.com online services allow you to edit a PDF file. But, in checking your account, I see that you purchased an Acrobat Standard subscription, and you can certainly use that to edit a PDF file.
    Have you downloaded and installed Acrobat Standard? It sounds to me as though you may be opening the PDF file in Adobe Reader, rather than Acrobat. (Reader doesn't allow you to edit PDF files.)
    If you haven't already, download and install Acrobat from https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat. Then, make sure that you're opening your PDF files in that rather than Reader, when you want to edit them.
    Please let us know how it goes!
    Best,
    Sara

  • Deleting Pages in a pdf file

    Someone emails me a document as a .pdf file. I save it in my documents as a .pdf. I need to delete a page in this file and can't find where the delete page (or extract page) is in the toolbar. I am using Adobe Reader v9.0. Where do I find it? Thanks in advance

    Janet,
    You cannot. Editing a pdf is reserved to the Commercial Acrobat product
    line.
