  • How to delete pdf files in iBooks on mac?

    Accidently, I added hundreds of pdf files from my dropbox into iBooks.
    I manually tried to delete pdf files, and I found that some of them were deleted, but the rest of them haven't been deleted.
    I tried and tried, but failed.
    I couldn't even open the pdf files at all.
    I accessed the "library folder >>> ..... >>> ibooks" and deleted all the files their, but still the "ghost" pdf files are shown in iBooks.
    Any idea?
    Thanks!!

    I've not long worked out how to do basic things on my iMac but have had some coaching on other forums, as it goes this happened to me this morning.
    Inadvertently, I managed to get all pdfs into ibooks and faced similar "delete" problem, couldn't drag the files out of ibooks either: Accidentally I found all ibooks info in a library through finder, took a while but right clicking "move to trash"  got rid of them but not from pages/documents!
    Re-opening ibooks initially showed the pdfs still in place, except after double clicking one a message appeared telling me the file could not be opened, then immediately the remaining books were shuffled and pdfs disappeared - still in documents though, and able to open.
    Hope this helps, there may well be an easier way...

  • Fix for android "can't delete PDF files"

    4/2013 fix for Android Adobe reader complaint: "can't find delete area of adobe". Answer: you have wrong version installed. Fix: Go to "applications manage all" and the only option for your reader, on your android, is to unistall latest updates. After you unistall latest updates, you'll now have the option to download new updates and so now do that! You now should have downloaded and installed at least the new update 10.5.2 which now you still have all your old PDF's on your phone, and also the the new version, which looks just like all those youtube videos on how to delete files from your documents folder. Hope this helps all those like myself who couldn't delete PDF files and only had the option to "view" or "help".

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Delete PDF file from a folder

    Hi!
    please help me this is urgent..
    i try to delete pdf file from my local pc how to do that ??
    can some one help me i need it by today please help me ..
    thanks to all of you...

    First you open a File to the specified file, and then you call delete(). Easy
    File file = new File("path/filename");
    file.delete();Of course if you want to make your application cross-platform you will need to build a correct path somehow. Check out the static attributes of the File class to help you (fx. File.separator).

  • Cannot delete .PDF files from a shared folder.

    Hello,
    I am having issues with deleting/renaming PDF files!
    Permissions is not an issue as even logged in as the Network Administrator of the Domain, I still can't delete the file.
    The error message I'm recieving is:  cannot delete xxxx.pdf It is being used by another person or program.  Close any programs that might be using this file and try again.
    There are only 1 or 2 users that would have access to the files and neither of them are using them.  I can also reset the security permissions for the file and take ownership, but even after doing these things it doesn't make a difference?
    I've tried various unlocking tools (Unlocker) and none of them report that the file is open or that there are any locks on them.  This only happens with PDF files. If I reboot the sever the problem will go away, but this server needs to be 99.999% of the
    time!
    Help please!

    Hi,
    Windows is somehow accessing Thumbs.db during the time of the folder move/delete attempt.  Please go into Folder options > View > Always show icons, never thumbnails to check if you can delete .PDF files.
    For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
    Network folders - cannot move/delete even though not in use

    Hi... I would like to purchase a Tablet Sony Xperia Z 2 10.1 (the last one of the Z series) and I was told that Adobe does not support Sony anymore.... I need to be able to open and read Adobe PDF files and I would like to know if this tablet can still use Flash Player...
    Is there anyo who can help me with this? I asked in the shop and I was told "yes of course" , but when I contacted Sony directly I was advised to check with Adobe as apparently in the recent months Adobe and Sony haven't been getting along anymore...

    You may be mixing up two entirely different Adobe products.
    1. Adobe Flash Player. Needed to view web pages designed with Flash. Not needed to view PDF files. Not available for Android (not just Sony).
    2. Adobe Reader. Reads PDF files. However, the Android can also read most PDF files without needing Adobe Reader.

  • Can I delete all files and users (including admin account) without re-installing SL?

    I have a 1st generation Macbook Air, running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  Just bought myself a new MBA, want to sell the old one (privately, not soliciting here).
    The original install disks were Leopard.  I bought a family pack SL and upgraded the MBA at that point.  Earlier this year I sold my old Mac Mini (when I upgraded) and included the SL install disks with that sale (stupid of me).
    Now I want to sell the old MBA.  Ideally, I'd have a clean install on SL on it, minus all previous files and accounts.  I've done that before when selling old computers, reformatted / erased the HD, then reinstalled the OS.  But I don't have the SL disk anymore, and I don't really want to pay for it just to prep this notebook for sale.
    AFAICT, my options are:
    wipe the HD and reinstall Leopard (the only OSX disks I have).  Whoever buys it from me would need to upgrade to SL themselves, and from there to Lion if they want.
    somehow try to delete all files and users without touching the current install of SL.  I'm not terribly worried about security of what little information is on the MBA (nothing important to me), so I don't mind trashing files and then emptying trash instead of wiping the HD block by block. 
    Any ideas for how to do #2?  I can trash all files/folders under /user, uninstall all applications and delete their folders from Library, uninstall all browsers except Safari and wipe the history from that...
    Is there other stuff I should be deleting?  plist files, maybe?  I'm leery of messing around too much and disrupting the install of the underlying OS.
    Can I also delete the admin account (or rename it "admin" with a generic default password?)?
    Any other suggestions?  Thanks.

    Trashing files you have created is relatively easy. Getting rid of an account is a bit harder. Trashing the .plist files, etc., that may contain personal info is a lot harder, and there is always the risk that you will miss something.
    Best, and easiest, and customary, is to do option #1 - wipe the drive and re-install the original OS from the original disk set. The receiver of the machine can then decide which OS they want to upgrade it to, and purchse accordingly.
    The original disk set for that machine should be included with it when it is sold.

  • How to delete .pdf file after viewing in SAP

    Hi,
    I've a program to show a pdf file within a SAP window using the open document method form the class cl_gui_pdfviewer. Now I want to delete the pdf file once I choose the back button or exit the program. How can I do that.
    In the PAI for the screen showing the pdf file, I have a case statement to perform the following
      When 'EXIT'
         call method my_pdf_viewer->close_document.
            .....    <--- some coding to try deleting the pdf file
         leave program.
    endcase.
    It seems that the pdf file is still in use by the program and cannot be deleted before leaving the program. Please help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Francis

    Hi All,
    I have had this issue and have finally resolved it.  Here's how:
    you need to destroy your custom container and html viewer control AND flush the front end cache.  This releases the lock on the file and lets you then delete it.
    Here's an example code:
    When 'EXIT'
    call method my_pdf_viewer->close_document.
      CALL METHOD my_pdf_viewer->FREE
        EXCEPTIONS
          CNTL_ERROR        = 1
          CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 2
          others            = 3
      IF SY-SUBRC is initial.
        free my_pdf_viewer.
      ENDIF.
    this is the custom control parent container that contains the html control
      CALL METHOD MY_CONTAINER->FREE
         EXCEPTIONS
           CNTL_ERROR        = 1
           CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 2
           others            = 3
      IF SY-SUBRC is initial.
        free my_container.
      ENDIF.
      CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>dispatch.
      CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>flush
            EXCEPTIONS CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 1
            CNTL_ERROR = 2.
    ... <---- Delete PDF file (Delete Dataset xxxxxx.pdf)
    leave program.
    endcase.
    The other issue brought up is probably a permission issue -- trying to read the file from the presentation server versus a mapped drive that the SAP backend can access.  I read pdf files from a shared drive that the SAP backend can read/write to and it picks it up and displays just fine.
    Cheers,
    Matt

  • Deleting PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Standard XI

    I can't delete PDF files I created myself. I get the error message I don't have access to edit, see snapshot above. I am the administrator of my own laptop. Browsing this forum helps me to locate the same query as mine but no exact answers/steps of how to bloody delete the damn files. *sorry, bit annoyed of the run-around links & not found pages* Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    I want to just delete closed PDF files. And I know how to delete using Del button or Right Click > Delete. The problem is I get error message saying the file I want to delete, can't be deleted.
    I tried a number of combinations with Preview enabled & disabled, but still won't let me delete the files. I haven't tried exiting/closing Acrobat AFTER disabling Preview THEN deleting the PDF files, will try this. But if this is how I'm supposed to delete files in Adobe XI from now on, come on, seriously?! I work with a lot of PDF files. I shouldn't have to close down the application (Acrobat) just to delete the closed PDF files using my File Explorer view. It's like having to exit Word each time I want to delete closed .docx files.
    Will try & advise.

  • Some PDF files and other emails do not display the whole page. Is there a way to change that?

    Some PDF files and other emails do not display the whole page. Is there a way to change that?

    If an app does not behave as expected, try closing the app completely and reboot the iPad. It appears as though you have the original iPad. It helps if you list your iPad model and the iOS that you are running.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How can I copy part of a larger PDF file and create a smaller one?

    How can I copy part of a larger PDF file and create a smaller one?

    Hi,
    Copy the content of PDF file in Adobe Reader and paset it to MS Word then create PDF file from the Word file.
    This may not work for all PDF files as some PDF files are not created correctly or some content cannot be copied.
    Acrobat XI Pro has features to extract/delete/crop pages in PDF files and you can download it from www.adobe.com(Trial version- 30 days free). Or you can upgrade your subscription to Acrobat Plus and see more information at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html

    You need to connect the Pre to your desktop to delete PDF files...at least for now.  This has been previously covered in the thread linked below (and others):

    Hello Anubha,
    I am using the Adobe annual licence for Adobe PDF pack. I wanted to be able to edit a PDF file and when I selected this function it said I needed to update to Adobe Pro – and then it would not allow mw to update. Is there an additional cost? And if so how much is it and how do I go about updating so I can use this functionality.
    Kind regards,
    Lindsay
