Download a simple pdf???
Why do I get an error message "Adobe is open in another application"? No other apps open and all I want to do is download a pdf.? Pop up blocker is off. Running windows XP. Can anyone help me? Rocky2936
Hi Rocky2936,
Please check in the task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) under processes if you have any Acrobat process running. Just do the end task and then try to open the pdf.
Thanks
Kapil

I have tried a lot to find an app or some way in email to attach multiple of pdf files in one email. I could not find anything that sends multiple pdf file in one email and still keeping the file in simple pdf format for the recipient.
I am not aware of a way except for photos that allows you to select multiple files in an email. I even checked settings in the Adobe Reader app, and it does not show that ability.

I go to the USC e-journals, as I have done with Firefox for years. Now, when I find a journal article that I want and try to download it, nothing happens. I get a blank screen.
If I use Internet Explorer, I can download the article (PDF) and print and save it.
What do I need to do in Firefox to fix the problem. When I first uploaded the newest Firefox I did not have this problem.Hi Joe, some other users have reported that the Real Downloader is not working in Firefox 22. If you have updated it and it still doesn't work, you might consider using a different downloader. I don't have any personal recommendations on that, but you can check out the reviews on the add-ons site:

I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here

How do you download and open PDF files that come in the email?
I can NOT download or open PDF files. It prompts me to open in IBooks and then it's not there. I am so frustrated. PLEASE HELP!
Touch the attachement once to download it. Then touch it a second time, after it is downloaded ( watch the attachment icon) to open it in quick view. if you want to do something more than just view it, and if you want to save it, Touch and hold the downloaded attachment to get the 'open in' pop up, and any app that supports PDFs, like I books, or any of the other PDF ready apps.
If it is not downloaded yet, it will not be in I books. -
How do I delete something in "Extra", something I didn't put in! (on my desktop).
On my laptop the "PDF -download, by Nitro PDF software" doesn't figure and pdf files open normally and not seperatly in the mainframe of for example www.centrum-veurne.beGee, Pat, this is a real big help.
Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
Take Ownership of a File or Folder
The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
Thanks for the help. Have a great year. -
Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks
Try this:
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Empty the trash
Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs. -
Using Acrobat XI mac. Why can I not create a Word file from a PDF? Tried some remedies offered online, i.e. convert to PDF X4:2008 then try to convert to the Word file. No go. Advise.
Hello,
I have tried 3 PDFs: one with only text - created in Illustrator(CS5) and saved as a PDF default, and the second which was a complex form of text and scanned images created in QuarkXpress and saved as a PDF for print purposes. The third file was a simple PDF offered online to solve problem.
Each attempt was to create a Word file. Each received the same error message: Save as failed to process this document. No file was created.
Thank you in advance. -
How do I download a Adobe PDF file and get it converted to a Word document?

Download: you just download it as you would any other document.
Convert to Word: either using the ExportPDF online service, or Acrobat. -
Can I add a simple PDF to the forms site?
I am looking to add a simple pdf - with no form content to my website and use my forms account to do so. Is that possible? I tried importing a pdf, but it needs editable content. Thank you for any help.
Hello Nancy,
1. You can embed the form in your website as a widget.
Go to "Distribute" Tab -> then look out for script under "Embed Form".
2. You can also save your Formscentral form as a PDF form and then host the PDF separately and give its link in your website.
Regards,

I can download and open pdfs on my macbook air. Why can't I open a pdf from a webpage?

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. -
Why can I no longer download and read .pdf files
I have never had any problems downloading and reading .pdf files until I 'upgraded' the Adobe reader to version 11. Now all attempted downloads fail because "I don't have the necessary helper application or even C:\DOCUME~1\Will-o\LOCALS~1\Temp\Back Channel II - The Vietnam Betrayal - Chaps 1&2.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences. What in the world is going on and how do I fix it?
Under 'Tools - Applications - Adobe Acrobat Document, the I've selected 'Use Adobe Reader.' However since I also have Adobe Acrobat 8.3, I've tried substituting that for the Reader, but that doesn't work either. Please help.Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

The download function is not working....!! I don't use any add-ons like idm or dap,etc.... When I click on something like download a doc,pdf or any such file, the firefox just doesn't respond, and when I checked the download, i.e. cntrl+j, I don't find anything in the downloads... I am currently using Firefox 7.0.1....... Nothing is being downloaded, and I am forced to use IE8 for everything... I even tried re-installing, but doesn't help... I am using Windows 7
TonyE is correct the plugin version comes with Adobe's Reader X.
The failure in communication is two parted:
1. Reader X is not Acrobat (Mozilla Plugin Checker)
2. Acrobat is not mentioned in the Reader X download Page (Adobe)
therefore confused clients.
For readers '''CAUTION''' check the minimum requirements for Reader X.
Here: [http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html Adobe's Reader X requirements link]
Do not waste the time to download (80+MB and Site is Slow) if your machine does not have the resources to execute it. ie. '''aging''' Hardware
Unfortunately the Adobe DLM only checks the requirements after it has
downloaded BEFORE the install occurs.
This is '''very expensive''' for both the sender and receiver
It might be why they called it READER X and READER 9 will not sense an update...

Javascript to download a custom pdf
Hi all,
I am a pretty adept captivate user, but really have no javascript skill. I have a button in my project, that when pressed I want to download a custom pdf that pulls from a jpg image and two project variables. (Essentially I'm creating a certificate but I don't want to be limited to the certificate widget). Does anyone have same sample script for executing this that they could share?
Thanks!You can use a procedure like this to allow a download of your file stored as a bfile (in a directory):
PROCEDURE download_bfile (
file_in IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'test.txt',
directory_in IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'DATA_PUMP'
AS
lob_loc BFILE;
v_mime VARCHAR2 (48) DEFAULT 'application/txt';
v_length NUMBER;
BEGIN
lob_loc := BFILENAME (directory_in, file_in);
v_length := DBMS_LOB.getlength (lob_loc);
OWA_UTIL.mime_header (NVL (v_mime, 'application/octet'), FALSE);
HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || v_length);
HTP.p ( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'
|| SUBSTR (file_in, INSTR (file_in, '/') + 1)
|| '"'
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (lob_loc);
END download_bfile;To make this procedure working from apex, you can use approach similar to this one:
