Editable PDF Type Not Showing Up on iPhone & iPad
I set up an editable pdf form for my client in Adobe Acrobat Pro. He is able to type in it and save it and able to see what he has typed, but when he sends it to someone that opens it on their iPad or iPhone they are not able to see what he has typed. Should it be saved a certain way for the iPad & iPhone?
Chances are the recipient is using a PDF application that does not process interactive PDF forms; for example, the Apple PDF Viewer does not process interactive PDF forms.
If the recipient installs the Mobile Adobe Reader, he/she should be able to view the interactive PDF forms that are sent to them.
Failing that, the sender can choose to flatten their forms prior to sending. This will remove the interactivity of the form, but will make the form content show up in PDF applications that do not process interactive PDF forms.
Hope this helps,
Darrell

Hi all,
The following is my code snippet in JSP for a project which i used to generate a PDF file. But the PDF does not show up . The Adobe loads and i get a pop-up saying
'Acrobat could not open 'Example[1].pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted.'
This is the code snippet i used:
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%
String s = new String("Hai this is PDF Sample");
byte file[] = s.getBytes();
try
BufferedInputStream inputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(file));
BufferedOutputStream outputStream = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=Example.pdf");
response.setContentType("application/pdf ; charset=iso-8859-1");
int bytes = 0;
byte buffer[] = new byte[1024];
while((bytes = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1)
outputStream.write(buffer,0,bytes);
inputStream.close();
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
}catch
(Exception e){}
%>
Can anyone please help me out.
Thanks in Advance.

My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.
My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.
I have the BIG DOG 16 gig iPhone and I am only limitted to 9 pages of APPS.
For what I PAID for this GREAT Phone, there should be NO LIMIT as to how many APPS. that I can download until and UNLESS my memory is FULL, which it is NOT even half full yet.
APPLE: Please change this LIMITATION, because there seems to be thousands of APPS. to choose from. Just as you have NO-LIMIT on the number of songs that I can download, I would like it to be the SAME for my APPS.
Thank you.This ***** badly

I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.
Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead? Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

Hi.. My internet and wifi are working on samsung phone and hp laptop but its not getting connected to iphone ipad, only skype is coming online rest all apps and safari show no internet connection. Got new linksys router WRT160NL , but situation same. Tried reboot, renew lease, forget network, reset network setting. Pls advice
Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.
Thank you. This solved my problem too.
But, one little thing to share:
"There's an option in settings for Playlists. It was set to Music only. Changed that to All then found the movie playlist under Movies by selecting Genre."
This is not to be done in iTunes in your computer; this is to be done at your apple TV under "setting". "audio video" "show playlist" "music only/all"
I am posting this here because I started chat mode with Apple support last night at midnight till 1:30, they didn't know what to do.
They called me back this morning at 10 am.
It's not 11:40 they finally know what I am talking about and showed me where to to find the "music only / all" toggle. My problem is now fixed;
all these time, they have in front of them a screen shot of your questions and answer but they don't know where to change it from music only to all.
So, I hope this will save the next victim a lot of time.
Again, thank you. -
When filtering by keyword and using "Edit In" with Photoshop, edited file does not show up in list
When I do an "edit in" using CS5 and save it, the edited file does not show up in my LR4 preview window.
Message title was edited by: Brett NThere are two distinct modes by which Edit In... may first open an image into PS: as a fully pre-converted rendered file; or as an on-the-fly converted image in memory.
(When LR opens a PS-edited image a second time into PS, using "Edit Original", the former option is always used.)
In the latter case, it is ACR which does this on-the-fly conversion, working from the original image (as imported into LR) plus your subsequent LR adjustment metadata. This means ACR compatibility with LR becomes an issue - as it is not, with the pre-rendered file option.
There is a useful clue to which mode is being used:
the title of the PS document window, in the case of the on-the-fly conversion, still shows the name of the Raw file (or whatever) that you started with in LR... no file has been saved as yet, to say any different. You can Save or Save as, wherever and under whatever name, and from now on LR will look there for your edited image. Or if you close unsaved, LR has no edited image to show at all.
the title of the PS document window in the pre-rendered case, is the name of a file already saved on disk and already showing in LR. If you then saved this elsewhere, you would merely make a duplicate which LR cannot know about - and if this duplicate is the one which contains your PS work, LR will accordingly not show that. It is busy showing the content of the specific file that was passed to PS.
So, if inside CS5 your document is called something like IMG23334.dng - you can save it wherever you like. If inside CS5 your document is called something like IMG23334-edit.tif - you will have to save your changes back to that exact same file, in order for them to be seen in LR. -
Every time I try to save my Indesign document as an Interactive PDF, the option of either saving it as Interactive PDF or PDF is not showing.
You export to PDF, not save.

Why are my photos on iPhone not showing up on the iPad?
photo stream is on both the iPad and iPhone but the pics on my iPhone are not showing up on the ipad
I'm not sure how true this is..... Then again I'm not sure I totally understand this whole cloud thing yet. But I have 742 photos on my photo stream on my iPhone and only 144 of them on my iPad. I turned off photo stream on the iPad and turned it back on and it loaded even less then the original 144 pics. I'm at a loss. They were all synced with my iPad until recently. And if this statement is true about syncing only the new ones since turning on photo stream then my iPad photo stream would have loaded zero pics. What happened?
