Email issues with "extended PDFs" for readers...

I have a Form that will be sent to among 3 employees by email...
2 of the 3 employees only have adobe reader on their desktops...this is why the form was saved in the "extended format"
the issue I have is when employee 1 emails the Form to employees 2 to fill out and sign
employee 2 can only save the changes by renaming the file because the original seems to be a read only now.
is this because of employee 1 applying their digital signature? which this gives them control over the form saved in the original "file name" by employee 1?
The same thing happens when employee 2 sends Form to employee 3
employee 2 had to save the file under a different name generated by them and now employee 3 can't save the changes under that file name because 'read only"...
they also have to change the file name in order to save the changes.
My resolution would be to fined a way to keep the Form editable until a check box is "checked" meaning that the Form has been completed and no further editing is allowed ( this is not a problem)
the digital signature are important they lock the section of the Form associated to the signature and doesn't allow anyone else to modify what they have entered.
any suggestion...

could I just create a JS that uses "this.FlattenPages()" on "mouse up" for the check box? will this work with a adobe reader?

I have an issue with some PDF documents some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying on iPhones, iPad 2s

Hi,
I have an issue with some PDF documents & some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying properly on iPhones, iPad 2s & new iPads?
PDF docs - areas of the doc only show as grey splotches regardles of viewer
MS Word Docs -
inserted graphics don't display at all,
tables & lists especially with borders are broken &
tables & lists missing the borders &
tables & lists missing the 1st 1-2 lines of the lists/tables.
This is replicated on iPhone 4s, iPhone 4Ss, iPad 2s, iPad new (x2)
It certainly happens in iOS 5.1.1 & iOS 5.1
We believe it all worked aok in iOS 5.0.1(?) & prior
There is no problems reading/seeing these PDF & Word docs on anything other than iDevices.
This is rather critical for us & if not quickly fixed/rectified will prevent us from further purchases of these devices
Rolling back to iOS 5.0.1 or prior I believe isn't possible because of the BaseBand update(?) & isn't much of an option because of the quite noticeable Battery/Charging/WiFi improvements in 5.1 & 5.1.1

Hi,
I logged a call with AppleCare & have since had explained why this occurs (some time ago)
I'll try to explain what was indicated to me.
iOS has a limited Font Set & this affects what PDFs can display. You need to use iOS supported fonts in your PDFs to see/read them properly
These supported fonts are indicated here => http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4980
Regards MS office docs, iOS doesn't have much of an API to work with MS Office documents at all so is stuck with 3rd Party Apps to try to do it.
Unfortunately Mail in/on iOS uses the API to attempt to open/use MS Office attachments unless you tell it to use an App to open the attachment.
I have had success opening & reading MS office docs now with CloudOn, but find it slow & very awkward to use.
Not too sure if this helps others, but at least it explains why this is occurring

Issue with Visibility Settings for Backgrounds and Layers

I am using Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.10 (Windows) and having an issue with visibility settings for layers and backgrounds. I am attempting to get backgrounds to appear while viewing in Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro but not be printed and so far have had no success.
When using a background the Appearance Options dialogue has "Show when printing" unchecked, but "Show when displaying on screen" is checked. This results in the background not showing on the screen, and the background will only appear once the box for "Show when printing" is checked. It looks like the option for printing is dictating whether or not the background is able to appear.
Using layers has not worked either. The background layer is set to "Never Prints", but will still show up when printed.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this and has a solution, or has any recommendations.
Thanks in advance.

Hi setrev2012,
How are you adding the backgroud?
The only way I can think to accomplish this is via a watermark.
The basics...
Open PDF in Acrobat. Choose Pages > Watermark > Add Watermark.
Select a jpg or PDF of your background and adjust scaling options as desired.
Then click the Appearance Options.. and uncheck the Show When Printing option.
In this image the PDF is a blank page with the word "Test" on it. The watermark is the stamp and impression (a stock photo jpg).
If you want a solid color background, just create a flat image of the background color for use as the watermark.
If you have already followed the steps and still facing the issue then please share the file with me at [email protected] so that i can have a look.
Regards,
Rave

Issue with opening .PDF files after recalling from Symantec Enterprise Vault

Good Morning,
I am having issues with opening PDF files that have been recalled from Symantec Enterprise Vault and some of the files are anywhere from 3-4 years old. Some files open, while others return the error: Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf because it is not a supported file type or might have been damaged. It is inconsistent as to which files it occurs with. I am not ready to believe that I have that many corrupt files out there. I am opening them on a Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 desktop. Adobe 10.1.7. I have already configured the registry setting for bValidateBytesBeforeHeader that I found in another article to no avail.
The files are on a network share, but I also tried copying them to my local desktop and still received the error.
I have seen other posts regarding this error, but do not see a definitive solution and am hoping that in recent days someone has come up with a solution.
Thank You
Brian Dougherty

Not supported file type can (but not always) mean the PDF was created with an old enough version of Acrobat, that it isn't comaptible with reader X or XI.
Might have been damaged is pretty cut and dried in its meaning and interpretation.
There's a known issue with Mac OS and Safari Browser "breaking" PDFs as they download, but it's not so common for Windows. Since these are files you already had, it would be even less applicable.
You can try downloading an older version of Reader to check if it's a compatibility issue, but you'd have to uninstall the latest to do it and it'd be a lot of bother if they still don't open. It would also mean they are "broken" and cannot be repaired, that I know of.

Automate save as reader extended pdf for commenting

Does anyone know a way to create an applet or droplet that will save a PDF as a reader-extended PDF for commenting?
I make lots of individual PDFs and each time I have to open the PDF and save as reader extended etc. Sometimes I forget.
Can this be done with Automator? Quickeys? An Acrobat Action? Applescript? I haven't figured it out yet but it sure would be helpful!

There is no Adobe supported means for automating the application of usage rights, apart from their LiveCycle Reader Extensions server-based product. This is a very intentional restriction.

I have an issue with disappearing option for 1920x1080 in Preferences / Displays.

Recently updated to 10.9 - have all updates installed - Mid 2010 iMac 21.5.
I have an issue with disappearing option for 1920x1080 in Preferences / Displays. - After overnight shutdown, my iMac woke up and the screen resolution of my 2nd was set at 800 x 600 - the display a Samsung S22B150 was previously working properly at 1920 x 1080. This option is no longer available in the system preferences - highest resolution available 1600 x 1200.
I use my mMac for Photography and use the second monitor for the interface, leaving the iMac screen as a full work area for the photos.
I have tried:
Power down Monitor & restart
Shutdown & restart
Shutdown & restart in Safe Boot Mode (options same in Prefs)

I am now at a loss, I guess I could try a recovery, and download/install Mavericks again, but do not wish to do this if I can help it.
I have searched the net to see if there are any Terminal commands to enable the resolution, but can find nothing.
Anyone out there have any ideas, please.

IPhone 6/iOS 8 email issues with wifi connection

Hi
I have just upgraded from an iPhone 4 (iOS 7) to an iPhone 6 (iOS 8) and am having an issue with my pop email account. I used my iPhone 4 backup to set up new iPhone, so all the settings were as they were in my old phone. I have two email accounts, one is an IMAP account and the other is a POP account (which is my main email), I have no problems connecting to the server and downloading emails when connected via 4G (its super fast), but when I am connected via wifi, the POP account takes ages to connect to the server and check for emails (stuck on checking for email). I can speed up the process by closing mail app completely and reopening, then it checks and downloads really quickly (IMAP account has no problems), but this is frankly a pain.
I have spent ages on the phone with Apple support, who have got me to delete my POP email account twice, reset network settings, reset the phone using on/off button and home button, all to no avail. They are intent on telling me it's my email service providers fault, but as I pointed out there is no issue on 4G and my old iPhone (using iOS 7) on wifi has no issues, so can't be email provider. I have also tried using Apple's wifi in store to rule out router issue and the problem happened there too.
Have now run out of suggestions and options. I'm not sure if it's the phone itself, either a hardware or software issue (Apple support think not). Someone told me that it could be the wifi on my phone blocking the connection to the server. I have an appointment booked at the genius brand they have suggested wiping the phone and setting up as a new phone to see if the problem occurs, but this seems a bit drastic and I would lose all messages etc. Any help would be appreciated.

I have solved the issue! I tried my pop account on other devices with iOS 8 and the same thing happened, so I deduced that the issue is a glitch in iOS 8 with wifi and pop accounts. I managed to get hold of the IMAP settings for my email provider and all seems to be well. Happy days!

Issue with opening pdf file from web browser

I have Acrobat Pro ver 6 and Adobe Reader 9.1 on a computer. when my user tries to open up a pdf from the web he is getting the following error message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a WEb Browser. Adbe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
What also happens is that Acrobat Pro ver 6 opens up and nothing is there.
I am not sure why he is getting that message since Reader 9.1 is installed.
Can any one shed some light on this for me.
This user needs to have Acrobat and Reader on his system. I understand that there are issues with having both.
Also he has it set up so that any PDF is opening using the Reader 9.1.
Thanks,

Your PC's default reader configuration for embedded PDFs has become confused, due to multiple Adobe PDF document solutions installed on one PC.
Solution 1:
Go to Start > Run
Type regedit and click OK.
Browse to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
Make sure that the correct Default data value is set for the path where Adobe Reader or Acrobat are installed.
The default installation values are:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
or
"C:\Program Files\adobe\acrobat 6.0\acrobat\Acrobat.exe" (not sure about this path. Check on your PC to be sure)
depending on whether Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat is installed.
Solution 2:
Configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application.
If you are using Firefox to browse the web, you can change this setting in Firefox by going to:
Tools > Options
Click on the "Applications" Tab.
The first item in the list should be "Adobe Acrobat Document". Under the Action list, click the drop down arrow and select the application you want to read PDFs within the web browser. Click OK, and you should be done.
If you're using Internet Explorer to view PDFs, try the below steps.
After you configure Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application, the browser starts the helper application in a separate window and displays PDF files within that window. Acrobat and Adobe Reader both include a preference that lets you specify Acrobat or Adobe Reader as the helper application.
To configure Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application:
Start Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
Choose Edit > Preferences.
Select Internet on the left.
Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.
Quit Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
The next time you select a link to a PDF file in the browser, a dialog box asks what you would like to do with the file. If you select Open It, the browser opens the PDF file in Acrobat or Adobe Reader (the helper application); if you select Save It To Disk, the browser saves the PDF file to your hard drive.

Issue with opening PDF files from the web Acrobat 8.1.4

Hello everyone
I just found out about this problem today, and it manifests in such a manner that when you try to open a PDF document on the web, it hangs for a while, and then the standard message about Adobe Acrobat not being able to open the document comes up, and after you OK away that you get the message that the program shuts down.
If I download the PDF itself and open it locally it works. Is there any known issue with updates recently that creates this problem?
The system is running on Windows 7 32-bits, and Adobe Acrobat is a part of the CS3 Master Collection.

Issue with SaveAs PDF using XSLFOP

Hi, We have been using SaveAs method to generate PDF files using XSLFOP technique successfully, however, recently we ran into an issue where a very large report (about 100+ pages) generated a PDF file that could not be opened. We get the following error when we try to open the PDF file. “There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.” We tried it again with lesser range of dates and the proper PDF file is generated. (Report was about 35 pages). So we think it has something to do with the large volume of data which is causing the SaveAs method to generate the corrupt PDF file. Any help will be much appreciated !! Note : In the same folder where we have the EXE,PBD and DLLs, we have two subfolders fop-0.20.5 and jre. Thanks, Chirag Vora

Hello Chirag,
We submitted this problem to engineering 10 years ago with PowerBuilder 9 !!!
It appears to be a problem with the FOP processor which needs a large amount of memory to complete the task. You can find similar issues with other tools than PowerBuilder:
The oXygen-user October 2003 Archive by thread
As a workaround, you can save the data in XSL-FO format within PowerBuilder, then use the fop.bat file in the \Shared\PowerBuilder\fop-0.20.4\ folder to convert it from outside PB.
This will still give you the memory error until you modify the batch file to increase the maximum heapsize for java.
In the fop.bat file change the java start command to : java -Xms64m -Xmx256m ...
The option -Xms definies the initial heapsize for the java engine and -Xmx the maximum heapsize.
We believe the default maximum heap is 64MB and this is what it is running into (or running out).
Setting it to 256MB with -Xmx and it was able to complete
HTH,
Jacob

Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

Hi Everyone,
I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
Many Thanks,
John

There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.
