Embedded pdf file in MS Excel cannot be open in Surface RT.

Hi,
I have a problem opening the embedded pdf file in my MS Excel in my Surface RT.
When I clicked on the pdf file, it shows "Cannot start the source application for this object".
I have the Adobe Reader Touch installed in my Surface RT.
Does anyone face the same problem? Any solution for the issue?
Thanks!

Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with Modern UI) does not support embedded PDF files.
Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI) does support it.  Unfortunately, Adobe Reader XI is not compatible with the Windows RT operating system. Hence, you are not able to install and run Adobe Reader XI on Surface RT.
I tried other PDF viewers (that are Windows Store apps), such as Microsoft Reader, Foxit Mobile PDF for Win8, on my Surface RT by changing the default PDF application.  But none of them opened embedded PDF files successfully.
It looks like your only choice is to view those Microsoft Excel/Word files with embedded PDF on your desktop machine, laptop or other devices with Intel-based processors.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Embedded PDF files do not show in Internet Explorer 11

    Hi,
    We have several machines that cannot show embedded pdf files in Internet Explorer 11 with Adobe Reader as default pdf reader.
    Example from one pc:
    OS: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 – all updates applied.
    IE 11 version: 11.0.9600.17239.
    Update Versions: 11.0.11 (KB2976627).
    Adobe Reader: 11.0.08 (no further updates available).
    As test example we have used: http://acroeng.adobe.com/Test_Files/browser_tests/embedded/embed2.html
    We only get a blank page with two placeholders with a small black square with a white cross in each.
    If we install Foxit Reader on the same pc, and sets it as default reader, everything works.
    What do we do to solve the Adobe Reader problem?

    Hi Pat - thanks for your reply.
    We have already tried the TabProcGrowth registry change. It doesn't work. As mentioned, we use IE 11 on Windows 7, and not IE 10 as the article from Microsoft specifies.
    As shown in the images above, the registry is set to 1 and the PDF's still don't show up embedded in the browser.
    Any other suggestions? Anyone?

  • When I try to open an embedded PDF file I get an error "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.exe.

    When I try to open an embedded PDF file (Word doc) I get an error "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.exe. That program is either not installed on your computer, or is corrupt..."  I've tried  about everything from unchecking
    protected mode at startup to removing & reinstalling Adobe.  Nothing seems to fix this issue.  Any other ideas?
    This is happening on Adobe reader 9, 10 & 11 with MS Word 2010 & 2013.  I've uninstalled, cleaned & reinstalled Reader 9, 10 & 11, as well as Acrobat 10 Pro & 11 Standard.  Removed "Protected mode at startup, and changed
    the default program for viewing from reader to Acrobat.  This will not go away.  It is affecting production at our company.

    " Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder" . i can't find open containing folder in profile directory. it does give me the option to open the places.sqlite file using graphic converter. when i try that, graphic converter gives me a window saying that it can't be opened because it is corrupted or is not a file type supported by graphic converter.
    i appreciate your help with a workaround to get the old bookmarks. that works. however, the problem has morphed from that concern to why adobe reader [the default app.] won't open firefox .sqlite files. is the problem in adobe reader or firefox? also, how can i tell if the places.sqlite file is corrupt?
    i'm getting in over my head here and do appreciate your help.

  • Cannot "print" a window as pdf then read it in Adobe Reader; Adobe says the file is damaged and cannot be opened.

    Running Firefox 4.0 on an Intel Mac OS 10.5.8. Same problem with Firefox 3.6.16. You can save a Firefox window as a pdf file by using the File dropdown menu and selecting Print. Under Print, you can select PDF, then Save as PDF or Save as Adobe PDF. Firefox will save the file. If you try to open the file you get an error message that the file is damaged and cannot be opened. I did not have this problem in Safari; I followed the same procedures and the pdf file opened fine in Adobe Reader. Why is Reader rejecting the pdf file produced by Firefox when it did not reject the pdf file produce by Safari?

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • Acrobat 9.0 Standard. Setting PDF file password from Excel VBA

    Acrobat 9.0 Standard. Setting PDF file password from Excel VBA
    Hi: I am trying to find a call to set the password of a PDF file that I am creating from Excel Workbook using a VBA call.
    I basically have this Excel VBA code that works fine and creates a file.
                pBook.PrintOut Copies:=1, preview:=False, ActivePrinter:="Adobe PDF", _
                               PrintToFile:=True, collate:=True, PrToFileName:=PSFileName
                ' Convert the postscript file to .pdf
                Dim myPDF As PdfDistiller
                Set myPDF = New PdfDistiller     
                myPDF.FileToPDF PSFileName, "", ""
    BUT, I need to set the password on this PDF file and do not see an option to do so.
    Can you provide a solution for this situation? Appreciate your response in advance.
    Thanks.

    There is no way to set password programmatically using any other dll or any other kit?
    I am creating a bunch of PDF files for users programmatically but then they have to go in and set password themselves? This is very inconvenient for users.

  • Embedded pdf files will not open

    Dell Laptop Windows XP up to date, Firefox 4.0, Adobe Reader 10.0.1
    Since updating to Firefox 4.0 certain embedded pdf files will not open forcing me to use my Internet Explorer browser to access these files. Tried all of the FAQ suggestions with no relief.
    NOTE: I can open previously opened files (Firefox 3.___) but not a new one.

    Thank you for the response. I insereted several .pdf files into my MS Word document where they show as Acobat icons. When in MS Word, I am able to double-click on the icons and the files open in Acrobat. I then converted the MS Word document to a .pdf. These icons now only show as pictures and do not open the original inserted .pdf documents.

  • Links to embedded pdf files not working in iOS reader

    I have created a pdf document that links to a variety of embedded pdf files.
    When I open this file in the iOS reader on my iPad 3, the links are not active. All of the embedded files are listed in the attachments list, but the links themselves do not launch the attachments.
    Please help!
    Thank you

    We only support internal and http links in the current reader,not including links to attachments. However, PDF attachments should be open-able using the attachments button (bottom right). It should also work for password protected documents. If it does not, please share a sample file with us at [email protected] so we can investigate.
    Thanks!

    You already posted this five times; and you already have a conversation with Adobe staff going on in the ExportPDF forum.

  • Firefox 4.0 support for printing embedded PDF files in iFrames via JavaScript

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 4.0 and can no longer print embedded PDF documents contained in an iFrame.
    My company's web application has several pages which load PDF files from a Servlet into an iFrame. The pages in question all have "Print" buttons which when clicked executes a JavaScript function to obtain reference to the iframe containing the PDF, place it into focus() (e.g., frames['pdfdoc'].focus();), and invoke print() (e.g., frames['pdfdoc'].print();). There are no errors, or exceptions caught when the JavaScript function is invoked, but the "Print" button is no longer operational.
    Does Firefox 4.0 no longer support iFrames? The issue goes away if I revert back to ver 3.6.16

    I have same issue for printing embedded PDF files in iFrames via JavaScript in Firefox 5.0.
    In previous versions it was working fine. But not in Firefox 4.0/5.0.
    Is there any solution for this problem?

  • Embedded PDF files in PPTX file: how do I extract them?

    Hi everyone,
    I have PowerPoint files (.pptx) that include embedded PDF files within them. They appear on Windows PowerPoint as clickable icons that open the PDF in Acrobat or some other PDF reader. In Keynote, however, the same icons do nothing, as I assume that Keynote does not support embedded PDFs. I really need access to those PDFs for work, and I don't have access to PowerPoint here. Is there any way that these files can be accessed by Keynote?
    -Thanks, John

    is this windows Powerpoint or Mac Powerpoint?
    If it is a windows powerpoint, then they are individual OLE Objects, not a single embedded PDF file.
    If its a Mac Powerpoint, my knowledge is a bit outdated as I dont use the Mac version these days to comment with certainty, but right click > show package contents and if there is an embedded PPt file it will be listed in the package comtents.
    Please report back how you get on.

  • I have tried to vonvert a PDF file to an excell file, but it appears to still be a PDF.

    If you have a mac, when you Sync your iphone, it will automaticly Sync your contacts to Adress book on the Mac. If this is not the case, you can take a look in iCloud, maybe you have backed them up there.
    This is not a problem caused by iOS6, but by iCloud... it has happend to alot of people, its due to pressing the wrong OK or CANCEL button at a certain pop-up.
    Good luck

  • It seems like Illustrator may not consistantly be updating the embedded pdf file when we re-save..........

    It seems like Illustrator may not consistently be updating the embedded pdf file when re-saving, even if the embedded illustrator file does. We are seeing a number of issues which seem to suggest this is going on..... I have a file I might be able to share with adobe's developers to really look at this problem. In short this file does not have a client change when viewed in reader or output through Photoshop image processor to generate raster copies, yet when we open the file we see the client changes. I would expect this to be a huge issue..... I have told my team to perform a save-as from now on to avoid what I think is going on-it seems to work.....
    We are using Illustrator  CS5.5 (15.1.0)

    Hi,
    I think your pdf file is probably damaged. There is a tool called Advanced PDF Repair. I have used it to repair many corrupt PDF files successfully. Its homepage is http://www.datanumen.com/apdfr/  Maybe you can have a try.
