  • Empty CreatorDate field in PDF files generated by Report 6i on Windows 7

    When generating a PDF file from Reports 6i on Windows 7, the CreatorDate in the PDF file header is empty.
    Even worse: its opening parenthesis "(" is not closed. See example here below.
    This generates several problems with Adobe Reader 10 like:
    - text searching does not work although you can select text and do a copy paste,
    - File/Properties does not work (nothing happens when selecting this menu item),
    - File/Save As PDF generates the Adobe Reader error "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (114)."
    We do not have this issue with Windows XP.
    Any idea?

  • When I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to.  Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty.  How can I get it to show each

    when I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to.  Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty.  How can I get it to show each page again?

    Hi chrismarks1,
    I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.

  • After update pdf files are empty

    Yesterday I got a notification of an update for Adobe reader on a mac, OSX 10.7.5  After installation all my pdf files appear empty.  Message is "could not be opened because it is empty".  How to I fix this?

    Hi dacyndaf,
    It is highly unlikely for the update to have caused this.
    Would it be possible to share the file with me so that I can have a look.
    Are these pdfs created by acrobat or any 3rd party application?

  • PDF File says its empty upon opening.

    One week ago, I am able to open this PDF file. All of a sudden, I can't open the same pdf file in my AirMail App and my hotmail using Safari on my Macbook. This has been happened two days ago, and I restarted my computer, redownload the application, restart the application...without avail. The error message is 'The file <file name> could not be opened because it is empty.' I am able to open the same pdf file from my iPhone5 using Mail app and Safari. Please help, I am stuck with this and I can't work!
    Thank you!

    Hi benwiggy,
    My apologies, was overseas the past week.
    Anyway, I cannot open the file in Apple's Preview. I can't open it in Adobe Reader as well. It is zero kb once downloaded. I tried to open it via hotmail in Safari and the same problem occurred.
    Funny thing is I am able to open it with my iPhone Mail. Help!
    I did not configure the Time Machine...

    Hi Melbus_SE,
    Are you downloading files from your Acrobat.com cloud storage? If so, what browser are you using, and are you on Mac OS or Windows? Has something changed on your system since you were able to download/open PDF files successfully? What version of Acrobat or Reader are you using to open these files?
    Sorry to ask so many questions, but your answers will help us get to the bottom of this issue.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,

  • When ever i try to open a PDF file while on a Firefox browser an endless supply of empty tabs keep poping up, to the poit that i have to restart the computer. What should i do?

    This is very annoying because the only way i can read PDF files is on a whole different computer, this makes doing school work very irritating.

    This link should help you fix this - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+keeps+opening+many+tabs+or+windows

  • PDF files are empty in Safari

    I just recently upgraded to Mavericks and was hoping that would resolve a long-time issue with Safari: Specifically, when I click on URL link to a PDF file, what I get is a black screen. If I right-click on the screen, I can download the "invisible" PDF file I am supposed to be seeing; so clearly the PDF is there, the link works, etc.  Only, Safari will not display the PDF.
    If I switch to Chrome and go to the same link, the PDF shows right up, no problem. And, yes, the easy answer is, use Chrome instead. But I noticed in putting in this question that it seems to be a recurring phenomenon for lots of users, with "PDF not displaying" issues going back at least as far as OSX 10.6. Curious if there is a simple fix.
    Thanks for any feedback,
    -gf

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 4
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 5
    Do as in Step 3 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.

  • When openning a PDF file, a new tab will open but it will be blank, it does not download or open any pdf files, this just started the last 3 days....!!!!

    Hi,
    I am on the verge of deleting Firefox from my computer as it has wasted hours of my time, and none of the online trouble-shooting answers are of any help.
    Until recently I could open PDF files in my browser window, and today its impossible to open any pdf file, it will not even download if I choose to download it.
    This issue has been going on and off for nearly a year, and I downloaded Nitro PDF add-on to solve it previously as the Adobe reader add-on didn't do anything. Today In the options menu of applications where I can select the program I want to open the PDF files with I can no longer find the NitroPDF reader as an option, so I choose the Adobe add-on and no matter how many re-starts it refuses to initiate any PDF files, all I get is a open and empty new tab.
    Internet explorer opens PDF files fine, so I know its not computer related.
    I am running Windows Vista Ultimate, Firefox Version 19.0.
    If there is a way of fixing this, please help because currently I am at the end of my patience.
    Regards,
    Emre

    Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
    I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
    If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
    Cheers again..

  • I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat.

    Dear everyone
    I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.
    I read a european commission document explaining that
    http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/sep_usermanual.pdf
    If Safari does not display pdf forms in the browser window, uninstall all older versions of Adobe Reader and download the most recent one. First close Safari and then install Reader. Launch Safari and you ought to be able to open the pdf files inside the Safari window. If you install Adobe Reader 10.1.x without first closing Safari, Safari will not display the pdf file inside its browser window until it is re-launched. For further help, please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-safari-plug-acrobat-x.html
    I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat
    but when I open a web page that I need to allow me to display and modify PDF files it is not working.
    I checked the following web page
    Troubleshoot Safari plug-in | Acrobat X, Reader X
    that is recommending the following:
    The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader.
    This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    but after the new installation with this folder is completely empty and I am still
    unable to open these pdf.
    Does anybody knows anything else I can do?
    Best regards

  • Adobe 8 - Unexpected Corrupt or incorrect file type warning when viewing a PDF file from the Web

    Hi,
    On downloading a PDF file from my web site using Adobe 8 on the client machine I expect the file to open automatically however I receive encounter the "File Download" dialog. It has the following warning message: "The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is either corrupted or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution, it is recommended that you cancel the download."
    This issue did not occur within previously tested versions of Adobe Reader (e.g. Version 5.1).
    On investigating the issue I discovered the factor that results in Adobe 8 failing to open the file automatically is the Content-Type = "application/pdf; Charset=utf-8". However, if I intercept the response and alter the Content-Type to contain only "application/pdf;" the issue on Adobe 8 does not occur.
    I have even tested when the Content-Type contains an empty Charset (i.e. "application/pdf; Charset=") but this issue still occurs. In addition setting the Charset to other encodings (e.g. "ISO-LATIN-7", "iso-8859-1") the issue occurs.
    QUESTION(s):
    1. Why is it necessary for Adobe 8 when opening PDF files from the web to expect no Charset within the Content-Type?
    2. If this was not an issue within previous versions of Adobe surly this is a bug?
    Since I cannot ensure that the Response's Content-Type does not contain a Charset at all please can someone suggest either a work-around or more importantly a solution to the issue?
    Please Note:-
    1. Within Adobe, Edit -> Preferences -> Internet option it's compulsory for our users to have "Display PDF in browser" ticked!
    2. We cannot prevent a Charset from being present within the Content-Type of the response sent to the client, hence this issue.
    Many Thanks in advance,
    Martin.

    Bill,
    This is exactly the same behavior I observed when I rendered a PDF stored in a database through a .NET page. If I chose to save it, it would open fine after the save, but if I chose to open it in the browser without saving it, I would get the error.
    The problem was not with the PDF or Acrobat. It was with the way I was delivering the PDF. Putting the following code before my binarywrite fixed the issue completely:
    Response.ClearHeaders()
    Response.ClearContent()
    Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + saveFilename)
    where saveFileName is the name you want to give the PDF.
    You can use 'inline' instead of 'attachment' above if you just want the PDF to open (no option to save first). You can also use 'pdf' instead of 'octet-stream' (not sure the difference).
    The trouble seems to be that .NET puts some info in the header and/or content by default prior to anything your code says to write. If you don't clear this, IE has an issue with it. Other browsers seem to ignore it.
    Bottomline is that this is an issue the website programmer needs to fix and is not something the user can fix by changing some setting(s).
    I hope this helps.

  • How to remove the extra space in the output pdf file?

    Hi All
    In our RTF layout template we have both static content and dynamic content.
    In RTF template we have used many if-else,choose,For each loops.
    On the account of that,In the output pdf file, we are getting lot of empty space in the place of that coding(if-else,choose,For each loops).
    Is there anyway to reduce the space in the output pdf file?
    Please suggest some ideas.
    Thanks in Advance.

    White space is NOT your friend!
    Make sure you don't have any unwanted whitespace between commands and especially tagged on the end of lines. Chain your commands together with no whitespace and let them wrap, do not enter carriage returns.
    Cheers,
    Dave
