File Attacment in PDF opening in wrong application.

Using Adobe Acrobat 9.3.2 and Windows XP 5.1.2600. I also have file type association for text files set to MS Word 2003. I have a pdf with multiple text files attached and when you open the attachments it opens in notepad. However when I open a text file outside of a pdf it opens correctly in MS Word. Any Ideas as to what is going on?

Bump to the top, Still Looking for help?

Save as Adobe PDF opens the wrong installation of AA

Hi all,
I bought an Adobe CC membership and after a month I found out that my apps were expiring. I accidentally set CC on Dutch (native language) but I ordered the English version. No problem, deinstalled all the apps and reinstalled them in the English version. Everything seems to work, almost.
When I'm using MS word 2010 and I want to save my document as a PDF file (Save as Adobe PDF), it opens the dialog that I have zero days left and have to fill in my serial number, in Dutch!
I can only cancel this screen, since I don't have the Dutch version of CC. If I try again I get the following error in Word.
I deinstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI now about 5 times, but it is still not working. How can I point PDFmaker to the right Acrobat?

Hi Rave,
Thanks for the link. I tried them out but still no luck. When I press Save to PDF it opens the English version of Acrobat and this Dutch activation screen, after that I only get the alert and the activation screen. So I can save one pdf document and then I've to reinstall Acrobat. It's activated, but only the English version, somewhere on my pc there is still some leftover from the Dutch version.

Hello! I have the Acrobat XI test version installed, got the registration Mail and confirmed it.

I hope have explained the issue on the right way with my bad english. Do you have a solution for it?? Best regards, Marcus Wenk

yes, you are right. it is the adobe reader via exportPDF. but it should be the acrobat. it was written on the internetpage...

Hi arewers,
Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

You select the printer properties and set the appropriate page size (I think there is a place to set it in PDF Maker too, but not sure). In the printer, this is equivalent to putting the proper paper in the printer.

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences 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. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page 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 "Adobe" or “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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
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.

Interactive PDF, open file in new window.

Hello everyone,
I was unable to find this on the net or I could be using the wrong typed search. Created a successful interactive document. I attached a portfolio to this interactive document. I have 3 images. Two are hyperlinked to specific urls which work just fine. I have a sample button which opens the pdf. The only problem I have is that the pdf open in the current pdf window of the past file, so one has to reopen the original file again to access it. I could create a button on the portfolio webpage to go back to the original document, but that would be 20 buttons.
Is there a way for someone to click on the sample button, but open up a new window like you would for a webpage?
Right now the setup in the Buttons and Forms window:
Sample button
Type: button
Name: Sample
Event: On Release or Tap
Open File - Checked
Select File: current path
PDF Options
Description: Portfolio Samples
Printable - Checked.
That is pretty much it.

Not everything can be done in InDesign when it comes to interactivity and forms. I believe you have to use a JavaScript in Acrobat to get the file to open in a new window. I can't provide you a specific reference. Ask on the Acrobat forums.

Launching Microsoft Access from Internet Explorer to view a downloaded MDB file opens the wrong file (not a problem if I use Firefox)

When clicking on a link (in Internet Explorer 9) to download an Access MDB file and then choosing to open the file directly in Microsoft Access (2007) instead of saving it, the file is copied to Temporary Internet Files but Microsoft Access tries to open
a different file and displays an (Unrecognized database format) error.
When I click on the option to open the file, the MDB file is copied to Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 but instead of that file, Access tries to open a different (incorrect) file located in Temporary Internet Files\Content.MSO (e.g. in the above error
message, NativeView.do is an XML file containing an error message).
I don't see this problem with Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. When opening a Word file (without saving) the Word file is copied to Content.IE5 but an identical .tmp file is created in Content.MSO which when opened in Microsoft Word displayed the required file
correctly. The same happens for Excel files. PowerPoint appears to be handled a little differently (no .tmp file created in Content.MSO but the required file is still copied to Content.IE5) but the PPT file is still opened correctly in Microsoft PowerPoint.
I think the Content-Type "application/msaccess" is fine because Internet Explorer does launch Microsoft Access. It just tries to open the wrong file (or so I think). However, it looks like the file type is not being determined. Here is what I noticed
when trying to open different Microsoft Office files using Internet Explorer:
The last one is the MDB file. As you can see, only for this type of file, the "Type" (Microsoft Office Access 2007?) is not displayed in this Open/Save dialog box.
On Firefox, I don't see this problem. When I tried clicking on the link to the MDB file in Firefox, Microsoft Access was launched and the file was opened correctly. Is there something I can do so the MDB file is opened properly using IE? I can add/change headers
in the HTTP response that writes this file to the output stream (on disk) if that helps.
Thanks for your time!

Sounds like a problem symptom to be discussed in either an IE forum or an Access forum, not here. How did you come to post here? ForumsRedesign. That might be an on-topic issue for this forum. <eg>
Can you find your way to either of those other forums easily from here? Another on-topic question for here I think. ; )

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I am trying to download responses as an excel spreadsheet but get a message that Adobe cannot save the file. A suggested problem is that the file may be open in another application but I have nothing else open. Any suggestions?

InDesign cannot open a PDF natively. You can Place pages from the PDF as linked images, or you can purchase a commercial plugin from Recosoft or Markzware that will convert PDF to InDesign.

How I can open a file in format PDF

I need to open a file in format PDF from my application on Studio Creator.
I already tried this:
//code
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("gpdf file.pdf");
//code
where gpdf is a pdf viewer on Linux.
But it did nothing.
Is there any way to do this?
Can anyone help me, please!!!!?????
Thanks!!

Hi
Copy the pdf file to the resources directory of your web application. Drag a hyperlink component on to your page (say Page1.jsp) and change value of the hyperlink from http://www.sun.com/jscreator to resources/file.pdf
Run the application now and click on the hyperlink. Now the browser will open the pdf file.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
