Firefox 19.0 pdf viewer ignores pdf encryption - how do I get it to honor the encryption?
I encrypted a pdf with Adobe Acrobat so that the document's text couldn't be copied. However with the new Firefox pdf reader, the reader completely ignores this encryption so that the document's text can be copied.
I can confirm that problem: http://www.jeffersonscher.com/forumshots/no-copy.pdf
I guess the "security" offered by this feature is not very good if it's up to the viewer to honor it!
You might want to file a "bug" for this (you could do that on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi -- that's a new registration, separate from this forum). If you do, please note the number here for reference.

RH11 - Cuts off tables when I generate review PDFs. How do I get it to include the entire table?
We just upgraded from RH9 to Rh11. I'm using the Create PDF for Review... option on the Review menu. I have several two column tables in the topic I'm sending for review. The PDF cuts off half of the second column in the tables. We didn't have this issue with RH9. Has anyone else had this problem with the PDF review feature in RH11? Can you tell me why it's doing this & how to fix it?
ThanksHi Peter and everyone else.
I started using RH 11 recently, and I am experiencing the same issue as CathyR-Fico reported: when generating the PDF output, RH keeps cropping some of my tables.
NOTE: some of my table cells contain long non-breakable text strings such as TimeoutInsightServerUpDisconnectedCheck. Can't avoid that.
I looked into the table properties and ensured that my table width is 100%, and adjusted the individual column width % to make sure that the total does not exceed 100%, but my tables are still cropped in PDF.
Here is a passage from the RH 11 User Guide, Create a PDF for review section: "Tables, images, and other elements that do not fit in a page are cropped." I keep checking my HTML preview now and then - all of my tables fit into the HTML help window. But the PDF output looks otherwise:( I tried the AutoFit feature as well - won't help:(
My question is: Is there any other way to ensure that my tables fit into any output page, be it PDF, Word or HTML?
Thanks! -
how do i get it to print the whole article? i don't seem to have a problem printing from my old windows laptop

when I clicked on your link and hit print, all pages were there!
That suggests there's no problem with Safari or Quartz, the PDF rendering engine used by Safari, Preview, and other Mac applications.
When I'm in the database and have the article open that I want to print, I click on the "full text in pdf" link and it opens in another safari window.
Does the PDF in this other Safari window have all the pages? If yes, why don't you print from this window?
It's very difficult to tell what might be going on if you don't give very specific details.
For instance, in many reference databases, full-text articles are not free. You have to pay to view them, either article by article, or by subscription. Your school may have such a subscription, but, if it does, you probably need to access the database through the portal, web site, or facility provided by your school (your school's librarian should be able to help you with that). If you don't, the database has no way of knowing you have a right to view the full text, and may give you just a preview or the article's first page.
Another possibility is that the database provides full-text PDFs in a format not compatible with Quartz, which may be able to render only the first page. But, in such a case, I'd expect Safari to print blank pages. If that's the case, you need to save the PDF on your hard disk and open it with Adobe Reader (Preview wouldn't work).
There are other possibilities, but these two seem to me the most likely.
Would I have to save it in preview first
You should save the PDF on your hard disk from Safari. (I think you should do this anyway, just in case you need to refer to the article again later.) Instead of just clicking the "'full text in pdf' link", press and hold Control, then click. This should give you a contextual menu; if the link points to a PDF file, you should see the commans "Save Linked File to 'Downloads'" and "Save Linked File As…". Use either, save the file, then, in Finder, double-click on it. Preview should open it.
It is possible that the link is not to a PDF file, but to a script which fetches that PDF file for you. In that case, it's pointless to download it. Click on it, and then, if the PDF viewing window opens in Safari, move the cursor towards the centre of the bottom of the window. A bar with commands should appear; one of them will download the file to your Downloads folder. -

I have adobe CS 5.1 and recently (after an update) it is giving me an error (Could not save...because of a program error) every time I try to save my work as a PDF> Help how can I get this resolved??
Run the cleaner, reinstall.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
And don't bother with running any updates unless you really need them or they fix a critical issue relevant to your workflow.

After updating iBooks on my iPad all my PDFs disappeared how do I get them back? I reinstalled the app again and they showed up and thn they disappeared, what is going on?
By reinstalling do you mean that you deleted the app and redownloaded it ? Deleting an app will remove the app and its contents. Do you have copies of the PDFs in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library so that you can sync them back ?

After a restart, all of my mail subfolders are gone from the side view pane. I can pull them down individually from the 'inbox' drop down menu. How do I get them back into the sidebar so I can sort mail out of the inbox?
No anti virus software running as far as I am aware, as in I didn't launch any before reinstating the search email function.
I was running a folder repair function on my inbox (which seemed to complete successfully for the emails in the inbox) when I noticed the majority of the mail folders had disappeared. -
My Firefox menu button has disappeared. Why? How can I get it back? Without it I don't know how to get to my FTP. I never did anything to make this happen.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden. -
I have customized my Firefox toolbar several times. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it each time. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?
It has occurred with Firefox 4.0.1 and 5.0see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Take a picture of your toolbars so you can easily reconstruct them from the default after solving the the problem.
If it happens to you it will probably happen again in the future so you might want to keep some copies of your modified localstore.rdf file so you can delete the bad one and rename one of the replacements in waiting. Saving, copying and renaming must be done with Firefox down, of course. -

Using Windows 7 Professional and Firefox Browser 34.0. I reset my browser to speed it up and got everything that I use but my Adobe X PDF button. The plug-in Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10.32 is there, but there is no way to get the button. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can get my button back? I tried the PDF add-ins from the add-ins page, but they are not what I am looking for. With the button I had, I was able to make PDF's of the webpage I was on and add to the PDF from a drop-down menu.
You don't say what OS version you have. Upgrading my 2.2G C2D MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard from 10.5 was the biggest speed boost it's had. US$29 well-spent! Part of that was the effect of a new (or fresh install of an older) OS. You can find a lot of info on how to keep much of the new-install "freshness" in performance in this list of OSX articles:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
Focus on articles with "maintain" or "maintenance" in the titles. Also look for articles there dealing with caches. A 2G cache file can slow things down and indicates your computer needs some maintenance that you can do without seeking professional help.
As for RAM, advising you to add RAM is hard without knowing your MBP exact model. The first C2Ds could "hold" 4 GB but only addressed 3.2G. The second generation of the C2D "officially" accepted and addressed 4GB of RAM but, with RAM modules developed subsequent to Apple engraving the specs in stone, can actually use a total of 6GB. Those models both have silver keys. The later Unibodies can handle even more.
So....do "About this Mac..." from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More info..." button. That launches System Profiler. The first Profiler screen will very precisely ID your MBP:
The second line is "Machine Identifier." If that code is "MacBookPro2,1," 3G is your RAM limit. If the code ends in 3,1 or 4,1, your actual limit is 6G. If it is 5,1 or higher, you can do at least 8G. Let us know that Machine Id ncode and we can suggest the proper RAM upgrade.
Doing the maintenance suggested in the list of articles is a better place to start than spending money. IF those steps don;t get yo uan improvement, then consider the pay-for options. -
When I get a "pdf" in an email and I click on the "pdf" button, I am always asked what program I want to use. How do I get the file to just open automatically?
You can specify in Windows what program to use for a given extension, for instance Adobe Acrobat Reader, for files with PDF extension. How you can connect the program and the extension, is described in this article; [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default "Change which programs Windows uses by default"]
In Firefox PDF links get opened automatically with Acrobat reader. When clicking on PDF attachments in Thunderbird, however, you will need to associate the program and the extension as described in the above article.
Hope it helps!
