FTP from Solaris 10 to Windows Hangs on some PDF files

Documents containing images and Eastern European characters have been PDF'd on Windows machines (XP) using various versions of Adobe Acrobat (5 and 8 certainly), and are uploaded to Web Serving apps running on Solaris 10 systems. Retrieval of the PDF of certain of these documents stalls and never completes. Using standard FTP services, the same condition occurs. FTPing the file from Windows to Solaris has no problem. The return journey fails. The original Word documents that were used to create the PDFs transfer without errors. It appears that somethin inside the PDF is causing a problem with the Solaris FTP server. Is this a known problem? Is there a known workaround?

The FTP from the Solaris system to a Windows system fails - just a simple file transfer. It first manifested itself when trying to retrieve from within a Browser, even when directing the Browser to save the file - both IE6 and Firefox 3.0. Investigation showed the same behavior using Windows FTP and FileZilla from XP systems. The problem appears to be at the Solaris FTP server which just hangs at a certain point through the transfer. Filezilla times out and tries the transfer again. After two failures it abandons the transfer. Browser file transfers just stall. We suspect this is caused by some sequence within the file that affects the server.

Using Windows 7, now Reader XI and now SOME pdf files won't display. Try: 'PDF of Reader XI Help'!!!

After installling Reader XI SOME pdf files will not display. Using Windows 7 and all worked fine until installation of XI. Esample: when I try to display YOUR file 'PDF of Reader XI Help' all I get is a blank screen with an X in the upper right corner. Works just fine with Windows XP and Reader 8.5.1. Any ideas ?????

? Some pdf files from the web will not open, some will.

Some pdf files from the web will not open, some will. I am using Adobe Reader 10.0.1 on an 8-year old puter I have just upgraded to 2G of RAM. It worked fine before with 256K. When a file won't open I get error message "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (103:103). Have uninstalled and reinstalled all Adobe products several times. Ideas?

Good luck with that. Adobe10.0.1 is a bug infested BAD program. Look at the posts relating to this issue for the last 3 days. Many, many problems. Support is no help.

How to delete in iTunes for Mac some PDF files, previously synched with iPhone and then deleted from it?

A while ago I synced some PDF files from my iTunes to my iPhone. I've deleted those PDF files from my iPhone recently but now i'm trying to delete them from iTunes but can't. How can this be done?
P.S. Tried to select/highlight them (OK) and then to delete with cmd+Backspace - doesn't work

Can't download/view "some" pdf files.

I once had Adobe Reader which caused some problems. I moved it to trash. I also trashed the Adobe Reader Internet Plug-in in the Library. I still can't open some pdf files (e.g., bank monthly statements). A window opens showing the statement (which should be pdf), but when I try to save: File>Save, I get a window that opens that includes: "Export As: Statement.html" and "Format: Page Source." The Format selection feature opens a pulldown menu that allows "Web Archeive" as the only other choice.
My Library Plug-ins still show :
Is there anything else here that I need to delete? How is it that I can still download some pdf files, view them, and save them? This problem is happening on the monthly statements for a couple of financial institutions and not others!

This is so strange. I had also posted the same issues to my financial institutions and one of them just responded:
". . . this issue began with an update for Preview from Apple. We have discovered a work-around. If you Ctrl-click on the statement you would like to open (ex. January 2012), and choose "Open Link in New Window", it should open the way you are used to."
This worked! After Ctrl-clicking the window, it opens another window that now allows saving or printing the file as pdf! I can't believe Apple is leaving these issues hanging there.

Unable to open some pdf files by clicking on them, but can open in Adobe Reader 10.1.0.

When I click directly on some pdf files which have been saved in My Documents, I get an error message: "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the end user license agreement." Yet, I can open those same files from Adobe Acrobat, they open easily. This has only happened with PDF files saved from two credit card companies; my bank PDFs and other pdfs can be opened without first opening Adobe Acrobat. Is there some security block I need to undo or ?? (I am the administrator of these files.) I have done a reinstall and a repair, but this didn't help. (I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.0 on Windows 7)

Glad to know that it worked.You can get more information about Protected Mode from the following link:

Although the issue you describe should not be related to the Protected Mode anyhow, but it seems that its a bug in the product.

Can't open some PDF files

These are probably very basic questions but here they go. I am having some trouble opening some PDF files from my school's website. I can download them just fine but when I try to open them a window pops up saying the file could not be open because there was an error.
The tricky thing is I was able to download and open PDF files from other sources (mainly email).
Because of that I went into Adobe's website and dowloaded and installed both Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader over the copies that I already had on my computer. Is that bad? Does the computer just write the new copy over the previous one I had without a problem or does it now have duplicated files in the program's folder that could lead to future malfunctioning?
Even tough I haven't noticed any changes in performance yet could that be concern for future problems (crashing, computer slowing down)? Should I reformat the HD to factory settings and start from scratch since I do not have almost any info/ files in the computer yet? Or am I better off leaving the computer as it is and not messing with trying to reformat.
When a
The other question I have is can there be PDF files that open only in Windows OS and PDF files that would work on both?
Thanks in advance

Probably you're opening pdfs using Preview. Preview is very good and it'll open almost any pdf but not 100% of them, for that you must use Acrobat Reader.
What you did was fine, just keep using the computer.

Adobe Reader 9.x crashes when opening some pdf files that work fine with Adobe Reader 8.x

Adobe Reader 9 crashes when opening approximately 10% to 20% of the pdfs in my collection. The remaining 80% to 90% work without problems. The pdfs are launched by double-clicking the pdf file from Windows Explorer. The crashes occur with both v9.0 and v9.1. The pdfs that crash in v9.x work fine in older versions of Adobe Reader, such as v8.1.3. Furthermore, this behavior also occurs on all 3 virtual machine hosted on the same physical machine, with default Adobe Reader settings, for both v9.0 and v9.1. The virtual machines have little running in memory except standard Windows executables - i.e. they are fairly pristine. The operating systems for the virtual machines are XP SP3, XP SP2, and Windows Server 2003.
Error message info in all cases:
app=acrord32.exe
app version=9.1.0.163
module=jp2klib.dll
module version=2.0.0.2579
offset=0003277d
Operating system for real computer: XP SP3
CPU: 1333 MHz Athlon single core
RAM: 1 GB
To sum up, this problem happens on both a real computer running XP SP3, and also on all 3 virtual machines hosted on the same physical computer. I tried changing the Reader setting to not use hardware rendering, to no avail. I also tried various Data Execution Prevention settings in Windows, to no avail. All operating systems, the real and virtual ones, do not have problems with other programs that I use. I also tried a second machine with Adobe Reader v9.1 and the same exact problem pdfs, and had no issues. Thus, the problem happens on only one of the computers, but on the real and 3 virtual operating systems on that machine. There were no errors reported during any of the Reader installations. The virtual machines had no prior versions of Reader prior to Reader installation.

I did further testing of 10 single page pdf files which I created from a single book. All 5 pdf files with images crashed in Reader v9.1. 0 of the 5 pdf files without images crashed in Reader v9.1. Reader v8.1.4 crashes on none of the 10 pdfs. Note that the crash always occurs in jp2klib.dll, which according to the file property description is 'JPEG2000 Core Library', which deals with images. So it seems the issue is in Adobe's jp2klib.dll, in combination with the hardware/software that I have. I used Microsoft's DirectX Diagnostic Tool to test DirectX, including visual tests of DirectDraw and Direct3D - everything worked as expected with no issues detected.

Some PDF files will not open

Hi - anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated as I am beyond frustrated.
I have Adobe Reader (version 11.1.3) on my Android phone (SG4) but this applies to iPhones as well. Some PDF files open without issue. But there are a few that just give me a message that says "Please wait... if this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of content. You canupgrade tot he latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows, Mac or Linux by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download."
There are 2 files specifically that boggle me. Both of these are Adobe forms, extended to reader, that I created and both were downloaded from our intranet. One will open and one will not. I tried recreating the one that will not open, had it uploaded to our intranet but still it won't open...
I can't for the life of me understand why?!?!

These are online documents, right? This message usually means that you are trying to open the doc in a browser that uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.

Missing text, not all, in some .pdf files

I have just started to receive some .pdf files with photos on them and text. But there are places where there should be text and it does not show up when I receive. Others are able to view this particular .pdf I'm citing in its entirety. The person who sent to me often sends me .pdf graphics/text and until now I have not had a problem viewing his .pdf files. I have a current adobe reader file - not the paid version - and it is up to date. He is sending from his apple to my windows explorer. I don't know what to do here as it is important I receive these and I have no explanation?
Also this particular .pdf he had created to be a 1/2 page ad in a local newspaper, so I think he would have designed it to be larger? But again, I've had no trouble reading what he sends even one meant for a full page ad. Is there something I can do to correct this? I did Google and it seems others have run into this on occasion.

I'm going to try to imbed the adobe image of one of the files. I notice when I look on my desktop and the file image is there, it is small icon of course, but I can see the missing words clearly on it. But when I open it up, via the adobe reader, that is when spots are blank, but when I look very closely the words are really there but a very faded gray, to be not legible. And they are clearly there if I right click and highlight.These were two areas of course where he had made some changes.
I was not allowed to download and insert the image and it is an adobe image....it says
"The content image of this type is not allowed" Interesting. It is merely an insert for fundraising - a small add (to be placed in energy invoices) for an animal group - small file. Also, remember I mentioned others could receive these two adobe files and had no problem reading those areas. It seems to be only me sad to say!

Unable to open some pdf files

Hi there. Sorry to bother you guys but i'm really puzzled about something. Recently I've had problems opening some pdf files (they open fine on a pc). When i try to open it, the preview window opens but i am told "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." I have on several occasions downloaded the latest version, but this does not seem to solve the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? BTW I am using a macbook running on leopard. Thanks!

I don't know where bubbles went, but this just happened to me for the first time EVER using Mac OS X. I just received a pdf from a co-worker that gives me the "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." when trying to open it with Preview. Like I said, I've never had Preview fail to open a pdf before. Has this been seen before? Is there something new r different about how this pdf might have been created that Preview doesn't handle?
I had recently downloaded a demo of YNAB (You Need A Budget) which also installed Adobe AIR (ugh). Thinking that might have changed something, I uninstalled AIR, rebooted, but no change. This pdf is still unopenable in Preview.
BTW, I am totally uninterested in installing Reader on my system and am hoping I can deal with this singularity.
Thanks to anyone with any insight...

Problem searching some PDF files in Acrobat Reader – Non-ASCII characters

Acrobat Reader cannot search some .pdf files. I have put an example document up on Scribd here.
Any attempt to search for any word that can be clearly seen to be in the document fails with “No matches were found.”
This example document is NOT a scanned document – words and characters can be selected.
A hex display tool shows that the characters in a PDF document that can be successfully searched are in the ASCII/1252 range (A=0x41, etc).
Copying and pasting characters in the example document to a hex display tool shows that the characters in the document are not in the ASCII range.
For example the letters A to Z in the example document are in the range ‘A’ = 0xDF (decimal 223), ‘B’ = 0xDE (decimal 222), through to ‘Z’ = 0xC6 (decimal 198).
However, characters in these non-ASCII ranges are displayed perfectly by Acrobat Reader, as can be see if the example document is opened.
Therefore, as Acrobat Reader knows what these characters are, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to say that it should be able to search for and find them.
Tests were performed using Acrobat Reader X v10.1.4.
Can anyone say what this problem is?

Hi Pat, thanks for your reply.
Your reference to the title of that page being 'HARNESSES' indicates that, when you view that document in Adobe Reader, you are seeing 'HARNESSES', not
"ØßÎÒÛÍÍÛÍ". And that the remainder of the document is similarly being displayed in readable English language.
Yes as you say, you can search for 'ß' and get hits on 'A' (to use that as an example) in the example document.
But the need to form a word to be searched for into whatever code mapping this is using (for example having to enter "ØßÎÒÛÍÍ" for HARNESSES - I'm not even sure how that would be entered from a keyboard) doesn't seem to be very convenient.
Its clear the example document is using some code mapping other than ASCII / Windows-1252 (which has 'A' as 0x41). But it is also clear that Adobe Reader knows what that mapping is, and knows to use it, as its displaying (for example) 'A' for the code 0xDF.
So I guess the question is - why isn't Adobe Reader's knowledge of this mapping being extended to its search input?

Cannot open some PDF files in Illustrator

Hi,
One of our users is unable to open some PDF files in her ver of illustrator.
Her version is 15.0.2 using Windows 7 64bit
She can open the PDF in reader but when she tries to opens it in Illustrator she gets error "file not found" this is the same if she right clicks open with illustrator or double clicks, and also if she tries to open from within Illustrator.
The file was created using illustrator for MAC and they can open the file OK, they also tried to save the file as an AI and she still cannot open it.
I have no ideas, any help would be very much appreciated.

kprust,
Which version are the files created in?
If above CS5, what happens if they are downsaved to CS5, then (saved as PDF and) opened by her?
And what happens if she creates a PDF herself and then tries to open it?

Ipad Dropbox app cannot open some pdf files

my Ipad Dropbox app cannot open some pdf files. The blue download bar appears and when download is complete, the wheel spins and spins and nothing happens.
Some files are password protected. until recently, the password window would open. Now it does not. The wheel just spins and spins and the file does not open.
AN email attachment (pdf) which I opened in Dropbox on my iPhone opens fine. Files saved in Dropbox from my desktop won't open. This is true for pdf and MSWord files.
I'm running iOS 7.1.2 (11D257)

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Should that fail, you might delete and reinstall the app.
