Having an issue while opening a .pdf in an excel file

Hi all,
I'm using Office 2010 on Windows XP. In my excel file, i've got many pdf files which are incorporated into excel's cells, that I can't open, i have got the error message : "can not start the source application for this object". I'm also using Adobe Reader X (10.0.1).
I tried to re-install Adobe and Office 2010, but it still doesn't work. I re-installed my computer (format c:\ and I just re-installed XP + Office 2010 + Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) and nothing more [the computer is whithout any personnal data]) -> it doesn't work, i got the same error message.
I don't know what to do more, if any one got a solution, it will help me a lot !
Thanks in advance,
Yvan

Problem while opening the PDF

Hi All,
Iam having an issue while opening the PDF-Attachment in which iam sending it as attachment to the mail.While opening the PDF iam getting the error that "Aodbe Reader could not open the document because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged(for example,it was sent as an email attachment and was'nt correctly decoded)".
The function-module "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1" is getting use to send the attachment.
First iam converting the internal table data into PDF and then am sending the mail with PDF-attchment.
Thanks,
Asmitha.

Even i had a smilar problem. The reason is perhaps the data in internal table doesnt get converted into PDF corectly. In my case i had to convert into PDF and download on local machine. Attching below code for it.Maybe u can get pointers to your problem.

Issue while opening BI4 webi report instance using CMC on IE8 browser

Hi,

Hello Gokul,
first thing is to check is if your chrome version is supported by your current BO version as specified in the PAM (is it?). If the chrome version is supported, and you still have an issue, then you can check with a sap support engineer.

Having issues Creating a PDF from an Excel file

When creating PDFs from an Excel file using the Adobe PDF printer, I sometimes run into an issue where the PDF ends up shrinking what's on the document and distorting the image. I have examined all Print Settings and can't find a difference between any of the margin settings, paper size, etc. Once I go to print to Adobe PDF, it just changes the way the whole document looks and is spaced.
To work around the issue, I use Microsoft's built in Save As PDF feature, but that's only works some of the time. I would like to use the Acrobat software so that I can also edit the document immediately without having to re-open it.

Be sure Adobe PDF is selected as the printer in the print menu. Then do a print preview. It it looks wrong then, it is likely an Excel format issue.

Why does reader freeze while opening some pdf files and others open instantaneously?

I use pdf files created from CamScanner and shared from DropBox. In DropBox, many times (over 50%) while opening the PDF the process freezes and the error message is Adobe Reader is not responding. If you close the program, and re-open the file, it opens fine. I have saved these files to my computer and the same issue occurs. The files are 100-500kb, so I do not think size is the issue. I have reinstalled Reader (11.1.10) and there is no improvement.

This appears to have reduced the time to load a document. Thanks Jimb From: Anubha Goel <[email protected]>

Hi All,
my issue is resolved. The problem with my issue was the missing entry in the table SMO_AUTH_SYS. I found the note 687679 and ran the report according to it. With that table SMO_AUTH_SYS was populated with the record. Later i was able to connect to AMT and gave the standard role SAP_AMT_USER and since then i am able to log into MSAA application and also MSY application
My issue is resolved. Thanks for everyone who tried to help me out.
Thanks,

Issue while opening webi reports using OpenDoc url in Chrome browser

Hi
We are in SAP BI4.0 SP7. We are facing weird issue while opening the webi report via OpenDoc url in chrome. we are facing the below issue only in chrome and it works perfectly in IE and Firefox.
For the first time the report gets opened properly(when a session is created). If we try to open the same report from the same machine in a different browser tab, report gets opened up without any Tables\charts. We could see only a blank page with just the Report Tab name at the bottom. If we do refresh on the page, the report opens up correctly. We have checked for packet drops and there is no such thing. Is there any setting that we should make to resolve this. Your help is appreciated.
thanks
Gokul

Hi Kumar,
If this is happening with all the reports then this issue seems to be due to firewall or security settings of Solaris OS.
Please try to lower down the security level in solaris and test for the issue.

Access denied while opening any PDF the second time / Zugriff verweigert beim zweiten Öffnen eines beliebigen PDF

Reader produces "Access denied" while opening any PDF the second time. A LogOut/LogIn or restart is necessary to open a PDF again successfully. User works with a PC (Win7). The file is located on the desktop in a Windows 2008/2012 AD, user profile on networkshare. The same procedure with a file located on any other networkshare or locally on harddisk works without error. Analysis with processmonitor indicates that the file seems to load and then is cancelled for some unknown reason. The problem is somehow growing, beginning with 1 PC and exists now also in our Citrix environment (2 users). Access rights seem to ok and the same on all tested shares (full Access or Change rights).
Der Reader bringt den Fehler "Zugriff verweigert", wenn man das zweite mal ein PDF öffnen will. Dabei ist der Fehler völlig unabhängig davon, ob man das gleiche oder ein anderes PDF öffnen will. Um wieder erfolgreich ein PDF zu öffnen, ist ein Ab- und Anmelden bzw. ein Neustart des PCs (Win7) nötig. Umgebung ist eine Windows 2008/2012 AD, Profil liegt im Netz. Der Fehler tritt nur bei PDFs auf, die auf dem User-Desktop liegen. Sind die Dateien irgendwo anders im Netz oder lokal auf der Festplatte, kommt der Fehler nicht. Eine Analyse mit dem Prozessmonitor zeigt, dass das Laden des PDFs irgendwann gecancelt wird, warum auch immer. Das Problem scheint sich auch langsam auszuweiten. Es hat mit einem PC begonnen und tritt nun auch in unserer Citrix Umgebung bei bis jetzt 2 Usern auf. Die Berechtigungen scheinen überall ok und gleich zu sein (Volluzgriff oder Ändern).

And how are you spawning the php instances? I don't see that in the daemons array anywhere.
EDIT: It looks like the info in that page is no longer using pre-spawned instances, but lighttpd adaptive-spawn. The documentation has been made inconsistent it looks like.
You will note that with pre-spawned information, the config looks different[1].
You need to do one or the other, not both (eg. choose adaptive-spawn, or pre-spawn..not both).

I can't open attachments on my iPad 2. I have downloaded the 8.0.2 software update. I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.

I can't open attachments on my iPad 2t and I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.

Obviously, you are talking about the mail app, so force close the mail app and reset your iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
When you reset all settings, you will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

XI Pro, Excel 2013, Win 8.1: Opening a pdf embedeed in Excel starts Acrobat in Maximized Window

I am embedding (Insert/Object/Adobe Acrobat Document) pdf's in an Excel spreadsheet.
I'm using the option to show the pdf as an icon.
That all works fine.
When I double click the icon Acrobat is starting in a maximized Windows window.
It is filling up my entire monitor with Acrobat.
Normally when I start Acrobat it takes the window shape from the last time I closed it.
Is there any way to control the Window size when opening a pdf from inside Excel?
Thanks.
