How do I get a PDF reader onto my PowerBook 2400c?

I was wondering if anyone knew how to get a PDF reader onto my old powerbook which is running OS 8.1.
It can't connect to the internet, and doesn't have a CD-ROM drive, but it does have a floppy drive.
My desktop computer (a swivel iMac) also has a floppy drive and is running OX 10.3.9.
The problem is that Acrobat can't fit on a floppy, and I have no idea if there's anyway to seperate the Acrobat installer among several floppies and install it.
Thanks!!

    (sorry if this is in the wrong place, I couldn't figure out if it was a software issue relevant to 8.1, or a hardware issue, or both.)

    Hi, maxwellro -
    If you have an older version of Stuffit Deluxe on your iMac which you can use, one of the included utilities that came with it is DropSegment. You can use that to segment a large file (such as the installer for Acrobat) into smaller pieces; you can specify the segment size in its Preferences (File menu). Once transferred to the PowerBook the segments can be rejoined.

  • How do I get my PDF files onto my ipad

    I spoke to apple in February and they helped me put ove a hundred PDF files onto my ipad.  When I open acrobat under the heading of documents is where all the files reside. I even made subfolders. Well, I forgot how to do it and called apple again today and they told me with the new ibook update, all pdf files get placed under ibooks. not only that, I cannot make subfolders.  Their only suggestion was to get an account with acrobat and transfer them that way.  I uploaded the files here, but now I cannot figure out how to get them onto my ipad.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Jim

    You can either select GoodReader at the bottom of the iPad's apps tab when connected to you computer's iTunes - it should appear as one apps that support file sharing (there is info on file sharing in the manual which can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad). Or the app itself supports wifi transfer via you wifi network - just touch the wifi symbol (next to the camera) at the bottom of the app on your iPad, and you should be given an address to use on your computer's browser so as to transfer files to/from the app.

  • How do I get a PDF form to show its content using Mac 10.9.3, Safari 7.0.4 and Reader XI?

    I am using my Mac 10.9.3 with Adobe Reader XI in my Safari 7.0.4 Browser.  I do not have any trouble viewing PDF statements with my bank or other places OTHER than at Ford Credit.  Each time I log into Ford Credit to view the statements and attempt to download them, all I get on the screen is their blank form with headings and titles---no content.  When this happened once before over a year ago with my old Mac computer, I found my answer online by making Adobe Reader my default reader instead of Preview.  At that time it worked.  This time, its not working.  I contacted Ford Credit and they said their online Account Manager performs better using Internet Explorer.  The only answer they had for me was that advice or to contact Adobe.  So here I am looking for answers.  Any help provided is already appreciated.

    I do not know what to do or what to say or what to type to get someone familiar with the Adobe Reader to respond to my plea for help.  I am a 55 year old (aging fast) woman who is taking care of a father-in-law with dementia and a mother-in-law with Stage 4 Breast Cancer so I am already at my wits end when trying to get a program to work on my computer.
    Again, I ask.  How do I get the Adobe Reader to show content on a PDF statement at Ford Credit when all other PDF statements on other accounts work fine?  Ford Credit says it is a problem with Adobe Reader and that I am to come here for the answers.  I have 'googled' and have looked for similar posts on the Adobe Reader Community forums but I haven't found the answer yet.  
    Posting "[moved to the Adobe Reader (desktop) forum]", which I have yet to find, probably doesn't exist, or posting "Duplicate of https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1491128" does not provide an answer when an answer could have been provided at the same time taken to post those notations.  I don't get it or understand it---not what I would have done if the roles were reversed.
    If you have any heart, or any form of courtesy, please respond with an actual, workable answer to what is probably a simple solution to my problem.  And, then maybe, the answer will help someone else in the future who may be struggling with the same situation and will find it in a 'google' search and won't waste any more of your valuable time.  Or theirs.
    Thanks.

  • How do I get IE to read pdf's with a Windows 7 OS and acrobat 7 on my system?

    How do I get IE to read pdf's with a Windows 7 OS and acrobat 7 on my system? It works with firefox. It worked previously but I think the automatic upgrade to reader 9.4 messed it up - so how do I fix it?

    Hi,
    It looks like the default association of your PDFs was set to Adobe Acrobat, when you installed Adobe Reader 9.4.0. I would request you to either uninstall Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and install it again. This time around, you will receive a window asking you to chose between Adobe Acrobat 7 and Adobe Reader 9.4.0 as the default PDF viewing application, make sure you select Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and continue on. This will associate Adobe Reader 9.4.0 as the default PDF viewing application and your internet explorer will be able to open PDFs without an issue.
    If an uninstall seems out of the question, you can change the following registries to point to the path of AcroRd32.exe (i.e. the path wherein you have installed Adobe Reader 9.4.0. By default it would be something like: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe). The quotes mentioned below are intentional and must be included.
    i.   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
    ii.  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7\shell\Open\command\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""%1"
    iii. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7\shell\Read\command\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""%1"
    This should set the default application to view PDFs as Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and let you view PDFs in browser as well.
    Hope this works.

    You can't. If you could it would be a HUGE security bug, and would be quickly fixed.

  • TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
    If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
    Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there.  If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

  • How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which makes a PDF of a web page interactive, to work in Firefox 4.0.1?

    I just installed (on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) operating system/Intel i5 CPU M560 2.67 GHz) and am now using as my default browser Firefox 4.0.1 because Internet Explorer 9 was giving me so much trouble--lack of display of web content, lack of PDF reproduction when web content displayed, screwball formatting display, etc., all of which has been remedied by the mere installation of Firefox 4.0.1.
    How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which converts a web page to an interactive PDF, to set up and work on Firefox 4.0.1?

    You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

  • I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

    I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

    They can't.  Which came first - the chicken or the egg?  Actually, that's a bad comparison but a sync must come first.
    The library is actually part of iTunes and it contains everything.  iTunes is then configured so that you (or they) determine which portion of everything will be synced to each iPod (identified by a unique name, see below for an example of an iPod and an iPad).  iTunes can't make that decision until AFTER it knows which iPods exist.
    By the way, I (you, they) can very easily change the name of each device to whatever I (you, they) wish to call it.

  • How do I get the PDF icon to show on all of my PDF files?

    how do I get the PDF icon to show on all of my PDF?

    Generally the icons are a selection that is set in MS Explorer (on the PC). Depending on the version of windows, there are various ways of getting at the properties related to an icon, including what application would open the file.

  • How can I get my old pictures onto my android?

    I was wondering how I can get my old pictures onto my android from my Verizon account?

    Which phone do you have?
    Easiest way is to change the storage location to the removable SD card then put that in your other phone (provided it has an SD card slot)
    Other options Change storage to SD card then use a computer to transfer to the new phone
    Plug old phone into the computer, load the driver and copy them off the old phone to the computer, then plug new phone in and copy them to the new phone
    Download JS Backup from the Play store onto both phones (provided the new one is an android as well) then on the old phone use the Device to device transfer method to create a backup, and on the new phone use the device to device import to import the pics.
    Whatever you do.... STAY AWAY from Verizon Cloud. Chances are you will never see all of your pictures again and will have tons of trouble getting to them to move or do anything with them.  If you want to use a Cloud Storage, get Dropbox on your old phone and new phone, move the pics into dropbox then onto the new phone.

  • New Ipod How Do I Get My Old Songs Onto It

    *I have got a new ipod ((an ipod nano 2nd generation)) but all my old song are*
    *on my old ipod ((an ipod mini)) how do i get my old songs onto my new ipod...*
    *not all my songs are from itunes store or off cds =S*
    *I hope you can help...*
    *thankyou =)*

    You can't copy directly from one iPod to another. If the songs aren't in iTunes you need to copy them back from your old iPod and update the new one from there.
    The transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Mac and Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • How do I get my old contacts onto my iPhone 5? Have tried with iCloud, but no luck.

    How do I get my old contacts onto my iPhone 5? Have tried with iCloud, but no luck.
    I backed up my old iPhone on iCloud, ensuring that contacts was 'on' and then backed up my new iPhone 5. I have surely missed a vital step, but I can't figure it out.
    I'd really appreciate any help.
    Thanks!

    I have also realised that my contacts are not in iCloud. I have backed up my old iPhone several times (today!) and they are simly not getting there. Any ideas?
