How do I insert a downloadable pdf file?

That's my question... simple I hope!
How do I insert a downloadable pdf file?

On your web page select the text ot the object you want to link the pdf-file to.
Then open the Inspector window (View -> Show Inspector or alt-cmd-I) and open the Hyperlink tab (marked by the blue arrow).
Select "enable as Hyper link" and set the "Link to" selector to "a file".
In the File chooser select your pdf-file.
If your file is large, you might set the selector to "an external link". Then you enter the URL and it is would be your responsebility to upload the file to its site.

How do I insert a 3d pdf file into dreamweaver

I am using cs5, I have a 3d pdf file that needs to open in dreamweaver when someone is viewing the website not open it in a seperate file.

I have a 3d pdf file that needs to open in dreamweaver when someone is viewing the website not open it in a seperate file.
1) When someone visits your site, they're doing it in their web browser; not DW.
2) HTML files are web documents. PDF files are print documents. 2 different things.
3) Web browsers do not support PDF files without a helper application or Plug-in like Acrobat reader.
4) In order to view 3-D PDF files, your users need to have Acrobat Reader 9 or highet.
5) The very best you can do is link to the PDF file and hope your users have the required software to view it.
That's how Adobe does it.

How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?

How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?
Here's my favorite scenario:
1. User clicks button
2. Save As dialog displays
3. User chooses location
4. A set of PDF files download to that location OR a single zip file downloads
Background:
I want to ensure the user sees that files are being downloaded. I'm delivering content to users who may not be Web savvy.
Concern:
1. User has no clue how to find downloaded files or that files have even downloaded.
2. I'd like to deliver the set as zip files. Not sure if self-opening zip files still exist.
FYI:
I'm using jQuery UI buttons. Not sure if that factors into response.

Just for clarity, I'm not forcing a download. The user will click a button.
Click a button or click a link, either way you're technically executing a script to force a download.
I'm assuming that's the php file resident on the server.
Yes but that's only part of it. Once the contact form executes, another script is called up which opens the browser's download dialogue.
Is there a php script for simply calling the Open/Save dialog box?
Yes.
<?php
/* This short script forces a file download.
   For simplicity, it's intended to be used for a single file.
   You can use multiple copies of this file (with unique names)
   with different variable values to use it with multiple files.
   Use of this script has a side-effect of hiding the location of the
   file on your server.
// full server path to file to be downloaded (including filename)
$Path2File = "path/to-file-on-server.zip";
// the filename
$theFileName = "name-of-file.zip";
//the work gets done here
header ("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header ("Content-Length: " . filesize($Path2File));
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$theFileName");
readfile($Path2File);
?>
Name this file zip2download.php.
Add a link to your HTML page:
<a href="zip2download.php">Download Zip</a>

How to edit a downloaded .pdf file?

Hi! Have a downloaded .pdf file, (application for employment form) My options are to print out/fill out. I want to know if there is a way that I can edit the application so that I can fill it out on line (Neater) then print. Between a 2004 version of Word, plus Keynote, Pages and Adobe 8, I can't edit the application. I called Apple and they said there is no way that I edit a pdf file so that I can complete the application on line. There must be a way to do this, right? Thanks, Bill

Yes, there is a way. First, if check the security on the pdf. Adobe has many levels of security, so that files can be printed but not edited and not made into smaller files, etc.
Usually you would need the real Adobe app, not the reader. But then, even though Adobe can edit pdf files, it will not do so if the file is protected. You normally would be asked for a password when you attempt to modify a PW-protected pdf document.
That all being said, if the document is protected I can only refer you to ghostscript, ghostview and GSView.

When I try to open a downloaded PDF file it opens for about 6 seconds and then closes - how can I fix that?

I am using a Dell XPS8500 desktop with 64 bit Windows 7.
No problem downloading PDF files but when I open them they disappear before I can print.

Hello,
Which application are you trying to open the PDF files in? Firefox or Adobe Reader? Or another?
If adobe reader then please make sure that your copy is up to date. You can get the latest version here - http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/
Also I notice that you are using Firefox 19. Unless you have a particular reason to run an old version of Firefox is it much better to keep updated. The latest version is v22. New security fixes are applied in every new version of Firefox. Without them your PC is vulnerable. Please see this article: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

How do I get commands to display on a "full screen" display of a downloaded PDF file?

In recent months, more and more downloaded PDF files are displayed on my Mac Pro without the command line at the top of the page. This makes using & managing the documents difficult, and sometimes impossible. I can gain access to a limited number of commands by clicking on the doc, but noto nearly the range of commands available when the command line is visible. I still have many older PDF files that display in the usual manner. Is this a change associated with Lion or the latest Adobe update? Or, si there a command I do not know about that will restore the command line?

Adobe Reader for iOS doesn't have command lines.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below 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 (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
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.

the filereference class is for downloading and uploading files.

Mavericks 10.9.1. Freezes or trackpad becomes slow and unresponsive when viewing downloaded PDF files in Preview.Help!

The earlier post was my first attempt at posting and had some typos. Repeated with typos corrected.
I have a Macbook Pro Retina 13" Late 2013 with preinstalled Mavericks.I now have the 10.9.1 update. Almost from the time of purchase in Nov '13, I have been experiencing freezes and slow & unresponsive trackpad. I have more or less narrowed this symptom as happening when viewing downloaded PDF files. The only option is to force eject, if available or shut down. I spoke to Support as I thought it was a RAM issue and they told me that in Mavericks RAM showing almost full was normal as it uses RAM differently. They took me through some resets and cleaning up which has helped a little but freezing stll happens. This never happened with my Macbook AIr running Lion. Any suggestions?

So a PDF file that you can view in Preview on your MBA causes your new MBP to lock up and/or slow down. Is this right? Also you say more or less narrowed down to PDFs with Preview but does the computer exhibit this behavior with other programs and if so under what conditions? And how much free hard drive space do you have?
Viewing memory use in Mavericks is different than with previous versions of the OS. Today it looks like we need to pay attention to what Apple calls Memory Pressure which is gauged by the bar graph in Activity Monitor and to the Virtual Memory being used. When the memory pressure graph bar gets too high it turns red and that's bad news. Looking at how much memory is being used doesn't help - I have a 16GB computer and with almost nothing running it still shows something like 15.79GB used but the memory pressure graph is just a think green line. So unless you see the memory pressure bar turning red lets not worry about memory usage at the moment.
If among the things AppleCare had you do was reinstall Mavericks then I recommend a trip to the Apple store - and take a problem PDF file with you to demonstrate.

Adobe Reader 9.0 has delay when downloading PDF file through proxy server

There is an issue with the Adobe Reader (and Acrobat) 9.0 PDF Link Helper ActiveX control for Internet Explorer (6 or 7) on Windows computers with respect to proxy servers. Due to this issue, there is a 2 minute delay for any Internet Explorer web browser on the Deere network before any PDF file will open from the Internet within the IE web browser if In-Place activation (Display PDF in Browser) is enabled in Adobe Reader 9. This problem does not affect Adobe Reader 8.
What we are seeing is that when someone on the Deere network clicks on a links to a PDF file in the Internet, the PDF file downloads immediately. But then, after the PDF file is downloaded, the Adobe Reader 9 PDF Link Helper ActiveX control tries to talk directly to the Internet web site. The Adobe Reader 9 PDF Link Helper ActiveX control does not know how to negotiate our proxy server. So after a minute or two, the Adobe Reader 9 PDF Link Helper ActiveX control times out (gives up) and allows the IE browser to display the downloaded PDF file in the IE browser.
We work around this issue by disabling In Place Activation for PDF files in IE (uncheck Display PDF in Browser). But we would like a fix for the PDF Link Helper ActiveX control.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals]
"bBrowserIntegration"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Originals]
"bBrowserIntegration"=dword:00000000
Here's what our proxy people see when they do a trace of a PDF file download through their proxy server with IE 7 and Adobe Reader 9 with Display PDF in Browser checked.
The browser tells the proxy to download the pdf, it does and sends it to the browser. Before the browser opens it something in Acrobat ( or I.E. ? ) tries to make a connection back to the content server that hosted the pdf. Unfortunately this agent does not ask the proxy to make the request for it, but rather asks local DNS to resolve the Internet server name. This request dies because our internal private network does not know anything about the Internet. Only the DNS used by the proxy can resolve Interent names. After two unsuccessful DNS queries into the private network, the agent tries to resolve the same Internet name with NBNS ( netbios name service) queries again into the private network, with the same results. These requests persists for more than two minutes ( over 200 unresolved queries ). Then for whatever reason the agent gives up and the already downloaded pdf file loads into the browser.
I have a TCP capture file if you want it.

Hi,
I have the same problem with some specific PDF files. For more than 90% it hangs when opening the file, but sometimes it works (with the same file).
The workflows where it sometimes worked:
a) Loading the PDF, the reader is started the first time and displays license dialog.
b) The reader was already runing and file is loaded with Drag&Drop or File/Open in the Reader
But most times it does not load.
I could not find out which file is missing or trying to be opened. So I tried with the CP949.TXT.
I found no CP949.TXT in Reader 8 installation, so I took it from the link, pasted into notepad and stored in the respective directory
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Resource\TypeSupport\Unicode\Mappings\win\
Now it seems to work fine, opening PDFs with double click from exporer.
But why did Adobe Reader 8 not have the TypeSupport directory at all?
Even when having found a fix (hack?), I think I did not understand the cause of this problem.
Regards,
TheLastReader

How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer. Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making). However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
Thanks,
Bob Kendall

For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

"This message cannot be sent because it uses stationery and contains attachments that are not images. Messages with stationery cannot contain attachments that aren’t images. You can cancel and return to editing the message or remove the stationery in order to send." My choice is to cancel or remove stationary.
Is there a third party solution? Any suggestion?

How to get Firefox to display pdf file in browser (Win 7, FF 19.0, AA 10.1.6, IE 9)?

After Firefox updated to version 19, when I tried to view a pdf file, the file appeared in a strange new viewer. Seemed to work OK, but I was concerned (didn't know that it is apparently a new feature of FF 19), and wanted the Adobe viewer back.
After a few minutes of viewing in the FF pdf viewer, a message appeared that said something like-- This viewer may not be displaying the document correctly. Would you like to use Adobe Acrobat instead?-- I clicked yes.
Now, when I click a link for a pdf file, it will either open automatically in Adobe Acrobat (windows application, not viewer within FF), or I'll get a dialog that asks whether I want to save the file or use Adobe Acrobat to open it.
I have followed the instructions here:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-adobe-reader-plugin-view-or-download-pdf-files?esab=a&s=view+pdf+in+browser&r=0&as=s
Including:

Delete the mimetypes.rdf file

Let me know if you think I've missed any info that would be helpful. Now that I know the new PDF viewer is FF native, I wouldn't mind trying it out.
Thanks!
Who
repair of Adobe Acrobat
If I start IE and click a pdf link within IE, I can view a PDF file within IE, but who wants IE?

Hi madperson,
It seems like there is some progress. After setting pdfjs.disabled to true, when I click on a pdf link, it still only asks me if I want to open the file with (application list) or save the file. However, when I look at the options dialog>applications, the selection for pdf documents changed from use plugin to use Adobe Acrobat Reader (not plugin). I scrolled through the selection list, but the Adobe plugin was not listed. However, when I look at the add-ons screen, the Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin is listed at the top. So, it seems like the plugin is installed, but firefox doesn't know it's there...somehow.
How do I uninstall the Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin and re-install? Can I just do that? Or, do I need to uninstall/reinstall the entire Adobe Acrobat Reader application?
Thanks
