How to open PDF file from WinHelp

Hello everyone
I hope someone can help me with a little problem I have.
I have read the topics about using the ExecFile macro to open
pdf files that will always be at a specific location on a computer.
However, I would like to open a pdf that can exist anywhere
on the Computer, because it is possible to install our software
anywhere on the Computer, and as our software is rebranded the file
structure changes for each brand.
please can someone come up with an answer to this llttle
teaser?
Many Thanks
Sean

  • I am trying to open PDF files from safari, but when I click on them they open in a separate window and the information is encrypted. Any ideas on how to get them to open them in Adobe? Any help please!

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
    605124.pdf.html
    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
    Use this link to download it automatically:

    Hi Ram,
    Following information might help you to resolve the issue.
    After logging into Desktop Intelligence, you may be presented with a message stating:
    u201CYou have received 1 document from users"
    Examining the Inbox from within the Desktop Intelligence client shows no objects visible in your Inbox.
    The object in your Inbox is in a format other than Desktop Intelligence format such as, PDF, XLS or other format. Therefore the object is not recognized by the Desktop Intelligence client inbox browser.
    Log in to Info View or the Central Management Console, browse to your Inbox and verify the file name and format that has been sent to your Inbox. The object may be saved, copied, moved or deleted as necessary.

  • Problems opening PDF files from Websites

    I just had the contents of my (dying) ibook transferred onto my emac. The tech created a new user/desktop on the emac. Now, when I try to open PDF files from a website, I get a window saying this:
    "Downloading - users/myname/desktop/xxxxx.pdf could not be saved because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to a different location."
    Points to note: 1) The "xxxxx.pdf" part of the above message changes each time I try to open a pdf document, even the same one, and it does not show the real name of the document (e.g. CollegeApplication.pdf)
    2) this never happened on my laptop;
    3) the settings are set in Firefox to download pdf's to my desktop;
    4) I have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat, which I already tried opening before downloading.
    Any ideas? Thank you!

    Will the new account save to a different location?
    Is the "myname" that appears in the error message that of the new account or of the old one?
    Following up on Frank's tip about file permissions, is it possible that the GID of the new user account conflicts with the existing? The existing admin user was likely GID = 501 on both Macs, and depending on how the laptop's data was transferred, the internal ownership of the transferred files still points to 502 rather than say 502.
    have you tried the old standby of running Disk Utility's Repair Permissions on the hard drive?

  • Open pdf files from button

    Hello, please i need help with my problem. Is there any way to open pdf files from button? How can i set this in DVD Studio? Thanks for your answer.

    Just to pick up from Shawn - even if you do use DVD@ccess you cannot use a button to launch the link, you have to use a full menu. In practice, you use two identical menus and set the button for the PDF to go to the second menu, which is set to time out very quickly and jump back to the original menu. It gives the visual effect of a button launching the asset, but in fact it was the opening of the second menu which did the trick.
    And just to emphasise what Shawn rightly said - don't use DVD@ccess. It is at best unreliable and for many PC users won't work at all. It is far better to add the PDF as ROM material and put a message on a menu screen that tells the user there is additional content on the disc, and how to access it. This has the added advantage of letting those using a set top player know the material is there without frustrating them that something doesn't 'automatically' work (you can't open a PDF on a set top player, only on a computer player).

  • I cannot open a pdf file with aole-mail. I can open pdf files from windows explorer. I have associated pdf with adobe reader. My operating system is window

    I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as  I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.
    When I try to open the pdf file within aol e-mail I get a message: 'Your security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'.  I have not changed my security settings (Tools, Internet Options, security).

  • I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

    I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way.  I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

    Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers).  If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged.  This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
    You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

  • Error when opening PDF files from SAP.

    Hi Gurus
    I have posted this question in ABAP Development section also. Please read the below text.
    We are having a strange intermittent problem with Adobe Reader. When we try to open PDF files from SAP Frontend we get an error pop-up. The pop-up does not have any text. The title of the pop-up has "Adobe Reader". There is a blue question mark and an OK button.
    This issue occurs few times a day in Windows Vista.
    This issue does not occur in Windows XP.
    Since past few weeks, we have been trying to find some error/warning/atleast some text in log files of SAP, OS, Adobe Reader, Registry entries, Event Viewer. So far, we have not found anything.
    SAP is not able to help as this issue occurs intermittently and said when they tried, the issue did not occur. They made two attempts and in each attempt they tried 10 times to reproduce the issue. This issue occurs intermittently.
    Environment
    SAP R/3 4.7 EE SAP_Basis 620 Support Package 61
    Windows Vista Enterprise
    Adobe Reader 9.0 and Adobe Reader 9.1 (tried with both versions)
    SAPGUI 710 Patch 12 (latest patch). It also occured in Patch 11.
    Please suggest
    Thank you
    Pavan

    Now I got to capture the screenshot, however not able to attach/upload here but it says:
    'Reading Untagged Documents'
    lets say i tried to open 6 page document then it said:
    'This 6-page document is untagged and must be prepared for reading. While the document is being
    analyzed, your assistive technology will not be able to interact with this application. '
    then it asked for Reading options
    then a checkbox for to confirm 'Always use the settings from the Reading Preferences (Do not show this dialog again)
    then 'OK/START' and 'cancel' buttons
    It seems, this is the problem with Adobe w.r.t Vista.
    thanks

  • Can no longer open PDF files from my emails sent from other websites. Problem seems to correlate with automatic upgrade of free adobe software (from version 11 to Reader DC)?

    Can no longer open PDF files from my emails sent from other websites. Problem seems to correlate with automatic upgrade of free adobe software (from version 11 to Reader DC)?

    To configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open PDF files:
    1. Quit Internet Explorer(any other browser)
    2. Start Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
    3. Choose Edit > Preferences.
    4. Select Internet in the list on the left.
    5. Deselect(Uncheck) Display PDF in Browser, and click OK.
    6. Restart Internet Explorer

  • Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
    Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
    and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
    Many thanks!

    I had to install adobe reader, but   PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
    Windows 8.1 pro.
    thx

    The problem is definitely between my safari and Adobe.

  • Unable to open PDF files from website

    hi friends,
    I am using iPad Air and iOS 7.1.2. When I tried to open PDF files from below site in safari,
    http://www.iar.com/Products/IAR-visualSTATE/User-guides/
    ftp://ftp.iar.se/WWWfiles/vs/QuickStartTutorial.pdf
    it shows error as "Safari can not open the page because it could not load any data".
    KIshore.

    Safari seems to have trouble with FTP sites.  You may need another Browser to open these PDFs.  Opera seems to Work.

    How to upload pdf file from windows cell phone?

    You can do this in steps.. First use the built in method for uploading a file into the flows files object, Next you would copy the file out to an Oracle built directory on your UNIX box using utl_file.put_raw..
