How to read pdf documents

As I am finding out after installing OS Lion, several applications don't work: Microsoft Office (2004) and Adobe Acrobat Reader. I have download Pages and Numbers so that problem is solved. What is the solution for reading PDF documents? Also for making changes to PDF documents?

In Mac OS X 10.6 PDF documents open up by default in Preview, I can't imagine it is any different in Lion.  If you have had Adobe Reader previously installed then this install may have been broken when Lion was installed (or is not compatible with Lion, very typical for Adobe to be behind with their development), so the default application for PDF files may have reverted to Adobe Reader 5 (which I seriously hope you do not still have installed).
You should be able to set the default application for PDF files to Preview (or what ever the equivalent is in Lion - Quickview?)
Personally I can't stand Adobe Reader, it's sluggish and buggy.
Unless you have the original documents that the PDFs were created from, you may require Adobe Acrobat Pro or similar piece of software in order to edit PDFs, I'm not aware that standard OS X applications can fully edit a PDF, though you may be able to paste snippets over the top of text and minor changes like that (then Print, Save to PDF, to generate a PDF from it again, although some PDFs may be locked and not allow this).

  • How to read pdf document on my BB 9300

    anyone knows how to read or download a software for read pdf documents

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    For the time that a PDF remains an email attachment, you can render it on the BB. Once detached or otherwise not an email attachment, the attachment service no comes into play...and you require a 3rd party app to render it. There are several. I suggest you search AppWorld and other search sources, compare the various alternatives, and select the one that best meets your needs. You will likely find the DataViz apps as well as BeamReader and perhaps others.
    Good luck!

  • New document alert: How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS

    Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) has been very helpful to many users of Adobe Reader for iOS.  However, Apple has drastically changed the user interface in iOS 7, which made the original document obsolete. 
    According to Apple Developer Support's App Store Distribution page, 89% of devices connected to the App Store are using iOS 7 during a 7‑day period ending June 29, 2014.
    Because of the exceptionally high iOS 7 adoption rate, Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.3 now supports iOS 7 only.
    Here are the new How-To documents for iOS 7.
    How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
    How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)
    (It had to be split into two separate documents because each contains way too many screenshots.)
    Hope these documents are as helpful as the original one.
    Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions on the topics for other help documents/tutorials.

    Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
    Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
    Thanks,
    Cam

  • How can I read pdf documents from SD card

    Is it (or will it be) possible to read pdf documents from SD card in Windows Phone 8?
    Thanks

    Yes, it is possible. You can create even a folder on SD card and put in it the pdf's. It is working on my lumia 620 with Adobe reader 10.3 version.. You insert the SD in the phone, connect the phone to the computer and you will see the phone and the SD under it.
    More....
    You drag your pdf's on the SD card. when you open the Adobe reader on the phone you go to the documents and here they are (with a small card icon near the document which shows you that the file is on the SD card.

  • How to link PDF document in Report Layout??

    I need to display the contents of PDF document after the form letter report. I tried OLE object but at the runtime it does not display the content. Does any one knows how to attach PDF document in reports layout?
    Thanks
    Ravindra

    you will have to concatinate your report output with the static PDF document. in reprots 10g you can create a cusotm destination that could implement this functionality.
    out of the box, reports does not provide the ability to add static content in PDF to reports' generated PDF output.

    How to read word document which is stored as BLOB column in table.
    I want to read it word by word.Please explain me how to raed using DBMS_lob
    package and substr,instr.

    You cannot. A Microsoft Word document is in a proprietary binary format. You cannot treat it as a text file and read "word-by-word" from it.
    As for examples - refer to the [url http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/toc.htm]Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference manual. It describes DBMS_LOB and its usage in detail.

    thank you!!!

    I would strongly recommend using one of the libraries that are available (Google). If you don't want to pay the (modest) costs of a commercial license, there are several open source projects with licenses that allow you to use them in commercial products.

  • How to read PDF files on your iphone in book format

    Hey everyone, I just posted a tutorial on how to read pdf files like ebooks on Stanza. Let me know if you have any questions
    http://budurl.com/u4tz
    That used to drive me crazy until I figured it out. Enjoy

    an easier way would be to wait until iOS 4 and then download the free iBooks app... you can import via the file sharing feature in iTunes (same that the iPad uses), or open the file from an email using the "open in" feature currently found on the iPad...

    ^ scroll down to the iphone with the subheading underneath saying "See what’s attached."

    Lily,
    I observe that you have declared lv_xml_data as TYPE xstring & string and get_data method probably expects data of xstring type.
    Have a look at the "Extract the Data" section from following [article.|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/c2567f2b-0b01-0010-b7b5-977cbf80665d&overridelayout=true]
