HT2506 "Find next" with a PDF document

I would like to use the "Find next string" of a PDF document with Preview.
When i fill the search window, Preview does the search on the entire document, and shows the first occurence it has found. Thus, making me loose my current reading page.
I just want to do a forward search !
Thank you

Use Adobe Reader - http://get.adobe.com/reader/.
Preview is just horrible, to my way of thinking and working, with PDF files.

I have an issue with some PDF documents some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying on iPhones, iPad 2s

Hi,
I have an issue with some PDF documents & some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying properly on iPhones, iPad 2s & new iPads?
PDF docs - areas of the doc only show as grey splotches regardles of viewer
MS Word Docs -
inserted graphics don't display at all,
tables & lists especially with borders are broken &
tables & lists missing the borders &
tables & lists missing the 1st 1-2 lines of the lists/tables.
This is replicated on iPhone 4s, iPhone 4Ss, iPad 2s, iPad new (x2)
It certainly happens in iOS 5.1.1 & iOS 5.1
We believe it all worked aok in iOS 5.0.1(?) & prior
There is no problems reading/seeing these PDF & Word docs on anything other than iDevices.
This is rather critical for us & if not quickly fixed/rectified will prevent us from further purchases of these devices
Rolling back to iOS 5.0.1 or prior I believe isn't possible because of the BaseBand update(?) & isn't much of an option because of the quite noticeable Battery/Charging/WiFi improvements in 5.1 & 5.1.1

Hi,
I logged a call with AppleCare & have since had explained why this occurs (some time ago)
I'll try to explain what was indicated to me.
iOS has a limited Font Set & this affects what PDFs can display. You need to use iOS supported fonts in your PDFs to see/read them properly
These supported fonts are indicated here => http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4980
Regards MS office docs, iOS doesn't have much of an API to work with MS Office documents at all so is stuck with 3rd Party Apps to try to do it.
Unfortunately Mail in/on iOS uses the API to attempt to open/use MS Office attachments unless you tell it to use an App to open the attachment.
I have had success opening & reading MS office docs now with CloudOn, but find it slow & very awkward to use.
Not too sure if this helps others, but at least it explains why this is occurring

How to get Font's associated with a pdf document.

Hi All,
I am currently working on a project related to Document Management in SAP. For this I have a set of pdf document's that needs to be classified as 'searchable' and 'Non-searchable'. I am planning to identify the document based on Font contents i.e a searchable document has some font associated with it, and non-searchable documents do not have any font associated with it.
I am trying to use the class cl_fp_pdf_object and get the information about font. I see that there is no function which gives me this information directly. Is there any way to get font information of a pdf documents using classes ? or Is there any way to identify directly weather a document is searchable or not ? Please help.
DATA: l_fp          TYPE REF TO if_fp,
           l_pdfobj      TYPE REF TO if_fp_pdf_object.
    Create PDF Object.
      l_pdfobj = l_fp->create_pdf_object( connection = p_dest ).
    Set document.
      l_pdfobj->set_document( pdfdata = l_pdf ).
    Set task to get metadata.
      l_pdfobj->set_task_getmetadata( ).
    Execute, call ADS.
      l_pdfobj->execute( ).
Thanks
Aditya

Just curious....why would you make "font" the basis of that classification?

Problem with linking PDF documents using named destinations

Linking from one PDF document to another PDF document using named destinations viewed in Reader works great but once the documents are viewed inside a browser environment the link will only open the go to document and will not go to the named destination.
If I make the links using the page number - yes they will work perfectly in the browser. But my problem is that the documents may change in the future and the links may be on differnt pages, so I need to use named destinations to bring me to the page of the PDF they are on.
Any suggestions? I need them to work in IE.
Thanks

You can link to a named destination with a URL. This might work better in
your case... To do it use the following format:
http://example.org/doc.pdf#nameddest=Chapter6

Please Help with Converting PDF document to Word Document

I have downloaded our PDF document to be converted to a word document --- it did not work correctly--we need help with this
Scott Munsen
Abbott House -- Mitchell, SD

Good day Scott,
I received your document via our File Conversion Issue form. The root of the problem you're facing is the quality of the scan. I'm not sure if you were starting with a poor quality hard-copy or simply low DPI settings on your scanner, but the reason the results you received were so different than the PDF was the quality of the input.
If you're hard copy looks clearer than the PDF file you created, I would suggest increasing the resolution settings on your scanner.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
David

Sudden printing problems with scanned pdf documents

Hi, I suddenly experience problems when I want to print scanned pdf documents.
Since 2 years, I am using an iMac with a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M and a Samsung ML-2525W. I also use Acrobat Pro 9.0 provided with the scanner. I scan documents, save them as pdfs and print them. Worked fine until just recently. If I print scanned pdf documents, the printer give white pages. Other pdf documents get printed without problems.
I use OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) and ScanSnap Manager 3.2.L63.
Any advice is highly appreciated

Hi Roger - the problem was going from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8. That is when all of the printing problems began, as well as the wifi getting flaky. I was able to get the iMac speaking politely to the printer by installing Repair 10.6.8 and re-adding the Canon printer (see below):
Printer “failure”
Probably the single most common 10.6.8 problem, at least as evidenced by a massive 17 page thread in Apple Support Communities, is a failure to print. The typical symptom is that the printer driver software pauses, displaying a message that states something like: “printer-state-message="/usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd failed" or “/usr/libexec/cups/backend/dnssd failed.” Not all printers have this problem, but users report seeing the symptom in a variety of different printers.
As is often the case with update-related problems, reinstalling 10.6.8 from the combo updater may eradicate the symptom. Another possible solution is modifying a printer file in the /etc/cups/ppd directory (as detailed in the above-linked thread).
Unfortunately, none of these solutions are guaranteed to work. What does reliably fix the problem is to downgrade back to 10.6.7. If you’d rather stick with 10.6.8, you can instead downgrade just the quartet of printer-related files that appear to be the root cause of the symptom. These are the socket, dnssd, lpd and ipp files, located in the /usr/libexec/cups/backend directory.
A Mac user wrote an application, Repair10.6.8 (direct download link), that automatically downgrades these four files for you. Several users report success with this program. After running the Repair app, you may also need to “reset printing system” by selecting the command from the contextual menu for the printer name in the Print & Fax System Preferences pane.

HT2506 After I save my pdf document, the links to different pages within the pdf take me to the wrong page. How do I fix it?

After I save my pdf document, the links to different pages within the pdf take me to the wrong page. How do I fix it?

May you please elaborate... How are you creating the pdf documents (procedure, software, etc.)? How are you inserting links into your documents?... etc., etc.

How can I find tables in a PDF document?

When I fun a full accessibility check, it tells me that I have problems with some tables in the document. The current error that concerns me is this:
"(g) 6 Table element(s) with no TH child elements."
The document originally contained a number of tables. I examined them all for possible offenses, but couldn't find anything wrong.
So I deleted the pages containing the tables, and I still get the error.
There are no other tables in the document, at least that I'm able to see. And if I scan sub-ranges (e.g., 1-17, 18-33), the scan comes back clean for tables. So I'm forced to conclude that the tables aren't actually part of any page.
Hence the question: how can I find the offending tables and remove them?

Tags are independent of PDF page content. Removing/deleting a page or page(s) does not remove anything in the PDF's structure tree.
As Full Check is looking at the structure tree the report reflects what is present there.
In the Tags panel walk the structure tree to locate the Table tags. Delete these.
Be well...

Oracle PL/SQL or JavaScript Interaction with a PDF Document

I'm new to LiveCycle - be gentle. . . :-)
My department is attempting to develop a web application which will, among other things, generate fixed layout forms filled with data from the database or from an application web page. The web pages for this application will be served via stored procedures from an Oracle database through a dedicated web server - that is, the web pages are actually contained within stored procedures called by the browser through the web server (we're sort of an odd-ball shop, serving pages this way, but Oracle does lend itself well to this technique). We are exploring the feasibility of using LiveCycle to design the fixed layout forms without having to form a connection to the database from within the document or PDF viewer. We are currently using Crystal Reports to generate forms or reports but we are trying to get away from it due to implementation difficulties, dependability and connection issues and the fact that a license for a Crystal Reports viewer must be purchased for everyone who needs to view the reports.
Is it possible to add a JavaScript snippet to an existing PDF form template from within an Oracle stored procedure to accomplish this (this appears to be the simplest solution to me)? The solution can be either PL/SQL or JavaScript based. Barring that, is it possible to merge data into PDF form fields before the document is sent to the browser?
After several hours of searching through Google in general and the Adobe forums in particular, the closest possibilities I can find is XPAAJ or maybe the LiveCycle PDF Generator service that comes with LiveCycle - I'll be researching those approaches to determine their feasibility. In the meantime, suggestions for simpler approaches would be welcome. Thanks in advance.
Woody

A quick glance at PDF Generator shows that it doesn't handle document access, only document conversion. XPAAJ looks promising, but appears to require Java programming knowledge to utilize it - we're not a Java shop. I'll investigate further, see if the XPAAJ interface is available to other languages.

Hourglass next to each PDF document in Explorer

Hi! I am using Acrobat X and running XP Pro SP3. When I am Windows Explorer, whenever I highlight a PDF file with the cursor, the cursor turns into a hourglass for a second or two. Is this normal behavior? If so, can I disable it? I does not happen with any other file in Explorer (only PDF ones). This behavior has never happened to me before with Acrobat 7 and Acrobat Reader 8 and 9. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi
I didnt say abything about a email.
All i need is somehow get document from opened adobe reader in internet explorer (or other browsers) and send it somewhere.
I realize the javascript is bad way, i have access to pdf object, but i cannost send it from javascript. Javascript cant serialize the pdf object and send him to web service (no this is not email). So maybe the activex is better way, but i didnt find in adobe reader API something like getDocument() method i can call from web page.
Very thx for answer.

Can I print the last page of a PDF document using command line?

Hi
I am in a situation in which I constantly have to deal with multiple PDF documents and I need to print the last page in each of these, and ONLY the last page. The total number of pages will vary for each file, so the page number for the last page will also vary.
I would really prefer to not do this manually, by opening up each file in the visible Adobe Reader window and then print.
Question:
Is there a way with Adobe Reader (maybe with the help of some other Adobe product) to print only the last page of a PDF document using some kind of command line without opening up the PDF file in the visible Adobe Reader window?
I'm using Windows.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Emil

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I tried both ways and neither works. It gives me a prompt box that I have to click "next" for every page but after going thru all pages, nothing is sent to the printer.
Also, all directions I've read indicate it will print to the default printer. If my default printer is on a network, will that cause problems....
and...
should I be getting a prompt box on every page? I thought all this would happen behind the scenes and not force me to interact with every page.

Some PDF Documents are Missing Letters when Printing

We use a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (64-bit) server as our print server. Ever since we moved our printers to this server, several of our existing PDF documents have missing letters when they print. If you modify your print properties and choose "Print as Image", the documents print correctly with no missing letters.
The missing letters seem to come in specific combinations, such as ti, ft, fa, etc.
Our previous print server was a Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) machine and these documents all printed fine on that server.
Are there any known issues with printing PDF documents on a 64-bit print server, or with 64-bit drivers?
Thank you for your time,
Jason

This response will hopefully help you towards a solution—I have not encountered the specific problem you are facing.
The image you posted shows the fonts that are embedded in your document: both Calibri and Myriad Pro. However, the second instance of Calibri indicates that some some of the Calibri characters were encoded differently, and I suspect based on the combo characters you listed, these are glyphs and are what your printer is having trouble processing.
The usual solution for print server issues is to make sure all drivers and firmware are updated.
The answer to your question regarding embedding fonts completely is to change your Adobe pdf print preferences to embed all fonts, not just a subset. This must be done when the pdf is being created initially. You can change font embedding by choosing a joboption like Press Quality that includes full font embedding or by modifying the joboption you are already using. In Windows, you can do this at the time of print by selecting the Advanced button next to the printer selection dropdown and changing settings there, in advance by modifying the printing preferences from your printers menu, or by editing the joboptions in Acrobat Distiller.
