HT2506 Reviewing long notes on Preview PDF Viewer

How can I click between annotated notes on Preview when there are so many that they are hidden under each other and in the wrong order?

One way to see the path is to press the command key and click on the title of the Preview window. You will get a display of folders corresponding to the path to the file. If you click on the entry just below the title it will open the enclosing folder and show you the file in the Finder.
and there doesnt seem to be a 'get info' or "show file in finder option" ?
thanks
Once you have the folder selected in its folder (from the previous step) inside the Finder (not Preview), you can do the Get info thing.

Activating Toolbars in Preview PDF view

By default the Acrobat toolbars are disabled in the Preview PDF view. How do I turn the toolbars on?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, radzmar. The Esc key doesn't show the toolbars for me, though.
In Designer 7 there was a button to click to show the toolbars but I can't find it's equivalent in 8.2.

3D Reviewer - Configs Not Displayed in PDF

Hi,
I've been trialling the 3D Reviewer replacement for 3D Toolkit.
Imported my CAD data (I-Deas Assembly) and then created 3 configurations showing closed, open & exploded positions. I Like the accuracy of the new move/rotate tool - good stuff. However on saving to PDF I've come across a show stopper, the configs come through listed as PDF views but the part orientations within the configs do not, all parts are in the same orientation as the default config. This is with the latest Acrobat Reader.
Cheers
Neil

Hi Neil,
Thank you for your feedback and appreciation of the product.
There should be no problem with what you are trying to do.
The only tip I can give you is the following: in 3D Reviewer, after you create the view desired with the correct exploded positions and camera orientation right click on the view and lock it.
The way configurations work in 3D Reviewer is slightly different than in Acrobat/Reader 9. After you create a view in 3D Reviewer, the last state of the viewport when that view is selected will remain the persistent view and orientation for that view.
Let me know if this helps, otherwise I will post a short video of the steps for creating configurations with exploded positions and exporting to PDF.

E-mail Application not recognizing PDF Viewer on Pre

I am having trouble getting the e-mail application to open attached PDF files using the PDF viewer app. Any PDF file I attempt to open that was attached to an e-mail gives me an error message, "Cannot find an application which can open this file." I have taken the exact attached file from my PC, downloaded it to the PRE using a USB transfer, and am able to open it in PDF Viewer on the phone. I also tried to send myself a word document (.docx file), and was able to open and view that file through an E-mail attachment. I was previously able to open PDF files, and I assume I lost that functionality with the latest software update. I would appreciate any thoughts, or suggestions, as I am unsure if this is a software issue or something I can fix with some kind of settings. Thanks.

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I have the same problem with my PRE. However, I noticed that the viewer will open PDF documents produced by "Amyuni PDF converter". So, depending on which software is used, the PRE will open or not the PDF file. I have called Palm about this (in sept of 09) and they said they were looking into it. It would be nice indeed to have a PDF viewer which would open all PDFs.

Page will not open with default PDF viewer of preview

Installed adobe, did not like..removed. Now PDF page for local newspaper will not open default of preview reader, keeps looking for adobe. Want to make certain Preview is default PDF viewer, it look like it is..but how to get page to open like it did previous to installing/removing adobe.

Hi Berni
look in HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ & move/trash the Adobe PDF viewer plugin; restart any browsers & things should behave again.

Items visible in PDF Preview not visible in Design View

Hello-
I used the auto create function to turn an existing PDF info a fill-in able PDF. Auto create "auto detects" form fields, including in some areas of the form that are not fields at all (blank areas, etc.). I go into Design View and remove any extra fields. However, I've discovered there are some fill-inable fields visible in PDF Preview and in the actual PDF itself (once saved) that are not visible at all in Design View- thus I can't click on them and delete them- they just aren't visible in that view. I've read the forums and it seems the opposite problem is more common, in which something shows in Design View but does not show in PDF Preview or in the final PDF.
Any guidance on what's going on? Next steps? I'm not a coder, so the simpler the better. Thanks to anyone with suggestions.

All the fields on your form are listed in the Hierarchy which is generally on the left-hand side of your screen. In there you should be able to go through each field and delete the ones you don't need.

How do i Restore Preview as my default viewer when using Safari,seems adobe has hi jacked Safari,if i uninstall adobe safari will not open any pdf files.

How do i restore Preview as my default viewer.
Seems adobe has hi-jacked Safari and and opens using abobe not preview.
Have uninstalled adobe but safari then will not display any pdf files.
Preview still works fine to view existing downloaded files.

Niac --
What kind of files? PDFs? or Others as well?
If you want Preview to open all PDFs, then find a PDF on your HD.
Highlight it, and then press the Apple/Comand key along with th letter " i " key.
When the window comes up, look down to the "Open with" line, and change it from Adobe to Preview.
Then look slightly below, and select "Change All."
Now, all PDFs should open with Preview.

Preview.app will not display some PDF files

Since upgrading Yosemite I have found that Preview.app will not display some PDF documents, the documents open but all the pages are blank. This is a big issue as my work involves reviewing documents that are all in the PDF format. Strangely some PDFs work properly but I haven't been able to determine any common factors among the documents that work versus those that don't work. The problem documents do open correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader but Reader takes over viewing of PDF container fields I have in several important FileMaker Pro 13 databases. Acrobat in the FileMaker databases for me is just as much of a problem as not viewing PDFs in Preview.
After searching the forums I followed suggestion in a post to try using version 7.0 of Preview.app (the version that worked under Mavericks) but that is also showing blank pages. I have noticed that the PDFs which open as blank pages also display that way in Finder and Spotlight previews. Could this mean that I have some kind of OS level issue here and not a Preview.app issue? Perhaps Finder and Spotlight use Preview.app to generate the preview.
I have posted this in a bug report to Apple but in the meantime I would welcome any suggestions or workarounds to try.

The built-in PDF renderer has trouble with that file. You might get better results with Adobe Reader.

Restoring Preview as default pdf viewer in Safari

Hi,
I mistakenly set Acrobat 7 as my default pdf viewer in Safari and now cannot change back to preview. I tried to click on a pdf doc and set preview as the default, but that doesn't work for pdf files that I need to download.
I reset Safari, and now it no longer asks me to choose an Acrobat to use, but will not display the download, most likely because it is trying to use Acrobat 5.0 that is installed and is incompatable with Safari.
I just want preview back. Does anyone know how to do this?
thanks in advance for your help.
Amy

Tuttle,
THANK YOU!!!!!!
I was going crazy trying to figure that out. Most of my pdfs (scientific papers)don't print well from Adobe. I have a LaserWriter 4/600 PS that I hooked up to my Airport Express via a crossover ethernet/Farallon system.
I'm writing a paper and really need to be able to do this.
Thanks for the quick reply. You continue to save me.....

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if it frightens you, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Table not showing up in Preview PDF

Hello all,
I am having an issue with a form that I am making in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES.
The project that I am working on deals with making a standarized quoteing template to make getting quotes out faster and whatnot.
The particular quote template that i am making will have the same information in the table for the Description column.
So I made the table using the Insert Table wizard and added the information that will not change from quote to quote. *I took actual info off for legal reasons*
So I got the table looking the way i wanted it to, and thought great let me check it out in the "Preview PDF" tab. So I clicked the preview tab and scrolled down to the table and only the headings show up "/ *You will see this in the pictures below*
In "Design View".
In "Preview PDF".
Any ideas?
I would appreciate any help that you guys can give me!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks pguerett,
I sent over an email to the above address. Thanks for your help.
Hopefully this issue is solved for me soon
Thank you

Adjusting preferences in Preview for viewing pdfs

I would like to have the option to view the 1st page of my pdf next to the second page - not on its own (eg currently, for a 5 page document, mine only shows up as page 1, then p2+3, then P4+5. I would like it to show up at p1+2, then P3+4 then P5, etc. I know how to click between 1 page, and 2 pages and 2 pages continuous, but the 1st page is always on its own for all options.....I understand that in Adobe, you can set preferences for page set ups for viewing your pdf, which includes showig the 1st page with the next one:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd6151097941 95ff-7faf.w.html
However, the instruction for Apple is not working for me. My computer uses Preview and I do not see these options set out. I found another forum where this problem was discussed, but it was archived before being resolved and I am unable to find the new trail....
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
In Preview's View Menu there is PDF display.
The Two Pages option places two pages side by side.
However I have found it is not consistent with different PDFs.
(I also set the Preferences to 50% for PDF display)
Example
It seems to works once you are past the first page (Although I do have a 2 page document where it does not work).

Search in saved preview .pdf files not working any more

When I download a .pdf file from the internet and open it in preview, the search command works ok. When this same file is saved to disk and opened again, search is not working any more. Is this a bug, or my fault. Regards Rolf

Hi,
I hope this helps...
A while back we have more than one browser running on our PC (IE, Firefox, Chrome) and we messed by how Acrobat views documents over the web.
I think that this has some relevance here, as around this time LC also started falling over previewing forms.
Now if we open LC and Acrobat is not running, the "Preview PDF" is not present or accessible. So now we fire up Acrobat before we open a form in LC Designer and the preview tab is there and functioning.
Not much of a workaround; but I am hoping that someone will have a better one!!!
Good luck,
Niall

FREE3OF9 barcode font not displaying in Firefox's new built-in PDF viewer

I have a PHP web app that uses FPDF (v1.53) and the FREE3OF9 barcode font to dynamically generate a PDF which includes a barcode in it. The font is imported into the document using the FPDF AddFont method (http://fpdf.org/en/doc/addfont.htm). In versions of Firefox prior to 19, the PDF opened in a new tab, was displayed by the Adobe Acrobat plugin, and the barcode showed up perfectly fine.
Now that Firefox 19.0 is using its own built-in PDF viewer, the barcode no longer displays at all -- there's just a blank spot where it should be. It continues to display fine in IE and Chrome. How I can get the font to display correctly in the newest version of Firefox?
I understand that I can change the Action for the PDF content type to 'Use Adobe Reader' in the options, but I'd prefer to fix this so that my users don't have to change their browser settings. Or at the very least, it would be nice if they could only change the Action for PDFs originating from my site and not globally.
Thanks.

You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.
