HTML link to pdf works ok on Mac but not on ipad. Adobe Reader for ipad downloaded. What's wrong?

Hi pwillener,
Thank for reply. The pdf’s are in a subfolder “PDF” of the folder holding the web page. The web page itself uses
. This works in full size computer browsers but not in an iPad.
My excursion through the search engine has produced the idea of adding #page = requesting page to the URL but I have not had time to try it perhaps without the = sign.

Can I force Mac O/S to use Adobe Reader for a downloaded file?

We are having problems with students who use Macs downloading PDF forms from our website and then saving them from Preview instead of Reader. There is a known bug in Preview on the Mac O/S, in that it corrupts PDF forms when it saves them. So when these students upload, the files don't work properly. I would like to do something (perhaps setting a special MIME type?) that would force the Safari browser to open the file using Adobe Reader instead of Preview. Is there a way to do this?

As Michael says, no. However you can go into each computer while no students in the Room/Lab open a Group of PDF and from finder choose Get summary info. then click on open with and choose Acrobat or Reader.
see this: http://www.screencast.com/t/rUKY3wdeEq
Now click on the button below with title Change All then quit out of get info.
Now when they download and open PDF's they will automatically open with Reader.
You have to select a group of at least 5 or 6. And make sure any saved PDF have a mix of PDF icons (Adobe and preview).
Do with each computer affected.

Please help! My I-pod touch works on a Mac but not a PC.

I have CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2010, version 6.0.0.264.
I was wondering about that one in particular.
Try configuring you CA as per kalda01's instructions in this post:

(Sometimes switching the security software off doesn't help, but doing the configuration does help. Not sure what's afoot with that, but it has happened with other security-package problems with iTunes in the past.)

My apple id password only works on my mac but not on my iPhone or iPad

my apple id password only works on my mac but not on my iPhone or iPad what do i do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

You do know that the controls for AirPlay have been moved in iOS7, correct?
Is that what you are asking about here? If yes, you might want to read up a bit on the changes in iOS7.

Adobe Reader for Mac vs. Adobe Reader for iPad

Hi,
I have a problem with Adobe Reader for iPad. The pdf-file works perfect with Acrobat Reader on my iMac.
The pdf-file has an option to change a number of parameters in counting the total cost for owning a car.
Obviously, there is some interactivity function inbedded in the file.
When I opened the same pdf-file in Adobe Reader app for iPad the functionality is lost and it shows just
a blank page.
Has anyone an explanation of this problem or suggestions of a solution?
I have tried different pdf-apps i.e. Goodreader without any solution.
Can the problem be Flash-related?
Best regards
Janne

Custom Dashcode widget works fine on mac, but not in iBooks

I wrote a dashcode widget that works fine on my mac but not in iBooks, what am I doing wrong?
I am trying to create a widget that performs a specific calculation when the user inputs the 2 variables. However when I go to preview it on my iPad, the button that performs the calculation disapears. It is visible in the thumbnail, but once you launch to full size... bye bye...
Help is appreciated. Are buttons not allowed?

it sets the size of the widget when displayed as a widget full screen or whatever size the png is
That is not correct. What sets the size of the widget when it runs is the canvas size of the widget, not Default.png.
At the link below, you can find a widget with a Default.png of 140x200 pixels. When you run the widget, it displays at 900x607 pixels.

This demonstrates that Default.png has nothing to do with the size of the widget when it runs. Default.png need not even have the same aspect ratio as the widget canvas.

Forms work on my Mac but not on my PC? "Operation is not permitted"

I created a form but it tells the user "operation is not permitted" when the submit button is pressed and also doesn't allow the user to access the any of the field to type their information in.
It is very frustrating for me as I need the form to work so I can upload it to the clients website and get paid. It is particularly frustrating when it works on my Macbook Pro but wont work on my PC or the millions of PC out there.
This is how I made the PDF. And I also made using the same process a test, blank page PDF with 1 text field and 1 submit button and nothing else.
1. Mad the form in Illustrator
2. Exported it as PDF
3. Made the form fields
4. Made the Submit button
5. Enabled usage rights for Adobe Reader
6. Saved file
7. Uploaded the file
8. Works on Mac and not on PC
Can someone please help. I have spent numerous hours and searches on it, It's driving me crazy.
Anyone from Adobe care to help? Probably not.

Looks like there is something wrong with my PC.
The PDF form worked fine on the clients computer. It seems like the only place it wouldn't work is on my PC. So I am assuming it's a problem with my computer.
Don't know what it could be though, I have the latest version of reader and it's a new computer.
From one problem to another...story of my life...:)
At least it's working at clients end.
Thanks for trying to help MarkATS

Why does my WD Passport work on my Mac but Not on my PC?

So i just bought a MacBook Pro and I have been a PC user forever. This is my 1st time owning a Mac and Im not sure if this is my bad or an issue with the hard drive... So heres what happened... I have a 160 GB WD Passport and I had it Windows formatted originally. When I got my MacBook Pro I decided to reformat the drive to use exclusively for data transfers of large files between my MacBook and my Windows desktop PC. I'm very computer savvy and have been building PC's for years now and as far as I can tell I formatted the drive into the correct format. I used my MacBook to do the formatting and using Disk Utility I erased and reformatted the drive into FAT as thats the only format thats the utility allows that is windows compatible. After I did that I made sure the drive was partitioned correctly and all was working on the MacBook. I was able to read and write file to the drive using the MacBook with no issues. When I went to plug the drive into my Windows PC the drive would not be recognized at all. The light on the drive turns on and just blinks on and off once every second or so. So now that you know the situation I guess the question is... Did I do something wrong? How do I fix this so the Hard Drive will be compatible on both Operating systems? if any body know the answer to this please help me because I cannot figure this out for the life of me. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
sounds to me like when you reformated the harddisk with Disk Utility the GPT (GUID Partition Table) was used.
Check with Disk Utility to verify.
Windows can not see/use harddisk that are using GPT.
If possible, reformat the harddisk with Disk Utility, use MS-DOS (=FAT32) and use the 'Options' to set the partition table to be MBR (Master Boot Record).
(Caution, this deletes everything that is on that harddisk
That way both OSX and Windows can use the harddisk.
You are aware that with FAT32 you have a single-file size limitation of around 4GB.
Regards
Stefan

ICloud works on my Mac but not my iPhone 4

I Reset my iCloud password on my Mac book and iPhone 4. After resetting the password twice, iCloud
works on my Mac book, but not my iPhone. What should I do?

What I meant was is there an Apple ID (not yours) in there.
Did you try Settings > iCloud > scroll to the bottom and tap the red Sign Out?

My mac will not open the adobe reader, it shows a foreign language in the response box when I try to open up something from the internet?

Please help, My Mac will not open when I rtry to download something from the internet, a box with foreign language appears in the textbox?

I have seen this a couple of times over the last few days here in the forum; the Reader 11.0.7 plugin for Mac displays the message in Japanese. Here is the English translation.
Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement then quit and relaunch the browser.
Do it, and the message will disappear.

Back button in Adobe reader for iPAD pdfs

Two problems:
1 If I use a link in my pdf to an internet web site, how can I get back to Adobe Reader without quitting and restarting.
2. When I use a reference link to an entry at the end of the document I cannot go back to the text position with a single button push.

When a link takes you to another app, you can use the App Switcher on the iPad. Just double-click the Home button, and select Adobe Reader from the horizontal list of recent apps.
A Back button in the Reader app is a good idea, and is a feature request for future versions of Reader. I use it all the time on my laptop version of Acrobat/Reader.

Fillable Form will not print from Adobe Reader on iPad or iPhone - Works on a PC

I created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I saved it giving it full Adobe Reader capabilities. I emailed it to myself and a friend so that we could open it up on our iPad and iPhone using Adobe Reader, fill in the information and then print the document. When we send to print, it only prints the form, but not anything we entered. When I opened the document in Adobe Reader on my Dell PC, it worked fine and I could print the document including everything that I entered. What could the glitch be with iPad and iPhone. We are running the latest IOS6 version with Adobe Reader installed. Why won't this work?

It should work with the update to Reader 10.4. "Enhaned compatibility with AirPrint means improved printing of completed forms as well as documents with comments."
I don't have AirPrint on my printer to test. Is your printer AirPrint compatible?
I can get it to work with Printer Pro which I'm running on my iPad.

Do the iOS devices connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Do the iOS devices see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Airport Express works with my Mac but not XP Pro

Hello I have an Airport Express that I set up and use with my G4 laptop flawlessly.
My Problem is trying to get my PC, running XP Pro, to play-nice with the Airport Express.
The nutty thing is that this set up was working perfectly for months and then quit for some reason. Anyway, the I use WEP encryption and I have the same passwords set for both computers. Now, the PC sees the AE and is apparently able to connect with it but gives the alert that it has only limited connectivity and functionality with the network. Strange...
Now, as far as I can tell there are two passwords to the AE. One is the Base Station password and the other one is for the encryption. The PC never seems to ask for the Base Station password which seems odd. As I said before, this worked well at one time (with WEP) so I don't know what's going on. I also obviously don't know XP at all so I apologize. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
-B

Thanks for the link. I have set the AE to use WPA encryption using a 13 character plain-text network key password. I'm led to believe that this would be a palateable password for both the Mac and PC...of course this doesn't fix things. I should know that simply entering the same network key on both computers would not work. That would be too easy... Well now, in XP under Network Properties it only offers WEP or None for Data Encryption. This is weird right? Thanks a lot for all your help.
