I am unable to upload a pdf file to a website, although the file does upload using IE or Chrome

I receive an error message “Error - File type must be pdf.” when I try to upload a file that definitely is type pdf. I am authorized to upload to the site. Html files do upload correctly. Using IE8 my pdf files upload correctly, Also files can be uploaded using the Chrome browser. Problem exists no matter how pdf file is created - scanned, published from word or wordperfect, or modified in Adobe Acrobat. File size is fairly small, less than 50KB.

There is absolutely no way to stop any file you put on the internet from being downloaded. That's how the internet works.
Digital Rights Management can control who can OPEN a copy of a file and when. If you are a big company with 5-6 figure budget, this can be interesting.

    According to your User Agent you posted this question using Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1. Are you having a problem with Firefox? What Firefox version?
    You said you are having a problem opening PDF files on your system. Can you explain that better? Mozilla Support can help you with opening PDF files in Firefox, which uses a built-in PDF reader. Maybe one of these articles will help?

  • I am unable to convert a pdf file to word as I get the error message indicates it contains XFA forms

    I am unable to convert a pdf file to word as I get the error message that pdf files containing XFA forms cannot be saved to the specified format.

    Hi curtlea,
    XFA forms are not regular PDF's but XML files in a PDF shell.
    To create a word file from those files, you first have to flatten the XFA forms by printing as PDF with the Adobe PDF Printer.
    Then you can save using ExportPDF the created static PDF as Word document.

  • Unable to view scanned PDF files

    I registered for Adobe ExportPDF in February. Since then Adobe on my PC was upgraded, and now I am unable to view scanned PDF files. What can be done about this?
    Thanks

    Hi David
    The update that was done in response to a prompt was done to 10.1.9. Something apparently went wrong, because when I uninstalled it and reinstalled 11.0.06 everything worked fine.
    Thanks

  • Unable to open large pdf files..

    I'm holding an E61 pda-phone. I downloaded acrobat reader v1.5. However, i still unable to view large pdf files, anyone pls advise... Thks

    My guess is you're running out of memory when you load the file: is it bigger than the memory the phone has available before you try to open it?
    You may be able to get around the problem by reducing the amount of phone memory in use: close any other applications you have running and move non-system files (documents, music, photos) from phone memory to card memory.

  • Unable to download a pdf file. received message-problem with program with acrobat reader-103-103

    Download the file with your web browser (Safari, Firefox, Chrome). Then attempt to open the PDF file in Reader or Acrobat.
    It may not be a real PDF file, or it may be damaged.

    hi,
    I had used custom adapter module for creating the PDF file.
    you have to use java mapping if you want to create pdf without using adapter module.
    You need to import iText library available at http://itextpdf.com/.
    How to use external jar files ??
    External Jar files in UDF
    code may look like this:
    import java.io.BufferedReader;
    import java.io.InputStream;
    import java.io.InputStreamReader;
    import java.io.Reader;
    //1. AbstractTransformation class is imported.
    // The associated jar file is: com.sap.xpi.ib.mapping.lib.jar
    import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.AbstractTransformation;
    import  com.sap.aii.mapping.api.DynamicConfiguration;
    import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.DynamicConfigurationKey;
    import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.StreamTransformationException;
    import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.TransformationInput;
    import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.TransformationOutput;
    import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.InputHeader;
    public class xyz extends AbstractTransformation {
    public void transform(TransformationInput inp, TransformationOutput out) throws StreamTransformationException {

                         InputStream inData = inp.getInputPayload().getInputStream();

    Hi.. I found the JDIC binary files. There are different binaries for all the plateform. Is there any solution which is independent of plateform.Yes, and we already told you: Use JDK6, which has those libraries built into the standard class library.
    How can I use these binaries in my existing project. does it work, If I place them at same place where other .class files are kept.Read the documentation of the JDIC project. I'm sure they answer this question in their FAQ.

    when I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to.  Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty.  How can I get it to show each page again?

    Hi chrismarks1,
    I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.
    Best,

  • How can I convert .pdf file to .doc using the free adobe reader app? when I try to convert the .pdf file it asks me to sign in. when I click on "sign in", I am taken to a service subscription page. So, no free conversions using free adobe reader app?

    As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
    What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF  to Word export.
    There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.
    Be well...

  • In quick view mode, why can't I enlarge pdf files like it used to?

    When I use quick view mode by pressing space bar when I have selected a file, say pdf files, I could used  to stretch the corners to get the page larger. But now, in Lion, it doesn't behave like that anymore. The page stays the same size however wide I stretch the quick view window. Is there an option to fixing this? Or is this intended? It is very bad indeed!

    The Adobe Reader plugin may not be working properly on Mac.
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/pdf-files-are-blank-and-cant-be-downloaded-mac
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Opening+PDF+files+within+Firefox
    Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
    PDF files may be found under entries like Portable document or Adobe PDF document or Adobe Acrobat Document.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
