Thank you and it would appear that it should work, but I must click on the
Comment Box far top right;
When choosing Text, I receive the "Failed to load Application resource
(internal Error).
I have looked for updates, none available. I have also clicked on repair
installation.
What should I do next?

How do I insert a downloadable pdf file?

That's my question... simple I hope!
How do I insert a downloadable pdf file?

On your web page select the text ot the object you want to link the pdf-file to.
Then open the Inspector window (View -> Show Inspector or alt-cmd-I) and open the Hyperlink tab (marked by the blue arrow).
Select "enable as Hyper link" and set the "Link to" selector to "a file".
In the File chooser select your pdf-file.
If your file is large, you might set the selector to "an external link". Then you enter the URL and it is would be your responsebility to upload the file to its site.

How to write a unicode text in pdf file

Dear Friends,
I am a beginner in acrobat pdf plug-in development. I was trying to write a unicode text (Tamil text) into pdf file.
Using same api I am able to write english text in time-roman, areal etc fonts. But I am not able to write tamil texts.
The code is as below:
        memset(&pdeFontAttrs, 0, sizeof(pdeFontAttrs));
        pdeFontAttrs.name = ASAtomFromString("Latha");
        pdeFontAttrs.type = ASAtomFromString("TrueType");
        pdeFont    = PDEFontCreateFromSysFont(                                        \
                        PDFindSysFont(&pdeFontAttrs, sizeof(pdeFontAttrs), 0),    \
                        kPDEFontCreateEmbedded);
        pdeText = PDETextCreate();
        PDETextAdd(pdeText, kPDETextRun, 0, (ASUInt8 *)buffer, _tcslen(buffer),
                                pdeFont, &gState, sizeof(gState), NULL, 0, &textMatrix, NULL);
        PDEContentAddElem(pdeContent, kPDEAfterLast, (PDEElement)pdeText);
        PDPageSetPDEContent(pdPage, gExtensionID);
        PDPageReleasePDEContent (pdPage, gExtensionID);
KIndly assume that PDEGraphicsState and PDETextMatrix are set properly set, I am not pasting entire code to avoid complexity.
Thank you,
Safiq

Dear lrosenth,
I went through some codes/suggestions in internet and I found that I need to have cmap file and cid font file for the respective font since pdf doesn't support unicode fonts directly.
Can you help me to know where can I get cmap file and cid font file for tamil language font Latha(TrueType) microsoft font.

Why can't I "Save as Text" a pdf file received as an email attachment?

I can "Save as text" a pdf file which I have created in my own computer (that is, it goes into MS notebook that I then can Copy and Save as an MS Word file) but not when I receive a pdf as an email attachment. (The file is saved, but it is empty.) Why would I want to convert my own pdf back to text? Well, in case I no longer have the original Word document I suppose, but the thing is "Save as text" works with my pdf, but not with those I recieve from others. How come? Thanks!

Is this a scanned PDF? If so, it must first be OCR'd.

Why can't I insert a 3D pdf file in an InDesign Document?

I am working on a presentation for a client and need to insert some 3D pdf files to it but I always get an error message from OnDesing.
What should I do?

Indesign doesn't support it. https://forums.adobe.com/thread/299199?start=0&tstart=0
You could add the 3d pdf pages after you've created the indesign file - using acrobat to insert pages.

Read text in pdf files

Hi Ppl,
Is it possible to read text from pdf file ? We can use activex controls to open and display pdf files, but these activex doesn seem to support reading of text from these pdf files. Help me out plz.
Thanks

The full PDF format is VERY complex. Probably the reason why PDFBox was choking on one of the PDF files of a former poster. You are of course free to implement a PDF parser in LabVIEW but expect this to be a project where a man year of effort certainly won't be enough to even get close to what PDFBox can do. Then decide if you want to give it away for free just for the good karma of it, or attempt to sell it with a potential of maybe one license every year.
Just look at the opposite direction: Creating a PDF file from within LabVIEW. There are several Toolkits out there who can do that and they already took a considerable amount of time to develop. Yet the generation of a small subset of PDF features in a file is several exponents easier than parsing and interpreting any exisiting PDF document that might have been created by tools like Adobe Acrobate, with Adobe as the creater of PDF potentially using all the bells and whistles they eventually put into the PDF standard over those two or more decades, including quite a few bugs that eventually got documented as a feature.

I recently had to do a job in powerpoint that required inserting jpeg files. The only way I found was to use the insert menu, down to picture and 'from file' to choose the image.
This worked every time without error for over 120 slides.

Adobe Reader does not allow editing the text of a PDF document. You will need to get Acrobat on your Windows or Mac to do that.

Insert/link a PDF file in MM02 transaction.

hi
I would like to know if it is possible to insert/link a PDF file in MM02 transaction.
Please let me now something.

Hi Vale,
I think that it would be possible to insert the pdf file to the MM02 transaction: Please try following the below steps:
1) Follow the path : MM02 -> System -> Service for Object -> Create -> Create External Document (URL).
2) You will get a popup saying "Create a link for Web page".
3) Fill in the required details as per the requirement. Give the appropriate title, Location for the file to be attached ( Path ),
4) Click on Execute button, SAVE.
Note: Please remember to provide the file extension like .pdf while attaching the file. Else the file wont be displayed when you try to display the attached file.
Thanks
