Inserting a pdf file in Acrobat X?

Hi there,
I've been using Acrobat 6.0 Standard for a few years and recently went to X Standard. When I try inserting a pdf into one I'm working with, it does not work the first time. When I do the same actions the second time it works as it should.
Does anyone know of a solution? This is one of the main features I use and having to do the same thing twice to get it to happen once is beginning to get on my nerves!
I've repaired the installation a few times and tried to deal with the Adobe help on the phone and online without success.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. I normally have one pdf open and then I select the "insert from file" tool. I then navigate to and select the file I want to insert. When the Insert Pages dialog box opens, I will select the location "Before or After" and then any of the options "last page, first page, or the actual page" and then click OK. The first time I do it, it does not work. If I repeat the steps it works the second time. I've tried all the combinations in the Insert File dialog and it is the same with all of them.
I'm going to deactivate the software today and reinstall to see if that fixes the problem.

PDF files don't have one resolution, but may have none or many different resolutions, one per image. You can check the maximum/minimum resoluion with preflight in Acrobat Pro, but not in Adobe Reader.

Error while trying to Insert a pdf file in database

Hi All,
I have sent this problem to Informix. By any chance if you had faced the same problem and found the solution, pls send mail to [email protected]
Thanks

Hi there,
I tried to insert a pdf file in to Informix database. I followed the guidelines
given in the "InformixJDBC Driver
Programmer's Guide". Actually my program works if i use
PreparedStatement.setBytes method. But why
PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream method is not working????.
Here is the code snippet.....
Connection conn = null;
PreparedStatement ps = null;
try
File ff = new File("C:\\test.pdf");
InputStream value = null;
FileInputStream fileinp = new FileInputStream(ff);
value = (InputStream) value;
int len = (int) ff.length();
System.out.println("len: " + len);
conn = connect();
String sql = "INSERT INTO dbep04m@inf10004:pg_wip_t (c_db,n_object,u_img) VALUES (\"2\",?,?)";
if (conn != null)
long stTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
ps = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
for (int ii=1;ii<=10000;ii++)
ps.setInt(1,ii);
ps.setBinaryStream(2,value,len);
int rtVal = ps.executeUpdate();
//System.out.println("return value" + rtVal);
ps.close();
conn.close();
long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("Total time taken for this run: " + (endTime-stTime)/(1000) + " seconds");
catch (FileNotFoundException ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
catch (IOException ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
catch (SQLException ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
finally
try
if (ps != null)
ps.close();
if (conn != null)
conn.close();
catch (SQLException ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
I am getting the following error message.......

Here is the example given in the "Informix JDBC Driver Programmer's Guide". In the line maked bold, the blob size was hard coded as 10. Then
why you are trying to find the file length???.
try
stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate("create table tab1(col1 byte)");
catch ( SQLException e)
System.out.println("Failed to create table ..." + e.getMessage());
System.out.println("Trying to insert data using Prepare Statement ...");
try
pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("insert into tab1 values (?)");
catch (SQLException e)
System.out.println("Failed to Insert into tab:" + e.toString());
File file = new File("data.dat");
int fileLength = (int) file.length();
InputStream value = null;
FileInputStream fileinp = null;
int row = 0;
String str = null;
int rc = 0;
ResultSet rs = null;
System.out.println("Inserting data ...\n");
try
fileinp = new FileInputStream(file);
value = (InputStream)fileinp;
catch (Exception e) {}
try
pstmt.setBinaryStream(1,value,10); //set 1st column
catch (SQLException e)
System.out.println("Unable to set parameter");
set_execute();
public static void set_execute()
try
pstmt.executeUpdate();
catch (SQLException e)
System.out.println("Failed to Insert into tab:" + e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
Best Regards

sorry!!!. There is an error in the code
old code :
value = (InputStream) value ;
should be code :
value = (InputStream) fileinp;

How do I edit a PDF file using Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0

My company - [name deleted by host] purchased Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0. for me
How do I edit a PDF file using Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0
I need to edit - copy, extract text, add text, etc. from existing PDF files to SAVE my changes,
or create a new PDF file from an existing file.
This is very important for me to be able to do my job effectively.
I spent over 2 hrs the last few days, and another hour today, still can't do it.
PLEASE respond ASAP with a solution.
Thanks in advance,

PDF is an end destination format - although Acrobat is capable of making minor changes to a file (e.g. to correct typos) it is not a word processor or DTP application. Major changes must be done in the original document, and the PDF file re-exported.
You can copy text from a file by selecting it and right-clicking, or you can save the file as plain or formatted text. To make small changes to the text on a page, use the touchup tool - see the help file for more info.

I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI

I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 (Mozilla) to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI. Each time, Acrobat replies (in french) : "il n'y a pas de client pour la messagerie par défaut". Thunderbird is indicated as "by default" in the list of programs of Windows.
Even if I type my e-mail address, etc. in the account of Acrobat, it doesn't change. Each time, I have to record a PDF file in a folder and return to Thunderbird to send it as attached. It is a too long process, compared with Windows XP with Acrobat Reader or Acrobat 5, I had before.
Would you please help me to explain the process. My OS is Windows 8.1.
Thank you

Thank you for your answer.
What i want to do : to send PDF files as attached documents in a message
generated by thunderbird by my e-mail address [email protected] or
another one I have.
When I introduce my e-mail address under Edit-Preferences-Email
Accounts, Acrobat ask the e-mail account, the password, the IMAP for
ingoing message (and I use POP) and SMTP for outgoing messages. Even I
introduce all the datas, it doesn't change, Acrobat is unable to send
the message. And the process is not convenient, because I need all my
outgoing messages be documented inside Thunderbird.
So, I repeat my request : how can I use thenderbird as program by
default from Acrobat or any other software ?
Thank you for your next message.

Why can't I email a pdf file from Acrobat XI Standard?

Whenever I try to email a pdf file from Acrobat XI Standard, nothing happens. Outlook 2007 is my default
email program. I have checked the preferences to be sure that Outlook is checked as default, and it is,
but when I click on the email icon or select email from the dropdown menu, nothing happens. This is
so frustrating. I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

Be sure that MAPI is properly active in your Outlook. I am not an Outlook user, but that is what is needed.

How to insert a pdf file in an outgoing email

Looking for assistance, on how do you insert a pdf file in an outgoing email on iphone5, I have adobe and dropbox I can open a pdf file and send it from their respective apps but when I create a new email or reply or forward I want to be able to go get the pdf file and attach it to the email. Have not been able to find how to do this.
Regards,
Frank

Thanks for responding. For my work I have manuals, certifications or other regulatory docs that I have uploaded either to dropbox or adobe reader apps on my phone because I travel I find more often that I get request for these documents on an email chain and need to add a pdf to it. It seems I have to start a new email from the app the pdf is in as you stated. This defeats the purpose of responding or forwarding. very frustrating and not very professional. Is their an app out there that may help with this situation.

Can't view PDF files using Acrobat Reader X

We made many PDF files available on our Web site. In the past few weeks we noticed that users who were using Acrobat Reader X and Internet Explorer 8 or 9 were not able to view some PDF files. Basically, when they clicked a link to display a PDF file, the screen would be cleared and the status bar showing "Loading ...KB/...K/B" would be displayed. The status bar would move a bit and then got stuck. The PDF file would never be displayed. Sometimes, my users could click the Back button to go back the previous Web page and sometimes they had to close or kill the IE window. Small PDF files seemed to be fine. I was able to repeat this problem on PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7. I also tested clicking the same PDF files with PCs installed with Acrobat Reader 9 and I was not able to cause the problem to occur, so I am pretty sure that this problem is related to Acrobat Reader X. I also noticed that if I unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" option in Acrobat Reader X so that PDF files would not be displayed inside the Internet Explorer window, I would be able to view all PDF files without any problems.
I also did an experiment by resaving many PDF files using Acrobat Pro (Reduce File Size...) to be compatible with Acrobat 8 or above. I was able to open these PDF files using Acrobat Reader X but when I used a PC with Acrobat 9, it would get stuck instead. Most of my PDF files were created a long time ago and we usually made it compatible with Acrobat 5 or above.
I saw that some people reported some problems with Acrobat Reader X but I did not see a solution except uninstalling Acrobat Reader X and installing an old version of Acrobat Reader instead. Anyone has any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this problem?

Sounds like you got the trial of Acrobat. Go to add/remove programs, get rid of it, the download the free Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/

How do I open PDF files in Acrobat, not Safari?

Sorry for such a dumb question, but I would like to open & view PDF files in Acrobat (v7.03 standard) rather than in Safari when I go to a PDF file in Safari, but I can't figure out how to do this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. (OS 10.4.2)

Ok, You can do one of 2 things.
Go where ever you find something that needs you to download to view as a .pdf.
If it opens in your browser as a pdf but not with the Adobe logo save it to your desktop by either opening the print dialogue and clicking "Save as PDF".
You can actually do that with any document. Then just highlight but dont open and click on "Get Info".
Once inthe dialogue ,look to the part that says "Open with" and locate and select Adobe 7.0.3. Click 'Open With' to select the dailogue that says, 'Use this application to open all documents like this.'
Click 'Change all'
That should do it.
Also you can right click on a mac pdf document and get the dialogue 'Open with' and find and select Acrobat. You will be asked by Adobe if you want to make Acrobat the defaulf programme for such files.
There used to be somewhere that you could just go to and download a simple pdf that when clicked on just presented you with the last piece of this method.
You could also just stick in a CD of a programme that you have bought for your Mac, drag any PDF that may appear on the CD to your desktop and perform the latter part of instructions.

Open PDF file in Acrobat reader rather than SAP Document viewer...

Hello everyone,
Whenever we attach a pdf file using Services for objects-->Store Business documents, an attachment list list is created and the file is archived in the repository.
If we double click on it, the pdf is opened in SAP Document viewer and not in Acrobat Reader unlike word document....
Can anyone tell me what configuration changes should be made and where so as to open pdf file in Acrobat?
Similarily what changes should be made so as to open Email files in Outlook?
Edited by: Suruchirazdan on Mar 31, 2011 8:33 AM

Which version of the Acrobat Reader do you use?
According to my experience with our desktop this might be a feature of ACROBAD READER X.
Kind regards

Make it a business case that the files should be stored in specific location(s).
Oracle uses directory objects to point to locations on the file system and, whilst these locations can be altered, it is better practice to set up specific locations and grant permission to the correct users for those locations so that there is full control over who is accessing what on the server. Whilst filenames may be dynamic, I wouldn't recommend using dynamic locations.

Optimize my pdf file with Acrobat 10 pro

I have always been able to optimize my pdf file with Acrobat 10 pro until now. It gives me the following error. Runtime error, This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information. I just need to make it smaller as there is a cap on the senders end that I am sending it to. I have also tried the reduce pdf and get the same reply. [email protected]

PDF's with forms can only be optimized with a SAVE AS and the option set to "Save File For Fast Webviewing".
Be sure that option is set and just do a save as and then rename the file back to your original.

Problem reopening and/or refreshing PDF files using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0

I upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 and have encountered problems refreshing PDF files in the Safari 2.0.4 browser when I am logged into the secure area for Value Line Publishing. Some of the PDF Files in this area can be opened and/or refreshed multiple times. Other PDF files in this area allow me to open them once. I cannot reopen those previously viewed files (or refresh the screen) -- after refreshing, the window changes to a blank white screen, and the files do not reopen.
I am perplexed because I do not have difficulty refreshing the PDF files (within Safari) using the native PDF viewer, I did not have problems refreshing files using Acrobat Reader V. 7.0 and I do not appear to have problems refreshing PDF files using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 when I am outside the secure area or on other web sites.
I have replaced the Acrobat Reader plug-in, manually removed all remnants of previous versions of Acrobat Reader and reinstalled V. 8.0. and I also upgraded from Mac OS 10.4.8 to 10.4 9, all to no avail.
I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
I can also download the PDF files to my hard drive and refresh them multiple times within Safari and also using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0
The software personnel at Value Line Publishing have investigated their system and have referred me back to Apple. Has anyone heard of similar problems associated with Adobe Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 used in conjunction with Safari 2.0.4?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Rodney
Welcome to Apple Discussions
This sounds like one of those "oddities", contributed to by a few sources.
I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
Wondering if you disabled the Safari Cache would the refresh function work correctly? As a test you can disable the Safari Cache by Emptying the Cache first via the Safari menu, then Quit Safari. Now go to the Finder>Your User Library>Caches>Safari. Single click on the Safari folder, then Apple Key + I to open Info panel. There, check the "locked" box. This prevents further additions to the cache. The downside, you lose your ability to upload images etc. within Safari (my cache is disabled, so I use Firefox for the uploads).
Then restart Safari. Try the PDF from within Safari.
