Is it possible to open pdf files in pages

Is it possible to open and edit PDF's in Pages?

Mactioner explained how you may insert a PDF in a Pages document but this will not allow you to edit it.
You will just be able to insert text boxes whose contents will replace the piece of text which they hide.
When I worked as an engineer, this kind of job was made with paper, scissors and glue.
So, from my point of view, the described trickery is a huge progress.
Sometimes it may be sufficient (if new text is shorter than original one).

Not possible to open PDF file generated by Report functionality

Hello,
we are facing the problem that reports in PDF format deliverd in SharePoint by Duet Enterprise cannot be opened by Adobe Reader. The error we get is the following:
Adobe Reader could not open "filename.pdf" because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
When trying to open it with Internet Explorer the following error message pops up:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Sven

Hi Hi Sven,
Could you please tell me the type of report you were trying execute? Is it ERP or BW? And ALV or non-ALV?
We are supporting PDF report output type only for BW reports and for ERP non-AVL reports. For other types PDF format is not supported.
If you configure PDF for other report types then you will get report output in PDF file in SharePoint server, but you will face above error message while opening the file.

Binson

How do you open .pdf file in pages???

This seems like something very easy to do, but I can't get it to work. How do I save a .pdf file from a disk into .pages, so I can work on it and make changes? I can save it in pages, but then it won't open in .pages. it seems like it should be so easy. About to break down and buy microsoft word and excel for the mac.

I have this http://www.smilesoftware.com/PDFpen/index.html but it does cost $60 (got it for $20 on some special years ago). There is a free trial if you only need to get out of a short term problem. And I think there are free alternatives but don't know. BTW, I have no connection to PDFpen.

Trying to open PDF file in pages

I've followed all the directions and tried several methods to get a PDF document from my pc to the iPad. From an email I should have the option to open the attached PDF with Pages, but I cannot do this. I touch the attached PDF file, and it just opens. I also tried connecting the iPad to the pc and manually transfer the PDF with iTunes. It seems to show the selected files in iTunes, but when I start Pages and try to open a file, the files I "transferred" are greyed out, and don't open.
I'd appreciate any help with this.

I never said it did. I was talking only to how you make the menu appear.

What can I do to rectify the situation in which Firefox will not open pdf files in the browser, even though I have already used all the help suggestions to no avail?

I have tried everything Mozilla has suggested. Still when I click on a pdf, I get the message that the browser cannot open a pdf. I have gone through the help protocol, and it does not work.
I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, and still not able to open pdf files within the browser.
What else do I do, except go to IE or Chrome and just leave Firefox completely???

A possible cause is the presence of a PDF plugin from an older Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!

Not able to open PDF files from Web

Sometimes reader 9.3.1 in IE on Windows 7 stops working and it is not possible to display any more PDF files from web. Reinstall helps for a while.
By looking into running programs I found the acrobroker.exe starts and immediatelly shuts down. After a while IE responds with a generic acrobat problem that asks me to shutdown acrobat reader and start it again.
Any idea what might be wrong?
Thanks

For the settings to check, see the [[opening PDF files within Firefox]] article.

Problem with opening PDF files in Google Chrome browser

We have a web page displaying links to dynamically generated PDF files located on the internal repository. This files are not just text PDF files but PDF forms created using XFA technology. This means that they must be opened and filled only in Adobe Reader and not in Foxit Reader or browser's built-in PDF viewer.
Now, the problem is that a Google Chrome browser opens any PDF file using its own PDF viewer. And I want to force this browser to open PDF files in Adobe Reader.
How can I achieve this without disabling 'Chrome PDF Viewer' plugin since I can't do this for all users of our web site?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. We use LiveCycle ES3.

Each user would have to set each browser individually.
Note: I don't think it's possible to set the default PDF viewer with code for every user who visits the site.
See the following link to enable Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer in different browsers:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
Note: Not all PDF viewer browser plug-ins support PDF submissions, and most 3rd party viewers may not support forms created with LiveCycle or forms with Extended Reader Rights enabled.

I have acrobat 11 standard is it possible to convert pdf files to word files ?

I have acrobat 11 standard is it possible to convert pdf files to word files ? or is it just possible in the Pro version.

It sounds to me like you're using Reader, not Acrobat. Make sure you open
the PDF file in Acrobat, and then go to File - Save As Other - Microsoft
Word.

Acrobat 7.1 IE plugin cannot open .pdf Files with mt/application/octet-stream

Hi Folks,
we have some problems to open pdf - files via Hyperlink in an IE Explorer. this files get from the web-server the MIME-Type "octet-stream".
the only option is to save and then open the pdf files. But we want to open the pdf files directly IN the IE. the option to open it not in IE is not possible because then another application will not work.
Is it generally possible to open an pdf File with an octet-stream MIME-Type with the IE-Pluin, and if Yes is ther any possible configuration we could try.
Thanks for your help
regards
Felix

Hi Bill,
we already tried to change that checkbox that solves the problem but we get new problems with other applications, so this way is also no option for us.
also we tried to repair / reinstall acrobat, but it has no effect.
I suppose that maybe adobe just closed that door to open pdf documents with the octet-stream MIME-Type. Because it could an way to insert executable files in the system.
maybe a higher version than 7.1 can do this?
Thanks for your help, here in Germany it is already 2 pm so not far from quitting-time ;)

How can I open PDF files in Firefox? Nothing works no matter what I try. Other browsers open them fine.

When trying to open PDF file, screen just stays white and no content is seen. Status says "Done". PDF files will open with no problem in internet explorer, safari, and chrome. Nothing in Firefox which is my preferred browser.

I have heard that trying to use Leopard with AppleWorks can cause a corruption of the hard drive. Is this true?
No, not at all. AppleWorks actually runs better in Leopard on both my PPC & Intel Macs than it did in Tiger. I have found AppleWorks to be faster & more stable in Leopard on an Intel than any other system I've used.
I repaired permissions (both before and after installing Leopard) and have also dumped AppleWorks preference file, then restarting all to no avail.
There are more than one AppleWorks preferences to delete. Only deleting the .plist or just the files in the AppleWorks folder in Preferences will not work. They must all be deleted at the same time. Take a look at this user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly.
Deleting the preferences often fixes printing problems. Also, make sure you have the newest driver for your printer from the manufacturer's web site.
I did install Leopard as an update rather than wiping my HD and doing a new install. Should I delete AppleWorks and all associated files and reinstall AppleWorks and reinstall Leopard from scratch?
Possibly. I chose to do erase & install with migrating users & data for all of my Macs. I did try the upgrade with the MacBook Pro & it was a disaster with failure to start up after installing Leopard. I was willing to take the chance because everything on my MacBook Pro is on my desktop Mac.

I cannot open PDF files in Photoshop Elements as it is asking for a PDF Password?

I cannot open PDF files in Photoshop Elements as it is asking for a PDF Password?

Is it possible that the creator of the files set a password? That's usually the only time PSE asks for one, although you may be able to open the file just fine in a pdf program that isn't password-aware.

}Please help.

Oups, my answer assumes that you were dispalying a PDF through http.
Like said before by someone else, for command shell the command is different.
See http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf#page=5

IPad 2 incorrectly opens pdf file as an image, Bug? Fix?

Long time user, I do indeed know how to open pdf files; my issue is after a recent update mail no longer handles a pdf file correctly, it opens the file as an image, once opened there is no possibility of properly reading the document in pages, iBooks, etc. the only available option is open as image or save neither option properly handles the file.
I read of a workaround deleting apps designed to open PDFs and tried this with no success... So I am open to another suggestion. Thank you.
currently running iOS 7.1.2
pdfs option open in iBooks, Messages, Dropbox.

The first things I would do are quit the Mail app and reset the iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
