Kde 4.9.3 no preview for pdf files in dolphin ?

I have poppler and poppler-qt installed but still I dont see option to turn on preview for pdf files.

You need to install kdegraphics-thumbnailers, then enable PDF preview in dolphin configuration (General > Preview)

  • Firefox preview for pdf files doesn't show certain Cyrillic scripts.

    Since pdf preview support was added in Firefox I can't find a solution for the missing Cyrillic letters in the preview of the pdfs which the software in my company generates.
    Other pdf software/browsers with preview don't have issues with the Cyrillic script regardless of localization and OS as the fonts are embedded in the pdf.
    Can you please help with finding some documentation to use as a reference point for finding the solution for this issue?

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Firefox 17.0 for Mac OS X missing Preferences- Applications- Preview Doc (application/PDF) entry to set behavior for PDF files

    I want to set Firefox to automatically download or save a PDF without the panel coming up to ask me. However, when I go to Firefox->Preferences->Applications there is no entry for PDF files to set it to open or save the file without asking me (i.e., no Preview Document (application/PDF).
    I am using Firefox 17.0 with Mac OS X 10.6.8 using Intel Core 2 Duo

    I have .pdf associated with Preview. The issue is that in Firefox->Preferences-> Application tab does NOT contain an entry for Preview Document ((application/PDF) which is needed to do an association that will occur automatically every time Firefox encounters a doc of that type. (the application tab has Preview Document (image/<6 types>) but no entry for the PDF format.

  • I don't see thumbnails for PDF files in my Windows Explorer

    Hi,
    When browsing through my File Manager to look for files, I used to be able to see a thumbnail of any PDF files I'd saved.
    I can still see the old ones created earlier, but my more recent files just show a black square with the Adobe 'A' in bottom right hand corner or sometimes a large Adobe 'A' on white field with "PDF" in top left corner.
    Seeing a thumbnail I think helps to find your file. Does anyone know why I don't get them any more or how to get them back. (The save a thumbnail option is checked for normal word docs, but not visible when saving as PDF.
    I am using Mic Office 2010 (Word) to save as PDF. My computer is Windows 7 64bit.
    Interesting, I can see a preview of PDF files which is a help, but not individual thumbnails for my more recent files....can still see them for older, longer ago saved PDFs.
    Added info:
    Just checked, I last had thumbnails in December 2011, January 2012 I stopped getting them.
    Tried to insert a picture to show you what I get in explorer, but just get a big dark grey square so I'll explain. Just worked out the following.
    Prior to end of 2011 my PDFs have a thumbnail.
    After that I just have a black square with the Adobe 'A' in bottom right hand corner if I create PDF with Word
    If I do 'Save As' while in the reader I get a large Adobe 'A' on white field with "PDF" in top left corner

    NO, NOT THAT SIMPLE, now I find some normal thumbnails later in 2012, so the behaviour is changeable!!!!!

  • Color Display for PDF Files Creative Cloud in Browser View

    I have noticed that there is a great difference in color display between a PDF and .ai/eps files. When viewed in the browser there seems to be no ICC taking affect for PDF files even though options to include the profiles, etc in output were selected. This makes it hard to use as a tool when showing clients proofs via the browser as they will never see proper color. I know color will vary between monitors but the difference is huge for some colors. Like a dark almost Navy Blue appearing like a vibrant pen ink blue. On a Mac when you use the quick spacebar preview the correct color shows for all versions of file type but in the browsers it shows the color incorrectly. Have tried this so far on the Mac in in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Even Google Drive can display all the file types correctly with correct color although the way it shows eps files is a bit off. That I don't mind as I rarely save eps files anymore.
    Is there something I am missing or is this a defect in the browser display?
    The other possible option would be to flip my thinking and save everything as .ai files with PDF compatibility turned on and then have to tell clients that they should be able to open that ai file in Acrobat. At the moment I save everything as PDF files with Illustrator compatibility turned on.

    Can anyone throw light on this. I'm facing same problem.

  • Make Acrobat the default reader for pdf-files.

    Since some time (probably after I installed Mavericks) pdf-files are by default opened
    in Preview. To open them in Adobe Acrobat, I can right-click the pdf-file, choose Acrobat,
    and indicate that Acrobat should be the default reader for pdf-files.
    This works, and after logout and login, it does still work.
    But after a reboot, Preview is again the default reader.
    Also, if in Finder I right-click a pdf-file, and via Get Info I configure Acrobat
    to be the default reader for the specific file and all other pdf-files (by clicking
    Change All), this only works for the current session. After a reboot Preview again is the
    default.
    How can I make Acrobat Reader the default reader for pdf-files, and make this setting
    permanent?
    Where is this setting saved?
    Regards,
    Kees.

    I finally solved this, but I still don't understand how.
    To begin with I have 2 hard-drives in my iMac. The OS is on the primary HD, and data are on the secondary drive. My Home directory too is on this secondary HD.
    To check whether the location of the Home directory might be the problem, I copied the Home directory to the primary HD, changed the path in my profile, and did a reboot.
    The next step was to configure Adobe Acrobat as the default reader for pdf-files. To my surprise,  after rebooting, Acrobat still was the default reader for pdf-files.
    So it looks as if this problem has something to do with the location of the Home directory.
    The original Home directory was still present on the secondary  HD,  So the next step was to change in my profile the path to the Home directory again (pointing again to the original Home directory on the second HD), do a reboot and delete the copy of the Home directory on the primary HD.
    So now the situation was back to as it was before: the Home directory on the second HD.
    To my surprise now Acrobat still was the default reader for pdf-files.
    And I could also change the default reader to Preview, and back to Acrobat, and this setting was saved across reboots.
    I'm curious to what solved this problem, and where the setting of the default pdf-reader, or more general, the default application for file types, is stored.
    So I hope that someone who reads this, can shed some light on this.

  • Change the ICONS Reader7.0 for .PDF files

    I have tried everything I know.
    Explorer>Folder Options>File Types>.PDF>Advanced>Change Icon
    or whatever and NOTHING WORKS.
    Now I want my ICONS back that were under version 6.0
    Not the one that 7.0 assigns to the .PDF files.
    I have not been able to change it.
    Does anyone know how to?
    A REGISTRY KEY
    and what I am looking for
    I just want the ICON that was there when I Reader 6.0 for .PDF files.
    That's all....
    It sucks that Adobe doesn't let it get changed...(Just don't like the icon, too much white border around it).

    I have found that Text-to-Speech works just fine in Yosemite's Preview application — without changing any standard settings. I added additional voices, and it works equally well with these too. You should not expect Text-to-Speech functionality with text that is incorporated into a graphic though.
    Both Edit > Speech  > Start Speaking, and after enabling in Text-to-Speech Preferences, Speak selected text when the key is pressed (option+Esc).

  • Bridge Preview for .ai files

    I just learned last week that Bridge uses the XMP data to display the preview for an .indd file.  However, this seems to have a maximum size of 256 pixels.
    I noticed that Bridge has the ability to resize the preview of .ai files, and it still looks good when it gets big.  How does it generate the preview for other file types, such as .ai, .pdf, .psd, etc.?
    Thanks for any insight,
    Kyle

    "Always High Quality" is checked, and "Generate 100% Previews" is unchecked.
    (I'm currently writing a program that pulls or creates a thumbnail based upon a variety of file types.  I've learned how to use XMP to extract the thumbnail from an .indd file (and others).  I was hoping to be able to grab larger thumbnails from files like .ai's, especially since I see that Bridge can do it.)

  • How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

    Hi All,
    I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
    So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
    Can any one tell me about this?
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Hi,
    I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
    It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.

  • PDF download worked in FFox3 but not in 4. Do I have to wait for a new plug in for PDF files?

    I was downloading monthly statements from mutual fund firms. Firefox 4.0 worked fine with the T Rowe Price web site (they must not do anything tricky), but does not work with Fidelity. Firefox doesn't seem to recognize that what Fidelity is offering is really a PDF file. I tested the same action with my same computer and Safari as the browser which worked fine, and I tested the same action with my same computer and Firefox 3.6.16 and it, too, worked fine. Your help screen for PDF files suggest I download "Firefox PDF plugin extension" but when I get there, it says a version for FFox 4 is not available. I probably have that added to my 3.6.16 version and that's why it works there. So I guess I just have to use a different browser until that plugin is available. But it is another puzzle why TRowePrice makes it work with 4.0 and Fidelity doesn't.
    Do you have a better suggestion than "just wait" ?

    I have never herd of Verizon adding an additional account especially since new account required both a credit check and your signature. Anyway this is a customer to customer forum so I'm not sure how you expect other customers to help you.

  • ? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

    I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

    Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case.  There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior.  You probably need to investigate that.  But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.'  Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.'  From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf.  If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides).  If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it.  It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
    This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

  • [GNOME], [Firefox] (still) defaults to GIMP for PDF files

    I've installed Arch Linux with GNOME twice this past year, on both i686 and x86-64 systems. Both times, I've installed GNOME with it's default PDF reader, Evince, as well as GIMP for image editing (of course). Firefox, regardless of my preferences in Nautilus, only gives me the option of opening PDF files in GIMP (as opposed to saving them). If I save the file and open it from the downloads window, it opens in GIMP, but if I download it and then open it directly in Nautilus, then it opens in Evince without any problems. Of course, I could work around this and simply add /usr/bin/evince to the list of programs for PDF files, but I would have to do this for every single user that I add before Firefox is reasonably usable for downloading PDFs.
    There was a thread on this a while ago, but it's closed now so I can't add to it. This is still a problem in 2011 and before I report this as a bug anywhere, we'd have to figure out the exact cause of the problem: is it GNOME, GIMP, Firefox, or something else entirely that causes this? How could I fix this so I don't have to use a messy workaround?
    Oh, also, after installing GIMP, it's treated as the default application for PDF files regardless of GNOME's default preferences. Evince is listed but GIMP "hijacks" it in a sense. This is fixable in Nautilus easily, but it shouldn't have to be a necessary step.

    I never knew that about GNOME. Mimeopen did fix the problem for me. Thanks very much!

    I mentioned that I tried this and it works fine, but I don't want to have to do that workaround on every single account I make. The workaround suggested, as I said, works well enough.
    So if I understand this correctly, this is a Firefox bug?
