Missing component to access (read) a PDF file Adobe reader 8

When I try to open a PDF file it says there are some missing components to complete the operation and it sends me to the Adobe Web page (Adobe Acrobat plug in Finder) I already asked to the author of the file and followed his installation instructions but the problem remains. If I try to open it in some other computer the error message specifies the component filter/MBAS:ash is missing.

I am getting the same message, "Filter/MBAS:Ash:", that you posted on Adobeforums.com. Did you find out where to get the missing component? If so, I would appreciate your help.

    I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

    Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features?  I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

  • Trusted function not reffered in PDF file - Adobe reader.

    Am failry new to Adobe scripting.
    I am trying to generate a jasper report of PDF file format from an online web application
    MY intension is to automatically save the generated report into my user's hard drive location say /C/Sample/sample.pdf
    I have created the trusted function and made it copied to the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Javascripts
    Trusted function code mySaveAs.js
    var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function(oDoc,cFile)
    app.beginPriv();
    // Ensure path has trailing "/" cPath = cPath.replace(/([^\/])$/, "$1/");
    try{
      oDoc.saveAs(cFile);
    }catch(e){
      app.alert("Error During Save");
    app.endPriv();
    And am invoking the script from the Jasper api which will be a part of the PDF script like below
    exporter.setParameter(JRPdfExporterParameter.PDF_JAVASCRIPT,
         " if(typeof(mySaveAs) == 'function') { " +
         " mySaveAs(this,'/C/Sample/sample.pdf');"+
         " } else { " +
         " app.alert('Missing Save Function\n Please contact forms administrator')" +
    its just Equivalent of
    if(typeof(mySaveAs) == 'function') {
          mySaveAs(this,'/C/Sample/sample.pdf');
    } else { 
      app.alert('Missing Save Function\n Please contact forms administrator')}
    but am not able to get the file saved in my client machine.
    Kindly suggest me a better approach or any where if am missing something.
    Am failry new to Adobe scripting.

    Am currently using Adobe reader 11 I am not getting any alert .
    But the same saveAs() works well in XP even with out making it as a trusted function, We have just placed the script inside the PDF itself. But its not working in Windows 7.
    Below code works fine in Win XP
    try
         this.saveAs('/C/Sample/sample.pdf'');
        catch(e)
        { app.alert(e);}

  • Slow opening of .pdf files - Adobe Reader XI

    I have Adobe Reader XI - when I go to open a .pdf file (small file sizes like 17KB even) - the file takes about 45 seconds to open.  How do I get it to open faster?  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the reader but that didn't work. 

    See if you have anything on your system slowing things down. Try turning off your virus protection. If you have no protection, install some and have it look for virus or spyware. Those are the most common things to slow a computer down.

  • Only first page prints PDF files Adobe Reader 9 kb40558 fix Chinese version

    We have been having a problem with Acrobat and Adobe Reader 9 only print the first few pages of multi-page PDF documents. This is fixed with kb40558 for our English versions but the students and I can not find where to make the change to Font and Resource Policy" dropdown to "Send for Each Page" in the Chinese version.
    Can someone help - A Chinese language version of the KB or a screen shot of the location where the change is required would be most helpful

    All I can suggest is that you go to the original article http://www.adobe.com/go/kb405589 and copy/paste the instructions with the appropriate options into http://translate.google.com/

  • How do I clear a total black screen so I can read the pdf in Adobe Reader?

    I've searched everywhere!  Can someone send simple directions?

    I am on a Mac and the software is downloaded onto my computer. i keep it updated.  Had been working fine and then a few months ago this happened.  It's as if the reader is programmed to be reading it "opposite".   as if where there would be a white page there's black and where the text would be it's invisible.  Seems like there's some kind of setting I could change to right it back to read correctly.

  • Cannot Print PDF Files on Reader 9.4.0!

    I recently updated the drivers on my Brother MFC-420CN printer to the Vista drivers so I could scan multiple pages at once, however, now I can no longer print PDF files!!!!
    I tried to roll-back to the old drivers and it still doesn't work, I can print other types of files so it makes me believe that this is an Adobe Reader issue and not a system issue.
    In addition, I tried the following steps:
    1. Under advanced settings I chose "Print as Image" - did NOT work
    2. I uninstalled Reader and re-installed - did NOT work
    Here is my setup:
    OS: Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, 32-bit
    Model: HP Pavilion dv2700
    Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 1.90GHz(I am aware this is a 64bit processor with a 32-bit OS)
    Printer: Brother MFC-420CN
    Driver Version: 6.0.6000.16386(This is the previous driver that I rolled back to which used to print PDF files)
    Adobe Reader v9.4.0
    Any advice on how to get this working again would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

    Had you managed to print the same files, or are you talking about files you hadn't attempted to print? Are these PDF files forms that you are trying to fill and print in Reader?

  • Reader will not read my pdf files. after an automatic update the pdf files are not accessable.

    adobe automatic update to XI caused the reader of my pdf files to stop working. The reader tries to open -- the adobe reader window opens for a few seconds, nothing in the window is activated -- then the window automatically closes.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled previous versions that used to work but the reader 9 and X now do the same thing. open, unactivated window after a few seconds the program then shuts down.
    I cannot open and read any pdf file on this computer.
    There are no error messages and everything seems normal. The program does not work properly.
    I have ran the windows diagnostic tools to no avail.
    This computer operates windows 7

    See if you can open the EULA.exe file in the folder that contains the install of Reader or Acrobat.

  • Using a servlet to read a pdf file that is in remote server

    Hi,
    I read some topics about how to read a pdf file using a servlet...but my issue is that my pdf files are on a remote Sun solaris server (intranet) and my servlet will be in a public network (internet), so my question is, still be possible to use this solution to read my remote file ? how i can access the remote file ??
    any idea from where I can start ??
    best regards,
    carlos.

    You may use a FTP client component to connect with your servlet to the Sun server, retrieve the bytes and serve them to the browser. Instead of reading the stream from a local file, you will be reading from a network socket, but the code -if well written and designed- may be very similar.
    There are many good ftp client components for java, you may also use other protocols like HTTP or SCP (ssh file transfer).

  • Opening PDF files in Reader itself takes a long time

    When I try opening PDF Files in Reader itself, this process takes a long time (more then 2 minutes for opening PDF files).
    When I try opening PDF Files directly from My computer, My documents: no problem (direct opening).
    Running Reader XI on Windows XP SP3.

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want to open pdf file in the Adobe Reader directly from document library.
    I suggest you do as the followings:
    1. In SharePoint Central Administration site, click Application Management->Manage Web Applications, select the web application for the site. Click Authentication
    Providers, select default zone, and select Yes for "Enable Client Integration?".
    2. click Site Settings-> Site collection features->"Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" click Activate
    3. set the default open behavior for a document library by using the document library settings page.
    4. Enable the “Adobe Arcobat SharePoint OpenDocuments Component”add-on in the IE11.
    5. Add your current site URL to the trusted web sites in IE11.
    There is a similar threads for your reference:

    Hello.
    At my work, we use JavaMail (version 1.4.1) in server
    programs, processing mails with attached files from customers. Mostly it is
    TIFF images, but it can also be PDF
    files, and the attached files are extracted and saved for further processing.
    Sometimes, we have a problem, reading attached PDF
    files. The files get saved, but is of size 0 bytes. If I forward it, however,
    using an Outlook client, the forwarded item can be read by our JavaMail program, and files saved OK.
    I have tried to forward it using JavaMail, but I cannot
    compose the mail parts, that fails, however - of the same reasons: I cannot
    read the them in:-)
    It looks like it's when the mail is send from a Mac.
    Anyway, the part to read is of content type "APPLICATION/APPLEFILE" whereas when it's forwarded, it's content
    type is "APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM"
    The way, I read the part, is to check if the part is an
    instance of an InputStream, and then saving into a byte array, like this:
    h5. Object
    obj = part.getContent();
    if (obj instanceof
    InputStream) {
    InputStream
    inStream = part.getInputStream();
    byte[]
    buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
    int
    bytesRead;
    BufferedOutputStream
    outBufStream = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(attFileName));
    while
    ((bytesRead = inStream.read(buffer)) != -1)
    outBufStream.write(buffer,
    0, bytesRead);
    inStream.close();
    h5. outBufStream.close();
    Problem
    is that .read() method always returns -1 when content type Is APPLICATION/APPLEFILE,
    so a file of 0 bytes are created.
    Interesting is perhaps, that debugging shows me that the
    part instance of the InputStream actually is a
    com.sun.mail.util.BASE64DecoderStream when it fails, and a
    com.sun.mail.util.QPDecoderStream
    when it works OK.
    So I have this idea, that I's a certain type of decoder
    stream we're missing? We use Java 1.6.0 update 10 and JavaMail 1.4.1. and since
    we use java 1.6 we use the JAF framework from that one, I guess?
    Hope you guys can help?
    Thanks in advance, Per Jensen

    We have two (MS Exchange) servers (from trace log):
    Microsoft Exchange IMAP4rev1-server version 5.5.2650.23
    Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 IMAP4rev1 server version 6.5.7226.0
    - the first one is the one, we're using here, but I have tried on the other, newer version too, and it didn't help either.
    But I've found out a couple of interesting things:
    1: Debugging shows me, that the part instance of the InputStream actually is a com.sun.mail.util.BASE64DecoderStream when it fails, and if I forward the mail via Outlook as described earlier, and it can be read OK, the part is a com.sun.mail.util.QPDecoderStream instance.
    2: I can save the WHOLE message to a file, using message.getInputStream(), and when I opens the file I can find the individual attachments - as well as the bodytext, if any - as they are separated with the disposition, mimetype and filename fields, showed as plain text. And the attachments are showed as blocks of characters; I guess it's the ascii character representation of the bytes. Here's a snippet, note the first two sentences. They seemes to be added, somehow, when I dump the message to file(?):
    <START OF DUMPED FILE>
    This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand
    this format, some or all of this message may not be legible.

    As the solution seems to be painfull: Parse the mail to find where the attachments starts and stops and saving them as files, I hope you guys can send me on the right track?

  • When I try to open a PDF file the reader flashes on the screen then closes

    When I try to open a PDF file the reader flashes on the screen then closes. I have to open the reader, then search for the pdf file through the reader. I'm using Adobe Reader 11.0.5 with windows 7 service pack 1 home premium. Is there any way I can just click on a PDF file and the reader automaticaly opens? I purchased the upgrade so I can convert PDF to Word but it didnt make any difference.

    Some things to try...
    Update Reader to version 11.0.06
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Problem in Reading a .PDF file

    HI Friends,
    I am reading a .pdf file from within java program using its java.io package.
    I am able to read the file, but when I print the line read from file on to the screen, it all garbage. Its not in readable characters.
    I guess its reagrding mismatch in Charcter Sets of original file and the stream with which I m reading the file.
    So,if u know the solution plz suggest me.

    Hello Simple@java
    Here's an exemple of a class that opens the File "rapport.pdf" located at the same place as the class.
    Of course AcroRd32.exe is the name of Acrobat Reader which allows to read pdf files. You can get it on : adobe.com(http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html)
    You will change "rapport.pdf" by the name of your pdf file.
    Then execute "test()".
    * Open the file "rapport.pdf"
    public class test
         public test()
              Runtime a = Runtime.getRuntime();
              try
                   a.exec("AcroRd32.exe rapport.pdf");               
              catch (Exception e)
                   System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    Good luck !
