My pdf file is now no longer accessible in My Documents. I have to go through Downloads. This has just started happening. When I try to access through Documents it gives me codes I must approve and then I get jibberish.

Thanks for such a prompt reply. As soon as I try to open the pdf I created a File Conversion box pops up asking me to Select the encoding that makes your document readable. It defaults to Other encoding and then just gives me codes. I cannot access the file itself.

I've recently noticed that since the last upgrade any links to pdf files on websited no longer work. All I get is a blank white page or a blank black page when I click on these links. Can I fix this?

My iPod 5 will not sync ANY music. All my music was on prior to syncing. The sync deleted all my music. I can now no longer add any music. I have the "sync music" checked. Restoring factory settings did not work. Any thoughts?

When you synced with iTunes It would have tried to replace the music on the iPhone with what is on the computer. which is what happens when you sync with iTunes.
If the songs are purchased you can re-downloaded them Pretty easily. You mentioned that you still see the songs and that you could not play them. Do they have a Cloud symbol next to them? If so this means that you can download them but that they are not on the device.

Is there any way to embed the pdf file in the book created in iBooks Author to make it available to be downloaded or sent to email? So that the user can print it out.

I'm making the book for children and there is one chapter providing coloring pages. So I wish to attach pdf files that allow users to download it at the end of chapter so that they can print it out. Been searching through discussion, I've found some advice about taking screen snapshot page-by-page > then send the pics from photo album to email. However, I'm wondering if there's a way that make the process easier.

Warehouse that PDF on your own server, then link to it from your book.

I have a MacBook pro version 10.6.7 with snow leopard. After an scheduled software upgrade I could not open Quicken (It said it could not open the files). Now I can only open it if I have my external drive on. Can you help?

All the information that I had input on Quicken is gone. I have to have the external hard drive that I use to back up to be able to use quicken now. It is as if it was erased from the laptop hardrive

Try repairing permissions. My favorite way is with a utility called AppleJack. Info and download here. It's free. It only works when you boot in Single User Mode. When restarting or booting, hold down the Command key and S keys.
You will get a very different startup screen that looks like the Terminal app has hijacked the screen. Just let the lines of text scroll by. When that happens you will get a text entry prompt. Type in "AppleJack" without the quotation marks.
A DOS looking menu will appear. Choose 1 or d to run Disk Repair. If you get a message that Disk Repair found and corrected errors, run it again. Repeat until you get the "your disk appears to be ok" message. This rarely happens with my experience, though. This does the same thing as as booting from an external drive and running Disk Utility's repair. Only, no external drive is required!
Next, choose 2 or p to repair disk permissions. This will take a little while. AppleJack warns that it will take up to an half hour to run repair permissions. It'n never taken more than about ten minutes for my MacBook Pro.
As permissions are repaired, you will see each repair scroll on the screen. When done, the menu returns, choose q to quit. Then at the prompt, enter "exit" without the quotes. Your MacBook Pro should restart into Mac OS normally after this.
Hope this helps.

How do I download a Adobe PDF file and get it converted to a Word document?

How do I download a Adobe PDF file and get it converted to a Word document?

Download: you just download it as you would any other document.
Convert to Word: either using the ExportPDF online service, or Acrobat.

Since the recent upgrade from Adobe pdf plug-inn Firefox often won't open pdf-files. Uninstalling doesn't help. I don't have this problem with Internet Explorer.

Hi efacg,
Most printing issues are solved by resetting the Printing preferences. When you print from Firefox and you click on the down arrow, do you see Defualt and Firefox? Please make changes to the preferences here and preview the document.
If this continues to be an issue please also see [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
If there are any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask, we are here to help.

I am trying to add a pdf file into my website which must be readable to all but must not be download able to anybody

I am trying to add a pdf file into my website which must be readable to all but must not be download able to anybody.
The document is about motivational topics likes short stories and quotes and the website is [link removed]
If anybody is already using such interface please suggest.

There is absolutely no way to stop any file you put on the internet from being downloaded. That's how the internet works.
Digital Rights Management can control who can OPEN a copy of a file and when. If you are a big company with 5-6 figure budget, this can be interesting.

I downloaded Redear to see if it could open an old .pdf file. Now I cannot open any .pdf files.

What is wrong with Reader? Having loaded it I now cannot open any .pdf file in my computer or on email.

I gave up loading then scouring out Adobe products each time it told me Flash Player was loaded but was nowhere to be found on my system. I have now done what I expect is the intention in that I have downloaded the full Adobe trial pack, which they then expect me to purchase.
Cannot get over the impression that the fault is deliberate. Building in the requirement for all users then loading a weak link, that drives you to purchase.
Shockwave is FREE... Flash Player is FREE.... Adobe Reader is FREE... Adobe AIR is FREE... Those four products are, and always have been, FREE... Flash Professional, which is for creating and editing Flash animation and video files, is a paid licensed product. Acrobat Professional, which is for creating and editing PDFs, is a paid licensed product. Neither Flash Player nor Adobe Reader have any links to prompt an upgrade to the professional version of software for the file format. Never have. Viewing Flash content and PDFs needs to be universally available to the public who receive such content over the Internet. Creating and editing Flash files and PDFs is not something that everyone needs, so it's only available at a cost for those who need it and choose to use Flash Pro or Acrobat.
There are Creative suites with several Adobe applications for everything from photo and graphic editing, to video editing, to making e-readers, to web design, but those are for developers of the individual media.

PDF files used to open with a "save" option, and I have Acrobat 9 Pro installed on my system (running Windows 7). Now, that icon is gone and I can't save. Is there another way to configure the plug-in or is Firefox preventing this or what? THANK YOU.

this is a new problem. Running Windows 7, latest update of Firefox 3.6.13. Under "Applications", I'm set to "open Adobe Acrobat inside Firefox" (which is what I have always done, then if I wanted to, I saved the PDF file elsewhere). should I/ can I open the PDFs outside Firefox, with my Adobe 9 Pro program?

■ Use '''Tools -> Options -> Applications ->''' then look under content for Adobe Acrobat forms etc;
 note a choice of options is usually available
* see [[Options window - Applications panel]]
Firefox is of course a web browser. Acrobat reader is Adobe's program used to read and display the pfd files on your computer. Other programs may be used instead of Acrobat reader. You would normally have the Acrobat program and the pdf file present on the local computer, often both on the same hard drive, if you were opening individual pdf files directly with Acrobat.
Firefox uses a plugin so that it may use Acrobat to open pdf files and display the results within a firefox window or tab. If you do not have that plugin installed, or it is not enabled firefox may be unsure what to do with the file and offer to save it to whatever your default local download location is, without attempting to open the file in firefox.

Cannot open a pdf file - i get a long string of coding and no text

I try to open a pdf file but get a string of codes.

10.9.5 should be able to run the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader, which should open almost any PDF file. http://www.adobe.com/ has a place to download the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader. Preview application can open most Acrobat files, though a few written with the latest Acrobat may not work. Some forms may not properly become editable under Preview, though you can write text to PDF files independent of forms with Preview. The fact you are getting codes says that the file is likely an incomplete download of an Acrobat file, or a compressed Acrobat file in some unknown format. Usually control-clicking the file and selecting Open With will reveal what programs can open it. Bomarchiver is the built-in decompression tool of Mac OS X, which if selected should open most compressed archives. Find out the source of the document and determine why it may not be complete, or who compressed it with what.

My PDF files are now identified as Firefox HTML documents, how to fix it?(only icons changed, extension is still .pdf)

After I uninstalled Firefox, all icons returned to usual PDF icons and files were identified as "PDF" files,
but when I installed Firefox (31.0) again, all PDF files again are identified as "Firefox HTML document".
Extensions do not change, they are always .pdf, and files automatically open in Adobe Acrobat,
but icons became "firefox HTML documents" icons and it is very confusing.

Thanks Robinson3 !
The most economical solution.
Not only worked for PDF files but also for other similar problem.
Of all offered solutions this looks the most bang on.
Hope, the problem will not return (but even if it returns the solution
is so fast and simple).
I did exactly the following (all steps included) :
Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types > New > PDF>Advanced>
>Associated File Type, and choose "Adobe PDF reader"

My pdf file is now no longer accessible in My Documents. I have to go through Downloads.
