New keynote (6.5.2) produces zero-byte document when printing to pdf

I want a pdf version of a 30-slide Keynote presentation. Using the latest version of Keynote, print to pdf generates an output pdf file that is zero bytes in length. It does this whether I print all 30 slides, just one slide, etc. This is on Yosemite 10.10.1.

Hi Ben and thanks for your reply.
Just to clarify a couple of things:
Unfortunately, as I mentioned, for various reasons to do with our print profiles etc we are currently required to print to pdf rather than export. Hopefully this will change soon, but for the moment it's unfortunately not an option.
Also, MathType only allows you to save equations as either eps or gif files and, seeing as we need them to be editable in case of revisions (not to mention quality of image rendering) eps is clearly the preferable format of the two.
Essentially, we don't have a choice about these two issues, so I'm really wondering if anyone out there can shed any light on what the cause of the error may be - particularly as it's only become an issue since upgrading to CS5 and MathType 6 (from CS2 and MathType 5).
Thanks

Why won't adobe standard XI v11.0.0.7 produce pdf when print to pdf selected in word/web, etc.

It will give option to select location to save to but after that, the pdf is not created. Have deleted the adobe pdf device from printers/device and recreated with same results. have uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck.

Print 2:1 layout from numbers into pdf zero bytes

Output desired
1 page landscape with page 1 and 2 side by side
Problem: zero byte output when layout changed
Hi before mavericks / last numbers update i used to be able to print a spreadsheet with 2 separate sheets on one landscape page, by choosing print-->print...>layout (2 pages per sheet), then save as PDF. Anytime I choose anything other than 1 page per sheet the resulting PDF file has zero bytes and doesn't work. The print preview in numbers looks correct as well as the print dialogue preview. Something is failing in the export. Any ideas?

Hi lotsokids,
Just to ensure we are all singing the same tune .
A Numbers document consists of one or more sheets (tabs).
Each sheet can have one or more tables plus other objects (shapes, charts, text boxes... ).
A page is a piece of paper in your printer.
Am I right in thinking you have two tables on one sheet?
And you want to line them up within the page margins so that they both print on one page? Screen shot from Print Preview:
Numbers 3 has lost the good old Print View and Layout View of Numbers 2. We are stuck with Print Preview with limited editing options. We can set page margins, orientation (landscape or portrait), page headers and footers, print This Sheet or All Sheets. You may have to drag the Print Setup Panel up to see all the options.
To help align objects within the page margins, click on Done to close Print Preview. Then Menu > Numbers > Preferences > Rulers (and tick all boxes).
Alignment Guides can be dragged from the rulers to show page margins.
See this User Tip on creating a Layout Guide in Numbers 3:

Many of my files are empty (zero bytes)

Why are my files blank? And when i open iCloud it is a mess.

Not sure if this is the same issue I am experiencing: I upgraded to Mavericks and the new iWorks suite recently on all my machines. I notice that in iCloud, I have files stating "zero bytes" on my MacMini, while on the MacBook Pro, the files are "normal size" and can be opened. iCloud is synching the files, but not transferring data. KeyNote, Pages are working well, but Numbers doesn't transfer the data to the other machines connected to iCloud, only the file name shows up. iCloud preference is selected to sync Numbers (and the other apps). This was not happening until after the upgrade. Any ideas?

IMac went crazy, no fixed but many files become zero bytes in size

I don't even know where to start. I guess first I'll list some background information:
My wife and I share a iMac which she uses it as her workstation for illustration and I use it as Plex Media Server and Transmission etc. So she would normally use it by day, but my account would be always logged in in the background and I use SSH and Remote Desktop to control my account.
And since the ultimate symptom are I don't how many zero byte files, here are some configuration information.
1) iMac 27" late 2012 with 128 GB Apple SSD and 3TB HDD
2) A custom fusion drive with 1 logical volume consist of 3 physical volumes.
3) The configuration is odd because I wanted to use both fusion drive and BOOTCAMP. So there is a BOOTCAMP volume as well.
This happened in the past couple of days. At first my wife was complaining about loosing wifi connection and keyboard connectivity problems. For wifi I typically instructed her to turn wifi on and off or try to reboot the computer. For the keyboard problem, it turned out to be a software problem not Bluetooth because disabling a third part IME seemed to resolve the problem.
Then at one night, she accidentally unplug the iMac while it's on (it's always on, and my wife never reboot or shut it down unless I intervene). No she freaked out as she couldn't remember if she saved her illustration work. Luckily she did. And at this point of time, after booting it up, the PSD file was intact and the latest version. Okay, we moved on. I didn't worry about too much about the power failure because this happened before. And normally Disk Utility in Recovery HD would fix the problem.
Then on the day after, it started loosing sound. So I tried to fix it. Now when I tried to login, it said "Cannot find "login" keychains". Choose "Restore to Default", doesn't work and Finder was keeping crashing and relaunching. Hopping a restart would fixed but it didn't. Then I tried all regular maintaining techniques include fix disk, fix permission, clear all sorts of caches with OnyX. Because there was a power failure, the disk did need some repairing and according to Disk Utility, it appeared OK now, but the problem was still there.
Then I created a new user, works seemingly fine. Deleted my old account and created it agin with the same UID, same problem. Almost all the applications failed to launch except "Notes" and "Maps". It seemed to be a user problem but using the same user ID but new Home folder, the problem came back. This baffled me. I never came across something like this.
Then I hoped upgrade system to 10.10.3 would help (it was 10.10.2). And it did. Now finder can open. Keychains still missing and could be reset to default. But at least I could open Keychains Access now. And from there I created a new login keychain. And my wife's account didn't have this keychain issue, I assumed the situation was under control.
Now, the wired thing happened. My wife fired up Photoshop, it's reporting problems loading preferences. Moved preferences file else where, it said unexpected EOF. Looked it up and ended LAYOUT.psp or something became zero bytes. I deleted it and let photoshop create default one. Now photoshop works. But the PSD my wife panicked about earlier became zero byte.
Verified the disk again, appears to be OK, again, appears to be OK.
The only thing worth mentioning was the amount of something called "Metadata Volume" and "double redundancy". It says "The Logical Volume Family has a 4482 MB Metadata Volume double redundancy". I'm not sure whether or not this is usual.
Now I'm trying to recovery all the PSD files on the disk with a Data Recovery App. But while I'm waiting I found some other files now its zero bytes. This really worries me. And I'm still not sure what cause the problem or even what the problem was or is. I suspect it has something to do with fusion drive as when I do rsync -W --inplace, the speed is normally 20~30 which is a bit low to me.
If you read this far, I really appreciate it. I'm sorry it's so long and unclear. It's because its like nothing I encountered before and the problem is hidden with many little issues on the surface.
But I will try to summarise my question:
1) What could possibly be the root cause of those problems
2) What happened to those files.
3) Is there anyway to recovery them other than standing all the sectors of the disk
4) Would it be better off with fusion drive.

Deployed EJB.jar has some classes with zero bytes

Has anyone hit a situation where Windows Jdev 902 puts class files into the ....EJB.jar file with zero bytes? In my case, the eight zero length classes are: seven My...Row.class files and the MyApplicationModule.class file. They all are in the /mypackage/common/ package and are in the ...classes/mypackage/common/ file folder.
I can use PKZIP to delete the zero length classes and add them back into the .jar and everything works as expected.
There are no error messages generated during the deployment that creates the .jar file that has the problem.

This was posted on another thread by jdev team...
We have been following this issue in support TAR 2274825.996. I sent some technical detail to the support rep on July 10, but it looks like that information never got added to the TAR. Well, FWIW, here it is:
The user may be running out of open files. The
stdio library which underlies Win32 programs (like the JVM) has a
limit on the number of files that can be open concurrently. The
limit is around 2000-2100 open files (I tested this on NT, 2000, and
XP), and the limit is on a per-process basis. If the user is running
into this limit because JDev has too many open files, then the utility
methods we use to open JAR files or other streams could be receiving
a java.io.FileNotFoundException exception with the message "Too many
open files". To verify this: go to the Windows Task Manager, go to
View | Select Columns... and be sure the "Handle Count" checkbox is
checked. Does the jdev.exe process have a disproportionately higher
number of handles than other processes? If the Handle Count is above
2000 (approx), JDev might be running out of open files. (I say "might" because
the Handle Count is for many different kinds of Win32 kernel objects,
not just for file handles.) If the Handle Count is the problem, then
it would explain the transient, nondeterministic behavior that the
user is reporting. Because the Handle limit is per-process, it would
explain why the user is able to use PKZIP or WinZip to repair the JAR
file. Try closing editors before deploying and see if that helps.
If the user confirms that the Handle Count is excessive, then we may
have a Handle leak of some kind in the product that will need to be
fixed.
Also try running JDev using "jdev -hotspot" on the command line instead
of just "jdev" and see if the behavior changes.
Hope that helps. We are monitoring the TAR, but no one has been able to reproduce the problem you are reporting, even with the files attached to the TAR, and yours is the only report so far that we've received about this specific problem.
I have added several more entities and views into app module. As I added each one, the list of zero byte jar classes would change, but always about 7-8 bad ones. Now that I am no longer adding new entities/views, the problem has become stable and repeatable. The same classes ALWAYS show up with zero bytes.
I monitored jdevw.exe while doing the deploy, and the number of handles never went above 675. I ran with jdevw.exe -hotspot and the results were exactly the same.
thanks,
Roger

Copy doesn't work and creates zero bytes files that I can't delete.

After installing Yosemite (I am now using version 10.10.1) I had problems copying files.
Sometimes (not always) it doesn't copy files from a folder to another using the simple cmd-c cmd-v procedure. Even if both folders are on the desktop. It creates many empty files (white icons, zero bytes) named as my files, but the copy isn't happening.
The main problem is that I cannot delete the files anyhow. If they are in a folder I can delete the whole folder and empty the trash.
It doesn't happen everytime, but yesterday I had the same problem copying a few videos to the desktop and I can't get rid of them (because I obviously can't delete the desktop folder...).
Can anybody help me? I need to be able to delete those zero bytes files that are now on my desktop.
I tried to drag them into a folder but it wouldn't let me. As well, I tried to copy the same files to the desktop to see if they disappeared, but the new files copied were renamed with 2 (ex. I had the zero byte file called IMG_0705.MOV on my desktop. I tried to paste the same file and it appeared named as IMG_0705 2.MOV).
I don't know what to do...
Thanks

Take it to an Apple store or AASP. How much it will cost will depend on their determination of the problems. To bad you didn't purchase extended AppleCare. No you don't get your money back for purchasing Lion.

Zero bytes - iCloud is eating my documents!

Hello - I have transferred a load of files to my iCloud drive and I now am finding that about 20% of them show in finder as Zero bytes, both in iCloud.com and on my mac.   Where on earth has the file gone? I can't access the contents anywhere and need to go back to my (cleverly retained) backup..
Is this a feature? Will it suddenly appear? Or is it lost in the clouds?

Let's try this:
create or replace procedure foo
is
t number;
begin
select 1 into t from dual;
end;
import java.sql.*;
public class call
    public static void main(String args[])
        throws Exception
        DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
        Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(args[0], args[1], args[2]);
        int loop_count = 100;
        String sql = "{ call foo() }";
        CallableStatement stmt = connection.prepareCall(sql);
        for (int n = 0; n < 10; n++) {
            long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
            for (int m = 0; m < loop_count; m++)
                stmt.execute();
            long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
            System.out.println("time: " + (end - start) + " ms");
        stmt.close();
}Here are my timings (Java1.4, Oracle 8, Oracle 8 thin driver; very similar if I try with Oracle 9 drivers against Oracle 8 server):
time: 245 ms
time: 145 ms
time: 147 ms
time: 188 ms
time: 158 ms
time: 144 ms
time: 139 ms
time: 148 ms
time: 134 ms
time: 327 ms
What times do you get with that test?

I have problems saving powerpoint, they become zero bytes

Hi,
I have been having problems with powerpoint file, (also PDF files) I saved them at work on a USB stick using a Windows Computer, and some of the files become zero bytes after I tried to open them at home using Mac Air. I thought it was the problem of the USB stick but I just saved a powerpoint on OneDrive and the same problem existed again, the powerpoint became blank!! in zero byte.....Thankfully I can recover the file. But please can anyone help me to avoid this problem again??
Thanks.

If the apps which are supposed to be especially designed for MS Office stuff, like QuickOffice or Documents to Go or Office², fail to handle your PowerPoints, by all means go and complain to the people who make them.
To ask Apple for improvements in Keynote, you can go to this site (but in the end the compatibility of Apple's programs with MS stuff will always be only partial).

Resolving "IOException: Underlying input stream returned zero bytes" errors

Hi guys,
I'm currently working on a simple application that reads GPS receiver data from a serial port using the RXTX library. However, everytime I try to read the resulting InputStream (which I convert to a BufferedReader) using readLine(), after 2 or 3 lines of reading normally, I always get the following exception:
GPSNotifier::run(): I/O error encountered while reading from COM4
java.io.IOException: Underlying input stream returned zero bytes
at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder.readBytes(StreamDecoder.java:268)
at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder.implRead(StreamDecoder.java:306)

at java.io.BufferedReader.readLine(BufferedReader.java:362)
at discomm.gps.GPSNotifier.run(GPSNotifier.java:260)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
I'm not sure how to fix this problem, since it occurs everytime I run the application. The code for opening the stream is as follows:
// Open up the port: no problems here ...
CommPortIdentifier comm = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifier(port_name);
CommPort port = comm.open(APP_NAME, OPEN_TIMEOUT);
SerialPort serial_port = (SerialPort) port;
serial_port.setSerialPortParams(PORT_BAUDRATE, PORT_DATABITS, PORT_STOPBITS, PORT_PARITY);
BufferedReader in = BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(serial_port.getInputStream()));
String line = null;
// Problem is here ...
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
}The IOException always occurs when readLine() is called. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Simon Liu

I don't use readLine() but read()
A bit of code:
          BufferedReader inStream = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
          byte ch = 0;
          char myChar;
          int charVal;
          try{
               while((ch = (byte)inStream.read()) != -1){
                    if((ch == 13) || (ch == 10)){ //In ASCII code: 13 = Carriage return, 10 = line feed. When the GPS receiver sends those characters, the while loop must be broken to avoid an IOException
                         break;
                    }else{
                         myChar = (char)ch;
                    charVal = myChar;
                    //System.out.print("byte=" + ch +" myChar=" + myChar + " charVal=" + charVal + "\n");
                    System.out.print(myChar);
               }

Copying zero byte pdf files infinitely between shared computers

I've just had a nasty experience (which has happened years before in lower operating systems) and is extremely annoying. My Mac Mini and MacBook are set to share files. On my Mini (running 10.7.5) I create a pdf file from a "Print this page" option on a Safari webpage (using "Print this page" => PDF => Save as PDF). The file shows up ok in the finder of my Mini. Then in another finder window I open my shared MacBook (running Mavericks) and navigate to the folder I wish to copy into.
I drag and drop the file into said folder on the shared Mac, and an info window appears to show the copy process. There is a progress bar, but the process is never completed, but appears stalled. I go away and come back an hour later. Same thing still happening. I check on my MacBook and the folder is now filled with tens of thousands (literally!) of zero byte files, being added to infinitely.
Talk about annoying! Then the finder balks at putting these in the Trash. Then the Trash balks at being emptied. I found the best thing is to drag out of the contaminated folder the files I keep, put them into a new folder, and trash the entire folder that has been filled with you-know-what.
I also turned off TechTool's Trash history option in Preferences, because that would be driven crazy by his process. I checked Activity Monitor, and Finder was shown as NOT RESPONDING several times during this process. Finally got rid of the files. Now I'm using DropBox to transfer files. Sharing web PDF's between my Mac's has become a hazardous experience.
Anyone else have this experience? Any idea how to prevent it? Or is Apple needing to make a software update for this?

More likely that Techtool needs to make an update. Ask Micromat.

Zero-byte attachments

having problems with powerpoint(pps) and wmv attachments coming from pc senders through Mail. When I try to open these attachmts, the proper app begins to launch(keynote for pps, etc) but I get an "unknown error" or "import error" message. Upon looking at these files, they are zero bytes. thanks for your ideas

Hello n:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
wmv attachments
If you have not done so, download Flip4Mac. That permits WMV files to open in Quicktime.

I use Office 2004 to open the rare powerpoint file I receive and have not had problems (but I cannot remember when I got the last one).

Over local network file copying stays at Zero Bytes...

I am not sure what section to put this under or what is causing the problem. It seems I cant access files over my home network any more.
My wife has a 2.4 c2d Macbook running 10.7.2, I have a 2.4 c2d iMac running 10.7.2, and we use an AirPort Extreme base station.
She has a user set up on my computer so she can connect over the network. File sharing and Print sharing are enabled. She has been added to the external drive with the files on it as a read only user. Everything has worked well until very recently.
First Playback, the program I use for uPnP streaming to my xbox, ceases to function. To the best I can find, that is due to a change in how the xbox requests files since a recent update. Not an apple problem but it did spur me to use a more direct approach: Plug the laptop to the television and open the file via my wife's macbook. After connecting to my imac over the local wireless network and browsing to the file, I first attempted to directly open the video. This method has worked well in the past. I took about 5 minutes before quicktime launched. Quicktime did report the run time of the video but failed to ever display any frames and effectively froze. I shut down the macbook, rebooted. This time after browsing to the file I attempted to copy it over the network to her computer. This resulted in finder making it so far as to actually say Copying the file but the progress remained at Zero Bytes and the progress bar never resized. After 10 minutes like this, I canceled that transfer and waited until that process closed. I chose another file that had a thumbnail instead of the quicktime icon in hopes of better compatability. The quick look preview began to spiral and I got the rainbow wheel as a cursor. I never got the oportunity to begin to attempt the new file. I had to reboot the macbook again to stop that process.
Placing the original file on a usb stick and then again on her computer has allowed me to open the file on both machines.
When I first switched from windows, fixing these types of issues often confused me as I looked for the complex windowsesque settings and options. I often miss the simple and obvious way to fix most mac problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Normal. See:

Using my Mac all pdfs result in zero byte files

I have uninstalled and reinstalled with the same result.

This sounds very alarming. Please help us understand what you are seeing as it is not typical and may even be unique. For instance,
* are these old PDFs which used to be fine but which now are not?
* is it new PDFs that you are making (how)?
* how do you see that they are zero bytes?
* what Mac OS?
* anything else you can think of especially, other strange things starting around the same time.
