Okular freezes for some pdf files

My problem is that Okular freezes for some pdf files, the problem is NOT related to how big files are, or how many pics/raster in them. I have many pdfs that exceeds 90 MB and run smoothly. Moreover, I have also many large djvu files that run smoothly. Evince runs all files smoothly as well. I have the latest stable okular with the latest stable poppler versions as of today.
Okular freezes in a somewhat weird way, if I go down from page x to x+1 in contiuous mode, It freezes when I reach the gray bar that spearates the 2 pages, when I want to go back to page x from page x+1, which it is supposed to be cached and should load smoothly, Okular also freezes at the same place.
My problem happens with small books having almost all text, and also happens with scanned books. The weird thing is that some other scanned books and some other all-text pdfs, e.g. academic papers, runs smoothly.

Sounds like a bug. Try to report it to the bug tracker and be sure to add a file that shows the problem so that the devs can backtrace it.

Why cant I save some PDF files?

Why is it that for some PDF files under "Files" the "Save As..." function isnt working!

Ronda, Thanks again for your support. However, I would like to mention that doing it your way there is a particular issue. I have now realized it saves the document in question with the same file name, as the last document saved on that particular day, and not in the file name as you received te document!
This has a major implication, because you will not be able to quickly locate the document if you need it. The strange thing than is, you will discover the same document being listed in your "home account" Mac username folder in the file name as you receive it. I save all my documents that I donwload, into my download folder, and not into any other folder!
Do avoid this, one needs to specifically change / rename the document as one want it to be. But this greatly slows the speed of processing considering that few similar documents everyday!
Do you know a way to speed this process of saving PDF files, and only into one particular folder?

Why does reader freeze while opening some pdf files and others open instantaneously?

I use pdf files created from CamScanner and shared from DropBox. In DropBox, many times (over 50%) while opening the PDF the process freezes and the error message is Adobe Reader is not responding. If you close the program, and re-open the file, it opens fine. I have saved these files to my computer and the same issue occurs. The files are 100-500kb, so I do not think size is the issue. I have reinstalled Reader (11.1.10) and there is no improvement.

This appears to have reduced the time to load a document. Thanks Jimb From: Anubha Goel <[email protected]>

Hi. I was trying to open some pdf files and got a message my adobe reader was deinstalled. I installed a new version of Adobe Reader for Mac and when trying to open a PDF file I am getting a message in a foreign language. Any suggestions?

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

How to delete in iTunes for Mac some PDF files, previously synched with iPhone and then deleted from it?

A while ago I synced some PDF files from my iTunes to my iPhone. I've deleted those PDF files from my iPhone recently but now i'm trying to delete them from iTunes but can't. How can this be done?
P.S. Tried to select/highlight them (OK) and then to delete with cmd+Backspace - doesn't work

I am sure the URLConnection.defaultUseCaches is set before it is connected otherwise I should catch an IllegalStateException on conn.setUseCaches(false).

         URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();

Parameters for opening PDF files in a browser

I read some of the posts about making a text link from an html page to a specific location in a pdf document in the browser. I set up the parameters, as I understand it, according to the document "Parameters for Opening PDF Files." The result from my test took me to the top of page 1, not to the bookmark on page 3 that I specified. See the link below. What is wrong with the parameters?
http://www.tabardtheatre.org/YPASCfolder/2012/SummerYouthProgram2012.pdff#page=3&bookmark= anniejr
You can also go to the website: http://www.tabardtheatre.org/audition.html and click on the text link (in blue).

The PDF Open Parameters do not contain the option to link directly to a bookmark, as was mentioned, but I've developed a script that can add this functionality to your files. Have a look here, if you're interested: http://try67.blogspot.com/2011/06/acrobat-link-to-specific-bookmark-in.html

Can't download/view "some" pdf files.

I once had Adobe Reader which caused some problems. I moved it to trash. I also trashed the Adobe Reader Internet Plug-in in the Library. I still can't open some pdf files (e.g., bank monthly statements). A window opens showing the statement (which should be pdf), but when I try to save: File>Save, I get a window that opens that includes: "Export As: Statement.html" and "Format: Page Source." The Format selection feature opens a pulldown menu that allows "Web Archeive" as the only other choice.
My Library Plug-ins still show :
Is there anything else here that I need to delete? How is it that I can still download some pdf files, view them, and save them? This problem is happening on the monthly statements for a couple of financial institutions and not others!

This is so strange. I had also posted the same issues to my financial institutions and one of them just responded:
". . . this issue began with an update for Preview from Apple. We have discovered a work-around. If you Ctrl-click on the statement you would like to open (ex. January 2012), and choose "Open Link in New Window", it should open the way you are used to."
This worked! After Ctrl-clicking the window, it opens another window that now allows saving or printing the file as pdf! I can't believe Apple is leaving these issues hanging there.

Can't open some PDF files

These are probably very basic questions but here they go. I am having some trouble opening some PDF files from my school's website. I can download them just fine but when I try to open them a window pops up saying the file could not be open because there was an error.
The tricky thing is I was able to download and open PDF files from other sources (mainly email).
Because of that I went into Adobe's website and dowloaded and installed both Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader over the copies that I already had on my computer. Is that bad? Does the computer just write the new copy over the previous one I had without a problem or does it now have duplicated files in the program's folder that could lead to future malfunctioning?
Even tough I haven't noticed any changes in performance yet could that be concern for future problems (crashing, computer slowing down)? Should I reformat the HD to factory settings and start from scratch since I do not have almost any info/ files in the computer yet? Or am I better off leaving the computer as it is and not messing with trying to reformat.
When a
The other question I have is can there be PDF files that open only in Windows OS and PDF files that would work on both?
Thanks in advance

Probably you're opening pdfs using Preview. Preview is very good and it'll open almost any pdf but not 100% of them, for that you must use Acrobat Reader.
What you did was fine, just keep using the computer.

Why do some pdf files not open with Adobe Reader X, most open OK?

On my wife's 64 bit WIN 7 computer, a some pdf files will not open, but most open OK.
She uses Acrobat Reader X and MS Office 2010.
The same problem files open with no problem on my very similar computer.
Is the problem with some setting on the Acrobat Reader or something else?
Sometimes there is this error message when the problem files do not open:
Find Click2run64.msi file to install MS Office Click to Run.
But MS Office Click to Run is already installed on her PC. It is not on my PC.
Thanks for your help.

The latest Reader is 11.0.01, not 11.0.1. It is named Adobe Reader XI.
I did uninstall the Reader X and installed this latest one.
But it did not solve the problem, still could not open the problem pdf's .
I did find the problem was caused by the MS Office Click to Run error referred to in my original message. As far as I know we have no use for that on my wife's computer. Not sure how it got there. I uninstalled it and so far the problem pdf's open fine now. Problem solved.
Thanks for your help.

Some PDF files will not open

Hi - anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated as I am beyond frustrated.
I have Adobe Reader (version 11.1.3) on my Android phone (SG4) but this applies to iPhones as well. Some PDF files open without issue. But there are a few that just give me a message that says "Please wait... if this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of content. You canupgrade tot he latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows, Mac or Linux by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download."
There are 2 files specifically that boggle me. Both of these are Adobe forms, extended to reader, that I created and both were downloaded from our intranet. One will open and one will not. I tried recreating the one that will not open, had it uploaded to our intranet but still it won't open...
I can't for the life of me understand why?!?!

These are online documents, right? This message usually means that you are trying to open the doc in a browser that uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.

If an app does not behave as expected, try closing the app completely and reboot the iPad. It appears as though you have the original iPad. It helps if you list your iPad model and the iOS that you are running.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Missing text, not all, in some .pdf files

I have just started to receive some .pdf files with photos on them and text. But there are places where there should be text and it does not show up when I receive. Others are able to view this particular .pdf I'm citing in its entirety. The person who sent to me often sends me .pdf graphics/text and until now I have not had a problem viewing his .pdf files. I have a current adobe reader file - not the paid version - and it is up to date. He is sending from his apple to my windows explorer. I don't know what to do here as it is important I receive these and I have no explanation?
Also this particular .pdf he had created to be a 1/2 page ad in a local newspaper, so I think he would have designed it to be larger? But again, I've had no trouble reading what he sends even one meant for a full page ad. Is there something I can do to correct this? I did Google and it seems others have run into this on occasion.

I'm going to try to imbed the adobe image of one of the files. I notice when I look on my desktop and the file image is there, it is small icon of course, but I can see the missing words clearly on it. But when I open it up, via the adobe reader, that is when spots are blank, but when I look very closely the words are really there but a very faded gray, to be not legible. And they are clearly there if I right click and highlight.These were two areas of course where he had made some changes.
I was not allowed to download and insert the image and it is an adobe image....it says
"The content image of this type is not allowed" Interesting. It is merely an insert for fundraising - a small add (to be placed in energy invoices) for an animal group - small file. Also, remember I mentioned others could receive these two adobe files and had no problem reading those areas. It seems to be only me sad to say!

Scroll bar does not appear in some PDF files. How can I enable it?

Scroll bar does not appear in some PDF files. How can I enable it?

Scroll bars are supposed to appear when needed.
For example, scroll bars will appear when you zoom in on a page.
FAQ: How to zoom in/out on a page
Windows 8 automatically hides scroll bars after a few seconds of inactivity. Scroll bars will reappear when you touch the screen and move your finger (on a Touch-enabled device) or move your mouse.
Additionally, page navigation depends on the view mode (Single Page vs. Continuous Page).
In the Single Page mode, you can swipe left/right (horizontally) or click the left/right arrow button with your mouse to go to the previous/next page.
In the Continuous Page mode, you can swipe or scroll up/down (vertically) to go to the previous/next page.

Unable to open some pdf files

Hi there. Sorry to bother you guys but i'm really puzzled about something. Recently I've had problems opening some pdf files (they open fine on a pc). When i try to open it, the preview window opens but i am told "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." I have on several occasions downloaded the latest version, but this does not seem to solve the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? BTW I am using a macbook running on leopard. Thanks!

I don't know where bubbles went, but this just happened to me for the first time EVER using Mac OS X. I just received a pdf from a co-worker that gives me the "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." when trying to open it with Preview. Like I said, I've never had Preview fail to open a pdf before. Has this been seen before? Is there something new r different about how this pdf might have been created that Preview doesn't handle?
I had recently downloaded a demo of YNAB (You Need A Budget) which also installed Adobe AIR (ugh). Thinking that might have changed something, I uninstalled AIR, rebooted, but no change. This pdf is still unopenable in Preview.
BTW, I am totally uninterested in installing Reader on my system and am hoping I can deal with this singularity.
Thanks to anyone with any insight...
