Open a .pdf!!!

Hy,
I've got a file: usa-grants-inc.pdf from a friend of mine and I really need to open it. I'm trying to do that with Acrobat Reader but I keep getting an error message. Is there any other way I can open my file? I really need that information.
Can anyone help me please?

You may want to ask in the Reader forum but it would certainly help to know what the error message is. There are many of them.
Also, what version of Reader, what OS, how you're getting the file (via email, downloading from a site...etc).
The more information you give the better chance you have at getting a quick answer.

How can I open a PDF stored in IXOS and then display it in a BSP

Hello gurus,
I have created a PDF icon and an onclick action to open a pdf, that displays on every row of an assignment block in the actions column, but I do not know the technical process to determine how to get a PDF from the IXOS system from the line selected. (even if I know it depends on an ID attribute of that assignment block) I want to to call a transaction launcher with the url for the pdf in the IXOS that has an ID that identifies which line in the assignment block the user has clicked the pdf icon for (does that make sense?)
Therefore, I am assuming the PDF should correspond to the relance ID of the row in the assignment block, but I would like more information as per the business logic involved in able to achieve the desired results for this particular specification. I already confirmed that the XURL or any other attribute in the BOL object does not contain the URL to use for this. I have looked at the class I was told that it may contain the required business logic for determining which PDF in IXOS to fetch for a particular row, and I am currently trying to reverse engineer the logic through looking at other code and using the debugger, but so far I haven'T had much luck.
Here are some questions I have now for the functional side in the meantime:
1) Can we fetch the PDF in IXOS for each line of an assignment block?
2) Which URL should I call with the transaction launcher? a URL link to the PDF on the IXOS system??
3) Do we have to configure a transaction in the IMG to be launched?
4) Do we have to create a logical link there that I will make dynamic to call the right PDF for each table line?
5) Are there any existing examples of this or a similar functionality/ logic that I could refer to, preferably in CRM 7 WebUI?
6) Do you have any code to just display a PDF in a new window? Or prompt a download?
One possible way I thought of would be for me to have a logical link defined in the IMG, that I could call passing it different attributes (eg. some object id, etc) and then return the PDF and display it in the UI in a new browser window by itself. Alternatively, we can just prompt a download. What do you think would be the optimal behaviour here?
Please do not hesitate to propose any potential solution. Any partial answers/ links to wikis/ other threads, anything would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Jonathan Laplante

Hi,
I partially answered your question in another posting but I feel that you´re in the wrong forum for your problem. This is for BSP development and you talk about CRM.

Error while opening a Pdf in Acrobat 9.3.4

Hi
Am getting the below error message while opening any pdf on Citrix (built on Windows 2003 Server) with Acrobat 9.3.4.
Has anyone else also seen the same? and how to resolve the same?

Update:
Opened the Pdf and found out that the certified signature has become invalid.

Error while opening a pdf file.

Hi All,
I have Adobe Reader 10.1.3 installed on my system.
I am getting the following error : "Adobe Reader could not open 'abc.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged(for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)". This error is coming at random, i.e. if I open a file at one time, it will open without any problem, but at another time the same file gives this problem. Could anyone please tell me as to why this is happening and how to resolve this?

This message occurs if a PDF file is damaged, either during downloading from a website, or during transport as an email attachment.
Are you getting this error for a file that is stored on your local HD? For this to occur at random, as you write, I can only imagine that the disk sector where it is stored is damaged.
Can you run a disk diagnostics, e.g. CHKDSK on Windows?

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is there any way to correct this problem?

When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." When I save the same PDF file using FireFox it opens up immediately. Is there any way to correct this problem with Safari?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

When I sign in to the Adobe Reader XI (which is the only option that I have to open a pdf document, I will sign in to the Adobe ID sign-in page. After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected. It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option. I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday. All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word. I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.
regards,

Opening a PDF in a specific page from a PDF created in indesign

Hello, I'm working with CS4 and I need you to click on a button, or from a "hyperlink" in a text, open a pdf file but for a given page.
I can not change the target pdf and also I have to access a single pdf into multiple pages, put an example
persone one speaks at the pdf 1, on page 14
person two speaking in pdf 1, on page 15
I wish that when you click on the person 1 opens pdf 1 on page 14, and when you click on the person 2 opens pdf 1 on page 15
Thanks in advance
mateo

Thanks, I had not noticed in the new dialogue coming out. Thank you very much. A greeting.
Muchas gracias
mateo
Rectification
ohhh, no, the page references are to an indesign document, not a PDF
I have not indesign files where you created the PDF to which I have to jump and I can not add bookmarks to pdf, pdf files are protected.
thanks

Can not open all .pdf files in Yahoo Mail.

Three computers using Windows XP and Internet Explorer can open all .pdf files in Yahoo
Mail. The fourth and newest Computer with XP Pro, Internet Explorer, and the latest Adobe
Reader can only open some, but not all, .pdf files in Yahoo Mail. Nothing happens when
the window is clicked to open file. How can this be fixed?

Adobe Reader isn't my favorite, but neither are smug and uninformed assertions about Preview. There are PDFs that render only squares and marks under Preview (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/24209/this-pdf-displays-with-question-m arks-instead-of-letters), which is a common problem in MS Windows Office generated PDFs, so you may actually need Adobe Reader for Mac.
If you need to use Adobe Reader (as I do), then it may depend on the filesystem type where you save your PDF. For example, our Macs are network homed. Saving to desktop produced the error reported above no matter whether I used Safari:Save As, or the PDF save icon.
However, when I saved to a local drive (such as /tmp), then it worked. I don't know why file system makes a difference, unless Adobe is doing something with extended attributes that doesn't get written correctly to some filesystems.
Hope this helps.

Can not open certain pdf files in browser?

I am having an issue opening pdf's that allow you to enter data and then submit them. I can open regular pdfs in my browser just fine. I have this issue in IE 7 and 8, firefox, and chrome. It is not browser specific.
I have cleared my temp internet files. I have installed the latest version of reader. I have deselected Allow fast web view.
Like I said, regular pdfs not an issue. The type where I can enter data just provide a blank screen.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I cannot open this PDF file in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader on Windows 7 64-bit

I have a PDF file that I could open on my Windows XP 32-bit laptop in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader. I then upgraded to a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. But now in Win7-64, I cannot open this same file using the same apps (Acrobat 8 Pro & Acrobat Reader XI).
When I try to open it in Acrobat 8, it does not load and instead a popup windows appears saying -
Adobe Updater
Some components needed to complete this operation are missing but information about them may be available on the Adobe website. Would you like to search the Adobe website for the missing components?
And I can choose either the OK or Quit buttons. When I click OK, a web browser starts and goes to this website -
http://www.adobe.com/special/adobe_update_manager/?type=Filter&name=FOPN_foweb&version=0.0 .0.0&lang=en_US&os=Windows&osver=6.1.7601&appid=acrobat8pro-en_US&cpu=intel
This webpage says -
Adobe Update Manager
Adobe cannot locate the requested plugin. New plugins will be listed on this page. Currently there are no plugins.
So now I am stuck, no direction to go. I am left without any solution from Adobe for Acrobat on this file.
When I try to open this PDF file in Reader, it does not load and instead a web browser is spawned loading the webpage -
http://plugin.fileopen.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1
This is the FileOpen Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat/Reader, which prompts to -
Please click OK to download the FileOpen Plug-in Installer for Adobe Acrobat/Reader
I click on OK, download and run the Installer file, accept the terms, and installed the FileOpen Client (x64) B928. Upon completion, it prompts to Finish. But it does not automatically bring Reader up or try to load the file. So I try again to load the PDF file into Reader. But once again, the file does not load and the web browser is spawned loading the same FileOpen Plug-in Installer link. I click OK again, and start the same FileOpen Client process. This time, it recognizes that I have FileOpen Client installed, and the window gives me two choices, Repair or Remove. So since I apparently need this Plug-in, I choose Repair. The process seems to complete the Repair. But when I try to load the file, it still brings me back to the FileOpen Plug-in webpage. So now I am stuck again, and left without any solution from Adobe for Reader on this file.
I tried Adobe support. But apparently Adobe does not support past releases of their products (Acrobat 8), and also does not give free support for the current version of their free products (Reader XI).
Can this be fixed?

How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible? I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit. It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues. And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1.
And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible? I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues. And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other. So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together. If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together?
Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in. So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed. I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above.

wfb: i have no idea
wfb: how can i get this fixed? i've missed my meeting and my lunch
wfb: help?
Rachana: In this case I have 2 options, either you can renew the subscription or purchase full version retail product.
wfb: but...i don't use the product and simply want to open .pdf's. maybe you can explain what has changed at adobe?
wfb: has there been some change in policy that requires purchase in order to simply open, read and print .pdf's?
wfb: i don't know what to do
Rachana: You subscribed to a subscription, which needs to be renewed in order to use it, when the renewal stops, the product cannot be used any more.
Rachana: If you purchased retail version software, you could have opened the files, however as it's a subscription, it needs to be activated [ to activate the subscription you need to update the credit card details ].
Rachana: Unless the subscription is not renewed, no files will open from the acrobat pro software.
wfb: how do .pdf's open without it? as they once did before i purchased any subscription service?
Rachana: To open pdf files, adobe reader is needed, which is a free product from Adobe.
Rachana: However to make any changes or edit the files, you need to have adobe paid product.
wfb: i do not want to make any changes or edit files. how can i revert to my former status?
Rachana: In this case I suggest you to download Adobe reader.
Rachana: Please click here.
Rachana: Are we still connected?
wfb: yes
Rachana: Is there anything else I can help you with?
wfb: so far it has stalled it's installation with an ïnstallation pending" diagnostic
wfb: i would like it if you could remain on the chat for long enough to open a pdf
wfb: it has installed and clicking on a pdf file still just sends me back to the "renew your subscription" diagnostic
Rachana: Request you to ignore the message "renew your subscription"
wfb: o.k.
Rachana: In case if you face any issue with the Adobe free product Adobe Reader, you will have to use adobe forums link to trouble shoot the issue.
Rachana: The link for the adobe forums is
Rachana: http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums
wfb: there are only two alternatives on the acrobat XI pro renew your subscriptioin prompt, "close"and "try again"
Rachana: I have sent the adobe reader forums link above in the chat, are you able to view it.
wfb: still not having any fun
wfb: trying
Rachana: In this case request you to use the adobe reader's forum link to trouble shoot this issue.
Rachana: Is there anything else I can help you with?
wfb: i still have no feedback, cannot open the file, missed a meeting, missed lunch. although i have been invited to join the adobe reader forum. so i have joined and typed in my question. is that really where we're going to leave this?
Rachana: I am sorry, it is an technical issue.
Rachana: As you have reached the customer service, please visit forums for resolution.

You have Acrobat Pro on your system. It will try to open PDFs, and of course it will fail. You must uninstall it. Then, you will need a PDF reader. So install Adobe Reader. That seems quite simple, but perhaps something is wrong. If anything goes wrong with these two steps (1) uninstall Acrobat Pro (2) install Adobe Reader, then please let us know the details.

Open a pdf file located on Application Server from forms 10g

Dear all,
I want to open a pdf file which is stored in a folder on Application Server.
I have the following codes but could not be able to open the file.
1. host('rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler C:\REP012.pdf');
in this code I mentioned the path on local machine which is okey.
but the question is that how to open the file which is located in a folder on application server?
the following code don't show and file or error:
host('rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler /EMS/MANUALS/ACC001.PDF');
This is the file on Application Server not on local machine.
2. web.show_document('//EMS/MANUALS/ACC001.PDF/','_blank');
This give HTTP 404 NOT FOUND error
I think the problem is in path, how to mention the path of my Application Server file?
Regards:
Muhammad Nadeem

Hi,
Did you find a solution to this?
We are running into the same problem where we need to open a file present on the application server (path /opt/webapps/applications/ISL/)
When we try this from the local machine it works (path D:/forms) however it does not work while trying to open it from the application server.
