Open PDF-Files failed

Hi All,
since we have updated our NW2004s Portal to SPS 14 we have problems in opening files that are over 1MB.
In our repository manager we configured that all files > 1MB should be zipped.
And these files result to the error-message: File doesnot start with %PDF.
I think its an gzip problem, but how can I resolve this problem.
Not good in a productive environment.
Really thanks for helping me
Bye Steve

Hi Steve
SPS14 patch 1 solved the problem for us.
I found it here:
https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/swdc/notes/default.htm?cvnr=01200314690200006411&support_package=SP014&patch_level=000001
Note that this is a patch for WPC - not general KM.
Best regards,

Fail to open PDF file. Error for trying to paste in object.

So occasionaly, i will paste in a PDF into my InDesign document and this error will pop up, Fail to open PDF file. It's not like im opening
the file im just trying to paste it in. I try other pdf files and the same error comes up. Usually this error does not happen when i am pasting in
PDF's into my document but when one error comes up, no PDF's will work. I have to resave my file into another format and then it will work.
What is up with these errors that happen sometimes?

Failed to open pdf files

Hi,
I guess since the latest os/safari upgrade, the application has failed to open pdf files on several occasions. It's one of those files that you have to download then I guess the safari or adobe reader opens it... The beach ball keeps spinning and safari has to be force quit. I have the latest safari and adobe reader.
Can someone please help, thanks.

Why not let Safari/Preview handle your PDF files? Tiger offers this alternative. To do so, remove the Adobe Reader plug-in from your Internet Plug-in folder (may be in either your Main or User Library folder). When Safari encounters a PDF file, it will then automatically open the file in Safari using Previews PDF format.
Another alternative (which includes removing the Adobe plug-in) is to use PDF Browser Plug-in. This plug-in is freeware for private use.

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way. I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers). If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged. This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

Firefox won't open PDF files after I removed older version of PDF-xChange Viewer and installed the lastest version of PDF-xChange Viewer. MS Explorer which I am now force to use works OK. I have checked the Applications window in Tools/Options and it l

Firefox no longer opens PDF files. Explorer works OK. I have checked the Applications window in the Tools/Options and it says I am using PDF-xChange viewer....It just does not do anything. I get the message in the Download Error window which says...."could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. Is the same error which I get when I attempt to open a PDF file on a webpage using the Firefox browser....Explorer works OK so I am now forced to Explorer to read PDF files via a browser.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After removing a old copy of PDF-xChange Viewer and updating to the last version

The error message suggests that the file (pdf) that you're trying to download cannot be saved in the folder Firefox tries to save it in.
This can be due to several things - it could be a non-existing folder (could be a problem with the updated application), the hard drive could be too full to store the file (less likely if you can generally surf the net without error messages) or it could contain an error.
To complicate things a little further, it seems to me that you have (at least) 3 different PDF-handling plugins in Firefox from different programs:
PDF-XChange Viewer Netscape Gecko Plugin
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.3.2"
Zeon PDF Plugin For Mozilla
This shouldn't matter too much, thou, as it will most likely simply use either the latest installed or the first one it finds when looking up associations for files of type 'pdf'.
First, in Tools > Options... > tab General > section File download, select "Save files in" and Browse your way to a (non-writeprotected!) folder on a drive where you're certain there is enough free space - like the Desktop folder to make the files end up on your Windows desktop.
Second, under Applications as you mention yourself, find all document types related to PDF files, and set these to one of the programs. Check the entire list to be sure there isn't one hiding under one of the other programs' document types (Adobe Acrobat document, PDF X-Change and Zeon).
Restart Firefox, and try opening a PDF again.
If it fails once more, try changing the documents again to one of the other programs, like "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)".
If it STILL fails, change it to simply "Save file". Then you can simply browse your way to the download folder with Windows Explorer, and doubleclick the PDF file to see which program actually handles PDF files as default on the machine, and if it works properly.
If Firefox flatly refuses to save the PDF files in a folder which you're certain both exist and has space for the file, some (probably security related) program is most likely interfering with Firefox, preventing it in storing PDF files on the system.

I'm not able to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.

I recently updated to Adobe Reader XI and now I can't open any of my PDF documents or PDF e-mail attachments. When I click on a document I now get a window that asks if I want to allow this file to open. I click yes and get a monstrousity the likes I've never seen. It blacks out my screen for a couple seconds and then I get a mixture of my desktop, task bar, and a window wanting to know if I want to open this with Protected Mode disabled. It only fills 3/4 of the screen, the items all all blown-up in size, and are distorted. In playing with this I have gotten notes that I have an "Incompatable Application" and "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDS Server". On occasion I will get an Adobe Reader screen that is completely greyed out with no content in it and after a couple of seconds it goes off. Other times I got the window about Protected Mode and I've clicked on to disable it but that doesn't work either. I removed Adobe Reader XI and re-installed Adobe Reader X and I still have the same problem which I did not have before. I 'm running Windows 7 Professional and have McAfee anti-virus, which I have disbled on one occasion during download and that I still had the same problem. I went to program files to find the End User License Agreement and try to see if I needed to click on 'Accept" but it tells me the file does not exist. I even tried using System Restore to take me back to before I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and I still have this problem. I'm at the end of my knowledge level and because these files are needed in my business I'm only able to operate at about 50%.

Unable to open PDF files in IE 10

I'm using IE 10.0.9200.17028 and Adobe Reader 11.0.07. When accessing any website in IE 10 and clicking on a link to PDF file, a dialogue box opens that prompts to open or save PDF file. On selecting any of these options, operation fails. Looking at the name of the file in dialogue box, it appears that file name has become _pdf instead of .pdf
When I select Open, a blank IE window opens. On selecting Save/Save As, I see message ".._pdf file couldn't be downloaded". I cannot open PDF in IE 10.
Issue cannot be replicated when I use Chrome or Firefox. Also, I'm able to open any PDF file from my local drive.
In IE 10, I have checked Tools > Manage Add-ons > Toolbars and extensions > select "Run without permissions" in Show section > Adobe PDF Reader. Its status is enabled.
Any idea how to be able to open PDF files in IE 10?

This is probably a fault with the specific pdf file. If this is the case contact its creator. Can you download pdf files available on the Adobe website?

Opening .pdf files in IE 10 & 11

We have online modules in an LMS. Learners cannot open the .pdf attachments in these modules if they are using IE 10 or 11 as their browser.
There is lots of discussion of this problem in other forums and fairly sophisticated solutions have been offered to individuals making enquiries on this issue e.g. making changes to the registry.
My problem is that many of our learners are in agencies where computers are networked and they are not Admin on their computers. Their tech people will not allow downloading a different browser, making changes to IE settings nor making changes
in their registry i.e. any of the offered suggestions re overcoming the opening .pdf files problem.
Is their something simple anyone could suggest to allow restricted IE 10 & 11 users to open .pdf's on a website?
Thanks.
Judy

Hi Judy,
The following are the main reasons why PDF files cannot be displayed:
1. Security settings. Internet Explorer security settings may block the PDF from lauching successfully.
2. Failed installation of the PDF viewer.
4. One of your add-ons that causing this.
3. Incompatiblity with the design of a website. Some websites are specifically designed to use Acrobat for displaying PDF files. These sites will not work with PDF.
Solution 1: Ensure that the Internet Explorer security settings are not set to high. Also disable enhanced protected mode.
Solution 2: Make sure you have the correct PDF reader add-ons and set to correct settings.
Solution 3: Manage add-ons in Internet Explorer:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/manage-add-ons#ie=ie-10-win-7
Solution 4: Use compatibility mode (go to tools --> Compatibility View Settings) to check the issue.
Since people unable to make changes on settings, you may consider to contact the IT administrator or someone with admin rights to fix the issue.
Hope it helps.

AS2, Flash 8 and opening pdf files

Hi all,
I am using Flash 8, Actionscript 2, to open pdf files from a
projector.
Everything is fine if I use 'FreeMX' and the computer has
Acrobat 5, 6, 7 installed.
But it fails to work if the computer has Adobe Reader 8
installed - the pdf document does not open.
Does anyone know of this and whether there is a workround?
It's kinda urgent - the client is breathing down my neck here:)
Julian

I think I may have resolved my problem - it looks like Adobe
Reader 8 uses different code to parse its command line than before.
The path and file name I used in my code had '/' as the path
separator, which worked fine with Acrobat/Reader 6 and 7. But (at
least here) not with Adobe Reader 8 - instead I had to convert to
'\' to make it work.

HT5313 I cannot download & open pdf files on Safari but can do so on Google Chrome browser?

After upgrading to Lion 10.7.4 , I cannot open pdf files on Safari 5.1.7 but can do so on Google chrome browser? I get a message that the file cannot be exported?

look in
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
and remove any with 'pdf' in the name, then restart safari.
failing that - check in the same folder within your user 'home' Library
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
in either case, you can triple-click the names above to select, then ctrl-click & choose Services - Open which should open a new Finder window showing the folder

How can I make chromium to open PDF files directly in okular?

Hi all,
I switched from firefox to chromium and there is one thing that I would like to have solved: At the moment, the only way to open PDF files from the web is to first save them locally and open them afterwards from the chromium statusbar or from the chromium downloads tab (chrome://downloads/). Is there a way to configure chromium to open PDF files directly from a remote URL in okular?
Thanks in advance & kind regards,
jamesbond007.

Yes, I would like to know that as well. Here it tries to open pdf files with the adobe plugin but fails (grey window). It's especially annoying with javascript links that do not allow to use "save as".
