Opening a PDF file redemption code

I have recently purchased Lion, and I have been sent a PDF file via email, which contains the redemption code to download the software through the App Store. However, I am unable to open the PDF file, even though I have a password to open the PDF (which was received in separate email). It says the file could not be opened, followed by "it may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." How to I open the PDF file?

It is best you take this up with the Apple Store directly. This is just a user to user forum. I've never had the redemption code come via PDF. It could be a spoof meant to phish for your personal information.
Best to take it up directly with them. Here's their link:

They are usually not as inaccessible as that.

Im unable to open the pdf file for the code to redeem Mountain Lion:the '*****'file could not be opened. it may be damaged or in a format that preview doesn't recognise

I've tried opening the file in ibooks, on ipad, in Safari, and straight from e-mail, but it can't open the .pdf file. Could it be corrupted? I'm brand new to the MBP so may be missing something obvious!

If Preview won't read the pdf file, try Adobe Reader. It is possible, of course, that the file may actually be damaged, as Preview should be able to open the file.

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?

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.

Opening a pdf file through form 10g

Dear all,
I have requirement to open a pdf file through my form application.
Ho will i do this?
What is the procedure to do this??
Please help me.
Regards

Can you tell me where the pdf can be found. Through a webserver or inside the database or is the pdf somewhere else?
If the pdf is available through an url you could use web.show_document which can open the url/pdf document in a new browser window.
If the pdf is inside the database you could download the pdf to the client using webutil and then open the pdf document using a host command.
If the pdf is inside the database or by a url you can also use a forms bean. I've used forms bean bean to unload a pdf from the database and show it inside the forms application. Most important when using a forms bean is that the bean component can show all the fonts which are used inside the pdf. There are some free solutions which can not show i.e. bar codes. The are also some paid components which will do the trick.

Mark

How to open a pdf file in signed version?

Hello,
I like to open a singed pdf file in the singed version mode.
If I open the pdf with command windows.open() it's possible to change the fields of the pdf file, signed fields are displayed but we don't want to give the user the change opportunity. When I open the pdf with windows.show() then the singed fields are empty and we want to see the signed fields as well.
When I do a right click on the signed field there is an option show signed version. Then the edit functions an interactive functions are disabled. This is the state I like to open the pdf files. How to achieve this?
hope that someone can help me!

Opening a PDF file in Admin mode from a windows forms application (C#)

Hi,
I need to open a pdf file using Windows Application. I have used the below code launch the pdf files.
Process prc = new Process();
            prc.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
            Environment.CurrentDirectory = @"C:\SamplePDF\";
            prc.StartInfo.Arguments = " /C sample.pdf";
            prc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
            prc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
            prc.Start();
This code is working fine without admin mode. But while running the output exe from bin folder with admin mode(right click the exe and choose "Run as Administrator"), pdf files are not launching . But its opened in the background application and I can see this from windows task manager.
Could anyone please help me on this issue ? Is there any other ways to launch a pdf file in admin mode ?

Thank you for replaying so soon..
Well you are right by using a widget and etc.. but the problem is that I have been told that this application should open a PDF file that has bookmarks to each chapter of the text and one can make a search on this text by using pdf search.. So I do not have any other choice than opening a pdf :D and my time is unfortunately limit.
For solving the problem that the user may not have PDF reader.. well I have been told that user should install the pdf reader, so in my application package I am putting the installation file of PDF.
But going back to my problem.. I guess is someway I have to get the OS type of the user and I have to do a SWITCH or something on the OS type and then change the content of the Runtime.exec(). But the question is how can I get the OS type and what should I change in Runtime.exec().
So now any idea? any solution??

Opening a pdf file in a relative link / local

Maybe this sounds simple.
But I get used to AS2 code to open a pdf file like the code below:
getURL("pdfDocuments/pdfname.pdf","_blank")
As I search uncle Google I'm stuck to this as equivalent to getURL in AS2.
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);
function btnClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL( new URLRequest("pdfDocuments/pdfname.pdf"), "_blank");
But still it did'nt work.
Before in AS2 getURL working on mailto, pdf on a relative link and a typical url's.
But as to AS3 navigateToURL function only works on mailto and typical url.
Any tweaks to the code above, to get it to work? will much appreciated.
Thanks,

There's numerous examples if you google "call javascript from actionscript".
Here's 1 that sums it up pretty simply, just import flash.external.ExternalInterface; then use it statically via its call() method to call javascript. Then in the javascript simply do what you want.
http://www.hardcode.nl/archives_155/article_334-call-javascript-function-from-as3-and-vice versa.htm
e.g. ACTIONSCRIPT:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface; // call javascript function passing to load relative URL "pdfs/some.pdf"ExternalInterface.call("loadPDF","pdfs/some.pdf");
e.g. HTML
<html><head><script type="text/javascript">// </script><body> </body></html>
Nothing really much to it.
Here's a reference to window.open() if you want to customize the opened window:

Extract image in PDF file - vba code in Excel

Hi All,
I am applying a solution for my company. We have some Front offices which receive customers' requests in paper form.
We have one Back Office which is receiving the customers' original paper requests from Front Office via courier mail.
To improve the efficency, I am trying to apply a solution which allow the Front Offices to scan the paper requests into PDF files.
Those scanned files will be accessed by Back Office to process.
Given the volume of the requests, it is impossible to open each file in the folder by clicking mouse.
I have completed the tool (using Excel and vba ) which displays all of the requests (PDF files) as hyperlinks in Excel list.
The requests are ranked with priority so that the Back Office people know which to process first.
That solution works well.
However, Back Office has just requested me to display certain fields in the PDF files as image in Excel's cells so that they can type the information to the system without having to open the PDF files. The way that the images are displayed on Excel cells is an extraction of part of PDF page.
I know that in Adobe Reader, I can use my mouse to select part of the area then copy to clipboard, so I hope that we can do the extraction programmatically.
Could anyone can help me figure out how to implement above extraction solution in Excel vba?
I am facing 2 concerns:
1. Acrobat SDK:
I don't know if my company purchased license of Acrobat SDK or not. But when I open Excel VB editor, I can see in "Reference" menu the below items:
   + Adobe Acrobat Browser Control Type Library 1.0
   + Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Type Library
   + Acrobat Access 3.0 Type Library
Are the above enough for my application?
2. VBA code for extraction of part of PDF files:
- What should be on the vba code for the extraction? Which functions I should use?
Thank you very much
Cheers

The functionality that you require is not available to VBA/COM - it is only exposed via C/C++.
However, you could retrieve the ENTIRE page image to the clipboard and then use whatever VB/VBA methods you choose to grab a section of the image.
Of course, this all assumes that Adobe Acrobat is installed on each person's computer that will be using the solution since Reader does not have the necessary APIs and Acrobat can't be installed on a server.

It takes three tries to successfully open a PDF file in iBooks.

     This is regarding ipad2.
     When I click on "open in iBooks," the bookshelf opens up and right upper circular icon spins as if it's about to open file, but the it stops and reverts back to edit button without anything else happening. So I try a second time on the "open in iBooks" from the PDF page, and this time, the icon of the PDF file appears on the bookshelf but then disappears a few seconds after that. If I happen to click on the icon before the icon disappears, the PDF will open but then will also disappear same few seconds later and then iPad goes back to home page or it opens up the "books" bookshelf. So third times a charm--clicking on "open in iBooks" the third time will finally open up PDF file in iBooks and incorporate it into the library.
     Not sure if this is due (1) to size of my library--some 600+ PDFs, (2) recently upgraded to iBooks 2.1--can't remember if this started before or after. I also just upgraded to iOS 5.1 yesterday hoping and thinking this would resolve the issue but it hasn't. Anyone with any suggestions?

Hi Alan,
Sorry for the late response. i was busy with other work.
Through InputStream i can get the Remote remote resource by establishing the HttpURLConnection with the cookie information(that's how it can get credentials). But i don't know how to view the file using PDF_Renderer.
when i use the below code, it is working fine(i used PdfReader to read the InputStream ) but Sample.pdf is creating on the desktop of the system beacause of FileOutputStream which used as a parameter of PdfStamper.
// create a stamper that will copy the document to a new file named Sample.pdf
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader,
     new FileOutputStream("Sample.pdf"));
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "+"Sample.pdf");
Please provide me some solution through PDF_Renderer. i checked the api, i didn't get any idea.
Thanks.

Open a PDF file embedded in my app ?

Hi,
In the resources of my application, I can easily embed a PDF file just like I would embed a large mp3 file , video or photo's
But.... can I somehow call some code in as3 which then opens that PDF file on the ipad ? So for example I have a book (in PDF) containing +- 20 pages and when I click on a button of my air app, I want to have the ipad open the pdf file and show it onscreen.
Possible ???
Kind regards,
Bart

Sir,
import flash.media.StageWebView;
    public class Main extends MovieClip
        private var swv:StageWebView = new StageWebView();
        public function Main()
            swv.stage = stage;
            swv.viewPort = new Rectangle(0, 0, 1024, 768);
            swv.loadURL('http://www.google.com');
This seems to load up and display google.com website fullscreen on my ipad (have to test tonight),
But you talk about getting the nativepath of my file. Since my file will be included as a resource inside my IPA, I cannot access it over HTTP://
If my file is called "mybook.pdf" and is included in the root folder of my IPA, just besides the Default.png file, then could you please tell me how I can get that nativepath ?
Kind regards,
Bart
PS And Do I have to create this using an external class or can I just as well include the lines below in a flash as3 on the timeline ?
import flash.media.StageWebView;
var swv:StageWebView = new StageWebView();
swv.stage = stage;
swv.viewPort = new Rectangle(0, 0, 1024, 768);
swv.loadURL('http://www.google.com');
