Opening a pdf with ai then having text problems.

Hello people
When i open a PDF document in ai i get a problem with the text. All paragraphs of text are no longer grouped, it is if i have used a type box for every single letter. The spacing is different also. is there a way to ensure that all text is grouped as it is in the PDF document when i open it in ai or is there a setting i am missing.
Thanks i advance
Phil
PS
Thanks to the 2 guys who helped me out before xmas with a gradient problem. you information was ace

The "equality" between AI and PDF formats is a myth. What you are seeing is normal for PDF content.
Generally speaking, you can think of a PDF file as your Illustrator (or whatever) file dumbed-down to simpler objects and "captured" midstream on its way to the printer.
> is there a way to ensure that all text is grouped as it is in the PDF document when i open it in ai
Yes. By turning on the Maintain Illustrator Editibility option when saving/exporting the PDF. What that really does is embed a full copy of the native Illustrator file inside the PDF. So the PDF file actually contains two complete versions of the content (and is therefore larger).
If you use AI to open a PDF that does not contain that AI-native version (one saved from AI without that option turned on, or one saved by some other program), then it's normal to get the results you are experiencing.
Adobe has done a masterful job of confusing its user base with its smoke-and-mirrors marketing of all this.

Having trouble opening a pdf with Adobe...keep seeing an error sign "acroExch" does anyone have a way to fix this?

Having trouble opening a pdf with Adobe...keep seeing an error sign "acroExch" does anyone have a way to fix this?

Hmm, "Use Adobe Reader" should launch the PDF outside of Firefox in the stand-alone Adobe Reader application, so seeing it in a tab is something of a puzzle.
Could you check your version of Adobe Reader? For Windows 7, you normally would have the Reader XI series (Reader 11), which has had several updates. From inside Adobe Reader, you can use Help > Check for Updates to make sure it's current.
In Firefox, could you check your Adobe Acrobat plugin version or possibly versions? You can view that on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. If you find multiple versions, this can cause problems and may need to be cleaned up manually (post back on that for suggestions).
Sometimes, the settings file which stores those download handler preferences becomes corrupted and there's not much else to do than to rename or remove that file and let Firefox rebuild it.
To do that, open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a new window (Windows Explorer window) listing various settings files.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Start Firefox back up again and "PDF Files" should be back to their default setting of "Preview in Firefox". Try changing that to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" and test to see whether there's any improvement.

How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images

I am new to Indesign Server.
I'm currently working on a pdf.
I have a white blank pdf template.
that I want to attach/glue it with images.
How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images.
Please, help me.
Thanks.

First step would be to make yourself familiar with InDesign desktop version.
Whatever you intend to achieve, do it there manually. (see regular app docs or forums)
Then try to automate your steps with scripting (see scripting docs or forum)
If you can do it with a script in the desktop version, that script will likely also run in ID Server. (see server forum).
If you can specify missing features not achievable thru scripting or manual use, reconsider to write a plugin (this forum).
A seasoned C++ programmer will need a few months to learn the basics, wade thru tons of documentation etc. Alternatively consider to hire a consultant to do the development work for you.

Error when opening =any= PDF with Reader

Hi! Since installing the new Reader software, I keep getting the same error message whenever I try to open =any= PDF, from those on my system for some time to those just downloaded.
The error message says:
Attempt to access invalid address
I can open any PDF with Sumatra or Foxit, so it's not in the file...

Hi Bruce,
Are you using EMET Antivirus? I have seen the issue caused due to this. Try disabling it and check.
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
Regards,
Rave

Open a pdf with a model.

Hi.
I've a portal application. In a class, I call to one Bapi, and this Bapi return a table and I keep the table into a model. I want open a pdf with my model.
How can I do it? What are the java import?

Hi Jens,
I'm developing a portar archive (.par).
This is the code by which I call the BAPI and it gives back to me the model:
              if(miCliente == null) throw new Exception("CONEXION NO DISPONIBLE");
                    if (!this.getbegda().equals(""))
                   {funcion.getImportParameterList().setValue(this.getbegda(),"JBEGDA");}
                    if (!this.getendda().equals(""))
                    {funcion.getImportParameterList().setValue(this.getendda(),"JENDDA");}
                    miCliente.execute(funcion);
                com.sap.mw.jco.JCO.Table out = funcion.getTableParameterList().getTable("OUT");
                    com.sap.mw.jco.JCO.Field retorno = funcion.getExportParameterList().getField("RETURN_CODE");
                for(int i = 0; i < out.getNumRows(); i++)
                    { out.setRow(i);
                      fila.addElement(out.getString("CODIGO"));
                      fila.addElement(out.getString("NOMBRE"));
                      tabla.addElement(fila);
                  fila = new Vector();
                     Vector nombreColumnas = new Vector();
                      nombreColumnas.addElement("Código Empresa");
                  nombreColumnas.addElement("Nombre o razón social");
                   modelo = new DefaultTableViewModel(tabla, nombreColumnas);

The way to open 3D pdf with specific model selection from url link

I guess this feature is not supported, but let me ask one thing.
I am looking for the way to open 3D pdf with specific model selection from url link.
For example, if the following link is opened, is it possoble to open 3d.pdf with automatic selection of "abc" model in the model tree?
http://example.org/3d.pdf#model=abc
If it can be done by javascript, it's really helpful.

Impossible. There are only very limited command-line options for the Acrobat Family and you cannot change them.

iPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

I Have followed these steps, and tried others, such as resetting all my network settings. At best these only temporarily fix the problem - wifi still becomes slow or stops. I have other Apple devices connecting fine to my airport express. why is my iPad mini not working? Is it related to the fact it is 3G and I don't have a sim card installed? It is the current top of the range model with iOS 8.0.2. I paid over the odds for the best, and it is almost completely redundant. Apple - I'm losing faith. You need to keep the public better informed and fix this problem fast, otherwise I will leave you for good.

I am having trouble with pdf files continuously get damaged file message when try to open downloaded pdf with adobe reader

Cannot open downloaded pdf's with adobe reader. Have latest version of adobe program continuously get damaged file message. Anybody else having this problem? Using imac with osx10.7.1 (latest lion)

I am having the exact same problem. This is very disturbing.
Lately I have been deluged with adobe update dialogues. I don't know whether this is real or some kind of bugus malware phenomenon.
Imagine my surprise when I looked here in the forum and I am not alone.
Kaufmann's remark that we shouldn't be using adobe reader doesn't explain why it is malfunctioning like this. I have been using the reader on Mac OS for years, and I don't get what's happening now.
Does anyone realy know what is going on?

Making a PDF with LiveCycle then being able to edit pages, insert pages, delete pages, attach files to document, be readable in Adobe Reader etc.

We have been working for some time with LiveCycle to creat a documents and have experienced a host of problems with the end product.
1. Images inserted into the LiveCycle PDF document often come up as "broken links" after editing the document and resaving it.
2. Documents will not display in Acrobat reader unless a digital signature is applied to them and the document is re-saved.
3. After making the document, we are unable to use Adobe Pro to insert pages, delete pages, or insert files into the document as attachments.
The end state was to use the simplicity of LiveCycle to create a document and do most of the hard work, and then save it as a PDF document that could be easily edited with Adobe Pro. It has proven difficult, to say the least, to figure out how to make this work.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

1- Thank you
2- It only seems rational that if I make a form with LiveCycle that I should be able to view it with Adobe Reader or Adobe Pro.
Making a form with LiveCycle to be distrubuted to personnel internally that have Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro and cannot open it without it having a digital signature field in it that has just recently been signed just doesn't make sense. Nor does it seem to make sense to have to purchase 200 additional licenses just for LiveCycle so that people can open a PDF that was made with LiveCycle. If I make it in LiveCycle and only people with LiveCycle can open it, what is the purpose of making it to begin with?
3- This also totally sucks. In a standard Adobe Doc I can at least attach documents to it?
So, what, exactly then, is the purpose of LiveCycle if the only benefit it seems to provide is ease of creation, but the end product has way less functionality?
And how do I go about contacting an Adobe rep on the phone in regards to this without getting "there is no support for this product, go to Adobe.com"
We have millions of dollars of Adobe software and can't get support other than hunting and pecking in these forums? Really?

PDF Initial Browser doesn't open PDF with Bookmarks as initial view - Problem (Help)

I've saved a PDF with Initial view of Bookmarks panel and
page opn my client and it opens with the bookmarks. I publish the
file from my PC via Contribute and open it with my browser and it
opens in the pages view. NOTE: when i open the PDF in Contribute,
it opens with no special view.....

Hey Jacksoup --
I don't believe this is a "Contribute" issue at all. I'm having the same problem with a .PDF of my own that I've published to the Web and I'm not using that software.
I had one original .pdf file that had no bookmarks. Bookmarks were then added to the doc and resaved. On the new version I have the document's file properties set to open bookmarks on initial view. The document opens fine locally on my computer, but when I publish to the web (not using contribute), and then try to open the .pdf via hyperlink it opens in MSIE and the bookmarks do not appear on initial view. It's driving me crazy.
I'm wondering if this is some sort of adobe cache issue? Where it's opening the document like the original? Or if it's something to do with MSIE? I have already cleared my browser cache and I also updated my adobe acrobat preferences to NOT restore last view settings when opening documents.
I have tried adding #pagemode=Bookmarks to the end of the URL to the doc...
Everything I've read and researched on line tells me I have done all I can do. Are we just $#!+ out of luck here or what's the deal Adobe?
Thank you for your time!

How to open a PDF with Acrobat 5?

I'm trying to open a pdf. I get an error message saying file is damaged and can't be opened but I have no problem opening it with Adobe ReaderX. What is wrong?
Thanks!

There's something in it that isn't comaptible with Acrobat 5 or it would open it. I know Acrobat 5 is what you have, but frankly, it's obsolete. You can download a 30 day trial of Acrobat XI and open it, then save it as Optimized for 4 and up, but if you plan to continue using Acrobat... you're going to need a version that's newer than 2003.
That shows the Reader versions that went along with Acrobat (because the Acrobat downloads themselves aren't available anymore).
5.0 and 5.05 were designed for oprating systems that haven't even been supported by Microsoft since 2006.

Attempt to open a PDF with Adobe Reader fails

I am using Adobe Reader X and have been having problems where double clicking on the PDF file does not automatically open the PDF file. Sometimes it will open it and on those days I will have no problem. Other days it just seems to refuse to open the PDF and I see several instances of AcroRd32.exe showing in Task Manager taking up varying degrees of memory. I tried to fix the problem by running the "repair my install", but that ended up breaking my only workaround which was to launch the Adobe Reader and then select the PDF file I wanted to open.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I had the same problem just now and what worked for me was i archived a email in MS outlook using the Adopbe PDF dropdown menu and then I had full access to X Pro again.
Hope that this helps

Open protected pdf with javascript

Hi
I created a program that opens a local pdf file and shows it with Adobe Reader. I want people to open the pdf file only when using my program.
It's an Adobe Air program so I am able to pass javascript commands to the pdf. Lets say I pass a string (the password) from my Adobe Air applikation
to some javascript function inside the pdf file, at the time my application opens the pdf file, when i it opens. Then the javascript function inside the pdf file should be able to pass the password to some security handler and open the pdf file, without prompting the user for a password.
How do I do this in Adobe Acrobat Javascript ?

Just search for password in the to files i mentioned. I'd already said that I didn't understand the documentation very well, but here's a copy paste:
