Opening an FDF on a shared drive

It seems that after a recent update Adobe Reader XI can't open an FDF from a shared drive.  How can I get around this? 

It looks as though the enhanced protected mode is blocking the file on open.  "There was an error opening this document.  Access denied." is displayed.  After turning off the enhanced protected problem was solved.

  • When I open a PDF file and I try to Save As to my shared drive I can't select it from the dropdown

    When I open a PDF file and I try to Save As to my shared drive I can’t select it from the dropdown menu. (See screenshot).
    When I select on the left side “Computer”, then my shared drive is available. (See screenshot).

    Hi staceye,
    Where are you creating the PDF file, and what is the error that you're receiving? Is it a file that is saved in your Acrobat.com online account?

  • URL action to open PDF on a shared drive with credentials

    I am using "Go to URL" feature of SSRS 2008 to open a PDF file saved on a shared drive. It works fine for me as I have access to the drive.
    I don't want to give access to this drive to all the business users who will be using the report. There are several reports on the drive which they should not access. Is there a way to pass generic credentials with URL to allow opening the relevant document
    without giving permissions to every single user.
    Thanks

    Hi  AY,
    As far as I know, we cannot pass generic credentials with URL. In your case, we can set permissions for Shared Drive to work around the issue. It is assign permission to specific user on the network.
    These articles are about Give Permissions to a Shared Drive, Set Permissions for Shared Folders, you can refer to it.

  • Illustrator files won't open on shared drive.

    Just upgraded to Mac OS to Yosemite (10.10) and can no longer open files on a shared drive within Illustrator or other Creative Cloud apps.  However, if those files are transferred to desktop I can open them.  These exact same files were opening before going to Yosemite.  I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the apps.

    OSURecSports,
    Actually, it is always recommended here to open/save from/to own harddisk and copy files/folder between own harddisk and wherever else.
    Working from/to a shared drive is rsike and may go wrong, with possible corruption/loss of files.

  • ITunes Library on shared drive, option-open itunes

    Just ordered my AX. Have Airport Express for AirTunes now.
    I have an MBP intel 2.3 17" and a PB G4 12" 1gig. I'll put my iTunes library on a drive shared via AX. I've been reading iTunes sharing threads, but I haven't come across anything about simply option-opening iTunes. Doing so brings up "choose library..." of course.
    Can I just share the library by option-opening iTunes each time, from either laptop, with all modifications made via one machine (playlists, purchases, etc.) showing up on the other? I'll never need to run iTunes on both at once.
    ...If I do try to use iTunes on both machines at the same time, would the second give me some kind of 'library in use' error message?
    Thanks.
    Cheers,
    Otto

    It's actually even easier than you describe. In a real way your iTunes "Library" is an index file in your Music folder. If you have 2 computers with iTunes then they each have their own indices in the Music folder of each users account on those computers. You can store the actual audio/video files that make up the music/audiobooks/videos really anywhere. Give the USB drive you attach to the Airport Extreme a name, mount that drive on each of your two computers. Copy the actual audio/video files from wherever you have them to that shared drive (I use a subdirectory called "library" to put them all in. Then go into the iTunes preferences on both computers. In the "Advanced" section change the directory that the library is stored at to the path of the mounted drive and whatever subdirectory you make it. In my house it's /public/library. "public" is the name of the shared USB drive, library is a directory I created on it and all the artists directories and such are under the "library" folder. That's all there is to it. Any other computer you want to use those files just update the preferences. The only other caveat is that since the "library" is really the index file on each computer you will need to authorize each computer separately to play any purchased files. That's about it.

  • How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation?

    How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation? We're waiting for our server to arrive and in the interum we're using a Pegasus 2 R6 attached to an iMac running Mavericks as our fileserver. It's been sketchy, the connection to the server being dropped once in a while or the inability to mount the drive after a week of success. The Pegasus we're using now will be attached to a server once it arrives. For now I need to figure what's coausing trouble before I commit to this being our main storage as planned. The data is backed up every night so I'm not worried, its the usability issues. 5-7 people are mounting this drive and opening/saving at the same time. Is there a limit to Maverick's fileserving ability that may be causing this? Understandable if so.

    The file server in the client version of OS X has a default limit of 10 simultaneous connections. That limit can be raised by installing OS X Server, or lowered by setting a hidden preference. Assuming you've done neither, you may be able to solve the problem temporarily by stopping and restarting file sharing in the Sharing preference pane, or permanently by setting another hidden preference on the server to break idle connections quickly.
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool YES
    Stop and restart file sharing. To reverse the change, run this command in the same way:
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool NO
    Credit for this solution to ASC member suter:
    this file server will not allow any additional users to log on

  • Macbook Pro can open files from Touro ext. hard drive but can't save to it. Solutions without data loss?

    Hello,
    I've looked around for a solution to my problem but I haven't found any specific solutions and I'm not comfortable in trying general ones for fear of loosing my data. Before moving I backed up all my document and music files from my PC to my Touro external hard drive. My main goal for buying this hard drive was to use it to store my itunes music library to save space on my computer and transfer my music from said PC tp my new MacBook Pro after the move. Today I set about doing so and was able to set my itunes up to pulll from the hard drive as well as load all the music I had saved on the hard drive into my MacBook itunes. The trouble came when I tried to download new purchases. It turned out I couldn't because itunes was unable to save them in the new file location on the Touro. I checked into it and I have the same problem with the documents as well; I can open anything already saved on the drive but I can't save any new files. It keeps on telling me I don't have permission to make edits. I'm afraid this mean I have to reformat the Touro for Mac but doesn't that mean I'll lose all that data? Does anyone know of any somlutions that would give me access to the drive without compromising what's already on it? I would just plug it back into the PC and see if I could adjust sharing settings, but it's all the way across the country now. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!
                                                                Thanks,

    It sounds like your HDD was formatted under windows NTFS, which although your mac can read, it cannot write to that file format.
    You will either need to transfer the data to another location while you reformat it as FAT on your mac using Disk Utility. Or you could purchase something like iPartition and change the file format to FAT which might take up to 24hours or so depending on the size of the drive. I have never had a problem doing this before but it's not guaranteed that your data will not be lost doing this.

  • How can I access a shared drive in window?

  • Link to fold on shared drive from PDF

    Hi all,
    I have a PDF document that I would like a text box to link (open a shared drive)to a shard folder drive. I have tried the file:/// (path) but it does not work.
    I basically want a visual box a user clicks to go to the specific folder on the drive as the address name is very long.
    Anyone have ideas?
    Thanks,

    The PDF language allows for any type of URI that you wish to supply, which may point to a file, folder or any other object.
    However, do to security concerns, a conforming PDF viewer (such as Adobe Acrobat or Reader) may choose not to implement all possible URI schemes. in this particular case, Acrobat/Reader do not support a "folder" scheme.

  • Excel not letting user save to shared drive, only user using the files, yet it says someone else is using the file.

    I have seen this problem discussed before, but have never seen a clear cut solution.
    I have a user using Excel 2013. She can create and open files locally, but when she tries to move or save to a shared network drive, she gets the error "Someone else is working in (shared drive/filename) please try again later. She's the only one using
    the file most of the time.
    I have done a repair on the Office installation, but the user is still having the issue, and I need to remedy this. She has appropriate file/folder permissions on the network. Really stuck on this one.

    Hi,
    As we know, Office creates TMP files like "$.tmp file" when you open a document. Saving does not delete the files if we still have them open. And this issue occur with network drive not local disk, so
    it might be caused with the account permission of the network drive. If your user has no delete permission, the temp file might be not delete after closed the file. Please try to check the permission first.
    Then, if there are some mistaken operations when using the files in network drive, we could delete the temp file manually, and then the error would disappear. Please see the similar thread:

  • Problem creating pfile on a shared drive directory.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Yet again an example of how easy it is to become 'guru': simply read the documentation and you will be one, because almost all people asking questions here are asking doc questions.
    To make this work you need to make sure the OracleService<SID> is running as a domain administrator account.
    By default Oracle runs using the local administrator, which doesn't have access to remote drives.

  • Can't access iTunes Library on a shared drive

    Here is my problem: I want to access my iTunes library from a shared drive.
    Here is my equipment:
    1. Imac running iTunes 10.6
    2. 1 week old Macbook Air running iTunes 10.6
    3. 1 Timecapsule that is 1 day old, bought with the express purpose of putting my extensive iTunes library on it, and was assure I would be able to stream it.
    4. An Airport express hooked to my stereo.
    The concept was that the Air doesn't really have the capability to hold all my music, but I want to use it as a "remote" to select songs through iTunes and play them on my stereo.
    I did NOT want to leave my iMac on at all times and do homes haring that way.
    Therefore, I followed intructions fonund else where and moved my iTunes library from my iMac to the newly installed shared drive on the Time Capsule.
    I went into iTunes on the Air selected preferences, advanced, and changed the location of the Air's iTunes library to that of the one on the Time Capsule. It sees all the music. I close preferences.
    What happens? Nothing. None of the music is listed on the Air
    I've gone over this again and again, and this SHOULD work. What am I missing here? Should I take the Air and the Timecapsule back to the store?

    Uh, I fear you followed some wrong directions. This is what you should have done:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    It sounds as if in part at least this is what you did, at least when you say you are going to preferences and changing things.
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.  Do this with both computers if the shared library file is on the external drive.
    Note, the file can only be in use by one computer at a time.  You will have to quit iTunes on one computer before opening it on another.

  • Network shared drive hang

    My office use a file server that host network shared drive (mapped on all workstation). The server OS is Windows Server 2008 SP 2, and all clients on Windows 7.
    For the past 6 months the network shared drive sometimes hang, but lately becoming more and more frequent.
    I cant really put my finger on it, as I checked on the server Event viewer, I can't really find anything related (or it could be I missed it).
    I notice many users work online with their office documents (excel, words), they open and save directly to the shared drive, is this also contribute to the shared drive hang?
    Help! thanks

    Hi,
    you should check using resourece monitor and perfmon whether you are running into resource depletion issues.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.08.pulse.aspx
    Office documents surely use resources, but a far more common culprit is storing outlook .pst and . ost files on a networkdrive. Aside for being not supported, it is a real fileserver killer. You will have events in system event log indicating issues in such
    case.
    Especially look for events regarding Srv, SMB, MrxSMB or the server service as all are closely related to fileshares.
    Also pretty common, is antivirus doing realtime scan both server as client side, possibly combined with some other filter drivers. (like described in:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822219
    there is a nice guide 'performance tuning for fileservers'  on Microsoft download.i recommend you take a look.
    MCP/MCSA/MCTS/MCITP
    ok, I will try to monitor those points you recommended. Thank you.
