Opening PDF and Word links

Hello,
How can I tell Safari too always download PDF and Wordfiles instead of trying
too open them in a new tab ore window?
And I mean too set that as a default, the CTRL click I know of.
Kind regards.

My iPhone, iPad and G5 cant open PDF or Word attachments on emails generated from a specific PHP written system.

I use iPhone, iPad and G5 receiving emails generated from a PHP written system hosted on 1and1. I cant open PDF or Word attachments on any emails. The attachment's file names are displayed at the bottom of the email with no link. No problem on Windows Outlook. Is it me, 1and1 or the PHP system!? Does Apple OS handle email attachments differently to Windows? Help!?

Followed your instructions on my iPhone running 4.3.5 and my iPad which is running iOS 5 beta 4... IT WORKS!
Thanks a lot!

Linking to PDFs and Word Files

Hi,
I am using FM9 and working on a long document that comes with many external forms. The forms are in PDF and Word format. The FM files will be converted to pdf, and shipped to users in an interactive e-book format. My question is twofold:
1) How do I link to external Word and PDF froms so they open in a new window?
2) Is there a way to "package" the forms with the pdf deliverable so users cannot move them around and break the links?
Thanks for any insights and let me know if you need more information to answer.

To define a link to external files (non-PDFs), use the following hypertext marker:
message openfile form123.doc
Assuming that .doc is associated with Microsoft Word on the end-user system, Acrobat/Reader will launch Word with the target file, as a separate application (no need or possibility to specify a "new window" property for links to non-PDF files).
FrameMaker does not support the other features you asked about (new window property for cross-linked PDFs or embedded PDFs), so these will have to be handled in Acrobat as a a manual post-creation step.
If you need such functionality on a regular basis and wish to automate it so that the PDF has all features/settings needed without post-creation steps, it can be done through add-ons; for additional information and sample PDFs, see:

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail. Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?

Is there a way to do this?

Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

PDFs and Word Files open on iMac but not Macbook Pro

I own an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Recently, I've been having an issue with some PDFs and Word files that have been emailed to me from different contacts. All open—and can be seen using Quick Look—on the iMac. However, on the MacBook Pro it's a different story. When I try Quick Look all I see are the icons. When I try to open the PDFs in Preview (default app for me) I get an error message saying the file could not be opened and might be damaged. When I try to open the Word doc in Word, Pages or Bean I see all of the extraneous header information etc and the text is all mixed up in that formatting junk. I have repaired permissions, cleared out my user cache, restarted—pretty much everything I can think of. But no luck. Thought?

Brilliant suggestion! I checked all the display settings on my iMac 27" and confirmed they were the same settings as my MacBook -- until I checked the Window 7 screen resolution. Because of its size, I had expanded the screen across most of the monitor. When I changed the resolution to one suggested or configured by Windows, Approach worked fine. I've now tested it on quite a few of the settings, and as long as I let Windows determine the best resolution (on my iMac 27" it seems to be 2043 x 1276), Approach works like it should. Thank you!

When working to convert an open PDF to WORD I am getting a request to sign in and then get a message that I cannot sign in due to a "network problem"?

Can anyone help me with this issue? I try to convert an open PDF to WoRD. When I am asked to sign into my account I get an error message that says I cannot sign in due to a Network Problem.

Sara:
A little more cumbersome but going to the AdobeAcrobat.com works.
Thanks for the help.
Have a great day.

Viewing/Syncing PDF and Word Docs?

I read before I bought my iPhone that it would have support for PDF and Word Docs. How do I view and store these docs? Since I can sync music and movie files, can I sync documents too?

So I can store and view a 700MB movie, but not and 8kb text file? Are you kidding? I've tried emailing myself a PDF, but I can only view it in Mail's tiny vertical window. So far I have been unable to open ANY PDF on the Web. I get an error "Safari can not download this type of file."
There is no way to sync/view a PDF like I sync/view Photos? Why include PDF support then implement it in the narrowest way imaginable? This phone just became useless in any type of business environment. It is unbelievable that on an 8 gig Phone I can't even store a PDF, Word, or TXT file. Looks like this phone is a $600 toy, not a device for a serious user.

Can I search for pdf and word documents at the same time in finder?

I often want to search for more than one file type at a time - for instance pdfs and word docs in a directory, or Jpgs, GIFs, PNGs etc.
Can I do this in the finder in one go (so I can save it as a folder I can then select when I want to)?
I tried typing OR between the 'tokens' it creates, but then it just searches for OR - so not as intelligent as one would think?!
Surely there must be a way to do something as simple as this?
regards
Rob

Forget the whole "tokens" business (I think that is a pretty useless "improvement" to constructing Spotlight searches). Hit command-F to bring up the search window, and set your first criteria, in the example I changed it from the default Kind to Created Date, to keep the number of results manageable. Now hold down the Option key and click on the "+" at the end of the criteria line, it will change to "..." and you get a new criteria line. From the dropdown menu choose "Any" if necessary (this will give you the Boolean OR), then enter what you want in the first sub-head. To get a second sub-head OR criteria click the "+" at the end of the Any line.
I don't generate many MS Word docs, so I just stopped in the example above after typing Microsoft, since that brought up all the MS anything I have from this year (a couple of Power Point thingies sent to me by friends).

Not able to open pdf and adobe reader on windows xp sp3.

Hello,
I am not able to open pdf and adobe reader on my windows xp sp3 computer. I have reinstalled adobe reader 11.0.3 twice, but, no luck. I would appreciate if you could help me in resolving this issue. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Venkata

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Storing PDF and Word document in oracle database

any idea, how to store PDF and word document using oracle database.
thanks

The common approach is store as BLOB in database, use DBMS_LOB package to handle the loading and reading, sample script source asktom
Also check this thread in Asktom
SQL> create table demo
2 ( id        INT PRIMARY KEY,
3    theBlob   blob,
4    dummy_col VARCHAR2(1)
5 )
6 /
Table created.
SQL> -- --------------------------------------------------------------
SQL> -- Load a PDF file into a BLOB field and compress the BLOB.

PDF and FLV links not working

I have a course that’s made up of a series of hyperlinked swfs and html files. There are also some flvs and pdfs in this. We had to design it in this format (vs. pdf or exe) because of our customer’s special requirements. To try to make a long story short, our company now wants to put this course on a CD-ROM to show customers, however, they do not want to have to make the customer do that extra little step of setting the Flash security settings to accept the external site. Anyway, that is the background, and here is my problem.
I have created two new “marketing” versions that contain a snippet of the course – a PDF version and an EXE version. Here are the problems with each:
1. The exe format works great, except there is a button that links to a PDF, and that link, even though the PDF is present in the same directory, does not launch the pdf.
2. The PDF version has two problems. I have a FLV that does not play (despite it being in the directory), and I also have a button (same one as mentioned above) that launches another PDF, and that PDF does not launch.
Any suggestions?

Hi Kristi
I have something that may help here. Please send an E-Mail message to rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com and list the exact file names of the files you are linking to.
Once I have the actual file names, I can send you back some files that you can try to use for accomplishing the linking. Additionally, I'll want to know the exact relationship the files have. For example, will they simply be in the same folder as your project? Or will they perhaps be in a subfolder. And if a subfolder, the exact name of the subfolder.
Cheers... Rick

Pages can export to PDF and .doc formats and send those via email, but it has no "upload" function. That is something you normally do with a browser or an ftp app.

Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

I'm not sure I understand the connection between iCloud and this problem. Is it simply a problem of coincidental timing (ie, the problem happened after you set up iCloud)? If so, there's almost certainly no connection between these two events.
Where are you getting the files you're trying to open, and what specifically happens when you try to open them?
