Opening pdfs with ibooks ipad: problem

Hi,
I found that many people have this problem: opening a pdf (that's attached to an email) with ibooks, used to work perfectly.
And now it doens't anymore.
Sometimes (1 on 20 tries) it does work. Often the pdf lights up for a second in ibooks, and then disappears again.
I tried doing a reinstall as advised on many fora, but this doesn't help.
Any other ideas why this happens, and a solution?
It's a shame, cos it was such a fast way of working.
Thank you in advance.
Jan.

I have been experiencing this problem for over a month now. Seems a bug in iBooks. However, if I close the iBooks and then from email try to open the attachment from Email, it works. Having iBooks open gives this problem.

  • XDP - open PDF with #toolbar=0 problem in IE

    Hi
    When opening PDF's using a correctly constructed XDP I specify at the end:
    <pdf href="some.pdf" xmlns=http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/ />
    Everything works correctly in all browsers.
    I would like to hide the toolbars so when I change the href to:
    <pdf href="some.pdf#toolbar=0" xmlns=http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/ />
    the PDF opens but in IE the XDP data doesn't merge however, it works as expected in other browsers (data merge and toolbar hidden)
    Has anyone else come accross this or know of a fix or workaround?
    Thanks for looking.
    Andy

    Since your posting the XDP data to a PDF, you can merge the XDP + LC PDF using 3rd party tools, send the merged PDF to buffer (data is presented), and then pass the querystring parameter to the merged PDF.
    Example URL:
    http://www.url.com/mergeXDP.aspx#toolbars=0
    If you are using ASP.net web servers:
    Check out www.fdftoolkit.net
    Web Examples:
    www.nk-inc.com/software/fdftoolkit.net/examples/
    If you are using Java enabled non-MS servers, check out iText.
    iText can merge XML/XDP with LC forms.
    For more information Google "iText merge XDP XFA", or buy the book or e-book "iText in Action Second Edition".

  • Firefox not opening PDF with Adobe Reader for Mac

    I can't open PDF in Firefox with Adobe Reader for Mac, what should i do?

    I have come across this problem, but i have solved my problem. The default PDF viewer with Firefox browser on Mac is Preview, so you can't use adobe reader to open PDF files, if you want to use Adobe Reader to open pdf with Firefox on mac, you need set adobe reader as your mac's default pdf viewer. Do as follows:
    1. Select any PDF file and choose File > Get Info.
    2. Choose Adobe Reader as your default PDF files viewer from the Browser in Download Action window.
    3. Click OK to set Adobe Reader as your default PDF files viewer.

    However, the issue is very likley something in the file itself or the manner in which it is linked that causes the issue. Other thsn this file, I never have any issues opening a PDF in Safari or other applicable apps. Chances are slim to none you will get any troubleshooting.

  • Can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X

    I can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X. I get this message:
      Warning: Distiller will not process .Log, .PDF or .JDF file extensions
    What do I need to do to be able to open .pdf files? I could open them previously.

    What are you getting the message in response to? Was this a creation of a PDF that resulted in the message? What are you using Distiller for? Distiller can only open PS and EPS files for processing to create a PDF.
    PDF files are opened in Acrobat. For opening PDFs, Distiller has nothing to do with the opening. So I really have no idea. It sounds like you may just be having a creation error since you mentioned a log file. If you were creating a PDF, have you checked the LOG file for the errors? The log file is usually located where you were going to create the PDF, but is created as Distiller processes the file (part of the general Acrobat creation process) and is deleted if successful.
    If you were trying to create, go back to the original application and print to file with the Adobe PDF printer. Then open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. Any errors will be shown in the window and an indication if the PDF was created or not.

  • How to use Adobe Reader, open pdfs with OS X 10.6.7?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro. When I try to download Adobe Reacer or open PDFs, I get messages that say this type of Mac doesn't support Adobe Reader. I use PDFs all the time.  How do I get around this?

    I am not being allowed to downoad/install Adobe Reader or open PDFs.  When I try to do either one, I get a message that this type of Mac doesn't support Adobe Reader.  I just talked to Apple Care. They told me how to open PDFs with another application andd referred me to Adobe for installation questions.  Thanks.

  • Can't open PDFs with "open in iBooks".

    When I click on "open in iBooks" the PDF file appears for a second in the library and then disappears. I have to completely shutdown my iPad and then restart. Sometimes even this doesn't help. I noticed this problem started after the most recent iBooks upgrade.

    I have been having the same problem. The default app that came up when I would do "open in" was GoodNotes. I deleted that app and could then open the pdf in iBooks with iBooks as the default. Put GoodNotes back on and iBooks is still the default. So maybe there is something conflicting in that app. I also see a gazillion more apps that will read pdf files now when I do the "open in" through Mail.

  • The PDFs from email I need to open then with iBook thebeginning was Ok now the Ebola programs no more show in the open with list

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • Windows 8.1 - problem opening pdf with reader

  • 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!
