Pdf caching works different for browser vs reader downloads

We have several very large pdf which are served by our web server (iis). In analyzing the detail performance metrics we have identified an interesting behavior. When viewing the pdf from the web link in a browser the web server quickly displays the first page then chunks the remaining parts of the document in roughly 5 kb chunks. However, even though we have configured these to be cached they don't get cached. But when we uncheck the Open in Browser setting in reader and allow the document to download and open with the reader it gets cached. Oddly enough, when we the check the box in Reader to open in the browser again the cached file is honored.
Server: Windows 2008, IIS
Client: Vista, Adobe 9.3.2, IE 7.0.6.x
I appreciate any help

This is not a Reader question. It is a question about how you have your server configured. Perhaps, a Microsoft forum would be appropriate. Generally, when pdfs are created for web viewing you want them to be optimized (which optimizes them for web downloading) and you need the server to byte serve. That is the sum total of my knowledge on the subject.

When will the ACROBAT PDF function work again for Office 2011 for MAC and PC?

HELP!!!!
Adobe Tech support suggested I submit my comment to this post in hopes that this will help resolve the issues. I feel for them having to field these calls.
I can no longer convert Excel, Word and Powerpoints to PDF. If our company converts one Office doc to PDF a day, we do at least 50 conversions to PDF. Since the 9.4.2 update, the PDF feature does not work on MAC...and since the 9.4.4 update it no longer works on a WIN system.
We have Acrobat 9 on all the MACs and PCs in the office. We downloaded Acrobat X to test it out when it first launched. Other than some nice bells and whistles with the convenient interface and new enhancements to the Portfolio feature, Acrobat X still does not do the basic function Acrobat was designed to do....convert to a PDF.
We began converting PDF's on the WIN systems because the file size and object data handling on MAC had become difficulty over the past year (lost fonts, file size bloated, etc). Now, nothing works on either system.
Last year Adobe and Microsoft Office suggested we upgrade to CS5 and the new OFFICE to fix the problems. MAC remains closed box which is why the system is so clean, but poses a real challenge when running non MAC software. Now Adobe advises that Acrobat only works on the previous version of Office (?), but not 2007 and that they are not compatible with the new office even thought it worked just a few weeks or so ago. Unfortunately, we have used some of the new features in the new Office and now are being asked to go back a step.
OFFICE automatically turns on your 90 day free tech support now when you call in to tell them PDF doesn't work. They feel they are giving YOU tech support. Last year, the Microsoft Office group advised that once they hand off to the PDF processor, that function is all Adobe. And it seems that Apple has their own Quark processor running scripts in between the two functions which is why the PDF file sizes are bloating on MACs.
The Adobe Acrobat engineers at AdobeMAX suggested to run Paralells or VMware on MAC in order to convert files to PDF properly/small size (which is what they say they do to get around the object data and bloating issues internally on their own MACs).
I know so many colleagues now who just run dual systems (WIN/MAC) so they can realize the full function of the Adobe software. It is not convenient when traveling or cost efficient for small businesses, but that is what we had to do to get our jobs done. I "HAD" a couple of the most incredible PDFing maching in my office until about a week ago...a $4k mega WIN System raided, 2 SDDs, 2 1TB HDDs, major video card, etc....and they are sitting lonely because PDF doesn't work anymore. But goodness, how fast it converted things to PDF.
Is there another patch coming imminenty to fix this issue?
I don't really care if there is a 32 bit or 64 bit issue. Customers pay premium price for the software which boasted 64 bit, etc and it should work as advertised. I ponder, are all my macs 64bit now??? They still don't work either. Customers depend on the software to do even the most basic functions in daily business and should not have to spend hours on the phone trying to figure out a problem that has nothing to do with them or a workaround because their investment did not work as advertised (and has genereally worked for years)....
One click of the button should be all that is necessary to make a PDF and make people everywhere happy when they need to send a secure output of their huge powerpoint to a customer to get business or their child's project for school that morning.
Is there a software war going on between the companies?
Are they rushing to market too quickly?
Do the companies thoroughly test the patches before running the updates?
Are there not enough API's or "hooks" allowing companies to make their products work with the different hardware, firmware, etc?
I don't really care what the internal issues are. Just fix it! The software should work as it is marketed (including the platform) and these companies need to get together and make it work (if that is the case) so their loyal customers can get their jobs done enabling them to purchase the next version of software that is suppose to be better than the last for their work.
Posted Respectfully and with hope this issue will be resolved promptly!

Mr. Jones,
You are a real lifesaver!!!
It worked on the Mac. Will have to do some searches to find the same on the PC since the same is happening.
Do you happen to know why Adobe is saying they are not compatible with Office 2011 now? I found a link on the Adobe webite along those lines yesterday, but was not able to find it this morning to insert into this post.
Our CEO had a real meltdown at about 2am the other morning when trying to pdf something for a meeting the next day. Was not very pretty.
THANK YOU!!!

Media Foundation MFGetAttributeRatio works differently for Win 7 than WIn8 - how to set format?

I am Using Media foundation ISourceReader, ISourceMedia etc.
My camera supports several Resolutions with 60 FPS and 30 FPS. running the code in win 8 I get a different profile with MAX 60 for the 60 and a different profile with max 30 for the 30 FPS. however running same code in WIN7 gives me that for all FPS I get
the
Code:
Enumerating profiles, and stop at the profile that the desired FPS is the max FPS (as different profiles are returned for each FPS,and the max equals to the MAX_FPS).
for WIN8 following code works:
bool found=false;while(!found){HRESULT hr = m_reader->GetNativeMediaType(id,i,&pMediaType);
if (hr!=S_OK || pMediaType==NULL)
if(pMediaType)
pMediaType->Release();
break;
GUID subtype;
hr=pMediaType->GetGUID(MF_MT_SUBTYPE,&subtype);
frameRate frameRateMin;
frameRate frameRateMax;
MFGetAttributeSize(pMediaType, MF_MT_FRAME_SIZE, &currRes.width, &currRes.height);
MFGetAttributeRatio(pMediaType,MF_MT_FRAME_RATE_RANGE_MIN,&frameRateMin.numerator ,&frameRateMin.denominator);
MFGetAttributeRatio(pMediaType,MF_MT_FRAME_RATE_RANGE_MAX,&frameRateMax.numerator ,&frameRateMax.denominator);if(frameRateMax==desiredFPS)found =true;}HRESULT hr= m_reader->SetCurrentMediaType(0,0,pMediaType);
What I do see is that in WIn7 each profile is returned twice once with MF_MT_VIDEO_LIGHTING equals 0 and one with 3. but both profiles are with 60 FPS while no profile with 30 as I would expect.

Hello and welcome,
Rescue and Recovery should present an option for using a USB flash drive for recovery media. You only get one shot at this so it's important to make sure the flash drive is prepared correctly - and is large enough. Unfortunately I can't tell you the size drive you need. 32GB is plenty, 16GB is probably enough. Hopefully someone who has done this on a T433s will chime in.
Drive prep: New or used USB memory keys or USB flash drives require an active partition created from within Wind...
You can use your one-time shot at making a recovery drive any time. It will contain recovery tools and a from-factory recovery image, not a snapshot of your as-currently-configured machine. For an as-running image use the backup feature of R&R.
IIRC you can launch the recovery media creator as a right-click option on the Q: partition - or double click it maybe. That will also offer to delete Q: and add the space to C: - also IIRC.

MB51, download to excel works different for online and background.

Hi,
Have a question regarding excel download of MB51 in online mode against background.
If I run MB51 online, I can download it to an excel sheet that is easy to read and work with. Each column in the report in seperate column in excel.
If I run it in the background, try to download the spool to excel, I don't get the columns the same way as online report.
Ive tried changing the layout, downloading to excel, downloading to text and then dropping to excel, etc.
Why wont the download from a batch job work the same as online?
Any ideas or anyway to fix?

Hi All,
I am also facing the same problem. When I download to Powerpoint, its getting downloaded properly and whn I download to excel, I am not able to download properly. I have 2 charts of the same report being displayd sde-by-side and under them I have a pivot table displayed in compound view. When downloaded to excel, the first chart is overlapping on top of the report in the excel.
Can anyone suggest if we have any options?
Thanks Shravan

Distribution working differently for the same report

Hello all,
I created a template with 3 reports, each of which opens for 4 plants.
Then, when I schedule the offline distribution process, 2 of the reports are generated correctly for all plants, while the 3rd has a strange behavior. This 3rd report has 2 sheets and opens correctly for 2 of the plants, while for the other 2:
- in one sheet, the formulas are not converted to offline mode (like _epmOfflineCondition_ ) giving an "#Error, no current connection." message and the sheet is not protected; however, the report data is correct.
- in the other sheet, everything works ok and the sheet is protected;
Any thoughts? Thanks,
Ana-Maria

Thanks Ashok,
but unfortunately the above points are not applicable to the issue indicated:
1. Log off&log on has no effect since this problem appears on all PCs and always for the same data group.
2. The data group is available in the model cube and master data.
3. We are using the ADMIN user to execute the process so we have all authorizations (also, these are defined at Country level and only one Plant from a Country is not working).
4. The formula is correct.
5. Since the report executes correctly as a standalone report and works for other plants, I don't believe there is an issue with it.
The issue still persists.

Can't reliably create a PDF enabled for commenting in Reader

I've hit a brick wall trying to find out why my Acrobat Pro 7.0.8 is broken. As of yesterday, I cannot reliably create a PDF that is enabled for commenting in Reader. I get an error message: "You do not have permission to write to this file." However, this message is halfway false Acrobat does indeed create a PDF where I tell it to. It's just not a reviewable file, which you can tell when you re-open it and see the special dialog box that first pops in front of you, and there's a key/starburst icon in the lower left corner of the Acrobat window. So the resulting output file isn't really enabled, and I've made no progress.
All I know is that before May 1st, this Acrobat Pro feature worked flawlessly every time I used it.
I tested my own file on two other co-workers' PCs and they also cannot save my file as enabled for commenting. One of them has Acro. Pro 7.0.5 and the other one has Pro 7.0.9. Nor can they save other PDF files as enabled for commenting. But creating a short (one-line) PDF from Word or WordPad DOES work, and I can save that file as enabled for commenting.
I tested a few of my existing PDFs: some of them can be output to the reviewable format without any problem, but some of the more recent ones I can't especially if they're larger. Even a Word file as small as 9 pages will not convert. I tried both printing it to the Adobe PDF printer as well as using PDFMaker. Neither one works on this file. But I was able to create reviewable PDFs from simple Word files and some older (April 2008 or earlier) Word files that were longer.
I think some incompatibility happened because of the Windows updates that get silently shoved to our PCs every Tuesday (I work for a large company). But I could be wrong to blame Microsoft.
Would the new Acrobat Pro 7.1.0 update fix this problem?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3948
My system: Windows XP, Svc. Pack 2, Word 2003.

After I removed the comma in the filenames of my problematic test files, this solution worked for me, too. I was able to again save the PDFs as enabled for commenting in Adobe Reader (to make them reviewable).
Thank you, thank you!
This definitely looks like a bug to me, because a comma IS allowed in filenames in both the PC Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.

SCCM 2012 R2- update different versions of adobe reader

Planning to push the most current adobe reader to several users.
The problem is different versions of older adobe reader is already installed on the machines.
So my question is how do I go about removing the older versions from the machines and install the most current one?
If I have to create a package for each adobe version, that would be very tedious. Please let me know if there is any other way.
thanks

If you use Adobe's Customation Wizard and configure to remove all versions, I have found that this does this reasonably well. Most of our clients only had one version of Reader installed, however, so not sure how well it would if multiple versions are installed.
The 11.x reader, however, upgraded 9.x and 10.x systems without issue. I used the full package because we had various instances of "slipstreamed" update installs and using the .MSP method would fail in these scenarios. Using the full package ensured
everyone had the exact same version and configuration once upgraded. Going forward, I can continue to use the full package method or simply deploy the .MSP.
We have the base 11.x .exe version extracted. We use the wizard to create the .mst. The setup.ini is configured with our command line and patch switches so we don't need to use any when setup.exe is run:
[Startup]
RequireMSI=3.0
CmdLine=/sPB /rs
[Product]
msi=AcroRead.msi
CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"
PATCH=AdbeRdrUpd11010.msp
The .msp file is copied into the extracted folder, which should like this:
ABCPY.INI
AcroRead.msi
AcroRead.mst
AdbeRdrUpd11010.msp
Data1.cab
setup.exe
Setup.ini
You should be able to run setup.exe without any switches. Otherwise, you can do a batch file with removal commands for all other versions and then run the setup.exe. As suggested, the PowerShell App Deploy Kit works well for this also.

Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome) - the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
"Acrobat plug-in
The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Acrobat)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Control Panel
Configure Acrobat as a helper application: Choose Edit > Preferences., Select Internet on the left., Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.Quit Acrobat or Reader
Create a registry item for Acrobat: with Regedit: If the registry item doesn't exist on the system, do the following: Go to Edit > New > Key and create the missing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.Go to Edit > New > String Value and name this key (Default).Select (Default), and then go to Edit > Modify. Type the Adobe Acrobat path in the "Value data" for your product.,restart your computer

Repair your Acrobat installation
None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

Flash not working in any browser for one user login

Hello,
I recently got my macbook pro back from repair with a new logic board, and all of a sudden Flash doesn't seem to work in any browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) for my main user login. It crashes nearly every time - in Safari it just won't load any Flash content and the activity window gives an error, and in Chrome it pops up a "Flash has crashed" warning.
I made a new user account, and Flash works perfectly well in all browsers under that login (and the guest login). This leads me to believe it must be a broken file in my user Library, but I can't figure out which one it would be.
I don't imagine this to be related to my new logic board, but I thought I'd mention that anyway. I also updated Safari to 5.1.1, which is more likely to be a cause?
I'm running OS 10.6.8, Macbook Pro 2.53ghz. Browsers are Chrome 14.0.835.202, Safari 5.1.1, Firefox 5.0.1. Flash plugin version 11.0.1.152.
I've uninstalled Flash, repaired preferences, reinstalled Flash, re-repared preferences, rebooted, all of those standard tricks, no dice.
Any support would be appreciated, I'd rather not have to migrate everything over to a new user account!

I have exactly the same problem that you have with my Mac Pro (10.7.2). At first there was only one site that was broken (I didn't pay any attention to that then), now I have found 3 different sites and sometimes problems e.g. in Youtube and other similar sites.
The broken ones are NHL Vault, Soundcloud music-plugin and RAY (browser poker client). Many other sites works just fine.
I suspect some kind of write issue to some of the flash storage/temp/cache folders but cannot resolve any further.
UPDATE: Wow, now it works! I did the above mentioned Flush-trick (manually deleted .sol files and their parent folders) and also deleted everything inside path: user/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#Security/FlashPlayerTrust/
Strange is that in any of those folder I didn't find any sign to Soundcloud and Ray, only NHL - and now all those are working.

PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
it always open in browser
I have already made following changes but didn,t work
Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
Installed Adober eader in client machine
Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you. The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

Can a link or button in a PDF open Windows Explorer to a folder for browsing?

Hello!
I am a ColdFusion and JavaScript developer, but was given a PDF search tool project that I have been developing in Acrobat XI Pro for use on Reader XI. I have most of it figured out and working very well with several JavaScript functions behind a form. My customer just asked for me to add a feature to allow the user to click a button or link and open up the library folder (with the documents being searched) in Windows Explorer so that they can browse to the file if they know exactly what they want.
So far, I have tried app.launchURL with the folder path and name. That did open it in Internet Explorer, but my customer wants it in Windows Explorer. I also tried app.browseForFile(), but I can't seem to specify the directory to start browsing it. I can't find anything online that indicates that this is even possible or how to do it. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Also, if it isn't possible, I can accept that. I just need to be able to tell my customer and I can't find any documentation on it.
Thank you very much for your help!

Sorry, not possible.
I want to correct myself. There is an old "hack" that still seems to work, which is to create a link to a file, but instead of pointing it to a file you point it to a folder. But Acrobat only lets you select a folder when you create such a link, so how to do it? Create a Word document with such a hyperlink and then use the PDFMaker plugin to convert the file to a PDF. This side-steps the Acrobat limitation and gives you a link to a folder, which when clicked will open it in Windows Explorer.
As I said, it's a bit of a hack and it's possible it will stop working if Adobe ever decides to block it, so use it with care.
