PDF document opens as blank on Gmail on IOS7.1.2

I have been sent an email with PDF attachment (tradesman's quote). If I open with Gmail on Ipad on IOS7.1.2, the PDF form is blank ie there is no data in the fields, but all the text of the form used for the PDF is there.  If I open on Gmail on Windows 7, it is fine. If I open with IOS mail app, it is blank. If I open in Ibooks it is also blank.
Anyone any ideas why this is and how to fix?

Download the free Adobe Reader app in the App Store, and open the PDF files in there. It can show form fields on the iPad. The mail app and iBooks do not have the capability to do that. iBooks is a poor pdf app IMO. Adobe wrote the book on pdf files, and their iPad app has a ton of useful features. Download it and take advantage of its features.

  • PDF document opened with Preview does not show french accents

    Hi everybody,
    I've got some issues with PDF documents opened with Preview.
    They show a blank space for all the accented vowels.
    If I open the same document with Safari, it's the same. But with Chrome, it works perfectly.
    I assume there's a problem with fonts, but, nothing wrong with fontbook (checked duplicates for instance).
    Last information : it looks ok within chrome on my Imac, but the issue comes back when I try to print from chrome app...the accents are gone on the sheet.
    Any idea ? I don't want to install Adobe reader...
    Thanks for your help !

    I don't want to install Adobe reader...
    Why not?  It can handle some pdf's that Preview can't.  At least it's worth a try.

  • IWeb • How Do I Make Links in an Embedded PDF Document Open in New Page?

    On this page http://ostyn-newman.com/Gov_Downloads.html I have a PDF document that is embedded.  I tried an IFrame, but everything seemed to work better for me with the "Embed" code.  I am open to changing this if it would be better.  Here's my problem.  I can get the PDF document to display fine, but when I click on the links in the PDF document, the destination page opens in the embedded window.  I want the links to open the destination in a new window.
    I created the part of the document with most of the links (Pages 8.5 - 56) in Numbers and cut and pasted the table into a Pages document to create the completed document on our site.  I exported the docuemnt from Pages as a PDF file which is what you see.  There is also a link to download the file on the same page which works just fine.
    I have tried to insert the target="_blank" code but have not been able to get it to open the destination pages in a new window.  I am inserting the code by using the Insert/Widget/HTML Snippet Feature in IWeb.  Here is the code I am using.
    <embed src=

    border-width:0px;
    border-color:#FFCC66;
    border-style:solid;"
    scrolling="auto" >
    </embed>
    I am not a coder and have just used Google to find the code to cut and paste and have played around with it to get to the place I am.  If anybody can tweak the code I have or offer some totally new code for me to insert that will get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
    Please keep in mind that most of the people who visit and use this page are government employees and are almost exclusivey using Explorer. 

    Thank you Jeff,
    I tried your original suggestion and now my inserted html widget reads
    <embed src=
    "http://ostyn-newman.com/Media/GS27F0026XTextfile.pdf"
    style="width:850px; height:1000px;

    border-color:#FFCC66;
    border-style:solid;"
    scrolling="auto" target="_blank">
    </embed>
    It is live on my site.  You can see that the embedded document still opens the destination links in the embedded window.
    As for your other two suggestions, thank you as well.  I am aware of those techniques and did not use them because that is not how I want the other PDF links on the page to behave.  The catalog and autocad blocks downloads in the box at the top should simply download (or behave however the client's browser is configured to handle downloaded PDF documents or zip files.)  I don't intend to force those to open a new window.  I could also have our client click on a link to the PDF document and open it in a new page (like in your second suggestion) but I was hoping to embed the PDF and have it automatically viewable on our Download • Terms • Prices Page with all of the PDF search functions intact as well as the links be active.  My only complaint at this point is that the links in the embedded PDF document open the destination page in the embed window instead of a new window.  I only want to force a new window because the destination window doesn't behave properly when it opens in my embed window and it is difficult to figure out how to go back to the my PDF document when a destination window gets opened in the embed window.  The code you sent didn't do the trick.  Or maybe I didn't get it exactly right.  That is why I included it above.  Thanks for trying though.  I appreciate the effort.
    I would be willing to bypass the imbed/iFrame route altogether if I could just somehow drop the Pages document into the IWeb page and retain the search and link features, but I've not been able to figure out how to do that.  When I was exploring how to directly drop a Pages document into an IWeb page is when I stumbled on the method of embedding a PDF document into an IWeb page to retain the important search and link features.

  • I hate this, now all pdf documents open with Adobe reader x

    Until recently all pdf documents opened nicely with Adobe Acrobat which was installed with the creative suite CS5. Recently I had to update the Acrobat plugin for Firefox and I don't know what exactly was installed but somehow I ended up with Adobe Reader x on my computer and now when I open pdf documents from my hard drive they all open with an Adobe reader which I hate. How that reader managed to install and change my experience without me noticing? Now I have to change file associations. Do I need this reader and what is it for when I have a full version of Acrobat?
    I will greatly appreciate your help.

    Unfortunately, once Reader is installed, uninstalling it will require you to repair your Acrobat installation. You should be able to right click on a PDF and select Open With and set Acrobat as the default. Also, be sure that Reader is not part of the startup of Windows (you can use Start>Run>msconfig to check that) and also open current tasks (ctrl-alt-del) and be sure AcroRd32 or similar file is not running in the background. Be aware that AcroTray is part of Acrobat and is needed for PDF creation.

  • PDF documents open as a blank page.

    I have downloaded Adobe Acrobat X onto my new computer running Windows 7 but cannot open documents like pdf online credit card statements online.  All I get is a blank page.  Also, I cannot download a pdf from an email as a pdf.  The option I get to "save as" is "all files".  I am able to open pdf documents that I have transfered to the computer on a thumb drive.  I am able to save documents as PDF in Word.
    Thank you for your help!!!!

    Have you tried to download the files (typically right click on the link) and open them in Acrobat that way, rather than the plugin to the browser. There may also be an issue with the browser. You did not mention the browser you are using, but might try FireFox or such (assuming you are currently using IE).

  • Whenever I have a pdf document open, and then switch to another tab to view another webpage, the scrolling function on the touchpad will not work. This seems to be a glitch with Mozilla, according to Dell. How do I fix this?

    When I open a pdf document (like an E-version of a newspaper) in Mozilla and then switch to another tab to view another webpage, I am unable to use the scrolling function on the touchpad. I have to use the up and down arrows to get other pages to scroll. When I close that pdf document, everything works fine. I talked with customer support with Dell, and he said it was probably a glitch with Mozilla. So I tried to do the same thing on IE, and there was no problem scrolling with the touchpad while a pdf document was open on another tab. I would like to get a fix for this so I don't have to keep closing open pdf documents in order to scroll with the touchpad while on other tabs. Thank you

  • Opening a pdf document open in another tab prevents the mouse scroll wheel from responding in the current tab. I have observed this behaviour since version 3.x.

    Right click on link for pdf document and "Open in another tab"
    Immediately, the mouse wheel scroll function stops working in the current tab (or any other open tabs).
    It's not a deal breaker, just a strange annoyance.

    Using similar scroll function on my netbook. To add to the above, I find that using scroll is actually causing the PDF to scroll rather than the tab I'm actually in.
    Reader 9 is installed on my Win7 Starter.

  • Suddenly double-clicking on a PDF document opens the Acrobat application but the document does not load.

         Up until today I had no problem opening a PDF document that I have already saved by double-clicking on it.  Now when I do that, my Acrobat application opens, but the PDF document does not.  I need to use File/ Open to select the document I want to see, or I need to right mouse click on the PDF document and choose “Open with”.  I had this once before and I had help to resolve this, but I am using Acrobat 7 Professional and since it is not supported, I can’t get help when I call Support.

    Sounds like a Windows problem. Try the right click and then select the ALWAYS open with feature. That is supposed to fix the link. If that does not work, open the file type menu under the TOOLS>Folder Options (XP view, may be other in VISTA). If you select advanced under PDF, you should get a link under the open>edit something like "c:\adobeapp\acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" "%1". The comment you make sounds like the %1 or the quotes are missing. Bill

  • Unable to view pdf documents opened from a website

    I'm not able to view pdf documents, e.g. bank statements or tax returns, when opened from a website. If the site offers the option to download, I can do that and have no problem opening the downloaded file and viewing in pdf. The problem is when the pdf file opens in another window, or in a window within a window - then I just get a black screen where the pdf document should be. Has anyone encountered this and fixed it? I've already followed any help I can find online, like making sure pop-up blocker is turned off, and that java, java script are enabled, and downloading most recent adobe acrobat. So far, nothing has worked.

    Check your browser(s) preferences to see if you have PDF files properly mapped.

    I have Always Ask to open word/text documents.
    Preview is the app I use to view PDF documents.

    Strongly recommend that you update your OS to the latest Tiger version - 10.4.11. Your system info confirms you are still using the basic OS 10.4.

  • PDF Document Opens Upside Down in Acrobat 8.2.6

    I have a PDF document that always opens upside down. After I have opened it I will correct the orientation and then re-save it but when I open it again, it is upside down. I would appreciate suggestions. I am using Acrobat Standard 8.2.6.
    Thanks for your help

    You are only rotating the view, not the page. You need to rotate the page (control-shift-R).

  • PDF document showing up blank in Reader 7.0, 8.1.0 and 8.1.2

    I have a PDF document that does not render correctly under Reader 7.0, 8.1.0 and 8.1.2, on Windows XP SP2.
    When I load the PDF, I will see part of the document page display correctly in the view area. As soon as I scroll the view area, the new area will show up as blank. If I scroll back to the original visible area, it will now be blank too. Print preview will also show the document as being blank. Printing gives a blank page.
    If I close and reopen the document, I will be able to see again the part of the document currently visible in the view area, but scrolling will again make it turn blank. This happens only with this document. Other PDFs display fine.
    The document also displays fine in Adobe Professional 8.0, and fine under the Apple PDF viewer app in Mac OS X. I have tried upgrading, reinstalling Adobe Reader and the problem remains.

    The PDF is from an external source, so I can't give a 100% accurate answer.
    File properties give the Application as "Canon", PDF version "1.3".
