Pdf document won't open

Have a new Intel iMac w/ OS 10.5.2 and a pdf document won't open. I get the message"you can't open the application because it's not supported on this architecture". The pdf document will open if I use Preview. What's the problem? Thanks for any input.

"Compress images in pdf documents" won't work

I created this workflow:
1. Get selected Finder objects
2. Compress images in pdf documents
3. Copy Finder objects to...
... but it won't work, the images are not compressed. Anyone any suggestions?

To examine this I made three pdf documents from three Pages documents (running compression during export to pdf) each containing one image: one psd, one tiff and one jpg image. Running the workflow on these pdfs, the pdfs containing the psd and the tiff files were compressed but not the pdf containing the jpg image. I then made two pdf documents exported from Indesign containing a tiff file; one pdf export compressing and downsampling the tiff image and one with no downsampling and compression. Running the workflow on these two pdfs did not further compress the already compressed pdf, but did compress the pdf containing the uncompressed image. To further optimize pdf documents already compressed on export from Indesign one has to use Acrobat, which, of course, is the most efficient and flexible tool for optimizing pdf documents.

PDF documents won't open in browser page

I've been having trouble with Safari lately. This is my main browser, and whenever I try to open any PDF documents, I get an error message that goes something like "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found." Whenever I have to see a PDF document, I have to open another browser (IE 9) and paste the URL in order to view the document. I...think that this error has been showing up ever since I updated Adobe Reader... =/
Is there any way that I can fix this?
* Currently have Safari 5.0.2

think that this error has been showing up ever since I updated Adobe Reader
By way of experiment, if you uninstall and reinstall your Adobe Reader, does Safari still display the same behavior?
(Wondering here if your nppdf32.dll, which controls the Adobe PDF plugin, might be slightly damaged. I think the relevant copy of the file that Safari uses lives in the Reader files. If so, a reinstall of Reader may help.)

How to make firefox open a URL in a PDF document which is loaded using Adobe PDF viewer in firefox to always in a new browser window ?

Hi
I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF viewer.
Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new firefox browser window ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sen Lee

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

PDF Document Won't Appear in Share Folder

When attempting to save the document to a network share folder of her choosing, the PDF document is not in the folder. User is saving the pdf from a loan system. To trouble shoot I saved a txtx file and it did appear in the shared folder - any thoughts?

If safari is showing a download (is that what you mean by "safari downloads box"?) then it is (was) a download in progress and has not completed to make the final finished download.

PDF Documents Won't Download

When I click on a PDF document, the web site opens up a new tab and puts the PDF in the new tab. From there, I can scroll the PDF and zoom in and out of the PDF.
However, Download or View in Preview icons (located bottom center of the page) nothing happens. The file does not download, nor will it open in preview.
I checked the Internet Plug-ins folder and did see AdobePDF reader was installed, so I uninstalled those. But I still have the problem.
Any suggestions to fix this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Flash documents won't load

I was playing an escalating flash game when it froze my
browser. A flash error window popped up saying "A script is causing
your computer to slow down and it may become unresponsive. Click
yes to terminate the script." I did, but it seems the change was
permanent as many flash documents that use scripts (so mostly
games) won't get past the first tenth of the loading bar.

Sorry, no good. I used the administrator version as I suppose I am my own administrator. The appearance was a bit different, the result just the same.
I am beginning to think it is something very elementary and stupid that I am doing. As it is I am just fed up with the whole thing. If I could get it to load on any other brower would change.

PDF's won't load in Safari

So in the Leopard manual is says that PDF's will now open in Safari, and that if i hover my mouse cursor near the bottom of the screen, a series of option buttons will appear where i can download the file or open it in preview. I take this new feature to mean i don't need adobe acrobat to view PDF files online. However, when i click on a PDF file in a website, it automatically downloads it to my downloads folder without opening it in Safari. How do I make Safari open the PDF file in a safari window like the manual says it should?

Hi
My name is Diethard and I am a recent switcher from PC to Mac, living in Switzerland. I have found an article in the forum, where you helped someone on the problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I have made the "mistake" to install the Acrobat Reader ... and then decided that I prefer to view pdf files through the Preview-function of Leopard. I have managed to get the Preview to be the pdf view for pdf files from the HD. But in Safari I am confronted with the problem, that the click on the pdf icon opens a window, which is then searching for the Acrobat pdf view - which is deinstalled already.
From the article I saw that you proposed to the other person that one should make sure that the library is free of any plug-ins. I have checked this and can confirm that the library folder Internet/Plug-Ins is empty (well, I don't know whether there are "hidden" files, like under Windows). However, when I am opening Safari and look at the menu Help/Installed Plug-ins, I find on top of all other plug-ins a list of plug-ins of Adobe Acrobat (I have copied the list at the end of this mail). But I don't know where I can find them, whether I can de-insatll them without creating a problem.
I also tried the other proposal from the same mail string (write a code into the Konsole), but also that did not prevent Safari to open the acrobat pdf viewer window and then search for the (no longer) existing Acrobat 8.0 ...
Any idea how I could get this solved and back to pure Leopard pdf viewing? Maybe I need to mention that I also have Adobe Photoshop on my PC. Thus I can not just delete anything with Adobe in the name ...
Thank you in advance
Diethard

Aperture printed book in pdf (mail) won't load in iPad2

Any one has an idea how to convert a book printed from Aperture to a pdf (mail) format so it will load in iPad
The file resulting from my book of 100 pages was 541MB an it can be seen with Adobe Reader but when loaded to iPad goinf through the recommended method of dropping it in iTuene and sync it with the iPad.
Just loads the cover and 100 blank pages. If I open it it freezes the iPas and crash the app.
Is there an application that can make smaller files from exiisting odf files?

Edlatour-
I just realized there was a step left out. When you get to the Print window, first check "Selected Images in Sidebar" under Pages. Otherwise I think you just get another copy like the original.
The revised process:
Open the PDF in Preview. Under View, be sure Thumbnails is checked, so you can see all pages next to the one you are reading. Click on the first page thumbnail. Under Edit, Select All. Under File, select Print. In the Print window, check "Selected Images in Sidebar" under Pages. Then select PDF-Save as PDF, and give it a new name.
This is a handy way to make a PDF out of several individual files. Open one in Preview and check View-Thumbnails. Then one-by-one, drag each file into the Thumbnail sidebar. Drag them into the order you want. Under Edit, Select All, et cetera. It is possible to mix file types as long as each is compatible with Preview.

Hyperlinks within .PDF document won't open in browser.

So what I want to happen is when I click a hyperlink within a .PDF file which is opened via Adobe Reader XI, I want a new tab/browser (the link) to be opened with/in Chrome.
Currently when I hover my mouse over a link, it turns into a clicky hand thing with a tiny letter 'w' and the address floats above in a box. When I try to shift/normal/ctrl click the link, nothing happens.
Default settings in the reader and chrome.
Thanks!

Yes. If I open this .pdf file in chrome and click the link, a new tab will open with the link.
Also, I just found something else out. When I open the settings in Adobe Reader and try clicking on the 'help' links such as 'What is protected view' under 'security', I get a message saying "Online help content cannot be displayed. Verify you can launch your web browser and have access to the Internet".

Pdf documents won't open for me

When in a web site like the VA Portal or local Board of Realtors, when I try to open .pdf files, all I get is a "x" boxed, in the upper left corner. How can I get them to open? I have Acrobat X, fully updated.

think that this error has been showing up ever since I updated Adobe Reader
By way of experiment, if you uninstall and reinstall your Adobe Reader, does Safari still display the same behavior?
(Wondering here if your nppdf32.dll, which controls the Adobe PDF plugin, might be slightly damaged. I think the relevant copy of the file that Safari uses lives in the Reader files. If so, a reinstall of Reader may help.)

The last page of every pdf document won't print.

If I ask to print just one page - nothing. If I ask for two pages, I get the first page. Help. Using Mac OSX 10.9.5 and Adobe 11.0.09
I tried printing using an older version of Adobe, had the 'won't print last page problem' so I upgraded to the latest version. Still the same exact problem. Does anyone have suggestions?

I have the same problem, but not just in Acrobat. Indesign also. So... I can't print a single page. Have to print two, and toss the one I don't want. Seems to be a problem with Adobe print interface. I can sometimes "trick" it by going to system print dialog box and back out again.

Since updating safari, it scrambles pdfs and won't load them in preview

since the last update of Safari, I cannot open any pdfs in either preview or adobe reader (I prefer preview). it will however open photos if I click on them (and opens them in preview). what I get when I click on something to open - or sometimes even a link, is a page of gibberish. Help!

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
