PDF downlaod crashes my site?

I've discovered that downloading some older pdf's on my site crashes (well, freezes) the page. You can get page 1, but only an inch of page 2, and must then control/alt/delete. See www.identityworks.com/articles/spaeth1993.pdf I don't have this problem with multi-page pdf's on other sites, or with most pdf's on www.identityworks.com. But Earthlink (hosts server) says it's a Reader problem. Any suggestions?

I use SeaMonkey as my default browser and it did crash about 2/3 of the way down the 2nd page. If I right clicked on the document and saved it, there was no problem. I would suggest you do an Optimize on the file in Acrobat and repost it to see if things are fixed. I have no clue why there is a problem. You might consider moving backward a bit in compatibility.
I just tried to open the file with FIreFox and I got a warning about a script. It appears that there may be something lurking in the file that is not apparent, but is causing the problem in the form of a script. However, the PDF shows no scripts in it. All I can say is what is happening in my browsers. IE also had the same problem in the download and froze.

PDF Export Crash (follow-up)

There was a thread a while back titled "PDF Export Crash." Because it was archived, I was unable to post my findings there. This issue recently became front and center for me within the last 24 hours. For those unaware, I am referring to an issue where Pages crashes every single time you try to export to PDF on certain documents (even through the print dialog). Using a different computer only produces the same results!
After some investigation and testing, I was able to discover that the presence of footnotes was directly tied to the problem. Once removed, seamless exporting followed. However, not all footnotes were responsible. I found the third page of my document, when isolated, exported just fine along with its footnote; while the fourth page of my document, when isolated, did not export (crashed). Footnote along are there NOT directly responsible.
Although I am still unable to determine the exact problem, I would like to make these observations available along with another workaround I discovered. It is a little tedious, but absolutely guaranteed to work for someone who is desparate.
1. Copy and paste your entire document into TextEdit.
2. Create a new blank Pages document and past it back in.
3. Manually add your footnote back in one at a time.
4. Make any minor formatting corrections from the transfer.
After using this method to recreate the original document, while visibly symmetrical, the recreation process somehow eliminated the "quirks" that were causing Pages to crash during a PDF export.
If anyone is still having this issue, I'd be interested to hear from you. Especially if you have discovered exactly what causes certain footnotes to disrupt the PDF export process.
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

In order to isolate the problem as much as possible, you may want to delete parts of the document, step by step, and see how small it can be and still crash.
If you are lucky, that may tell us exactly what causes the crash.
If you are unlucky, the reason is an exceptional corruption of the document, which happened some time in the past, and which cannot be isolated this way.
Good luck!

PDF Maker crashing Outlook 2013 in Windows 8.1

I have:
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Outlook 2013 64-bit
Adobe Acrobat XI Standard, 11.0.06
This is what I do:
Start Outlook. Outllok crashes: Displays popup window saying "Microsoft Outlook has stopped working". The only option is "Close program" I click which closes the popup window. Outlook did not start at all.
I start Outlook a second time. This time Outlook starts but has a yellow bar at the top that says, "ADD-IN PROBLEM". I click to view Disabled Add-Ins. PDF Maker Office COM Add-in is disabled. I click to enable.
I close Outlook. Then I start Outlook again. Outlook crashes as before. The second time has PDF Maker disabled as before, etc.
Looks like Adobe PDF Maker crashes Outlook 2013.

I'm surprised that nobody from Adobe replied. I guess Adobe does not care if users are having problems using their software.
In any case, I found that if you right-click on Outlook, then run Outlook in administrator mode, Outlook starts up, and PDF Maker does not crash Outlook. So I guess that means that if you want the extra protection of not running Outlook in Administrator mode, then you cannot use Adobe Acrobat.
I like Adobe Acrobat. So, this leaves me in a quandry. I tried other PDF makers and editors. I like Adobe Acrobat the best. I remember Nuance's PDF software was so buggy. As far as I can tell, Adobe Acrobat has only one bug, and that bug is only in the PDF Maker part. Everything else Adobe has been working. But I also don't want to give up the protection by having to run Outlook in Administrator Mode.

When trying to upload a PDF to an interactive site I get the announcement:"The attached PDF file references a non-embedded font Tahoma. Please remove file, embed the font and reattach." How do I embed this, or in fact any other font ?

When trying to upload a PDF to an interactive site I get the announcement: "The attached PDF file references a non-embedded font Tahoma. Please remove file, embed the font and reattach."
I could not get rid of the Tahoma font in the WORD file.
How do I embed this, or in fact any other font ?

Thank you very much !
Indeed, I was unaware of the enormous number of options that can be selected when converting a WORD file to PDF.
I went thru the settings and found the right one for embedding the fonts.
Thanks again !

I have a button that opens a PDF that crashes Moodle and Scorm Cloud. How can I fix this?

I'm using adobe Captivate 5.5
I have a button that opens a PDF that crashes the course when in an LMS (I've tried moodle and scorm cloud). When I play the course in my browser, the file opens fine and the course continues. Does anyone know why opening this file doesn't work when I upload the SCORM package to an LMS?
Thanks,

I cannot open any pdf on any web site!

Any advice please. I cannot open any pdf on any web site!
This happened since Monday 16 Septemeber, after I downloaded and then uninstalled Adobe Reader.
My Safari preference is "allow all other plug-ins", and preview would open pdf downloaded files to my MBA, but not if on the web.

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 the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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.

Muse crashes upon site or page preview

Hello,
I have been working with this production site for 6 months now without any problems. I ran the Muse update this morning (2014.2). Now every time that I try to preview any of the site pages or the whole site, this message occurs - "Why trying to resize image to a height of 0 (or negative)?"
This is a production site so any help or input on this one will be greatly appreciated! Any ideas?

I sent an e-mail (that identifies the problem and explains how to workaround it) to you directly, roughly 20 minutes before your post above. Have you not received it?
Here's the message (with your e-mail address removed). I've also omitted the screenshots, since I don't know whether you're okay with your content being made public.

Thank you for the assets, that's what I needed.
The bug is being triggered by a 1px by 1px thumbnail image on the "Code Enforcement" page. If you select this image and resize it slightly larger (i.e. 3px by 3px) that will avoid the bug. We'll look at updating Muse to correctly handle this case.
The specific thumbnail is for the "CodeEnforcement_features_image3.jpg" image. The first screen shot shows the image selected in Design view. It's the tiny orange rectangular dot in the middle of the screen. It's the resized thumbnail image for the middle dot. The second image shows the image selected in the Assets panel. If you right click on this entry in the Assets panel and select Go To Asset, that's probably the easiest way to select this image. Or you could select it using the Layers panel, as shown in the third screenshot. Once selected you can enter larger height and width values in the Transform panel or Control Strip.
Once this image has been made slightly larger (but still entirely cropped out by the thumbnail image frame), the export process should complete without errors.
Very sorry for the inconvenience. We'll look at correcting this for an update.

Firefox crasht bij het openen van een pdf van een web site

Firefox op deze Vaio crasht direct als ik een pdf van een web site wil openen. Dit is sinds een maand of twee het geval. Safari en Internet Explorer geven dat probleem niet.
Ik heb geen probleem met het openen van pdf's in het algemeen.
Ik heb Firefox al geherinitialiseerd, en opstarten in veilige modus (zonder add-ons) geprobeerd. Heb ook (zonder resultaat) geprobeerd automatisch openen uit te schakelen.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

'''Dear sir/Madam'''
I'm using Firefox. 13.0.1

While at the same time, other browsers do not have a problem.
If I click the refresh button several times on that page, will be displayed correctly
When I disable the Acrobat plugin, file to be downloaded. I get notices that the downloaded file size is less than the original file. When I want to open it in Acrobat, also acrobat, can't open it and I get failure message: the file is corrupted.
I'm using Windows XP with sp3
So far I have not encountered such a problem in Windows 7

PDF Form Crashes and/or Gives Bad Parameter Error

I've created a simple PDF form in InDesign 6 and it opens in both Acrobat 9 Pro and X with no problems. The form only has radial buttons and text fields, with a submit button.
I can fill out the form and when I submit it, I get a Bad Paramenter error in Acrobat X.
With Acrobat 9 Pro I'm asked "This document is trying to connect to: file//localhost, If you trust this site, choose Allow. If you do not trust this site, choose Block.
I choose Allow and Acrobat crashes with the error "Acrobat quit unexpectedly" with a very long Problem Details and System Confiuration message (see below).
Any ideas would greatly be appreciated. I've attached links to both the Acrobat form and the original InDesign file if that helps.
