PDF Error on iPhone/iPad

I use a ticket sales site on safari that when you've finished a sale opens the ticket in pdf format. This used to work fine but recently the ticket is not being recognised as a pdf and instead the ticket is not selectable to save or use with other apps. Is this a security or setting issue with Safari or something else? Nothing has chaged on the site or how the site generates the pdfs and they work fine on other computers, just not the iphone/ipad.
Thanks

just not the iphone/ipad.
Hi..
This is the forum for Safari for the Mac OS X.

Will SWFs embedded in PDFs play on iPhone\iPad?

Hi
I've been developing a portfolio PDF which uses some Flash features, but with the way things seem to be going for Flash esp. its omission from iOS, I wondered whether this was a good idea for maximum portability esp if potential employers are viewing my portfolio on an Apple device.
So here's the key thing - will Flash files embedded in a PDF play correctly when viewed in Adobe Reader for iPhone\iPad i.e. is the Flash playback functionality contained in Adobe Reader, or does it rely on the Flash player installed in the platform?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks Lori - Embedded swfs do not play on the mobile Reader.

Interactive PDF on an iPhone/iPad?

Hi folks...I'm supposed to create an "interactive presentation" for work so I created a document in InDesign and used a lot of buttons to go back and forth between pages, video files for page dividers and a lot of rollovers. I saved the file as a PDF and it works perfectly fine using Acrobat on a mac or pc...all rollovers intact. The boss wants people to be able to view the same PDF on an iPhone and iPad.
Is this even possible? I got a couple PDF apps for my iPhone to test it out and none of the rollovers worked, the movies didn't play and some images ended up going missing. The boss is telling me to find a way to get this to work on them but I don't think there is...at least not with my skillset.
I need to give her reasons why it's NOT working...any ideas? Is there some applicationsn better suited to have it work on the web and iDevices?

Thanks guys. Any ideas what type of software is required to create "interactive" files for the iDevice? Kinda like what Loud Crow did with the Peter Rabbit book where you can pull tabs, flip pages and all that...I'm assuming that's way outta my job expertise.

Fillable PDF created on Mac, filled in on Mac's/PC's have empty fields when emailed to iPhone/iPad

Hi!
I create fillable forms on my Mac using Adobe Acrobat and both PC and Mac customers fill in the forms and submit them to their own customers.
When I fill in the form on my Mac (using Adobe Acrobat) and email it to me and open the PDF on my Android the filled-in information is there.
When I fill in the form on my Mac (using Adobe Acrobat) and email it to my customer and he opens the PDF on his iPhone/iPad all the filled-in information is gone, the fields are blank.
When he fills in the form on his PC (I'm assuming he's on a PC, he may be on Mac but regardless he's having the problem) using the free Reader and emails it to himself and opens the PDF on his iPhone/iPad all the filled-in information is gone, the fields are blank.
What can I do on my end, when using the full Adobe Acrobat on my Mac to create forms, to make them in such a way that when my customer emails a filled-in PDF from their computer the filled-in info stays intact on the iPhones/iPads?
I can't tell each customer individually that he/she has to download a particular app because the PDF viewer on their phone won't show the filled-in information, that would a logistics nightmare, so I need to figure out what to do on my end when initially creating the forms so that the filled-in information will show up on their iPhones/iPads.
Help please?
Thank you so much!!
Diane

There are two basic approaches to this problem:
1. Convince every user to use a compliant PDF viewer, one that supports forms (e.g., Adobe Reader, PDF Expert on iOS)
2. Flatten the form after filling it in and before sending it along for other users to view
You mentioned some of the problems with #1.
For #2, if a form is flattened, the form fields will get converted to regular page contents, allowing non-forms-capable PDF viewers to see the data. Acrobat users can flatten a form a number of ways. The problem is with Reader, which doesn't have a specific form flattening feature. Desktop versions of Reader (Mac/Windows) flatten forms when they are signed with the new EchoSign e-signature feature and saved, but this feature is not available with forms that are Reader-enabled. All this means there is currently no way to guarantee that the data in a filled-in form will be viewable on all mobile PDF viewers, but there are some things you can do to increase the odds.

PDF plot from OS X, then sent to iPhone/iPad - error

Hi!
This is a tricky one. I am not sure if this belongs here or in iOS support, but I guess it is a OSX issue.
You can read an initial thread in this Autodesk forum, from where I jumped here looking for help.
http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-for-Mac-General/Plotting-to-pdf-hides-some -layers-on-iPhone-iPad/m-p/4979434/highlight/false
The thing is whenever I plot an Autocad 2014 drawing to pdf, all the lines with a width smaller than 0.05mm disappear when viewing the pdf on an iPhone or iPad.
The pdf is displayed correctly on my Macbook Pro and on Windows computers. It is also printed correctly from my laptop. If the whole plot to pdf process is done on a windows computer, when you view the pdf on an iPhone there is no such issue. That's why I guess it is a OSX issue.
I have not tried any other software that produces cad or vector drawings that can produce the same effect, but this is a ver annoying issue because I have to use a different computer when I need to send drawings via email, just in case they are opened on an iDevice. I have not tried mobile devices other than iPhone or iPad, either

I traced the problem to what I believe was a setting on my router (Cisco 4200N). There is some BS setting for:
WMM Support
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a wireless Quality of Service feature that improves quality for audio, video, and voice applications by prioritizing wireless traffic.
I disabled this and so far things have been working 100%. I will update if things change. Its only been working for a slid day so far. But before I changed this setting, I couldn't even get it to work after establishing a WIRED connection first. So this is very promising.
I hope anyone having this problem with a 4200N router comes across this thread and I save them some time.

I have an issue with some PDF documents some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying on iPhones, iPad 2s

Hi,
I have an issue with some PDF documents & some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying properly on iPhones, iPad 2s & new iPads?
PDF docs - areas of the doc only show as grey splotches regardles of viewer
MS Word Docs -
inserted graphics don't display at all,
tables & lists especially with borders are broken &
tables & lists missing the borders &
tables & lists missing the 1st 1-2 lines of the lists/tables.
This is replicated on iPhone 4s, iPhone 4Ss, iPad 2s, iPad new (x2)
It certainly happens in iOS 5.1.1 & iOS 5.1
We believe it all worked aok in iOS 5.0.1(?) & prior
There is no problems reading/seeing these PDF & Word docs on anything other than iDevices.
This is rather critical for us & if not quickly fixed/rectified will prevent us from further purchases of these devices
Rolling back to iOS 5.0.1 or prior I believe isn't possible because of the BaseBand update(?) & isn't much of an option because of the quite noticeable Battery/Charging/WiFi improvements in 5.1 & 5.1.1

Hi,
I logged a call with AppleCare & have since had explained why this occurs (some time ago)
I'll try to explain what was indicated to me.
iOS has a limited Font Set & this affects what PDFs can display. You need to use iOS supported fonts in your PDFs to see/read them properly
These supported fonts are indicated here => http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4980
Regards MS office docs, iOS doesn't have much of an API to work with MS Office documents at all so is stuck with 3rd Party Apps to try to do it.
Unfortunately Mail in/on iOS uses the API to attempt to open/use MS Office attachments unless you tell it to use an App to open the attachment.
I have had success opening & reading MS office docs now with CloudOn, but find it slow & very awkward to use.
Not too sure if this helps others, but at least it explains why this is occurring

How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

If the PDF supports it then you can try opening the PDF in iBooks on your phone and use the 'share' icon (the square with the upward pointing arrow) to email it to yourself (some PDFs a protected and don't support emailing) and use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPad to copy it to its Mail app.
Or you can connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to your iTunes (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just ibooks) and if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its iBooks app, and you can then sync it to your iPad.

Why can't I save PDF files on my iPad and iPhone

Since I upgraded to iOS 5 I have not been able to save PDF fines on my iPad and iPhone . Yet that's want the case before the upgrade. Can some one tell me why...b,se I feel like the upgrade was a step backward than forward..

Thanks for this Griff but it's not the app that isn't responding. I am in the facebook app (on both iPhone and iPad) and the app is working fine but if people post a video I can't look at the video on the iPhone or iPad. i always used to be able to but now it keeps coming up with the message I mentioned above. So I can no longer watch videos from facebook on either my iPad or iPhone. Here is a screen shot of my phone of what is happening. As you can see I have full wifi so there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. This is really annoying as I used to be able to watch videos on both phone and ipad out of facebook. now I can't. Hope you can help. regards and thanks Vicki

My iPhone, iPad and G5 cant open PDF or Word attachments on emails generated from a specific PHP written system.

I use iPhone, iPad and G5 receiving emails generated from a PHP written system hosted on 1and1. I cant open PDF or Word attachments on any emails. The attachment's file names are displayed at the bottom of the email with no link. No problem on Windows Outlook. Is it me, 1and1 or the PHP system!? Does Apple OS handle email attachments differently to Windows? Help!?

Followed your instructions on my iPhone running 4.3.5 and my iPad which is running iOS 5 beta 4... IT WORKS!
Thanks a lot!

PDF colors wrong on ipad/iphone HELP!

When exporting PDFs from InDesign they look great on the computere but there is a HUGE color shift on the Ipad/Iphone. The main color is a rich purple which turns into neon blue on the iphone/Ipad.
Through research I have found that iphones/ipads show RGB color. I have tried ALL RGB settings in InDesign and the best that I get is a dark blue.
Has anyone been able to solve this???
HELP!

I agree with Dov that this is an Apple iOS problem—there's no color management. But the problem is exacerbated if the PDF contains CMYK of any flavor—the further removed from device RGB the color is the worse the result.
You can see this if you make a document with a mix of CMYK and RGB and export it to PDF/X-4 where there are no color conversions and everything is profiled, vs. the same document converted and flattened to sRGB on export.
So here's an example showing why John Hawkinson's #3 suggestion is actually the best approach.
An InDesign page with SWOP CMYK and Adobe RGB objects. The Transparency Blend Space is RGB.
And the PDF/X-4 on an iPad where the CMYK objects completely fall apart because their profiles can't be used.
And the sRGB export, which isn't perfect but is considerably better, because sRGB is closer to the iOS device RGB than SWOP CMYK. The conversion to sRGB using an RGB Transparency Blend Space simply produces a better result:
Here are the 2 test PDFs

Is it possible to open a PDF from the notes section in the iPhone/iPad calendar app?

If it's not possible, do you know if there is a third party app that can accomplish this? I am an administrative assistant and it would be very helpful to attach PDF documents to my boss' calendar in Outlook so then he could access it from his iPhone/iPad at meetings. As of now, I email him the required PDF documents before his meetings so he can then access them using iBooks. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Not directly as an attachment, but you can put a URL. A web link.
E.G., a dropbox file link might be quick and easy. It's how I would do it.
