Pdf file opens only with Adobe Reader

I have a pdf file that I received that I can only view with Adobe reader. Every Mac application including Preview and every other one that should handle pdf shows a page that looks like a web page and says "Please wait" and some other stuff about if you are not redirected to your page you may not be able to open this type of file. Adobe reader (latest version) can open the file just fine.
Is there some reason why the Apple programs cannot open this file? Has Adobe done something to this file to lock out Apple software? Is there some incompatibility with the latest Adobe file version for pdfs?

I have created the pdf files using txTextControl.ServerTextControl
The additional space after the "w" is a result of charaster spacing, there is no whitespace in pdf file after "w"
If i open the same pdf in some other pdf reader like Sumatra pdf reader, it gets opened without any white space after "w".
However, there is no space after the "w" in the PDF document, its the adobe  reader issue.

  • Merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader

    Does anyone know how to merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader. Is it even possible?
    Thanks

    If you've got a Mac and OSX you can do this in Preview.  Make sure you can see the sidebar with the first PDF opened, and then drag the second PDF to the bottom of the last page in the sidebar.  Also you can reduce the size of your saved file by selecting (or making) a Quartz filter to 'reduce file size'
    Cheers

    You would need either Acrobat (link to free 30 day trial) or our PDF Pack subscription service to perform that task.

  • I am having a file moving issue with Adobe Reader XI

    I am having a file moving issue with Adobe Reader XI on a Windows 7 32bit system. When Adobe reader is set as the default program for PDF files moving files from one directory to another takes over a minute, regardless of the size of the file. When the default handler is set to another program, like Nuance or PDF Creator, this is instant. What in Adobe Reader is causing this and what can I do to speed up file moving? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I am using Windows 7 home edition and using Internet Explorer 10
    The PDF's are online on websites that I am trying to open.  Both on the site as well as trying in a new window.
    Thank you

  • When I open a pdf file, Firefox opens a blank window, then the file opens in a Adobe Reader window. How can I stop the blank window?

    Whether I am using Firefox 3.6.8 or Thunderbird 3.0.6, clicking on a pdf file opens a new window. After a few seconds the pdf file opens in a separate Adobe Reader window. When I am done with that and close it, I still have to go back and close out the blank window. Got to be a configuration issue some place. I have tried several settings under Tools/Options, but haven't found the right setting yet. Any suggestions?

    Thank you very much for the reply. I followed your instructions. This fixed half of the problem. Links to pdf files that are on web pages now come up with a box that asks if I want to open or save the file, without a blank browser window in the background. That is great.
    When I tested the fix with pdf file links in email, the problem still exists. I tested links in Outlook Express, Yahoo mail, and Gmail. Any time I click on a pdf link in an email, a blank Firefox window opens and then I get the small window that asks me if I want to open or save the file. Sounds like this is a configuration issue, not a technical problem. Thanks for your help.

  • Cannot open pdf files from websites with Adobe Acrobat X

    Since purchasing and having my IT technician install Adobe Acrobat X, I can no longer open pdf documents that are hosted on websites.  We have many pdf documents on our business network and MS SharePoint sites.  Since the upgrade these will not open directly when selected in the MS Browser.  I can download the files to my computer and then open them.  I see the same issue with pdf documents hosted on "outside" websites.  I have set associations to pdf files to Adobe Acrobat 10  rather than the reader that is also installed on this machine but still have this same issue.
    The error message window that opens in the browser says, "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader.  If it is running, please exit and try again. (1:1)
    I have tried with the Adobe application running and with it not running and there is no difference.
    Is there something I can check or have my IT technician check to try and get this issue resolved?
    I am runing Windows XP Professional with the latest service packs.
    I am using Internet Explorer 8
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Hi Keith,
    Thanks for your mail.
    Here's the link to the KB article that gives the details of how to configure the SharePoint server for Acrobat X. These changes enable PDF files opened directly from the SharePoint browser to be recognized as SharePoint files by Acrobat and this can be verified by going to the File menu in Acrobat. The File menu will have a menu item SharePoint Server.

  • Corrupted .pst files due to mistakenly trying to open them with Adobe Reader

    This is a second post re the same problem, as I previously got only one response (from B. Alheit), which asked me to identify my operating system. I am beyond desperate to get this problem fixed.
    As described previously (S Giraffe - 11/14), I was about to apply an email recovery program to some .pst files when, somehow (late at night/tired), I inadvertently clicked "Open with Adobe Reader." Then the disaster! The Adobe Reader logo appeared on the .pst file's icon - and also on every other .pst file in my Documents folder. When I tried to open them I got the following error message:
    "Adobe Reader could not open 'Outlook (_).pst' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged."
    I went back to my exernal hard drive to again decompress the original backup files, but these, too, all had the Adobe Reader logo on their icons and brought the same error message. How could trying to open ONE .pst file with Adobe Reader have affected every other .pst file on my C drive and in my external hard drive???
    I need to recover my emails and contacts! Can anyone tell me anything that would enable me to correct whatever Adobe Reader did to my .pst files and get them back to their former state. I would be immensely appreciative.

    Adobe Reader didn't "do" anything to your PST file, but you probably changed the file association by leaving "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" checked.
    What you need to do is to reset the file association from Adobe Reader, and change it e.g. to SCANPST.EXE
    If you have a recent system restore point (before the file association changed), restore that save point.  If not, you need to change it manually (either in the registry, or by opening the PST file with SCANPST.EXE, and again check "Always use the selected program...".

  • Sequence multiple PDFs to activate comments with Adobe Reader

    Hi all!
    At first i would say: Sorry for my bad english - iam german.
    Iam a System Administrator and one of our Business customers have multiple old PDFs (about 90GB - yes 90 Gigabytes!) and he bought Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro last month and all other Workers in his Company are using the Reader 9.
    He want all 90GB of his PDFs to be enabled for commenting with Adobe Reader. But there are some one hundereds of thousands of PDFs - so iam looking for a sequencing solution to activate the commentary function in every PDF. I havent found this function in the sequence Function in Acrobat.
    So is it possible to sequence it or do he has to activate it manually?
    Thanks for any answer!
    Greetz, Martin

    LiveCycle Reader Extension requires you purchase or own a server. You
    must know how to run the server, then you must purchase the product for
    use in the server. It is not cheap. But it can handle 90 Gigs of pdfs.
    Be ware that the size of the pdfs is not relevant. When pricing the
    software you probably need to know approximately how many pdfs you need
    to prepare and how often.

  • I am trying to open a file that was e-mailed to me in the PDF format, when I click on it, the icon shows ''connecting'', but doesn't open the file are allow me to save it to my computer so I can open it with Adobe Reader, what else can I do??

    My suppliers e-mail me a copy of my monthly statements which is so much better than using snail mail, but since I have started using Mozilla Firefox, I can't seem to get them to open nor will it allow me to save them to my computer. Do you have any idea why this would do this??

    Hi brendalynn6,
    Have you looked at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article? There are a couple of different PDF plugins listed in the article. I'd suggest you give those a shot. You might also want to take a look at [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]].
    Hopefully this helps!

    I have a pdf that will only open in Adobe Reader.  I need to print it but when I try, I keep getting the message "Before you can preform .....you must install a printer."  I have several printers networked to this machine.  They all have up to date drivers.  I've tried changed the default printer.  I must print this document and am getting very frustrated.  I am on a Windows 7 PC.
