PDF File settings.

When I open any PDF file the screen explodes to about 700%. Can't find out why. Anyone know why?

What software and version do you have, on what system?

I am trying to print a PDF file to a legal size paper and I would like for it to fill up the page. How do I do this? I went into the settings and changed it from letter to legal, but it's still printing out the same size. Can someone help me, please?

Security Settings in Robohelp 9 PDF files

I think this is a Robohelp problem because it only happens when I launch a PDF from a Robohelp-generated site. It does NOT happen in Adobe Acrobat. It may be a conflict with Windows 7 - we just loaded it yesterday - because before that everything worked.
We created a PDF file with interactive fields, and NO security settings. The file has signature fields that populate with your digital ID when you click the red tag. It works just fine in Acrobat - you can type data into the fields, and the digital ID dialog launches when you click the red tag. If you click OK, the field displays your digital signature.
However, when I launch the file from online help I created with Robohelp 9, I get an error message stating that the security settings on the document don't allow adding text or placing a signature on it. I double checked, and there is NO security. See the attached images. Is this a bug? Should I report it?
Thanks

Hi there
I'm wondering if the following is happening to you.
When in Acrobat, you are viewing the document differently and able to make edits. When you are opening the PDF from RoboHelp (or more accurately, the browser) you are presenting it from the PDF reader and not Acrobat. Thus you have different capabiities.
Cheers... Rick

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

Are there settings in Acrobat to enable a PDF file to open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader by Default rather than open in a Browser

Are there settings in Acrobat to enable a PDF file to open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader by Default rather than open in a Browser

There is a check box in the preference (under edit). I have not had great success with this setting, but that is what it is supposed to do. Don't expect it to happen in Chrome that has it's own PDF viewer (or the preview function on a MAC). You might also check the settings for your particular browser.

How do I change my security settings to allow pdf files to auto-open in new version of adobe reader?

I have just updated my Adobe Reader and now I can't download and open pdf files anymore.
I tried going through the preferences in Reader, but it says that the setting is tied in with 'security administration' settings on Mac OS X.
I have not actually changed anything in the settings so am assuming that this is something to do with the most recent update to either Adobe Reader or OS X security.
What can I do to fix this?

Thank you for your help.
I also found that Mozilla Firefox seemed to be part of the problem.
Switched to google chrome and this seems to have made downloading pdf's possible again

When saving a PDF file, it saves multiple of the exact same documents, why/or how do I change those settings?

When savind a PDF file, it saves multiple of the same document, why? Are there settings to adjust or what am I doing wrong?

This might help - I'm not sure:
Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Click "General" and check "Always close windows when quitting an application."

Firefox will not open pdf files & changes the options/applications settings?

At first, with default settings, Firefox would not open pdf files & came up only with a blank screen & no file reference. Going to options/applications & changing the default to a new installation of Adobe Reader still brought up a blank screen but this time with the file ref. Oddly though, attempting to open any pdf file would then change the setting under applications back to Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox). But this doesn't work. So what do I need to do to get Firefox to open pdf files correctly using Adobe Reader?

See if either of these support article help you.

How can I get firefox to not save pdf files (such as bank statements I have looked at) to my documents and settings/temp folder?

I just realized that some (but not all pdf files that I have opened) pdf files of bank statements as well as other pdf files that I have opened when browsing with firefox have been saved to my documents and settings/temp folder. I am concerned about this for security of my data, but also confused as to why all of these documents (as well as some word documents and other types of non .tmp files) are being stored here. Please tell me how to stop this from happening.
Thank you,
Wimajeanne

I can understand that they would appear there if I have the document open, or have recently viewed it. These documents are over a month old, some are over a year old.
Also, it is not just PDF files, I also see word docs and java.exe files in this folder. None of these files have the %temp% in the title as they do when I have a particular document open, rather they are a copy of the file or document that I have saved to my data file.
My main concern is the security of information when random PDF and doc files are stored here without my knowledge.
Thank you.

No Microsoft files listed in the settings "convert into PDF files"

Hi, I wanted to convert different Microsoft Office files, but it doesn't work. There are no Microsoft files listed in the settings "convert into PDF files". I had the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on a MAC in Windows that runs trough Parallels. Hope somebody can help. Thx

Hi Rahul,
many thanks for your suggestion.
Yes, Parallels is a virtual machine on the top of MAC and I can see all files in the Windows Explorer. Also the ones I created on the MAC top with the Microsoft Office Software Word or Excel for MAC as well the ones I created earlier on a Windows PC.
Unfortunately there is no possibility to convert files into PDF format with a click on the right mouse. And Adobe also doesn't open Word documents because it doesn't support this format.
But nonetheless it wouldn't be a solution that I prefer to convert in adavance every single file in a PDF format. I need to create a PDF package from different formats.
I assume this issue has to do something with MAC or Parallels, because this function of the Adobe Versions Acrobat 8 Pro and XI Pro work well on a Windows PC. I just don't understand why there are no Microsoft Office file formats listed in the Adobe settings. This settings also can't be changed. I tried to find out but couldn't find any hint for this problem thus I'm a bit at a loss... Maybe you have another idea?
Regards
Ly

Pdf file on website won't print now. Settings?

I've not had any problems, until now, printing pdf files from many websites. However, problems have come up.
I am told I had a virus affecting some of my accounts and Systweak Advanced Systems Optimizer, my protection sofware provider, adamantly denies a virus. Anyway, they made some changes in some settings and I wonder if they may have interfered with Adobe Reader (Latest version installed.)
It seems to affect multiple websites, at least three different ones just now.
Anyway, where do I start?

Many thanks to Olderns for spending time with us and giving us remote access to his machine to debug this problem. This turned out to be a registry setting related to IE...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth = 0
This is a setting was introduced with IE8 to control how many tab processes were created. IE8 has a default algorithm (when the registry key is not present) that limits the number of tab processes based on available RAM. Separate tab processes arecreated in order to sandbox 3rd extensions, i.e. to isolate them from the main IE process and other extensions, but IE8 does not create a process per tab as IE10 does because of performance considerations that were more relevant in the IE8 timeframe. IE8 also has a 32-bit parent IE process while IE10 has a 64-bit parent process.
So, while it made some sense to tell IE8 to not create any tab processes and run everything in the parent, this does not work well in IE10 which always has a 64-bit parent process (even if you run the 32-bit version) and therefore cannot load 32-bit extensions, Reader in this case.
While we don't know how this situation came about on the user's system, we suspect that it was either caused by a virus or by a system performance tool that might have made this change to try to make IE faster, something that might have made sense for IE8 but not for IE10.
If you encounter this problem, the solution is to remove the afformentioned registry setting and then close all IE processes and restart IE. However, only make this if you are comfortable using regedit to change registry settings because some registry settings (not this one) can create serious problems on a Windows system including causing it to no longer boot. Also, I would highly recommend creating a restore point before making any changes to your registry. Do this in the System control panel > Advanced System Settings > System Protection > Create... This will give you something that works to go back to if you somehow make a fatal change to your registry.

I installed the Adobe Reader on my ipad from the app store. I bought a subscription to transfer pdf files to word, excel. No Russian language in the settings. This is very bad!

You already posted this five times; and you already have a conversation with Adobe staff going on in the ExportPDF forum.

Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
PDF files may be found under entries like Portable document or Adobe PDF document or Adobe Acrobat Document.
*Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader

Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow......

I have an email with an attachment that requires a password the open. I can open the file but embedded in the attachment is another attachment. When I double click attachment I get the following error message. Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened.

You would need to make a change to your registry; see http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AppSec/attachments.html
Basically you would need to add the .pdf with the permission 2.
Let us know if you need help with that. Either way, make sure to create a System Restore Point before editing the registry.
