.pdf File Type Extension reverts to nothing after restart

Adobe reader works correctly however after I restart the computer the Default File Type Extension resets to nothing for .pdf extensions.
I have reinstalled Adobe reader, done sfc /scannow, used a registry repair, manually changed the file extension type through windows.
Again everything works, and after I change the file extension type it will stay changed until restarting the computer then it reverts to no known file type extension and I have to right click open with.
Thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.

If you look at your PDF files with Windows Explorer (after the extension has "disappeared"), what does it show in the Type column?

CFHTTP problem - is file-type extension required

Hello,
Running CF8 on Win2003/IIS.
I have the following simple code to check a value from another server:
<cfhttp method="get" URL= "http://server.somewhere.com/websvc/util?a=doHTMLRequest&event=workgroupstat"   throwonerror="yes">
<cfset theContent = "#cfhttp.FileContent#">
<cfoutput>#theContent#</cfoutput>
I have also tried:
<cfhttp
method="get"
url="http://server.somewhere.com/websvc/util"> (with and without the ? after the word util)
<cfhttpparam name="a" type="URL" value="doHTMLRequest">
<cfhttpparam name="event" type="URL" value="workgroupstat">
</cfhttp>
The URL that is shown above returns nothing when using it within CFHTTP. If I change the URL to http://www.google.com or whatever I get the code of that page assigned to my theContent variable as expected
From a browser, the URL used in the cfhttp function above works fine. The request returns a simple HTML file with the following code from which I need to pull the agents_available data:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Agents Available</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><H2>workgroup:Chat</H2><H2>agents_available:1</H2><H2>agent s_logged_in:1</H2></BODY></HTML>
I cannot understand why I can call any other page from the internet (and our network) and put it into my theContent variable but I can't call this one. Could it be something in the structure of the URL??
I'm thinking that the CFHTTP function cannot properly format the request without the file-type extension.
Any ideas are appreciate. Regards, Jerry

Hi Ian,
I tried your suggestions. Used Firefox with FireBug and LiveHTTP Headers and nothing appears out of the ordinary except the Content-Length which is always 0. It's not being redirected. The response is 200 OK.
i.e.:
cfhttp.errorDetail:
cfhttp.text: YES
cfhttp.statusCode 200 OK
cfhttp.MIMEType Unable to determine MIME type of file.
cfhttp.header HTTP/1.1 200 OK Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=88760F22E9FA8717DE807D6F1F758E9A; Path=/websvc Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2009 17:04:37 GMT Content-Length: 0 Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
But when the URL is called directly from a browser the Content-Length is not 0. It is 148 bytes.
I'm using:
<cfset Mokrynski.PageName = "_">
<cfsetting showdebugoutput="no">

<cfhttp   method="get"   url="http://server.somewhere.com/websvc/util?a=doHTMLRequest&event=workgroupstat" />
<cfset agentCount = (cfhttp.fileContent)>
<cfoutput>#agentCount#</cfoutput>
<cfoutput> <p>cfhttp.errorDetail: #cfhttp.errorDetail#</p>
<p>cfhttp.text: #cfhttp.text#</p>
<p>cfhttp.statusCode #cfhttp.statusCode#</p>
<p>cfhttp.MIMEType #cfhttp.MIMEType#</p>
<p>cfhttp.header #cfhttp.header#</p>
</cfoutput>
Note that there are two methods I've used - 1 used commentd out in this code. If i change the url in the cfhttp function to ANYTHING else I get the expected result - goog.com, our site, cnn.com, whomever but not from this URL which clearly works from a browser.
Thanks, Jerry

How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

How can i change a pdf file type to another file type

You can copy the contents and paste it into a Word file. Just don't expect everything to transfer or to retain all of the formatting.

PDF File Type Icon Not Displaying HELP!!!

Hey guys!
I have a quick question that I need resolved. Make sure you READ before you respond as people seem to be having trouble with this one.
Something happened on my system to where .pdf files aren't displaying the PDF file type image anymore. They're just displaying the Windows default non-associated file icon.
But the weird thing is that the .pdf file type IS associated with Adobe Acrobat, and when double clicked they DO open in Acrobat.
I checked inside of Acorbat.dll and the file type icon IS in there...so this is leading me to believe that something is messed up in the registry to where Windows doesn't know to link a .pdf with the icon inside of Acrobat.dll.
So my question is this...how do I RELINK the .pdf file type with the PDF file type icon located inside of Acrobat.dll???

Before you start editing the registry try the suggestions given in the FAQ:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbc2da9
failing that try doing a repair of acrobat from the help menu.
If still no joy let us know.

I want to edit the application associated with pdf files, but the pdf file type is not available on the Applications tab under edit preferences. How do I add file types?

I am running Firefox 5.0 (Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0) under Kubuntu 11.04.

Thanks jscher2000, I tried your suggestion, but no joy (as expected). None of the extensions were .bin, and in fact, I can't find a single listing for handling the .bin extension in the entire (unfiltered) list.
That's why I'm so confused. Where is Firefox getting the name "VLC.bin (default)" from in the first place?
cor-el, I checked out the link that you posted.
I don't have an entry for "browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes" and the entry "plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types" was empty (default setting).
My bad, but I forgot to mention in my first post that I had also tried renaming the mimetypes.rdf file in my "Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxx.default\" to .old to no avail.
Firefox created a new, almost empty file, but it didn't change the behavior for .bin files. I removed the new file and put the old file back in place after determining that clearing the file did not help, since I am otherwise happy with my current file-type options.
However, since the option to "Always perform this action" is grayed-out, I am looking into the possibility that the website is sending a misconfigured MIME type or is assigning "Content-Disposition: attachment" to the download. What's odd, though, is that I've never had problems getting binary files from the site in the past, and the problem started when the VLC player was installed.
I'll post back after I check into the server header data.

PDF FILE TYPE ON HP M1319FMFP

I have recently upgraded my computer fron 32bit to 64 bit. Operating sytem Windows 7 Home premium.
Since the upgrade I can only find TIF, BMP,JPG,PNG file types to scan to and not PDF as previously. I have downloade the relevant driver after the upgrade.
Can somebody please help?
This question was solved.

Hi @plasie ,
I see by your post that you no longer have the option to save the scan as a PDF, since upgrading to Windows 7 64 bit.
I would like to help.
The drivers are a Hostbase Plug and Play drivers. There isn't a Full Feature Software driver with the extra scanning software for saving the scans to a PDF format. You would have to use a Third Party Software.
You can download a scan to PDF software, by doing a search over the internet.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

PDF File Type 'Opens with' ignored

We have systems with both Acrobat 8 and Reader 9.1 installed. On those systems, double-clicking a PDF file opens the file with Acrobat 8, even though the 'Opens with' setting under Folder Options -> File types is set to Reader 9.1. Why is our instruction being ignored? How do we make the system use Reader 9.1 to open PDF files?
Geof

If you are on a Windows machine, maybe this is one of the reasons why it is recommended not to install both Acrobat and Reader in the same computer.

I have Acrobat 8 standard, I can not create PDF file any more. It stopps after 10%. This is happen after I have trayed Acrobat IX prof. demo. I have unstalled and reinnstalled Acrobat 8, the same problem are there. Can sombody help me.

Problem to make PDF file, stopps after 10%?

Hey Tom,
Could you please tell me how have you been trying to create PDFs.
What exact error pops up on your screen when it stops after 10%?
Please specify more on what you mean by saying 'trayed Acrobat IX prof.demo' as I need to analyze what exactly is the trouble.
Hope to get your response.

Photosmart C5580: PDF File type option has disappeared from Scan Shortcut Settings under Documents

For 6 years I have used PDF as the file type for scanning documents. Yesterday it switched to TIFF. This creates files of ~8.5 MB per scanned page.
The PDF option does no longer show in the dropdown menu. Remaining options are:
Bitmap, TIFF, TIFF Compressed, JPEG, GIF, PNG, PCX and FlashPix.
How do I get PDF back on the list.
I run Vista Home Premium

Hi @vliegendeboer ,
I see that you are having issues with the PDF option missing from the scanning software. I would like to help.
In the HP Solution Center Software, select the option to change settings, select Save to File Save Options, on the File Type, try and select PDF and press OK. I don't have the exact Version 12 software you are using to go by, but the steps should be similiar.
If you are still not able to select PDF ,download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it.Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
If there was any updates recently done on the computer, you can restore your computer back to before everything was working properly. How To Use System Restore in Windows Vista.
If you are still having issues, the software might have become corrupted. Uninstall and reinstall the printer software.

No ability to create PDF Files using Acrobat 6.01_6.06 after installing Word 2010. (Windows XP)

Since installing Word 2010 (upgrading from Word 2003) there are no visable PDF Icons nor ability to create PDF Files using Adobe Acrobat 6.06. Operating system is Windows XP. Browser is IE8. Various attempts to bypass this situation have not been successful. No problems had been experienced earlier using Acrobat 6.01 through 6.06 with Word 2003 and earlier Word versions during the passed 10 years or so. Adobe's support is not responding to recognize mentioned situations, nor is there any a solution to fix the problem. Low volume small businesses,with limited need to create PDF files, are being considerably burdened to substante a $200 investment to upgrade to Acrobat X, which may as well not be the solution. It is appealed for Adobe Forums readers to share similar experiences with possible fixes at hand. Responses will be greatly appreciated. Thank you...

Your response is greatly appreciated, Bernd...
Unfortunately, those of us who milk software packages for eons such as
Acrobat 6.06 Standard, a full version of Acrobat X is quoted to be $299
with no ability to upgrade since 7.0 is the cutoff which remains to be
only $139.
It seems to me, Military personal, retired or just ole toots who did
their think, would offer considerations such as Staples, Lowe's, and
other big boxes offer. Such is greed for some who do not consider
alternatives above their noses...

Can I exclude files types (extensions) or Import only specific Types?

Hello,
I am trying to import thousands of pictures into Lightroom as I have a mess of pictures do to a long story...But basically I have probably 30,000 pictures in a bunch of folders that I want to import.
One issue I have found is that I don't want to import TIFF, BMP, GIF, or things like PNG. I really only want jpg files or jpeg files unless I stumble across others in another format I haven't found yet.
Can I set something during the import? I have searched the forums and internet, but haven't found anything that mentions this.
Can someone please help? Also does anyone have a good suggestion on how to clean up a mess like this where I have 30,000 pictures but probably only need 10,000 as there are duplicates upon duplicates due to having to move the pictures around in a hurry as I had a mess in my basement during a storm a couple years ago.
Thanks,
Evee

You can't do it at import, although LR will skip any unsupported file types (BMP, GIF, PNG). Once you've imported though, you can easily filter for the TIFFs and remove those from the catalog without deleting from the hard drive.
Are you wanting to move the LR photos into their own folder structure at the same time, or leave them where they are?

File adapter: file_name with counter, stable after restart J2EE

Hello guys,
we are on XI 7.0.
in a receiver file channel we have to create file names with a stable counter (7digits).
The payload is IDOC flat file after ABAP mapping (not XML format).
The bad thing with the counter is that it is not stable. After restart of J2EE engine the counter starts again more or less
from the beginning (also described in a FAQ OSS note).
Does anybody have an idea how we could realize a stable counter for file names that also increases the counter after restart of J2EE. Is individual programming necessary? module ?
We thought about SAP number ranges (DB) but how to integrate this in the file channel. Also generating the the number in ERP and send it in the IDOC to XI, but after the ABAP mapping to IDOC flat file we cannot use the payload for variable replacement.
Every help is appreciated
best regards
Hans

Hello Georg,
You can achieve this by developing a Customized adapter module,
Try to maintain the counter in one of the temporary file in the XI system, read the counter number from the temporary file and increment the counter by 1.
rename the receiver filename with the sufix as counter.
replace the counter number in the temporary file with the latest counter number i.e increment by '1'.
regards,
Chandra Shekhar

Snow leopard upgrade nothing after restart

I am upgrading from OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard) to OSC 10.6(Snow Leopard). When I start the install, everything looks fine, there are no error messages and after about 15 minutes I get the message "Setup will continue after restart" or something similar. When the computer restarts, nothing happens. I've tried this 4 times now and it's really starting to be a pain.
What could be wrong?

You are certain your Mac meets Snow Leopard v10.6 requirements?
If that isn't the issue, boot from your install disc and run Disk Utility
The startup disk may need repairing before you can upgrade to Snow Leopard.
