PDF files aren't working

As I place PDF files on this site, MANY are not loading when clicked on. Could it be the name of the PDF, like: Grason Stadler.pdf VS Grason_Stadler.pdf? It's puzzling to me. Any help would be WELCOME!
Thanks

When I place my mouse pointer over any of the three graphics on your web page, the pop-up text box shows that your files are located at file:/localhost/filename. To me, this is an indication that your files are still located on your hard drive, and this may be the reason why they are not downloading.
If you are using a hosting service other then MobileMe, you should have a public_ftp folder available to you. Try uploading via FTP your files to that folder on your host's server, and create links on your graphics pointing to that location. That may be the answer to your problem.

Disappearing PDF file after saving work in Acrobat Pro 9?

I use Acrobat Pro 9 to do markups. Some of the files may be as large as 2,000 pages. At various points, I save my work. Sometimes, however, I save my work, close the program. I come back later and discover that the PDF file that I working seems to have vanished. It's not in Recyle Bin and searching for it, does not bring it up. There isn't even an icon. When this happens, all that remains are aabxxx 's in Recent Places. Sometimes if I am lucky, I can somehow generate another PDF file. Sometimes not.
I know that it is possible I could strike the wrong key and not save my work. But this has happened often where that something else be the reason.. I have looked for solutions to this problem in the past and have not been able to find any. I currently am using Windows 7 with IE9
Any ideas? Thanks.

Thank you for your help and suggestions. I put in the browser info, but I wasn't sure if that would be helpful. I have a lot of problems with IE9 and using Microsoft Word and Excel.. MS Office 2010 is 64-bit. The version of Windows 7 I have is 64-bit. What happened is that I began working for this one publisher, AA9 was the version in use and that was I was instructed to use It was also just before the release of AAX.
Do you think that the 32-bit/64-bit difference is what could be causing the issue?
I put off going to a new version because of the cost and the fact that I wouldn't have time to learn the current version. I have a lot of projects right now and scheduling is tight.

Standalone PDF file system not working correctly

I have built a website http://greatayton.wikidot.com/ where one PDF Menu file calls up lots of other PDF files.
I now want to use the same menu system to call PDF files on a PC hard disk with the Internet turned off.
I used hyperlinks to link from the PDF Meny to the PDF files.
This works but first calls up Internet Explorer then displays the actual file which makes the operation slow and unweildy.
How do I just get the hyperlinks to call up the PDF files?
Thanks
Mike

I have bought Adobe Acrobat X Standard & now works

Will file converting pdf file to excel work with Adobe Reader 10.1, Windows 7 platform?

Will file converting pdf file to excel work with Adobe Reader 10.1, Windows 7 platform? It shows that it is available for purchase but does it perform? Will this work only with Reader XI? Is the conversion done on-line?

The file is uploaded to the web for conversion. You can manually upload pdfs for conversion with your web browser and/or with Reader 10.1.

Link in pdf-file does not work on Ipad

With my site www.bartkuijer.nl I offer visitors the free possibility to see (and download) sheetmusic, from music written by me. These are pdf-files. But they can not only SEE the sheetmusic; the music on that pdf-files can also be PLAYED. That's done bij clicking on a link in that pdf-file to a mp3-file of the music on my site.
This works fine on a pc. When I try this on the Ipad of my wife it DOES NOT WORK!
So my question is: how come? And what to do to make this work also fine on an Ipad.
This is important for me, because I want this sheetmusic to place as Ipad-apps for free.

It works!
But not with a pdf-file. The Ipad does not recognize links in a pdf-file.
Te solution is found by making a htm-file with emdedding a quicktime-player and images of the music. This is my first Ipad product. On a pc the player starts immediately; on the Ipad it has to be started.
Now I have to work on a solution to change this to an app

Request forward with a PDF file is not working in 8.1 SP2?

          Hi,
          I have a servlet that forwards the request to a pdf file. The code works fine
          in WL61. However when I ran the servlet in WL8.1SP2, all I get is a blank page.
          However, instead of PDF I forward the request to a text file, it works fine in
          both weblogic versions.
          Any help willbe greatly appreciated. Code sample below.
          Thanx
          String file_path = my_path + "\\test.pdf";
          RequestDispatcher d = req.getRequestDispatcher(file_path);
          d.forward(req, resp);


I tried the simple thing on 8.1sp3 and it works..
          public void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException{
          req.getRequestDispatcher("/AntIdea.pdf").forward(req, res);
          My WAR looks like the following
          WEB-INF
          WEB-INF/web.xml
          WEB-INF/classes/ForwardServlet.java
          AntIdea.pdf

DMS Connector to Portal Issue PDF files does not work

I have a general issue regarding PDF files from DMS, these files are all defect when opened through the portal (works fine through backend access), but other document types works fine (like .doc;.ppt, *.xsl etc..).
It is possible to download the file to your local pc, but still the same error occurs.
When Adobe Reader opens a info box shows The file is damaged and could not be repaired.
I have tried to update Acrobat Reader without any luck.
Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance

I will never understand why but in the end I rebuilt my 32 bit dell laptop from scratch and the pdf files can now be searched.
I cannot search them on a mapped drive as I was able to with Windows XP because now they must be indexed and windows 7 will seems not to allow a mapped location to be indexed which must be done to make the pdf files searchable so I have had to move the files to the local drive.
My Windows 7 64 bit systems can search the mapped drives just fine without needing to be indexed. Again I will never understand why this works and the 32 bit machine does not.

Windows 7 32 bit search of PDF files does not work

I have installed Windows 7 on a 32 bit Dell Laptop and I can no longer search the content of my PDF files using Microsoft's search in Windows Explorer which I need to do. I’ve tried following the advice listed on several sites on line and nothing seems to work. My 64bit processor required a download of Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms and those systems work fine. All the write-ups suggest that Reader XI for 32 bit Windows 7 has the filter built in and Microsoft indexing indicates it is there but I still can't search for words in a PDF like I could using Windows XP.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for any help.

Getting PDF files doesn't work on Windows 7?

Hi,
I had a working installation of Adobe Output Central v5.5 on a Windows 2000 machine. I then tried to move it to Windows 7 because we want to change the hardare.
I set up all programs to run as Windows 2000 under windows 7 (this is something you can decide with the standard functionalities of Windows 7) and all works, BUT, if I try to generate a PDF document I get the famous error [Invalid printer type (98)].
I use the -asppdf command line parameter to force PDF output and the PDF presentment target is compiled into the MDF file.
98 is the number that you can read in the "Printer Type" parameter in the pdf.ics file.
If I comment out that line in the ICS file, the PDF file is produced, but it's corrupted, so it's not readable with any PDF reader.
Any idea?
Manyt thanks in advance.

Have you tested an external mouse as I already suggested?
You can try to install Value Added Package for another Portege series notebook. Just search a little bit on the Toshiba website.
In worst case you have to restore factory settings (preinstalled OS). There should the mouse working properly.

Create- combine multiple pdf files has stopped working? Adobe Acrobat Pro on Mac

Hi It's my first time on this forum. I'm a regular user of the create pdf by combining multiple pdfs. It always works no questions asked, but just a few days ago when I'd click on create and select Combine files into a single pdf nothing happens. Usually a pop up would let me identify the files to combine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Anne,
If all you need to do is combine the PDFs, and Acrobat continues to give you problems, you can have a go at the free program PDF Split and Merge. You will need Java installed on your computer to run it (Java apps run on all systems -- Mac, Windows and Linux, and mobile systems like Android and iOS). Acrobat hangs for me sometimes when trying to combine multiple PDFs, especially if the individual PDFs are of considerable file size. PDF "Sam" works fine for me when Acrobat won't. It also uses less memory and resources than mighty Acrobat, on my RAM-challenged (Windows) machine. As stated above, PDF Sam is a Java program, so it should work also on Mac. There are also system-specific downloads available on the author's web page.
Have a look-see at PDF Split and Merge at pdfsam.org/download (Go to "Other Platforms and Versions" to find the Mac-specific version).
Download Java (if it's not installed!) at java.com (Go to java.com/download/manual.jsp and scroll down for Mac OS X). *Java 7 requires at least Mac OS 10.7.3 to install; check "About This Mac" at Apple menu -> About This Mac... to see your system version.
Good luck

Interactive button in PDF file doesn't work with Adobe Reader for Mac nor Acrobat Pro

Hello!
I've to use a interactive form which has an interactive button that is supposed to send that form by email. If I open that PDF with my iPhone or iPad with the PDF Expert App, it works perfectly, but for any strange reason, when I try to open that same PDF in my Mac with Adobe Reader or Acrobat pro, that button doesn't do anything.
Can this be a configuration error?
Thanks!

The problem is deeper than that. It's not reader. Now the same form I was creating in LifeCycle Designer ES2 yesterday, with the actions working perfectly, no longer work. None of the actions are working.
Could it be realted to me trying to set the default version compatibility to Adobe 7. It gave me warnings, so I set it back to 9.
Any help would be appreciated.

PDF FILE WILL NOT WORK OR OPEN ADOBE READER NOT WORKING CORRECTLY.

PDF FILE WILL NOT OPEN IN A FEW APPLICATIONS AS THEY DID BEFORE. IF I CAN'T VIEW THEM I CAN'T PRINT THEM.

Hi
Why wouldn't an Apple file D/L into an Apple browser?
Likely due there being a non-Apple plugin trying to handle it & failing.
Look in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ for any plugins with 'pdf' in the name.
Remove any you find - either trash or take to the desktop, restart any browsers, then try a pdf.

Embedded PDF files don't work in viewer

We embed PDF files on our web pages using the following code:
<iframe src = "URL" width = "100%" height = "800px" style="z-index:1000;"></iframe>

When I use Acrobat Pro XI to create the PDF file the web page brings up a typical download prompt. When my coworker uses Acrobat Pro XI her file opens cleanly (she creates it on her computer, but both times I'm viewing the web page on my computer/my browser). Happens in all browsers. [ link removed by moderator ]
We both follow the same steps to create the file: File > Open > select file. Then Tools > Action Wizard >Optimize for Web and Mobile.
We assume there is some setting Acrobat Pro that's different between our two computers but for the life of us can't figure out what. If anyone has any ideas we'd love to hear them.
Thanks.

Then why do the pdfs render differently in the viewer (or not at all) if the browser is the same, the plugin settings are the same, and the HTTP headers sent by the website are the same?
Examples:
My PDF file:
Same code, same browser, coworker's PDF file:

CP8 - WebObjects (link to http or pdf file) doesn't work on LMS

Hi,
Integrate an http link or pdf using WebObjects work well in preview. But once exported to scorm and integrated into an LMS, nothing appears.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Are these local files? I had lots of trouble getting the new webobject to work in captivate 8 when inserted with the 'objects' menu.
I had better luck when inserting the old interaction->learning interaction->web object

Illustrator extention export PDF file as PSD worked on Windows XP but not on Windows 7

We have a extension that convert files to CMYK PSD with color profile attached. It worked fine (for most of files) on Windows XP but not on Windows 7.
var expOpt: ExportOptionsPhotoshop = new ExportOptionsPhotoshop();
expOpt.resolution = 300;
expOpt.imageColorSpace = ImageColorSpace.CMYK;
expOpt.embedICCProfile = true;
doc.exportFile( psdFile, ExportType.PHOTOSHOP, expOpt );
above code never throw any exception on Windows7, but just no file been saved. It only happened to convert PDF to PSD.
If I manually open file in Illustrator (win7) and export it as PSD, I got ‘not enough memory’ error. I googled a solution make the manual exporting worked but still the extension didn’t work.
The solution for manual operation is set ‘additional plug-in folder’ for preferences-> plug-ins& Scratch disks’.
Any advice?
Thanks!
Ling

I apologize for not having an answer. I just wanted to chime in and say that I am having the exact same issue. I have never had this before. It's happened ever since I had my hard drive replaced and Illustrator has been reinstalled, so I am assuming that it's a preference somewhere that I have missed?
