PDF file cannot be viewed from OA Framework page.

Hi all,
I have developed an OA Framework page which shall present an XMLP report in pdf within the browser.
When I click on my menu item which opens the oa page, the Open file.. diaglog appears. When I open or save the file (and thereafter opening if) the following error appears: _Acrobat could not open [filename] because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged._
I can open the file if I go to the server and copies the output file to my own machine.
The error that i'm describing is happening on the server and NOT in my development environment. I cannot get it to work at all on my own machine.

"This file cannot be viewed on mobile devices."

Hi Acrobat.com,
"This file cannot be viewed on mobile devices."
I'm wondering why some of my files online aren't "viewable" with an iPhone (3Gs) and other files are readable.
I noticed that files created (New) on Acrobat.com will not be displayed on the iPhone
while files created on the workstation (Apple) work fine (on both platforms).
Please, please, please, help me.
PS: I searched the forum for an answer or similar post,
without success. May be I din't use the right keywords ; - )

Hi there,
Thanks for posting; I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the Acrobat.com mobile app. The error message that you're seeing (thanks for the screenshot here, very helpful) indicates that the file you're trying to open is not a PDF; the message will appear when you try to open a Buzzword document, for example, or some other filetype that can't be previewed on the iPhone app. We're doing our best to improve the quality of our mobile app, so keep the feedback coming - you can help us by suggesting your ideas for improvements or enhancements at our Ideas site:
http://ideas.acrobat.com
We get a lot of our inspiration from the ideas that users post there, so I encourage you to participate.
Please let me know if you need any more information or assistance.
Best regards,
Rebecca

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

Saving as a PDF file for some users have been a problem. If you boot into Safe Mode and run iPhoto you can create undamaged PDF files. We don't know why the problem but this is a workaround.
This problem prevents many from ordering books, calendars and cards since iPhoto creates PDF file of them for uploading and printing. Booting into Safe Mode lets them successfully order those items.

Download PDF files instead of viewing them within Safari?

I would like to automatically download PDF files instead of having to view them within Safari.
I have disabled Acrobat as the default reader and now Safari has switched to using Preview. However, I cannot find a way to also disable Preview to allow the PDF file to be downloaded instead of displayed within a Safari window.
Anyone have any ideas on how to do this seemingly simple task?

It's amazing to me that simply asking Safari to default to auto download a PDF is so arcane. It's incredible that Apple doesn't have a Safari preference for this very simple action!
The Terminal and Onyx methods recommended above are just ways of accessing a setting for Safari that Apple hasn't added to Safari Preferences. As I understand it, settings like this are built into Safari - they just aren't readily user-accessible. This is why programs like Onyx and Safari Enhancer exist, to open up "hidden" features and settings.
I imagine Apple's developers debate these things, trying to decide what would be simpler to leave out to avoid complexity and what confusion (but allow third-party or Terminal methods to access) and which would be better added to the regular Preferences settings.
Since this is a feature you'd like to see in Safari Preferences, I'd recommend submitting this as feedback to Apple.
In the meantime, though, I'd consider it a good thing that there are built-in ways to get the setting that you prefer. Personally, I don't find the default settings such a hindrance. They're intended to help the "average" user (the new Mac user, the non-technical user, etc.) who wants a PDF file to just open, without having to understand how to work with it. For the more savvy user, there are multiple methods of downloading and/or opening PDFs. I'm rather like you - I prefer to download PDFs (in which case I use the Control-click method if I notice the link is to a PDF) or sometimes I allow the PDF to open in Safari, then Control-click on the open PDF and choose the option to open in Acrobat Reader. I find the latter method even smoother than downloading and then opening, in fact. If I decide it's a file I want to keep, I save it to my hard drive; otherwise I just close it.

Opening a PDF file in 100% view.

I need to know how to change the view when opening up a PDF file. Everytime I open a file it opens in 200% view.
How do I get them to always open in 100% view?

Every time I close and reopen Acrobat X my custom Page Layout and Zoom settings are reset to "Automatic." The issue is how to save these settings so they remain, permanently, unless and until I change them. Clicking "OK" in the preferences box does not do the trick, at least for me. I just want all documents to open at my preferred zoom setting. This seems so elementary. I'm running WIndows 7 Professional.

PDF file doesn't view properly in firefox & favicon doesn't show in Safari

I've got three issues I could use some advice with.
1. I used some iFrame code generously posted by Oldtoad that allows a pdf file in an IFrame. It works beautifully in Safari. here's an example: http://web.mac.com/phelpssculpture/Site/resumeone_page_DavidPhelps.html
but in Firefox it only opens as a dialog box asking what I want to do with the file (download, etc)
Is there any way to make this view properly in Firefox?
2. I've gone through the process to have a favicon in the address box (ico file uploaded with iTweak) and this views great with Firefox, but nothing in Safari (not sure about others) I've deleted the WebpageIcons.db file repeatedly, emptied cache, deleted all my bookmarks for the site, etc.
Anyone know how to make this work in Safari?
3. I recently updated my site (from iWeb 06) using iWeb 08 and published. A lot of search links got broken. I created a new sitemap (verified by google) and now, no matter what page a search refers to, when you click on it, only my home page opens. Did I do something wrong? It used to be that if a search pointed to a certain page, clicking that result took you directly to that page.
Any suggestions for these problems would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, David

Old Toad:
I finally got it! the favicon works now at: http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture
Your Instructions at:http://toadstutorials.info/ #22 did the trick.
One problem I had with TextWrangle was I was doing a search and replace for <head><meta and it wasn't working. What I figured out was that there was other code on the line after <head><meta which was preventing the new code from working. I did a minor adjustment on each page in iWeb to force it to republish each page. That made the <head><meta line consistent on each page, then I selected the entire line and replaced it as per your instructions. It worked great. My experience was that iTweak did not process the code properly and was very slow, but this process was great.
Thank you for all your help. Sincerely, David

PDF file on my view

I want attach my PDF file on my web dynpro view
I have read in this forum about my problem the using of IFrame element but don't work.
Please help me, thanks

I guess you could avoid such problems using mapping. Here's some example code, modified from an example:
// Original code from 'Thinking in Java, 3rd ed.' (c) Bruce Eckel 2002
// www.BruceEckel.com. See copyright notice in CopyRight.txt.
import java.io.RandomAccessFile;
import java.nio.MappedByteBuffer;
import java.nio.channels.FileChannel;
static int length = 0x8FFFFFF; // 128 Mb
public static void mapThis (String file) throws Exception {
    MappedByteBuffer out = new RandomAccessFile(file, "rw")
        .getChannel().map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_WRITE, 0, length);
    byte b;
    if(!out.isLoaded()) out.load();
     for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
         b = out.get(i);
         manipulate(b);
As for Bertram's solution, couldn't get it to work properly in a dynamic use case - I'm getting the input stream from IResource, and I get a ClassCastException everytime I use something different from InputStream. With that problem comes another one: InputStream.read() consuming the first byte from the file, which is a problem when dealing with PDF and DOC files, for example. Since I know the users are opening PDF files, made a quick-and-dirty workaround by inserting manually the missing byte. Really dirty one, actually - the byte changes with the file format. Below is the code I used - it works, but I'd love to see a different workaround.
public void openFile( )
    //@@begin openFile()
        //KM files are shown in a table
        //get index of selected table row
     int i = wdContext.nodeTableContent().getLeadSelection();

Some pdf files cannot be read by eReaders other than Acrobat

I have several books in pdf format. All, including the attached, read perfectly in Acrobat and all, except the attached, read perfectly in various eReaders. The attached file, however, cannot be read by any reader other than Acrobat and cannot be imported into Calibre and converted to any other format.
What is unique about this file?
I can not find any way to attach the file. Please post instructions.
Using Windows 8, Adobe Reader X 10.1.8,

You cannot attach PDF files to the forum, only images (e.g. screen shots) and not at all in an email reply.
To share a PDF put it on acrobat.com, your own web site, or a file sharing site, and reply with the URL.
What does Adobe Reader X say for Document Security (under File > Properties)? The SECURITY METHOD is the key information. You are quite correct that some PDF files use security methods which lock them to Acrobat.

PDF file cannot be previewed.

I have uploaded one pdf file on acrobat.com to embed same pdf
file in my website so visitor can see pdf file into browser.
But after uploading pdf file, i m getting following message.
"This file cannot be previewed. Please download it instead."
How i can resolve this ?
Your given reply/comments are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello GS/krishinc,
What you're seeing is expected behavior, depending on what is
inside the .pdf.
PDF's have many different functionalities, and capabilities,
and not all of them are available through the simple preview that
acrobat.com's preview supplies.
If your PDF has some features, or pages that the Acrobat.com
simple preview doesn't support, then it will suggest you download
the file.
Options are to leave it as it is and have it as a
downloadable pdf, or to remove some of the advanced pdf features
within the PDF document before sharing it.
Hope this helps out, if not please give more information
about the PDF file you're sharing, and perhaps private messaging me
the link to the share.
Thanks!
Pete

Acrobat 8, pdf file cannot be OCR

I have a pdf file 11x17, that is an image but when I try to run OCR and highlight, I keep getting the same message. I dont have this problem with 8 1/2 x 14. How to remedy?

Hello krishinc,
Thanks for your posting.
What you're able to able to embed into your website, is the
PDF preview that Acrobat.com is able to make. Not every PDF is able
to have a preview created for it.
In the event that we are unable to create a preview that
particular PDF file, the option to download it will be presented,
so that the end user can view it with their PDF viewer.
If you are the creator of this PDF, then perhaps simplifying
the contents of the PDF will allow us to create a visible preview
of the file.
Hope this helps!
Good luck,
Pete

PDF file cannot be repaird

I cannot open downloaded PDF files even from trusted sources. The message says: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. This is a fairly recent development.

Okay, I've seen this. It's Safari too, I know, based on the symptoms. There's good news and bad news.
Start with the bad news: As the error message says, the PDF(s) is/are damaged and it CANNOT be repaired. It/they was/were corrupted during the download.
Now the good news: While the file(s) can't be fixed, this CAN be prevented going forward.
Download the offline installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ - DO NOT RUN IT YET - Save it only
Quit Safari
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin file
Trash the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin file
Empty the trash
Reboot
Mount the downloaded DMG and reinstall Reader
Relaunch Safari and redownload the PDF(s) in question.
They should open with no errors now.
