PDF files not showing in Safari Windows

When clicking on a link to a pdf file (example: <a href = 'xxx.pdf'>
I get a blank window.
Have Acrobat Pro, latest version installed.
Is there a special process to install it in Safari? (Windows)
Note: there is a Plugins folder in the Safari app folder, but inside it there iare only two Java plugins.
Maybe the reader is not installed in Safari, if not, how would I install the reader for Safari Windows only?

PDF file not showing correctly in Preview or other apps

Hi,
I've trying to find an answer to my question for some time now on the internet, but couldn't find it anywhere. When I open a pdf file from someone who created it using Windows diagrams that are supposed to be Matrices are not showing properly. Most probably the matrices were created using the equation builder in MOffice.
<-- this is supposed to be a matrix
There is also a problem with showing symbols like subscripted or superscripted letters (Arrows represent superscripted or subscripted letters, either up or down):
And for some reason, when I try to quicklook the file, some pages are displayed incorrectly - only showing a quarter of the page:
Any help on this? Is there some sort of an update to solve this problem, or should I download additional fonts??
I am using a Macbook Alu from 2008 with OS X Maverick installed - all latest updates are installed.. (However the same problem appeared when using an iPad)
Thanks a lot i advance!

Hi Carolyn,
I looked at your file and it seems the problem is with the resolution. The design is great but the resolution was too low.
Fortunately your Apple Smart Object was high resolution so I was able to increase the resolution of the file as it is. You will need to replace the Bar Code and possibly the little flower on the back cover with high res versions.
In the future you need to start with the document being sized right and the resolution at 300 ppi. Make sure your graphics are high resolution from the start as well. You can't regain resolution that was left out, although using High Resolution Smart Objects can give you the the latitude you need to size back up.
After I sent the file I looked closely at the font. The one font you used does have zaggies but it's supposed to. Bradley Hand ITC TT is kind of a rough font around the edges by design. If this is what seems to be the problem, you will need to change to another font. Still, the file needed to be higher resolution.
I sent one back to you in high res. All you need to do is replace the bar code and the little flower with high res version. The apple graphic smart object was high enough.

Imbedded link to downloadable .PDF file not working in Safari

Two questions:
I imbedded a text link that is supposed to download a .PDF file from my iDisk. However, when I click the text link from my Safari browser I get this error message:
"“A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?”
When I retry by pasting my iWeb published page into Mozilla, the linked file downloads quickly with no problem. However, when I paste it into Internet Explorer's browser, it takes about 4 minutes to download!
Second question: I can't seem to link an image that I inserted on a "My Photos" template page. There is no way to select the image--when I do, it just shows the "blue box" around the image but it doesn't actually select the image itself so I can link it.
I was able to link images in my .Mac pages so I don't know why I can't on iWeb.
If anyone wants to try it, here is the link to that page. ONLY CLICK ON THE BERMUDA AMEX TRAVEL PLANNER TEXT as that is the only link I've imbedded thus far. This page is obviously still under construction.

This is correct, you cannot make the image holders hyperlinks. The solution is to put a Shape over the top of the image that you want to be a link, then Opn Inspector, Graphic Link and make the Opacity 1%, no more no less. Then make this shape a link. Beware that this image will still display in a slideshow and if you insert more images and it moves, the shape will not move with it.
You may also want to click on the shape and then go Arrange > Bring to Front.

PDF file not showing context

After upgrading to ML I have recived a PDF that if I open with Preview only shows me part of the info (layout tables and bullets) but the text does not show!
The text works for the windows users and I can see it in OmniGraffle.
Anyone an idea what's wrong?
Is it the PDF (i.e. the user who made it) or has it got to do with limitations within preview?
Kind regards,
Dani

Please post a sample of the PDF file itself. If you are not embedding the font in the PDF file, but the PDF file doesn't properly provide the font's name, this symptom will occur. Give as a link to the file and we'll take a look at if for you.

Why do changes to a .pdf file not show up in iBooks?

I have a number of important and useful documents in .pdf format that are stored in iBooks on my iPad. I added a new document to the iTunes library and then synced the iPad. Voila! The new document showed up in the PDFs section of the iBooks collections. Then, I recognized that I needed to update some information in the document, so I opened the original (on my Mac) in Adobe Acrobat and added a few comments using the Typewriter tool. I then reimported it to the library in iTunes, then synced the iPad again. My added material was not in the document as it appeared in iBooks. OK, I deleted it from iTunes, synced the iPad again and the file was gone from iBooks, as I intended. I then reimported the new file with the added material into the iTunes library and synced again. The file still did not show my added material. I can look at the file in iTunes, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, even Preview and the file looks fine. I even changed the file name. The only place it does not look right is in iBooks. I can print it in any of the aforementioned applications and it looks fine. I suppose I could print it, scan it and then import it to iTunes yet again, but that seems to be kind of a stupid workaround.
I have done everything I can possibly think of. I have deleted the file from iBooks on the iPad, then deleted the file from iTunes, restarted, burrowed into the iTunes Library file (Users->myname->Music->iTunes->iTunes Music->Books->filename) and deleted the file directly from there and then emptied the Trash, restarted the iPad after deleting the file from iBooks, tried adding the information as a text box in Acrobat (instead of using the Typewriter), I've shaken my fist repeatedly, burned some white sage, even considered throwing my iPad across the room.
In desperation, I finally printed and scanned the page I needed, then opened the original file in Acrobat, added the new page and deleted the old one. Then, I reimported the file into iTunes and synced the iPad. Now I have what I need with the same file name as before. It's actually the same file, just modified by swapping pages. But, why in the **** can I not just add what I want to that particular page using Acrobat and then reimport that?
I am not a newbie. I still have my old Mac Plus out in the garage. I use Acrobat, Photoshop, Bridge and InDesign on a regular basis, so I am no stranger to Adobe products. Am I missing something? Something unbelievably simple?
(OK, deep, cleansing yoga breath...)
Even though I found a workaround, I'd still like to know why I couldn't do what I wanted to do.

Thanks, Demo, I'll give that a shot. On the other hand, I really don't want to have some files in iBooks and other ones in Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader will let me organize them in folders, it might be a great solution.
However, there's no ".pdf management" involved here. It's simply "Read the #%€\#^% .pdf file I gave you" and there is nothing to "manage". Whatever opinions Apple has about Adobe, .pdf is a fact of life and should not require any handstands and backsprings just to read a file. (Are you listening, Apple?) I refinanced my home with .pdf files; print it, sign it, scan it, e-mail it back. (OK, calm down, it'll be all right... Sigh...)
Whatever the result, I'll report back.
Thanks again.

.png file not showing up on windows VM

Hello,
I have users who are having issues seeing .png files when using a windows VM. This is a windows environment. The business partner is using a Mac pro and creates the .png file in creative suite and saves the file to a windows 2008 server. When they try to insert the file into a powerpoint on their Windows 7 VM, they cannot find the file. It shows up about 10-15 mins later. But they can access it from the Mac right away. We are running Extremez IP on the server. Is this a known issue with this OS/macs in windows environment/extremez IP?

I was able to get to the console one time and it went to a blue screen saying that if i recently installed anything try to uninstall it and so on. The error was something like 0x000007B and some other numbers. I was able to boot into last know good configuration and then I uninstalled the PV drivers and it has been working fine since I uninstalled the PV drivers. However my issue with the disk not showing up is still an issue. Thanks.You need to log an SR with Oracle Support for this.

,pdf files not showing in iTunes podcast

I have always successfully included .pdf files as accompanying notes for my students' enhanced podcasts. It's always worked very smoothly and well - up to Feb 2009. Since then this function has ceased to be successful. I have had to create a separate page in my iWeb site for downloading .pdf files. Its a real pain for students as they can't get thei9r notes simultaneously with the podcast lecture. Can anyone please advise? Thanks

I am having the same problem with iWeb. This feature used to work. I confirmed that this is not an iTunes issue because I am successfully posting PDF files from another podcast publishing tool and it shows up as intended fine iTunes.

Images on a pdf file not showing on iPad

I received an email with an attached PDF file. When I open the 250 kb PDF file with 7 pages I do not see any of the images on the document, If I open the same PDF file on my Mac the images are on the document. I have tried opening this PDF file on my iPad by just pressing on the attachment icon and holding my finger on the attachment icon and then selecting Quick Look and "Open with" PDFReader Pro and GoodReader (both apps on my iPad). None of these options show the images

I'm having a similar issue. I have a PDF form for clients to fill out on the iPad that they submit and goes to my email. Well when I check the email on a mobile device (iPhone 4 or iPad 2) the PDF is there but all the fields are blank! If I check the same email from my desktop or lap top the fields are filled in! I can't figure it out, anyone please help:)

Make sure your server has the correct MIME type for PDFs.

PDF page not showing in browser window in Safari

When I click on a pdf link while in Safari browser, for instance "download full equipment list", I get a blank page. I have downloaded the latest PDF Flash Player. I am using Safari 4.0.3. I use OS 10.5. I didn't have this problem before 10.5. I don't use this very much, so I do not know what the precipitating event could have been. This does not happen when I use Firefox (but I am not fond of Firefox).

Thank you for the replies.
I downloaded the Flash PDF Player because it was a suggestion as to why I may not be able to access PDF documents through Safari. Removing it is irrelevant at this point since the problem was occurring before I downloaded the Flash PDF Player.
My guess is that it has to do with Safar. As I mentioned, I do not have this problem with Firefox.
Any suggestions?

Files not showing up in Windows 7 Search

Hi everyone. I'm having trouble with Windows Search on my Windows 7 Home Premium.
Through the start menu search box, I can find some but not all files. Programs almost always show up, but it's very hit or miss on files for music, documents, photos, or email messages (Windows Live Mail). It seems like it's more likely to show up if
I have recently modified the file. Also, in Windows Explorer while browsing files I can see the files in the window but if I type the name into the search box in the corner, it says that file doesn't exist in the folder, which makes no sense because it is
obviously right there.
So far, I've run the Searching And Indexing Troubleshooter and rebuilt my search indexes multiple times. It says I have 874 items indexed. Is that number particularily high or low? I don't really know, as it may be the source of my problems. Both of
these solutions haven't yielded any results. Any help would be great!

Hi,
Based on my research,
I suggest you perform the following steps.
1. Rebuild Windows Search to index via the following article:
force Windows
Search to index
2. Type “services.msc” in Search box and press Enter. Double click Windows Search service and click Stop. Then, please restart the service and assure
the Startup Type is Automatic.
3. Perform a
Clean Boot to check the result.
For more information, please also refer to the link below:

If certain file still cannot be located in Windows Search, please let me know the detail file type, such as MP3 files or other files.
Thanks,
Novak
