PDF index not working on iBooks

I have several pdf textbooks I read on ibooks. They all have an index (both the multiimage one and the 'clickable' list one that you can access at the top right hand corner of the ipad screen). One of them doesnt show the clickable list index, even though it show the multi image one. I have tried this same pdf book in other reading apps and it does display an index (goodreader, kindle, nook). I enjoy ibooks more than those apps for many reasons and would like this book to work on here as well. Any thoughts? Thanks

You're right -- the placed PDF loses all its interactivity even when it becomes part of a PDF article. You'll need to add buttons over the PDF as you describe. Also, keep in mind that the Show/Hide Buttons action isn't supported in DPS, so you'll need to use a combination of buttons and MSOs to create hotspots, as described in this article:

PDF hyperlinks not working on app

I have pasted a PDF (with working links) on a folio page (folios done in PDF format). The page is uploaded but all links on the original PDF are not working once I view it on the app.
So I'm guessing folios with pasted PDFs on them don't transfer hyperlink properties to the final app? Even thought I've made the folio in PDF format? Does this mean I have to use boxes to create hotspots over the pasted PDF? Is there a way to transfer these properties from the original PDF and skip the hotspot step?
Thanks.

PDF Viewer Not Working Some Scanned PDF Files.

I Have Firefox Latest Version. I Want To View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them. But Firefox PDF Viewer Not Working Scanned PDF. Other Browsers Can View It.

This Is A Serious Problem & Please Fix This Issue.
Thank You.

Same problem. Am using Firefox 24 (W7x64).

I changed the pdfjs.disabled in about:config to true but that didn't help.

Does iSight not work in iBook?

I bought iBook G4 in 2004.
I have ordered iSight in apple store. Not yet shipped now.
However today my friend told me iSight may not work in iBook.
Is it right?

Just for others,
In Jaguar (10.2.5 - 10.2.8) Apple sold a version of iChat 2 for Jaguar from May 2004 until Oct 4th (or that weekend) that worked in the range shown. This is actually a very similar time frame to Panther (10.3) being released.
It is of course unlikely that anyone is in the posistion of having bought this and never used it.

Why bitmap index not working?

I have a table containing 4.2M rows and 16 distinct fs_type_code. So I created a bitmap index ntr_fs_type_code_ind on the column. Then I run the query:
update /*+ INDEX_COMBINE(NTR_FS_TYPE_CODE_IND) */ ntr_CORPALL_20050801 d
set eqt_basket_id = NULL, index_weight = NULL
where
fs_type_code in ('EQGR','EQVG','EQDL')
and eqt_basket_id = equity_symbol
and index_weight = 0;
I clearly tell optimizer to use the bitmap index. But it turns out the optimizer ignore the index and still use full table scan.
When I created regular b-tree index, the same query (without hint) use index scan.
Can anybody tell me why the bitmap index not working here?
Thanks,

<quote>I clearly tell optimizer to use the bitmap index</quote>
You are clearly not doing it right (see bellow). But anyway
1. For frequently modified tables (OLTP type application) you may want to rethink the applicability of bitmap indexes
low cardinality in itself is not enough justification for using bitmap indexes.
2. Your update statement may modify a minority, a majority, or anything in between of the total number of
rows in your table here is no one universal access method which is always better
(if there were one they wouldnt have bothered with coding the rest).
In short, index access is not always the better way.
3. Dont rush into hinting (because that optimizer is such a lousy piece of software)
and if you do, make sure you do it correctly and for the right reasons.

Parallel hint as part of index not working

Hello,
I think that I am misusing the parallel hint on this one, and would appreciate some guidance. I have an insert statement as such:
INSERT INTO TABLE1
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table2;
I modified the query so that it has a parallel:
SELECT /*+ FULL(table2) PARALLEL(table2, 4) */
column1, column2
FROM table2;
This parallel helps with the query's speed. However, when I use it with the insert statement on the top, it does not insert any record, nor does it give an error message:
INSERT INTO TABLE1
SELECT /*+ FULL(table2) PARALLEL(table2, 4) */
column1, column2
FROM table2;
I put EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION ENABLE PARALLEL DML'; at the beginning of the procedure, but that did not help.
I really need the parallel to be in the SELECT statement, that statement runs for about 3 hours without a parallel (due to large amounts of data - no problems with query itself), however it returns only about 10,000 records, and I don't need to insert those with a parallel hint.

Can you show us the EXPLAIN PLAN output you get for your query and the one you get for your INSERT when using the parallel hints as posted?
Please mention your database version (4-digits, e.g. 10.2.0.3).
Please use DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY to format the EXPLAIN PLAN output if you're already on 9i or later, and please use the \ tag before and after the DISPLAY output to format it in fixed font for readability.
What seems to be odd that you say that the result of the query seems to be different when using it as part of the INSERT statement? Are you sure that running the query standalone returns data whereas using exactly the same query in the INSERT statement inserts no records? This would be buggy behaviour.

Bookmarks in an exported pdf do not work

I am writing a teacher guide in support of an activity using iBooks Author. I know that many of the users of this document will not have iPads/Macs, so I also want to export the document as a pdf. Within the document, I have several bookmarks, pointing to other content in my document (i.e. "click here to go to the roster page"). When the file is exported, the links are active in the pdf, but when I click, nothing happens (apart from an "error beep"). If I open the pdf in Adobe Reader, I can see that the linked URL is "ibook:///chapterguid(#########...)", so I suspect that is the issue...the pdf is linking to an iBook site rather than internally to the document. I've tried creating links to text bookmarks, specific pages, and specific sections and all of them fail in the same manner. I suspect the links will work fine within iBooks, but since many of my audience are limited to pdf-only, is there some way I can force the IBA bookmark to do an internal link, rather than an ibook:///... link?
I'm using iBooks Author 2.2 on Yosemite 10.10.2.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
--> John

I don't have Acrobat, but yes, they work fine in Reader. Thes PDFs are going out to people who have all different computers/OS. So what is the best setting to use from the ID Export dialog? I may have to avoid the long URLs for Preview users. Thanks.

Full Text Search in PDF file Not Working in SQL Server 2012

OS: Windows Server 2012 @ Azure
DB: SQL Server 2012 SP 1 with Cum Update 6
Filter: OfficeFilter installed, PDFFilter64 11 installed (actually I tried 9 too)
I have done the following steps:-
1. Configure SQL Server Instance to enable FILESTREAM for Transaction-SQL Access (IO Access and Allow Remote Client Access to FileStream data) and restart the instance service.
2. Set Stream Access Level to Full Access and
3. Create Database with file stream folder and set the created database Properties.Options: FileStreamDirectorName = fileContainer and FileStream Non-Transaction Access = Full.
4. Create a FileTable with file director
5. Execute the following scripts to ensure all installed components working. PDF is listed as one of the supported filter.
EXEC sp_fulltext_service @action='load_os_resources', @value=1;
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0 -- don't verify signatures
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'update_languages'; -- update language list
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'restart_all_fdhosts';
EXEC sp_help_fulltext_system_components 'filter'
reconfigure with override
6. Copy a few PPTX, DOCX, PDF file into the file director.
7. Search the data by following command. I can PPTX and DOCX files can return right result but PDF is not returned although it contains the searching contents.
SELECT *
FROM dbo.Course
WHERE CONTAINS(file_stream, 'Counsellor');
Any expert advise?

Are you seeing any errors in the SQL Server Error Log, the Windows Application or System logs? How about in the Full-text crawl logging?
Troubleshooting Errors in a Full-Text Population (Crawl)
If your server has a mix of multi-threaded iFilters and single-threaded iFilters, this can cause serious problems with building the full text index. (How do I know this? Well, let's just say that I have suffered as well. And I was shocked!)
The efficiency was greatly increased by this article:
Troubleshooting: Slow Full-Text Indexing Performance Due to Filtering Process
This means changing the threading model for the multi-threaded (e.g. Microsoft Office) filters to be Apartment Threaded. Or perhaps if you are full text indexing PDF files, abandoning the free single-threaded Adobe IFilter and purchasing the FoxIt
(or some other) multi-threaded PDF iFilter would benefit you.

Acrobat Pro X PDF previewing not working in Windows 7 64-bit

Greetings, all,
The organization I work for recently purchased a volume license for Acrobat Pro X. We uninstalled Adobe Reader from all of our machines and installed Acrobat Pro X on them. After the move, the PDF preview handler stopped working. People commonly link to the URL below, but it has not worked for us. It appears it only works for the PDF preview handler packaged with Adobe Reader, not the one packaged with Acrobat Pro.
http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/index.html
Users are unable to preview PDFs in Windows Explorer and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. When attempting to preview in Windows Explorer, the following appears:
This file can't be previewed.
What can we do to get the preview handler working in Windows Explorer (Windows 7 64-bit) and Office Outlook 2007?
Thanks in advance!

Bill@VT wrote:
OK. Then do you mean the thumbnails in Windows Explorer? I don't have a solution for that, but there have been several posts about the issue.
Well, thumbnails in Explorer don't work either, but we're not concerned about it. The preview pane is what we're worried about. There is a button in the top-right that turns the pane on. Previewing in Outlook does not work either.

PDF links not working in Safari?

I'm noticing that links in PDFs (made with Acrobat 9) are not accessible when viewing the PDF in Safari (although they do work in iBooks). Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I don't beleive Safari for iOS opens PDF documents natively. You may need a reader, such as Goodreader to open them.
Correction - it does open the PDFs in the browser (but gives a choice of otherapps). My mistake

Help! InDesign interactive PDF buttons not working in Safari or on iPad

I made an infographic in Indesign for our university magazine with a QR code to link to an interactive pdf. Nothing too complicated animation wise, simply buttons that you can click on to view different parts of the graphic. However, the buttons are not working at all in Safari and on the iPhone and iPad, the buttons disapear completley. Please help.
http://bit.ly/yrTN4R?r=qr
Thanks,
Gretchen

Whether buttons work correctly in a PDF file depend entirely on what PDF reader you're using. Here are a couple of important facts:
* While corrected created interactive PDFs will display correctly in the FREE Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, they probably won't display correctly in Apple's Preview application which is probably what you're viewing in Safari.
* None of the PDF readers currently available on an iPad (e.g., iBooks, GoodReader, etc.) correctly handle interactivity like buttons on an iPad.

Advanced Search Index not working

Hi All,
I have an issue with Adobe Reader. Specifically I use the Advanced Search - and usually select one more more index's.
However. I downloaded the latest version 11.0.10 and I cant seam to get my index search working:
1/ I get a security popup saying "The operation you are trying to perform potentially requires read access to your drives. Do you want to allow this operation?" I hit allow.
2/ When I select "Select index..." nothing happens and it goes straight to "currently selected index". It had not remembered my indexes (since when i seach at this pont nothing comes up)
I've re-installed the reader twice - same results. I have managed to "double click" a .pdx file which has allowed me to get access to the index search. However it forgets this selection the next time i load adobe reader.
Any assistance or points would be good.
Cheers

Hi Philip ,
Could you please refer to the following thread and see if that solves the issue.

Adobe PDF Printer not working as print driver; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

I have installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on a newly formatted SSD with Windows 7, 64 bit on my desktop machine. The program was installed from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 and updated within the program. I have the program also installed on my laptop, and the Adobe PDF Printer driver is working properly on my laptop.
On my desktop with the newly formatted SSD, the Adobe PDF printer driver is not working. Note that I am using the printer driver, and not any pdf creation techniques within MS Office or other programs.
When I go to the Adobe PDF printing preferences on my desktop, I only get a generic, two tab window open. When I print a file to this printer on my desktop machine, I do not get a window opening that asks where to create the pdf or what to name it, and I never see any files created. In MS Word, the Create PDF option under the Acrobat tab works and opens a dialog to ask the name and location to save, and then opens a PDF Maker progress window and properly creates the file. I can also save a file as an .eps or .ps file and use Distiller to create the pdf. However I cannot get the Adobe PDF printer driver in my Devices and Printers to work properly, although it works just fine on my laptop with the same program (Pro 9.5.5) and same Windows version (7, 64 bit).
Repairing, uninstalling and re-installing does not solve the problem. Acrotray.exe *32 process is running. Any ideas on why this won't run properly on my desktop, but will run on a similarly configured laptop?
On my laptop, I get a full, (7) tabl menu with all the normal options:

I found this answer from Deepak Chauhan on another forum, and it solved this problem!
Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
- from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
- go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
- go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
delee the PDF port monitor if present
3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
again delete and pdf printer subkey
If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
Once you've all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
Copy and pate the following commands in order
1: net stop spooler

That should set back the pdf printer.
This seemed to provide the link that provided the Adobe PDF Settings tab to the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences that was missing!

Airport card 1.2.1 does not work with Ibook G3 with OSx.4.2

I just purchased a brand new airport express base station. It seems to be up and running on my G4Imac just fine as a server.
For the client,
I have an ibook G3 and now have OSX.3.4 on it.
I installed my ancient Airport card- 1.2.1 into the Ibook.
I installed the new software from the new Airport base station.
I tried to install the old software from the Airport 1.2.1 card but dont have Classic- so would not install.
Now, the Ibook does not allow me to choose Airport in the Network Preferences section- does not seem to recognize there is a card installed. So, no way to connect to the base station.
My questions:
1.can OS X..3.4 recognize the old Airport 1.2.1?
2. Does the software from the new base station support the old card when used in the client?
3. Do I need different software for the card in the iBook other then the base station software? ie, is there card software that needs to be installed, and if so what is it in system X?
Im trying to figure out if I have a hardward problem- ie the card or slot is not working- or s software problem.
Can anyone help?

MacOS 10.3.x has all the software to use an Airport card already installed. All I would recommend you do is install the Airport 4.1 update provided at:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airport41formacosx.html
The software that ships on the CD that came with the Airport Express is only used to configure an Airport Express. It doesn't provide any software updates for the MacOS itself, nor for the Airport card installed in that Mac.
First thing I suggest you do - run the System Profiler utility on your Mac. See if it identifies that an Airport card is installed. If it does not then recheck the installation of the card - ie pull out the card, then plug it in again and make sure it is fully seated into its socket. Remember to also attach the antenna cable to the card. If the System Profiler still fails to "see" the installed Airport card, then the card itself is likely defective.
[Side note: Airport 1.2.1 was the version of the Airport software required to provide software support for the card in ancient MacOS versions. Airport 1.2.1 is not actually installed on the Airport card itself, so if you install an original Airport card into another Mac it makes no difference what Airport version was installed on the Mac the card was pulled from.]
