PDF only opens in 64 bit of AI

Hey all, I've had a few PDFs come in that can only open in the 64 bit version of AI. The problem is that we have a script that runs and interacts with AI, that only works with the 32 bit version. Does anyone have any ideas what could cause the .pdf to only work in AI 64-bit? If you need the .pdf itself, I'll have to get permission from the artist/customer before I can upload it.

My apologies. The reason it wasn't very specific is that the error only gives us "Could not open file" and exits. It looks like the artists have isolated it to an effect they had applied to the text that the 32 bit version of illustrator did not like. They resaved it as an .eps/.ai (she mentions both) and it was able to open and point her to the problem. Seems like it has a problem running debug routines on .pdf files. Issue seems to be resolved for now.

PDF only opens in one install of Std 7.1.0, nothing else at all

The business I work for has received a PDF from a customer, that is a version 1.3 file created using PDF-Xchange, and the PDF only opens on one computer in the whole of the business which is running Acrobat Standard 7.1.0.
On all other computers it will not open and Acrobat states that it is damaged. I've attempted to open it on other computers also running Std 7.1.0 with no success, and on my own which is running Pro 9.3.2.
How on earth is the PDF able to open on just this single computer and no others, no matter what software they are running ?.
Thanks.

Thank you both for the replies. The install had gone well up to step 29 of the process. I made sure I read the notes closely and applied everything that was needed for the install on V6R1.
Like Luis stated, I realized what was happening with the password because we did find that message in the system history log. To make a long story short, we have '/usr/sap/trans' on a separate LPAR on our 570 and needed to create the <SID> profiles on that LPAR and grant them authority to the needed transport directories. What happened though is once I did that I changed the passwords on both systems to match and didn't take into account the install process had the password we installed in the preliminary steps of the install stored somewhere. So after changing both LPAR's <sid>adm password to the install defined password, all went well.
Again thank you so very much. Much karma to both of you.

A site I use every day told me today that it would only open in 32-bit mode. I cannot change this in system preferencees as suggested. Could anyone explain to me why suddenly, and how to change this? (MacBook Pro 10.6.8) Thanks!

Hi. I am in need of advice - and am not very IT savvy! I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8 OS. A site I use every day told me today it would only open in 32-bit mode. I researched and found some advice on how to choose 32-bit mode in system preferences. I do not have that box to click in system preferences. Can anyone tell me as to why suddenly this has happened, and any suggestions on how to go back to 32-bit mode would be great! I did try restarting holding down the 3 & 2 keys as suggested too. No luck. Thanks for any help.

Does the site use 32-bit mode Java? If that's the case, you should have both 32 and 64-bit enabled though Java Preferences in your Utilities folder:
See what you have enabled...

PDF only open the first time

HI
I have a problem with the PDF export, of any type of document; the situation is complicated in the case of documents which provide for the printing of batches of transactions. Let me give an example.
I open a delivery customers and I click on the icon PDF: SAP opens the pdf of Transactions batch and then the standard form of delivery; simultaneously saves both pdf folder of images.
If, once closed the pdf, I click again icon PDF (or after creating a new document), SAP only opens the transaction reports; the report of delivery is not open on the screen but is only saved in the attachments.
In order to view again I have to close the form and reopen it.
Is the first time that the next time, the log file I have the message "Invalid input parameter for DfltSeq", but the first time you open the pdf.
Does anyone know help me to understand why:
1. SAP does not reopen both reports from the second time
2. the pdf are saved once in the path of the images, and after the path of attachments.
Thanks
NL

Hi Maggie,
can you tell me if there is something official SAP (Notes or other) with the problem and that SAP will provide a solution?
I have the SAP 9.0 PL 14 and I do not have the problem.
the customer have 9.0 PL 16 and has the problem.
Thanks

PDF only opening in Foxit App

I have a Physics PDF that only opens on Foxit PDF. It won't open on Adobe, Skim, Preview, or anything except Foxit PDF (previous Windows Laptop) and on the Foxit PDF app that is available on the iPad.
I've been googling but can't find a way to fix it. If anyone knows the answer, would you mind explaining to me at least why it will only open in Foxit. Whenever I try a different application it says the file is corrupted. But it's perfectly fine on Foxit.
I recently started using a MacBook Air so I wanted to start reading/annotating my PDF's with Skim instead of the iPad because I type faster on the laptop. But Foxit isn't Mac compatible (Or at least I have no idea how to install it the intense power user way if that exists) so it's a bummer.
Tried splitting the PDF on PDFSam but PDFSam detected it as corrupted as well.
Thanks!

And ...... I must be terribly stupid because I swear this didn't work ages ago but in depseration I opened the file on my iPad Foxit app and then chose to open it in GoodReader who fixed the corrupted file and now everything is fine.

ITunes will only open in 64 Bit Mode from Dock since Restore

I have only ONE big problem since doing a restore from my Time Machine backup-up for for Late 2009 iMac 27". For some reason I can only get iTunes to open in 64 bit mode if I put an icon on the dock???? It opens in 32 bit mode which is selected in the Get Info - Command+I if I open it from the Finder (which is my preference due to my many 32 bit Visualizers....) but if I put a shorcut icon on the dock REGARDLESS of what my settinigs are in the finder it Always opens in 64 bit mode and tells me my visualizers can not be loaded... Which I am well aware of!   What I don't understand is why this has just happened since reformating and restoring from a time machine backup???? Everything else... at this point appears to be working just fine.   BUT if I open iTunes from the dock... 64 bit mode no questions asked.... opened from Applications in the finder and it grabs my 32 bit mode Prefs?    This is really irritating. I have dumped caches, re-downloaded and installed iTunes.   Not sure what else to do???   Why is this ONLY happeningn if I put an iTunes link on the Dock?    Any help would be VERY MUCH appreciated.   Thanks.

Frank -
Here's the latest. I did the old standby of creating another Admin Account and the behaviour does not occur when logged into that account. So it appears that the restore somehow screwed up settings on my current account. I have indeed checked and there is no other copy of iTunes on my computer except for the DLoaded version of iTunes10.6 where I downloaded and tried to the re-install thing.
Of course still haven't heard back from Apple but I really wasn't expecting too this early. I guess that my next step is to transfer to the user/shared folder and change permissions on each and every folder/preference and file to the new Admin account... until I find out which setting is causing the problem.   To so this is a pain in 'arse' would be an understatement.
Also found out that Preferences has the same behavior as iTunes.   64 bit ALWAYS unless checked during that specific login and NOT started from the dock....   Strange though... both seem to hold the 32 bit (for the session) if run from 'recent', the Apple Menu, or the Finder???   As Alice would say "Curiouser and Curiouser"
My suggestion to ANYONE converting to LION (after this episode) is to back up and do a CLEAN install.   Obviously something from Leopard and Snow Leopard doesn't really like Lion that much.
I have been using computers since 1981 and Apples since OS 8 ... even had few dificulties with the OS X beta, but this one has me befuddled and somewhat irritated. I have thousands of dollars worth of software that I really don't want to have to re-install, re-register, but that may be the only viable option at this point.

PDF only opening in IE

If this is the wrong part of the forum i apologize... Now onto the reason I am here..
I have a user that has Adobe Xi Pro installed along with IE8 locally. Do to job requirements of opening several pdf's hourly and editing them, how would we get it set up so that they will open in adobe pro vs opening in the browser instead. I tried to check the intranet preferences page in pro but get the following instead of check to open in browser box. I have checked the add ons for ie, we have tried to disable, one or all of them. Have also tried the same steps for IE 11 through our citrix server, including tried to disable the EPM mode to see if that might also be causing it. All changes resulted in the same, the pdf opening up in a browser window.

Hi kc_guy,
Could you please right-click on any PDF icon and check under 'Open with > Choose default program' if you have selected Adobe Acrobat or some other program.
Also, go to IE Tools menu > Manage Add-ons and select 'All add-ons' under "Show" label.
Then, check if Adobe PDF Reader is enabled, then click on Disable button and close the dialog box (as shown below):
Now, see if the PDFs open in Acrobat or still in the browser.
Let me know if this helps.

Anubha

Aperture 3.0.1 won't open in 64-bit mode; only opens in 32-bit

I downloaded the trial version and then purchased the serial for A3. I installed the plug-in Aperture2gmail and that seems to be where my trouble began. I realized I had to open A3 in 32-bit mode for A2gmail to work. When I un-selected 32-bit mode, I could not open A3. My error message is below:

Where does Logic Freeze? Can you see any text in the starup splash screen? Also, how long have you actually waited when Logic appeared 'frozen'?
A program becoming unresponsive isn't necessarily frozen, it may well come "unstuck" after a while - it may be looking for resources, or performing checks - allof hese processes can take some time sometimes.
You should perhaps start up Logic just before taking the dog for a walk or something. If it still hangs when you return, you can reasonably conclude that it is frozen.
Also, what is the Startup Action Logic is set to? Changing it to Do Nothing is a good first step.

Prefer Bridge to Open in 32 bit CS5

Can Bridge be set to preferentially open files in 32 bit CS5?
Bridge CS5, when it doesn't crash (which seems more frequent than even CS4) opens images in 64 bit CS5 by default.
Most plug-ins are 32 bit so it would seem user-hostile for Adobe to lock down Bridge, which remains as randomly unstable as prior versions, so that images only open in 64 bit CS5 unless the 32 bit version is already opened.
If one uses the 32 bit version of CS5 preferentially it is pointless to have Bridge load automatically when the computer boots. If a Photoshop process is single threaded, which most still seem to be, the 64 bit version will not improve performance for those tasks no matter how much RAM is in the computer, something Adobe seems to be obfuscating but which objective tests demonstrate.

Bridge is a 32 bit program. Photoshop can run in 64 or 32 bit mode.
If you want to open images in 32 bit PS you can change the default in file type associations of Bridge. You have to use browse and then navigate to the 32 bit version of PS and select.
Not a computer expert but if a 32 bit OS can only access 3.3 gig or RAM then I would assume the 32 bit PS would be the same. This can be a problem if one uses some of the advanced features or handles large files.

Photos open as 32 bit exposures in Photoshop CS5

I am looking for help on what is probably a simple issue. I have purchased a grunty new 64 bit computor and upgraded to Photoshop CS5, loaded the 64 bit version, however my photos will only open as 32 bit exposures with the message at bottom left of the screen "Exposure works in 32 bit only". As a result many of the menu functions (e.g. crop tool) are not accessible. Accessing the drop down menu arrow (bottom left) and moving from 32 bit exposure to another setting does not help. Could anyone suggest the solution please? Thanks, from Belinda.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

If it says that you are definitely NOT looking at a 32 bit image.
There's info in the title bar or tab for the document that tells you the number of bits/channel. Look for a number in there - 8 or 16. That's the actual bit depth of your document.

Just select Print in Safari and then, in the bottom left-hand corner, select PDF and you can save it to whichever flavor pdf file you like.

If you are not able to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to open .pdf files in the browser. Even after you check in prefs to show pdf files in the browser.
Make this modification for all versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader that show under this key.
-Note: Deleting the key and all subkeys for any older versions also seems to fix this problem. So if you see this key present,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Originals
delete the 7.0 and all subkeys.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
-Right click on Originals and choose NEW DWORD Value and name it bBrowserIntegration, hit enter,
double click on the new value and make sure the value is 1

I have a pdf that i can not get to print and I can only open it with Adobe Reader.

I have a pdf that will only open in Adobe Reader. I need to print it but when I try, I keep getting the message "Before you can preform .....you must install a printer." I have several printers networked to this machine. They all have up to date drivers. I've tried changed the default printer. I must print this document and am getting very frustrated. I am on a Windows 7 PC.

Hello,

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF's and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools Comment

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF’s and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools>Comment&Markup or Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Text Tool. All the functions are greyed out. Please advise.

What's your OS? Acrobat 8 is not compatible with any modern OS.
