PDF open problem

unable to open PDF - have to save to word, then open with DF Vista - worked two weeks ago. have installed adobe and reader again but did no good. suggestions?

I have never had any problems opening a PDF. Two weeks ago my computer would not open a PDF so I had to save to MO Word, then click on it, "open with," and select PDF Vista. It would open at this point. I am using Windows 7. I re- installed Reader a few hours ago and always keep the current version. My system tells me when an update is available. I download off the site. It is a pain to save every PDF in order to open it. I receive many PDF as all of my Boy Scouting reports are in this type doc. Never had a problem until two weeks ago.

Pdf opening problem ?

Hi,
I am generating pdf output type reports with Oracle Reports .
I am getting problem while trying to open the pdf file.
My Problem is " There was an error opening this document.
The file is damaged and could not be repaired ".
Why i am getting this kind of problem ?
If i see the size of pdf , it is showing 1456kb.
Any thing wrong at the time of pdf generation ?
How many number of pages of report pdf supports ?
In my database i have 55 thousand records for this report.
Is this the problem with more no.of records showing in the same pdf file ?
Is there any limitation to show the no.of records in oracle reports ?
Thanx for help .

We have been experiencing a similar problem. In our case the reports do not have any graphics of any kind in them. But the problem occurs when using report servlets to serve the report back to the client and the PDF file is greater than 35M in size. For us, the reports jserv actually dies with a JNI panic while the client tries to download the pdf file to their machine for display. The problem does not appear if you serv the report via cgi. The only solution that I have been able to do is to have the user re-run the report with a smaller dataset so that the output pdf file size will be smaller.
Our setup: 9iAS 10222 Patch 10
reports served via servlet
all report output is PDF

Pdf opening problems

Hi,
Since a couple of month, i have problem downloading pdf from internet, in fact i can't download them (i download them with my phone et put them on dropbox...)
I looked on different communities to find a solution but nothing helps me. Some talk about deleting a internet pulg-ins in the library, but there is nothing in my internet pulg-ins....
Thanks for you help!

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Good day, I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.

Good day,
I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.
When trying to merge the files, this file ask for a Password. No password was issued from the setup or mail?

Good day abrieb93050306,
I can understand your concern, however can you please let me know that are you able to open both the PDF files ( the one you converted form excel to pdf & the other pdf that was mailed to you ) individually without using any password?
As it asks for the password, it means that the postal mailed PDF is password protected. You can ask for the password from the sender of the postal mail & then try to combine the files.
Please follow the steps in the provided KB doc.to combine the files : Combine files into single PDF | Adobe Acrobat DC tutorials
This will probably resolve your issue.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.
Regards,
Aadesh

Since upgrading to v 4.01 I am unable to print from a .pdf opened in the browser. How can I fix this?

I can save the page, open in Adobe Reader and print. When in the browser the File - Print command does nothing. Printer screen does not open.
Windows XP, all updates installed.

Hi,
One thing to slow it down: low ink. Please check ink cartridges and replace if required.
Regards.

Reader 9 PDF printing problems

I have a Kyocera FS-C5015N. When I print any multi-page PDFs to the FS-C5015N, only the first page comes out or nothing at all. I have tracked the problem down to Adobe Reader 9. I say this because I can successfully print multi-page PDFs using version 8.2. But I cannot with v9. I have downloaded the latest drivers from Kyocera's website. Same problem. I can successfully print with Word, Excel, etc. just not Adobe Reader v9. Any ideas on what I can do to resolve this issue? Thanks.

I do realize that not all printers are affected. However, the problem is clearly with Adobe Reader 9. The reason I say this is that the problem does NOT exist with Adobe Reader 8. The problem ONLY occurs with Adobe Reader 9. Furthermore, I am not sure what specific resolution to this printer you are referring to, but there hasn't been a solution presented thus far that is an actual fix for the problem. Originally, I identified that if I selected "Print to Image" the entire multi-page PDF would print as expected. Although, this solution causes the multi-page PDF to print very slowly (for the reasons noted by Mike). Another reader reported that if you install FoxIT PDF Reader, multi-page PDFs print just fine. I have verified that installing FoxIT Reader DOES INDEED allow me to print multi-page PDFs to our FS-C5015N. Again, if it was purely a driver issue, why would a multi-page PDF opened with FoxIT Reader print as expected while the same PDF opened with Adobe Reader 9, not print as expected? There also were a couple other posts about using the generic Kyocera KX driver. This is not an option for us. Finally, there was a post about changing the Post Script driver setings. We do not use the Post Script driver. And just as a side note, we have tried using the Post Script driver to see if this will resolve the multi-page PDF issue, and it does not. With that said, I implore Adobe to once again acknowledge this problem and provide users with a fix. This is a very frustrating problem.

PDF export problem in Pages/Keynote/Preview

I am having some problems with PDF exports (and "Print as PDF") from Pages (as well as Keynote and Preview). Here is my situation:
I am creating a PDF of a barchart+legend from the program Mathematica. I suspect the way the exported PDF is formatted is that the chart and legend are two blocks within the PDF. This PDF opens perfectly in Preview and Adobe Reader, and imports perfectly into Pages and Keynote. However, when the Pages/Keynote document is exported to PDF or printed to PDF, the resulting file opens fine in Preview but not in either the Mac or Windows version of Adobe Reader (part or all of the image fails to appear with a generic "An error exists on this page, please contact the author of this document to correct this problem" error message). This also happens with the PDF is exported/printed as PDF from Preview itself - the resulting file opens fine in Preview but not with Acrobat.
Any suggestions? While I could reconstruct the barcharts individually in Pages itself, for the sorts of documents I'm working on I could easily have dozens of PDFs to import for a single project, and it's much easier to export the files from Mathematica as the analysis is done than rebuild each one from scratch.

As far as I know, there is no provision for such settings in these programs.
Developer documentation for ICC colour management in Firefox 2, Firefox 3 and Firefox 3.5, see below. Firefox 3 has ICC colour management disabled by default. Firefox 3.5 has ICC colour management for images within which there is embedded an ICC source colour space profile. It is possible to set Firefox to colour manage the application windows as well as images with embedded ICC profiles. The developer documentation discusses how to do this in what sounds suspiciously like a command line / terminal tool, and also how to point Firefox 3.5 to the display profile. This in turn sounds suspiciously like Firefox 3.5 is unable to talk to the system level service and ask for the display profile automatically.
Camino and Opera ... I'll pass. I suspect it's more of the same mess.

PDF opens in all versions of Acrobat except 7

I am working on a project where we create PDF documents with FOP. The generated PDFs open in Version 6, 8 and 9 but NOT 7! We get an error
"There was a problem reading this document(114)" The document is partially rendered and disappears when you scroll down etc. I need to know is there a setting specific to Acrobat 7 that is causing this or is there something in the XSL mark-up that Acrobat 7 does not like. I am really under pressure for a fix on this one so any help or assistance is greatly appreciated

Apache Fop http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ takes an xml file and combines with an xsl stylesheet to create a PDF. (Although we are using a .net verion FONET)

Interactive PDF, open file in new window.

Hello everyone,
I was unable to find this on the net or I could be using the wrong typed search. Created a successful interactive document. I attached a portfolio to this interactive document. I have 3 images. Two are hyperlinked to specific urls which work just fine. I have a sample button which opens the pdf. The only problem I have is that the pdf open in the current pdf window of the past file, so one has to reopen the original file again to access it. I could create a button on the portfolio webpage to go back to the original document, but that would be 20 buttons.
Is there a way for someone to click on the sample button, but open up a new window like you would for a webpage?
Right now the setup in the Buttons and Forms window:
Sample button
Type: button
Name: Sample
Event: On Release or Tap
Open File - Checked
Select File: current path
PDF Options
Description: Portfolio Samples
Printable - Checked.
That is pretty much it.

Not everything can be done in InDesign when it comes to interactivity and forms. I believe you have to use a JavaScript in Acrobat to get the file to open in a new window. I can't provide you a specific reference. Ask on the Acrobat forums.

Pdfs open as blank pages in Safari, Preview, and Evernote

Hi everybody!
I am experiencing problems with viewing pdfs in Safari and Preview, as well as third party apps such as Evernote. Some pdfs open fine and as always, others will just open as an assortment of blank pages.
Interestingly enough, I have had some of these pdf files before I migrated from a Snow Leopard MacBook to a Lion MacBook Pro.
Anybody?
I much appreciate your help.

Linc,
yes, I was able to view the file just fine before the migration to Lion and the MacBook Pro. And I have not had problems with most of the pdfs I have downloaded / opened in Safari / Preview / Evernote.
However, I cannot view a single pdf from this site, for example: http://www.swp-berlin.org/en/start-en.html. Pick any of their pdfs. Or, randomly, the newest one: http://www.swp-berlin.org/fileadmin/contents/products/comments/2011C17_bsh_janet schek_srj_ks.pdf.
Do you also have problems viewing them? (Again, I never had issues viewing their pdfs so I am reluctant to just blame it on them.)
I hope you can help.
Thank you very much already!

PDFs open with reader instead of Acrobat Pro

OS: WinXP
A/Reader version: 9.3.4
A/Acrobat Pro version: 7
Issue:
PDFs open in the Reader and not in Acrobat Pro. I changed the File Association to open them with Acrobat Pro and it works fine for the rest of the day, but when I log in the next day it reverts back to opening in A/Reader again. This is an issue because of the way we have to access the PDFs at work, from within IE on a server.
Someone at work thought there might be a registry hack needed to fix this. I have looked at the registry entries for Reader and Pro, but there's nothing obvious to me.
One other thing that I have not tried as yet is to log in as Administrator and select (tick) the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" option. Maybe it might seem obvious that this is what's needed, but it was working fine prior to last week. The tick is greyed out when logged in as a 'normal' user, but the tick is on too.
I guess someone will suggest I do this anyway and see if it resolves the problem, before looking at the registry. :-)
Many thanks in advance for all suggestions.
Paul

Mostly you will get the suggestion to remove one or the other from your system and repair or reinstall the remaining application. It is not a recommended or supported configuration having both.
Another suggestion is to reinstall Acrobat Pro. That works for about 4 out of 10 people.

I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad.

I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad. Mi am able to view the file in its entirety on my Mac but not on my ipad. I have tried saving it to acrobat but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions please.

Hi,
When you say the entire content, do you mean some parts of the pdf are not getting displayed or is it going out of the screen?
Please send a pdf you are having issues with on chmaheshatadobedotcom, it will help us investigating the problem.

FireFox 3.6 and Adobe Reader X. Reader X PDFs opened within the browser contain links, which do not work. Anyone got clues on why the links fail and how to fix?

When we rolled out ReaderX and AcrobatX we uncheck the Diaply PDF in Browser window. OK with IE, but ignored in FireFox (3.6.16). We can live with that except the PDFs have links to other URLs and clicking on them is ignored. Same PDF opened outside the browser the links work fine. FireFox with Reader 9.4.0 no problem. Reader X with IE no problem. I can fix the Display in Browser with a change to firefox.js, but have not figured out how to fix the links when the PDF is displayed within the browser.

My replies are in Bold.
Thank you for your response and message.
1. Are you seeing this problem with all kinds of PDF's or some specific kinds like secure PDF's (with doc open password or printing restrcitions), reader extended PDF's or PDF forms.
This problem is with all kind's of PDF's.
2. Are you opening a locally saved PDF by doing a drag drop in the browser or right click and open with IE/FF or directly opening a PDF hosted on the internet?
It doesn't matter. However I do it, I see this problem in Firefox, IE & Google Chrome.
3. Can you also check the version of the Reader X browser plugin? you could find it at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll. Right click -> Properties -> Details
If version is 9.0.x then you could try a clean install of Reader X.
I have checked it. It's the latest plug-in (though at the moment, I have gone back to Adobe Reader 9.4.1, as I've mentioned before, because I need the reader to be working fine for my work and daily life. I am just waiting for a fix before I try Adobe Reader X again.
As I've mentioned before, I am seeing this issue ONLY on my Windows 7 Ultimate (Laptop). In the desktop's at work, with Windows XP / Vista, I don't see it. Adobe Reader is working fine, browser integration is fine, the floating tool bar works fine, the right click menu pop' up where the right click is done...I can also save PDF' from the main toolbar at the top and so on...
I really have run out of ideas.... and I am very surprised that no expert support personnel (if at all there is one) have dropped by or said anything or mentioned anything about this.
Anyway.... Cheers.

Trouble with a PDF opening correctly from a link

When I click the link to a certain pdf on a web page, a new window opens but I get the error message "The file is damaged and could not be repaired." I click OK, then close that window. I go back to the link, click on it again, and sometimes the pdf opens fine at that time, and sometimes it takes one more time for it to open correctly. Other people have opened the pdf the first time with no trouble at all. I can open other pdf links on the same web page without a problem. Any thoughts?

Hi Kim,
It seems the document had Reader extended rights. Those form are created using different feature and when a person save the document with Data those rights will not remain intact with the form.
Means you cant make any changes with the form.

Ajlan Huda.

Using Adobe Document Services PDF opening in separate window

With EP 7.0 SP13 and WebDynpro for ABAP we are using Adobe Document Services to create a Print Preview with a PDF. This is not an Interactive PDF. In most cases the functionality is working correctly. We have one user where the PDF opens in a separate window outside of the portal environment. When this happens the buttons we have added to the bottom of the PDF for event processing (return) are on the portal window, but unavailable to the PDF.
What would cause the PDF to open in a separate 'session' and not in the active portal session?

The problem was on the users workstation copy of Adobe. There is a parameter that allows the PDF to be opened in a separate window.
