PDF plot from OS X, then sent to iPhone/iPad - error

Hi!
This is a tricky one. I am not sure if this belongs here or in iOS support, but I guess it is a OSX issue.
You can read an initial thread in this Autodesk forum, from where I jumped here looking for help.
http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-for-Mac-General/Plotting-to-pdf-hides-some -layers-on-iPhone-iPad/m-p/4979434/highlight/false
The thing is whenever I plot an Autocad 2014 drawing to pdf, all the lines with a width smaller than 0.05mm disappear when viewing the pdf on an iPhone or iPad.
The pdf is displayed correctly on my Macbook Pro and on Windows computers. It is also printed correctly from my laptop. If the whole plot to pdf process is done on a windows computer, when you view the pdf on an iPhone there is no such issue. That's why I guess it is a OSX issue.
I have not tried any other software that produces cad or vector drawings that can produce the same effect, but this is a ver annoying issue because I have to use a different computer when I need to send drawings via email, just in case they are opened on an iDevice. I have not tried mobile devices other than iPhone or iPad, either

I traced the problem to what I believe was a setting on my router (Cisco 4200N).  There is some BS setting for:
WMM Support
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a wireless Quality of Service feature that improves quality for audio, video, and voice applications by prioritizing wireless traffic.
I disabled this and so far things have been working 100%. I will update if things change. Its only been working for a slid day so far. But before I changed this setting, I couldn't even get it to work after establishing a WIRED connection first.  So this is very promising.
I hope anyone having this problem with a 4200N router comes across this thread and I save them some time.

    How to upload words, exel, PDF file from the pc via itune to the iPad, and where will the uploaded file be saved? In the apps?

    You will need an app (or apps) on your iPad that is capable of reading the documents, as they will be saved with the app - if you don't have such an app then there is nothing to transfer them to or to read/access them.
    One method of transferring them is toconnect your iPad to your computer's iTunes, select it's app tab, and then scroll to the bottom of it - you should the apps That you've got that are capable of file-sharing (if you've got any).  Selecting/high-lighting one of them should then allow you to add files to it via the box to the right of it.
    An alternative way to get the documents onto your iPad is if the app that you want to transfer them to has a wifi setting, which will then allow you to transfer the documents wirelessly. You can also send the documents to yourself as attachments and then use Mail's 'open in' facility to copy them into your chosen app.
    Edit : more info on file sharing from the manual :
    File Sharing lets you transfer files between iPad and your computer. You can share files created with a compatible app and saved in a supported format.
    Apps that support file sharing appear in the File Sharing Apps list in iTunes. For each app, the Files list shows the documents that are on iPad. See the app’s documentation for how it shares files; not all apps support this feature.
    Connect iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select iPad in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
    In the File Sharing section, select an app from the list on the left.
    On the right, select the file you want to transfer, then click “Save to” and choose a destination on your computer.
    Transfer a file from your computer to iPad:
    Connect iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select iPad in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
    In the File Sharing section, click Add.
    Select a file, then click Choose (Mac) or OK (PC).
    The file is transferred to your device and can be opened using an app that supports that file type. To transfer more than one file, select each additional file.
    Delete a file from iPad: Select the file in the Files list, then tap Delete.

    In short, you have a problem we can't solve.
    I suggest you contact Apple support and make an appointment to get help.  Expect to pay for it.

  • Is it possible to open a PDF from the notes section in the iPhone/iPad calendar app?

    If it's not possible, do you know if there is a third party app that can accomplish this? I am an administrative assistant and it would be very helpful to attach PDF documents to my boss' calendar in Outlook so then he could access it from his iPhone/iPad at meetings. As of now, I email him the required PDF documents before his meetings so he can then access them using iBooks. Any advice would be most appreciated.

    Not directly as an attachment, but you can put a URL.  A web link.
    E.G., a dropbox file link might be quick and easy.  It's how I would do it.

  • When trying to generate pdf file from firefox 7.0.1 , getting corrupt content error, used to work with previous versions of firefox

    We have done toleration testing on firefox version 5 thru 6 and haven't got an issue with our website generating pdf files for our users. One of our users upgraded to firefox version 7.0.1 and they tried to generate a pdf report, now a screen pops up with Corrupted Content Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. I recreated this issue on my pc yesterday by installing firefox 7.0.1. Any hints as to what I need to look at would help. Cannot provide the url because it is a secure website for law enforcement. Thanks.

    You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.
    Hi Mark,

  • Can I save music from my itunes macbook to my iphone/ipad mini via home sharing?

    Or can you only play it in your home with the home wifi?
    When I plug my ipad into my Macbook an error message comes up "The ipad cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 of later.
    My Macbook is running itunes 10.6.3 and won't seem to accept 10.7, so now I can't put any of my music onto my iphone, ipad or ipod!
    I would love some help with this ... I hope I don't have to buy a new computer with the latest operating system to enable me to put my music on my other devices.
    I am hoping a way round this is to save content while the home sharing is on so that I can play it when I'm away from my home wifi?
    Thank you!

    You can only play music from the computer when you use Home Sharing. You cannot download music to the I pad with Home Sharing.
    Can you update your Mac to 10.6.8? Then update iTunes. Mac requirements for syncing with iPad are ....
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access6
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 8; Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    Download iTunes at www.itunes.com/download

  • How do I save an Attachment (PDF file) from an email on my 3G iPhone??

    How do I sae an email attachment to my 3G iPhone (in this case I want to save a PDF file sent to me as an attachment).
    Thks

    You can save the email to a folder. The PDF in reality is saved to the phone in the mail directories folder, and can always be opened and read from your mail app. If you want to save it to your computer, then you can either email it to yourself or download a file sharing app from the appstore.

  • With OSX10.7.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02 when I try to open a PDF downloaded from the web I get 'There was an error opening this document. This file is damaged and could not be repaired. Preview will not open either. Older PDFs OK.

    I am running OS X 10.7.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02. In the last few days I have been unable to open PDF's downloaded from the web. Reader gives the error message 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired'. Removing Reader and trying to use Preview to open these files give the error 'Preview cannot open this file. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise' (or something like that). Downloading the same files with Reader removed from my Mac Preview opens the files OK.
    I was recently prompted to update Adobe software but did not note exactly what the update was nor when it was done.
    Reader and Preview will both open PDFs I downloaded a week ago. Reader will also open files downloaded on another Mac running OS X 10.0.0 and copied to my Mac. Any ideas?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    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.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    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.

  • Transfer iTunes to new Mac from Time Machine, then sync with iPhone

    Hi everyone,
    I just sold my old Macbook (everything was backed up with Time Machine) and bought a new Macbook Pro. Now I want to copy the iTunes library back. The problem is, even if I copy all the music, video, apps, iTunes U... from Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/... to the new Macbook, iTunes still thinks (rightfully) that it is a new machine. So if I plug my iPhone to it and try to sync, it will ask to *remove all my apps*, music, contacts... and resync again. That would probably *remove every user data* I have in those apps.
    Do you have any solution?

    By any chance do you still have the old computer? If you do then copy /Home/Music/iTunes/ folder on the old computer to an external drive then transfer it to the new computer.
    If you don't have the old computer then you have a little bit of a problem. Did you use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to transfer your files from the TM backup? Is the username (account short name) on the new computer the same as on the old computer? I'm guessing "no" because you are getting the permissions errors.

  • Contacts syncing then disappearing then resyncing on iPhone/iPad with Exchange Activesync 2010

    Using iPhone 4S and iPad with 5.0.1 and Exchange 2010 activesync, user has about 1600 contacts, inbox is clear/empty.  ISSUE: After migrating client to Windows 7 and Exchange 2010, contacts on devices sync slowly but rarely get to the total number of 1600.  Gets to about 1000 contacts after 1hr of syncing, but sometimes resets after a few hundred contacts appearing. Randomly, the phone/ipad will stop syncing and all synced contacts disappear, then start resyncing again.  Have set up this users login on another iPhone 4S with 5.0.1 and same issue occurs. Is not device dependent nor is the reset timer consistent so we don't believe it's a timeout issue - reset time is random. Prior to migration, user didn't experience this issue.  We cleared the inbox to ensure large emails weren't causing a server timeout. Inbox and calendar appear synced. Have tried all combinations of push/fetch/# of mails etc, but sure it's not device or setup dependent.  It seems something in the new server combination with 5.0.1 or perhaps a "bad" contact that the server encounters will cause the contact list "reset" and begin resyncing.  Seems to be an isolated case in this enterprise server/space.  On the iPads/iPhones, other contacts or mailboxes are synced, no local contacts on iTunes, and Cloud is turned entirely off. Have checked contacts for "large" contacts - total contact list folder is < 20MB due to some card images.  Would appreciate any help or suggestions. Alan.

    I have the same issue in my iPhone 4S (IOS 5.1.1). 3 others in my company have the same situation.
    The problem started last Friday. I have not changed anything in my iPhone.
    I tried turning off iCloud contacts sync, I tried recreate my Exchange account. I tried a complete reinstall.
    After that I could do a full sync on Sunday.
    On Monday I lost my contacts again and I could no longer do a full sync. I have 1200 contacts and I can not sync more than 400, the synchronization stops and all contacts disappear, then the resynchronization starts again.

  • TS1702 To transfer a rental from your iTunes library to iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV:

    iTunes library to iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV

    It sounds as though you are doing something wrong or at least that something is going wrong. Are you saying that content synced to your Apple tv disappears every time you unplug it and requires resyncing again. Do you have to set it up again or does the content just disappear.

  • Problem importing PDF file from Word to Pages on IPad 2

    I am trying to import a PDF file from Word 2007 to Pages on my iPad 2 using the file sharing function in iTunes.
    I am able to import it, however when Pages saves it, I get the following message:
    "Pages doesn't support some od the original document.
    Objects in headers, footers, shapes, text boxes and table cells were removed.
    Merged table cells were unmerged.
    Objects were removed from table cells."
    The document is a PDF form which needs to be filled in. The document was downloaded from a website and saved as a Word document where I have been able to enter in information and print it.
    I would like to be able to fill in the form and print it from Pages as there are other documents that accompany this PDF file. (these are plain text Word documents which I have succesfully imported and can edit and print.)
    Is there any way for me to achieve this?
    Cheers,
    Jules

    I don't think Pages can do this - you'll need a dedicated iPad PDF program that can fill in and edit PDF files. And even then, reports are that different readers work or dont' work with different PDF's... I use Goodreader, which can do some PDF filling in, but you might want to check the app store for others.

  • HT1657 if i want to watch a movie on my ipad do i have to order the movie from itunes from my ipad or can i download it from my desktop then sync my ipad

    i want to watch a rented movie on my ipad while I am travelling.  Do I have to download the movie from itunes from my ipad or do I access itunes from my desktop then just sync my ipad to watch the movie on my ipad?

    Yes that is correct. However there is one slight difference with rented content, in that you need to transfer it to your iPad rather than simply sync. You can do this by selecting the rental in iTunes from the left hand side of the iTunes window and choosing the transfer option.
    Yes it will be transferred to the video app on your iPad.
