PDF Preview Error

I have converted an Excel file to PDF and embedded it in a webpage. When the page is accessed, the preview should load. Unfortunately, the box perpetually reads, "The preview for this file is being generated. You can download the file and view it from your desktop right away."
When clicked, the file does not download.
Please Help!
UA Student Assistant

Thank you for your post. I'm sorry about the trouble.
Although the file may not be compatible with the previewer, you should be able to download it. You might try deleting the file and starting over to see if that helps. If not, can you send us an email from the email address associated with your Acrobat.com account, as well as the link to the file in question - we'll be glad to take a look on the back end. Please reference this forum post in your email.
Kind Regards,
Michelle

Error message while clicking PDF Preview of a ADOBE interactive form

Hi -
I am creating an ADOBE interactive form having Tables, few text fields and E-mail submit button. The scripting language used is FormCalc.
Whenever I am clicking on PDF Preview to see the form layout and to check other functionality, I am getting an error message:
Error message -
Error: syntax error near token '|' on line 1, column 14.
Script failed (language is formcalc; context is xfa[0].form[0].data[0].Mainpage[0].Subform3[0].Table2[0].Row1[0].RATING[0])
script=this.isnull || (this.rawvalue >= -32768 && this.rawvalue <= 32767
I checked my scripts and there is no syntax error in that. My form is also working absolutely fine except getting this error message pop up whenever I try previewing my form.
Can you please tell me, what can be the possible reason.

I tried everything, but couldn't figure out the reason for error. I wrote the script again, but the error is still coming.
Here is a part of my script. I have written this script on Email submit button in preSubmit event, to check if the RATING field value is less than or equal to 3. depending upon this condition, I am making the COMMENT field as mandatory. The same script is repeated for all the RATING & COMMENT fields.
if (data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.RATING1 <= 3)
then
 data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.COMMENT1.mandatory = "error"
 data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.COMMENT1.mandatoryMessage = "Please fill corresponding comment"
else
 data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.COMMENT1.mandatory = "disabled"

How to open report.pdf file? getting error message file cannot be previewed pdf preview handler

how can I open a report.pdf file that shows error: file cannot be previewed because of an error w/ pdf preview handler

Hi pfmercerville,
If you are running the 64-bit version of Windows 7 (or Vista), you will find that your PDF files do not preview in Windows Explorer as they do in the 32-bit versions. Instead, all you see is a message stating that This file can’t be previewed. To enable this functionality on your 64-bit operating system, follow these steps.
1. Click the Orb (Start Button).
2. Go to the Search programs and files textbox and input regedit.
3. Select regedit.exe from the results.
4. When the UAC prompt appears, click the Yes button.
5. In the left pane of the Registry Editor, go to (and select): 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID\{DC6EFB56-9CFA-464D-8880-44885D7DC193}
6. In the right pane, locate AppID.
7. Change AppID value to {534A1E02-D58F-44f0-B58B-36CBED287C7C}.
8. Restart your computer for the change to take affect.

I have seen this:

Is it not working only for PDF files? I only used the zone external-https as an example so please confirm that you set the right binding. After all applications have the correct binding you need to create a result type for PDFs:
Site Settings > (Search) Result Types and then finding the PDF Result Type. Choose to Copy the Result Type.
Give the new Result Type an appropriate name, “PDF with Preview” for instance. Then scroll down to Actions and in the “What
should these results look like?” drop-down, choose to use the Word Display Template.

PDF preview in windows 8.1

I am facing a problem previewing PDF file from my application.
It was working find in windows xp and windows 7 machines, but showing error line "Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component" in windows 8.1 machine.
my application using "Adobe PDF preview for Vista" for PDF preivew.
i think my previewer is causing the problem, but dont know which preview handler me to use instead of "Adobe PDF preview Handler for vista"
please help me to solve this
ps: from my windows explorer i can see pdf preview.
Thanks
Rosh

After a close debug, i found that "doPreview" is crashing my application. Also the previewer assembly "PDFPrevHndlr.dll" is modified in Adobe Acrobat XI.
the modified "DoPreview" method now expecting 2 parameter (int, out int), after giving some values in it, it stops crashing, still my PDF preview not shown up.

PDF Preview Handler Not Working in Outlook 2010

I have Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit and Outlook 2010.
Everything was working fine, until a few months ago when the PDF Preview Handler stopped working. I got the typical message that others were having with the issue with Adobe Reader 9. I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have also used Adobe Reader X. I have tried the little registry fix app that is supposed to fix this issue, but it states that my registry is already correct. Has anyone found a resolution for this issue with Acrobat X and Outlook 2010? As a workaround I am using the Foxit PDF Preview Handler, but I have to reinstall it everytime Adobe Reader or Acrobat is udpated as for some reason Outlook then reverts back to the PDF Preview Handler, which is not working.
Thanks,
Merg

Nope, using 32-bit. And I recently uninstalled Acrobat Pro completely and reinstalled it due to an issue with it not updating due to having the "Error Applying Transforms" issue. After I reinstalled, I updated it completely. I suppose I can try uninstalling and reinstalling again, but that seems like overkill.

LaTeX composition in (g)vim with live update-as-you-type PDF preview

Ever since I tried the gummi LaTeX editor, I've been intrigued by the idea of having a live-updating PDF preview--i.e., a PDF output panel which updated as I typed. This provides all the good things of WYSIWYG, but without taking away the control I have by editing the source directly. However, apart from its preview panel, I was thoroughly unimpressed with gummi as an editor. It had none of the advanced features I was used to.
Since then, I've been trying various techniques to make it work with my preferred editor, (g)vim. At first, I used latexmk with the -pvc option which recompiles whenever the file changes, along with a PDF editor that refreshes whenever the file changes (like evince); but found it slow and tended to get stuck.
My current method is to use mupdf as my viewer, with a custom LaTeX script which calls xdotool to update mupdf whenever I have a successful compilation. This seems to be working fairly well.
Here's an animated GIF screen capture showing it in action
There is typically still a 1-second delay between typing something and it showing on the PDF preview, but it's not really any worse than it seems to be wih gummi, and I get to use a world-class editor.
I should note that I'm not using the vim-latex suite plugin or anything similar, so I don't know whether or not any of this is compatible.
Anyway, I thought I'd post my method here just in case anyone thought it useful, or more importantly, anyone had any feedback for how it might be improved. I'm not a programmer (--my degrees are in philosophy!--) and don't really have that much experience with vim or bash scripting, so forgive my naive methods.
Anyway, in my ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex.vim I have:
" Function to save, check if already compiling and compile if not
function! KKLtxAction()
" go to right directory
lcd %:p:h
" save the file if need be and it's possible
if filewritable(bufname("%"))
silent update
endif
" see how many kkltx processes there are
" note that there are always 3 when the checking itself happens
" so we need there to be no more than that
let numrunning = system("ps ax | grep kkltx | wc -l")
if numrunning < 4
exec "silent !kkltx " . expand("%") . " &"
endif
endfunction
" Call this function whenever mupdf the cursor moves
" But only in gvim
if has("gui_running")
au CursorMoved *.tex call KKLtxAction()
au CursorMovedI *.tex call KKLtxAction()
endif
So whenever the cursor moves, the file saves and checks if the compilation script is running. If it is not, it runs it. Here's the script, named kkltx. (To make it work, create a ~/.config/kkltx folder. Sorry about the stupid name; I needed it to be uncommon.)
#!/bin/bash
file="$1"
logfile="${file%.tex}.log"
auxfile="${file%.tex}.aux"
# check to see when file was last saved and
# check see what version of file was last compiled
currmodified=$(stat -c %Y "$file")
oldmodified=$(cat $HOME/.config/kkltx/lastprocessedfile)
# if they're the same exit with no change
if [ "$currmodified" == "$oldmodified" ] ; then
echo "nochange"
exit 0
else
# if compilation is necessary, check what program to use
# 'xelatex' should appear in first 5 lines for xelatex docs
if head -n 5 "$file" | grep -i -q 'xelatex' > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
execprog="xelatex"
else
execprog="pdflatex"
fi
# try to compile
if ${execprog} -interaction=batchmode -file-line-error -synctex=1 "$file" > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
# if compiling worked check if bibtex needs to run
if cat "$logfile" | grep -i -q 'undefined citations' > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
if bibtex "$auxfile" > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
if ! ${execprog} -interaction=batchmode -file-line-error -synctex=1 "$file" > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
echo "failure"
exit 1
fi
else
echo "bibfail"
exit 2
fi
fi
# check if a rerun is necessary to update cross-references
if cat "$logfile" | grep -i -q 'rerun to get' > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
if ! ${execprog} -interaction=batchmode -file-line-error -synctex=1 "$file" > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
echo "failure"
exit 1
fi
fi
# update mupdf by sending the r key to it
xdotool search --class mupdf key --window %@ r > /dev/null 2>&1
echo "success"
# save time of compilation

exit 0
One thing you miss out on with mupdf is the SyncTeX ability in, e.g., TeXworks that allows you jump from the source to the corresponding part of the PDF and vice-versa. Here's a kludge that at least gets to you to the right page by using xdotool to send the signal to move to a certain page matching the source, or to read what page mupdf is on, and move to the beginning of the source code for that page (or strictly, a couple inches over and down). Again, in my ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex.vim
" \v to open the viewer
nnoremap \v :exec "silent! !mupdf ".expand("%:r").".pdf &"
" forward search with mupdf
function! MuPDFForward()
" make sure I'm in the right directory
lcd %:p:h
let pageforward = 0
" find where I am now; adjust for starting with 0
let searchline = line(".") + 1
let searchcol = col(".") + 1
" use synctex to find the page to jump to
let pageforward = system("synctex view -i " . searchline . ":" . searchcol . ":\"" . expand("%") . "\" -o \"" . expand("%:r") . ".pdf\" | grep -m1 'Page:' | sed 's/Page://'")
" if a page other than 0 is found, send the page number to mupdf
if pageforward > 0
call system("xdotool search --class mupdf type --window %1 \"" . pageforward . "g\"")
endif
endfunction
" inverse search with mypdf
function! MuPDFReverse()
lcd %:p:h
let gotoline = 0
" call a script which returns the line number near start of page shown on mupdf
let gotoline = system("syncreverse-mupdf.sh " . expand("%:p:r"))
if gotoline > 0
exec ":" . gotopage
endif
endfunction
" mappings \f and \r for forward and reverse search
nnoremap <buffer> \f :call MuPDFForward()<CR>
nnoremap <buffer> \r :call MuPDFReverse()<CR>
Here is the script syncreverse-mupdf.sh called by the above:
#!/bin/bash
# syncreverse.sh full-path-of-PDF-minus-extension
pathfn="$1"
# reduce filename to base, add .pdf
pdffile="$(echo "$pathfn" | sed 's@.*/@@g').pdf"
# change to directory containing files
cd "$(echo "$pathfn" | sed 's@$.*$/[^/]*@\1@g')"
# read page number in mupdf window title
page=$(xdotool search --class mupdf getwindowname | sed 's:.* - $[0-9]*$/.*:\1:')
# synctex lookup; remove junk
line=$(synctex edit -o "$page:288:108:$pdffile" | grep -m1 'Line:' | sed 's/Line://' | head -n1)
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -n 's/$[0-9]*$.*/\1/p')
# return line for gvim
echo "$line"
exit 0
I also recommend putting mappings in vim to send keys to mupdf to move around, so you can move around in the preview but without making (g)vim lose focus. These are just examples.
nnoremap <silent> <buffer> <C-PageDown> :silent! call system("xdotool search --class mupdf key --window %@ Page_Down")<CR>
nnoremap <silent> <buffer> <C-PageUp> :silent! call system("xdotool search --class mupdf key --window %@ Page_Up")<CR>
Anyway, these could definitely be improved, by, for example, accommodating master/sub-documents, and so on. Thoughts?

OK, I've uploaded a PKGBUILD to AUR. Since I've changed how it handles recognizing when it's safe to recompile, it no longer needs to have a weird name. The name is now:
vim-live-latex-preview
It comes with a very short vim help file, which I'll copy here.
*live-latex-preview.txt* For Vim version 7.3. Last change: 2010 Oct 27
*live-latex-preview*
A plugin for creating a live-updating PDF
preview for a LaTeX file in MuPDF
Default key bindings:~
\p = Begin auto-compilation and launch MuPDF preview.
\o = End auto-compilation and close MuPDF preview.
\s = Check the result of the last compilation;
jump to first error in case of errors.
\f = Forward search to page in PDF matching cursor
position in source.
\r = Reverse/inverse search to position in source
matching active page in MuPDF. (Very approximate.)
\<PageUp>, \<PageDown>, \<Up>, \<Down>, \<Right>, \<Left>, \G
\m, \t, \-, \+, \= = Send the corresponding keystrokes
to the MuPDF preview without losing focus on vim Window
The '\' can be changed by changing <LocalLeader>.
Be aware that your file is saved whenever the cursor moves. Be sure
to take the appropriate measures to keep back-up saves and undo files
so you can undo changes if need be.
To compile with XeLaTeX rather than PDFLaTeX, include the string
'xelatex' somewhere in the first five lines of your file (e.g., in a
comment). Currently only PDFLaTeX and XeLaTeX are supported. (Support
for LuaLaTeX and/or LaTeX > dvips > ps2pdf may be added in the future,
but they may be too slow for the live updating process anyway.)
The plug-in does not currently support master- and sub-documents
via LaTeX's \input{...} and \include{...} mechanisms. This may be
added in the future.
vim:tw=78:ts=8:ft=help:norl:
This is a new version; pretty much completely rewritten from the above. In particular, I've tried to incorporate keenerd's ideas; in particular some changes:
Rather than grepping the active processes, when it begins a compilation, it records the process ID of the compilation script, and will not begin a new compilation until that process finishes.
When it first launches MuPDF, it records the Window ID and sends it back to vim, so vim knows which instance of MuPDF to refresh or work with.
I've added a \s quick key which provides a one-word summary of the effects of the last compilation and jumps to the line number of the first error, if there were errors.
The script is located in a separate file in the main $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin folder, rather than a user's tex.vim file.
I'm sure there's still plenty of room for improvement. I'd still like to get it to handle master/sub-documents well, for example. All comments welcome.
