PDF Preview Issue

I am not sure where to post this, so feel free to tell me if there is a better spot.
I have a simple issue, I was sent a .pdf file that has text boxes where I can input information. After filling them out, I obviously want to save. When I save however, Preview informs me that I need to Save As a copy or .pdf information will be lost. It gives me no other option, so when I do this and reopen the document all the text I have input disappears. Is there a way to save the text that I input? I understand that normally text can't be saved in a .pdf, but for the file I need to fill out, there are obvious text boxes that look like I can input text and save it.
Simple issue, but I can't figure it out. Really appreciate any help.

Try "Print to PDF" from the "PDF" button at the bottom-left of the "Print" dialog window. If that won't work, you can install a virtual printer using CUPS-PDF

Outlook PDF preview issue without adobe

I would like to preview PDF documents in outlook but I do not want to use the Adobe (or any other 3rd party) suite to do so.
I can open the documents in Microsoft's 'Reader' but not in the preview pane. I have looked under trust center settings and have an Outlook message and items checked but no pdf preview to check
Running on Surface pro 3, Win 8.1, Office 2013

Hi,
I'm using Office 2013 along with Windows 8.1, I can confirm there is no build-in PDF previewer in Outlook 2013. It seems we have to use some plug-ins to preview PDF in Outlook.

PDF Preview Issues since 10.6.5 Update

I've noted posts of similar PDF issues since the 10.6.5 update, though not exactly like mine. Since the update some PDF's are not rendering properly.
Specifically no text shows up (though the headers / graphics, underlines and text boxes were there). I forwarded the email to iMac running 10.6.4, and no issues, it reads fine. My iPhone also reads it fine.
Anyone having similar issue? Trying to understand whether this is some over-zealous security thing in the new update (note: I trust source of the PDF in question), since other PDF's can be read with no problems.
Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks LD. Did the repair, reinstall, repair as suggested however the PDF's in question still do not show the written (font) part of the doc. So I investigated further asking the authors how they created their PDF and both were on a cheap (free?) version of Nitro.
So, I think I'll put this issue as solved, since I'm guessing that 10.6.5 just won't play nicely with all PDF creators until the 3rd parties do their own updates.

PDF display and preview issue : NWDS 7.1 SP 05 + ALD 7.1

Hi All
I am creating a webdynpro java application in NWDS 7.1 SP 05. This application has an interactive form ui element. The livecycle designer version is 7.1 and reader versions tried are 8 and 9.
The issue is that the pdf preview in NWDS is blank and also I am getting blank white space instead of the form when i deploy the application on a browser.
I have used NWDS 7.1, SP05 + ALD 7.1 combination on another system and there i can see the form in NWDS pdf preview.
I am completely stuck, please let me know of any way out.
Thanks
Lisha

I can't give a specific response, but if possible, upgrade to LCD 8.0 - it is much smoother to use than 7.1.
I almost pulled out all my hair working with 7.1

Adobe PDF Preview Handler Issue in WIndows 8 64 Bit Machine - After installing Adobe Pro 11.0.10

Hi Guys ,
We are facing a serious issue with Windows 8 and Adobe PDF Preview Handler . We are using the PDFPrevHndlr.dll from Adobe to show PDF Previews in our application. It is working fine in Windows 7 and Vista and for some reason it is not working in Windows 8.1 64 bit machines after upgrading to Adobe Pro 10.0.10 . Please help us figure out what is the root cause of this issue .
During a close analysis we have found that the PrevHost.exe( Windows component ) is failing soon after it is being invoked . Any help in this is much appreciated.

Hi,
Try to uninstall adobe life cycle designer and install it onceagain..
Even we faced some times this problem, but better to use higher version of adobe life cycle designer like 8.0 whiuch will be compatible to your NWDS version...
Hope this helps you in resolving the problem...

Hi
I have a Windows 7 (64-bit) / Outlook 2007 / Adobe Reader XI setup where I can view PDF files via web browsing (IE) but not through Outlook attachments or Windows Explorer.
I've tried...
What appears to be the common registry fix / validation and this is OK
Uninstalled & re-installed
Installed iFilter 9 for 64-bit
Cleared the Outlook temp folders
...and still can't get it to work.
Any suggestions please ?????
Cheers

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.

White border in pdf preview of bleed doc

Hi,
As the attached image shows I get a thin white border on my pdf preview of a document that has a 3mm bleed. I have tried to increase the bleed to 5mm but with same result. I've also tried to exceed the black background outside the bleed marks in InDesign - no result. The pdf is exported with document is generated I'm stuck. Why do I get this annoying thin white border when previewing the pdf document? The people I'm sending this to thinks its something wrong and even if this should turn out to be in preview mode only its ruining my work as everyone else is asking about it when looking at the pdf. Use Document Bleed settings is ticked.

You mentioned trying to increase the bleed areas by dragging the black box larger, but are you actually specifying the larger bleed when exporting the PDF
Also, you mention Bleed Marks rather than Crop Marks.
Crop marks show where the page will be trimmed and this is what the printer needs to see.
Bleed marks are essentially useless. they only show the edge of the bleed, but give NO indication where the printer should trim to
Your black screenshots are hard to decipher, but the Magenta box in your 2nd screenshot only shows the margins on the inside of the page.
Unless you have set the margins to 0, the magenta margin box will always be smaller that the page (the final trim size which is what the Crop marks are for)
Have you accidently set a Slug area larger than the bleed? This is only way I can get the white space to show.
The example below used greatly exaggerated settings to better show some issues.I greatly increased the bleed area to swallow the Crop marks and then included the Slug area to show the white.(slugs are not always used or even needed)
The Magenta box are the margins inside the page.
The Red box is the bleed area.
The Crop marks in between these two are what the printer need to cut on to produce the final page size.
Click on the image below to see a larger version with more detail.
P,S, you mentioned about not being able to print the bleeds. If you have bleeds and crops that will make the final PDF size larger than your desktop printer can print, just select FIT or REDUCE OVERSIZE PAGE in the print dialog and it will print on your printer. Of course it will not be to 100 scale, but it will show all the elements in the PDF.

No. Reader will not damage files. It is only meant to read pdf files. PDF files are frequently damaged when sent as email due to encoding issues.

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!

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.

Logo image not displayed in PDF preview in HFR Studio reports

Hello All
I need to display a logo image on every page of an hfr report. The logo is visible in web-preview and print preview. But when the report is run in PDF preview, logo is not visible.
A header text box is also used which visible in all formats but not the logo.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Neha

The image is a jpg image. I have also tried using and image already saved in hfr's repository.
But still I'm not able get the image in pdf format of report*
The same image is visible in web-preview and print preview*
I don't think issue is because of position of image because I tried including the image in an empty report as well.
The problem is still there with the pdf preview*
Is there something else that could be done to display the image in pdf preview of report????
Thanks in advance..
Neha
