PDF Preview not working in Workspace

Greetings
Attempts to execute the PDF Preview command in Workspace result in 'PDF has not been configured for this web server.'
The Hyperion S9 BI+ 9.3 Financial Reporting Print Server service was configured to use AFPL Ghostscript 8.51 and was started prior to attempting the command.
Ghostscript itself is installed and tested working.
Checked Workspace's MIME types library and found '.pdf' already mapped to 'application/pdf'.
Read the installation and configuration guides and found no clues as to what may be preventing the print server from generating the PDF preview.
Went through the log files under folder %HYPERION_HOME%\BIPlus\logs, %HYPERION_HOME%\logs\BIPlus, and MS IIS's, but found nothing.
Any ideas on diagnosing and troubleshooting this issue?
Thanks!

I believe the supported version for ghost script is 7.0.6; I had the same problem and after installing the lower version it worked like a charm.
If you cant find the older version let me know, I'll email it to you or place it in my website.

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.

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.

PDF previewer not working in Outlook

All,
I have recently updated to Adobe reader 11.0.10, I can now open the documents I was not able to open, but the previewer in Outlook stopped working. The error I get is that the doc is not supported by my currect reader and that I have to upgrade to the latest
version. I have done everything that people suggest on the web - trust center settings, etc., but I have not been successful. Has anyone encountered the same issue and do we have a solution?
Any help is greatly appreciated
My details: Win 7 Ent / 32 bit / Office 2010 / Adobe reader 11.0.10
Thanks

Hi,
Have you checked if the PDF Preview Handler is available and shows as enabled in File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Attachment Handling > Attachment and Document Previewers?
Which format of file are you previewing in Outlook? Please first make sure the format is supported by Adobe reader. You can verify this by consulting the Adobe Reader support. If the file type is supported by Adobe Reader, please open Control Panel,
find and click Default Programs >
Associate a file type or protocol with a program, then locate the file format and make sure
Adobe Reader is set as the default program for the file type.
If it's not a PDF document that you want to preview, we can also try to preview a PDF attachment to see if it works fine. If this issue continues when previewing a PDF attachment in Outlook, I'd recommend we uninstall and then reinstall the Adobe reader
to see the result.
Please let me know the result.

Creative Cloud PDF preview not working correctly

More than 50% of the time, when we upload a PDF to our Creative Cloud the preview image is distorted to a square regardless of the actual proportions. The left and right arrows are also missing so you cannot preview multiple pages in a file. Sometimes it works but most the time it doesn't. Usually we have to upload again and then everything is fine.
Even though the upload doesn't preview correctly or allow you to preview multiple pages the PDF download is fine.

I am having the same problem, it's been like that for weeks. I've tried uploading an inDesign file and it only shows the first page, squeezed with funky font issues. I've tried different browsers with no luck.

Preview not working!!! Blank document appears!

My Preview stopped working! I downloaded a few PDF documents, thinking that Preview would automatically launch and open the files. Preview did launch, however, all I saw were blank white documents, nothing on them.
Next thing I did was open my Adobe Reader application and tried to read the PDF documents. Yes, it worked. I was able to see the documents.
But why is Preview not working correctly? What is happening?

Hi, Makiko. The version of Preview that came with Panther is old, and some of the features that newer PDF-creation software can build into PDF files may not be supported by it. In other words, your Preview application became static several years ago, while the PDF file format has continued to evolve. Your Preview can probably still open all the other file formats that it opened when it was new, but you may want to set things up so that all PDF files are handled by Adobe Reader instead. To do that, click once on any PDF file in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu. In the "Open with" section of the Get Info window, choose Adobe Reader from the drop-down menu, then click the Change All button. Close the Get Info window. Now all PDFs that you double-click will open in Adobe Reader.
Note that at present, the latest version of Adobe Reader that works in Panther is 7.1.0. If you have an earlier version, you may want to update it.

PDF hyperlinks not working on app

I have pasted a PDF (with working links) on a folio page (folios done in PDF format). The page is uploaded but all links on the original PDF are not working once I view it on the app.
So I'm guessing folios with pasted PDFs on them don't transfer hyperlink properties to the final app? Even thought I've made the folio in PDF format? Does this mean I have to use boxes to create hotspots over the pasted PDF? Is there a way to transfer these properties from the original PDF and skip the hotspot step?
Thanks.

You're right -- the placed PDF loses all its interactivity even when it becomes part of a PDF article. You'll need to add buttons over the PDF as you describe. Also, keep in mind that the Show/Hide Buttons action isn't supported in DPS, so you'll need to use a combination of buttons and MSOs to create hotspots, as described in this article:

Preview not working in 10.6

Preview not working in 10.6. Not able to open multiple JPG files. No problem in 10.5.7.
Any solution?

I've been following this thread and several others about this same issue with interest. Today I went to Astronomy Picture of the Day to take a look at the pix for August and downloaded eight of them. Whether it matters or not, I made a folder on my Desktop, then dragged the full picture from its "picture only" page into the folder. After I finished I opened the folder, did Command-A and double clicked the group. All eight opened in Preview and I used the down arrow to move from one to the next.
I did an upgrade install of Snow Leopard on a VERY clean install of Leopard (pretty much no third party anything had been added, certainly no haxies, Contextual Menu items, Input Managers, menu bar extras, and only a limited number of third party applications).
So unfortunately it looks like I can't investigate this issue since I can't reproduce it. Haven't seen anything in the discussions of the issue so far that lead me any theory about why some people have it and some, including me, don't.

PDF Viewer Not Working Some Scanned PDF Files.

I Have Firefox Latest Version. I Want To View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them. But Firefox PDF Viewer Not Working Scanned PDF. Other Browsers Can View It.

Same problem. Am using Firefox 24 (W7x64).

Preview Not Working - pls helpp..

Hi there,
I'm running Lion on my Macbook Pro and have a problem with Preview not working.
It seems to have almost jammed and has a document that I don't think I even have anymore in it's title bar.
The timeout / loading wheels continues to spin and I have to Force Quit.
I have tried deleting the com.apple.Preview.plist - but this hasn't done anything.
Any ideas & help greatly appreciated.

To add to this. When I open it (preview) the file that it looks like it's opening is titled 'ai.icns'. I've got no idea what this was but have seen that it's a large graphics folder. I very possibly clicked on it whilst doing some work the other day and went to shut it down quickly and now it looks like it's in a state of opening-up but without actually getting anywhere..

Search in saved preview .pdf files not working any more

When I download a .pdf file from the internet and open it in preview, the search command works ok. When this same file is saved to disk and opened again, search is not working any more. Is this a bug, or my fault. Regards Rolf

Hi,
I hope this helps...
A while back we have more than one browser running on our PC (IE, Firefox, Chrome) and we messed by how Acrobat views documents over the web.
I think that this has some relevance here, as around this time LC also started falling over previewing forms.
Now if we open LC and Acrobat is not running, the "Preview PDF" is not present or accessible. So now we fire up Acrobat before we open a form in LC Designer and the preview tab is there and functioning.
Not much of a workaround; but I am hoping that someone will have a better one!!!
Good luck,
Niall

Scan to preview not working properly

Scanning to Preview recently stopped working properly. Here are the issues:
When I scan a new document to Preview, it doesn't open in Preview automatically like it once did. I begin my scan by going to "system preferences" - "print-scan" - "open scanner".
When I click on the details section (where it says "no document loaded" above) it will open the preview window, however, the last scans made show up in the same .pdf document.
For example: I scan 1 page to Preview, then attach that page to an email and send it. Done. NEXT I scan a completely separate 2 page document the same way and when I open it up with Preview, the first (1 page scan previously made) document is added to the Preview document making it a 3 page document in error. Any suggestions to fix this?
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the HP officejet 8500 printer, and restarted my computer and it doesn't resolve it.

The HP software is crap. If is riddled through with problems and oversights. But usually you can get things to work with enough perseverence.
1. Per dturner608, you can change the mode from "document feeder" to flatbed. I did this and found that it did work that way, but I also stumbled onto something: it was working on the document feeder as well, I just didn't know it. When you close out of the scan (after it completes), go to Finder and look for your scan file (which is usually labeled "scan") and I think you will find it there. So the scanner is scanning, saving, but not giving you any clue that it's doing so.
2. There is yet another bug, which is the "one document" checkbox (it's not called exactly that), whose purpose is to make a multi-page scan into one document rather than separate pages. Once you check that, it treats every scan from that point on like they're all one document. Yes, incredibly that's true. On my Mac at least, it doesn't reset itself to "zero" with every new multi-page scan. It thinks the new scan is a continuation of the last one. The only way I found is to trick it by doing a multi-page scan (as one document), unchecking the box and running a single page scan through that I don't intend to use, and then re-checking the box for the next multi-page scan. That seems to tell the software that you are starting a brand new multi-page scan.
3. Somewhere in the midst of fiddling through the above, the HP driver decided that Preview should work again. So all of a sudden it's working - go figure. [But I couldn't "save as".] Like I said - their software is crap. I've had nothing but problems with HP printer driver software. ....Latest thing is it tells me that faxes did not go through and printing out a "fax failed" status, when in fact they did go through. I didn't discover that until I called the recipient. ....Spent a good half hour trying to figure out why it wasn't going through - but it was. Nice.

Help! InDesign interactive PDF buttons not working in Safari or on iPad

I made an infographic in Indesign for our university magazine with a QR code to link to an interactive pdf. Nothing too complicated animation wise, simply buttons that you can click on to view different parts of the graphic. However, the buttons are not working at all in Safari and on the iPhone and iPad, the buttons disapear completley. Please help.
http://bit.ly/yrTN4R?r=qr
Thanks,
Gretchen

Whether buttons work correctly in a PDF file depend entirely on what PDF reader you're using. Here are a couple of important facts:
* While corrected created interactive PDFs will display correctly in the FREE Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, they probably won't display correctly in Apple's Preview application which is probably what you're viewing in Safari.
* None of the PDF readers currently available on an iPad (e.g., iBooks, GoodReader, etc.) correctly handle interactivity like buttons on an iPad.
