PDF problems Downloading

Hi...
I just got my Playbook last night and I love but...
I wanted to read a PDF course text from my uni website. I clicked it, it asked me to save it. I saved it, nothing opened. I flick to the top browser menu, shows no downloads.
I downloaded a file manager and can't find the file anywhere...
Any ideas where my PDF has got too?

"I downloaded it on my home PC and transferred to playbook and can open..." In that case, it may be a problem that the browser has with your particular website. If you need to get more pdf files from your uni website let me know, 'cause there's a workaround you can use if you have a dropbox account. Let me know if you want to know more about it.

Problem with pdf display downloaded from application server

Hi all,
I have a problem with displaying pdf downloaded from application server (saved in BINARY MODE).
I am getting the pdf output of adobe form in FPFORMOUTPUT-PDF as rawstring back to my program and then converting that rawstring into binary form using the function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING.
Now, when I export the data to presentation server directly using cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download, the pdf is downloaded properly.
However, when I save the data to application server file by looping at the internal table obtained from SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY and using TRANSFER, and subsequently downloading the file in "unconverted format" from AL11 to my desktop, I am getting a "blank" pdf file (with the same number of pages as the one downloaded using gui_download).
I have tried different encodings during download but in those cases i get corrupted pdf message. only the default option of INTIAL value seems to work.
I am forced to believe that there is a problem in my code which saves the data to app server but I cant find any solution that is logical. Any solution to this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sasi

Error while opening PDF file downloaded from database Blob column

Hi All,
I am working on jdev 11.1.1.4.0.
In my use-case I am using filedownload Actionlistner on a link to get the PDF file stored in the database in blob field. These files are being uploaded from other use-case in adf only.
After getting the dialog box to open/save/cancel for the PDF file when i click on open then i am getting an error *'Adobe Reader could not open 'abc.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type*
or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly docoded)' for some files , and to my surprise I am able to open some files.
When I open these PDF files separately from desktop I am able to view the content of each and every file in adobe reader.
I dont know where the problem exactly lies , while uploading/downloading the file . Any ideas/thoughts to resolve this issue?
Thanks
Kanika

Thanks a lot Timo...!!!
I checked the PDF file downloaded directly from the blob column in DB, there only it is corrupted so must be the problem in uploading the file. I am checking the code line by line,, but no problem in setting the file content type,size etc.
Here is the code snippet ..
byte[] buff;
buff = new byte[(int)length]; -- Length is the file size
int bytesRead = is.read(buff);
for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
// int b = is.read();
int b = is.read();
if (b == -1)
break;
buff[i] = (byte)b;
BlobDomain blobDomian = new BlobDomain((buff));
TestVORow = (TestVORow Impl)TestVO.createRow();
if(blobDomian != null) {
TestVORow.setAttachment(blobDomian);
am.getTransaction().commit();
This seems to be Ok to me..the same issue, file is still corrupting.
Any thoughts from your side ???
Thanks
Kanika
The problem is resolved.
Changes made are instead of
InputStream is;
used ... BufferedInputStream bis ;
and after
for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
// int b = bis.read();
int b = bis.read();
if (b == -1)
break;
buff[i] = (byte)b;
bis.close(); // use this close bufferedInput Stream.
Able to open each and every file now..Thanks for your suggestions Timo and Frank.

Adobe pdf problem; the message comes up:- There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.

Dear all
I have got 3 mac computers. 2011 13 inch air, 27 inch mac and 2010 pro. latest softwares. all of them have a problem in opening pdf files;esp older files. the error message comes up 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.'
I have reinstalled reader, checked software updates etc.
Any help will be appreciated

It isn't likely to be a problem with the software. You have two different applications which have no interaction between them, neither of which can open the same group of files on three different systems. It's possible that one application has a problem, but not both or that one system has a problem, but not all three. Typically if there were software corruption, it would not show as a failure to open a specific type of file, but in opening and running the application itself.
I realise that that doesn't really help you since it doesn't resolve the poblem, but I think you need to start with a known-good pdf, preferably one you can download from an internet source, and see whether that opens. If it does, then it would confirm that the software is working properly.
For a known-good PDF to download, try one of the manuals from the support site here.

PDF problem part 2...

I guess a lot of people are having pdf problems.
When I export a pdf of a Travel Journal doc and view with adobe reader 7.0, the borders on the photos are not there.
What is the word on this?
As you can see I don't have Tiger /PDF-X.
Thanks

Not certain if this is quite the same thing, but.......
I have found problems when exporting to pdf, not when I open in Preview but when the person I am emailing the file to opens it in Acrobat, as all drop shadows are then lost, this makes professional printing difficult.
Resolved it for the moment by:
1. exporting to pdf as normal
2. using Graphic Converter which comes bundled with OSX to create a PSD file and sending that electronically. Slight problem was that the size of the file increased from 3mb to about 27mb, so had to download a free copy of Cyberduck ftp programme too. In fact saving it to jpeg was just about as good.
3. you do have to do one page at a time but it works.

PDF converter / download function failing

https://files.acrobat.com
File converts .pdf -> word
Download fails, error in Mozilla Firefox 17.0.10 'file not found'
Single file only selected
Works yesterday, not today
Yesterday, log out, log in then worked ok
But not today
Tried moving file to new folder, select single file download - still no go
But all OK ... in IE.
While figuring this out, I checked ealrier fixes - similar questions on your site unanswered for months with 80-100 views.
Clearly a common problem, appears unfixed for some time and is annoying your users.
Maybe put some material on the Files site indicating people should use MS IE over Mozilla,
and what is the work you are doing to test/fix this?

Problem downloading beta

Anyone else having a problem downloading the new Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10.1.2 Beta-3. Both IE and Firefox seem to hang at the very end for a few minutes and then I end up with a corrupt zip file (End of central directory signature not found (info-zip)).
I'm wondering if this a general problem or just one with our firewall.

I did not have any problems downloading or
installing.
However, after installation I encounter one small
problem. I cannot read the orderbooking.pdf file in
the 127.OrderBookingTutorial directory.
My Acrobat Reader v.6.0.3 reports "There was an error
opening this document. The file is damaged and could
not be repaired."Were you able to resolve the error for the PDF file?
I have a similar problem with a file I have (when I open on Acrobat V6)... However on V7 it seems to open okay...?

Problems downloading photos from iPhoto to iPod 5G classic

Until recently I had no problems downloading my photo library to my iPod (~250 photos). However, the last couple of groups of photos I've gotten I cannot transfer. I get an error message that reads "The iPod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." My last 3 rolls do not transfer to the iPod, although all the other photos do as well as all songs, movies, calendars, etc. Everything else is OK just the last 3 photo rolls. 2 of the 3 problem rolls were gathered from emails, but so were others that load fine. The last roll was downloaded from the BART website and will not transfer.
Anybody know what's up with this?

Thanks again TD
I will check on the formating when I get home, I am pretty sure that I haven't used any no-ascii characters, but will double check.
Before I download iphoto library manager, I just wanted to report an interesting experiment that I tried last night that may point in a different direction:
I keep my iphoto library on a second internal HD, so I thought I would just try making a complete copy of my iphoto library onto my desktop. Once I did this, I started up iPhoto with alt and choose the desktop version of the library and all worked perfectly, my iphoto albums showed instantly in my photo tab in itunes when I selected to sync with iphoto.
My next move was to rename my old library and then copy my desktop version into the folder where the old library is. Once I did this the problem was back again.
I have no reason to believe that it is the second disc that is causing the problem, as that is where I have always kept my itunes and iphoto libraries and they have worked without problem.
(As I am writing this, it dawned upon me that I missed one important test, I should have tried the old library after I had renamed it, but stil in the same place.)
I am now suspecting that the problem may be linked to an external drive that I addded to the system at Christmas. This was a WD My Book which I use for backup, the link being that I use the software that came with it to do autobackups that includes my iphoto library folder. I am wondering if this software does something to the folder.
Thoughts welcome.

Lightroom 5.3 problems, downloading through Creative Cloud.

Lightroom 5.3 problems, downloading through Creative Cloud. Error 1624
ERROR: Install MSI payload failed with error: 1624 - Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.
MSI Error message:
ERROR: Third party payload installer Adobe_Lightroom_x64.msi failed with exit code: 1624

this is from emma at https://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2013/12/lightroom-5-3-now-available.html
I had this same error and managed to get around it by running the .msi file that the CC app downloaded to a temp folder on my own. Steps were:
1. Find the location Adobe_Lightroom_X64.msi (in a a temp folder)
2. Run it and install (serial number was already pre-filled out)
3. Restart the CC desktop app
It then appeared as installed under ‘Your Apps’ and works as usual.

Hi I am having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and loading then I get an error message saying unable to download app. Eventually,after many attempts it works.

Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

Hi John
iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb. This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well. This might be the common thread.

"There was a problem downloading podcast. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

Hello everyone,
When I try to download the latest episode of my podcast feed, I see an exclamation mark next to the episode. When I click on the exclamation mark for more information, I see the following error message:
"There was a problem downloading <podcast_episode>. An unknown error occurred (-50). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
I was hoping that somebody might take a look at my feed and review the code for any potential problems. It can be found here:
http://www.stereogol.com/audio/wimpy_podcast.php
Important notes:
1. This is not XML code. It is an XML generator created in PHP.
2. This feed used to work fine in iTunes. I had many episodes already downloaded.
3. I began noticing the problem after upgrading to iTunes version 7 and beyond.
4. I know at least 3 other people that experienced the same problem with my feed after upgrading.
5. Upgrading to newer service packs (7.0.2 for example) has not solved the problem.
6. I ran my feed through an RSS validator. It spotted 2 errors: (1) the width of the podcast image and (2) the syntax of the <source> tag. I made corrections but they did not solve the problem. I changed them back after that.
Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.
Pedro

Try fixing up the validation issues...

Not promising it will help, but it's worth a shot.

Hi,
After upgrading to Itunes 11 it refused to play movies I had purchased through the Itunes store, even though I could see the files were there on my hard drive, and the movie covers were visible in Itunes. I discovered that the only way to get them playing was to redownload them from the Icloud. If this wasn't bad enough (I have over 200GB of movies) I am getting the following error on particular files.
There were problems downloading some purchased items.

I hope somone can help me with both problems because whilst my ISP might like to see me download 200MB of data (I pay extra when I go over 20GB in a month), I would not. Also the error problem would be usefull to correct because I would hate to lose any of my Itunes purchases. I should probably mention that I am using Windows 8 64 bit.
Thanks,
Lachlan

Hi Lachlan,
That sounds frustrating. Luckily, we have documentation on this error message:
iTunes Store: "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1583
This can happen when the connection timeout occurs while downloading purchased content from the iTunes Store. Certain types of software may also affect the way a computer sends and receives information from the internet. Here are a few examples of these types of software:
- Firewalls
- Web Accelerators
- Ad Filters
- Virus Protection Software

TS3694 Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out.

Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:
