PDF trouble-solving.

I had troubles viewing and manipulating PDF´s in Safari browser.
After downloading a PDF document, and then fiddeling with buttons/options in the browser-window, I lost access to the document, and the browser-window froze.
Just the browser "return page"-button; where available. A reload of the document returned a blank page.
Adobe Reader manual did not give me fixes for this, so I turned to MacUpdate.
At http://www.macupdate.com/ I found 2 options resolving my problem;
"PDF Browser Plugin 2.2.3" and "Safari-Display or Download PDF files 1.2".
The former is really a treat. Both is free for personal use. I have asked the developer of the former one; where to donate. No reply from him yet. I will further that information if it´s possible, at this site.
I suggest all personal users of these plugins honour the developers.
These plugins, both fixes PDF-viewing-issues in Safari, and maybe other browsers.
"PDF Browser Plugin 2.2.3" has more options, but "Safari-Display or Download PDF files 1.2", fixes your basic PDF-view-problems.
Hope this info will be of use, for those stranded between mind, PDF´s, keyboard and screen.

Browser?
Without knowing these, it's all guesses on our end.

General Oracle Database Performance trouble solving best practice Steps

We use Oracle 11g DB on Windows2008R2 as web application backend DB.
We have peformance trouble in that DB.
I would like to know General Oracle Database Performance trouble solving best practice Steps.
Is there any good general best practice document for performace trouble solving in the internet ?

@Girish Sharma: I disagree with this. Many people say things like your phrase "..first identify the root cause and then move forward" but that is not the first step. Any such technique is nothing more than looking at some report, finding a number that you don't like, and attempting to "fix" it. Some people use that supposedly funny term "compulsive tuning disorder" (first used by Gaja Krishna Vaidyanatha) to describe this approach (also advocated in this topic by @Supriyo Dey). The first step must be to determine what the problem is. Until you know that, all those reports you mentioned (which, remember, require EE plus pack licences) are useless.
@teradata0802, your best practice starts by finding the problem. Is it, for example, that the overnight batch jobs don't finish until lunchtime? A screen takes 10 seconds to refresh, and your target is one second? A report takes half an hour, but you need to run it every five minutes? Determine what business function is causing your client to lose money because it is too slow. Then investigate what it is doing, how, and why. You have to begin by focussing on the problem, not by running database-wide reports..

Printing and PDF trouble

I've been trying to complete a document and wish to place it in pdf format. I haven't manipulated the default layout. The trouble is that while the font and the layout look fine on the screen; when its printed or saved in pdf it comes out as though it's in 75% view with enormous margins on the left and top of the documents. Enlarging the font doesn't seem to help.
If it was a printer problem, for the record the printer is a hp deskjet 940c, the problem shouldn't carry over to the saved pdf.
Any suggestions as to what's wrong or what I'm not doing?
Thanks

Hi, Bigcat,
It sounds like you have "Comments" showing. Hide Comments and that should fix it.

Has the issue with font licences and embedding fonts in a dynamic PDF been solved?

Hi all,
Can I check if this issue has been fixed in LiveCycle yet please?
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3724557
Issue is that although LC lets you specify what typeface should be used for the caption/value in a form, it cannot discern the corresponding licencing requirements.
So in the case where even though a particular font isn’t used for any editable information – being set as the caption only – LC requires a font permitting embedding for editing, otherwise the font is not embedded at all and therefore is substituted for another typeface on a system where the font isn’t available.
Seems LC needs it's embedding requirements to catch up with the usage of type in a dynamic PDF, as in cases where the fonts bundled with Reader or system fonts aren't suitable, such as when a visual standard needs to be met, the user may not be overly keen on paying a significant financial penalty for editable font licences.
Thanks
James

Hi James,
I don't think that it the case at all. If the font has a license for enbedding then that is what happens:
I accept that some fonts come with expensive "embedding for editing" licenses, but Adobe's implementation is in line with the font industry's expectations.
I don't think this is a "bug" that will be fixed.

PDF trouble - images not displaying

Hi!
When I create a PDF file from Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, and view them on my Iphone 3G (normally as an email attachment sent to clients), the images do not show up ie: there are blank spaces. However, PDF's viewed from other people or in Safari DO display images - so I suspect my conversion from Illustrator/Photoshop to PDF might be the culprit. I normally just use "File" - "Save As" - "PDF".
Have searched on the Internet but cannot find a solution. Any advice/suggestions?
Thx!

I had problems with Pages 2 a few times with particular images (scanned photos imported after editing with GIMP, I think) not showing up correctly in Adobe Reader (Preview was fine) – but only when the PDF had been exported from Pages using one of the many settings available for PDF making. On another export setting the same image would show up OK.
It wasn't consistent: other images prepared the same way as the problem image were fine, and the export settings (Better in the first case, Best in the second) where problems occurred were different.
My guess had been that certain photos were compressed by Pages/OSX in a way that was problematic for Adobe, but the instance where the Best setting was used seemed to bely that, since presumably under Best the images are not modified.
In each case I was able to export the PDF a different way - using the ColorSync filters - getting pretty much the same compressed size but with no problems with the images.
So, I always make sure I test my PDFs on different computers with versions of Adobe Reader before sending them out, either to a printer or for posting on a website. But that's only happened to me twice: usually there's no problem.
The other thing that has caused a problem with the printer (opening my PDF in InDesign) was a photo upon which I had multiple transparent layers of overlapping text. It was easily sorted by using a single layer. But others have had problems with layers/transparencies rendered in PDFs in Pages in the past.
There are many ways to export as a PDF or another image format, though. Open Applications/Utilities/ColorSync and look in the Help menu. Also in Preview, if you have Leopard. The Save As... menu in Preview 4.0 gives the following options, as well as containing all the ColorSync filters if you choose Format: PDF -
Format: GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, Microsoft BMP, OpenEXR, PDF, Photoshop, PICT, PNG, SGI, TGA, TIFF
So yes, there is a way to send the PDF as a TIFF if you really want to.

PDF Troubles

     I created a 68 page document in InDesign. Each page is pulled in from Photoshop or Illustrator so the total file size is big. I cannot PDF it as one complete document; only in seperate files. If I try to do the whole thing I get "Failed to Export PDF"
     This seems to be a memory issue because if I reboot my computer in between each time I create another PDF file I am able to include more pages in the file. (Also, depending on the size of the pages I can put more or less pages in each PDF file.) The funny part about this is that I have 4 GB of memory on my computer. I brought it into the repair shop and the guy spent 3 days on it and concluded that this is an Adobe issue not a computer problem. I tested this by trying it on a different computer and got the same results.
     I am working on CS3 with Windows XP. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thank you in advance.
B.B.

Yes it is a memory issue, probably associated with virtual memory and not physical memory and can also be associated with how you put your document together. There may also be some “memory leaks” in the libraries used by InDesign (those particular problems appear to be resolved in InDesign 6 = CS4).
I have experienced similar problems in the past, but with files much larger than yours.
You indicated that each page was pulled in from Photoshop or Illustrator. How did you “pull them in?” If you did copy and paste or placed them via embedding them into the file, you might retry generating the document using links. Using links uses InDesign's memory space much more efficiently and the PDF creation process is much less likely to run out of memory. It also yields an InDesign document that by itself is relatively small.
Let us know how you placed that content and we'll try to help you further.
          - Dov
PS: With Windows XP 32-bit versions, anything more than 3 gigabytes (and possibly less than that) will actually be effectively ignored by the operating system and unavailable to your programs.

Simple and reliable method to preform an OCR on a pdf? [SOLVED]

I have Acrobat at work which does a wonderful job preforming an OCR (optical character recognition) on scanned pdf files so that one can do keyword searching within the pdf. I have spent the past hour following-up various guides on the 'net at large which do not work for me. Can someone recommend a simple and reliable method to accomplish this?
Last edited by graysky (2014-03-30 13:50:34)

I can second OCRFeeder. It can use different OCR engines, and the application doesn't hide the complexity of the options that these engines accept, so with a little fine tuning you should get reasonable results. For Latin text, that is. For non-Latin or mixed scripts, all FOSS engines are essentially useless (I've tried long and hard to get Japanese OCR to work).
To be honest, I myself only use Acrobat now because it's the only thing that produces consistently excellent results. For example, text selection will often not work smoothly because the FOSS tools don't group the text objects properly into lines or paragraphs.

PDF trouble

I can open my PDF documents but they will not stay open; after about 10 seconds they close on their own. I've downloaded update from your web page but nothing has fixed the problem.

Three things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

You can't edit PDF files in Adobe Reader. It's a reading app.

Openbox 3.2 Installation Troubles --solved

I'm using widget, and I was not able to startX after configuring it (suing X-configure) the error was mouse-related. I read some of the documentation, and saw the recommendation to update openbox.
So i download openbox-3.2.tar.gz, and decompress it. I then cd into the dir, and type ./configure. all is well, it tells me to type make. I do, and i get an error message.
"make: *** [all-recusive] Error 1"
There was more, but it would be a hassle to type out, just ask if you need more, and this isnt just a basic problem.
edit: for any newbies who find this: in your XF86Config file, change the device option under the mouse section to be /dev/psaux, if you are using a ps/2 mouse.

Install "ON TO" USB troubles [SOLVED]

Hi guys,
New member here and first Arch experience.
I have fooled around with several Linux distros for the past year or so but I have decided that I am not happy with any of them. Most of them try to be as plug and play as possible, but I have found that the easiest ones to install are the most bloated and unreliable.
Using Arch would be an educational experience as much as building my own system that I can rely on. That being said, I am in learning mode so please be patient.
I want to install and build Arch onto a USB key. Most of the posts that I have found in this forum are in regards to having a USB installation key, or being able to install FROM a USB key.
My goal is to have a running OS ON my USB flash drive as I typically use this between two pc's. Plus its just cool. I currently have Fedora successfully running like this but its a little shaky.
So far I have Arch installed on my key, but when I try to boot, root is not recognized. I have followed the wiki to the letter, but still no joy.
In the wiki tutorial it was stated that on booting that root would most certainly not be recognized and to edit mkinitcpio.conf and add "USB" to the HOOKS line, Then rebuild, which I have done. Still no joy.
Does anybody here have a usb flash drive with Arch installed on it that can give a little insight on this?
FYI installation was done via LiveCD.
Thanks in advance.
Scott

Thanks Firecat,
From what I have read this should be persistent as well, but if this doesn't work out I will indeed check larch out.
I have had some success in my problem.
I should have checked this out before posting but "usb" wasn't in the hooks line of mkinitcpio.conf like I thought. The kernel image wasn't built as I had thought. When I tried to do it again it would fail and complain that the "kernel26.img" file did not excist on the boot folder, but I verified that it did.
I did a reinstall and edited the line in the configuration portion of the installation. It now works fine.
I am still puzzled about the complaint of the kernel26.img not being recognized in the boot file.
Nevertheless it is working now.
For those who might be researching a USB install and come across this post, I advise doing the configuration prior to the install rather than after as per the wiki instructions. It makes for a more pleasant experience.
Thanks again.
I will mark the subject of this thread as [SOLVED]

PDF trouble after completing form and sending to coworker - arrives blank

I've entered information into the form and sent it but the receiving party can't see the information that has been entered. If you click on each box it appears but prints out blank... All info fully visible on my mac when I view it. What am I doing wrong or missing in sending it to others?

What program are you using to complete the form?
If it is MacIntosh's "Preview" there is a well known issue with this program causing a minor corruption of form fields.
Script to Fix Mac OSX Preview.app Form Fill and Save
Or your co-worker could export the form data to an FDF file and then import that exported file and Acrobat will reprocess the fields and correct the corrupted from fields.

Update trouble [SOLVED]

Hi all,
Today I tried 'pacman -Syu' and got this message:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
filesystem: /bin exists in filesystem
filesystem: /sbin exists in filesystem
filesystem: /usr/sbin exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I certainly read https://www.archlinux.org/news/binaries … ervention/, but to be honest I don't understand what it is exactly I have to do. I think I need a more 'step by step' guide...
I first did 1):
[ko@PhenomX4 ~]$ pacman -Qqo /bin /sbin /usr/sbin | pacman -Qm -
[ko@PhenomX4 ~]$ paclist core | awk ' { print $1 } ' | pacman -Ql - | grep ' /s\?bin/\| /usr/sbin/'
[ko@PhenomX4 ~]$ paclist extra | awk ' { print $1 } ' | pacman -Ql - | grep ' /s\?bin/\| /usr/sbin/'
[ko@PhenomX4 ~]$ paclist community | awk ' { print $1 } ' | pacman -Ql - | grep ' /s\?bin/\| /usr/sbin/'
[ko@PhenomX4 ~]$
All with empty result, so I guess that's o.k.?
2) I don't understand. How do I find "packages in IgnorePkg or IgnoreGroup" and where they have files?
and 3) gives this result:
ko@PhenomX4 ~]$ find /bin /sbin /usr/sbin -exec pacman -Qo -- {} + >/dev/null
ko@PhenomX4 ~]$
So as far as I can see I don't have any packages to fix?
But after 'pacman Su' I still get the same message:
filesystem: /bin exists in filesystem
filesystem: /sbin exists in filesystem
filesystem: /usr/sbin exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
All help would be appreciated!

New BIND server, client trouble [solved]

I am learning BIND and have a local machine set up as a caching server and a server for the local network.
I was having problems with other machines on the local network not being able to see the server. The "listen-on" entry in named.conf only had 127.0.0.1 in it, so I changed this to:
listen-on {127.0.0.1; 192.168.7.0/24;};
Now the other machines on the network can find the server and resolve local network names correctly. However, the linux machines can't seem to resolve names on the Internet. If I ping www.google.com, I get an "Unknown host" error. I also can't run pacman sucessfully, I get an error:
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from distro.ibiblio.org : No address record
for all servers. I found another post with the suggestion of adding
XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget -4 --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
to pacman.conf, but that just gave different errors.
There are some windows xp machines on the network, and they seem to be able to ping fine.
The server can successfully resolve Internet names, and can successfully run pacman.
I did try adding an external nameserver and reordering my resolv.conf file as suggested in this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=89334
but then I again can't resolve the other local machines.
Now I'm just guessing......
Taking out the "search mylocal.lan" line from resolv.conf and replacing it with "domain mylocal.lan" allows me to resolve local and Internet names, but not to run pacman.

You have not defined allow-recursion.
E.g. snippets from my BIND config:
acl trusted { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.5.16; };
options {
listen-on-v6 { none; };
listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.5.15; };
// Allows only specific hosts to use the DNS server
allow-query { trusted; };
// Lock down recursive queries too, to be on the safe side
allow-recursion { trusted; };
