PDF type files

I've tried downloading but I think my device does not support and cannot display PDF file formats. Iam on BB 8120 pearl. Can someone help me out here.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
PDF are supported for the time that they remain an attachment to an email -- the Attachment Service will render them on the BB. But, once detached (or placed onto the BB as you describe), they are a stand alone file and the Attachment Service no longer plays a part. Therefore, an add-on app is required in order to render the file. Some choices include the DataViz Premium ToGo suite, BeamReader, and others.
Good luck!

Saving pdf type files

I've downloaded tax forms from the IRS website but when I fill them out it won't save the filled in data on my Mac. When I go to open the filled out form I just get a blank form. However, on my PC it will save the data typed into the form. I have a feeling it is because I need to open and save the file in Adobe but that doesn't really make much sense for it to save in one format and not another. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Welcome to the Forums!
Preview (the Apple pdf viewer) has problems with some Adobe fill-in forms. Instead, use the free Acrobat Reader for the problematic pdfs:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
When you install it, it will prompt you to make it the default pdf viewer. I'd recommend not selecting that option. Instead, after the install, click on the tax form(s) with a single click in Finder, choose File menu > Get Info, and in the Open With pop-up menu select Adobe Reader.
Hope you get a refund!
Hope this helps...

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them; I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first.

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

Why do I not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
1) When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected. However when we click on the document
link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option. Why does this happen?????
2) The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email; HOWEVER, one of our co-workers does get the
check out option when clicking on the link in the email task. Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ???? We have compared our internet settings and adobe
settings to ours and found no differences.
We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI. Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
It will be better if you can descript how you
get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
Then I upload a
word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,

Try to convert doc to PDF, Unable to find "Adobe PDF resourse files, Ask help

Hi guys,
I am tryng to convert word doc file to PDF by acrobat v9.0 pro, I got the message as "Unable to find "Adobe PDF resourse files", and "Acorbat could not open 'filename' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ...". I did several times to run the installer to repair it, and remove and re-installed several times with different folders for the Adobe acrobat. I also did check the setting by "Preferences" under the item "Edit'. But nothing changed. I use it for generating and merging 1 or more doc files into a PDF file, so the micorsoft word which can make PDF file or use PDF printer is not useful for my object. Any ideas and helps? I really appreaciate anyone can give me help, Thanks a lot.
John

You don't need Acrobat for this at all.
If you select "Print..." there is a "PDF..." button in the lower left corner of the dialog. Click the button and select "Save as PDF..." or you can do "Open in Preview..." and save from there.
OS X has had the ability to generate PDFs since the 10.0 days. The whole graphics infrastructure is based on PDFs. You have no need whatsoever for Acrobat on the machine to do this.

Creating PDF from File, missing Settings

Acrobat Professional. 6.0.
I never used Acrobats "Create PDF from file", as in my MS Office 2000 there was "Acrobat - Convert to Adobe PDF" menu item with the possibility to change joboptions settings.
My current MS Office 2007 now has its own PDF convertor only, so I tried the Acrobats feature "Create PDF from file". It works, but the Settings button is grayed out with all Office file types. I didnt find a way how to access Acrobats settings, so I tried by first opening Distiller and changing the options there. Nothing happened, the output from Acrobat has always the same file size and quality. Of course I could make PDF out from Office by printing to Adobe PDF printer, but how with other file types which are not Office types.
Thanks for suggestions, i.e. for showing me what I eventually didnt consider.

As I and Bernd tried to say. AA6 does not support OFFICE 2007. The fact that you have PDF Maker from AA6 working in WORD 2007 is surprising. Since it is not a normal or supported operation, we have no idea what to tell you. It should not even be working. You are the first one I have ever heard say that they have the AA6 PDF Maker (create PDF is the way it shows up) working in OFFICE 2007!
Thus, I may misunderstand. But I am trying to tell you that none of us have experience with the configuration. Adobe will also tell you to simply upgrade. Unfortunately, that leaves you on your own to experiment. If you have questions along the way based on your observations, we would be glad to try to help, but don't expect too much.

After saving PDF static files, reader extended privileges (ARES) are lost

Hi,
Technical information:
LiveCycle 7.0 (which came with Acrobat Professional)
ARES 7.0
Reader 7.0.0, 7.0.1 and 7.0.2
Windows 2000
PDF Static file type (as we are not dynamically adding/removing document objects)
Scenario:
PDF contains javascript to change the background and border colour of form fields (e.g. node.fillColor = '255,255,170' changed to '192,192,192') to denote enabled/disabled fields.
PDFs are reader extended, so, user should be able to enter and save data on the documents multiple times.
Problem:
Reader extension rights of PDFs were lost. For example, in Reader, open document, update/enter data, save, and close. Do this multiple times and make sure one of the form fields background colour changes. When the document is re-opened its reader extension privileges are lost and user is no longer able to update/enter data on the document.
This worked with our pilot forms (using AcroForm and ARES 6.0)
ADOBE Explanation:
The underlying XFA document is changed when the form field's background property was changed, hence, it is no longer a static form and its reader extended rights has changed.
Resolution:
PDF's file type changed from Static to Dynamic. Some logically driven functions will have to be changed/duplicated (e.g. calling enabling/disabling function(s) from the documents' docReady event).
Have to use Reader 7.0.2 to be able to open, update, save, and close document multiple times without loosing reader extended rights.
Hope this helps others
Regards
Jen

Hi I think I am experiencing with similar issue , I am trying to do dynamic form filling using java. For this I created template wtih 4 text fields using adbobe Life Cycle designer 7.0. When I try to populate these fields through my java program, I am getting the below error Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1 at com.cete.dynamicpdf.merger.x.a(Unknown Source) at com.cete.dynamicpdf.merger.x.<init>(Unknown Source) at com.cete.dynamicpdf.merger.PdfDocument.j(Unknown Source) at com.cete.dynamicpdf.merger.PdfDocument.<init>(Unknown rce) at com.cete.dynamicpdf.merger.PdfDocument.<init>(Unknown Source) at com.cete.dynamicpdf.merger.MergeDocument.<init>(Unknown Source) at CitiAcroFormFill.main(CitiAcroFormFill.java:26) I think the template had saved with Cross reference .when I use designer 7.0. How do I create and save my template as static pdf templates without having cross reference stuff?

Opening word, excel, pdf, jpeg files as attachments on iphones

I've always been able to open word, excel, pdf & jpeg files as attachments on my iphone 5. But recently, everytime I tried to open one of these, the file image turned up all grey, and in the case of jpeg files, it just kept on loading, loading & loading, but never finished loading ... It seems like this happened after I updated to IOS 6.1.4 recently... This is just a guess. Could anyone help me with this? Thank you.

Srinivas,
Thank you for your reply. It helped me get to a solution. In essence I needed to copy the Unix file to an internal table and then save it to the end user's PC file. Then I am able to open the document / attachment.
I created a new function to:
1) call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_browse, to ask the end user to pick a PC directory to copy the Unix file attachment to.
2) Then using the following code, copy the Unix file (as determined by application or user) to an internal table. Note that the line is not limited by a certain length.
types: begin of t_tab,
 line type string,
 end of t_tab.
data: k_wa_itab type t_tab,
 t_it_itab type standard table of t_tab.
open dataset v_unixfilename for input in binary mode.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
 raise unix_filename_read_error.
endif.
do.
 read dataset v_unixfilename into k_wa_itab-line.
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
 exit.
 endif.
 append k_wa_itab to t_it_itab.
enddo.
close dataset v_unixfilename.
3) Using call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download, save the contents of the internal table to the PC directory from step 1 above.
4) Open the Attachment from the end users PC via:
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
It seems like a long way to get this to work, but it is working. If there is a better way maybe someone else can fill in the blanks. Ideally a tool to read and open from a file from Unix without using the cl_gui_frontend_services would be ideal.

Acrobat Reader DC one source of pdf attached files

I have a MacBook Pro and found that since updating to Acrobat Reader DC there is one source of pdf attached files that do not open (I just get a black screen).
I do not have this problem with my iPad nor with an iMac also running the same reader.
I cannot find any 'switches' that will resolve this problem. I get an error message saying that Acrobat Reader DC could not open "File reference" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. This cannot be the case as this file opens on other computers so it has to be localised to my MacBook Pro. Other pdf files open normally and I am at a lost in deciding as to what is going wrong and how to rectify.

If the same attachment can be viewed successfully on other devices, then it must get corrupted during the download on that one machine.
People should really stop sending e-documents as attachments, it is much safer using a file sharing service such as Acrobat.com - upload and share the document, then send the download link via email.

Acrobat XI PDF maker files missing

Have just installed XI. I run Win7 and 32bit Office 2010. PDF export ribbon in showing in word and you can create pdf from this.
The problem arises if you use the right click 'create pdf' function. More importantly, when using the merge multiple files to PDF function. In both cases it works ok with excel but fails on word (in the case of the merge multiple file function all other types f file go in but the word file fails)
I get he message 'PDF maker files missing'. It suggests a repair that I have tried but that doesn't help.
I have checked the COM add in isn't disabled. It's not.
Just can't get this working. Help!!!

Is it that none of the right click options are not working (Create PDF, Create PDF and Email or Combine only)?
Try converting the word file by dragging and dropping the file to Acrobat interface/icon.
Are you able to convert the word document to PDF from Acrobat Ribbon (Acrobat-> Create PDF) from within the word application?
Is the issue with a particular word file or happening with all the word files?

PDF via file to file

Hi experts,
I have now searched quite long in this forum to find some help for my problem but so far I did not succeed.
My scenario is simple: one file sender to pick up a pdf file and on the other hand a file receiver to write this pdf document to another directory.
Regarding this blog [/people/william.li/blog/2006/09/08/how-to-send-any-data-even-binary-through-xi-without-using-the-integration-repository|/people/william.li/blog/2006/09/08/how-to-send-any-data-even-binary-through-xi-without-using-the-integration-repository] this seems to work without IR and much efford. I have created the scenario as described and the pdf file is getting picked up and posted forward to my target directory. However, when I open the pdf document there are only cryptical signs. My guess is that I need to configure my file receiver to handle pdf documents but this is not described in the blog. I hope I can use payload swap beans for pdf but I am totally lost with this issue as I have never worked with them. I already tried this blog [/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step|/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step] but it seems it does not help to replace xml by pdf. Can anyone give me a short guide how to use the payload swap with pdf? That would be great.
Regards.
Oliver.

You definitely need no payload swap or whatever bean for this scenario. I have done the same (PDF 2 PDF via file), and it works without problem. The type must be binary, as explained by others. Just route if through PI, as described in that blog.
Are you sure that the incoming file is still correct ? How does this file come to PI ? Can it be that someone forgot to set binary in an FTP transfer which sends the file to PI ?
How different are the source and target filesregarding file size ?

"Adobe PDF" resource file

I am "climbing the walls" on this one - When I create document (book) in InDesign and print to PDF I get the following error:
Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Adobe PDF\Settings\Adobe PDF Converter.joboptions.
Do you want to run this installer in repair mode?
I have been creating these same documents in InDesign and printed to PDF for months - I had even just, 5 - 10 minutes, before created this document successfully - but then all of a sudden BOOM it won't work.
I have tried researching this problem but haven't found anything that works, HELP!!!
Thank you,
Reba

I had a similar problem printing to Adobe PDF (as the default printer) and the error was exactly as described above.
Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Adobe PDF\Settings\Adobe PDF Converter.joboptions.
Do you want to run this installer in repair mode?
Looking for this folder to see if the file was there, I could not see "Documents" in All Users. However when I tried to create a folder Documents, the error said it already existed. So, the folder structure exists, just not visible. Next, using a command prompt I navigated all the way to the Settings folder described above and looked to see if the Adobe PDF Converter.joboptions file was there. It was missing.
I took the advice of Peter Speir, find any .joboptions file, rename it and copy it to this location.
Copying to hidden folders has to be done at a Command prompt. If your not sure how to do this...
1. Copy a .joboptions file to c:\. I chose Standard.joboptions.
2. Rename to the file name it expects, in this case, Adobe PDF Converter.joboptions
3. Open a command Prompt (type cmd at Start, Run). Then navigate to the Root C:\ with this command
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users>cd c:\
4. Paste string below (or one that matches the location of the file you are missing) at the Command prompt. (To paste into the command prompt in XP, click the upper left corner of the command prompt window, select Edit from the context menu, and Paste).
(the below is actually all one line though here it may appear to be two lines).
C:\>copy ado*.joboptions C:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1\DOCUME~1\ADOBEP~1\Settings
You could probably use the full folder names, i.e. instead of DOCUME~1, use Documents and Settings. I didn't try it. But if that fails, the above does work.
Might help, can't hurt. Worked for me!

Make a PDF/A File

How can i make a PDF/A File from a "normal" PDF File with Acobat XI Standart ?

Acrobat Standard cannot validate or conform PDF/A files, so you cannot directly convert a random PDF into a PDF/A file - but you can "print" to Distiller and create a file that should pass verification. You'll lose all your interactivity, bookmarks, tags, etc. so it's only an option for type B files.

How to create a webservice with return type File

Hi All,
I have a class Letter and I am trying to expose viewReport as webservice.
In Jdeveloper -> Business teir -> webservices -> Java web service and I have selected my method i.e. viewReport
Now it throws error "The return type java.io.File of method viewReport can not be serialized into XML"
I unserstood the issue but How can I achive this in JDeveloper
public class Letter {
public Letter() {
super();
public File viewReport(String name) {
File folder = new File("C:\\APPS\\root\\pdf\\10052011");
File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles();
return listOfFiles[0];
}

You can't as File is nor serializable. It won't make sense as you would try to give a handle to a file on the server hosting the service to a remote system.
Can you explain the use case in more detail?
Timo
