PDF View "Render document failed"

I've done quite a bit of looking around, and can't seem to find any fix for preventing a "render document failed" error message when opening certain pdfs (it looks like the discussion of this problem has really died down over the past year or so). I contacted HP's Palm support, but all they did was tell me that it was a known problem and that the engineering department was working on it. When I asked for possible work-arounds, they didn't have any (other than suggesting a pdf-to-word online converter, which does not allow my necessary zooming or landscape rotation). They also couldn't explain why the new TouchPad can open multiple pdfs at once (of different types- even pdfs with comic book graphics), but the Palm Pre Plus can't.
Or is there some trick to manipulating the pdf so that it will render? I've tried reducing the file size, flattening the images, removing metadata, making it compatible with all sorts of earlier versions of Acrobat, and making it a "read only" file, but nothing's seemed to work. A 28 MB file will open just fine and allow me to read ALL of it (along with zooming and the landscape rotation using PDF Redux), but another 8 MB file gives me that "Render document failed" error message. I'd appreciate any suggestions (or a fully functional pdf viewer on this "business" smartphone)!
Post relates to: Pre Plus p100una (AT&T)

I can't help, but raise another question...
Others, is there another pdf reader in the App Catalog that he could try?

Build-in PDF Viewer FF19 render hyperlink incorrect

There seems to be a render issue when opening this PDF: http://teachersresourcestoday.com/content/uploads/mypdf4.pdf
The first link, "Click me vndev60" is rendered correct. Its anchor begin with "http://".
The second link, "Click mpilink.asp" with anchor "mpi-link.asp?type=Page&PageCode=..." is render wrong. I saw that PDF Viewer render an <a> tag with href is empty.
Expected : "http://teachersresourcestoday.com/content/uploads/mpi-link.asp?type=Page&PageCode=..."
The same issue with rest of links.

I see, the PDF Viewer does not understand relative links in a PDF.
For people like me who prefer to open PDFs in the stand-alone Adobe Reader, the links are relative to the temp folder in which the file has been stored temporarily, which doesn't work either.
It sounds like yet another feature to add to the viewer!

I am trying to use a interactive form and it says "If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document." This is a IRS form and has worked before.

That means you are looking at the form online with a browser that uses its own (incompatible) PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
Either
download the form to your local disk and fill it from there

Drag them to your iTunes library. Download the free iBooks app. Select the PDFs you want too sync in the iTunes books pane. The iBooks app will show your books collection or your PDFs collection as you select.

How to make firefox open a URL in a PDF document which is loaded using Adobe PDF viewer in firefox to always in a new browser window ?

Hi
I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF viewer.
Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new firefox browser window ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sen Lee

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Hi,
It sounds like you have a special type of form called a "dynamic XFA form".
Currently, Adobe Reader mobile products (Reader for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support dynamic XFA forms that are authored with Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
The message is displayed when a dynamic content is not supported by a PDF viewer. As far as I know, no PDF viewers on iOS support dynamic XFA forms.
Please use the desktop version of Adobe Reader on a Windows or Mac computer to view and fill out XFA forms.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

You are viewing this document in PDF/A mode.

In the latest version of Adobe Reader the message "You are viewing this document in PDF/A mode." is displayed very prominently when viewing PDF/A files.
While fairly trivial if you are spending some time with the document this can be quite a nuisance in my situation where I'm proofing a large number of single page PDF/A files.
I have a web based application that allows me to page through them quite rapidly, but this message eats up considerable space on my screen and means I have to adjust zoom more often than otherwise would be the case.
So my question is, is there a way to disable this message, i.e. just show the blue "i" button that can be used to toggle the message on and off. Obviously toggling it off for each individual file does me little good.
I did find instructions to simply disable PDF/A mode, but that is not what I want, I would like to proof them in PDF/A mode, just get rid of the message. After all I'm well aware that I'm viewing the documents in PDF/A mode and need no further reminders.

Found it! Thank you!

I am trying to down load an HMRC file ChV1 which I believe is interactive (my layman's description - I have to fill it in) but I get the message ...

But I have the latest version - Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10. Can anyone help, please?

It may be that the "PDF form" is an XFA form created by LiveCycle Designer. These forms are wrapped in PDF and to view/use one must use Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
BUT -- today one can use browsers that provide their own built-in PDF reader that cannot 'service' XFA forms.
Google Chrome is one of those browsers. So, don't bother with trying to view/use/do any thing to - with PDFs when using Chrome.
Save the PDF to your computer's HDD.
Now, open the PDF with Adobe Reader XI (fully updated of course). Process the form.
Be well...

Of course, the message is never replaced by the form. I have upgraded to the latest version at least 3 times since I've had this message. Twice the message came up that this was already installed in my computer. This evening it updated something, but I STILL cannot open my form.
Can anyone help? This is beginning to be time sensitive so I need to figure it out SOON!

After purchasing the Export PDF Online software when I attempt to perform a "File/Save As" when viewing a document on the web it locks up windows explorer. I receive "FIle Save As - Not Responding"

I think you may be correct. It is coincidental with my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10.
I have installed IE 11 (11.0.9600.17690)
It may be an Adobe Reader problem in that the "tools/file save as" dialog is completely empty. No local directories are displayed for saving to. When I try to Close(X) the "File Save As" box it pops up a message box on top that says "Adobe Reader is not Responding" It locks up all of my IE windows, not just the one with the PDF doc.
I need to go go Task Manager and stop the IE task. All my browser windows are then closed.
That is the only way to recover from the "Adobe Reader is Not Responding" message.

When printing web based .pdf or regular .pdf I get message "This document failed to print"

When printing web based .pdf or regular .pdf I get message "This document failed to print". I've ran the HP Diagonistic tool and no errors are found. I've gotten the same message on many different .pdf's so I don't believe it is a margin issue.

Are the static IP addresses inside the DHCP range? If so, move them to ones outside the range.
Also, have you set the IP address in the printers' embedded web pages (via IP address in a browser) to match the ones set in the router?

Installed Acrobat XI but getting message from a website that I need "a later version of PDF viewer to view full contents of this document". How to fix this?

THe message is misleading. Save the file to your desktop, even though all you see is the message. Then, open the saved file in Reader.

Document Failed to Load Error When Scanning a PDF

Every time I try to scan a document as a Pdf, I get a failed to load message. The scanner works fine if I use the JPEG setting. I've tried reloading Adobe Acrobat, but it doesn't solve the problem.
Any suggetions?

The PDF file does not appear to be saved or properly scanned. Normally, the scan ends and a preview appears in a window that can be saved. In the case of PDF, the preview doesn't appear. It's as if the document has not been scanned at all.
If I try to scan a document using a JPEG setting everything works fine. That is the preview document appears, which can then be saved.
Very perplexing.
D.
