PDF View Search Find Problems

FInd/search function in PDF view application still not fixed in WebOS 1.4.  In PDF View application:
1) The field where you enter something to search/find is hidden by the name of the PDF document title.  It doesn't go away even when you start typing, so you can't see what you are typing.
2) The count of the number of matches found looks greyed out and very hard to read.
3) The up/down arrows in the top right next to the count of matches does not work.  Shouldn't they take you to each consecutive match?
4) Why doesn't it position you to page in the document where the first match is found?   It shows the page number at the bottom, but since the up/down arrows at the top right don't work, I have to click the forward page arrow and then the backward page arrow to jump to the page containing the first match.

I don't know how to point Adobe to a certain printer, but the printer we are using does have that paper tray size.
So just to add some more clarification, its BO XI R2 and:
If I run the report in Deski, then save it as a PDF on my desktop, it is formatted properly, no problems at all, and no need to point Adobe to any printers.If I view the same report in Infoview it's split into two pages unless I chose "View -> Draft Mode". If I chose "Page Mode" it's split on two pages, if I chose "PDF Mode" (for printing) it's split into two pages and that is a problem....

  • PDF Viewer Search Problem

    Do they plan on fixing this any time soon?  It is almost impossible to search since the title bar covers up the search bar.

    Any help? hint? :(

    Here's a hint. Find out why whatever you are using to view the .PDF file can't search for the unicode characters you placed in the created .PDF file.
    Also have you tried using Microsofts Character Map tool to copy the Unicode character you want to search for into the search box of the .PDF viewer you are using in order to search for the same unicode character to see if that works? And how are you entering
    a unicode character to search for into the search box of the .PDF viewer you are using? What happens if you select a unicode character in the document and paste that into the search box of the .PDF viewer then attempt to search for that character?

  • Pdf view : jumping back problem ?

    Hello. I've been having an issue lately where i view pdfs on Acrobat.com, and when i drag the sliders up, the page first jumps to its top, then slides normally from where it should be.
    Correct behaviour while dragging sliders to the bottom : pages flow one after the other smooth.
    Same thing is awaited the other way. But here, if i drag fast, my window will "blink" with a subliminal of the full page i'm reading...
    who can i contact to send this as a private file (document is not mine and can't share on an open forum, and i didn't find a bug form)

    Hello Franck,
    Thanks for posting. We're investigating the issue you report with the PDF viewer; we've seen something like this before, so I'm confident that we'll be able to find a fix for you. Could you tell us what browser and operating system you're using, we will reply with further instructions.
    Thank you for your patience!

  • C7 viewing search details problem

    Hi, 
     i just bought C7 and i really find it good device except things that is not user friendly
    now its a GPS problem
    in the search results list, i  cant view the details of each items " streets, address .... ", until i touch it and one touch means select this item and get back to the map.. so i have to view many search results until i find the one that i really want, or view them on map one by one and the next button on the map is very small and it makes me touch any away point that select another place that i really didnt mean
    ... its really not helpful .. i hope to fix that as soon as you can ... i am losing time because of that .. and it makes the map harder to use... i have to hold down every item until i read the address to find which one that i really want ... please help 
    Thanks
    Thanks

    You have to keep your finger on one place and keep it pressed and continue to scroll down, that way, you don't  have to open the map again.

  • Search / Find problem with Mac Notes

    The 'command f' function is greyed out on my new version of 'Mac Notes' that comes with Lion. As per the image below. why can't i use that 'Find' function?
    There is another search function in Notes
    but this just does a broad brush search to see if any of my notes contain a word and identifes the title of the notes but it doesn't identify where the words are within the note. i have some notes with thousands of words so this isn't very helpful.
    does anyone know how i can use the traditional 'Find' function in Notes? or perhaps some free software that i can use instead of notes?
    why they changed it i don't know? i've been using mac for 13 years and some things are just getting less useful and intuitive. 
    Thanks
    Shane

    I agree.   Still no resolution to this problem and the integration of icloud makes looking at alternatives less appealing. 

  • How to make Preview the default pdf viewer in Safari

    I installed Adobe Reader and now Safari uses Adobe as the pdf viewer. How do I revert to the superior product of Preview as Safari's default pdf viewer. Finder still defaults to Preview.

    Quit Safari.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type of copy / paste:   /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go then move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.

  • FF 19 and PDF viewer issue

    So the latest version of Firefox 19 comes with a built in PDF viewer.
    The problem that I found is that this viewer at its present time does NOT show fillable fields ina PDF, or let the user type into these fillable fields, or show the electronic print and instructions buttons we place at the top of most of our PDF "forms".
    Ex: http://www.tmcc.edu/financialaid/downloads/forms/1213/FINAConsortiumAgree1213.pdf
    This form should show buttons at the top and let a user fill it out. It does with the Reader plugin. In FF 19's built in PDF viewer I cant seem to do anything.
    We presently make all our PDF forms fillable, so if this is an issue, hopefully a fix or update can be found.

    This new viewer was an ugly surprise. I DO NOT want pdfs to open in Firefox. I want FIrefox to give me the option to open or download. If I select open, I want it to open in my copy of Acrobat (not the Reader), and certainly not inside Firefox. Can anybody help me?

  • Converting JPG to PDF causes Fit Width problem

    Hello,
    I'm using Acrobat 8 Pro on Vista, Core 2 Duo, 3 GB ram, plenty of storage space, etc...
    I have about two hundred JPG images (500 to 700 KB each) that I want to convert and combine into a single PDF document. I clicked on Combine Files, Add Folder, selected Larger File Size and continued from there to create the PDF. But the resulting PDF document has a problem when viewed in Reader or any other PDF viewer. The problem is, when I switch to Fit Width view, only the first 3 pages/images fit the width of the screen. All the following pages/images actually get smaller than a Fit Page view.
    Does anybody know why this is happening?
    Thanks.

    Are you viewing the images in "Continuous" mode (you can see more than one
    page in the window at a time)? The JPEG images may be of different
    dimensions, and in continuous mode the page width zoom is set by the width
    of the first visible page. Changing out of continuous mode will allow the
    zoom to change for each page width as you scroll through the document.

  • PDF viewer will not search

    The new Firefox PDF viewer will not correctly search the text of PDF's which have text recognized. I switched the view of the document over to Acrobat and was immediately able to search as required. Can you fix?

    Seems to be working for me.
    Does this happen with all PDF files?
    The latest version of the PDF viewer is available as an extension and does a better job than the 0.6.143 version shipped with Firefox 19 in a lot of cases.
    You can find the latest version of the PDF Viewer (pdfjs) extension here:
    *PDF Viewer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/pdfjs/
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Adobe PostScript 3 problem with 'search' & 'find'?

    We have a new Ricoh copier with Adobe PostScript 3 installed. When we scan a document as a .pdf and send it to an email address, the receiver gets it, opens it ok, but then can't 'search' or find' or copy anywhere on the document.  What is the problem?  Is it the Adobe PostScript 3 software? 
    Please help, as we need to get these documents to 'search', 'find,' and  copy.
    carol forbes, j.d.

    Yes, we know now that the .pdf is a picture image, but how do we correct it?  We've been told it needs OCR (optical Character Recognition), but isn't that included in the software of Adobe PostScript 3?  Please advise.

  • Is HP/Palm working on a fix for the PDF viewing problems

    For several months, I've been having issues viewing PDFs on my Pre, and though I find lots of information confirming same, I can't find any evidence that HP/Palm is doing anything about it.  Getting tired of sending myself links so I can view PDFs on a computer....what about it HP/Palm?
    While I'm not happy I fell for all the hype about Flash support, I'm probably more upset I can't even view many PDFs using this device.

  • Firefox pdf viewer garbles embedded text on some of our pdfs (on Mac OS Mavericks). They're fine in Safari or when downloaded. This is a major problem.

    Firefox pdf viewer messes up text on pdfs and makes them unreadable. These fonts are embedded, so there shouldn't be a problem. The pdfs are fine when viewed in Safari or Chrome browsers. Also fine when viewed through Acrobat. Telling me to change my default browser isn't good enough. Visitors to our web site won't know this.

    The latest stable and latest development versions of the built-in PDF viewer are available as an extension and these version can possibly perform better than the version shipped with the current Firefox release.

  • PDF viewer removes text from tabs and search bars

    Often when I open documents in the built-in PDF viewer Firefox freezes for a few seconds and then when it returns to life all the text not associated with a particular webpage is gone. The tabs for the Firefox windows have no text. The search bar has no text. The address bar has no text. The bookmarks bar has no text. If I right click I get a menu with no text. If Firefox opens any windows (such as below when I click "Automatically add") those windows have no text. I have a screenshot of this phenomenon but don't see any way of attaching it. Restarting Firefox only occasionally resolves the issue.
    This was happening while I filled out this form and collected the troubleshooting information below (by guessing which textless window buttons did what.)

  • Default pdf viewer Reader icon in finder shows Acrobat

    I previously selected Acrobat Pro as my default pdf viewer. I then changed back to Reader, however in the Mac Finder I am getting the Acrobat Icon. I changed All Files to Reader, but the icon will not change back.
    Am running Reader 11.0.2 and Acrobat Pro 9.5.4
    Operating system Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

    Hi ,
    Please See the below Steps :
    Step 1
    Single click a PDF file you wish to open or any PDF file in general while holding the control key. Then select 'Get Info' from the menu you've opened.
    Step 2
    Under the heading 'Open with,' the current default application for opening PDFs is listed. If there is no application listed you may need to click the triangle to the left of 'Open with' so that it points downward to reveal the current setting.
    Step 3
    Click on the application listed to open a menu displaying additional applications. In this menu locate the most recent version of Adobe Reader. If Reader is not listed or an old version of the software is listed select 'Other' from the bottom of the menu.  Navigate through your Applications folder to locate the icon for the Adobe Reader application and click to highlight it. Click the Add button to select Reader.
    Step 4
    Back in the information window click the 'Change All' button so that all subsequent PDF files will be opened by Adobe Reader.
    Step 5
    Click the Continue button to confirm that you'd like to change your settings. Now all PDF files will be opened by Adobe Reade
