PDF viewer doesn't work in FF 36.0.4 for Mac
Macbook Pro with Yosemite and FF 36.0.4: Built in PDF viewer no longer works. Clicking on PDF links in search engines does not bring up the built in viewer.
Restoring FF 35 restores the PDF viewer.
I understand that the PDF viewer in Firefox is no longer working. I have reset the application settings for the pdf file mimetype in the Firefox Application settings.
*[[Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]
If the default continues not to work after resetting this setting, please check out a work around:
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac).
#In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right hand side 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.

Print to pdf often doesn't work with multiple pages?
When I try to print to pdf, it often doesn't work right.
I can select, for example, multiple Excel worksheets to print. It looks fine with 4 pages in Preview, but when I select save as .pdf, it only prints 2 of the 4 pages, and it prints those in 2 separate documents rather than a single .pdf document with multiple pages.
Is there a way to do this? Is this an Apple error or Microsoft error? Since it looks fine in Preview, my guess it is an Apple error?
MarkIt sounds like this is the problem with the way Apple handles multiple orientations in a pdf document. You can use Acrobat to print the files - it handles multiple orientations correctly. There was a previous thread on this:

Cropping pictures with Viewer doesn't work.
Cropping pictures with Viewer doesn't work.
Selecting < or ~ 12 pictures. (picture size are Snapshots with iphone resolution) ->Viewers opens and display them. -> Russian roullette between cmd+k or the little crop button. No indication which one will process a crop or which not. -> Both result in picture selection disappear with no crop.
Selecting > 12 pictures. (picture size are Snapshots with iphone resolution) -> Viewer opens and display them. I crop them one by one with same Russian roulllette behavior between cmd+k or the little crop button. -> Closing Viewer. -> Pictures remain like they've been before. Not cropped.I just tried what you described (although I can't really fathom why you would describe it as Russian roulette (with a variable number of L's). Unless you've been drinking a lot, which is what people are usually doing when they are playing Russian roulette. Your post was hard enough to decipher without that.
Anyway, my cropping was saved each time. I think there's something wrong with your Preview.app. Have you changed anything about the autosave functions of OSX?
I would try:
Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
if that doesn't help, then I'd reinstall Mavericks over your current installation. -
I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?
Do not worry about it.
Time Machine needs that your external drive is formatted in HFS+, or better known as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". This filesystem is used by Apple on Macs and Windows cannot read or write drives formatted with this filesystem, being this the reason why all your devices do not read the external drive except your Mac.
You can only use your external drive to make Time Machine drives. If you store anything different, you may damage the Time Machine structure, so it is better not to use it as a drive to store other data. Instead, get another external drive to do it or create a second partition on the external drive formatted in FAT32 by using Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html FAT32 can be read by Windows PCs -
If my charging cable doesn't work do i get a new for free
if my charging cable doesn't work do i get a new for free
I had a lightning cable, that came with my iPhone 5s, that frayed and broke at the connector. I took the cable and phone into the Apple Store and they exchanged the cable for a new one with not a question asked. Good experience.
I think part of it is that the design of the Apple cables is quite flimsy especially at the connector and I think they see a lot of them fail. -
how do i get a password? I changed my password last night and it doesn't work. Or, it is asking for a password for something else and I do not know which one!
Usually when someone mentions "passowrd" in a posting it will not be related to an Adobe product but to the machine that you are trying to implement some installation or update for. If you explain more about what you are trying to do and describe what you encounter it might be easier to determine what you are dealing with... include a screenshot to help explain as well if you can.

Geany Latex plug-in PDF preview doesn't work [NEVER MIND]
See the end of this post
Does anyone know how to get the Geany Latex plug-in PDF preview to work? For a while it was creating a shell script in the current directory that didn't have execute permissions for the user, now I can't tell if it's even doing that (the script was designed to erase itself). I tried with both sakura and xterm as the terminal, as well as I tried with evince (my preferred viewer) and xpdfview. Also, the DVI preview doesn't work.
--EDIT--
Wait! The script magically returned. It's called geany_run_script.sh and it looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
evince "/home/skottish/latex/1/John.pdf"
echo "
(program exited with code: $?)"
rm $0
It works if it's chmoded then executed, but that's totally pointless for the user to do.
--FINAL EDIT--
I've spent far too much time on text editors. The reality is that Scite is a perfect fit for me. It's fast as hell, supports every language I want, it's fully scriptable, has auto completion... it does everything I need it to do and far more. I'm sure a very simply Lau script will implement this and anything else that I need.
--FINAL EDIT, THE NEXT GENERATION--
In Scite, you just need to put something like this in one of the options files. This works for Evince. The menu item 'pdfPreview' will be in the 'Tools' menu for .tex files:
# PDF preview through Evince
command.name.1.$(file.patterns.tex)=pdfPreview
command.1.$(file.patterns.tex)=pdflatex $(FileName) && evince $(FileName).pdf
command.subsystem.1.$(file.patterns.tex)=0
Making the second command line into this will clear up the .aux, .log. and .pdf files also:
command.1.$(file.patterns.tex)=pdflatex $(FileName) && evince $(FileName).pdf && rm $(FileName).aux $(FileName).log $(FileName).pdf
Now onto spell check...............................
--FINAL EDIT, BACK TO THE BEGINNING AGAIN--
It turns out with Geany all that needs to be done is to add this to Build-->Set Arguments-->PDF creation. Then when you go Build--> Latex -> PDF, it would launch evince:
pdflatex --file-line-error-style "%f" && evince "%e".pdf
Of course adding this to the end would clean up the build files also:
&& rm "%e".pdf "%e".log "%e".aux

Interactive button in PDF file doesn't work with Adobe Reader for Mac nor Acrobat Pro
Hello!
I've to use a interactive form which has an interactive button that is supposed to send that form by email. If I open that PDF with my iPhone or iPad with the PDF Expert App, it works perfectly, but for any strange reason, when I try to open that same PDF in my Mac with Adobe Reader or Acrobat pro, that button doesn't do anything.
Can this be a configuration error?
Thanks!The problem is deeper than that. It's not reader. Now the same form I was creating in LifeCycle Designer ES2 yesterday, with the actions working perfectly, no longer work. None of the actions are working.
Could it be realted to me trying to set the default version compatibility to Adobe 7. It gave me warnings, so I set it back to 9.
Any help would be appreciated. -
Windows XP. If it doesn't work is it possible that I can go back to Firefox 4?
Yes, that's it. I did try that before and then again after your response but still no luck. What I'm thinking is that the JS View 2.0.5 add on is not yet compatible with the new Firefox 5. If that's the case then I would hope that it will soon be compatible. The problem is that I actually use that every day and now I'm kinda stuck. Still open to any thoughts if you have any. I am willing to go back to Firefox 4 is that is still possible.

Export reports views doesn't work
export the report view's in a file doesn't work. The file is created but still empty. Workaround is to get the sql and execute it in worksheet edit and cut and past the result in a excel sheet. It woul be better if the export works fine.
This is working fine for me.
What version of SQL Developer are you using?
What OS are you on?
What report did you run?
What type of output did you select?

I have two installations of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro / LiveCycle Designer. The preview tab doesn't work on either installation for LiveCycle Designer.
My first machine is running XP Pro SP3 32-bit. When I click on the Preview PDF tab it previews, but I can't enter data into the fields when working on a static or dynamic pdf.
The other machine is running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. When I click on the Preview PDF tab it the machine tries to open the preview up in Adobe Reader, but never actually opens.
What should I check? Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
AndyI don't have the Windows 7 machine in front of me to test this on, but the XP machine behaves the same if I open up Reader or Acrobat before I click Preview PDF in LiveCycle.

PDF Viewer component that works in NetBeans VWP
Hi All,
I am looking for a PDF Viewer Component that will work with NetBeans VWP. Ideally, this would be something that I could load into the Pallette and drop on a web form for use, then dynamically call up a document for display within the control. (Actually, IDEALLY, this would be a multi-document viewer, i.e. PDF's Word files, text files, etc.). It does not have to be a free tool - though free would be nice. I have checked out the Acrobat Viewer Java Bean but from everything I can find on that, it appears to be something that can be used in Java Apps, but not web apps. If I am wrong about this, can someone please correct me and link to web app usage (as applied to VWP - JSP & JSF).
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I noticed a lot of references to IText on this forum and I'm in the process of checking it out now. But I have not seen anything on IText regarding an actual viewer component.
Thanks,
DennisI don't believe iText has a viewer as I know of. If Adobe has a java bean then you can create an applet for the client side to display the viewer.

Adobe PDF printer doesn't work correctly.
I have installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro. But when I try to convert a document to a PDF file using PDF printer a progress bar appears. But then nothing happens.
Hi Anubha,
This problem happens with every kind of file types (Eg. .doc, .txt, .jpg).
This printer worked very well earlier. I got this problem suddenly. Not sure what is the reason. Tried re-installing Adobe, but doesn't work.
I used 'File> Print> Printer> Adobe PDF' option to create pdf files. (Eg. In MS Word, Notepad, and etc.)
Thank you for your reply.
Udaya.
