PDF won't display (please wait...)

I am trying to get a tax form to show with Adobe Reader. The form is available at https://ww2.revenue.wi.gov/Internet/wi_efile/2010/Form1-2010.pdf . The site says Reader 9.0 or above is needed. I have installed 9.4.2, the latest version available for Debian. When I attempt to open it, I just get a page that reads "Please wait... 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." Am I missing something?

It is a running joke that the acroread plugin crashes on linux. It has been that way for years and looks set to be the same way forevermore.
However there is a fix and it isn't too difficult. Locate and delete (or move) the file npwrapper.nppdf.so /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/npwrapper.nppdf.so on my system) this is the plugin that is so flaky and causes the problems. Now you have no embedded acrobat reader? but there is a solution:
mozplugger - it is a bit old and unfashionable but it works everytime. It can use acroread, evince, kpdf, gv or okular to actually do the display of the pdf inside your browser. Personally I use okular despite the many bugs (stupid landscape printing bug, "can't zoom much" bug in okular etc etc).
mozplugger can do all sorts of other stuff such as embedded word docs via libre office etc - it is pretty cool and <just works>.
Watch out for your distro though - I'm using SUSE and it stupidly insists on installing yet another buggy npwrapper.nppdf.so every time it updates flash player. If you have installed mozplugger you just need to delete npwrapper.nppdf.so again and all will be working A-ok.
If you use (k)ubuntu mozplugger is why this is never a problem!

Adobe PDF displays "please wait" preview in OPEN file under Windows XP

An Adobe form created in LifeCycle 8.2, enabled for Adobe Reader version 9, displays "Please Wait" page in the preview in place of the actual document form view. Is there a way to disable this error meassage?

Hi,
no you cannot change this behavior.
This messages is present in all XFA forms (dynamic PDF's) you create with Designer and will be displayed when the PDF viewer cannot handle the XFA data inside the PDF.
In general only Acrobat and Reader support XFA forms, most of the other PDF viewers don't.

PDF won't display correctly after being sent from iPad/iPhone

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help me, we have a PDF come in to one of our users outlook accounts, it opens fine on the computer. However, he has then proceeded to forward this to a colleague through his iPad and when the colleague opens it on their computer, it gives an error message 'Insufficient Data for an Image'. From here the PDF doesn't display correctly, whereby it only shows when scrolled halfway down the page, when you scroll back up all information dissapears as though it were a blank page.
FYI the software we are using to open the PDF is Adobe Reader, which we updates to the latest version to test for this issue. In short, when opened on the local computer it works fine, but as soon as it is forwarded from an iPad it won't open properly (the document opens fine on the ipad before it is sent). I have also tested this through my iPhone and i get the same issue.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Any chance that a Microsoft Exchange Server is in the mix? Could depend on what version of exchange is used.
You will need to try a work-around. Apple seems slow on fixing this issue.

Dvd vcr combo slv-d370p doesn't allow time to be set. Displays "please wait, then try again"

There is no disc or tape in the machine. I have tried waiting up to 8 hours to no avail.
I tried unpluging the machine for a few minutes, and plugging it back in.
Same result, please wait, then try again.
The machine says this every time I press set up. Is there a work around that I haven't figured out?

The PLEASE WAIT AND TRY LATER error will display when trying to access the setup menu if a tape is playing. Stop the tape before attempting to access the setup menu. However, if this occurs even if there's no disc inside then the player may require service. Please click here to check for your service options.

PDF won't display all pages

I'm having problems with a PDF I'm generating, I'm using the presets, never have had the problem before, but some of the pages won't display, there's only a white page. Has anyone else had this problem before? How did you work around it?
Thanks!

Here is a GoogleDocs PDF of the particular PDF I'm having issue with: https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0BzFhXCwCx4SzZDhiN2FjZWEtM2IyNS00Njg4LWI5NTQtNTc5ZDVlM GNhNWVk&hl=en

PDFs Won't Display

I have a new iMac and it won’t display PDFs, as for example my tax return and bank statements, though if I can download them they display normally. I have Adobe Reader X version 10.1.2. I have this problem with any browser. With Safari the display is just a big black (and otherwise blank) window. What's my problem?

Does this KB article describe your issue?

Displaying 'please wait' graphic during long running process

I have an Apex process that takes about 30 seconds to run. Is there any way to display some kind of 'please wait' graphic on the page to inform the user that something is going on?
I assume some Javascript will be required. Or is there a way of doing it using pure Apex?

Antilles,
You can get started learning about there from Carl's demo:

Display ("Please Wait") message WHILE the page loads

Hello All,
I have adf/jsf application. How to add message " Please Wait While Page Loads" WHILE+* the page is loading ?
I am thinking of Window.confirm(" Please Wait While The Page Loads") Is there a better (More Modern) way to do this?_
Many Thanks,

John, when I type <af:statusIndicator and ctrl + space, JDev does not show statusIndicator as one of the choices. I tried adding code but it seems it does not recognize statusIndicator as one of the tags. I am using other jsf and adf tags on the same page :(
Thanks,

PDf won't display using browser

How do I get my browser IE 10 to open a PDF file? I cannot download a PDF file either.

I would just get a white blank screen. Here is what I did:
First change the defaults in Adobe by doing the following:
Click "Start">All Programs>Adobe Reader>Edit>Preferences>Internet>Web Browser Options>Tick "Display PDF">OK and exit Adobe.
THEN you want to change the security options:
Open Internet Explorer(IE), Click "Tools">Adnvaced>Scroll Down to Security and Uncheck"Do Not Save Encrypted Pages to Disk">Click apply or ok and exit.
This should work. You may have to restart your computer for it to take effect.
I had this problem after trying to install KIS(Kaspersky Internet Security) and in so doing was advised to reset my security to defaults which was a mistake as the issue was not with my computer but rather with Kaspersky's server as I was able to install it the next day. Resetting security to defaults could create a problem as you are setting settings that worked before and now do not. Anyway try my solution above and let me know if it works, which it should.

Printer needs output as an .ai (.pdf won't work): please help me explain

Hello, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have this client who is a great client but for various reasons their print vendors for packaging are incredibly special. I've begged them to change vendors, but it's not going to happen. Their paper printing vendors are fine (great actually), and the packaging vendors I use with other clients are fine, I think it's just because they are using the absolute cheapest vendors.
The situation is that I use InDesign to create packaging (boxes, plastic tubes, labels, the whole bit). It's much more efficient for me because for their specific stuff, I use master pages, character/paragraph styles, update linked graphics, etc. This sort of thing is possible in Illustrator via other tools, but I strongly feel InDesign is a much better solution. When I'm done, I export a CMYK PDF (sometimes spot, but either either way, it's a clean, tidy PDF). I'm pretty comfortable with my settings for this as I don't have trouble with any other vendor.
The problem is that my client is getting emails like this: Is it possible for you to send me the true vector files in either .ai or .eps format?
I could take the PDF into Illustrator and outline the fonts, and give them one huge, extremely messy package of AI files (and I'm sure they're on Illustrator 8 or something), but the client will need changes after the proof, and there are a lot of files here, so I have to do this, and redo it, etc. Not to mention this client is WAY over budget.
So, what I'm begging for help with: I've been trying to google for something that explains why a PDF is a better file than an AI file for this purpose and why they should be able to use PDF, but I'm coming up with very little. So far I have general Adobe and Wikipedia articles (which covers raster vs vector), but I haven't found any info from a third party that explains why printers should be using (or at least able to use) a PDF to generate plates (poly or otherwise).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.

I actually hadn't thought of that (actually, hardly ever think about .eps anymore). It's a good point though.
In CS4 (don't remember previous versions), I can export these just as easily as a PDF, but then I still have to outline the fonts, zip up several files instead of just sending a PDF, etc. It's 10 minutes, if that; but this is happening consistently with their packaging vendors. I'd rather educate their vendors than do work-arounds for them. I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, but if they don't know a PDF can be just as "true" a vector as an AI/EPS, the problem isn't just outdated equipment, it's a lack of seriously basic pre-press knowledge.
I was sure adobe (or someone) had a nice article on why a PDF was a better solution, but I'm having a hard time finding it. More than a work-around, I'm really looking for general information for them as to what a PDF is (versus AI/EPS). Then I can at least tell my client that their printer requires me to do extra work, and I'll just bill out for my time. It's a nominal fee, because these work-arounds aren't that elaborate, but sooner or later my client will do the math and realize that it's in their best interest to find a better printer. I know a lot of great printers right now that are hurting (although sadly, none of them do packaging), I'd much rather see work go to printers who make an effort to stay educated about their industry.

Since upgrading Mavericks PDF won't display?

Just upgraded and now can't see PDF? Help

Usually a PDF is opened by Preview, a native OS X application in your Mac system.
If you have a portable document file on your desktop, single-click it so it is highlighted but not try to open it, and then use Get Info from the finder menu, and look into the detail box that should open; you can choose to select what application opens a PDF. Look for Preview and choose it to open all files like this.
Or, if you have a recent version of Adobe Reader for Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.2, from the App Store perhaps or direct from Adobe software web site, you could choose that as the application to open all or a single PDF. I have Preview for some, set as my choice to open; and also use Adobe Reader to open others. Some files seem to have more content appear, or appear correctly, depending on what application was used to author it.
PS: you've posted an 'intel-mac' question in a 'ppc-mac' area; I will
ask a host to move it to the correct one. We'll see where it goes.
Hopefully this helps a bit.
Good luck & happy computing!

Saved PDF won't display base color

In Illustrator, I save a vector clouds with a blue backround. However, once saved as a PDF, the blue sky doesn'y appear. Just the white clouds on a checkerboard backround appear.
I have checked, the layer isn't locked.

Is the blue background on a seperate layer? If the layer name is in Italics you have the the layer option for print unchecked.
By default the print layers option is set to visible and printable. This setting affects PDF output. You can change that to visible layers.
In any case test to see if this is a layer related issue and if items on the layer with the blue backgorund show up transparent.

Please wait while windows configures microsoft visual studio professional 2013

After installing visual community 2013 and rebooting visual studio works fine but all other microsoft office programs display "please wait while windows configures microsoft visual studio professional 2013" and continues the installation for
about 1 minute before the program starts. I tried deleting mso.dll and reinstalling but it is still the same. Any help would be appreciated?

Hi iwallhead,
Then can your VS work fine? Anyway, please upload the installation log.
Use a tool named collect.exe to collect the log file. Download
collect.exeand
run it directly. The utility creates a compressed cabinet of all the VS and .NET logs to
%TEMP%\vslogs.cab. Please upload the
vslogs.cab file on onedrive.
I will help check if any install error exists.

My ipod Video won't switch on and always displays the message, "Please Wait Very Little Battery" despite being plugged into the charger.

Dear Apple Support Communities,
I am writing to inform you I have had my iPod for about 6 years now and it has slowly got to the stage where it no longer turns on. My iPod began freezing every now and then (for a few seconds now) and then this problem escalated to the stage where it began to freeze for days. I am now at the stage where it doesn't switch on at all, in fact everytime I try to switch on my iPod the following message appears on the screen, 'Please Wait, Very Little Battery' despite the fact that the iPod is currently being charged. I haven't used my iPod for months and was wondering if this promblem can be fixed or am I entitled to any upgrades.

Did you try to let it connected to USB for charging for a while before asking it anything. When the battery is deeply drained, it can occur that the iPod displays nothing for half an hour, just charging.
Also, make sure your PC gives sufficient power to the iPod for charging, I let mine once for six hours charging on my work's pc, and it didn't display "charged" message even after the 6H charge.
When an USB device is requiring more power than it can receive from the plug it is in, MacOSX advices it to user, It seems that Windows doesn't.

Need Help ASAP my State tax form is in a PDF file and the attachment in my email says Please wait

Need Help ASAP my State tax form is in a PDF file and the attachment in my email says Please wait...
I tried downloading updates like it said to but it still will not display the document. How do I print the PDF file ASAP

Can you give us a LOT more info?
What email client? What version of Reader (I can only assume you even have Reader at this point)?
Please wait? I'm sure it says more than that, right?
Have you tried simply saving the PDF (it IS a PDF correct?) to your desktop and opening it from there?
Did you get this form from the IRS or did it come from somewhere else? If the IRS again, what version of Reader?
Help us help you.
