Pdfs are suddenly damaged

I manage several sites with iWeb. This past weekend I went into all and updated the copyright information in the footer of each page. Upon doing so, I am now realizing that even though I did not make other changes, many (not all) of the current pdfs that are within the sites will no longer download.
On many of them, when I click on them, I get "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
Any ideas for me? As I said, it seems to be random. Please shed some light if you can. Thanks!

I wanted to offer some samples:

All my PDFs are suddenly corrputed, but nothing else is.

I have client files stored as PDFs on an on-site server. Suddenly, today, they're not accessable by myself or anyone else on the network. This is only affecting PDFs, as the document files, Word files, everything else is fine. It's just the PDFs. I have tried making copies, opening them on a different computer that's not on the network, everything. I've even tried several repair programs that say they don't recognize the files as PDFs. The file sizes all seem to be accurate - meaning they're not zero bytes. I have tried un-installing and then re-installing Reader, and different versions. Nothing works.
I have no idea where to go from here, other than asking clients to re-send two years worth of documentation.
Has anyone else had this problem? Please tell me that someone has a solution to this?

My whole office uses Windows 7, I've upgraded all the way to Reader 11 during this, and they're corrupted in that when I try to open them, Reader has a popup box that says "Adobe Reader could not open 'file.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)".
All of our PDFs were working on Monday, then yesterday they were all corrupted. When I try to use a program to recover/restore/repair them, they all say the files aren't PDF files.

Disappeared: pages that involve .pdf are suddenly refusing to be viewable?

Let me try to describe this. In the normal course of traveling through webspace, I see that a largish number of site pages are actually .pdfs (not just those one downloads intentionally as separate files, but the regular pages). What's happening to me is that as the page loads, it simply doesn't show the .pdf page. Instead, I get a gray page without any image. It seems like the thing is loaded fine, but I just can't see it.
I've gone fishing to see if I can fix it: updated safari, gone looking for adobe plug-ins or anything seeming awry. I downloaded the most recent adobe update and installed it. nuh-uh. The only thing of relevance that I can think of is that a couple of weeks ago I updated the OS to Snow Leopard. This all just started the other day.
I am now beyond my (admittedly low) pay grade as far as fixing things Mac goes. Help! My workaround with my iPhone is getting kinda old.

Hi and welcome Nancidrew ...
Go to your Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache.
Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.
If that doesn't help, from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons. Click Reset.
If that didn't make a difference, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari if it's open.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If you can view PDF files in Safari, move the .plist file to the Trash.
Another workaround besides your iPhone is to login to another user account on your Mac. Launch Safari.
If you don't have another account established, follow the instructions here. This only takes a few minutes.

My PDFs are opening in Colorsync all of a sudden and I can't print them. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

PDFs are displaying in black and white in Preview

My InDesign PDF's are suddenly displaying in black and white in Apple Preview. Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks!

Thank you Mark : )
I did solve the problem and it only occured on one document in which I changed the automatic bullet point color. I usually make my own bullet points, so this was a first for me.
Here is how I solved the problem:
When exporting the PDF, I chose the "Output" option and changed the "Color" to "Convert to Destination (Preserve Numbers)". I then selected "Color Match RGB".
This worked for the problem document and it didn't happen again on other documents.
Thanks Again!

I am in the process of expanding a database of chemistry journal articles. These materials are ideally acquired in two formats when both are available-- PDF and HTML. To oversimplify, PDFs are for the user to read, and derivatives of the HTML versions are for the computer to read. Both formats are, of course, readily recognized and indexed by Spotlight. Journal articles have two essential components with regards to a database: the topical content of the article itself, and the cited references to other scientific literature. While a PDF merely lists these references, the HTML version has, in addition, links to the cited items. Each link URL contains the digital object identifier (doi) for the item it points to. A doi is a unique string that points to one and only one object, and can be quite useful if rendered in a manner that enables indexing by Spotlight. Embedded URL's are, of course, ignored by Spotlight. As a result, HTML-formatted articles must be processed so that URL's are openly displayed as readable text before Spotlight will recognize them. Conversion to DOC format using MS Word, followed by conversion to RTF using Text Edit accomplishes this, but is quite labor intensive.
In the last few months, I have added about 3,500 articles to this collection, which means that any procedure for rendering URL's must be automated and able to process large batches of documents with minimal user oversight. This procedure needs to generate a separate file for each HTML document processed. Trials using Automator's "Get Specified Finder Items" and "Get Selected Finder Items", as well as "Ask For Finder Items" (along with "Get URLs From Web Pages") give unsatisfactory results. When provided with multiple input documents, these three commands generate output in which the URLs from multiple input items are merged into a single block, which yields a single file using "Create New Word Document" as the subsequent step. A one-to-one, input file to output file result can be obtained by processing one file at a time, but this requires manual selection of each item and one-at-a-time processing. What I need is a command that accepts multiple input documents, but processes them one at a time, generating a separate output for each file processed. Is there a way for Automator to do this?

Hi,
With the project all done, i'm preparing for the presentation. Managed to get my hands on a HD beamer for the night (Epason TW2000) and planning to do the presentation in HD.
That of course managed to bring up some problems. I posted a thread which i'll repost here . Sorry for the repost, i normally do not intend to do this, but since this thread is actually about the same thing, i'd like to ask the same question to you. The end version is in AfterEffects, but that actually doesn't alter the question. It's about export:
"I want to export my AE project of approx 30 min containing several HD files to a Blu Ray disc. The end goal is to project the video in HD quality using the Epson EMP-TW2000 projector. This projector is HD compatible.
To project the video I need to connect the beamer to a computer capable of playing a heavy HD file (1), OR burn the project to a BRD (2) and play it using a BRplayer.
I prefer option 2, so my question is: which would be the preferred export preset?
Project specs:
                    - 1920x1080 sq pix (16:9)
                    - 25 fps
                    - my imported video files (Prem.Pro sequences) are also 25 fps and are Progressive (!)
To export to a BRD compatible format, do i not encounter a big problem: my projectfiles are 25 fps and progressive, and I believe that the only Bluray preset dispaying 1920x1080 with 25 fps requests an INTERLACED video (I viewed the presets found on this forum, this thread)... There is also a Progr. format, BUT then you need 30 fps (29,...).
So, is there one dimension that can be changed without changing the content of the video, and if yes which one (either the interlacing or the fps).
I'm not very familiar with the whole Blu-ray thing, I hope that someone can help me out."
Please give it a look.
Thanks,
Jef

How do we know how many PDFs are generated?

Hello All-
We have created an Application ID with enough credentials on it to call the Adobe Services and our developers are using WebServices to call the Form Server in their code with that particular App Id and Generate the PDFs and what we really want to know is if there is any setting in the Adminui or in the code where we can set that and see how many PDFs are being generated for a period of time from that particular App Id? We are not using PDFGen component.
we are using Adobe LiveCycle 8.0.1 SP3, WebSphere 6.1 and DB2 8.2 database.
It will be great if someone can tell me if they did this before.
Thanks in Advance

On the old discussion software, they had distinctive avatars and identifiers under the avatars. They could have adopted distinctive avatars with the new forum software but they didn't. The reason that they didn't, I assume, is because the new software allows secondary icons to identify users. Every level had its own icon, the Hosts had their own icon, and Apple employees had theirs. This identification system was temporarily disabled along with the rest of the levels and reputations because of the performance hit that was being caused. It may come back if they can fix the performance problems.
Until then, Hosts and Apple employees have been using text signatures, such as "Apple Discussions Host" to identify themselves. There may be Apple employees who have not gotten the word about the text signatures.
BTW, to see what I mean by the identification icons, look at how Jive has implemented this feature on their own support forums. On this forum page, look to the right in the box labeled "Legend".

All my pdf are printing mirror image since i started the subscription for adobe

all my pdf are printing mirror image since i started the subscription for adobe

Hi pintu777,
I see that you just got an ExportPDF subscription. That shouldn't have any affect on the way that your PDF files are printing. Has anything else changed on your system? What are you printing to and from (Reader or Acrobat)? Do other types of files print mirrored as well?
I look forward to hearing back from you with a few more details. We'll get this sorted out.
Best,
Sara

Rules set in mail are suddenly not working?

I had my rules set in mail and now they are suddenly not working, what to do to fix?

I'm having the same problem, but not with all messages. Only a few slip through. However, when I right-click and Apply Rules to individual emails, the rule suddenly works.
What I'd like to work (and it doesn't), is to be able to select-all emails in inbox and then right-click, Apply Rules. But this never works. AND it'd be must faster than doing it individually. Thx!
