PDFs Not Openning in Search Results?

RH 8 on Windows XP Professional, publishing project to an Apache server
We just upgraded to RH 8, and I love that PDF documents show up in the search results now. However, if I click on a PDF in the results, I get a message saying that it's not found.
I have a baggage file for all of the PDFs that I'm referring to, and the PDFs do open when linked from other pages or if entering their URLs in the address bar. All I can think of is normally when I link to PDFs, I open them in a new window. Whereas, this search function is trying to open them in the main project window. I don't think this should make a difference, but I thought I would mention it just in case.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for fixing this.

Hi Betsy
Sorry, no bright suggestions for fixing it or working around it. At least not yet.
So this begs the question of why am I posting, huh?
Well, it's to encourage you to consider reporting this to Adobe as a potential bug!

Outlook 2013 crashes when opening Calendar search result

I have a user who uses her Outlook 2013 calendar extensively, mainly to note for herself when she has spoken to a customer, and creating appointments for when she needs to speak to them again. (This is outside of our policy to note the contact in
MS CRM.) She can have scores of such Calendar items each day.
When seraching for these appointments in her Calendar, she gets the list of results, but Oulook crashes when she tries to open any of them. Sometimes Outlook restarts on its own, sometimes she must relaunch it herself.
Related threads reference a wwlib.dll error, but she is not getting that. It is Outlook.exe itself that is crashing. There are other threads that reference other open windows, or items containing webpages or tables, but these do not apply to her, either.
Event Data (two related entries) contain the following:
OUTLOOK.EXE

On answers.microsoft.com, Girish M (Support Engineer who eventally directed me here), asked me to run Scanpst.exe. I would paste the results here, but this window does not seem to allow pasting. A summary description of what it found on her .ost file (no
.pst in use) is basically this:
**Beginning NDB recovery
**Attempting to open database
**Attempting to validate header
**Attempting to validate AMap
**Attempting to validate BBT
**Attempting to validate NBT
**Attempting to validate BBT refcounts
    ??Couldint find BBT entry in the RBT (E025CC)
**Attempting to validate header NID high-water marks
**Beginning PST/OST recovery
**Attempting to recover all top-level objects
    **Store created by biuld: 15.4517
**Attempting to walk all folders
      Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 719
      Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6CD
      Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6DE
      Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6D8
and so on, and so on, with a few hundred more FLT RowID errors, finally ending with:
**Attempting to locate any orphaned folders/messages
**Performing Final HMP validation
**Attempting to check top-level objects for consistency
**Updating folder hierarchy
  **Verifying message moves
My understanding of the Scanpst.exe process is that it also disables any addons which might cause crashing, but the issue is still being experienced. Running Scanpst.exe a second time (appending the previous log, although it seemed to actually prepend the
file) only returned a few lines from the top of the result above ending with "Attempting to validate BBT."
Fixes not attempted yet that I have found performing searches include running the Office Repair tool, or checking for KB2817631 (a Word update that is apparently having adverse affects on Outlook, not attempted yet because it seems to be related to the wwlib.dll
error, which is not happening here).
Any thoughts out there? Thanks!

Mavis,
Thanks for the reply. Running Outlook using /cleansharing and
/cleanroamedprefs did not have any effect when used individually or in combination with each other.
Running the Search Index Rebuild option also did not seem to do anything, as the pop-up message indicated that it may take a long time to finish, and yet seemed to finish instantaneously, not giving any indication that the indexing took place. The option
window immediately said "Indexing complete" for 23,755 items.
As to the Outlook Forum, they are the ones who directed me to this forum (you can see the thread on the Answers support page under Office - Office 2013 - Microsoft Office Outlook - Office on Windows 7, under the title "Outlook 2013 restarts when
opening Calendar Search result item" first posted on Dec 11, 2013), as Girish M felt that it might be due to Exchange, and not Outlook. (I have no reports of any of our other users on the same Exchange server having the problem with their Outlook, but
they also do not use it the way this user has been.)
I can repost the issue there, or continue the same thread, if you think the issue lies with them. Was the "Answers" site the improper place to post, perhaps? Should it go in a different thread on Technet instead?
Thanks for your assistance!

I listed all updates because there have been reported instances of a Word update causing Outlook to crash, but she is not getting the wwlib.dll error related to that KB. If you are aware of any issues with these updates, and which ones might be worth uninstalling
in an attempt to fix, please let me know.
Thanks again!

App not appearing in search result in Windows Phone Store

Hi everyone,
Our app has been published to Windows Phone Store. We can find the app by following the direct link to the app (http://bit.ly/Te6itF), but cannot find it by searching on Windows Phone Store. The app is published to Public
Store and is not hidden.
What can we do to solve this?
Thanks.

Same for me. I released my application almost 10 days ago. It was normal. It was appearing in search result. But
4 days ago I've uploaded a new update for it. Now this is not appearing in search result. I also tried it by
its name and my publisher name. But not. I've not hide it from store, its visible and published. However I'm only able to find this by direct link (http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=63530408-d242-485a-b0da-7d4872f8d4c6)
only. I also can't find it through my another application (by opening application in store and click on more application by this developer). Please help me.

Why will PDF not open from email?

I recently modified my Adobe Reader 9.1 (with instructions from the bank) to be able to electronically sign documents.
Since then I can not open any PDF documents from email. I went back and reversed the changes I made. I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it. No luck.
I have to save the documents and open them from Windows Explorer.
Any Ideas?

A fast workaround for PDF problem (See my original post)
In Firefox:
Open Tools > Options > Under Main tab click Save files to > click Browse
Scroll up or down to find where you want it to go (I put mine under Documents because it's the easiest to find).
Click New folder and label it something you will quickly recognize.
Now when you click on a PDF attachment it will automatically be sent to that file and you can double click or open
it in Adobe Reader
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Note) If I use Internet Explorer (I have not used IE in years) I can open PDF's from Hotmail with out a problem.
I like Firefox better so I will continue to use the quick workaround until somebody finds a fix.
If you use IE, here are the instructions for saving PDF files.
Click
to open Windows Mail.
Open a message that contains an attachment by double-clicking it
in the message list.
In the message window, click the File menu,
and then click Save Attachments.
Select the folder where you want to save the attachments.
By default,
Windows Mail saves attachments in your
Documents folder. If you want to save the attachments to a different folder,
click Browse, and then select a folder.
Select the attachments that you want to save, and then click Save.

Error when opening a pdf by clicking a search result. Link works fine when opened any other way. IE issue only.

The issue:
www.norwich.gov.uk
When you carry out a search for "co-operative bank" and click the first result (which is a pdf), Adobe Reader is launched and the user sees this error: "There was an error opening this document, The filename, directory name or volume label syntax
is incorrect"
However, if you do any of these...
right-click the link and choose to open it in a new tab
right-click the link, copy the shortcut, paste it into the address bar and hit go
open the file directly from the library
open the file by clicking on a hyperlink
... you are prompted to Open or Save the file. On choosing 'Open' the file is opened in the browser window with no problems. It is only when clicking on the link in the search results that the issue arises. The issue only occurs with IE.
Current settings:
Client integration is disabled
Browser file handling is set to permissive
Default open behaviour for browser-enabled documents is set to open in the browser
DOCICON.xml is configured to show <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.png" EditText="Adobe Acrobat" OpenControl=""/>
Disabling the Adobe Acrobat SharePoint Opendocuments add-on 'fixes' the issue, in that the user no longer sees the error, but instead sees the prompt. However, this doesn't help us as the site is public facing asn we cant control user's add-ons.
Hope someone can help.

I tried this from my laptop with IE8 and it worked fine.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

After upgrade to Firefox Version 4, my Google is not working anymore. Google opens. But if i try to open a search result, page becomes pale and the sign "no feedback" appears. Scrolling also no more possible

Every time I search with Google, I get a search result, but if I select one and click on it, the link does not open. Instead the page becomes pale and the sign "no feedback" appears. Also the scroll function does not work anymore. Impossible to use a Google link. I had to use the "Windows Explorer" again where Google works properly. (With the older Firefox Version I had never problems)

I wish it were that but a long time ago when I had a problem with the gadgets with iGoogle back 6 months ago thereabouts I was asked to disable it then and I did and I just went to re-check and it is still not enabled, however, it will not let me un-install it though.. It only gives me an option to enable or disable.. Any advice ? So I'm wondering if it is something else still or is there a problem with the avast still ?
thanks again for your help. Mind you that this all started when blogger went down ..
take care

Cannot open Google search results in tab\same window\new window

Google search results are not opening in the new tab\same window\new window. 
It is happening only in Firefox, Internet explorer. It is working fine in chrome. 
I have tried many solutions like 
1. cleared cache, history,everything from browser's, still no result. 
2. opened in safe mode, no result. 
3. unchecked hardware acceleration, still no result. 
4. Other search engines it is working fine, only problem with Google search engine. 
5. Tried changing my DNS (Google open DNS, others), no result. 
6. Checked with antivirus blocking, nothing is blocking. 
7. Reinstalled browsers(Firefox, explorer) no result. 
8. Tried with different versions of browsers, including the latest updates ( Firefox,explorer), no result. 
9. while disabling Java in about:config it is working in Firefox. 
Please help me on this issue. 
Thanks in advance.

Google normally routs the result link to their safe browsing testing service via an onmousedown event that modifies the link (href attribute) if you click it once.
You can check if this bookmarklet makes a difference:
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelectorAll('#search a[onmousedown]'),E,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){E.removeAttribute('onmousedown')}})()</nowiki></pre>

Display pdf meta data in search results

I'm using the built in search function of Sun One web server 6.1 to catalog a directory that contains a large number of scientific journal article in pdf format. In each pdf file the title of the journal article and the author name is contained in the document metadata. After a search is performed the Title field is listed on the search results page. Is there a way to make the Author field appear there as well? It seems that the html version of the file generated by htmlconv contains the information I want <meta name="author" content=" Author Name "></meta>, but I did not find enough information in the documentation to allow me to modify /opt/SUNWwbsvr/bin/https/webapps/search/index.jsp to display this information properly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Doug

Hi,
You will need to create a new 'metadata property' through search and map it as below (though there is 1 OOTB property but you cannot use it) -
1) Create metadata property, say 'Modified By User' (text)
2) Map it to - ows_Modified_x0020_By(Text) , ows_ModifiedBy(Text) , Office:8(Text)
3) Run a full crawl
4) After this, you need to modify the search results XSLT to add 'Modified By' in the results page. You will find good articles on this on MSDN/Technet (check here - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms560074(v=office.14).aspx)

Specific PDF not opening in Adobe Reader on Lumia ...

I get an error message on a Lumia 625 when trying to open a downloaded pdf (88Mb) in Adobe Reader Vers 10.4.3.
I have more than 3Gb free space. The file seems to be successfully downloaded & joins the list of all PDF documents in the Adobe Reader app. All other PDFs DO open OK. Just not this one.
The message reads “The document path is not valid” & phone screen shows “Loading...” but fails to actually open anything
What does this mean & how do I fix it? Thankyou in advance...

Thankyou. The Central Question over this Lumia 625 inability to open a specific pdf (by Lonely Planet) remains:-I could uninstall this Adobe Reader app but think this is not the problem as this app does indeed open all other pdf's on my phone successfully, e.g. the Lonely Planet Invoice!
On the other hand, this particular downloaded & installed pdf can be read on my home PC, my Macbook & my IpodTouch so I can't attribute fault to the filename.
The basic Troubleshoot step of a "soft reset" is NOT described in the Lumia 625 User Guide & I'm pessimistic this arbitrary step will bear fruit. I have come to the conclusion that no matter what I do, this Lumia model using the MIcrosoft OS has a system flaw that is unable to read the file (a file that other devices & another OS can read) & I will not waste time with ad hoc actions such as resets as this is not a hobby for me.
The pdf in question (88Mb, Lumia free space is >3Gb) is a travel guide I'd like to use on my next trip & this Lumia 625 is proving not worthy of coming with me. I am disappointed at the lack of "Customer Support" shown by the Nokia Company & I hope this is relayed as some "friendly feedback". Thank you for your own assistance, though.
I invite correction if this assessment is mistaken.

PDF not opening at 100%

Hi,
I've created a multi-page PDF with bookmarks and hyperlinks. The initial view settings are set at 100% magnification. I've also secured this document so that it can't be saved, printed, copied, etc. It is residing on a secure website. So far, I have three users who claim that it's not opening at 100% (there are over 300 users). I've double and triple checked the properties and cannot find any difference between this document and other documents created the same way that DO open at 100% magnification.
Any suggestions? Could it be a Reader version issue (the users are not acrobat users)?
I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.
Thank you!

The initial view settings are set at 100% magnification.
Could be that their personal settings aren't set a "default". They can set their preferences for PDF's to open at whatever they want.

Basically worthless settings if they are using a third party PDF viewer (I know you didn't ask, just saying...)

PDF not opening in IE 10 when linked from robohelp 8

It will be really great if you could help me with my query. I am using Robohelp 8. I have created a topic page and linked a pdf file to it as a bagge file so that when one clicks the topic in the TOC, the pdf file opens. When I generate the output, the pdf is opening in IE 8, 9. However, the pdf is not opening in IE 10. Please suggest a solution.

Sounds like a security setting, check if it’s working with FireFox or Chrome

Google apps not showing in search results on ios6

Since upgrading to iOS6 on my iPhone and iPad, I'm unable to see the Google or G+ app in a search result.
I still have the apps on my home screen but if I swipe to search for a Google app, a list of address book contacts returns instead of a Google app.
Very dissapointed that Apple isn't signing 5.1.1 anymore as their exit from all things Google, replaced by substandard apps is not good enough.

Thanks. I have the Chrome app. This is not the issue. This bug is not a browser issue. It occurs when I search 'in phone' not in browser. I have the Google and G+ app installed on two devices. The latest software update hasn't removed them from my homescreen but Apples in phone search function doesn't find them anymore. By 'in phone search' I mean if you go to your first page of apps and then swipe to the right to reveal a search box.

How to make Firefox open the search results in a new tab instead of on top of already opened page?

When I do the search through the search window on the top right corner, the search results open on top of the page I'm viewing at that moment, instead of in a new tab, so I have to keep remembering to open a new tab before each search. How do I change this, that the results would open up in a new tab?

about:config
set browser.search.openintab to true
