When I download certain PDFs, they show up completely blank. However, when I used a Windows computer, the full text is there. How can I correct this problem? Thanks!

PDFs showing up blank for other users

Hey all,
I'm having some issues. I'm currently on a mac and using Adobe Reader. When I fill out a pdf form, and then I send it out to other people, it shows up blank, as if I never filled out any of the information. However, when I check on other computers in the office (all using Macs), it's all filled out. I'm not exactly sure if it's because some of these people are using PC or not, but it seems like whenever I try sending the pdf files via email, majority of the people outside the office receiving them are having issues viewing it (shows up blank)
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix the issue? Any advice would help. Google search wasn't really getting me anywhere!
Thank you!

the script doesn't work. do you have a working link?
Also, I'm not sure if the problem is that it's blank until they click on the space, or if the information is literally non existent.
I'll report back once I find a working link for the script
Thank you so much though!

PDF show up blank when emailed

I create a PDF file with my 6500A. When I open it, it displays fine. If I email it, it is blank when opened. This isn't always the case, but usually is. I have tried emailing with different browsers, sent it using Gmail and Hotmail, opened it using different browsers, and Gmail and Hotmail. No matter what I try, the recipient of the email gets a blank PDF... Please help!

I’m confused with this as well ☺
When I open an email that has an attachment in Outlook 2010, there are 2 tabs (or more depending on how many attachments there are) directly above the text of the message – one says “Message” and the other shows the file name of the attachment. If I double-click on the attached PDF it will open in Reader X, but if I just single-click on the attachment it shows a warning in the space below about only previewing files from a trusted source and it includes a “Preview” button. When I press this it opens a basic view of the document (text flashes past that says “Starting PDF Preview Handler…”, I don’t know if this handler is my installed version of Reader or if there is a basic PDf viewer in Office) and the PDF opens in the email message window in a basic format – no fillable fields shown, just text almost like a print preview. The only controls in this preview window are page up/down and view full page/fit to width. And in this preview, all of the data that was entered in the document on the tablet is shown, but if I double-click the attachment, or save the attachment and then open it, the fields are all blank.
It seems like when the Reader on the PC opens the file from the tablet, it doesn’t see the data that was entered and opens it as if it were just a new fillable PDF file. I have opened the original fillable PDF on the PC and entered information, then “saved as” and opened that completed PDF and it will retain the data in that case. I have also tried copying the completed PDF directly from the tablet using the USB cable and not emailing it and I get the same blank result.

PC-LinuxOS: Firefox has Adobe8 reader, but any site with a PDF shows a blank screen. I must download and Open with Adobe Reader. How do I reinstall?

The Firefox browser works fine, however if I attempt to open a PDF within the browser, it does not open it.
I'm just not familiar enough with the system, but understand I should be able to use a command line to access a directory, and by erasing a file, cause the system to reassociate the add-on.
I do not know the proceedure, nor which directories I need to access to reset this add-on so Firefox can reassociate it.

What is your operating system? Reader version? Downloading from what browser?

Populated PDF form in Preview shows as blank when viewing

I have a pdf template form that I have filled in.
I did this in Preview and used 'save as' to create my copy.
However, the thumbnail preview of the pdf shows as blank, and if i send it windows users or preview it in gmail, it also shows as blank.
To start with I thought that I had accidentally saved the wrong version, but no, I can double click the pdf in Finder, and it opens in Preview with all the data present, exactly as I had saved it.

What I have noticed is that if I send the pdf to another mac user, they can see all the info fine. If I send the output from Preview in gmail, and someone downloads it, they can only view the information if they click on the "highlight fields" button, but then it still doesn't look quite right, with loads of expander "+"s all over the form.
When I tried opening the form in adobe reader from the link you provided, I get a different view again. I can examine each field and view the individual data items, but it is not possible to 'show all fields'

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

Trouble with Adobe Reader Touch on Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 in tablet mode. Pdf shows up as blank pages.

I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 and when I change it to tablet mode and use the Adobe Reader Touch app, my pdf shows up as a blank page. I have installed other pdfs in the past and those show up fine. However, as of three days ago, whatever pdf I install shows up as blank on my screen. Is there a solution to fix this?

Could you please share your test file?

Print to PDF---Showing blank Page

Hi,
I have report with chart-view and filter-view.
If i Print the report into PDF without applying any of the prompts it's working fine.
When am trying to Print the report after applying prompts...(let's say if i select 100 values from a multi-selector prompt) it's showing a blank PDF page.
I tried to change the size of the PDF in the following path also...but no use
C:\OracleBI\web\javahost\config\config.xml
Can anyone suggest how can i get out from this issue(OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1)
Thanks in advance..
Pramod Sankati.

Try this to create large PDF:
1.Modify <oracle_home>\OracleBIData\web\config\instanceconfig.xml and add the <JVMOptions> tag to increase JVM heap size :
<JavaHome>C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_16</JavaHome>
<JavaHost>
<JVMOptions>-Xms256m -Xmx512m </JVMOptions>
</JavaHost>
2.Modify <oracle_home>\OracleBI\web\javahost\config\config.xml
There are two locations of <InputStreamLimitInKB>. One location is inside the <PDF> tag and another is inside the <XMLP> tag. For OBIEE (10.1.3.x), the correct tag for <InputStreamLimitInKB> is <XMLP>.
Increase the value of <InputStreamLimitInKB> inside the <XMLP> tag from default value (8192kb - 8MB) to 14336.
For example:
<PDF>

<InputStreamLimitInKB>2048</InputStreamLimitInKB>


</PDF>
<XMLP>
<InputStreamLimitInKB>14336</InputStreamLimitInKB>
</XMLP>
3.After modifying the xml files, then stop and restart the BI JavaHost and BI processes
4.Retest the problematic report and observe the outcome. Adjust if necessary in small increments.
Note: An appropriated number of <InputStreamLimitInKB> is not a magic number and you may have to try to tune it to suite your environment.
<InputStreamLimitInKB> when it is set to 0 (zero) equals unlimited; however, unlimited is not recommended. The <InputStreamLimitInKB> was designed to be a governor to prevent system overload.
I hope it helps.

Gianluca

PDF shows as a blank form

Created a PDF in reader and now shows as blank after I send in an e-mail; I see other people have the same issue. Can this be rectified through the reader platform or do I need to purchase other adobe products to solve this issue?

Mandeep,
Thank you. When you say "reader extend the form" I am assuming that is nothing more than a click away to allow the recepient of my form to view all content and make changes as well, if need be. I will look for the function that will allow me to "reader extend". Can you guide me to where "reader extend" can be found? I will look for it in the meantime.
Thank you again.

PDF converter and combine PDF pages are blank?

I signed in to Adobe and tried to use the PDF converter, but the page is blank. The combine PDF page is blank also. What happened? I can see the other tabs, but these two are blank. Need to know what is going on. Thanks.

Now it shows up after 30 minutes of trying.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

Access 2013: Sum fields on a form suddenly showing up blank

I have a simple Access database (originally built in 2010, now running 2013). Sometime in the last week or so all of the SUM fields in the database started showing up BLANK (one minute everything was working fine, the next it wasn't, not sure what happened
in between). Even when I create a new, basic form, I can't seem to get my SUM fields working.
For example, I have a table where I document number of miles traveled for work purposes, the fields include: TravelDate, ProjectID, Mileage, and Description. Mileage is a Number field, Long Integer. If I create a continuous form, connect it to the table
(same thing happens if I connect to a query), add a field in the Detail section with
Mileage as control source and txtMileage as name and a field in the FORM FOOTER that is: =Sum([txtMileage])...the SUM field is empty in
Form View. And, there are no NULL values in the data set. This is happening across all of my forms and subforms, all SUM fields are now displaying as blank.
Is it possible that I changed a global Access setting to cause this? A form setting? Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Laura

I had the same sudden issue. But I was able to determine that it involved only one workstation. All the others were fine, as well as a test run on another Win 8 station outside the environment. From there I was able to determine that a third party
app had been installed near the time of the problem showing up. I uninstalled it and it immediately was resolved. The app was a C# based tool thought the authors have yet to identify why this caused a problem. My suspicion is that they wrote a 32 bit version
and this was installed on a 64 bit station, and there is some issue with mso.dll, where I believe the function calls exist for sum. I am testing to see if there are similar function errors in Excel.
What is noticeable was that Access did not throw a an Error# nor a #name. Just nothing appeared, and when you click on a row, the sum would appear, though it was incorrect.
In Access 2010 I remember there were some footer field issues in continuous which eventually were patched.
It was an opportunity to remind my client - do not install anything from any one on the live system without prior testing.

A column in 4i showing Null & Blank simultaneously but not in 10g

Hi ,
Presently working on migrating data from discoverer 4i to discoverer 10g and post migration it seems to be succesful.
Though currently in a report we are facing the following issue :
A column in 4i viewer showing Null & Blank simultaneously but its not so in 10g.In 10g it is showing NULL only.
I tried working out with OPTION / Sheet----> Null and
even with FORMAT DATA / TEXT giving the category as NONE(depicting the format as in Database)
There was no difference with the above.
Kindly advice me regarding the above.
Regards
Sajit.

Hi,
Check the aggregation methods in the 4i and in the new version
