Place signature not working on some pdf documents

When I place signature on a document, adobe reader lets me drag a box for the area I want signed, brings up Sign Document box, accepts my password for the digital signature, and asks for a file name for the signed document, and saves the signed document. The only thing is that my signature does not show up at any point on the document. This happens on about 5% of the pdf files that people send me. (the other 95% work just fine). Even using save-as on the file prior to signing or printing the document to a new file (using cutepdf), does not allow me to place a signature on any files created from the original pdf. The only thing that works is if I print the file on paper and then scan it back into my computer - then it will let me sign the newly scanned document.
How do I fix this?

Is it the same document where Find worked earlier, but not now?
Note that Find can only work on text documents; it does not work with scanned documents, unless Acrobat has performed text recognition on the scanned image.

Find Command not working in some PDF documents

I am running Windows 7 64-bit. I recently downloaded Acrobate XI. I attempted to use the FIND command in a recently downloaded document and it searches the entire document, never finds the word I was looking for. I opened a PDF I downloaded last week and the FIND command worked appropriately. Can anyone help me solve this problem? it is very frustrating.

Preview not working on some pdfs

Hello,
Recently I have encountered problems using Preview with a few pdfs. Two different files from two different senders. (I was later able to open these email attachments on my powerbook without any problem.) When I open the files, Preview opens but the page is solid grey. I tried to open both files with Adobe, but got the following message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." The strange thing is that some pdfs open just fine and the files that don't open, like I mentioned above, open fine on another machine.
I have already tried deleting the preview.plist and that didn't work. I am considering reinstalling preview (I saw that mentioned in a post), but would appreciate any suggestions before doing so. Thanks in advance.

Try repairing permissions.
Open Diisk Utillity located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Repair Disk Permissions
Then restart your Mac, launch Preview and see if you can open those images.

Fscommand is not working when opening PDF document in browser with Acrobat 9, why?

We embedded a flash application in PDF using screen annotation. In the flash we use fscommand to call methods available in AcroJS. In acrobat reader 9, if we view the document in Internet Explorer, we receive a security sandbox violation message saying that it cannot make fscommand calls to <unknown> (allowScriptAccess is ). But when we open the document in Firefox, it works fine.

Have a read of this article on the web:
http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/99/1/FS-Command-JavaScript-Library/Page1.ht ml
The part that caught my eye was the following:
"...These methods will not work with Internet Explorer on Macs. This lack of functionality is a brower issue with communication with plugins and cannot be resolved by anyone except MicroSoft. "
I wonder if the same is true for Windows?

Arrow key and space bar do not work scrolling in PDF document with film file?

I have made a single PDF file from 26 different InDesign files, first exported to PDF:s. Text and photos. One of the documents contain a film file (.mov). As I scroll through the documents in full screen mode, once I start to play and stop the film I can no longer use the spacebar nor right arrow key to get to the next document. Only mouse works.
Adobe 11.0.10 MBP with Yosemite.
Many thanks for input!

I have an issue with some PDF documents some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying on iPhones, iPad 2s

Hi,
I have an issue with some PDF documents & some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying properly on iPhones, iPad 2s & new iPads?
PDF docs - areas of the doc only show as grey splotches regardles of viewer
MS Word Docs -
inserted graphics don't display at all,
tables & lists especially with borders are broken &
tables & lists missing the borders &
tables & lists missing the 1st 1-2 lines of the lists/tables.
This is replicated on iPhone 4s, iPhone 4Ss, iPad 2s, iPad new (x2)
It certainly happens in iOS 5.1.1 & iOS 5.1
We believe it all worked aok in iOS 5.0.1(?) & prior
There is no problems reading/seeing these PDF & Word docs on anything other than iDevices.
This is rather critical for us & if not quickly fixed/rectified will prevent us from further purchases of these devices
Rolling back to iOS 5.0.1 or prior I believe isn't possible because of the BaseBand update(?) & isn't much of an option because of the quite noticeable Battery/Charging/WiFi improvements in 5.1 & 5.1.1

Hi,
I logged a call with AppleCare & have since had explained why this occurs (some time ago)
I'll try to explain what was indicated to me.
iOS has a limited Font Set & this affects what PDFs can display. You need to use iOS supported fonts in your PDFs to see/read them properly
These supported fonts are indicated here => http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4980
Regards MS office docs, iOS doesn't have much of an API to work with MS Office documents at all so is stuck with 3rd Party Apps to try to do it.
Unfortunately Mail in/on iOS uses the API to attempt to open/use MS Office attachments unless you tell it to use an App to open the attachment.
I have had success opening & reading MS office docs now with CloudOn, but find it slow & very awkward to use.
Not too sure if this helps others, but at least it explains why this is occurring

HT1414 I have intelos and my Iphone does not work in some areas or in my house. I have had Apple replace it 2 times with the same problem. My android worked fine in all places....what's wrong with this? It's killing my business!! Any ideas to fix it??

Please help me understand why my I phone 4s is not working in some places and my HOME!! I have been to Apple 3 times and Intelos 5 times and no one knows whats wrong and they are telling me that no one else is having this problem. It's hurting my business because I can't get calls at home. I paid a lot of money for this and may have to pay to get out of it. I thought Apple was a good company but am changing my mind quick.

OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

TREX doesn't index some PDF documents ...

Hello all,
we have installed EP'04s and TREX ver. 7.00.42.00. It works well except one thing. TREX is not able to index some PDF documents. Most of them is indexed correctly but some documents not. Actually the problematic PDF documents are indexed but their content is not. In search result is displayed message "No document excerpt available" for the documents.
I found SAP Note 622419 that could relate with that but I don't know how can I check:
1. What encoding was used in particular PDF form.
2. What fonts or what font types were used in particular PDF form.
Do you have any idea how to find out these information about a document? Or do you know where could be problem when TREX are able to index content of just some PDF documents?
Regards,
Zbynek

Thank you, that was what I needed.
So now I know the test PDF document use only TrueType fonts. That means its content should be indexable for TREX but it isn't. There is just message "No document excerpt available" for this document in search results.
Could someone look at the document and try to index it? It can be downloaded from http://www.volny.cz/kabrtz/TREX/indexing_test.pdf

Hi Aquila,
Can you please try opening this PDF in your browser: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.3.pdf
If you are seeing the same blank PDF, then I suppose that you are not having the latest version of Adobe Reader i.e 10.1.4 or it can be that the browser is being used in 64-bit mode. Please use 32-bit mode of your browser.

SAP Digital signature solution in Invoice output PDF document

Hi,
We are trying to POC SAP Digital signature solution for Invoice output pdf document based on the OSS note 700495 implemengtation guide.
- Defining the log structure and database table.
- Defining signature single step and authorization group and assignment.
- Completed the configuration steps including system signature with authorization by SAP user id and password.
- Release strategy and Archiving NOT implemented for this solution as they are not required as of now.
Checked the above settings using DSIG_BOOKING_EX sample program and the same executed successfully without any errors and we can see the result 'Signature process was successfully completed by user XXXXXX'. Also we can view the signature log in DSAL Transaction.
Similar to the sample program code, Implemented the signature call in user exit ZXMCVU05(EXIT_SAPLMCS6_001) for Invoice output digital signature during VF01 create transaction.
In the process signature call processed successfully but the output PDF document does not have any signature.
Please let me know why digital signature NOT applied to invoice output pdf file. Is there any other process that need to be done?
Also if you have implemented any similar solution, please provide me the details on the same.
Thanks!

Ritwika,
Are the User Name and Password correct? Is the User assigned to the SAP_XMII_User role in Netweaver? On the iCommand's Security screen, is the SAP_XMII_User assigned as a Reader role?
Have you checked the Netweaver log? There may be more detailed information there.
Kind Regards,
Diana

TREX search failure for some pdf documents

Hi,
TREX search is not getting correct result for some pdf documents. It's not able read the content of some pdf documents. When we search with file name the search result is correct but we are getting "No document excerpt available" message in search result for this file name.
Let me know where might be the problem for those pdf docs.
Thanks

Hi Tatayya Marni,
1. Can you tell me whether the pdf documents are opening when you are selecting them?
2. This error comes mostly when you havent included this .extn file (.pdf in your case) to the portal.
3. Check whether this extn is their in your portal if not make it inclueded and then try making a new index and one new data source where your pdf is residing. Try for one Test.
You have to include the file extns in System Confi....UI Interface...
Hope this will resolve your issue.

Cannot Print Some PDF documents

Hello All,
I am unable to print some PDF documents to my printer HP (Laserjet Pro 400 color MFP). The MAC OS is Moutain Lion. The documents look like they are printing but no print job is produced and no error message is given.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Many Thanks

Hello eorilly5,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are unable to print from anything from your printer.
I would recommend these troublehsooting steps from the article named Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147.
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
All the very best,
Sterling
