Please help me recover a lost PDF file from Adobe Reader XI

Hi,
I was filling out a VA form 5655 in Adobe, and twice today, I lost my file and I just cannot type all of this stuff again, because I had to do so much math and typing and more math. All of a sudden "bloop", it was gone. When I try to go into file, then revert, revert is not highlighted. I tried pulling up history and it said there was no history. I just don't know what else to do, and I need this for the morning. Please help? Thanks

Hi Pat,
I filled it out directly from the blank PDF online, and never got a chance
to save the whole document. I did however save it about 1/2 way through,
but yet cannot find that 1/2 of the document either. Thanks.

Please help..question about sending pdf file from my ipad to another

I have a pdf file in Kindle that shows up under documents. I am wanting to locate it and send it from my ipad to another..whether through email or even share through kindle. I contacted kindle and they said I have to contact apple with instructions to retreiving the pdf before I can send it. Anyone know how to do it. It shows up in docs on my kindle app but doesnt show up in itunes or on amazon. Help appreciated!!!!

I copied this from another discussion - that ironically enough - James and I both participated in. The OP never responded to what I suggested, but I think that this may work.
I think that the Kindle app uses file sharing so see if you can transfer the files to the computer via iTunes with file sharing.
iOS: About File Sharing
Then drag the pdf file from the file sharing window (or use the save to button) onto your desktop. Email it from there and you can even email it to yourself on the iPad and store it any other other PDF app that you may have.

How do I retrieve a deleted PDF file from Adobe Reader on iPad?

I inadvertently deleted a very important PDF file from the Adobe Reader on iPad. Does anyone know what I can do to retrieve it? A reply would be highly appreciated!

Unfortunately, once a file is deleted, you won't be able to "undelete" it.
Have you backed up your iPad using iCloud or iTunes recently? If so, you can restore the entire content (not just a single PDF file) on your iPad.

Illustrations greyed-out when printing PDF file from Adobe Reader

Hello,
From within PageMaker 7 I've made a 52-page PDF document in Distiller (selected job option is for Print) and uploaded it to my website. It contains many greyscale illustrations (TIFs and JPGs first imported into PageMaker), and text. I am able to view the PDF file over the net, and can print the illustrations and text on each page with no problem. I am using an old HP laser printer (LaserJet 5L). Other users are able to view the same PDF document on the net, and they can see all the illustrations and text on every page. However, some users who have tested it are reporting that when they try to print out the pages on their own printers, most of the illustrations are greyed-out between pages 3 and 51. The text is printing correctly on their printers. The images on the front and back cover are printing, and so is an 11-page comic strip (made up entirely of 11 TIFs, with no additional text). Can anyone work out why all the other illustrations throughout the document are printing greyed-out on their printers?
Thanks
Roger3

I am replying to my own question.
After posting here, I received feedback from a viewer that the PDF file is downloading and printing out pages with no greying-out of the illustrations. It looks to me as though the problems are arising from other viewers' slow internet connections and/or hardware RAM for printing, especially if trying to print all pages at once, rather than Saving As to hard drive, then printing.
Thanks,
Roger3

Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader

Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader.
I installed the latest adobe reader for my Mac. Everything is set up. Every time i go to open a pdf file, this shows up...
"Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch adobe reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
I installed it through the adobe reader website for free. And even though it says 'by clicking "install now" you are agreeing to accept the user licence agreement terms and conditions' it still says i need to accept the T&C's.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and same thing over and over again.
Can someone help!?!?!
Please contact me via email direct ASAP at....

Thank you

Did you actually try doing what the message suggests? Open Adobe Reader and accept the EULA?

Accidentally turned my pdf file from adobe to word and can't get it back

I changed my pdf file from Adobe to microsoft word and don't know how to get the default back to Adobe. How do recover this default?

Hi stevekirch,
Do you mean that all PDF files are trying to open in Word instead of Adobe? If so, right-click on a PDF file, move your mouse pointer to Open with, and then click Choose default program... Select Adobe Reader from the list of programs, make sure there's a check mark next to Always use the selected program to open this kind of file, and then click OK. That should switch it back so that all PDF files open with Adobe automatically.
Please click the thumbs up button to say "Thanks!"

Could some one give help and let me know where I can probably find the settings option that allows me to change and switch to previous situation where it was possible to decide time to time how to proceed either opening the file or saving it ??
Thanks in advance

Problem opening pdf files with Adobe Reader in Windows 7

I bought a new Dell (Inspiron 5110) with pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium (Version 6.1 SP1, 64 bit) and pre-installed Adobe Reader X (10.1.1). I cannot open ANY of my old pdf files with the Adobe reader (even after I re-installed the Adobe Reader). On another computer with Windows 7 I get the same error message. When I installed several other pdf-readers (Sumatra, Foxit, ..) I can still not open the pdf's -- but all the pdf's still open under Windows XP on my old computer and they also open on all my colleagues' non-Windows 7 computers. So it appears to be a Windows 7 problem. The Adobe error message says 'Adobe Reader could not open _.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (…..).
N.B.: I can download pdf files from the internet and can then open these 'new' pdf files with Adobe Reader X.
N.B.2.: Most of the 'old' pdf files are scientific articles downloaded from various journal websites 2002-2011, so their quality should be out of question.
N.B.3.:I've transfered the files via memory stick and portable HD.
N.B.4.: If I try to open the pdf's via 'Open with' the problem remains the same.
N.B.5.: When, on my Win7 Dell, I've uploaded/attached one of these old pdf files to an email the rtecipient could not tead it. But he could read it when I'd sent the same file from my old Win XP computer.
N.B.6.: I have repeated this last observation: When I upload an old pdf file on my Win7 Dell to my email account and then send it to myself, I cannot open/read it on my Win XP (nor on the Dell, of course). Although the file size is precisely the same.
N.B.7.: When I download a new pdf on my Dell, then upload/attach it to an email also on the Dell and send it to myself, I can download and read the attached pdf on both computers.
Would be grateful for any suggestions.

This is really strange.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I can understand, any PDF which is launched on your Win 7 OS fails to open, even though the same file works perfectly fine on your Win XP machine?
Could you please run a full system anti virus scan on the said PDFs that are present on your local system. It could be a case of infected PDFs.
Also, it would be great if you could try and download some of the erroneous PDFs from the web again, and see if you experience the same behavior.
Thanks

Wpf open PDF file in Adobe Reader with a click on a button

I need a button to open a PDF file with Adobe Reader. I have the following code but it does not work. The file is inside Books folder
on my application.
private void openPDF(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
try
System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
bookPDF = "Books/" + dataRow.ItemArray[6].ToString();
Uri pdf = new Uri(bookPDF, UriKind.Relative);
process.StartInfo.FileName = pdf.LocalPath;
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
catch(Exception error)
MessageBox.Show("Could not open the file.", "Error", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Warning);
I tested a simple string with a test pdf file to open and it opens.
String file = "C:\pdf\Windows_Server_2008_R2_Unleashed.pdf";
process.StartInfo.FileName = file;
process.Start(); process.WaitForExit();

Hi Carlos Sota,
In my experience, I suggest that you could set Copy to Output Directory property of the PDF file to “Copy always”.
Below are my code snippet and screenshot.
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
try
System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
string path = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory+@"/abc.pdf";
Uri pdf = new Uri(path, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
process.StartInfo.FileName = pdf.LocalPath;
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
catch (Exception error)
MessageBox.Show("Could not open the file.", "Error", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Warning);

How do open PDF file with Adobe Reader?

I failed to open PDF file with Adobe Reader? Please show how to fix it.

Mac or Win? OS and Reader versions? Where is the file and how did you try to open it? What happened when you tried? Any error messages? Details, please.

I'm not able to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.

I recently updated to Adobe Reader XI and now I can't open any of my PDF documents or PDF e-mail attachments. When I click on a document I now get a window that asks if I want to allow this file to open. I click yes and get a monstrousity the likes I've never seen. It blacks out my screen for a couple seconds and then I get a mixture of my desktop, task bar, and a window wanting to know if I want to open this with Protected Mode disabled. It only fills 3/4 of the screen, the items all all blown-up in size, and are distorted. In playing with this I have gotten notes that I have an "Incompatable Application" and "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDS Server". On occasion I will get an Adobe Reader screen that is completely greyed out with no content in it and after a couple of seconds it goes off. Other times I got the window about Protected Mode and I've clicked on to disable it but that doesn't work either. I removed Adobe Reader XI and re-installed Adobe Reader X and I still have the same problem which I did not have before. I 'm running Windows 7 Professional and have McAfee anti-virus, which I have disbled on one occasion during download and that I still had the same problem. I went to program files to find the End User License Agreement and try to see if I needed to click on 'Accept" but it tells me the file does not exist. I even tried using System Restore to take me back to before I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and I still have this problem. I'm at the end of my knowledge level and because these files are needed in my business I'm only able to operate at about 50%.
