Preview Livecycle PDf in Windows 7 Preview Pane

Is there a way to preview Livecycle PDF's in the Windows 7 Preview Pane?

Hi,
when you save an XFA form as PDF, it creates a shell PDF that surrounds the complete XFA contents.
This shell PDF itself is a simple one page PDF with a message for the users if the PDF viewer wasn't able to read the XFA contents.
This message looks this way.
In the Windows Explorer you will only see this message in the preview, because it dosn't support XFA.

Livecycle generated PDF won't preview in Windows Folder

Hi,
I've noticed that PDFs I've created via livecycle won't auto preview when single clicked in a windows folder. If I take the Livecycle created PDF and print that to a new PDF, then it will preview (See below)
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this could be happening?

Thanks,

Okay, but what Terminal command did you attempt to use before? What happens in the new user account when you try Safari there? Do you have any Input Managers installed? Those are located in /Library/InputManagers and Home/Library/InputManagers; if you don't have either of those folders, then you have no Input Managers.
You can also try quitting Safari and going to Home/Library/Preferences and deleting the com.apple.Safari.plist file, then restarting Safari and resetting all your preferences to see if that resolves the problem. But don't do that until after you've had no luck with the things above.

Acrobat Pro X PDF previewing not working in Windows 7 64-bit

Greetings, all,
The organization I work for recently purchased a volume license for Acrobat Pro X. We uninstalled Adobe Reader from all of our machines and installed Acrobat Pro X on them. After the move, the PDF preview handler stopped working. People commonly link to the URL below, but it has not worked for us. It appears it only works for the PDF preview handler packaged with Adobe Reader, not the one packaged with Acrobat Pro.

Users are unable to preview PDFs in Windows Explorer and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. When attempting to preview in Windows Explorer, the following appears:
This file can't be previewed.
What can we do to get the preview handler working in Windows Explorer (Windows 7 64-bit) and Office Outlook 2007?
Thanks in advance!

OK. Then do you mean the thumbnails in Windows Explorer? I don't have a solution for that, but there have been several posts about the issue.
Well, thumbnails in Explorer don't work either, but we're not concerned about it. The preview pane is what we're worried about. There is a button in the top-right that turns the pane on. Previewing in Outlook does not work either.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Convert LiveCycle PDF to work in Preview-Mac OSX

I have a PDF form created in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 9.0 and need it to be converted to open and work using a Mac. Mac's built in PDF viewer is Preview. When I open this PDF in "Preview", I get the “Please wait…” message. But in Acrobat Pro this PDF open fine. Please suggest how we can open this in application "Preview".

A lot of times I find this in my opinion to be the fault of the form developer, not the software folks. There are many folks who get a new package like AA X and decide it is best to redesign all of the forms with this software, forgetting that many folks use prior versions of Acrobat/Reader/other viewer. They then expect everyone else to keep up with them. This is also a reason to stay with AcroForms in many cases rather than move to Designer forms. I see this move by form designers to be more of a problem than the software itself. It may be that the form developers should have saved the form for backward compatibility and that is the issue you are having. In fact, you indicated early on that the college upgraded their forms and I consider this short-sighted on their part (maybe you should tell them). I try to encourage folks around here to keep compatibility several versions back. When they do not, there are often folks who can not use the new form!
So, it is partly a software issue and also short-sightedness on the part of the form developer. The latter can get around the problem and chose not to (or maybe doesn't know how).

Preview a PDF inside my AIR application inside transparent and custom window

I have a transparent windows (skinnable). Inside, I'd like to preview some pdf file. BUT, in the only a black screen appear, can you help me?
Thanks

AIR does not support this inherently. However, you could write code to parse these file formats. For example, the following is an ActionScript 3.0 library for reading and writing Excel files:

In Safari how do I open a .PDF file in Preview instead of Adobe Reader?

When a pdf file opens on my computer in Safari, it opens with Adobe Reader (v. 7.0.8). Until recently, I could right-click on my mouse and and a drop-down menu would appear with the option to open the pdf file in Preview instead of Adobe. That option has now disappeared from the drop-down menu. Can anyone explain how to get back the menu option to open the pdf file in Preview? Thanks. David

My computer automatically open PDF inside the Safari
window, but I wish it would go back to opening it
externally via Adobe. (maybe we should trade
computers:-)
Anyway, we have the same question.
How do we control whether PDF launches internal to
Safari, or external in Adobe?
This is what I would like to as well. I often have a lot of pdf files I need to open and then save to my hard drive. When I click on a pdf file on a website Safari opens it and then I need to right click in the document to open it with Adobe. How can I get it to open in Adobe the first time without having to right click after it opens in Safari?
Thanks!

Can't combine two PDF doc in Preview and save under different title.

I regularly used Preview to combine two scanned pages into a single document and them save them under a different name using "Save As..." With Lion I get a unhappy run-around within Versions and can't save the combined document. I wound up placing the two files in folder and zipping it for transmission via Mail. What is the procedure under Lion with Versions, or how do I disable Versions? I can track my documents quite adequately without Versions.

You can combine PDFs directly in Preview, but the interface is a little tricksy.
First open the sidebar in Preview. If your existing PDF has only one page, there will be just that one thumbnail.
The key is to drag new files onto this thumbnail/icon, not below it. If you drag below it you'll just show two separate docs in the same preview window-- but if you drag on top onto it it will highlight and the two files will combine. Then you can hit save.

Problem Creating Internal pdf Links In Preview

I am trying to create internal links in a pdf file within Preview. When I "Set Destination" to a particular page within the file, the link always goes to the page after the one I set. The strange thing is that when I view the same file on a Windows PC it works right. Any ideas how to fix?

Did you ever find out why this happens? I am having the same problem and so is another mac user I know. We can't figure it out!

Automatically bring up pdf files in Preview (or at least Safari)

Ideally, I would like the ability to click on a pdf file in Safari and have it automatically bring it up in Preview. I believe you need a plug-in for that and it looks like that doesn't exist (or does it). Assuming that's the case, I would settle for bringing up the pdf in Safari and then doing a ctrl-click to open with Preview. Right now opening a pdf in Safari opens a separate little window which takes more than a few seconds. It used to open up in Safari, but in all my messing around trying to figure this out, that stopped working and I can't figure out how to make it do that again.
Here's my situation and what I've tried so far. First, I have an Intel Mac and don't want to run under Rosetta for performance reasons (things take twice as long!), so Adobe, Shubert's plug-ins, etc. won't work. Adobe is too slow anyways, but I kinda like Shubert's. I've set my default pdf reader for all pdf files to Preview. I've tried turning Adobe's option to use it as the default browser plug-in on and off. I've reinstalled Adobe, removed it and reinstalled it again. I've removed the Adobe plug-in from the Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder and put it back again.
I've tried making this work with every conceivable combination of the above with no luck. Like I said, if I could just get back to having a pdf open in the Safari browser, I could make it work from there to open Preview. But if there's any way to open Preview directly from opening a pdf in Safari, that would be the bomb. Or if anyone knows of any other good pdf browser plug-ins that work with Intel based Macs running safari natively, that would be acceptable too. Spent many hours researching this on the boards as well as trying stuff. Hopefully someone can steer me correctly. Thanks.

Well Starman, I did everything you said to do to reinstall Safari and it still brings up that separate little window as opposed to bringing up the pdf in the browser. The Software Update didn't do anything after reinstalling Safari, so I reinstalled 10.4.8. Still no luck with the pdf.
One interesting thing I tried is that I set Safari so it would run using Rosetta and then set Adobe Acrobat to use the plug-in. When I brought up a pdf, it used the Adobe plug-in, but it still brought it up in a separate window and not within the browser. When running under Rosetta without the Adobe Plug-In turned on, it brought the pdf up in the separate little window again, but not the Adobe Plug-In - similar to when not running under Rosetta.
Now a few days ago I did download the Shubert Plug-In and turned Rosetta on so I could check it out. It brought up that plug-in in that little window. Now I'm not sure of this, but I think that was the first time that little window came up and I haven't been able to get rid of it since. I trashed the Shubert Plug-In, but could it be possible that something from that is hanging out there causing this problem? Or?

Merging PDF Files in Preview 5 in OS X v10.7 Lion

I recently updated to the OSX v10.7 Lion operating system. In the previous version I had, I was able to merge two or more PDF files in Preview just by dragging the thumbnail. However, in the Lion version, it is not allowing to drag one PDF file into another. It just opens them as different files in the same preview window. I need to know if someone can help me figure out how to merge these files 'cause I can't send ten different PDF files to my client. Thank you so much for any help you can provide.

Use 'Automator (applications > automator.app).
Choose 'Workflow'.
Type 'get specified finder' in the little search box.
From the list drag 'get specified finder files' into the the panel on the right. Click 'options' and check 'Show this action when the workflow runs'.
Next type 'combine pdf' in the search box, and drag 'Combine pdf pages' into the panel on the right underneath the previous one.
Save the workflow to your apps folder.
Whenever you want to merge any pdfs, click on the workflow. Add the pdfs to the dialogue box, click 'Run' in the top left of Automator. To find the resulting merged pdf, click 'Results'.
This is no doubt a clumsy way of doing it, but it works.

Merging pdf documents in Preview while maintaining OCR capability

...isn't working. I can copy text from the individual pdf's, but when I merge them, the OCR text is replaced with "_". This happening to anyone else? This is happening on more than one Mac here at the office.
I'm opening one file, expanding the sidebar, then dragging each subsequent file ONTO the page of the original. Then I save-as and that's the result I'm getting.

Thanks Linc. This document seems a misleading. I'm not sure what the combining of PDFs in this manner is supposed to do, but it does not seem to merge the files.
After the three documents are brought together in one, you end up with three separate documents combined in one Preview window, which is handy for looking at them, but not for much else.
When you close the window you still have three separate documents. The title "Combining PDF documents using Preview" seems quite misleading.

Garbled text when copy-pasted from a pdf document in Preview

I have this PDF document which I created in NeoOffice. When I copy some text from it, then paste it somewhere (or just go to Finder>Edit>Show Clipboard) I see garbled text. Or, if I go into the search field within Preview and type a word which I know exists in the PDF, it doesn't find it. But if I copy-paste it from the PDF document window into the search field, the copied term appears garbled in the search field itself, but I do get search results.
This happens only with this particular document, which I myself produced. No password/encryption or anything weird; just a straightforward print job from within NeoOffice.
Any clues? Many thanks.

happens to me all the time in preview, copying something that I need to paste, like a URL. Quitting and relaunching usually solves it, but now that won't work on the text I am copying today.
