Preview no longer works with pdf documents

I had downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader to solve one problem. It didn't work and I didn't like it. I liked using Preview much more and so I uninstalled it. However, after I uninstalled it, Preview no longer works to open pdf documents on the Internet. Is there anything I can do. I don't really want Adobe's Reader back because in my opinion it is an inferior product. Is there anyway just to reinstall something so that Preview works as before?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi, Stanley.
I presume you're using Safari as your Web browser and that this question pertains solely to opening PDFs via links in Web pages you are viewing in Safari.
If so:
1. Quit (Command-Q) Safari if it is open.
2. Open the Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-Ins folder.
3. If you find the file AdobePDFViewer.plugin therein, Trash it, then empty the Trash. If prompted to authenticate, provide your Admin password.
Good luck!

Images are not loading/not loading completely, persona previews no longer works with scrollover - even after complete uninstall/reinstall, but images work in IE - suggestions on how to fix this??

Images on websites often do not load or load incorrectly/incompletely load even after refreshing page and clearing caches. Often have to "clear recent history" 5 or 6 times within a single firefox session to get working links, images, completely loaded pages. The persona previews no longer do an "automatic preview" with a scroll over and now i no longer even get an image on the page to scroll over (images are just NOT THERE). I have done the safe mode test, have updated everything suggested, have checked all add ons as suggested in the troubleshooting guide and NOTHING shows as being a problem. I even did a complete uninstall and reinstall and it is STILL not working. Worried that it was an issue with my computer, i checked the pages in IE, and they worked PERFECTLY. I am uncertain what to do now. It started as a problem once or twice a week, and now it is EVERY time i bring up Firefox. Help?

the second article did offer a suggestion that SEEMS to have helped ::crosses fingers:: - an about:config, resetting of the preferences for images. we'll see how long it lasts. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the suggestion, the article wasn't one i'd found while searching for troubleshooting info.
Java script is enabled, but the persona's stuff still isn't working. dang it. WELL, one thing seems to work now, at least. thank you.

Lock screen preview no longer working with 10.3.1

Hi
We have updated all devices running work space only to 10.3.1 and the device no longer shows message previews in the lock screen.
Is this a bug?
I have turned on all instant preview options on the device.
Thanks

Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Links no longer work after signing document

Links no longer work after signing document - I have updated to latest version and run installation repair, is this a problem or is it supposed to do that?

Hi;
This question would be best asked in the Acrobat signatures Forums, it is related to using Adobe Acrobat/Reader and does not have anything to do with the online service, Adobe Fill & Sign. Someone should be able to answer your question here: https://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/security_%26_digital_signatures

Signon.useDOMFormHasPassword no longer working with FF 30

Seems that the "signon.useDOMFormHasPassword" workaround (latest working version is FF 29.0.1) to automatically populate username/password fields protected by "autocomplete=off" no longer works with FF 30.
Now with FF 30 I always have to double click each of those "protected" username input field to select the only one entry to automatically populate the corresponding password input field. This is pretty annoying as there is only ONE username to select (which should be auto filled). Why did you disable the above workaround? Is there an other way to re-enable username/password autofill for autocomplete=off protected input fields?
I already tried the following parameters, but nothing changed:
signon.autofillForms;true
signon.overrideAutocomplete;true

I came across this bug already and it describes exactly my issue. Previous to FF 30 the combination of the greasmonkey script AND the signon.useDOMFormHasPassword pref enabled the autofill of password fields. Now that the signon.useDOMFormHasPassword pref is gone in FF 30 this no longer works. I don't think it can be solved by updating the greasmonkey script, the bug explains the reason why:
I'v tried moving the GreaseMonkey script to run as early as I can using "@run-at document-start" and a DOMContentLoaded eventListener on the document but it still runs too late, by the time it runs the new Password Manager has already seen the page content.
So it seems that the workaround was removed in FF 30 without providing a fix for the issue. Again my problem is not about saving passwords on autocomplete=off fields (this is working fine) but on loading them back into this fields without the need to double click the username field and select the single entry.

Image Capture no longer working with Samsung SCX-4500W

Out of the blue, Image Capture is no longer working with my scanner (Samsung SCX-4500W). Until today, I have had no problems, but now Image Capture will only complete the "overview" but not the "scan" itself. I get the message that the "scanner reported an error." I have tried restarting, unplugging cables, etc. but nothing works. I don't think there is a problem with the scanner itself -- it is able to scan using the built-in "scan to PC" function, but not Image Capture. I am using OS X 10.6.1. Any suggestions?

Try running a repair disk permissions. This is done via the Disk Utility application. Reply if you need help to do this.
Also, do you have another application you can scan with? Note that Preview will use Image Capture, so you need some other application. As a test, you could download Picasa from Google which works well with TWAIN scanners.

HP LaserJet Professional M1217nfw no longer works with ipad/iphone's coupons.com and Grocery IQ apps

I have had this printer for several years. It worked flawlessly until a unilateral automatic HP firmware update bricked it at the beginning of last year. After months of inactivity, it started working again last week after I deleted and reinstalled everything from scratch.
Everything is back the way it was -- except the two apps I really value no longer work with it.
My iphone and ipad -- which both worked flawlessly with this printer for years -- now do not see the printer at all for several minutes and then it finally appears with a red warning button that says "printer not recognized"
I have not upgraded any OS. The only thing that changed was on HP's end.
I tried deleting and reinstalling the apps. No change.
I have HP's eprint software, but that does not help with these apps, as they use an internal printing mechanism and the actual coupon with the bar code is never visible on screen (and thus unable to be printed via another method).
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi @krenster
Welcome back to the HP Support Forums. I understand that there are two apps that no longer work with Apple’s AirPrint feature.
I know you didn’t mention that you were getting this error, but the troubleshooting steps for “What if a 'No AirPrint Printers Found' message displays on my Apple device?” in the Printing Over a Wireless Network with Apple's AirPrint FAQs document should help resolve the issue.
If the above doesn’t help, to better assist you, would you please supply some additional information?
How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
Are you able to print from other apps that support AirPrint?
What version of iOS are you using on your Apple mobile device? I’m asking because apps will send out updates making them no longer functional with older operating systems. For example the HP ePrint app on iTunes was updated on October 25, 2014 and now requires the iOS device to be a minimum of iOS 6.0 or later. I have checked the two apps you mention in the thread title, and the Grocery IQ app requires your Apple device to be a minimum of iOS 6.0 or later and the coupons.com app requires your Apple device to be a minimum of iOS 7.0 or later. If you are unsure how to check this, please follow the steps in Apple’s iPhone, iPad, iPod: How to find the software version
Has there been any changes to your network, such as a new router, or a new internet provider?
Thank you.

Why LR4.4 no longer works with Blurb?

Hi,
why LR4.4 no longer works with Blurb?
If I configure a book and then click Submit to Blurb does not happen anymore. I even looked at the network traffic and it seems as if the IP is pinged to the contact record no longer respond. I do not understand. This has worked fine all the time. On the computer no setting has been changed. No software is installed that would prevent something. The last book has worked wonderfully. Interesting things, when I export the book as PDF and then upload at Blurb, Blurb complains that the standard by which PDF is not true. X2003 PDF version .... but I am surprised very strong and I really suspect that there adobe wants to put a stop to that one is supposed to buy the new LR version. But everything just a guess. Maybe someone can help me or even has a similar problem.
greeting
Mario.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If not successful that means that the IOS update broke compatibility, Since the 3G and 4G iPods has difference hardware, there are some differences in the iOSs for the two model iPod.

"Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option not working with all documents

Said option (found under Edit/Preferences, category Documents), which works like an automatic bookmark in that it takes you back to the same place you were at when you last closed a document, is very useful, but apparently doesn't work with *all* documents.
- Does anyone know what determines whether a given document works with this option or not?
- Is this by design or a bug? A matter of PDF format version?
- Is there a way to work around the problem?
I've compared two documents, only one of which works with the option, to determine what the relevant difference may be, and found two suspects (under File/Properties): the PDF version (1.5 in the document that works, 1.4 in the one that doesn't), and 'Fast Web View' ('yes' in the document that works, 'no' in the one that doesn't).
Thanks,
Michael

This seems to be a problem with some PDF files.
Suggested workaround: If the PDF you have allows "Save As", then try save-as to a new file. The "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option should then work as expected (in the new file).

Recently upgraded to Mavericks... was working with Pages documents from previous OS ... Pages is now frozen and I don't dare force quit and loose my old documents.

Recently upgraded to Mavericks... was working with Pages documents created with previous OS ... Pages is now frozen and I don't dare force quit and loose my old documents. How can I "thaw".... unfreeze Pages? Have several pages windows open that I was working on.

I also had this problem after I installed Mavericks: Pages files freezing at close, need to force quit.
Workaround: when saving any document created with an earlier version of Pages, be sure to untick the "include preview in document".
For some reason, this resolves the problem.
BTW "loose" is not a verb. You probably mean "lose".

Collect Feedback workflow with pdf documents

Hi,
Is it possible to incorporate collect feedback workflow with pdf documents ?
Thanks
techie

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to incorporate collect feedback workflow with pdf documents.
Before you add a workflow, you plan where you want to add it (for a single list or library, or for the entire site collection) and the details of how it will work.
If you want to add the pdf documents to a library, you can add the collect feedback workflow for a library. Please refer to:
https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/All-about-Collect-Feedback-workflows-a0fd6fc5-0625-4aef-a41f-40aadbc9d946#add1add
If you want to make the pdf documents as a template of a content type, you can
add the collect feedback workflow for a content type. Please refer to:
