Preview not functioning correctly with PDF files

For some time I've put up with minor issues with Preview when viewing and editing PDF files.
However, over the last little while it has gotten progressively worse. More and more PDF documents that I download, buy, print, or get from others are failing to display properly. Fonts will be wrong, images will be missing, or it is impossible to search for text or copy and paste from the files.
The files in question are not encrypted, and they work fine in Adobe Reader on Mac and Windows, Adobe Acrobat, and even Foxit Reader in Windows.
Does anyone have any idea what causes this and how it might be fixed, or is this just bugs in Preview?
The problem has been getting worse, though I have insufficient information to know why.
Another problem with Preview is that when I edit PDF files to annotate them, it is corrupting them somehow. What happens is I will do something like highlight text and insert a few notes using Preview, and then I'll save the PDF.
From that point forward, searching no longer works on the file, and if I copy and paste anything from the file it is all garbage text.
Again, I can do this without issue using Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader.
I would prefer to keep using Preview so I thought I'd ask to see if anyone else is seeing these issues and has any ideas to fix them, or if the consensus is that there is currently no solution.

The thing is, when I right click a pdf file, and then go to properties, change default program to open with, select browse, I select it in the correct folder, when I click open, it doesnt open and the programs stay blank, so I cant select anything. There is nothing to select. And I have re-installed. But at the end of the install there are no options what file types to associate with. Any way to do it inside Reader?
I have reader 9.2.0. and Win7 up to date. When I'm opening and closing allot of files the whole time, I don't want to do inside reader. Help please?

Iphoto preview not showing corrections with Yosemite

I created a new iPhoto file for 2015 and when I make adjustments to some of the photos with an outside editor (PhotoShop), the preview image does not show the corrections after making the changes. This has always worked before.
If I click to open the preview image after changes were made, the image shows with the corrections made but the menu under photos does not have the "revert to original" active and is grayed out, even though there have been changes. Yet, if I check the package contents of the 2015 iPhoto file to check the contents for the new pictures, the changed photos are shown under previews and the originals are shown in masters.
Since I got the iPhone, I had not used my digital camera since a June 2014 vacation. The preview corrections will always show if it is an iPhone picture but will not show the corrections if it is from my digital camera. If I export the camera photos with Image Capture to another folder not associated with iPhoto, then import the the pictures into iPhoto using the Import function, corrections will be saved and the preview will change to show the corrections (as previously). The picture also shows the revert to original option as available.
I had not used the camera since I upgraded to Yosemite so I went back to experiment in Mavericks which is on another drive and imported a test picture from the camera into iPhoto, made extreme changes to make it easier to see in the preview, and saved. The preview showed the corrections and iPhoto behaved as expected. I imported the same picture into Yosemite from the camera into iPhoto, made new radical changes and the preview did not change, no revert available, or the changes saved. Import in both instances was using the same picture on the same SDHC card in an external card reader.
These experiments seem to show that the problem is not my pictures or the card, but it a problem with iPhoto importing digital camera pictures under Yosemite. Since the iPhone imports directly and not through a reader, can it be that iPhoto under Yosemite has a problem communicating with the reader that does still work under Mavericks?
I know how to avoid the problem by this two step importing, although it will not break the photos into the auto-split of the events to individual days as would be if directly imported, but as one cluster of multiple day photos - a problem since I sort by date under View. The splitting by days is important for me. I do not want to sort trip pictures into individual days before importing as I might have as many as 1,000 photos in a single trip!
Is there a solution?

Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

If I don't attach the file, DIR is created but if attach some files, it does not work. What should I do??
regards.

Hi,
You can use the below to attach the file from BSP to SAP. But it doesnt use the BAPI - 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2'. It works perfectly for me. Let me know if you have any questions.
Note: This code put the file into SAP Directory "/userapps/master_data/" as well as it upload the file into Transaction WTY since i am using Business object:BUS2222. You may need to modify the Business object if you ahve the one, otherwise you can just put it into SAP DIR.

I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive. It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly. How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM. (BTW - design flaw)

I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive. It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly. How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM. (BTW - design flaw here.)
Older Macs with a single Harddrive would simply expand OS management on the drive, and I think I understand the new Fusion Drive to do just that, but how do I get this product that I spent a great deal of money on to be more than a pretty screen?

I was confused by this statement
It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.
OS X manages ram and when you run out, it create swapfiles to extend your ram on the HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The OS itself, takes about 16 gig of space and that too resides on the HDD. Your 16 gig of RAM is really a temporary space that holds things from the HDD so the processor can work on them. There is no design flaw between your ram and HDD. Something else is going on and there are a lot of smart people here to help you figure out what that "something else" is.
I would do three things. First I would create a backup, backups are important. Second, I would reboot into recovery and repair my HDD. Lastly while still booted in recovery I would repair permissions.
Can you capture a screen shot of the exact error you are getting?

Hi Eidda,
This may because the attachment is a winmail.dat file. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information. Note: the article is written for OS X mail, but does also apply to this situation.

From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Elements 12 Organizer not functioning correctly uploading files and viewing.

Elements 12 Organizer does not function correctly. It will upload new files but will not allow me to view correctly or edit. I attempts to reconnect files. When I attempt to do this manually it states that the files are already there. Very frustrating and Adobe representatives will not assist me.

Windows Media Player 12 is installed.

Preview troubles with PDF files?

Until recently, Preview had opened every and any PDF file. Now, I receive the following message.
+Multiple files are bound together in this PDF Package.+
+Adobe recommends using Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat version 8 or later to work with documents contained within a PDF Package. By updating to the latest version, you’ll enjoy the following benefits:+
+• Efficient, integrated PDF viewing • Easy printing • Quick searches+
+Don’t have the latest version of Adobe Reader?+
+Click here to download the latest version of Adobe Reader+
+If you already have Adobe Reader 8, click a file in this PDF Package to view it.+
What's going on?
Please help!

If you want to use preview always as the default PDF file viewer then follow above tip. And, you might see a button 'change all...' you might want to click that too to make it the default viewer.

Paste the link function in a pdf file in the preview is missing?

Paste the link function in a pdf file in the preview is missing? Please insert again, in Lion he was still there, please help me

Don't think so. If it is it would be in the metadata for the PDF -- ctrl D and select the left most tab. There should be a button for additional data if you want to explore.

I have configured PDF Genrataor in LiveCycle 2.5. When I place a folder (which has doc file in it) in the IN folder..I expect the OUT to contain same folder (with pdf file in it), But it does not happen.

I have configured PDF Genrataor in LiveCycle 2.5. I have configured my watchedfolder endpoints.
When I place a folder (which has doc file in it) in the IN folder..I expect the OUT to contain same folder (with pdf file in it), But it does not happen. What I see in in the OUT folder I see a pdf file with the foldername and pdf extension....
Can anyone suggest.......

Why do we have to install 2 add ins for something that should be built in? Please add this to the next version or an update to this one even. We should see the full path of a bookmark when we search for it. Show Parent Folder alone isn't enough if you have sub folders, so I installed Go Parent Folder as well in case of sub folders.

HT1338 why i'm not able to open pdf files? says i need adobe reader, but not sure where to get it.

Touchpad not functioning correctly

I have an Envy 17,(Windows 7) and the touch pad is not functioning correctly. I have had it do similar things in the past but they seemed to fix themselves after a few minutes, but this time it just keeps messing up. I CAN click on programs to open them but once in a program, I cannot click on anything. I CAN click on links when online, but they always open in a new tab and when I attempt to click on a new tab, the tab completely closes out. Once a program is opened, I cannot close/minimize/maximize it using the touchpad, nor can I access File/Edit/other menu options. I also cannot click in a typing field. (I'm using a different computer to do this post)I can barely move the curser around. It jumps or freezes up. I move it up about an inch and as soon as I take my finger off the touchpad the curser goes back to where it originally was. I've tried restarting the computer but that hasn't worked. I've attempted tried some other things as well, but since I cannot click on anything with the touchpad and can barely move the curser, I am at a loss for what to even try. Everything was working fine this morning. I literally got up from the computer, made breakfast and sat back down and it was all glitched up. No one had touched it... I had not recently downloaded anything nor have I made any updates to the computer. Thank you, Neyephe

Hello there, It sounds like there is a hardware issue with your touchpad, which you need to replace. As stated in the warranty, the touchpad may only be replaced by an Authorized Service Provider. If you cannot find any places that are authorized, you may contact the HP Support Center via phone and arrange a date for your touchpad to be replaced. In the meantime, you can buy a USB mouse to navigate your laptop. Best wishes getting your issue fixed! Best Regards,Shawn
