Problem deleting pdf files on network ressources when preview window of the explorer is enabled

Some of our customers have the Preview Function enabled in Windows Explorer. When they delete a pdf File on a network ressource (\\server1\share1\ for example) in Windows Explorer the file disappears, but will not be deleted immediately. After a refresh of the current explorer window, the file apperas again. After 30-60 seconds and a refresh of the Windows Explorer View, the file disappears definitely.
The problem exists only on various network ressources and when the Preview Function of the Windows Explorer is enabled. On local drives the pdf Files will be deleted immediately and don't appear again. With any other file types except pdf, there is no problem.
Problem exists on 32 and 64 Bit Windows 7, all current security Updates installed. Current Version of  Adobe Reader X is also installed.
Anyone have an idea?

Disable the preview function of Windows Explorer.

  • My firefox doesn't upload pdf files. It only opens a window with the link and a white or black page...

    Installed firefox a few days ago.
    Have Adobe Acrobat program.

    Check your downloads ("Ctrl+J").
    A PDF will be downloaded whether you choose to view in Firefox or choose to view outside of Firefox for more control. A tab would be created with no content if you had it open in a new tab and is not read in Firefox.

  • Preview doesn't change the view of PDF files to two pages when selected

    http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/byjimini/Screenshot2009-09-02at175852.jpg
    I download chords in PDF format, and on Tiger before they would load up in two pages side-by-side, like a book, so I wouldn't have to scroll down - because I'm plucking the strings and fingering chords with both hands.
    Since installing Snow Leopard I can't get it to do the same. In the screenshot, I've zoomed out and it still won't put them side-by-side. It's no sue to me having to scroll down because I don't have a spare hand when I'm playing, and if I zoom out too much then I can't see the chords or lyrics!

    Two-page view doesn't start until pages 2-3. The way they've set it up, there is always an even-numbered page on the left and an odd-numbered page on the right -- which is the norm for printed books.
    In Apple's eyes, I guess this is a feature, not a bug. But I find this very annoying, especially because it means that it's impossible to display the two pages of a 2-page PDF file side by side using Preview. At the very least, this behavior should be controllable from preferences (e.g. a check-box for "always display even-numbered pages on left in 2-page view" that can be unchecked).
    The various Adobe PDF-reading programs do not have this "feature", so I guess you need to use something like that to solve the problem.

  • HT5678 I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox

    I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari.  I don't have this problem with firefox.

    do they save ok if Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow all other plug-ins is unchecked ?
    If so, likely an adobe or other pdf plugin
    Re-check the setting above & quit any browsers,
    Look in this folder by triple-clicking the line below, then ctrl-clicking it & choosing Services - Open
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    remove anything with pdf in the filename & test again
    Sometimes, plug-ins can be in the User Library folder :
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/

  • Cannot delete .PDF files from a shared folder.

    Hello,
    I am having issues with deleting/renaming PDF files!
    Permissions is not an issue as even logged in as the Network Administrator of the Domain, I still can't delete the file.
    The error message I'm recieving is:  cannot delete xxxx.pdf It is being used by another person or program.  Close any programs that might be using this file and try again.
    There are only 1 or 2 users that would have access to the files and neither of them are using them.  I can also reset the security permissions for the file and take ownership, but even after doing these things it doesn't make a difference?
    I've tried various unlocking tools (Unlocker) and none of them report that the file is open or that there are any locks on them.  This only happens with PDF files. If I reboot the sever the problem will go away, but this server needs to be 99.999% of the
    time!
    Help please!

    Hi,
    Windows is somehow accessing Thumbs.db during the time of the folder move/delete attempt.  Please go into Folder options > View > Always show icons, never thumbnails to check if you can delete .PDF files.

  • Problems opening pdf-files from KM of portal

    Hi,
    we store documents in our portal in KM. When I use pdf-files that where not saved with Office2007 tools I get the problem, that I can open the file once. If I open it the second time I get the error message "file doesn't start with "%PDF-". and the file will not be opend. If I delete the temporary files in the internet explorer, the file can be opended, again.
    If I open the file directly in the internet explorer I don't have those problems, so it seems, that the portal uses a different viewer than the internet explorer itself. 
    Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
    Regards
    Ulrike

    Ulrike,
    I think this is a known issue.
    Affected versions:
    o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 14
    o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 15
    If you have the above KMC and SP Versions then you need to follow the below SAP note:
    Note 1146711 - Problem opening PDF files.
    Have you checked the belowSAP Note?
    Note 954627 - Issues with opening/displaying PDF files from KM

  • I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

    I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way.  I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

    Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers).  If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged.  This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
    You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

  • Data visibility problem in PDF file generated from R/3 system

    Hi all,
    We are converting the output of a Smartform into a PDF format. From this smart from, we receive data in OTF format, after which the required data is converted from OTF format to PDF format. Then PDF data is sent through mail using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 as an attachment. 
    For the above mentioned Smartform, we have defined Paragraph & Character font type as 'TIMES' in smart style. But when we receive the PDF file (through mail), some data of appears in other fonts:
    1) When PDF file is generated from Development system, the different font types which are used by PDF are Arial and Times-Roman. In this case, we are able to see the PDF output and faced no major problems because both of these fonts are supported by PDF file format.
    2) When PDF file is generated from Testing system, the font types which is used by PDF is Arial. In this case, we are able to see the PDF output because this font is supported by PDF file format.
    3) When PDF file is generated from Production system, the different font types which are used by PDF are Arial, Times-Roman and PBRS. Here, we are able to see the data which is displayed in Arial font and Times-Roman font. But we are not able to see the data which is displayed in PBRS font because this type of font is not supported by PDF file format. If we copy the distorted text from PDF file and paste it in MS-Word then the required data is clearly visible and that is due to the reason that MS-Word supports PBRS font.
    But as per smart style we have used only 'TIMES' font, then why different fonts are appearing in PDF file?
    What settings are required to be done to make this data visible?
    Any pointer to solve this issue will be really appreciable. Thanks in advance for your help.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • How to delete .pdf file after viewing in SAP

    Hi,
    I've a program to show a pdf file within a SAP window using the open document method form the class cl_gui_pdfviewer. Now I want to delete the pdf file once I choose the back button or exit the program. How can I do that.
    In the PAI for the screen showing the pdf file, I have a case statement to perform the following
      When 'EXIT'
         call method my_pdf_viewer->close_document.
            .....    <--- some coding to try deleting the pdf file
         leave program.
    endcase.
    It seems that the pdf file is still in use by the program and cannot be deleted before leaving the program. Please help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Francis

    Hi All,
    I have had this issue and have finally resolved it.  Here's how:
    you need to destroy your custom container and html viewer control AND flush the front end cache.  This releases the lock on the file and lets you then delete it.
    Here's an example code:
    When 'EXIT'
    call method my_pdf_viewer->close_document.
      CALL METHOD my_pdf_viewer->FREE
        EXCEPTIONS
          CNTL_ERROR        = 1
          CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 2
          others            = 3
      IF SY-SUBRC is initial.
        free my_pdf_viewer.
      ENDIF.
    this is the custom control parent container that contains the html control
      CALL METHOD MY_CONTAINER->FREE
         EXCEPTIONS
           CNTL_ERROR        = 1
           CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 2
           others            = 3
      IF SY-SUBRC is initial.
        free my_container.
      ENDIF.
      CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>dispatch.
      CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>flush
            EXCEPTIONS CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 1
            CNTL_ERROR = 2.
    ... <---- Delete PDF file (Delete Dataset xxxxxx.pdf)
    leave program.
    endcase.
    The other issue brought up is probably a permission issue -- trying to read the file from the presentation server versus a mapped drive that the SAP backend can access.  I read pdf files from a shared drive that the SAP backend can read/write to and it picks it up and displays just fine.
    Cheers,
    Matt

  • How to delete pdf files in iBooks on mac?

    Accidently, I added hundreds of pdf files from my dropbox into iBooks.
    I manually tried to delete pdf files, and I found that some of them were deleted, but the rest of them haven't been deleted.
    I tried and tried, but failed.
    I couldn't even open the pdf files at all.
    I accessed the "library folder >>> ..... >>> ibooks" and deleted all the files their, but still the "ghost" pdf files are shown in iBooks.
    Any idea?
    Thanks!!

    I've not long worked out how to do basic things on my iMac but have had some coaching on other forums, as it goes this happened to me this morning.
    Inadvertently, I managed to get all pdfs into ibooks and faced similar "delete" problem, couldn't drag the files out of ibooks either: Accidentally I found all ibooks info in a library through finder, took a while but right clicking "move to trash"  got rid of them but not from pages/documents!
    Re-opening ibooks initially showed the pdfs still in place, except after double clicking one a message appeared telling me the file could not be opened, then immediately the remaining books were shuffled and pdfs disappeared - still in documents though, and able to open.
    Hope this helps, there may well be an easier way...

  • Deleting PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Standard XI

    I can't delete PDF files I created myself. I get the error message I don't have access to edit, see snapshot above. I am the administrator of my own laptop. Browsing this forum helps me to locate the same query as mine but no exact answers/steps of how to bloody delete the damn files. *sorry, bit annoyed of the run-around links & not found pages* Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    I want to just delete closed PDF files. And I know how to delete using Del button or Right Click > Delete. The problem is I get error message saying the file I want to delete, can't be deleted.
    I tried a number of combinations with Preview enabled & disabled, but still won't let me delete the files. I haven't tried exiting/closing Acrobat AFTER disabling Preview THEN deleting the PDF files, will try this. But if this is how I'm supposed to delete files in Adobe XI from now on, come on, seriously?! I work with a lot of PDF files. I shouldn't have to close down the application (Acrobat) just to delete the closed PDF files using my File Explorer view. It's like having to exit Word each time I want to delete closed .docx files.
    Will try & advise.

  • Why can I not print out a pdf-file (train ticket NS) when downloaded with Firefox? (file says (SECURED)

    When ordering and paying a train ticket by internet they send a pdf-file, which one must download and print. When downloading this with Firefox (from my e-mail account) the pdf-file says (SECURED) and I cannot print out the ticket (pdf-file). (Adobe program stops automatically).
    When downloading this same pdf-file in Safari, I encounter no problems.

    Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader application or set to "Always Ask" in "Firefox > Preferences > Applications".

    Hi chrismarks1,
    I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.
    Best,
    Sara
