Problem with editable pdf's from mac to pc

I created an editable pdf document with Adobe Acrobat Pro.  Users on a mac typed in the document and saved it and that all worked fine.  Then they tried to open on a pc and the document was blank.  Has anyone experienced this or have a suggestion?

It sounds like they used Apple's Preview to fill in the forms.  If that's the case, what you're seeing is expected behavior.  Preview doesn't handle form data properly.
I would suggest you ask your users to install Adobe Reader XI to ensure that form data is preserved when saving the PDF: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

  • Problem with saving pdf files to Mac

    Hi All
    I'm having a problem with pdf files.  When I get sent a pdf fielder email I can open it with no problems but I cannot seem to save it successfully to my Mac. I've tried opening file and doing a 'save as', copy and pasting and dragging and dropping but I keep getting the following message
    Adobe Reader could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    Any ideas how I sort this out?

    Can you use your email client's Save Attachments feature to save the file?

  • Troubleshooting problems with printing PDF's from Revit and Cad files

    I am unable to print a readable pdf from AutoCad and Revit.  Any Suggestions?  I do not have problems with Microsoft or Adobe products..Just AutoCad.  I have already spoken with my AutoCad dealer and they concluded it was an Adobe issue.

    How was the PDF file created? With the Adobe plug-in to AutoCAD?
    If you can provide some samples, we could look at the files and determine the problem. And FWIW, I doubt that your AutoCAD dealer has the competence to conclude where the problem is with a PDF file.

  • Problems with editable PDFs

    I have created an editable PDF that I want to send clients, have them fill information in, then save and email back to me.
    This works on my machine but when I send it out, people cannot save it. They can only save a blank version.
    I have extended the features already. Could the problem be something to do with versions? Do they need to download a newer version of Reader?
    Any help much appreciated! Thanks

    By extended reader rights do you mean Save As > Reader Exteded PDF > Enable Additional Features YES I did this Here is a link to some PDFs with this problem http://www.wkrause.com/new/

  • Problem with opening PDF files from JSF page using SDO

    Hi all,
    I'm new with JSF and was attempting to read a PDF file from a Database using SDO and JSF. The code below throws an exception when casting from DataObject to Blob. The getLcDoc() method was created by WSAD when I dragged an SDO relational record onto the JSF page. This method returns an DataObject type which I tried casting to a Blob type before using it further. However, an exception is thrown.
    Any feedback is appreciated.

                   FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
                   HttpServletResponse response =(HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
                   Blob file= (Blob)getLcDoc().get("ATTACH");
                   int iLength = (int)(file.length());
                   response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/pdf");
                   response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=Attachment");

              System.out.println("Error while reading file : " + ex.getMessage());

    Hi...I found out that there is actually no need to use a Blob object at all. You can simply call the OutputStreams write() method and pass the DataObject.getBytes() method that returns a byte[] array. The revised code is shown at the end of this posting.
    However, a few other teething problems exist:
    1. This works well only if I specify the content type in response.setHeader() method. What if my users upload different types of files, is there a way that the browser opens according to the file type without setting the content type?
    2. I still have a problem opening PDF files, even if I specify - response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/pdf");
    I get the message - The file is damaged and could not be repaired
    3. I would also like this to open the attachment in a new window and using target="_blank" doesn't seem to work as seen below:
    <h:commandLink
                                                 styleClass="commandLink" id="link1" action="#{pc_DocumentDetailsRead.doLink1Action}" target="_blank">
                                                 <h:outputText id="text5" styleClass="outputText"
                                                      value="Click Here"></h:outputText>
                                            </h:commandLink>
    ------------------------Revised code-----------------------------------------
    FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
                   HttpServletResponse response =(HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
                   response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/msword");
                   response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=Attachment");
                   response.setHeader("Expires","0");
                   response.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
                   response.setHeader("Pragma","public");
                   ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
                   os.write(getLcDoc().getBytes("ATTACH"));
                   os.flush();
                   os.close();

  • Problems with iTunes library copied from Mac

    I copied my iTunes from my Mac, and authorized the Windows 7 iTunes to be one of my legal computer.   Some songs wouldn't copy because Windows could not handle the file name or path, but most did.
    But iTunes can't find the songs.    When I double click the the songs within iTunes\iTunesMedia\Music, they play, and my iTunes shows one broken link and the new link, which apparently is in the right place.
    How do I change things so that iTunes is looking the right place?   

    I was having the same problem and I knew there had to be an easy answer. I knew it for sure when I saw your topic unanswered. Just right click, or control click on the bar where it says name, album, genre, etc. and select "track number," this will give you the option to put them in their original order.
    You can also access this under "view options" in the view pull down menu.

  • Problems with transfer of movies from Mac to external drive.

    I want to transfer movies from my iTunes library to an external drive, in order to back them up for future use. I keep getting the message:
    "The operation can’t be completed because the item “Cabaret.m4v” is in use."
    How do I solve this problem?
    Kerneels

    Have you restarted your computer?
    By the way, "transferring" is not the same as "backing up".  Backing up means more than one copy on separate drives.

  • Cisco ASA 5505 - problem with negotiating IP address from PPPoE

    Hi all,
    I have problem with negotiating IP address from PPPoE. There is following design: ISP providing vDSL ending on VDSL modem in bridge mode. Behind brigde modem is ASA 5505 terminting PPPoE on OUTSIDE. Everything works fine except  negotiating IP address from PPPoE server.
    I have configured ASA 5505 with (ASA Version 9.2(2)4) for PPPoE like this [1.]. But If i try to "show" IP address on OUTSIDE interface a get this [2.], ok strange but let's continue. If list "show vpdn pppinterface id 1"  i get this [3.]. Seems that I got public IP addres what was right, but this IP address was not associated with interface OUTSIDE?
    Well, if I set IP address manually like this [4.] and also set a default route everything works fine but what will happen when ISP change reservation for my IP address or default gateway. 
    I have tried different version of ASA OS like 8.4, 9.1 but without luck. 
    Can anybody help me. Thanks a lot.

  • Problem with preview PDF files on Windows 7 32bit

  • Problem with Edit IN function between LR 2.3 and PS CS3

    I recently upgraded my system to a Windows Vista 64 bit Core 2 Quad with 8 GB.  Lightroom now works and loads images the way it should. I do have one major concern and need any help possible.
    I am using LR 2.3 in 64 bit and PS CS3 ver 10.0.1 (which is 32 bit - loads slowly but otherwise works fine).  The problem I am encountering is in LR Develop / Photo / Edit In...  - using any of the menu items:
    "Edit in Abode Photoshop CS3"
    "Open as Smart Object In Photoshop"
    "Merge to Panorama in Photoshop"
    "Merge to HDR in Photoshop"
    "Open as layers in Photoshop"
    Photoshop opens but no image(s) are exported and I receive the message in LR - "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS3 could not be launched."
    Photoshop, however, was launched but no image exported and so I can't work on the image in PS.  The appropriate TIFF image is created in LR for the first two menu items - nothing for the last three menu items.
    I can create a partial work around by setting PS as an external editor, however, I can't use 4 of 5 of the menu items.
    All the menu items work fine in Windows XPpro.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    PS I also tried the most recent Window 7 RC with exactly the same results.
    Thanks

    I wasn't shouting - I just cut and paste the exact text and font in its original size and type as was shown in the message.  Never had a thought that someone would be offended by cutting and pasting exactly what was in a message - it would appear that John Williams saw it for what it was.
    However, sorry if I offended you.

  • Pdf's from mac to playbook, reader won't open?

    I saved pdf files from mac to documents folder on playbook , I launch acrobat reader, I see pdf files but when i try to open, an error message appears that says "file path not valid".  Can anyone shed some light on this?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    go into the option ( the gear at the top right ), then in security/applications and change the Adobe reader permission to ALLOWED, and it should fix your problem

    Hello,having a problem with Logic 9 on a Mac Pro.Working on a lenghty song and apparently session got corrupted.Doesnt let me export tracks,program crashes.Already tried start brand new session with the tracks imported into it but still wont export.Suggestions?

    Thanks, Ian. Yeah, that's how I do it now...or with the controls in the left side pane. Still, I would have liked that quick on-the-spot edit capability...especially while sketching.
    Ian Turner wrote:
    Sorry Mark, you are out of luck as it does not do that - it works the same as L8. The way I would achieve that with more accuracy and control would be to route all the tracks you want to fade to a Bus then use volume automation on the bus. To do this you will need to add a standard audio track, then re-assign it using (Control Click on the track header) to the Bus track. You can then automate volume/plugins etc on the Bus track.

  • Hi Guys, I have a problem with Importing Pictures onto my Mac mini with Lion installed by using a Card Reader, What is the problem here so I can get Pictures onto my Computer. ,

    Hi Guys,
    I have a problem with Importing Pictures onto my Mac mini with Lion installed by using a Card Reader,
    What is the problem here so I can get Pictures onto my Computer. ,

    Hi Noob Søren
    There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
    As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
    You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
    I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
    You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
    If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
    Hope this helps

  • Is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop.  Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

    is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop.  Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

    I had been having a similar problem on Lion with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
    I would constantly get the same messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
    Then I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons.
    This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
    Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
    I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.
