Problem with open PDF files

update I did, as you've mentioned, and now it works - let's say in 95% When I receive an e-mail with PDF, I hit "save", and right away I cannot open the file. However, when I will go back to e-mails list, and wiev once again the same e-mail, I can see the PDF directly from the level of mail. Bit strange, however big improvement comparing to the former situation. Perhaps there is some kind of bug in stock e-mail app?

Hi, I have following problem with my Xperia Z3:- when I receive the e-mail with PDF as attachement, I can just save it, but cannot open it. It says: "you have no application installed, please install one.."- when I save the file, and open it from File Manager, I can easily open it with Acrobat, Foxit or any other. There's no problem- when I try to do the same directly from "Downloaded" apps, again I cannot open it As I receive some part of e-mails with PDF's, the best way would be to open them directly after saving from e-mail client. Saving them, and then going to File Manager to open makes it more complicated. Do you know, what can be the problem here? It concern stock e-mail client, Android 5.0 Hope you may know some solution

Problem with opening PDF files in Google Chrome browser

We have a web page displaying links to dynamically generated PDF files located on the internal repository. This files are not just text PDF files but PDF forms created using XFA technology. This means that they must be opened and filled only in Adobe Reader and not in Foxit Reader or browser's built-in PDF viewer.
Now, the problem is that a Google Chrome browser opens any PDF file using its own PDF viewer. And I want to force this browser to open PDF files in Adobe Reader.
How can I achieve this without disabling 'Chrome PDF Viewer' plugin since I can't do this for all users of our web site?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. We use LiveCycle ES3.

Each user would have to set each browser individually.
Note: I don't think it's possible to set the default PDF viewer with code for every user who visits the site.
See the following link to enable Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer in different browsers:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
Note: Not all PDF viewer browser plug-ins support PDF submissions, and most 3rd party viewers may not support forms created with LiveCycle or forms with Extended Reader Rights enabled.

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.

try {
               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");
               response.setHeader("Expires","0");
               response.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
               response.setHeader("Pragma","public");
               response.setContentLength(iLength);
               ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
               InputStream in = null;
               in = file.getBinaryStream();

               int i = in.read(buff);
               if (i<0) break;
               os.write(buff,0,i);
               os.flush();
               os.close();
     } catch(Exception ex){
          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();

Adobe Reader 10 problem with opening pdf files

Ever since I downloaded and installed Adobe Reader 10, I have been unable to open .pdf files from the Internet. When
I try to download them, I only the get the option of saving the file, not opening it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

We had similar problems with both the upgrade to 9.4.2 and 10.0.1. We would either get the download/save screen or a black screen would appear and eventually error out and freeze up the machine when we tried to hit pages that loaded pdfs stored in Oracle. We found the pdfs would load when using Chrome or Firefox.
We're running winXP SP3 and mainly have users using IE 7 and IE 8. We were eventually able to solve the problem by doing the following:
Implementing the code fix outlined in this thread (Response.charset = null;) in the page that pulled pdfs from Oracle: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3476821
Uninstalling and reinstalling the base version of Reader (9.4.0 or X.0) from users' machines that had gone through the update from 9.x to X.x
Rebooting the machine after each uninstall or install
Updating the Reader to either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1
Now we have users who can successfully load the pdfs from Oracle who are running either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1.
Hope this helps!

I have a problem with opening PDF files downloaded from anywhere!

I can view them ok in Safari, but when I save and download them, they are displayed with the Preview image and will not open.
When I click them, a message says that 'the file may be damaged or not recognised by Preview'.
I have cleaned up my computer (apple help ) but still, the problem remains. I downloaded the same file to my MacBook pro, and it saved it in the usual PDF format, (completely different image from above), and opened perfectly well.
I have checked the settings in Preview and they seem to be set correctly so that Preview will open PDF files.
What next?
I am desperate!
Jennifer

See if you can delete any Adobe PDF plugins from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/. Then quit and re-open your web browser and try again.

Problem with opening pdf files in Explorer

I'm trying to use a button to open a pdf file. It's always
worked in the past, but now I'm receiving an "object error" and the

Does anyone have a problem with opening PDF files in iBook after updating the program recently

I need to try to open the pdf file a few times before it goes in iBook.
It is making me look like a fool cos I use iBook for my presentation to my clients

I'm presumably having a similar problem with pdf's in ibook. It seemed to work fine until about two updates ago. We're using ipad II's with ibook (latest version as of today) for our board of director's reports. These are sometimes several hundred pages and password protected pdf's. Now the more whiney members of the board are *******' at me, so I need to find a solution relatively quickly. Is there a way to back off the updates?
What it does.
When a PDF is chosen to open from the library, ibook open a "blank" file -- showing only the ibook background.
One can try closing and re-opening the PDF and after three or four times it'll open -- seems to be random.
These PDFs are created in Adobe Acrobat 9.

HT5568 problems with opening PDF files on safari

in Safari i am not able to view pdf pages when i open link through wed pages, i have to first save it to my desktop and then open to see the pdf files. I have another macbook where i do not have this problem. any solution to this would be great help

If you want to open a PDF file within Safari, you have two choices. You need to place either item 1 or items 2 in your /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder.
Apple Quartz Composer.webplugin
Adobe Acrobat Reader 11 PDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViwerNPAPI.plugin
Your actions are, again either item 1 or item 2:
Get a copy of the Apple Quartz Composer webplugin from someone else with the same exact OS X version as you (or reinstall OS X).
Place in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Permission: 755 root:wheel
Download and install the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader 11 version for OS XThe installation will place the above Adobe PDF plugins in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
If the Apple and Adobe plug-ins co-reside, the Adobe PDF plug-in will overide the Apple Quartz Composer plugin.
The Adobe PDF viewer has more functionality and is compatible with the latest Safari 6 releases.

Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

Hi Everyone,
I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
Many Thanks,
John

There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.

Problems with some PDF files

Hi,
I have problems with some PDF files. After clicking on link to the file Safari shows me insted of normal document (which is working on Windows) hashes, numbers etc like it was a problem with coding or something. First I was using Preview, I though that maybe installing Acrobat Reader with plugins will solve the problem, but ofcourse it didn't. Did somebody has this same problem?

Back up all data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete -app Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Quit Safari. Launch the built-in 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 by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

Issue with opening .PDF files after recalling from Symantec Enterprise Vault

Good Morning,
I am having issues with opening PDF files that have been recalled from Symantec Enterprise Vault and some of the files are anywhere from 3-4 years old. Some files open, while others return the error: Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf because it is not a supported file type or might have been damaged. It is inconsistent as to which files it occurs with. I am not ready to believe that I have that many corrupt files out there. I am opening them on a Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 desktop. Adobe 10.1.7. I have already configured the registry setting for bValidateBytesBeforeHeader that I found in another article to no avail.
The files are on a network share, but I also tried copying them to my local desktop and still received the error.
I have seen other posts regarding this error, but do not see a definitive solution and am hoping that in recent days someone has come up with a solution.
Thank You
Brian Dougherty

Not supported file type can (but not always) mean the PDF was created with an old enough version of Acrobat, that it isn't comaptible with reader X or XI.
Might have been damaged is pretty cut and dried in its meaning and interpretation.
There's a known issue with Mac OS and Safari Browser "breaking" PDFs as they download, but it's not so common for Windows. Since these are files you already had, it would be even less applicable.
You can try downloading an older version of Reader to check if it's a compatibility issue, but you'd have to uninstall the latest to do it and it'd be a lot of bother if they still don't open. It would also mean they are "broken" and cannot be repaired, that I know of.

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.
