Problem with opening of PDF file, generated through smartform

Recently, I have developed a new program where, the output of smartform will generate a PDF file, and then that PDF file will be mailed to concern persons,
I have sucessuly done this in development server, and further testing I have transported this to Quality, in Quality i am able to generated a pdf file and able to send it to mail box of concern person, but when concern person tries to open the PDF file, it gives the error stating 'There was an error in opening the document, The file is damaged and could not be repaired'
But same, I can able to read from development server.
When I asked the Basis person, they are not aware about it, and , I have make it sure that, I have transported all request to Quality and nothing is pending in development.
Can you please give me some idea to sort out this issue.
Thanks in advance

Problem with opening of PDF in my webmail application

I have a problem with opening a pdf file in my webmail application of my internet provider in apple safari since yesterday. When I wanted to open up a pdf file I got a pop up message to allow a connection between adobe and the webmail application which I did. Since then I can not open up a pdf file. If I go to another browser or if I use email from another internet provider I use too it works and I can open up. It seems to be a blockage of the specific combination of this webmail application and safari.
What can I do ?

Problem with saving a pdf file to computer. Continually get an error message " This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21).

Need advice on a saving file issue. I'm having problem with saving a .pdf file to computer. Continually get an error message " This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21). This is new as this error message just recently started to pop-up.

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

Issue with Opening a PDF file

We have just completed an upgrade of one of our servers executing Reporting Services.   The upgrade was from 2005 to 2008.
After we have rendered a report and have it saved in PDF format, we start having issues.
If we try to open the PDF by double clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer, Adobe Reader starts, but sits unresponsive and consumes an excessive amount of CPU cycles.    It never completes the open and we have to kill the Adobe Reader process in Task Manager.
If we start Adobe Reader, and then use the Menu to do FIle -> Open, the PDF file opens immediately.
We have attempted both methods using several different versions of Adobe Reader.    The issue occurs on all versions prior to 9.3.
Since we are a service organization, we are unable to force our clients to upgrade to a more current version of Adobe Reader without providing assurances that this will correct this issue.
Has anyone else seen this type of issue with opening PDF files rendered by Reporting Services?   And if so, what is the cause and how did you correct it?
Thanks
Steve

Hi there,
Please find attached a word document which contains the error that comes up when I try to open the PDF file. This PDF was e-mailed to me from one of the Safety companies that I receive e-mails from on a regular basis. I believe I am running Windows XP and the version of Adobe is Adobe Reader X. I hope this is enough info for you.

Problem with opening a indd file in CC 2014.

When I'm trying to open a 5.5 .indd-file in CC 2014 on my Windows computer, I get this error message: 'Either the file does not exist or you do not have permission to open it or the file is used by another program'. However my collague has no problem with opening the document on his Mac computer. I guess it has something to do with a kind of setting in my CC 2014. Can anyone help me?

Nothing to do with ID. It really means what it says - your file permissions are hosed and it being an ID file this could include things like fonts or placed images referenced within it.

Problems with reading a pdf-file using Safari/Adobe Acrobat Pro

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. and Safari in Snow Leopard I open the pdf-file of http://dare.uva.nl/document/505726 and small boxes appear in the text f.i. on page 70, 74, on the last page etc.
I don't know why those small boxes appear only on my MacBook Pro with the installed software and others don't read a corrupt text. If I click in den pdf-file on the right side of the mouse and choose "open with Adobe Acrobat Pro" the pdf-file opens correctly (without small boxes)!

As you discovered, Adobe Acrobat/Pro/Reader v.9 will crash for all managed user accounts that store their home folders on the server because it has "difficulty" reading and writing to a folder across a network, which is why it crashes shortly after it launches.
HOWEVER, there is hope. All you need to do is tell Adobe to write all of its files to the local drive rather than the home folder on the sharepoint, as follows:
While logged into your network-user account:
1. Go to the "Shared" folder on the local drive. (Local HD > Users > Shared)
2. Create a new folder named "9.0_x86" if you have an Intel or "9.0_ppc" if you have a PPC (without the quotes for either case). You will have to authenticate as an Administrator.
3. Go to the Acrobat folder within the user's Application Support and delete the folder in it.
(Home > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Acrobat > 9.0_x86 or 9.0_ppc)
4. Open/launch the Terminal application found within the Utilities folder on you Mac.
(Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app)
5. In Terminal, enter the 1st command for Intel or the 2nd for PPC:
ln -s /Users/Shared/9.0_x86 ~/Library/Application \Support/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0_x86
OR
ln -s /Users/Shared/9.0_ppc ~/Library/Application \Support/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0_ppc
Adobe Acrobat 9 should now work properly. You may get the "quit unexpectedly" error message the first time you quit the application, but should only happen the one time.
On a side note, the print spool is slow when printing very large multi-paged PDFs.
This is a fix I found in 2009 by Dennis, can't remember where though.

PDF file generated through PDFWriter does not open

i generate a pdf file using itext "itext-1.4.6.jar". this file opens in Acrobat reader 5,6,7. But i can not open it in Acrobat Reader 8.
Plz tell me if there is some special reason associated with itext or Acrobat Reader.

1) This is not an iText support board.
2) What's the error message?

Problem with opening the .fmx file through hyperlink

I am trying to open a .fmx file through hyperlink. After clicking on the hyperlink a dilogue box opens up and asks for "open from the remote server", "save on the local disk" and cancel. If I click on open the .fmx file opens up and applications starts working.
Problem is "I do not want this dialogue box to be opened after clicking on the hyperlink". I tried to change the mime type and changed the setting of Internet explorer. But it does not work.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
thanx in advance

whever i refresh the entire application in the tomact then its been recognizedMaybe you're creating and downloading it asynchronously so that the creation of the file isn't finished yet while you're about to download it.

Problem with opening various text files in notepad through java

Hi friends,
I need to open any .txt file in notepad by running the code in Java.I could open the notepad through java but not a perticular file.I dont even want to hard code my program that only one perticular file will open through it.I want it generalised...if anyone could help me,it would be really nice...
thanks
Vishal.

If your program opens notepad I'll delete it because I set UltraEdit as my default editor. So if you already must use system-specific code, how about grabbing a Windows manual to find out how to use the editor registered for these files? (Hint "start").

Problem with opening MS Excel files through Portal

Hi All,
I have a user that is complaining about the behaviour of MS Excel files in the Portal. The MS Excel files do not match their behaviour at the windows level. The issue has to do with how MS Excel files never seem to open in a maximized sate when you open them from the portal. The same cannot be said about MS Word files. The behaviour of MS word files is consistent between windows and portal.
Solutions will be REWARDED.
Thanks & Regards,
Krishnen Subramanian.

Hi Hussain,
I hav uploaded the excel file into my KM contentafter that when i try to open it , it does not open as maximized.
Let me explain:
I create a new excel file on my desktop:
I open this file:
I maximize the workbook and save:
I close Excel and then open the file right back up:
I notice that Excel and the workbook open up maximized. I close Excel again.
I now upload the file to the portal:
I then open the file from here:
It is noticed that the Excel is not maximized. We would like for it to behave as it does from the desktop. In other words, if it is saved as maximized, it should open from the portal that way. If it is saved as half way open, it should open that way from the portal.
I have found that MS Word documents behave in the portal as they do on the desktop. I create an MS Word file on my desktop:
There appears to be something portal related that prevents MS Excel files from opening maximized.
Hope you will be abl to solve the message.
Thanks & Regards,
Krishnen Subramanian.

OBIEE 11g having problems with password protected PDF files.

I have been able to get an analysis in OBIEE 11g to display PDF files.
However, some of these documents contain sensitive information and must be secured. Since anyone with access to the file name
could simply type in the proper path in the browser window, this is unacceptable. In order to try and prevent this, I created a pdf file
that is protected with a password.
Opening the file by itself, produces the desired results. The password is requested before the file will open.
When I open the file through my analysis in OBIEE, Adobe reader activates, but the password is not requested and the file does not open.
It is as if OBIEE is somehow not sensing that Adobee is asking for a password.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

FYI, in case anyone is interested, I found out what is going on.
I created the original password protected PDF using Microsoft Word. I did this because I do not have a full version of Adobe Acrobat that allows me to create files.
On a hunch, I found someone that has a full version of Acrobat, and had them create a password protected PDF file. This file worked perfectly.
Apparently, Word is not strictly adhering to PDF guidelines, and OBIEE senses the differences, resulting in the file not opening properly.
Something to keep in mind for anyone linking to password protected PDF files in OBIEE.

Problem with color in pdf files

My documents contain color logo.
Whenever converted into pdf file, I always see color logo in the pdf files.
Today, the logo came out to be in black and white.
I repeated many times even with Adobe PDF (printer driver).
But logo came out in B & W.
I am wondering how to fix this problem.
I currently use WinXP Pro SP2-Acrobat Pro 7.10.
NOte: Last week, v. 7.09 was updated to 7.10.
I wonder this update contains a bug which produces B&W image.

Please ignore this post.
I would like to ask the moderator to delete this post.
(note; I found that theproblem has nothing to do with pdf but with the original xls invoice douments).

Problem while opening a pdf file

Hi,
when i try to open a certain pdf file directly by clicking on the link, the reader hangs up.
when i start the reader and try to open the file directly after that, the reader hangs up.
But when i open the reader, let it run for a minute or two and open the file then, then it works fine.
Anyone got an idea what the problem is?

Problem with downloading a PDF file from a webserver run on Linux

Hi,
I've written a simple functionality that manages file attachments.
Everything works fine (attaching, downloading, deleting) when the webserver runs on Windows.
However when I deployed the code to the Resin webserver run on Linux and use the Win browser to connect to the app, the downloading of PDF file doesn't work (uploading and downloading of txt, doc, xls, jpg files is OK).
The downloaded PDF file is almost twice as big as original (~28KB when original is ~12KB) and it can't be open.
I guess it is the problem of writing to the output stream of HttpServletResponse but I can't localize the problem.
Here is the code I use for downloading file:
private boolean downloadFile(HttpServletResponse response, String filePath,
               String originalFilename) {
     File file = new File(filePath);
     String contentType = URLConnection
               .guessContentTypeFromName(originalFilename);
     // If the content type is unknown set the default value.
     if (contentType == null) {
          contentType = "application/octet-stream";
     BufferedInputStream input = null;
     BufferedOutputStream output = null;
     try {
          input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
          int contentLength = input.available();
          response.reset();
          response.setContentLength(contentLength);
          response.setContentType(contentType);
          response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment;
                       filename=\""+ originalFilename + "\"");
            output = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
          int bufSize = 10000;
          byte[] buf = new byte[bufSize];
          int bytesNo = 0;
          while ((bytesNo = input.read(buf, 0, bufSize)) != -1) {
               output.write(buf, 0, bytesNo);
          output.flush();
          input.close();
          output.close();
     } catch (IOException e) {
          log.debug(e.getMessage());
          e.printStackTrace();
}Can you point any problem?
Thanks in advance,
Ala

This piece is completely wrong and doesn't work for files bigger than 10000 bytes. Replace it by
byte[] buffer = new byte[10240]; // 10KB exactly.
int length = 0;
while ((length = input.read(buffer)) > 0) { // Read next 10KB of input to buffer.
    output.write(buffer, 0, length); // Write specified length of buffer to output.
}Or just use output.write(input.read()) in a loop of the contentLength as you're alredy using BufferedInputStream/BufferedOutputStream.
Another thing, the method is declared to return a boolean, but it actually doesn't? I would just let it throw an exception in case of failure instead of returning a boolean and let the calling method handle the exception.

Problem with indexing a PDF file

Hi all,
We can most of the time successfully index PDF files, but sometimes it simply fails to do so. Nothing wrong with the code, but it looks to me that some PDF files are not accepted. Is there some sort of a list from Oracle which tells me what version of PDF is accepted or how they should be made so that Oracle can index the content?

Hi,
Reproduced.
I indexed 5 pdf's downloaded from the internet and yours. Your one pdf is the only one not indexed. All are version 1.4 (right-click | properties | pdf) which is fully supported (see http://www.verity.com/cms/groups/public/documents/collateral/mk0459.pdf for a list of supported formats for the keyview filter, referred to as auto_filter in 10g).
The differences between the files are:
Works:
============
Application PScript5.dll Version 5.2
PDF Producer: Acrobat Distiller 5.0.5 (Windows)
Fast Web View: No
Doesn't
============
Application: Adobe InDesign CS2(4.0)
PDF Producer: Adobe PDF Library 7.0
Fast Web View: Yes
I checked to see that the pdf was not simply a scanned image and it wasn't. No errors in CTX_USER_INDEX_ERRORS and the pending record disappears post index sync. No records in the $I table.
A few possible things to check with support:
1) If custom fonts are used check with Oracle support on the filter's ability to extract using the custom font.
2) Are there any known issues with PDF docs generated using InDesign CS2 or with docs created for Fast Web View?
See bug 3814696 and reference it with your service request. The outcome is not published so I don't know how/if they resolved it. You may want to mention this with your TAR since the scenario is similar, and toss in the differences between the "works" and "doesn't" scenarios that I mention above.
Hope it helps,
-Ron
