Problem with preview PDF files on Windows 7 32bit

Hello,
in my office I have a problem with preview PDF files on my computers. The files are allright, but if I select a file and click on preview mode after ~ 10sec operation system write something "Preview this file is corrupt for PDF Preview Handler wrong". On other 64bit computers with same programs the preview is work. I try uninstall all Adobe soft (Reader, Flash), clean all Adobe data from folders in root and in register, but it is not solve this problem. On Microsoft forums wrote me, that the problem is probably with AR plugin.
So, can someone help me?
Config PC:
Windows 7 32/64bit Pro
Intel i3, 4GB
Adobe Reader 11.0.5
Adobe Flash Player 15 ActiveX
Adobe Flash Player 15 plugin
Preview Handler Surrogate Host ver.: 6.1.7601.17514
Thank you for help.

I think I figured it out after reading other forums. Thanks!

Previewing pdf files in Windows 8

I have a new Samsung Ulimate laptop with Windows 8- Nice machine but not fit for purpose as I cannot preview pdf files in Windows Explorer- every file just has the pdf icon with no preview and only the filename to differentiate them. Is this a known problem. Is there a reliable fix?

Not for 64 bit systems, it doesn't seem it was ever expected to work.

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.

Printing problem with some pdf files

This problem is with Windows 7 and XP.
When trying to print I receive the following error:
"The Document could not be printed.
There were no pages selected to print."
I tried the print image button and same error.
This is Adobe Reader 10
I have also tried saving to different files and still same problem.
Thanks

Hi!
I've tested the issue again with Adobe Reader 10.1.4 on MS Windows XP Pro. SP3, MS Windows 7 Pro. SP1 32-bit and 64-bit with the following drivers:
- HP Universal Printing PS package ver. 5.5.0.12834 (driver ver. 61.130.04.12834) for printing to HP LaserJet 4100 DTN (224 MiB of RAM) and HP Color LaserJet 4700dn (288 MiB of RAM)
- Samsung Universal Print Driver PS ver. 2.03.09.00_41 for printing to Samsung ML-3051DN printer with 64 MiB of RAM
Printing of the sample 6-page PDF file (https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=ojv64pOBncq6XxtSiRqSkw) is still slow because the document stays long in the Windows print queue. Here are the test results:
- printing with the HP UPD PS driver - 120 sec.
- printing with the Samsung UPD PS driver - 220 sec.
When the same PDF file is printed in FoxitReader 5.4.4 the document stays in the print queue for only 15 sec.
Enabling the Print As Image option in the Reader's Advanced Print Setup can help to some degree (it gives better kB/sec. ratio but it increases the size of the print job).
I'd really appreciate it if developers at Adobe improved the Reader in order to solve the issue with the PS drivers.

Problems with Adobe pdf files as attachments in Mail

I have 4 Adobe pdf files that I can open and view without a problem.
The minute I try to attach them to an email to send to someone else, they show in the email as blank pages with the message that in order to be viewed, a more recent version of Adobe needs to be downloaded. It doesn't make sense - if my Adobe is up to date enough to open them normally, why can't Mail open them as attachments?
Flummoxed!

I have sent you an email reply with the following text:
I would not say things are exactly OK, but here is what I found out:
The two documents were produced by the program described at the link below:
http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/designer/
The forms, which would open in Adobe Reader 9, are filled out -- typically forms that you file out on such agency sites are only printable, and cannot be Saved in a filled out form -- yours are filled out with data -- data that could be sensitive. I will delete them very quickly, as soon as we have concluded any discussions.
Neither file could be opened with Adobe Photoshop CS3, except to show the same error message, which is pretty unusual, nor could they be opened with Graphic Converter any differently, which is equally unusual.
The file header, when observed in Raw Source, says the application that produced it is unknown -- a good reason Mail nor Preview could open. I am pasting in one of the file headers from Raw Source view:
--------------090301040801050804080205
Content-Type: application/x-unknown;
name="09.02.06 FKR IT34 Assessment 2008.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline;
filename="09.02.06 FKR IT34 Assessment 2008.pdf"
All-in-all I would say these are very unusual files.

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();
               byte buff[] = new byte[1024];
               while (true) {
               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();

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.

Have a problem with display PDF Files!!!!

When I open a PDF file that takes up to 20 minutes and leaves taken in open AcroRd32.exe process which can not close until you open the requested file, anyone know why this happens?
** system Windows XP Pro, Service Pack3, PentiumD 3Ghz, 2GB Ram, 40Gb Disk Free, Acrobat Reader 9.1.0.

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.

Problem with printing pdf file created from Illustrator

Hello,
In a drawing I created with Illustrator 10.0.3 I covered part of a circle with a white rectangle (to make it disappear). I saved it as pdf. When printing the pdf (under Linux with a HP printer), the covered part reappeared. However the pdf-file is how it should be. Anybody knows what the problem is?

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.

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?

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
pdf is not loading. Does anyone know if this is a problem with the
new version of Internet Explorer? Any work arounds?
Here's my code:
on (release) {
getURL("NameofDoc.pdf", "_blank");
}

Hi,
1. It's Adobe Reader XI, ver 11.0.08
I guess the version of the plug-in corresponds with the version of the reader itself?
2. "Page cannot be displayed", mostly
Some say it takes a while for the (small) pdf to open, but we could no recreate this behavior yet.

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

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.
