Problems opening PDFs from SharePoint 2007 with Acrobat X Pro

We are currently migrating to Windows 7 x86, Acrobat X Pro, and Office Pro Plus 2010 SP1. Our old setup is Windows XP, Acrobat 8 Pro, and Office 2007. We are using SharePoint 2007. On our older machines, we are able to open and edit PDFs without any problems. However, on our newer machines with Acrobat X, we get this error whenever we open a PDF for editing:
The document could not be opened for editing. A Windows SharePoint Services compatible application could not be found to edit the document.
All of our XP users can open and edit documents without any problems--only our newly migrated Windows 7 users are unable to edit these documents. Is there a setting that I need to adjust in Acrobat X? I don't recall seeing any Acrobat X specific options in SharePoint configuration. Thanks!
EDIT: I was able to open and edit a PDF document using the following steps:
1. Click drop-down menu next to document and select "Check Out."
2. In the check-out dialog box, check "Use my local drafts folder." Click OK.
3. Back in SharePoint, click on document to open--click OK to message warning about malicious files.
4. Edit document, then click Save button. Close Acrobat.
5. Back in SharePoint, click drop-down menu next to document and select "Check In."
6. Confirm the check-in.
7. Redirected back to document library and the modified date and by fields are updated.
This seems like an awful amount of steps. Is there a way to make this function the same when a user edits a Word or Excel document?

Added info under EDIT.

In Acrobat X, SharePoint Integration has been added which allows users to check-out/check-in the document from within Acrobat. Clicking the file from document library in Internet Explorer opens the file in Acrobat. The configuration that needs to be done on the SharePoint server is explained in the following KB article in section 11.1.

Problems opening PDFs from SharePoint 2010 with Acrobat X Pro

Is anyone else having problems integrating pdf document support into Sharepoint 2010?
I now have the icon showing for any pdf documents saved in a Document Lirary, However I don't get the options of Checking out - editing an checking in. There is also no revision control. I think that when I open a pdf document, the servers own copy of Adobe Reader opens, and not my local copy of Reader or Acrobat X pro.
I've done what it says in the Administrators guide for Sharepoint integration and I'm still unable to get this functionality to work. As we use interactivve pdfs for a lot of our internal documentation the pdf integration features are very important.
Any help from users who have already been through the pain of sharepoint integration would be really appreciated.
Regards.

Hi Bill,
Looking at your initial problem of not being able to open the SharePoint hosted PDF document from the web browser.
Could you please verify that as per the "Enterprise Administration Guide", the DocIcon.xml file of your server contains the following line:
<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="AdobePDF.png" OpenControl="AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments"/>
Please verify that the OpenControl attribute is also mentioned correctly. Without this the Acrobat Active X component would not be invoked.
thanks,
Shivani

Office 2013 cannot open documents from SharePoint 2007 with IE 11.

Hei
One of my client cannot open word documents (office 2013) from SharePoint 2007 with IE11.
Are there any compatibility issues among Office 2013/SharePoint 2007/Internet Explorer 11?
Thanks in advance.

Problem opening documents from SharePoint (2013) libraries with Office 2010 and 2013 components installed

Hi
I've been encountering the problem of Office files failing to open from SharePoint 2013 libraries with the prefix of 'ms-excel:ofv|u|' etc. in the url. Following the
helpful questions and answers in the forum, I've identified the likely cause as the fact that my main Office installation is 2010, but I also have installed OneDrive for Business 2013 (which I need in order to sync document libraries with my local drive).
The solution I've seen suggested elsewhere of deactivating the SharePoint integration of Office 2013 components fails for two reasons: there is no way (or at least, I can't find one) of deactivating SharePoint integration probably because, deactivating
SharePoint integration would likely stop the syncing of libraries/folders.
One thing that I have noticed in my case that I've not seen mentioned elsewhere is that if I right-click a document and select 'open in new tab/window' the required
document opens directly in the relevant office package. I don't know if this is a useful observation, but it seems to be new information.
My question is, is there a way I can continue to sync libraries and open Office documents directly in Office 2010? My thoughts are possible changes to registry settings
(which I can do, but don't know enough to find the correct ones myself) or (re)installation of software in some appropriate order to leave the correct settings.
I have 'repaired' my Office 2010 installation without any observed affect on behavior.
Thanks
Ray
(I've just seen a suggestion that Office 2010 SP2 may fix this issue. I've requested to test this, but whilst this may fix my problem, rolling it out to
other users may be more problematic. In the meantime, other suggestions of solutions are welcome)

Hi,
According to your description, it is a good way to do a test about office 2010 SP2, here is an article about this issue- limitations of using the OneDrive for Business sync app with Office 2010 applications , it may help you.

Error message when trying to open PDF from Sharepoint

I get an error message they says "There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect." I am running IE9 and Adobe Reader 11, this also happens with IE10. I have made sure that everything is running correctly, but it isn't opening the document within IE like it is supposed too. Any ideas?

Hi Melissa ,
Could you please share the screen shot of the error message so that we can have an actual look at the error and would be able to assist you better.
Is this happening with all the PDF' you are trying to open from Sharepoint or some specific one'?

Problem opening files from Sharepoint using Firefox 4

Font issue when creating PDF from web page with Acrobat 8

I have a group of documents created with html/css that i am converting to pdf. Everything works slick except for some reason every HTML page that spans more than one printable page in the PDF the first page body text looks bold, the rest of the text (on the subsequent pages) is not. I have 15 documents linked together and its doing it for everyone one, first page looks bold rest of pages not.
I have checked all the font attributes in both the pdf and the html, there is nothing set to bold and all fonts have the exact same settings...
Does anyone know what is going on? I am pretty green with Acrobat but not new to web tech.
What am I missing here?
Also when printed it looks fine, no issues, issues only in screen view...
HELP!!
Thanks
Scott

It may be that the page sizes are varying and you are seeing a zoom affect. Try setting the size to a specific value and see if it looks the same. That's a guess anyway.

Cannot open PDF files on internet with Acrobat 7.0

I use Acrobat 7.0 to make and read my PDF files. Also have reader 9.0 installed. Today internet explorer 9 stopped reading pdf files on the internet. Tried selecting both Acrobat 7.0 and Reader 9.0 but neither work. Only get the cannot open the file message. Tried three different sites to try different PDF files. Suggestions???

Only for reading files there are some other (newer but small) viewing tools. remember that.
Also I wouldn't use the in-browser function of any tool you use. It's not necessary.
The file will be also downloaded to your machine, there is no on the fly reading or anything else you expect.
so why will you waste screen size caused by the second menu bar.
Set your browser to open .pdf files outside, so you get more control where files are saved and you get a better screen size.
In my opinion in-browser-pdf is senseless, just a confusing gimmick.

PDFing from PPT 2007 using Acrobat 9 Pro - custom options

I have just installed Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and i have (unfortunately)PowerPoint 2007. I need to be able to export as a pdf to very specific parameters for our print house and they do not want to play with each other very well. PPT has an idiot button that defaults straight to a pdf without letting me set up the doc in the manner needed - i.e. as handouts at 2400 dpi. I can set the output for everything but the handout feature. That has to be done using the print option in PPT. When we load a driver labeled Adobe PDF and i print to file - the .prn file gets cranky and looks for a specific joboption extention that has been created and saved where Adobe went when i did a save as under the preferences for the settings needed for the print house. It doesn't seem to know to look there when trying to make a pdf using a .prn file. Any suggestions??
Thank you,
Barbara

Don't print to file. If you want to convert the PRN file, open it in Distiller. The conversion settings are in the settings file on the second menu in Distiller. They may be ignored since you created the prn file with the Adobe PDF printer.
When you get a settings file from a printer that you need to use, open Distiller and under the menu items with the settings file, select to install a new settings file. Then install the one you received. Once it is installed, go back to PPT and print the handouts to the Adobe PDF printer (no printing to file, but direct). Before you print, select the printer properties and change the settings file to the new one loaded into Distiller.
That should do it.

Adobe Reader 10.1.3 Performance Problems (Open PDF from Outlook)

Hello all,
Adobe Reader 10.1.3 Multi Language version was rolled out to several hundreds of Win XP SP3 client machines.
Now users start reporting that Adobe Reader starts very slow. Most users complain that opening a PDF attached to an email in MS Outlook takes very long (10 sek up to several minutes).
In some forums I found problems with PDFs in Outlook in versions before 10.1.1.
Does anyone has an idea what causes this slow response?
Is there anything we can test to come closer to the problem?
Thanks for help.

I do not have this problem with Reader 10.1.6 or 11.0.2 on Outlook 2007.
WhatI would do if I encountered such a problem: observe the process with Process Monitor. This could give me some clues what is going on, compared to an earlier Reader version that did not cause this problem.

Can I make PDF from xlsx file with Acrobat 8.0 professional?

I'm using Windows 7 Professional (32-bit OS) with Microsoft Office 2007 Basic and have Acrobat 8.0 Professional. Newly installed on replacement computer (deactivated and reactivated license). Don't see PDF icon in any Microsoft Office software. Got great help in getting 8.0 added as a printer devise at SevenForums.com. But when I try to print (since I don't see the PDFMaker icon I'm going via PRINT), it gives me an "Error Printing" message. That got me to thinking and wondering if I can create a PDF using 8.0 Pro to convert these new style MSO file tags (xlsx, docx, and such)? When I tried to UPDATE, message said "There are no updates available at this time." I really don't want to update Pro to the 8.3 anyway mainly because when I had previously updated to 8.3, stuff just got a bit whacky. Any suggestions? Thanks for feedback.

Thank you Dave and Bill for feedback. I know that I'm using older technology with newer technology but for now that's what I've got to work with. I knew Acrobat would eventually stop supported AA8, so I've saved various update patches throughout the years. My earliest is AcrobatUpd814_all_incr.msp. Wondering if I can get earlier upgrade patch because am getting the below error message. Also, via periodic backup's I've noticed that I do have a lot of *.rtp (A_AcroForm_api_811.rtp and M_ACROBATPROFESSIONAL_8_0_HOMEPAGE_html4_810.rtp). Can I use this some how if I cannot find the earlier upgrade patches? Thanks, I know long shots.

Fscommand is not working when opening PDF document in browser with Acrobat 9, why?

We embedded a flash application in PDF using screen annotation. In the flash we use fscommand to call methods available in AcroJS. In acrobat reader 9, if we view the document in Internet Explorer, we receive a security sandbox violation message saying that it cannot make fscommand calls to <unknown> (allowScriptAccess is ). But when we open the document in Firefox, it works fine.

Have a read of this article on the web:
http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/99/1/FS-Command-JavaScript-Library/Page1.ht ml
The part that caught my eye was the following:
"...These methods will not work with Internet Explorer on Macs. This lack of functionality is a brower issue with communication with plugins and cannot be resolved by anyone except MicroSoft. "
I wonder if the same is true for Windows?

Cant open PDFs from government websites with Adobe Reader X 10.1.3.

Have uninstalled and reinstalled. Keep getting "Opening 16.8Kb/0.0Kb" (for example) on a gray screen. Refresh doesn't help.

Hi Ankit... I used Windows 7 on a PC with IE9. I discovered yesterday that some will open after about 5 mins or a refresh, but for other people the PDFs open much more quickly (although others I know have the same problems I do).
This is the website that wont work well for me ... any of the reports under Latest Reports.

Problems generating PDF from FO DOM with SVG in code.

Colleagues,
I am using FOP 0.20.5rc to render an FO DOM I have in a javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMResult into a PDF output stream destined ultimately for an attachment to an email. The FO DOM contains SVG generated from a JPEG image.
If dump the FO DOM to a file and then generate the PDF using FOP from the command line I get the image in the document.
If I pass the FO DOM to a FOP Driver in code I get the document but no image!
I'm obviously missing some vital configuration option in code but for the life of me I can't see it.
Any help would be gratefully received,
Peter
PS. Some of the code:
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setLogger(new org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.NullLogger());
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
driver.setOutputStream(new java.io.FileOutputStream("c:\\temp\\out.pdf"));
driver.render((Document)foDOM.getNode());

Output from run with a ConsoleLogger instead of a NullLogger:
[java] [INFO] building formatting object tree
[java] [WARNING] Screen logger not set - Using ConsoleLogger.
[java] [INFO] setting up fonts
[java] [INFO] [1]
[java] [DEBUG] Last page-sequence produced 1 pages.

As far as I can tell, it's not complaining about anything,
