Reader 9.3.1 locks PDF-Document

Hi,
we have some PDF-Reports which are created locally on a Crystal Reports Server and afterwards copied by a copy job to a network folder where users can access the reports. This works generally fine, but there's one problem: when a user opens a PDF-Document on that network folder and forgets to close it before e.g. going to a meeting, the PDF is locked for several hours and can't be refreshed by the copy job during that time.
We had this problem already about two years ago and found a solution - which I unfortunately can't remember. Since last week the problem reoccurs again - and last week our colleagues updated the user's Reader to 9.3.1. I suppose we had found a setting which configured Adobe Reader to open just a cached copy and let the PDF itself unttouched or something like that and that this setting was lost by updating to 9.3.1
Is there a way to configure Adobe Reader to not open a PDF exclusively so that it can be overwritten while opened?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Best regards
Ben

Thank you for responding.  Your question is where you've got me???  It has
always just opened.  Where do I find a feature like that?

    After updating to OS X Mountain Lion, there is a password locked pdf document in the Downloads Stack. Does anyone know what password is required to access this file?

    Hello, if your install disk is locked (I assume with FileVault) there is no way to change the password. If it weren't locked there were at least two solutions. As far as I know, the only solutions now are:
    - contact your dad
    - erase and reinstall the OS X clean
    Let us know.

  • How to read the data from a PDF document into SAP

    Hi Everyone,
    I am trying to read a PDF document from my desktop and get the data into SAP but i am not getting successful.
    I am using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload and passing the filename and type and importing the file length and the data into an internal table.
    I tried the file type as ASC but i couldn't get any records in the internal table and the filelength is displayed as 0.
    When i tried the file type as BIN, it is giving the short dump. I guess that is because the file i am trying to read is not with the extension BIN.
    Please Advice me on this

  • Adobe Reader Crashes while opening Secure PDF Documents

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Up until today, i was able to open secure PDF documents without any issue. Suddenly, it started to give me errors, saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and it needs to close. I have to tell Microsoft" and so on...
    I tried re-installing 8.1.0, secure documents opened a few times and then the same problem returned. I can open normal PDF documents but the problem is with the secure ones.
    Rebooting, re-installing again didn't help.
    What could be the issue and how to solve it? I have Trend Micro Antivirus s/w but i always had them all these days and everything was fine.
    Thanks
    anand

    Hi,
    Can someone help me on this please?
    I have tried removing Adobe Reader, re-install it but doesn't help. Secure documents do open sometimes but fail again. I have even tried removing Adobe Reader using MSI Cleanup Utility, no use.
    The problem seems to be in the imapdb.dll. An error report is generated by Windows XP but it is rather large to fit in here.
    I also Trend Micro Anti-Virus tool and it may have something to do with it is what i feel.
    Any help on how to solve this will be great.
    Thanks

  • With APTT and Adobe Reader QTP spy on a PDF document causes Adobe Reader to stop working

    Hi,
    We have the below configurations,
    QTP Version 11
    Adobe Reader 10.1.2
    Adobe PDF Test Toolkit for Adobe Reader 10.1.1 onwards
    Windows 7 64 bit OS
    Internet Explorer 8
    QTP shows AcroQTP in the Add-in page.
    But when an object Spy is done on a PDF document we get the message "Adobe Reader has stopped working" and it crashes.
    Please provide me a solution for this problem
    Thanks,
    Kruthika.

    Hi
    We have lately found that due to some of our changes in Reader 10.1.2 release, the plugins have broken.
    They still continue to work with Adobe Reader 10.1.0 and 10.1.1 ON ANY ENVIRONMENT WITH ANY QTP VERSION.
    For the time being, before Adobe roll out a fix, we would suggest you not to upgrade the Adobe Reader versions.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Adobe Reader 9.4 has started to open all my PDF documents continuously

    Recently, every time I open Adobe Reader, or click on a PDF document on file to open it, Reader starts opening all PDF documents on file continuously until I get a message saying there are too many open documents to open any more.  The only way out appears to be use of force quit.
    Have I picked up some kind of virus, or is there just a setting that I need to change?

    Oddly, it sort of sounds like app behavior under Mac OS X Lion.  Lion has a feature called Resume that puts an app that is launched into the state it was in when it last quit.  So, if certain documents were open when it last quit, those documents would "resume" (re-open automatically) the next time the app is launched.
    Now, your profile info says you have a PowerPC iMac running Leopard (and you are posting the "iMac (PPC)" forum), so this should not apply.  But maybe you are running Lion on a newer Mac and your profile info is old.  Or maybe Adobe Reader has been updated to have a restore open documents feature.  In that case, if you accidentally selected all in a folder full of many PDF files and opened them all, and then you quit Reader in that state, that "state" may have been saved for the next time you launched Reader. By closing each document manually, and then quitting Reader, you changed the state when last quit to having no open documents.
    If this happens again (in any app), these commands may be useful to know:
    There is usually a Close command under the File menu (in the Menu Bar).  If you press the Option key, that command changes to Close All.  So if an app unintentionally opens a very large number of windows (and it is not locked up as a result), you can give the Close All command instead of manually closing each window.
    In Lion, if you press (and hold) the Shift key while launching an app, the app launches with a "clean slate" (ignoring the state when it last quit).  I don't know if that would have worked in your case, but it would have been worth a try.  Sorry I did not think of it before; I did not see the possible connection to the Resume feature.

  • While reading PDF document using Speak Screen option, iBooks doesn't turn pages automatically

    I have been using the speak screen option in iOS 8 to read books and pdf documents in iBooks app. iBooks app turned pages automatically and kept on reading the screen till i updated my phone to iOS8.3. Now, the app stops reading the screen once the page is completed. I have to stop my vehicle, unlock phone, open iBooks app, swipe down with two fingers. It's irritating.
    Earlier, I have read dozens of books and pdf documents using this function while doing exercise or routine tasks. now it's not possible unless someone helps.
    Thanks for your support in advance.

    @Mukeshnnms
    Unfortunately, I am having precisely the same issue since updating to iOS 8.3 with my iPhone 5s.
    I just filled out a bug report here > https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html, which I've often read on these forums is the best way to get some resolution. I don't know if you read the list of "fixes" for 8.3 or not (here: iOS 8.3), but, it includes the following:
    "Fixes an issue in Speak Screen where speech will not start again after pausing"
    So...apparently, in fixing THAT problem, they broke something else. At least for some of us...
    <Note to self: WAIT even longer than usual to do updates, read about bugs first.>

  • How do I read PDF documents?

    When reviewing documents from work or online I am not able to read some items that are PDF documents. Do I need Adobe Acrobat Reader?

    Yes, you might need to try Adobe Reader. While OS X can read PDFs using Preview or even QuickLook on the desktop, some PDFs are constructed differently enough that OS X can't deal with them. In some cases I think it is that the PDF standard assumed by OS X is too old, or use features like forms or scripts that OS X built in tools don't deal with as well. Downloading Adobe Reader is an easy fix since it's free.

  • Problem with sending and archiving pdf document

    Hello experts,
    I have created the following SAP PI scenario:
    First a pdf document will come from our partner to a specified directory. The ftp adapter sender get this file and also set the filename in the adapter specific messages. Then a udf mapping starts to read the filename of the pdf document, because the filename includes a ordernr for a sales order in sap. So the filename will be mapped to an easy rfc structur, afterwards the RFC Adapter will be called. After this I have to archive and delete the pdf document in the origin directory. But this will not work. I tried following steps.
    After calling the rfc adapter another receiver determination will be called. That means a ftp adapter receiver is called that gets the filename and copies the pdf document to another directory. This works, but if I try to open the pdf document then it does not work, because the pdf document includes the structure of the rfc function module, filled with the filename param.
    Furthermore the archive function of the ftp adapter sender does not work. Everything is correct set, but the pdf document will not copy to the right folder. Before I create a Java adapter module for the file adapter sender, that copies and deletes the file in the origin folder,  another solution would be better.
    Kind regards,
    Erkan

    Ideally the processing mode Archive should work for your case.
    This works, but if I try to open the pdf document then it does not work, because the pdf document includes the structure of the rfc function module, filled with the filename param.
    Why are you using the RFC structure  for the other receiver in receiver determination. Use some dummy name in the Interface name and interface mapping and still the scenario will work. In the receiver channel, use the File type as binary.

  • TREX search failure for some pdf documents

    Hi,
    TREX search is not getting correct result for some pdf documents. It's not able read the content of some pdf documents. When we search with file name the search result is correct but we are getting "No document excerpt available" message in search result for this file name.
    Let me know where might be the problem for those pdf docs.
    Thanks

    Hi Tatayya Marni,
    1. Can you tell me whether the pdf documents are opening when you are selecting them?
    2. This error comes mostly when you havent included this .extn file (.pdf in your case) to the portal.
    3. Check whether this extn is their in your portal if not make it inclueded and then try making a new index and one new data source where your pdf is residing. Try for one Test.
    You have to include the file extns in System Confi....UI Interface...
    Hope this will resolve your issue.
    Regards

  • Extracting a web-based pdf document

    Hi,
    I am reading a webpage presenting a pdf document.
    I would like to extract this document so that it becomes a full pdf format document (that I could save on my computer)
    How can I do that?
    Regards,
    Sam

    Hello Sam,
    Thank you for posting. (J'ai vu que vous aviez déposé cette question ailleurs en français, mais je n'ai pas voulu me gêner en répondant à celui-là.)
    Unfortunately, it is not possible to extract a PDF document that has been embedded in a web page unless the document itself has been made available for download; in many cases, a PDF file will have been embedded as a preview, instead of as a document that could be downloaded. You could always contact the site administrator and request access to the document, although if it isn't obviously made available for download there could have been security measures taken to prevent sharing of the PDF file (heightened security of documents can be achieved using Adobe Acrobat desktop software).
    All that being said, if the document was embedded using Acrobat.com's PDF preview widget, there would be a menu with a "Download" command; this will not be the case with every PDF you encounter online, but it is certainly something to look for. If you would like to see an example of this widget, there is one in this blog post.
    Please let me know if you need any more information about this.
    Cordialement,
    Rebecca
