Reader, IE8, Win7, and Oracle - Problems saving PDF

Hi there! I have an odd annoying issue. In short, my problem is that I cannot save PDF's generated by Orace in a browser window on my Windows 7 PC. My Windows XP machine does this just fine. Both are using IE8.
My work uses Oracle for a good bit of our tasks. I frequently have to save generated PDF's from the Oracle system. The work flow is like this:
1) Login to Oracle in IE8. Then open Oracle via IE8. This process opens up a Java window that houses the actual Oracle app.
2) Generate file from within Oracle. This opens another IE8 window in which I can choose the format of the file (RTF or PDF). When I click next it will generate the file...if a PDF it will normally open inside the browser window.
3) At this point on my Windows XP/IE8 machine, I can click save and a dialog box opens allowing me to choose location and name for the file. On my Windows 7/IE8 machine, when I click save, nothing happens.
If I change the settings in Reader to dissalow opening the file in the browser (forcing Reader to open), I can navigate to "Save As" and save the file. This just requires several more clicks (and to anyone that has used Oracle, you know that the last thing I need is several more clicks for a task).
I can print fine, so I can use a PDF printer to "save" the file, but again, this is more clicks.
If I navigate to a PDF on the web (I used the IRS as a test), I can save just fine, same as on my XP machine.
I've tried disabling UAC in Win7, doesn't help. I've tried adding my company's Oracle website to the trusted list, doesn't help (PDFs come up in an Unkonwn Zone no matter what I do). I tried manually enabling every item under the security settings of IE8 and it didn't help. I've tried running IE8 as an administrator, didn't help.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I found a decent workaround (not a true solution)...remove Adobe Reader and install PDF Xchange Viewer instead. Its free and has browser integration that actually works correctly. Looking over this forum, it seems that Adobe Reader has a number of problems with Windows 7...I would have thought that Adobe would have their act together better. I guess I was wrong.

HT5678 I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox

I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox.

do they save ok if Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow all other plug-ins is unchecked ?
If so, likely an adobe or other pdf plugin
Re-check the setting above & quit any browsers,
Look in this folder by triple-clicking the line below, then ctrl-clicking it & choosing Services - Open
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
remove anything with pdf in the filename & test again
Sometimes, plug-ins can be in the User Library folder :
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/

Hi pat27,
Are you still facing this issue?
Do you have any previous version of Reader installed, if yes and it is 9 or above. Uninstall that using Adobe Reader cleaner tool: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Once that is uninstalled restart your machine and try install again.
Also you may try to create a new user profile with Admin rights and try to install again.

Problem saving pdf from preview

Since upgrading to 10.4.3 I have noticed that preview behaves strangely when re-saving pdf files. If I preview a pdf document and the use the "save" function to make a copy, the copied file is about twice the size of the original, and the Table of Contents data seems to be lost. I've noticed this for files produced from the TeX package, such as are on the physics electronic archives (http://arxiv/org). Any explanation would be appreciated! I realise that I could just save a copy directly, but it is sometimes handy to preview first, and I am a little disturbed to discover that preview appears to be changing pdf files unnecessarily when saving them.
12" powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I can't help you, but I'm having the same problem with version 9.4.1
I have been trying to "save as" some .pdf documents (monthly statements) from a financial institution, but it does not work when I right click on the file, or when I right click on the document. Like you, I click on the "disc" icon, and nothing happens. I was able to save these in August and prior, but not now. It makes no sense.
When I open these documents, they appear in a web window, not in the Reader software, so there is no tool bar showing "file", "edit", "view", etc, like what appearsw in Acrobat. I'm stumped. I posted this several days before you, but no replies yet. I'm not real eager to pay $39 for the adobe help desk just yet.

Adobe Acrobat 9.4 Pro / Win7 Enterprise (64bit) - problem opening pdf

Hello,
i got problems opening pdf files.
when i try to open the pdf file i get the message 'access denied'. That happens when i try to open it with a standard user.
opening that file 'as administrator' works fine.
I tried the Win7 compatibility check and Win7 tells me that Acrobat isn't compatibel. I tried to run acrobat.exe in different compatibilty modes (XP SP2/SP3, Win NT) -> no cure . Only thing working is to run Acrobat as administrator )

You can try to enable Admin rights on your computer.
In start menu use the search field, type in cmd once you see that in your search result right click on cmd and Select "Run as Administrator".
Once the Command Prompt open's type in.
net user administrator /active:yes hit enter after typing it.
You should the message "The command completed successfully."
After you try this launch the software.

Problem Saving PDF with Opacity Masks in Illustrator CS3

I'm having trouble exporting an Illlustrator CS3 file to PDF. I have two layers in the the .ai file that have opacity masks applied. When I save the file as a PDF, the two layers with opacity masks seem to disappear (or they are flattened down to white/100% transparency.) They do not show on screen nor when printing. I've tried opening the saved PDF in Illustrator to investigate, and the layers are still there, but with no opacity mask. Where am I going wrong? I've tried a new file with a simple shape and a simple opacity mask, and it exports fine to PDF. So something is wrong with my file set up, but I can't pinpoint what! I have also tried exporting to various versions of PDF, and nothing works. Help!
Screen cap from Illustrator:
Screen cap of PDF:
Correct (Illustrator) with subtle starburst effect:
Wrong (Acrobat PDf), no starburst!
Thanks for looking!

Not sure what's going on in your file, but it's definately having a problem with the Steaks layer. Trying to release the clipping mask and ungrouping all the layers is having a problem so it might have something to do with the way the streaks layer was built.
Using your file I replaced the streaks layer and put a starburst that's clipped to the icon shape. I've attached two files. One is for Illustrator CC so you can retain the gradient fill on the stroke which is only available in newer versions of Illustrator. The other has the starburst I created expanded so that you can open the file and retain the startburst look.

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.

Problems saving PDFs in Safari

This issue just started today but any time I click on a PDF and do a "Save As" out of Safari I am getting the following error message:
The document "document name" could not be exported as "save file name"
Never had any issues w/ this before today and I frequently save PDFs through Safari. Any help is appreciated.
Jared

I am also no longer able to Save As... a pdf in Safari. On another thread I read that after updating Acrobat Reader, as I, too, did a couple of days ago, a user could not save Safari pdf files. He discovered a new Adobe plugin in the Library/Internet Plugins folder (not user library) called AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin. Moving this to my Disabled Plug-Ins folder or trashing this allows one to Save As... pdf files from Safari. I have no idea what this plugin does, so I'm not sure this is an appropriate fix. I probably can't do something in Acrobat Reader now.

When do you get the problems ?

Problems saving PDF comments in Reader X

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this behavior?
I created a PDF from FrameMaker 8 using Acrobat 8. A collegue reviewed the file and made comments using the Comment and Markup Tools feature in Acrobat Reader 9. Later he upgraded to Reader X and commented in the same file again. When he saved the file from Reader X, all of the comments (aproximately 95 of them) were wiped out of the PDF. Operating system is Windows XP, service pack 3.
Is there a limit to the number of comments/markups that can be made? Could this be a version compaibility issue?
Thanks,
Darci

Please repost in the Acrobat SDK forum.

Problem saving pdfs

Any ideas, anyone? I am preparing artwork for big display walls, CS3, and am working in 10% scale. Images are in 720 ppi, embedded so that they will give 72 ppi output in actual size. When saving as pdf and opening the file in Acrobat I get an error message that the file is not pdf compatible, even though it is saved as pdf, and the image is blank. I have often done this before on CS2 without problems. Was ist los?

The stuff is going to be viewed at about arm's length in a narrow corridor. And there's quite a bit of fine detail so I don't dare reduce the resolution.
I eventually solved the problem by making the pdfs out of InDesign, placing Illy pdf compatible files. O.k., I get heavy files, but that's what I expected. About 200 MB for a 112 x 170 cm image in 72 ppi with jpg High compression. Like I said, the original was in 10% scale, hence 720 ppi to alllow for scaling up in final output.
I eventually managed to coax a pdf direct out of Illy by saving as pdf compatible, opening the Illy file in Acrobat and saving from there, but the file was nearly twice as heavy as out of InDesign (398 MB which I knew straight away was ridiculous. I know all about compression for pdf - have done a lot of experimenting and a lot of display work - but this is the first time things have gone badly wrong and also the first time I have tried doing it out of CS3. Never had any problems with CS2.
Although the problem is "solved" in a roundabout way I am still open to further suggestions. There's definitely something fishy going on.

PHP and oracle problem

Hi,
I'm trying to create a chart with php ad oracle. I'm using this code
<?
     function Num_of_Rows($column, $status, $table){
          $conn = oci_pconnect("$username", "$passwd", "$host");
          $sql_query = "SELECT COUNT($column) AS NUMBER_OF_ROWS FROM $table WHERE Status = '$status'";
          $stmt= oci_parse($conn, $sql_query);
          oci_define_by_name($stmt, 'NUMBER_OF_ROWS', $number_of_rows);
          oci_execute($stmt);
          oci_fetch($stmt);
          return $number_of_rows;
     $result1 = Num_of_Rows("Admin_Number", "Active", "AS_ADMINS");
     $result2= Num_of_Rows("Admin_Number", "Locked", "AS_ADMINS");
     echo $result1;
     echo $result2;
?>
This code works but only once! When I delete the row $result1 = Num_of_Rows("Admin_Number", "Active", "AS_ADMINS"); the second call of the function works and when I delete      $result2= Num_of_Rows("Admin_Number", "Locked", "AS_ADMINS"); the furst call of the function works!
It seems that I can use the function only once and I can't call it again. It seems that the problem is someone else. Do you have an idea?

I don't know what you mean by "works".
Have you tried changing the echo commands so the output is not adjacent?
echo $result1 . "<br>\n";
echo $result2 . "<br>\n";It seems odd to allow an arbitrary tablename but assume that there is always a column called STATUS.
I'd recommend using bind variables where possible.

Problems saving pdfs in IE "not enough disk space"

After updating Adobe Reader from 9.... to Adobe Reader X 10.1.23 I cannot save a pfd file opened with a browser, wether using Internet Explorer 8 nor the actual firefox. The error message is something like .." not enough disk space" , what's not right!!!
I reinstalled 'Reader X - no solution
I deinstalled Reader X and installed the old Version 9 - saving is no problem!!
What can I do ??? Thanks..

when you make a dvd using dvdsp, you need to build it on a local drive before dvdsp can burn the dvd. So more than likely, .... there's "not enough space" on that drive.
You should always have a minimum of 10% free space on ALL drives and at least 20% free space on your startup drive. Having less space can create all sorts of problems and the data on the drive can get corrupted and unusable.

Printing and Sizing Problems with PDF Files

I have grading keys saved as PDF files. When I open them in the Adobe Reader X, some come up looking fine, fitting nicely on an 8.5" x 11" page and ready for print. Others come up looking shrunken and in the middle of the page. When I try to resize and print these, I get all kinds of funky results.
What I want to do is process all the PDF files (grading keys) so that they will fit nicely on the 8.5x11, without the user having to do a bunch a stuff resizing, etc.
I have included links to two PDF files below. The first comes up fine in the Adobe Reader and the sond does not. Can anyone help me with this perplexing issue? Thanks.
www.goodnewsjail.org/good.pdf (Formatted correctly)
www.goodnewsjail.org/toosmall.pdf (Comes up looking scrunched on the page)
Note: I might add that when I open these files in Adobe Photoshop CS, the one above that looks good comes up with dimensions 23.687"x17.745", while the one that comes up looking funky has dimensions 10.24"x7.85". I am as confused as a termite in a yo-yo.

Both of your documents have the same size: 279.4mm x 215.9mm. The difference is that the 'good.pdf' has its content evenly distributed over the available size, the other one has its content minimized in the center, with a large white space around it (in Adobe Acrobat).
As for why it shows a different size in Photoshop, I have no idea.
There is not much you can do about it with Adobe Reader, but you can change the size using Photoshop or Illustrator. See attachment to this post.
