  • Can not open PDF docs in Mavericks

    Can't open mail PDF docs when transfered to DT. Removed Adobe plugins and restarted Safari...no change. I can open then in 10.6 Is this a Reader or an Apple issue?

    Thank you Linc Davis and Joe Bailey. The three files in question that I was not able to open on the DT were empty (0 byte). I re-downloaded them, save them on the DT and they opened. I really don't know what took place here, maybe some preferences were previously changed in the reader, but I don't really remember and I am not too concerned at this point. The main thing they work now... so thanks for the help.

  • Preventing saving of pdf docs in X Pro

    Hi
    Is there a way to prevent people saving a pdf doc onto their hard drive in Acrobat X Pro? Perhaps by removing the 'save' feature or toobar etc, or any other way? The aim is so that people won't email a confidential document to others. (I know about the password encryption etc, but the probelm there is they can send the password to others - which basically defeats the purpose).
    Any answers will be very much appreciated.
    thank you.

    thank you.
    is there not a way of making it 'read only'?  Wont that help?

  • Question re copying current pdf docs

    I have a whole load of PDF docs which were created by an external agency when I set my business up.  We've moved address and I want to edit these docs without going back and paying a small fortune for someone to just amend address at foot.....what is the best way for me to edit existing PDF docs?

    With Acrobat Standard (I believe, I run Pro so check the actual ability to edit before purchasing Standard) you would use the Touch Up Text tool to edit an address at the foot of a form. This will require that you have the actual font used for that installed on your system, and you may experience incorrect spacing. It is dependent on how much editting/characters are being removed and replaced.

  • ColdFusion 8 drops Arabic characters when generating PDF doc

    Hello All,
    Please let me know what I'm doing wrong here! I have trouble with generating a PDF document from ColdFusion.
    The cfm document contains mixed English and Arabic text and it seems that the ColdFusion's embedded PDF Generator drops Arabic characters when creating the PDF file.
    I attached a bare bone cfm document (see print_test.cfm) that I used as an example to the stated problem.
    The document:
    displays fine in FireFox 3.0.10 (see attached print_test_screenshot.jpg) Used link:
    http://localhost:8500/Print_test.cfm?display=yes
    This image file also shows the characters that get dropped by the ColdFusion's embedded PDF Generator.
    is converted fine in PDF by the FireFox 3.0.10 using print command line (see attached print_test_firefox.pdf) Used command:
    “C:\Program  Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -print "http://localhost:8500/Print_test.cfm?display=yes"  -printmode pdf -printfile "c:\pdf\print_test_firefox.pdf" -printdelay  150
    is NOT converted to PDF properly by the ColdFusion using the embedded PDF generator (see attached print_test_cf.pdf) Used command:  http://localhost:8500/Print_test.cfm
    The print_test.cfm file, which I had to remove since this forum allows me to post only 3 attachments, has the following content:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

  • How to change text in PDF doc. which is a musical score

    Hello,
    I'm new here, so please excuse me if I do or say something I shouldn't.
    I need to change the words in a musical score because the font is too small. OCR recognition doesn"t work because there are illustrations that are different from images or text... Is there a way to get in there and make the changes I need to do?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply, but I have Adobe Reader 9 Pro. Will it still not 
    work ?

  • When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

    When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

    Hi Janedance1,
    If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • A problem with my mail in 10.8, crashes on scrolling down a PDF doc

    Hey guys,
    I've spent 2 1/2 hours on the phone today attempting to resolve this issue, fingers crossed an answer may be out there.
    When I attached a PDF doc to an email, it embeds in the message, no dramas does take a little while to load it on, then when I scroll down the email to make sure it's the correct doc, the spinning curser of death shows and then 3-4 seconds later the email scrolls down but slowly loads sections of the PDF.  At times the mail app crashes when it does this.
    It doesn't matter about the file size or amount of pages (one page 87kb, or 10mb 6 pages) it always 'skips' or 'freezes' even on sent items.
    I have:
    unistalled Adobe, through my PDF's are all controlled by Preview
    rebooted in safe mode etc and run by another user
    done the whole CNTRL, OPT, SHIFT, P, R thing
    hold down P and PWR and waited for 2 beeps
    plus everything else
    New to MacBook etc and I'm about to throw it as I can't opperate like this and costs me deals!
    Any help, hints etc would be appreciated.
    Nathan

    Hi - I'd guess that the adapter you bought is the problem ...do you have another to try? Also, having a guitar cable plugged into an 1/8in. adapter into your Macbook isn't the greatest situation as it really doesn't take a lot of cable movement for there to be a LOT of pressure on that small jack - which could easily screw up the insides. If you do try another adapter I'd suggest one with a longish/small cable attached so that you can plug your guitar in and not have any force on the jack at all.
    I too can get a signal this way (I have active pickups), and when I switch to the Macbook's speakers as the output the signal is delayed quite a bit. I use (and really recommend) the Griffin iMic for any real work with Garageband or the laptop in general - the USB signal is better, the cable doesn't pose a problem (as mentioned above) and if you're looking to record other sounds it can handle both line and mic levels ...and of course the price is great. The next real step up from this is a firewire interface of some type.

  • I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only

    I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only sends the original form without text. Once I've changed a doc in Adobe, how can I save it so that I'm able to use it with added text and notes? Also, I'm using a new iPad.

    If you are using those apps or websites, they are likely viewing the PDF using iOS' built in PDF previewing, which will not show annotations and markup to the PDF. We have informed Apple of this issue, but do not have any insight into whether or when they will fix it.
    Regarding the qustion about importing pictures, Adobe Reader does not provide any capabilities to import pictures into a PDF. To do this, you'll need to use Acrobat, available on your desktop computer.

  • Converting a pdf form to pdf doc so it can't be altered.

    I have a pdf form that I use to complete test reports for the city.  I then need to send that completed form to the customer and city but I want to send it as a pdf document so it can't be altered.  How can I do this?  I use to be able to print to Create PDF but now it's not available so I have tried this Create PDF online but still can not get it to save as just a pdf doc.

    Hi Diego237,
    If I understand you correctly you have a fillable PDF form that you fill with some report information, then you send that PDF form to customers via email, but you don’t want them to be able to altering it.
    You may use Adobe Acrobat to set/change restrictions for your PDF document – to specify what your customers could do with the document. For that just execute the following steps:
    1. Open your already filled PDF form document in Acrobat
    2. Chose File> Properties, select Security tab in Document Properties dialog.
    3. Choose Password Security in Security Method popup menu – it opens “Password Security – Settings” dialog. In Permissions area Select check-box “Restrict editing and printing of the document.
    4. In “Printing Allowed” drop down menu specify allowed printing options
    5. In “Changes Allowed” drop down menu specify “None” or otherwise whatever you want your customers be able to do with your PDF form.
    6. You need to provide password (for you to remember so that only you will be able to change that document again when needed),
    7. You need to Save that document for your new restricted permissions to take effect.  Then close and reopen the document – and verify permissions in Security tab of the Document Properties dialog. And if that’s what you intended – you could email that PDF document to your customers
    Now if you don’t have Adobe Acrobat yet but only free Reader, you would need to download a free trial version of Acrobat XI  Pro from here.
    And if that solution is working for you, please check out Adobe Acrobat Plus pages:
    https://www.stage.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html
    on how you could upgrade your CreatePDF subscription to Acrobat Plus subscription to allow you full right to download and use Acrobat XI Pro desktop application on your computer further on.
