Saving PDF documents from websites

Previously with Windows XP and Adobe Reader 7, every time when I download a PDF document from the web, the window opened to the last directory I saved into. Since I have acquired a new notebook which runs on Vista (with SP1), I have downloaded Adobe Reader 9. Each time when I download a document, it returns to the root directory. As I classify the documents, I have to click through a series of directories before arriving at the last subdirectory. Instead of an improvement, it was a waste of time. To make things wores, sometimes, the directory name may have slipped my mind and I am lost.
Please help, thanks,

After installing update 11.0.07, I have been unable to print pdf douments from websites displayed in I.E. 11

I just installed 11.0.07 and since then have been unable to print pdf documents from websites displayed in I.E. 11 (32 bit). The problem did not exist until I installed the update. Opening the same sites with Chrome solves the problem, but some of the important sites I use, (FAA WebOPPS for instance) don't work with Chrome or anything other than I.E. for that matter. Does anyone know if Adobe is aware of the bug and working on a fix?

Let me put it in context.I am a developer, and in my work we create a flex application a few years ago and we are providing support to this application. Since 2 days ago th button we create in our application for View PDF just stopped working. We use this code:
public function navigate( url:String ):void
navigateToURL( new URLRequest( url ), OPEN_NEW_WINDOW );
It is very simplistic and worked fine as I told you, until Tuesday this week. Please tell me what happened, it seems the last plugin version crashes somewhere and my button just does not work any more.
Thank you.

Display only 1 record using uploaded PDF document from 3rdparty Website

Hi,
Any help will be very much appreciated....
I'm trying to create my first BI publisher report using a PDF document from 3rd party website. I want to populate the name from EMP table to one of the fields in the PDF doc.
Here's the steps I've done:
1. Created and saved a data set using only the ENAME column of EMP table. 14 records are available from the table.
2. Run xml output and then save as sample data.
3. Downloaded the PDF doc from the 3rd party website (government form - US Custom Form 7512).
4. Using Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4, I mapped the element name (ENAME) from my input XML file to the Name field.
<output type="data-structure" >
<dataStructure tagName="DATA_DS">
<group name="G_2" source="Employee" label="G_2" >
<element name="ENAME" value="ENAME" dataType="xsd:string" label="ENAME" breakOrder="None" fieldOrder="1"/>
</group>
</dataStructure>
</output>
5. Uploaded the revised PDF document to BI publisher.
6. Created and saved the report.
7. When I viewed the report in PDF, only 1 page is displayed. I'm expecting to see 14 pages because I have 14 records from the table EMP.
Any report properties that I need to change to allow me to view all the records from the EMP table?
Version of BI and Adobe
Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0
Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4

There could be an issue with the Loop. I guess your Template is looking at the first record only and not reading through all the records.
Try to get the BI Publisher Desktop tool. Using this tool you can merge PDF document and XML to see the output from your local PC/Laptop. It will be easy for you to debug.

Hi.
Does this only open on that specific site?
In any case, you may want to:
- instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
- reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
- install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

Trying to open a PDF document from a website

when trying to open a PDF document from a website, it goes to a totally black page with a white box in the middle, and states:
Adobe Reader
Before viewing PDF documentsin this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and except the End User License Agreement, then Quit and re-launch the browser.
consequently, i can't open the document

The first question is, did you do what it said? Launch Reader (on its own, not in a browser) and accept the agreement?

Saving webi document from BOXI 3.0 in excel with special character

Issue :Saving webi document from BOXI 3.0 in excel with special character as report name then file name in excel is not correct.
This happens only with Mozilla, get correct file name in IE.
Steps to Reproduce:
1)Create a simple XI3.0 webi report through mozilla browser
2)Save the webi report with special character name for e.g øäåýþ.
3)Open the webi report and save it as excel or pdf file.
4)Report name øäåýþ saved, displays with other junk characters instead of actual reporta name( øäåýþ)
5)When saving the save report through IE browser in excel or PDF display correct report name øäåýþ in excel and PDf file.
Even after making changes in character encoding to UTF in the Firefox options (Content tab-> font & colors : advanced button -> Character encoding does not make any difference.
Has anyone came across such type of issue?
Whether this is limitation of Firefox or bug.

Problem printing scanned PDF document from iPad to HP Photosmart Plus B209a

Hi,
I'd like to report a problem printing a scanned PDF document from iPad via HP ePrint application to my HP Photosmart Plus B209a printer. The document was sent to the printer without any issue. However, the printer only prints out the
screenshot image in the center of the PDF page, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit in an A4 paper. The rest of the document is simply ignored by the printer. The document with the problem can be downloaded in the link below:
Download PDF document with the problem
What could be wrong? Thank you in advance!

Thanks for the reply.
I received the document from my teacher, so I don't know what program she used to scan it.
I tried to print the document directly from my PC which works fine though, so I guess the document is OK.
My HP printer is an old model which doesn't support eprint or air print, so I used the eprint application on iOS to print the document. I tried both color and black/white which gave me the same result: only the center screenshot image is printed out, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit an A4 paper, the rest of the document is just ignored.
What do you mean by saving it as a document?

Reading a PDF document from my browser

When I want to read a PDF document from my browser (Firefox), the document automatically gets downloaded and saved to My Documents. Then I have to click on downloads or go the My Documents to read it. Then if I don;t want to save the document I have to do in a delete it. How can I just read the document from my browser without saving it?

Firefox uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

Is there a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying?

Does anybody know a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying? All this within the OS possibilities? Is there a way?
know one can buy expensive programmes like from Adobe, but I use it so little that I would like a cheaper solution. Freeware would be great, shareware also.
Any suggestion grateful received.

No way to do that using the OS (although the entire pdf can be encrypted, once the password is applied the document is open for copying/printing).
However, the freeware PDFLab does allow password protection, the 'owner' pw allows full access, the 'user' pw can be restricted for printing, copying, etc:

This can also be done with Adobe's Create PDF Online, but the above is free, and works well.
Hope this helps...

How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ?

How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ? Upper part with the image , lower part with a free space in order to take notes for students during presentation or course.
Thanks.

You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
Default: PDF/A 1-b
Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
Check the following check boxes
View Adobe PDf Results,
Add Document Information,
Rely on system fonts only,
Delete Log files for successful jobs.
Select OK
A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
Hope this will help.

That depends on your operating system and browser. On Windows, e.g. using Firefox, you right-click on the link, then select 'Save link as...'.
