Secure PDF file problem

I have a problem with Illustrator when I save my work as a pdf file to send to my clients. The pdf file appears to be OK so I save and close the file. When I open the file again, the file is blank. At first I had a client keep telling me my pdf files were blank!
Now I have to save and close the file without password protection then open it again in Acrobat Pro and add password protection. Is this a bug in the CS3 suite?
This seems to be happening since I've started on Mac Pro, OS 10.5.1. Never had a problem on my old G4 and 10.4.1.
Illustrator CS3 13.02

Ken, I'm having a similar problem.
I built a series of PDFs using InDesign. I exported them as JPGs, then converted them to PDFs (a personal preference). Everyone could open the files just fine. As a last-step to secure our data, I added some security settings, sent out the PDFs again, and everybody opens them fine except for one individual, who opens them only to find blank white pages.
He then removed the security features from the files I sent him, and the problem persists.
Have you gained any ground with this issue?

How do I extract pages from a Secured PDF file?

Adobe would call that hacking, and don't allow discussion of it in this forum. You should contact the copyright holder and see if they are prepared to release the password, or an unsecured document, to you. If it's something made for you like a bank statement you should tell the bank how inconvenient their choices are.

ISSUE OPENING SECURE PDF FILE

Hi
I am unable to open the link in the secure pdf file after entering the password. It says to double click the link to view the content in it but nothing happens when I double click it . Please help.

Hold the Control key and click it. It should open in a browser window... or pop up a warning about Reader trying to connect to the internet. Click OK and it should connect.
If it doesn't, the link is "broken" and there's NOTHING anyone here can do about that. ONLY the author can fix the link.

Error message opening secure PDF file

I bought a secure water marked PDF file and am unable to open it on my computer. I get an error message saying, " There was an error processing a page. Wrong operand type." I'm able to download the file and open it on my Android cell phone, but if I copy the same file to my computer or download it directly from the website I get this error message when I try to open it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat reader, but I still get this same problem. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this? I can open other PDF files, just not that one. I even tried using the repair Adobe reader menu option and still get the same problem.

Sounds like pdf file is corrupt. Reader on your computer may be less tolerant of corrupt pdf files, since a corrupt pdf file can be used as a vector for a virus or malware attack.

PDF file problem

Apologies if I am posting this in the wrong part of the forum.
I am having trouble with pdf files I save from websites.
When I try to open them, I get the message:
unable to open FILENAME because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
I know there is no problem with the pdfs themselves, because everything works OK on my Windows computer. Is there something I need to do to my MacBook Air to get it to be able to save pdf files and then open them again?
I have tried to select the webpage content and save it to a Word file, but the page will not let me select it. Again, I have tried this with several pdf files, all of which work fine on Windows, so it is not the pdf that is the problem, but Mavericks must be doing something wrong, or maybe there is a plug-in or something that I need.
Any advice on how to resolve this?

Just to add a bit more detail, in case this helps to explain the problem better.
When I am on Safari and open a PDF file on the website, I click on EDIT (on the menu).
Normally when I do this i can then SELECT ALL, but when I am viewing a PDF file on Safari the 'select all' is greyed out, so I cannot 'select all.'
If someone emails me a PDF file, it opens perfectly, so the problem seems to be associated with PDFs on Safari.
I'm not sure if this helps to explain he problem further, but I believe it is a problem with Safari, not with the PDF file.

Pdf file problems

There is nothing more frustrating then spending all day trying to upload on single file to iWeb and have it not work...again and again and again...
I have a .pdf that I created for my Ordering on my website. The pdf works completely fine on my MAC and can be previewed and opened with Adobe Reader with no problems. It can also be opened and viewed from Windows. I have tried several times to upload this file to my website with no success.
I have put the file in my Documents folder on iDisk and have tried to create a hyperlink to it on my webpage. I have also tried dragging and dropping the actual file onto the webpage and uploading it that way. No such luck.
This is getting really frustrating.
Anyone have any ideas?

When you tried to create a hyperlink to the file in the Documents folder in your iDisk, how did you go about this? Did you use the Link inspector and choose 'A File' in the dropdown menu in the Link To box?
This is the appropriate way to set up a download for visitors. You don't actually need to upload the file anywhere first. Just navigate directly to it on your hard disk in the Open dialogue which opens when you select the File option. When you publish, the file uploads to .Mac or to your local folder ready for uploading to your non-.Mac server.
This is an often-asked question, and for some reason it's usually PDF files which are being discussed when it comes up. I put together a test page some time ago describing the process. This was originally for a guy called Jason and I then updated it for a poster called Jennifer. The principle is the same no matter what the name. This page is still available here, on my local server.

Hello all,
I've solved this problem... may be it isn't the best solution, but now I don't have any problem with big pdf files.
Sometimes Acrobat Reader may not be properly displaying the PDF file within the browser. And I've found that, to solve this problem, Adobe recommends configuring Acrobat Reader as a 'helper', not a 'plug-in'. To configure Acrobat or Acrobat Reader as a helper application:
1.) Exit or close your browser.
2.) Start or open Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
3.) Select your version of Acrobat and follow the instructions below.
Acrobat 6.0 or above on Windows:
1.) Select 'Preferences' from the Edit menu.
2.) From the Preferences dialog box, select 'Internet' from list on the left.
3.) Uncheck 'Display PDF in browser'.
Acrobat 5.0 on Windows:
1.) Select 'Preferences/General' from the Edit menu.
2.) From the Preferences dialog box, select 'Options' from list on the left.
3.) Uncheck 'Display PDF in Browser' under Web Browser Options.
Acrobat 4.0 on Windows:
1.) Select 'Preferences/General' from the File menu.
2.) From the General Preferences dialog box, select 'Options' from list on the left.
3.) Uncheck 'Web Browser Integration' under Options.
( I've found it at: http://www.aspplayground.net/forum/m_382719/printable.htm )
Now, when you click on a pdf link the file is opened outside the browser using the Acrobat Reader applicantion and without any problem.
I hope this helps you _

Opening a PDF file problems.

I have Version 9 installed on my laptop and sometimes when I open a PDF file I get a message saying file is damaged and cannot be opened do I close it and try again and it will open. It does not matter if it isn a old file or a brand new one. Can anyone help me please?
Thanks

Hi Francisco,
In the AccessGate screen for the WebGate, if you have the CachePragmaHeader and CacheControlHeader set to "no-cache", try setting them to "public" (or blank), restart the web server, and see if that resolves the issue.

Click box used to open pdf file problem

I want to give learners the chance to open a pdf file with additional information from a link to a click box. I want learners to be able to close out of the pdf and return to the same screen in the lesson when they finish reading the pdf. Currently it is not behaving as I expected.
I have set the click box link using 'On Success, open URL or pdf 'and selected the 'New', 'Continue playing project' attributes. I have been using the various Preview modes to test out functionality and find it works as expected; that is a second window opens with the pdf which can be closed, leaving the main screen unaffected. In HTML Browser mode to puts out a new tab which I can close to return to the main lesson. I don't like this option as well.
We are now down to my questions:
Is there a way to display the secondary file as an independent pdf file rather than a tab, like it does in the Preview mode, 'from this slide'?
Also, is there a way to stay on this parent slide once I return, then open up the same secondary window again if I want? Currently if I try, I'm passed along to the next slide rather than have the secondary window open again.
Thanks for your help.

HI there
The option "continue playing project" needs to be DE-selected. With it selected, when your user clicks the Click Box, play will resume.
There is no way I'm aware of to influence the browser behavior as it's up to the configuration on each user's PC as to whether you see a new window or a new tab.
Cheers... Rick

Help - upload PDF file - problem with adobe

We are attempting to upload a PDF file into an internet application. We are told that our Windows 7 is not compatibale with our Adobe software and even though we have the file name appropriately it will not populate in the window that is available.
