[SOLVED] Acroread Modified All PDF File Icons To Its Icon

Hey guys,
I made the mistake of installing acroread and now that I've uninstalled it (yes, this happened after uninstalling acroread), it changed all the *.pdf file icons to its own icon.
I'm not sure how to revert it back to how it was before (eg. ebooks have the front cover as the icon, white-ish for normal pdfs). Does anybody know how to fix this?
I've also tried right clicking > open with other application in order to set the default application but the acrobat icon stays.

Hi ConnorBehan, thanks for the help but I figured out what was wrong. Somehow the poppler-glib package got uninstalled so Thunar wasn't able to display thumbnails for PDF. Reinstalling poppler-glib back fixed the issue.
And yes, just for future reference, the adobe icon is indeed part of the faenza icon theme.

Can not open all .pdf files in Yahoo Mail.

Three computers using Windows XP and Internet Explorer can open all .pdf files in Yahoo
Mail. The fourth and newest Computer with XP Pro, Internet Explorer, and the latest Adobe
Reader can only open some, but not all, .pdf files in Yahoo Mail. Nothing happens when
the window is clicked to open file. How can this be fixed?

Adobe Reader isn't my favorite, but neither are smug and uninformed assertions about Preview. There are PDFs that render only squares and marks under Preview (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/24209/this-pdf-displays-with-question-m arks-instead-of-letters), which is a common problem in MS Windows Office generated PDFs, so you may actually need Adobe Reader for Mac.
If you need to use Adobe Reader (as I do), then it may depend on the filesystem type where you save your PDF. For example, our Macs are network homed. Saving to desktop produced the error reported above no matter whether I used Safari:Save As, or the PDF save icon.
However, when I saved to a local drive (such as /tmp), then it worked. I don't know why file system makes a difference, unless Adobe is doing something with extended attributes that doesn't get written correctly to some filesystems.
Hope this helps.

Can I modify a pdf file containing a signature field prior to download?

I have a pdf file I use as a template and in my .net application I fill in a few fields using pdfstamper, iTextsharp, etc. I'm new to this.
That all works.
I also have a signature field in my document.
After I modify the fields, with the person's name, etc., I download it to the client machine, open it in Adobe Reader X, and ask the user to sign the document.
I get an error saying "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The doc hsa been changed since it was created and the extended features are no longer available......"
Is there a way for me to do what I'm trying to do? I hope this is somewhat clear. It appears that modifying the fields with itextsharp is what's causing the error to occur.

Thank you for the replies.
More specifically, here's what I'm doing. There's a desk where people come to pick up a gift card. When someone picks one up, a clerk runs this .net program, selects the persons name form a dropdown list, I modify a pdf file (using iTextSharp), by adding the person's name, the serial number of the giftcard, etc, download this file to the client desktop, where the person signs using an ePad. Then the clerk saves that pdf file.
The clerk will not be able to go into the menus and remove and/or save Reader Usage Rights. Is there a way through code that I can add Reader Usage Rights after I modify the file. It sounds from your replies that that's what I need to do.
Also, I don't really care about the official "signature", security, certificates, etc. I just want someone to be able to scribble onto the document using a signature pad.
I do have Acrobat Pro X and LiveCycle. (I assume that means I have LCR Extensions.)

Reader 9.3 produces Runtime error for all .pdf files on hard drive and email

Does anyone have a resource that can show me how to eliminate a runtime error with Reader 9.3.1, Windows XP w/ SP3 and IE7. I have recently had all .pdf files located on my hard drive and in emails refuse to open because of this message:
"Runtime Error!
Program C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
So far, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Reader 9.3 from the website; added update 9.3.1 and tried to reopen files with no success.
My organization sends a ton of .pdf files and it is not good when you can't open them for review and action.

Hi All,
Although I don't normally post in forums, I thought it prudent to lay this matther to rest. I have tested the following solution:
It appears that Adobe Reader likes to check access to each parent folder as well as the actual application data folder. Apparantly there are other programs that also do similar things. As a result if you have your appdata redirected to \\server1\profiles\%username%\appdata adobe reader would first try directly access \\server1\profiles. If the user does not have to Traverse folder permission, this fails. Typically you will need to change your permissions on you profile share from:
-                   Users - Read Attributes (Apply to: This folder, subfolders and files)
-                   Users - Read Extended Attributes (Apply to: This folder, subfolders and files)
-                  Users - Create Folders/Append Data (Apply to: This folder, subfolders and files)
-                   Users - Read Permissions (Apply to: This folder, subfolders and files)
To the share permissions suggested by Microsoft in KB 274443:
-                   Everyone - Create Folder/Append Data (Apply onto: This Folder Only)
-                   Everyone - List Folder/Read Data (Apply onto: This Folder Only)
-                   Everyone - Read Attributes (Apply onto: This Folder Only)
-                   Everyone - Traverse Folder/Execute File (Apply onto: This Folder Only)
Hopefully this helps everyone.

How do I modify a PDF file that I created

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro X with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
From Adobe I selected 'Create' and choose 'PDF from File' and I selected a Word document.
Adobe converted the Word document to a PDF and it look great!!!!!
I want to modify the PDF file and change the 'text', but it will not let me.
Will I have to convert the Word document to a PDF everytime I want to change 'text'?
Thanks!

If you are saying you created a form from the DOC file, that may be a bit of an issue. First, you would generally edit the label in just the way that was mentioned with the text edit tool. However, it may depend on how you created the form. The creation process is important and that may be the problem. If it was created with the Designer tool, then you can not edit anything in Acrobat. Designer creates a XML form that is not compatible with the Acrobat tools. You may be able to edit it in Designer, but not Acrobat. You should still be able to go back to WORD and recreate the PDF.
If you created the form manually and don't want to deal with recreating the fields, the print the WORD doc to a new PDF using the Adobe PDF printer. Then open your form and use Replace pages to put the revised document behind the fields. The fields will remain intact.
Again, if the form was created in Designer, you may have to do such changes in Designer.

Setting Printer Acrobat XI Default to print all PDF files last page first

Hello,
I have just recently upgraded to Mavericks and also have the Creative Cloud using Acrobat XI Pro. In using Reader 9, whenever I printed a PDF the output would print in reverse order, so all I would have to do is take it from the printer and hand it off; it would be in the correct order. How do I setup Acrobat XI Pro to accomplish the same settings (print in reverse order) on not only 1 PDF, but all PDF files? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Can a print preset be created that would work for all PDF files and not just the one opened? Just trying to find out since no one has answered my question in 2 days and Tech Support wasn't much help.
Thanks,

Using Acrobat 9 and suddenly there is no selected page range in the print box. Only selected PDF files or all PDF files. Am I doing something wrong? I need to print only three pages from the document

There is no selected print page range in the print box. Only selected PDF file and all PDF files. Any suggestions?

Well, I looked for where to delete this but didn't see it.
NEVERMIND; I forced iPhoto to quit and restarted and everything seems fine.
BTW, I did get one thing wrong. When I looked at both iPhoto libraries with FINDER, the active one and the archived one both showed content as far as file size goes.
It was because I was viewing the files through Adobe Bridge that it was showing 0 GB's; for whatever reason.

Hello. Can I still use the forms central to modify my pdf.-files after the software is not supported by adope?

Formscentral isn't designed to allow for the modification of PDF files, forms or otherwise. If you have saved forms created in Formscentral as PDF you will continue to be able to modify them in a program like Acrobat. Hope this helps.

[Solved] Way to prevent acroread from opening pdf files in firefox?

Hi,
I recently installed acroread from aur and now everytime when I click on a link to a pdf-file in firefox, the acroread plugin opens the file in the browser.
Before I installed acroread I got a dialog, where I could choose what to do with the pdf-file.
Under Preferences->Applications I selected "Always ask" for the application type "pdf" but obviously this option is not considered.
Thanks for any ideas.

HT4910 i had pdf files in my ibook icon, ipluged in ipad and lost all the files?

I had pdf files in ibooks, i pluged my ipad2 into my pc. got into itunes and i think i lost them.
can i retreave it ??

Thanks for letting those who come here for help know that my navigation instructions are wrong on a PC with iTunes 11. The issue though is computer independent and relates to iTunes 11. When the device and iTunes quit syncing back and forth, there is potential for data loss. When trying to manually update, the iTunes library wants to replace the contents of the device with the library. That is not a problem if the content is complete. I had a situation where multiple pdf documents were added to iBooks from sources other than iTunes and were failing to sync back to iTunes. I had a choice, let iTunes replace the contents of my device and lose my pdf's or figure out a way to get my documents off the device and add them back. I chose the later, emailing them from iBooks to my computer. I then synced my iTunes library to the device replacing its contents. I added back my pdf's by dropping them into iTunes and synced. I have not experienced the problem since. My device and iTunes are now syncing with each other properly, including wirelessly.

Add bookmarks to all pdf files at once using javascript or apple script

Hello
I have a folder containing pdf files of a survey.
There is also a 'surveyname.pdf' file which consists of a number of pages.
These pages have to be bookmarked for easy reference.There is a 'dummy.pdf' file which has all the bookmarks of the survey pages. I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 to open this file.
There are also some map pdf's in the same folder.
How can I add the bookmarks that are in the 'dummy.pdf' file to all the other pdf files in the same folder at once instead of doing one at a time which consumes a lot of time for 100-120 files?
I use extendscript toolkit for writing the javscript or applescript code.
I would be grateful if anyone could help me in solving this.
Thankyou
Krishna

Here are some examples of doing the insert and the save in a separate operation. You can put them together on your own.
~T
//From the JS Reference:
this.insertPages ({
nPage: -1,
cPath: "/c/temp/myCoverPage.pdf",
nStart: 0
//Example of a trustedFunction SaveAs
mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction(function (cPath)
app.beginPriv();
this.saveAs(cPath);
app.endPriv();
app.addMenuItem({ cName: "mySaveAs", cParent: "Insert Page",
cExec: "mySaveAs('/c/myFolder/myNewPDF.pdf')",
cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target != null);",
nPos: 0

PDF file showing Microsoft Word icon in library

Hello all,
I've come across a weird issue in a Sharepoint 2010 library. We have a library that contains both WORD documents and PDF files. We have a custom functionality in our implementation that converts the WORD documents to PDF. For one specific document, after
the WORD document was converted to PDF, the converted PDF is still showing the microsoft word icon under document type.
As you can see, the document is clearly a PDF, but it's showing the Word icon. If I click on the document, it opens up as a PDF. Every other PDF document in the library is showing the correct PDF icon except for this one, so it's not an overall icon issue.
Anybody have any ideas on this? Is this something that can be edited for specific files? If not, does anybody have any idea what can cause this?
Thanks!

Hi,
Perform below step for PDF Icon in library.
Configure PDF Icon
- Download PDF Icon from Adobe website: http://www.adobe.com/images/pdficon_small.gif and save it to
Images folder under 14 hive folder <var>(In my case C</var>:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\Template\Images)
- Open Command Prompt and type IISRESET -Stop to stop IIS and edit Docicon.xml
- Navigate XML folder from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web máy chủ extensions\14\Template\Xml and open Docicon.xml by NotePad
- Insert <mapping key=”pdf” value=”<var>pdficon_small</var>.gif ” /> within the <ByExtension> section
- Save and Run command IISRESET -Start
