[SOLVED] Evince failed to open any PDF documents after upgrade

I have a x86 version Archlinux on a 32-bit intel platform. After recent upgrade, the Evince package was updated to 2.32.0-3, which fails to open any PDF documents. It gives a notification says "Unable to open document: File type PDF document (application/pdf) is not supported".
No other package was installed/removed. It just stop working after the upgrade.
Looking forward for any suggestions/solutions. Thanks in advance~~

Thank you so much.
The problem is solved as soon as I replaced the modified freetype2 from AUR with the official package. There seems to be something incompatible with the upgraded system.

  • The plugin is gets called when we open any pdf document in internet explorer

    Hello,
    I have written plug-in( .api) for our use. But it's get called when ever I open any pdf document in internet explorer.

    Please help me to solve this issue.
    Regards,

    Thanks for the response.
    I have written some function in PluginInit. I don't want to call the method when acrobat launches in IE. It should call only when acrobat launches in Desktop.
    How can I call the method only when it launches on desktop.
    Please help me to solve the issue.

  • Unable to open any PDF document in Windream using Adobe Reader (11.0.9)

    Our company uses a document management system for storing and archiving important documents. Since updating to the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.9) last week, we are unable to open any PDF document using Adobe Reader. An AcroRd32.exe*32 process is launched, but the document will not open or display. Eventually we suffer a system crash. Opening any other PDF document (not stored in the archive management system) using Adobe Reader is fine. Documents can also be opened in the archive management system using Adobe Acrobat.

    Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...

  • I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes.  Any suggestions?

    I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes.  Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue? 

    Thank you!  That seemed to do the trick.  Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

  • Can one set "Navigation Pane Buttons" Left Sidebar to 'Default Hidden' and 'Not Open' upon opening Any .pdf document?

    Can one set "Navigation Pane Buttons" Left Sidebar to 'Default Hidden' and 'Not Open' upon opening Any .pdf document?

    Photoshop has to have full administrator rights to have read/write access.
    This means you need to run Photoshop CS5.1 in an Administrator account and set it up to "Run as Administrator."
    1. Close Photoshop if it's open.
    2. Right click on your Photoshop CS5.1 launch icon then select "Run as Administrator" from the context menu. (You will have to enter Admin Password if UAC is enabled to change this setting.)
    3. Launch Photoshop CS5.
    4. See if you create and save a document.
    Even if you are in an Administrator account you have to do this as Vista's Admin account isn't really the Super Admin as it is in XP so you have to elevate the rights by selecting "Run as Administrator". This setting is sticky so you should only have to do this once. I am not sure why CS3 is suddenly acting as if it does't have Admin rights unless you are running it in a new account that isn't an administrator or maybe uninstalled (cleanScript?) then reinstalled.
    If can't create or save a document, check that the account that Photoshop is in is an Administrator account.
    To check if you are in an Administrator account...
    1. Type user account in your Vista or Windows7 start search bar. (Start search bar is at the bottom of the panel that opens when you click the start Windows start globe located on the far left hand side of your Windows task bar.)
    2.  Click on "User Accounts" which should show up at the top of the list. This will open the dialog to User Accounts where you can "Change Your Account Type". If UAC (User Account Control) is turned on, you will need to enter the Admin password to change this setting.

  • I am not able to open any PDF documents, what I just see is blank screen in new tab.

    I am not able to open any PDF link in Firefox(I downloaded and installed latest version) but able to open easily in other browsers.

    I have seen that same complaint a lot in this forum, and I don't know how to fix this.  Download the PDF to your local disk, then open it from there.
    Alternatively use a different browser like Firefox.

  • Can't open any PDF document

    Error message " Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and must close". No problem until  a few days ago. Upgraded from 10 to 11, uninstalled using acrobat  cleaner, reinstalled 11, used Kaspersky rootkit app. No results. Running XP
    Any suggestions?

    Please let me know the following details:
    1. The exact version of Adobe Reader on your system. You can get the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader or getting the same information from the Add/Remove Programs section in the Conrol Panel. If its not the latest version of Reader i.e. 11.0.03, please download the same from: http://get.adobe.com/reader and see if it solves the issue.
    2. Does the issue also happen if you just launch the Reader application alone without launching any PDF.
    3. Are you using any 3rd party plugin for Adobe Reader. If so, please remove the same and see if it solves your problem.
    In case you arent sure regarding the same, please follow the below steps and see if it helps:
         a. Navigate to the Reader installation folder. Usually its C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0
         b. Ensure that Adobe Reader is not running and delete the entire "Reader" folder
         c. Initiate a Repair transaction for Adobe Reader from the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
    4. Try temporarily disabling the Anitivirus software, and see if it solves your issue.

  • I can"t open any pages documents after failure occurred while trying to close a document

    I noticed that I am not the only one with this problem. I think it's an apple glitch. It is telling me that I need a newer version but I already upgraded it with OS X mavericks download. Come on apple fix this problem I do school work on my computer and if I did not save it in a DOC file I can not retrieve it. This is major problem, I have deadlines.THANKS!

    Since you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

  • [Solved] Openbox fails to exit back to prompt after upgrade

    I don't use any login manager so I simply boot to a console and start openbox manually via xinit.
    However, after upgrade OpenBox fails to exit back to the login console. Anyone experiencing the same? Any idea on how to fix it?
    Several programs got updated recently, xinit, openbox,... so I don't know what exactly is causing the problem...
    I also have xmonad but that still works fine. So if I have to guess it's openbox's (3.5.0) issue.

    Hm, here's a backtrace after running openbox --exit:
    #0 0xb76e0424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
    #1 0xb70ba422 in __lll_lock_wait () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0

    #3 0xb70b5e17 in pthread_mutex_lock () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0
    #4 0xb7231cf4 in pthread_mutex_lock () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
    #5 0xb7634c10 in g_mutex_lock () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0

    #7 0xb6fe87a7 in pango_xft_shutdown_display () from /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0
    #8 0xb6fe8887 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0
    #9 0xb748d0f3 in XCloseDisplay () from /usr/lib/libX11.so.6
    #10 0xb72e5d86 in obt_display_close () from /usr/lib/libobt.so.0
    #11 0x0805487e in main ()
    So openbox is calling XCloseDisplay() but it never returns because Pango is stuck trying to clean up?!
    Edit: Others noticed it too: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=802086#c6
    Edit 2: Are there any programmers here? Does this look OK to you? close_display_cb() gets called when the X connection is closed, and it calls pango_xft_shutdown_display() while holding a lock on fontmaps. Then pango_xft_shutdown_display() immediately calls pango_xft_find_font_map(), which also tries to acquire a lock on the already locked fontmaps. Bang!

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Adobe Reader 10.1.2 fails to open any PDFs

    Like so many others, I accepted the upgrade to Adobe Reader 10 and now I cannot open PDFs on the internet.
    The error message I receive is:
    "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1:1)"
    This message appears with no instance of Acrobat or Reader running. It appears with every repeated attempt.
    I would like to see Adobe support answer at least one of the questions posted on this subject.

    Hi,
         I also have Reader 10.1.2 installed on my machine and I also cannot open a link in the PDF, that will eventually call an exe file. I don't think that there would be different behaviour on your machine. So, I think, now this is the expected behaviour Reader 10.1.2 onwards.

  • How can I open a pdf document after downloading is complete and there is no screen reference to file name?

    I'm having a problem trying to locate a downloaded PDF file.  I'm using Windows 7, and have Adobe Reader XI installed.  From a given site some downloads  will appear with a listing of individual pages within the document, or there will be a window appearing that has a series of icons to print or scroll, etc.  At other times, from the same source & type of document, I will get a representatrion of doanload progress, then a "DONE" when completed.  There is no notification anywhere on my screen as to file name or where to look for this download.  I even go into "Documents", downloads, recent places, etc. to try and find a listing, to no avail. I also open Adobe Reader to see if there is any clue, again, to no avail. Incidentally, when Adobe Reader opens, there isn't any provision for scrolling, yet there appears to be additional  information below the bottom edge of my screen.  I sure would appreciate some help on this problem.

    On my Windows 7, with any browser, all downloaded files go into the Downloads folder.
    If you can't find your downloaded PDF docs, try a search for *.pdf

  • CS6 free trial ends and stops any pdf document being opened ...

    Brilliant Adobe and thanks for stopping me, a small self-employed business, from being able to work.  I downloaded a free trial of CS6 and it proved unsuitable to my newlsetter needs.  Now it has ended, I cannot open ANY pdf document as it wants me to spend loads of cash on something I don't want.  See you in court Adobe ...

    What has any CS6 product to do with Acrobat/ Adobe Reader? You're making zero sense. Simply uninstall the CS6 products and reinstall Adobe Reader or your previous versions of whatever you used. Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and Acrobat Cleaner Tool if need be. And to be blunt: Forget that "court" comment. Read the EULA for the conditions under which the software is provided "as is".

    Doesn't it automatically save as a .pdf file?  That's what I get using IE9.
