Stuck PDF file

A pdf file has stuck/embedded in Preview making it impossible to save it or any other file opened in Preview. I cannot even close Preview without a Quit Force. Remedy?

Many thanks, why I didn't think of that I'll never know.

Stuck .pdf file on desktop

I have a Preview .pdf file on my desktop that is stuck. I can't move it, I can't delete it. When I try to put it in the trash I get a message saying that it "can't be moved to the trash because it can't be deleted." I can click on the file and select it, but from the Finder I can "get info" or perform any other action. I can open the file from the Preview App but can't change it's name.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem could be?

Many thanks, why I didn't think of that I'll never know.

Desperate 2 move PDF files stuck in top part of window frame...

While dragging PDF files into a folder, I managed 2 miss folder & drop them in the grey bit at the top of the window. Immediately tried 2 drag out, but I CANNOT move them.
They are stuck, & now appear in +every single+ window from Hard Drive to Applications, to Documents- everything. They continue to sit smugly at top thru clicking, say, Music > iTunes > Garage band.
I just installed PDF pen - this has sort of deleted the PDFs, but the 2 icons are still there- they just say PDFPen instead! When clicked on now,each brings up a blank page with same title as original PDF. These, I can't delete.
I'm belatedly backing up stuff 2 CD/DVD-of course, everything has these **** things stuck in every window too.
(No clue if/how it affects any functioning of any files,apps,etc)
Any advice hugely welcome.

Thanks for the feedback. There's been problems marking replies since early last weekend. Good computing.

IFilter - Index service gets stuck on PDF files

Hello, I'm running iFilter v6.0 on Windows Server 2003. The server takes a couple seconds to index a text file, but as soon as it runs into a PDF it gets stuck. It will never finish indexing the PDF. If I try to delete the PDF, I get an error saying the file is in use. I'm able to delete the file once I stop the index service. I really need to index PDF files for our website.
I already tried stopping the index service, uninstalling iFilter, rebooting, reinstall iFilter, reboot, empty the index catalog, start the index service, and finally reindex.

hello Ira:
I'm afraid this question will not get answered here-best to go to Apple discussions-printing and Faxing at this link:

Insert pdf file into another pdf file keeps getting stuck

I am trying to insert a 5 page pdf file into another pdf file (both unsecured) and it keeps getting stuck at about 71%* conplete. I can't even get the file to show up on the screen so i can close it. Help?

I have tried several different files, and get the same phenomenon with each one –
1.     I open an acrobat file.
2.     I open a WORD file.
3.     I copy a sentence from WORD to the clipboard.
4.     I click on View in Acrobat, Tools, Pages, other options, insert from clipboard.
5.     Acrobat shows that it is copying, and when it gets to 67% it stops and runs and runs and then only way I can stop it is to go to the task manager and end task.
I tried refrying with a file and that didn’t work, and I can’t imagine that Acrobat was designed so that each time I try to insert from WORD I would have to refry (even if it did work).
Please help!
Thank you

PDF file or Stuck Sleep/Power Button

For the past 7-10 days my iPod touch flickers (some times continuously) betewen use mode/sleep mode and even pulling up the power off option. I am not sure if the sleep/power button censor inside is having issues (it appears OK on the outside) or if it is because I recently started syncing appointments that contain PDF files in notes field. The button itself appears fine and the device is well cared and was not dropped. Later today when I am able to remove the PDF files from those dozen appointments to see if that is the issue but I thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone knows if we can sync appts with PDF files on the iPod touch. When I pull up the appt on the Touch it does not show that PDF file.
I'd also like to note that I did a restore last night....I did however use a backup to get all my info back onto the iPod. I am willing to do a complete restore and not use a backup to get my info back on there but I do not know how to backup my bookmarks and that is what is holding me back. If anyone can share on how to back those up so I can easily get them back that would also be appreciated. I have around 150 on the device.

Safari stucks when opening a pdf file, dowloading a compressed "rar" file

Salam everybody,
well here's the mess,
I got a lot of troubles when browsing internet using Safari. Honestly, it's a very good and quick browser, but it's stacks and close when trying to open a pdf file in w web page.
Other thing, when downloading from MegaShare, it stacks also when dealing with RAR files.
is there any plugins that I should add to fix this
Thank you.
salam

HI,
There are no Mac viruses in the wild.
I think the problem here is that you are running 10.3 (Panther). That limits you to how far you can go as far as Safari versions.
Unfortunately, an iMac G3 can't support the latest versions of web browser content including Flash.
Safari 4 requires:
▪ Any Mac running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7 or Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Security Update 2009-002
▪ Mac with an Intel processor or a Power PC G5, G4, or G3 processor and built-in FireWire®
▪ 256MB of RAM
▪ Top Sites and Cover Flow on Mac OS X Tiger require a Quartz-Extreme compatible video card. More details

I can not print pdf files since I updated to reader 11.0.10 I am so stuck need to do this urgently

Why Cant I print pdf files any more, I kind of need this urgently. Also can not find any one to email about this, can anyone help?

You ask "why" and say "urgently", but you don't provide any details whatsoever.

I cannot open this PDF file in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader on Windows 7 64-bit

I have a PDF file that I could open on my Windows XP 32-bit laptop in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader. I then upgraded to a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. But now in Win7-64, I cannot open this same file using the same apps (Acrobat 8 Pro & Acrobat Reader XI).
When I try to open it in Acrobat 8, it does not load and instead a popup windows appears saying -
Adobe Updater
Some components needed to complete this operation are missing but information about them may be available on the Adobe website. Would you like to search the Adobe website for the missing components?
And I can choose either the OK or Quit buttons. When I click OK, a web browser starts and goes to this website -
http://www.adobe.com/special/adobe_update_manager/?type=Filter&name=FOPN_foweb&version=0.0 .0.0&lang=en_US&os=Windows&osver=6.1.7601&appid=acrobat8pro-en_US&cpu=intel
This webpage says -
Adobe Update Manager
Adobe cannot locate the requested plugin. New plugins will be listed on this page. Currently there are no plugins.
So now I am stuck, no direction to go. I am left without any solution from Adobe for Acrobat on this file.
When I try to open this PDF file in Reader, it does not load and instead a web browser is spawned loading the webpage -
http://plugin.fileopen.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1
This is the FileOpen Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat/Reader, which prompts to -
Please click OK to download the FileOpen Plug-in Installer for Adobe Acrobat/Reader
I click on OK, download and run the Installer file, accept the terms, and installed the FileOpen Client (x64) B928. Upon completion, it prompts to Finish. But it does not automatically bring Reader up or try to load the file. So I try again to load the PDF file into Reader. But once again, the file does not load and the web browser is spawned loading the same FileOpen Plug-in Installer link. I click OK again, and start the same FileOpen Client process. This time, it recognizes that I have FileOpen Client installed, and the window gives me two choices, Repair or Remove. So since I apparently need this Plug-in, I choose Repair. The process seems to complete the Repair. But when I try to load the file, it still brings me back to the FileOpen Plug-in webpage. So now I am stuck again, and left without any solution from Adobe for Reader on this file.
I tried Adobe support. But apparently Adobe does not support past releases of their products (Acrobat 8), and also does not give free support for the current version of their free products (Reader XI).
Can this be fixed?

How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible? I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit. It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues. And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1.
And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible? I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues. And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other. So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together. If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together?
Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in. So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed. I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above.

How do I Remove password-encryption in a PDF file

Hello
Can anyone help me remove the password encryption on a PDF file? I am trying to submit a PDF file to a on demand printer & they di accept the file if it is password-encrypted.
Thanks

I have no idea why the printer thinks there is a password? When I opened the security link in Acrobat nothing is selected? So I'm stuck. I also opened the PMD thinking there was some password attached there & I found nothing?

Printer not print pdf file

I have HP deskjet 1510 all in one printer. I have complete all requried things for installation. and i can print word file in my printer. but when i am doing same for pdf file it's not working. i will explain brief.
first i open pdf file.
then i am click on print button
in printer there is only show send to onenote 2010 and fax option.
i am trying those both but i get nothing.
pls help me.

Hi @pl157
I understand you can print from Word, but when printing from your PDF program you do not see the printer.
I suggest using the following steps to delete the printer from device and printers, and the driver from the server properties.
1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder
2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.
Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.
3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
5. Choose 'Remove driver only'
6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
After the driver is removed, open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Printer folder > HP Setup and Software (or the printer icon).
The Setup and software screen will open and you can click on Connect a new printer.
If the issue persists let me know and I will do what I can to help.

CANNOT PRINT FROM ADOBE 8.1.2 PDF FILE TO OLIVETTI ANYWAY

Hi I have had this problem before wiht a laserjet printer and cannot remember how I have solved it.
I am on a Macbook pro running leopard OS 10.5.2 and trying to print a standard pdf from Adobe Acrobat Professional Reader 8.1.2 to an olivetti anyway. I have no other probs printing,and can print this same pdf through preview, but the fonts default.
It goes through as if it is printing then in the printer set up it just stops itself and won't print.
Any ideas?
Cheers

I did download new drivers, but the situation gets even more interesting. It is only one file I can't print. I print .pdf files from a particular website quite often. When I started having problems with this one file - I just got stuck there. Well, I went to some of the other "new" pdf files and was able to print those. I still cannot print one particular page. I have tried downloading the file to my hard drive but still could not print. I have decided there is some code in this particular file that my printer cannot compute. I did manage to get it printed in B/W on an HP laser printer. Just is a weird glitch. Thanks for responding.

How to resolve Content not allowed in prolog with PDF files

We are using PI 7.1 to read a file and using ASMA get the file name and pass it to a target mapping and call a web service with the file name.
We have a scenario that reads a PDF file as Binary form a folder. Our mapper uses ASMA to get the file name and folder of the
file to map to the target.
Testing in mapper works fine except for the ASMA does not function (known issue).
At runtime we drop a file and it is picked up as expected BUT from SXMB_MONI we see the following:
Runtime exception occurred during application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_FileNotification_; com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException:Content is not allowed in prolog.
This error does not happen all the time either. When it appears it is typically only the first time a file is mapped and on subsequent retries it processes normally. In dev we have shown that PI seems to get stuck on a few initial files u2013 process properly on the first retry and then at some point has no issues and will process files very fast.
u201CContent not allowed in prologu201D at least from an XML perspective is related to characters appearing before the xml file declaration:
<?xml version="1.0".encoding="UTF-8"?>
If chars appear before this you get this error in Java parsers. This could be related but we do not have control over how PI parsed the file content and puts into XML messages inside the mapper as we do nothing with the file content.
The same file will go through randomly with this exception on multiple drops. Sometimes it gets processed properly and sometime it doesnu2019t u2013 but in dev it u201Calwaysu201D gets processed properly on the automatic retry. It does not seem to matter what PDF we drop in there either.
Our tyoes look something like this:
Source:
DT_FILE - xsd:hexBinary
Target:
FilePath - xsd:String
I have tried with DT_FILE as xsd:base64Binary with the same results...
We use a UDF to get the file name from ASMA as follows:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key1);
String ourSourceDirName = conf.get(key2);
//conf.put(key1, ourSourceDirName + "/" + ourSourceFileName);
return ourSourceDirName + "
ToProcess
" + ourSourceFileName;

> Is using a custom adapter module the standard way to handle files when we do not want the content?
I would rather say this is a feasible solution
> If so does anyone have generic code that we can use for the purposes of simply monitoring a file and passing the file name/folder out implemented as modules already?
The questio is. What do you want to do with this information?
Here is a sample code written for a specific purpose, you can adapt this to your needs:

At least it is known by me

How to Sender PDF file as attachment in Payload?

Hi Experts,
     After I done some of PI scenarios, I'm stuck with one of my requirement... In requirement, "Web service" will send request to "SAP ECC 6" in order to get PO document print out in PDF file by call smartform or any form printing as usual.
     In my understand, I'm using SOAP adapter as sender and RFC adapter in receiver side, in RFC function, I will call form and generate PDF file by using normal ABAP function, but here, how can I send PDF file as response message of SYNC call from web service.
     I try to search and read some of document and blog, some said I can attach file as Payload attachment, but no clear solution or guide to do so.
    Here is example blog that I found, I really useful
       /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/04/19/xi-rfc-or-abap-proxy-abap-proxies-with-attachments
    Please suggest me in my case,
Thanks in advance...
Cheers,
Terry

Hi,
>>In my understand, I'm using SOAP adapter as sender and RFC adapter in receiver side, in RFC function, I will call form and generate PDF file by using normal ABAP function, but here, how can I send PDF file as response message of SYNC call from web service.
as per my blog you can attach PDF to a message only if you use abap proxy on ECC and not RFC
the code is just copy and paste from my blog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/04/19/xi-rfc-or-abap-proxy-abap-proxies-with-attachments
so there is nothing spectacular there

Whenever they want to save .pdf file into the shared drive, "Saving" message box popped up and showed for about 1 min to complete the file saving. I have tested with .xlsx & .dcsx but no error saving those files. only for this particular extension that facing this slowness problem. It has been on going for a month already and I couldn't figure it out what could be the issue.
Please if anyone experienced this issue, I would really appreciate your suggestions & guidance.
Thank you.
