Trouble initializing downloaded PDF file cannot use scroll bar

At times PDF download freezes in the process of initializing. Also scoll bar is inoperable in downloaded PDF file in Reader.

Could you provide more information about your problem?
What is the version of your Adobe Reader?
Is your problem about (a) taking too long to download a PDF document from somewhere and display it in Adobe Reader only for the first time or (b) taking too long to open a PDF document every time?
Does the problem happen with all PDF documents that you have or a particular PDF document?

I have installed Adobe Reader 11.0.07 for Mac OS 10.9.3. Have asked this question numerous time without results. The problems I am having are: I cannot scroll using the side slider on downloaded PDF files, nor can I fill in fillable files. Also, and this is extremely irritating, I cannot re-initialize the same file or initialize and another PDF file after I have initialized the first file. If you cannot help please let me know if should use an earlier version of Reader or find anther company that has the appropriate software.

Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

Cannot download .pdf files and word docs from KM using Web Dynpro

Dear Portal Gurus,
Using KM API, I am trying to download, documents from KM in my Web Dynpro Application. But .pdf files and word docs with screenshots are not getting retrieved from KM. Word docs opens with no content and Adobe opens with an error saying "Either it is a damaged file or It is not a supported file".
I am using the following KM service to download the content.
public byte[] retrieveResourceInBytes(String strRid){
///// after a few lines ////
     if (this.loggedOnUser.isAuthenticated()) {
// create a resource context with the authenticated user
     rContext = new ResourceContext(this.loggedOnUser);
// create a RID to handle a resource
      aRid = RID.getRID(strRid);
          try {
          // get an instance of a resource factory
                 final IResourceFactory aResourceFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
// retrieve a folder/file with context
                                             aResource = aResourceFactory.getResource(aRid, rContext);
     if(aResource.isCollection()) {
                                                                  aResource = (ICollection) aResource;
                                                  IPropertyMap objIPropertyMap = aResource.getProperties();
                                             IMutablePropertyMap objIMutablePropertyMap =objIPropertyMap.getMutable();
                                             objHashMap = new HashMap();
     if (aResource != null) {
                                                                     IContent oldContent = aResource.getContent();
                        InputStream objInputStream=oldContent.getInputStream();
             byte[] theBytes = new byte[objInputStream.available()];
             objInputStream.read(theBytes);
                    return theBytes;
     } // catches all the exceptions here///
Could you please advise if I am doing something wrong else could you please advise me for any corrections which would help?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Zeena

Hi Guys,

Are you Guys going to fix what used to be a good browser or do I have to use IE?
Please keep it simple.

Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE any Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset"
-> go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on ALL Options -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> '''''When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page"''''' -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http:www.google.com -> click OK
You can enable the Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

Opening downloaded pdf files using Adobe instead of in Safari

I prefer to use full-feature Adobe software to view downloaded pdf files instead of Safari. How do I keep Safari from opening them in the browser and instead automatically open Adobe Reader when the search engine finds a pdf file?

I have just installed Adobe Reader 9. I am getting frequent system hangs (cannot do anything without cold re-boot) when using the product, in particular when using forms documents provided by Companies House, a UK government agency.

Cannot open a downloaded pdf file..."The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format."

I have had this problem several times lately: I cannot open a downloaded pdf file. The error message reads: "The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format." But, of course, it is a pdf file.

My MacBook Pro (2.5 Ghz Intel Core i5) is running OS X 10.9.4. Here is what happens when reading an online user manual that I want to save to the Desktop and read later as a PDF file on my iPad or phone. With Safari I will select "Export As PDF" and the file shows up on the desktop. Even after multiple trials, there will be a dialogue box indicating the file cannot be opened. If I check the file info, the size is "zero." Trying to save the file as a pdf using the Print menu yields the same results. I have tried both of these methods using Preview, Adobe Reader, and PDF Pen Pro. This strange behavior also occurred several weeks ago and I finally abandoned the effort. But when the same thing happens twice, it becomes an issue that needs to be resolved.

cannot download pdf files from internet website with either acrobat pro x or proXI on windows 8 computer. windows 7, no problem.

Hi valerieross,
Acrobat can be used to view pdf's or edit pdf's not download them.
Check your browser settings.
If you are referring to viewing pdf's in browser, then please check the following : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html

Since upgrading my Mac OS X from 10.6.8 to 10.8 and 10.9, I cannot open newly downloaded pdf files. Please help! Thanks.

Hi,
Since upgrading my Mac OS X from 10.6.8 to firstly, 10.8 and then, 10.9, I have not been able to open new pdf files on either Preview or Acrobat Reader.
I can still open previously downloaded pdf files but not new ones.
I can still open new pdf files online. However, when I save a pdf to my computer, I cannot open them anymore.
I upgraded to 10.8 a couple of weeks ago and then accepted a free upgrade to Maverick (10.9) this morning. I was hoping that by upgrading to Maverick, I would be able to open pdf files again but alas, that is not the case.
I really need to open pdf files as a matter of urgency as I do this on a daily basis. I am not a computer whizz so if anyone can help find a simple yet effective solution to my problem, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

When I try to open a downloaded pdf file, I receive this message:
"It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."
Yet, when I try to open pdf files downloaded whilst still using Mac OS X 10.6.8, they open as normal. So what is the problem, please?
I have deleted Adobe Reader and re-installed it. Yet, it follows the same pattern as above. The same is true of Preview. It's really frustrating because it means I can only open new pdf files using Safari (so I have to be online to do this). I need to be able to open pdf files when I'm offline as well.
Thanks.

Cannot download pdf files. When attempt to download, screen turns black

I have had this issue for a while ago. Very disappoointed that Mozilla had not addressed this .
I have switched to using Safari and Chrome now as they do not have these issues.

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

I am getting a message that my complementary use period for "pdf complete" is expired. Must I buy "pdf complete" to continue to download pdf files?

I am getting a message that my complementary use period for "pdf complete" is expired. Must I buy "pdf complete" to continue to download pdf files? I didn't download anything on my previous macbook pro to download pdf files, and I definitely didn't pay for pdf downloading software.

PDF Complete is not necessary. Apple's Preview application and Adobe's Acrobat Reader (both free) are all most people need for pdfs.
If you want to create pdf documents there are any number of applications for it. Easiest might be to just print to pdf, (File menu > Print > PDF button) in many applications.
Best of luck.

I am having trouble downloading PDF files to my new iPad air. Works fine on my other iPads with iOS7 and iOS 5.

My other iPads easily download PDF files but my new iPad air is stumbling and the browser shuts down.

Hi John
iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb. This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well. This might be the common thread.
