Trying to read some pdf document in safari, i only have a quicktime icon is it possible to fix this?icon

i often can't read pdf files when surfing on the net ,Safari try to upload the file and display a quicktime icon, in the best cases i have only the first page of the document is it possible to fix the problem ?
sorry for my bad english

Right click on a pdf file and choose "Get info" then on the info window, from the drop down list select an application you would like to use to view your pdf files (Preview would be a good start) and click on a "Change All" button bellow.
This will tell the Mac to use Preview or any other application you choose to open a pdf files.
Additionally, you may uncheck "Open safe files after downloading" in Safari.( Safari > Preferences > General) at the bottom of the window,

I can't read some pdf documents on my computer

I can't read some pdf documents on my computer with the Adobe Reader X programme.
Sometimes i can read old documents, but in the last months sometimes is possible and sometimes it's impossible.
My OS is a windows 7. I just disinstalled and reinstalled the Adobe Reader X programme but the problem persist.
Some can help me?

Hi Aquila,
Can you please try opening this PDF in your browser: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.3.pdf
If you are seeing the same blank PDF, then I suppose that you are not having the latest version of Adobe Reader i.e 10.1.4 or it can be that the browser is being used in 64-bit mode. Please use 32-bit mode of your browser.

When I read a pdf document using Safari I'm unable to read more than one page of a file. A padlock icon is locked on the tab. Please help.

Hi snoreaustralia,
It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help
Best,

Hi. I was trying to open some pdf files and got a message my adobe reader was deinstalled. I installed a new version of Adobe Reader for Mac and when trying to open a PDF file I am getting a message in a foreign language. Any suggestions?

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.

I'm trying to read some XML data from temperature logger over my network. I'm using LabView version 2009 sp1. I'm using the URL Get Document Vi. It works fine when using Internet sites like google or foxnews etc...

I'm trying to read some XML data from temperature logger over my network. I'm using LabView version 2009 sp1. I'm using the URL Get Document Vi. It works fine when using Internet sites like google or foxnews etc...
When I use it with my temperature logger most of the time I get an Error 66...but some times it does work and actually retrieves the document.
I can use the same address "http://172.22.21.68/XMLfeed.rb" (Internet Explorer or Google Chrome) in my browser and get a response every time. When accessing from my browser the server in the temperature logger does take around 6 seconds to respond, but it does respond every time.
Is the URL Get Document Vi exceeding a timeout? If so, where can I set it to wait longer?

It looks like the TCP Buffered Read has a 2.5 sec timeout, I believe that is where I had trouble as well. Try creating your own URL Get HTTP Doc vi in which you call URL Get Document in normal mode, with an appropriate number of characters to fetch (enough characters so that you capture all the important data in the XML file).

Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document. I have CS3

Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document. I have CS3 Web Premium with Acrobat Professional 8. I use it fine on my old computer with Windows XP. I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7. I installed all my Adobe programs, and I think they are working. When I look at Adobe PDF in the device section of the Control Panel it looks okay. But when I try to print a Word, Photoshop, or HTML page in PDF, nothing happens. I have tried printing both as File>print and using the PDF tab on the top menu bar. I look at the device in the control panel and it has the yellow error warning symbol and suggests trying to troubleshoot. I look at the document list and it says status "error". When I try troubleshooting Windows suggests doing some Home Sharing and also suggests canceling the document I'm trying to print. I tried re-installing just Acrobat 8 from CS3 (and have to use Photoshop CS4 disk for shared documents I guess). I ran into a can't locate adobepdf_dll file, so did a web search on this issue and found a suggestion that I find and use the adobepdf_dll_64 file and may have to (I did have to) remove the "_64" for it to work. I think I successfully reinstalled using that dll file- no errors came up anyway. But still when I try printing/converting a photoshop, webpage, or word document into pdf, the pdf device in control panel still gives the error status on the document and gives the same troubleshooting advice. Help?

I just compared the properties between the two computers. On the old computer it has the port as "My Documents/*.pdf". On my new computer it lists the port as "LPT1". I tried changing the port to "Print as File", but when I try printing a photoshop picture as pdf, I get a "Access Denied". I then tried to create a new port on the device control panel. I tried to create a local port "My Documents/*.pdf" port but was denied. I ten tried to create a new port type and control panel asked for an INF file. I wonder if this is where my problem lies. Thoughts?

Weird and Strange Printout of some PDF documents in Windows 7

Greetings! I am facing problem when I print some of the pdf documents in my new laptop with Windows 7. Yes, only some pdf documents. The printout of the words becomes strange and weird. I have attached here for your reference.
But if I print these documents in my desktop pc with Windows 7, they are printed nicely.
I am now using Acrobat Reader X. I had tried to uninstall it and install the previous version 9, but still same problem.
Can someone help me? Please...... Thank you in advance.
P/S: The printout below is from an english article.

Hmmm.. Seems interesting...
can you try this:
select the printer-> Advanced-> and select Level 2.
If it doesn't work you can upload the document here so i can give it a shot... am just curious to check.. (Only if it is not confidential).

I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in safari

Hi. I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in Safari. Also in old version of Safari, and in old System. In some windows, i can save the document, only now i can see this, open from pdf reader. Thank for some info.

Back up all data.
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 quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
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 have an issue with some PDF documents some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying on iPhones, iPad 2s

Hi,
I have an issue with some PDF documents & some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying properly on iPhones, iPad 2s & new iPads?
PDF docs - areas of the doc only show as grey splotches regardles of viewer
MS Word Docs -
inserted graphics don't display at all,
tables & lists especially with borders are broken &
tables & lists missing the borders &
tables & lists missing the 1st 1-2 lines of the lists/tables.
This is replicated on iPhone 4s, iPhone 4Ss, iPad 2s, iPad new (x2)
It certainly happens in iOS 5.1.1 & iOS 5.1
We believe it all worked aok in iOS 5.0.1(?) & prior
There is no problems reading/seeing these PDF & Word docs on anything other than iDevices.
This is rather critical for us & if not quickly fixed/rectified will prevent us from further purchases of these devices
Rolling back to iOS 5.0.1 or prior I believe isn't possible because of the BaseBand update(?) & isn't much of an option because of the quite noticeable Battery/Charging/WiFi improvements in 5.1 & 5.1.1

Hi,
I logged a call with AppleCare & have since had explained why this occurs (some time ago)
I'll try to explain what was indicated to me.
iOS has a limited Font Set & this affects what PDFs can display. You need to use iOS supported fonts in your PDFs to see/read them properly
These supported fonts are indicated here => http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4980
Regards MS office docs, iOS doesn't have much of an API to work with MS Office documents at all so is stuck with 3rd Party Apps to try to do it.
Unfortunately Mail in/on iOS uses the API to attempt to open/use MS Office attachments unless you tell it to use an App to open the attachment.
I have had success opening & reading MS office docs now with CloudOn, but find it slow & very awkward to use.
Not too sure if this helps others, but at least it explains why this is occurring

Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.

Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.
All of the apps I have found on the App store either do not have the text to speech capability or if they have it they will only read a page at a time or simply read the text you paste into their window. I really do not understand what is so difficult about having this feature as Kindle provides it--though Amazon does not make the feature available on its iPhone 4 app.
Please help.

thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

I am trying to create a PDF document that calculates Gains and Losses in Mutual Funds. The calculation scripts are repetitive from line to line. The scripts work well until I reach the line 32. Script stops calculating...

I am trying to create a PDF document that calculates Gains and Losses in Mutual Funds. The calculation scripts are repetitive from line to line. The scripts work well until I reach the line 32. Although I am using the same script as the fields above in the columm, the script eventually stops calculating and I can't figure out why. Is there a limit of how many calculation scripts you can enter? I will attempt to attach my pdf as soon as I figure out how. Thanks.

For e31 :
var e30 = +getField("e30").value ;
var c31 = +getField("c31").value ;
if ( (e30 !== 0) && (c31 !== 0) ) event.value = e30 + c31 ;
else event.value = "";
for e32 :
var e31 = +getField("e31").value ;
var c32 = +getField("c32").value ;
if ( (e31 !== 0) && (c32 !== 0) ) event.value = e31 + c32 ;
else event.value = "";
for e33 :

var c33 = +getField("c33").value ;
if ( (e32 !== 0) && (c33 !== 0) ) event.value = e32 + c33 ;
else event.value = "";
Java console doesn't show any error... That's why I am wondering if it's not a limitation issue... or memory issue, because they are maybe too many rows or something....
The c value is not calculated.

Trying to open a PDF document from a website

when trying to open a PDF document from a website, it goes to a totally black page with a white box in the middle, and states:
Adobe Reader
Before viewing PDF documentsin this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and except the End User License Agreement, then Quit and re-launch the browser.
consequently, i can't open the document

The first question is, did you do what it said? Launch Reader (on its own, not in a browser) and accept the agreement?

TREX search failure for some pdf documents

Hi,
TREX search is not getting correct result for some pdf documents. It's not able read the content of some pdf documents. When we search with file name the search result is correct but we are getting "No document excerpt available" message in search result for this file name.
Let me know where might be the problem for those pdf docs.
Thanks

Hi Tatayya Marni,
1. Can you tell me whether the pdf documents are opening when you are selecting them?
2. This error comes mostly when you havent included this .extn file (.pdf in your case) to the portal.
3. Check whether this extn is their in your portal if not make it inclueded and then try making a new index and one new data source where your pdf is residing. Try for one Test.
You have to include the file extns in System Confi....UI Interface...
Hope this will resolve your issue.
Regards
Piyush Bhurangi
