Ultra-Slow PDF's on new HP DJ 6980 (MacOS 10.3.9 with Reader 6.0)

Any size PDF from any source takes between 5-10 minutes before the printer spits it out in the usual seven seconds. Any other document, web page, etc prints quickly. Using Rendezvous, Ethernet connection thru Linksys router/switch. Print box from Reader 6.0 comes up with the selected printer, no problems. Of course, HP says "non-PostScript printer blah, blah, blah, "printer or machine memory issues blah, blah", basically it's not their job to make PDF files work. Only took a few seconds on my trusty (and still working) EPSON Stylus Color 740. I'm coming to this discussion to see if there might be any Panther issues known with this printer and it's software. Posted in Abode Reader forum but nothing for four days. Cheers.

Thank you for your response. Yes, you are right to suggest upgrade to 10.4 of course, but I've read stories of how it is slower, especially since I only have 256 MB on my iBook G4.
Sorry to say, but good news all the same for others in my situation, that the new browser Camino 1.6.4 is the best solution to this problem.
I installed Camino on my 10.3.9 and it works great, faster than Safari, better features, about the same feel and functionality, and completely stable with no crashes regardless of which web site I visit, keeping Javascript enabled. (I also tried FIrefox and it crashed on the same sites as Safari.)
So, all you users who still insist on their 10.3.9 OS, switch to Camino and experience crash-free browsing!

Slow PDF scrolling on new 12" MacBook

I recently tried the new 12" MacBook at the Apple Store and noted very poor PDF scrolling and re-sizing. It was very choppy for even basic scientific journal articles without many bitmaps or vector graphic images. Has anyone else experienced this? I was able to reproduce it on several machines. The MacBook Airs and Pros each were generally fast and even faster with transparency off.

Please see Bluetooth not seen in Windows as a reference. The new 12" MB has BT issues with Windows.

Experiencing extremely slow pdf printing on new HP 8625 officejet -

Getting very slow printing of pdf's. Tried setting in Advanced tab to let printer select color. This did not help. Using latest version of Adobe Reader and latest printer driver from HP. Anyone have suggestions? HP was no help in an hour chat. They blame it on Adobe. Makes no sense since my 9 year old HP Officejet had no such issue.

Any chance someone on "Staff" might address this question?

My PDFs using the new Acrobat Pro DC are blurry and hard to read.

The Acrobat Pro DC shows my PDFs in a strange way and they are very blurry even if I zoom to 100%. It's like it's very pixelated or something like that. Is there a setting I change or anything like that?

I can't help with the size but you can keep them from disappearing by checking the option in System Preferences > General > Show Scroll bars: Always.

Can't open pdfs direct from firefox, have to save it and then open with reader.

cant' open firefox pdfs direct
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about the last time there was an upgrade

Hi Nikoo,
Are you opening the PDF files in Reader or Acrobat (or in a web browser)? If you open in Reader, there are different options on the Tools panel from what you see in Acrobat. If you need to edit a PDF file, make sure that you open it Acrobat.
Best,

Ultra slow wifi

After months of not being able to connect to my wifi router (3COM) (kept getting 'Error connecting to network') Apple told me problem lies in my router and I should get a compatible router... like theirs... (disgusting - every other brand of wifi adapter has managed to connect to it)
Anyways, so I read almost every post on this forum and bought a Linksys WAG354 as it seemed most people could use it with no problems. And hey presto I can connect to it!!
... but my speed is ULTRA slow. I'm copying 30Gb to a PC wired to the router and my transmit speed (As monitored by MenuMeters) is occasionally going upto 1.5MB then down to 200KB, but usually hangs around around 500KB!! (~4Mb) and I'm sitting just 2m from the router with apparently full signal strength (5 bars according to the icon).
My router is set to 11g and other wireless PCs which are about 15m away in another room can copy at about 20Mb. When I try the same copy except with MBP wired to the router MenuMeters reports around 90Mb - so no problems there.
Basically my wifi is ultra slow. Does anyone know why this could be? Any hacks/patches I could apply? I do software update everyday, so I guess its a 3rd party fix I need - or maybe something to do with the router config? channel? wpa etc?
MacBook Pro C2D 17" Mac OS X (10.4.8) Week 46 Build

this is a known bug of the C2D wifi cards, it's still not clear what causes it, but i looks like a software problem, hopefully, otherwise the wifi card has to be replaced....
your not the only one waiting for a new update for the airport extreme drivers in the C2D and the mac pro.

Open PDF's in new window in document library when using "Find a file" search

I need to be able to open PDF's in a new window from a document library when using the "Find a file" search built into the document library "All documents" view. I currently have the following javascript on the page:
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("setTargetBlank()");
function setTargetBlank()
{ $("a[href$='.pdf']").removeAttr('onclick').attr("target", "_blank");
This works great when going to the document library and navigating through the folders then clicking on a link.
The problem is when someone goes to the document library then uses the "Find a file" search and then they click on a link. The "Find a file" search does not do a postback (reload) of the page, therefore my javascript to find the PDF links
and make them open in a new window does not run for the links on the page.
I have read the following article but this does not seem to offer a solution that will work in this situation for SharePoint 2013 (Office 365): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/7ad3224c-3165-47ae-95bc-4f3928e2f9a8/opening-document-library-pdf-in-a-new-window-sharepoint-2013?forum=sharepointgeneral
I suppose the idea solution would be to somehow tap into the event that is fired when using "Find a file" search to run my javascript and update the links for the search results.
Can anyone offer any solutions to this issue?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to open PDF files in a new window from a document library when using the "Find a file" search.
As you said, the "Find a file" search does not do a postback (reload) of the page, therefore JavaScript to find the PDF links and make them open in a new window does not run for the links on the page.
I recommend to use JS link to achieve the goal. Create a JavaScript override file and upload the JavaScript file to the Master Page Gallery, and then set the JS Link property of the document library web part to point to the JavaScript file.
Here are some links about the JS link in SharePoint 2013 for you to take a look:

Opening Document Library PDF in a New Window (Sharepoint 2013)

Hello,
I have numerous PDF's in a document library. When the PDF opens in the browser, the PDF's contain links to various other sites; however, when the user clicks the link on the PDF from the document library, the link opens in the same window as the PDF. I would
like the link to open the PDF in a new browser window.
I have searched Google but cannot find anything for SharePoint 2013. We are hosting our SharePoint on the Office 365 package. I found one solution that is repeated on many forums, but I do not see the "Convert to XSLT data view" anywhere
in SharePoint designer 2013. The solution states:
"Edit the document library in SharePoint Designer.
1. Open the site in SharePoint Designer and then open the document library allitems.aspx.
2. Right-click the document library web part and select “Convert to XSLT data view”.
3. Locate the name column, you will see this tag “<A onfocus="OnLink(this)" HREF="{@FileRef}"….. ”, add “target=”_blank”” in tag.
4. After this, the documents will be opened in a new window."
I do see my allitems.aspx and can open that with a text editor. The contents of that file are:

AirPort Disk works on Vista but is ULTRA SLOW on MacBook Pro...please help.

This is nuts, huh? Please help.
I can copy files using Window's Vista at about 7MBps so it takes around 2min 40secs to copy a previously bought 1.3GB iTunes TV show from the AirPort Disk (connected via USB 2.0)to my Vista machine. I understand this is a reasonable speed, if you think it should go faster let me know. When I try to play it with iTunes directly from the Airport Disk(by control clicking it and telling it to play with iTunes, not sure this is the best way, advice appreciated) it plays okay but I get a fair amount of stutters where it will skip a 1-4 seconds. Any way to fix this? Or should I just download it to my computer and play it from there. I was trying to save space and confusion on my computers and just play via the Airport Extreme Disk.
NOW THE WEIRD STUFF! It takes 4 hours to download the same TV file mentioned above from the Airport Disk to my MacBook Pro! And to stream the movie from the Airport Disk is impossible. Can anyone offer suggestions? I searched online and could not find any help.
Additional Info that might be helpful:
-AirPort Extreme 340ll/a, Version 7.5(I assume that's the firmware version).
-I erased with 0s and formatted an external 7200RPM 8MB Western Digital drive to "Mac OS Extended Journaled" via my MacBook Pro's USB port, using Disk Utility.
-My wi-fi connections seems fine: for web surfing it is fast with my Macbook and Windows computers, so that's not a problem. FYI, I did some internet download speed tests and got like 15,000-20,000kbps, which is pretty good, right?
-I hooked the drive up directly to my MacBook Pro's USB 2.0 port and copied the same HD TV show file to the computer, and Apple's "Activity Monitor" utility showed it is reading and writing at 30MBps which I understand is quite good. So it does not appear to be a hard drive problem either.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Cause of problem:
I found out that the problem was that in the "Airport Utility" under "Internet Connection" tab, the "Connection Sharing" had been set to "Off(Bridge Mode)". This stopped my MacBook Pro from accessing the AirPort Disk(an external hard drive connected to the AirPort Extreme Base Station). I still find it weird that My HP computer could access the AirPort Disk just fine and my MacBook Pro was so ultra slow(i.e. 4 hours to copy a 1.3GB file!) accessing files on the hard drive.
So, how did the default setting get changed to cause the problem to being with? I got some error pop-up box that said there were 2 NAT tables causing a conflict of some sort, so I followed it's instructions which put it in bridge mode which caused the problems. The reset of the wireless router put the "Connection Sharing" back into "Share a Public IP address" mode which is the default.
So anyway, this appears to be the end of this story, and I hope this post saves some people out there from some headaches and lost time!
Peace!

Multiple Digital Signatures (certificates) results in VERY slow PDF

I created a form in Lifecycle that typically has 8 signatures. As more signatures are added the form slows down significantly. Our director, who ultimately signs off on the document, has informed us that it took him 35+ minutes to approve 3 documents. The forms are on a network drive. I had read some old threads that mentioned this issue was being investigated and the newer versions of Acrobat should help speed up this process. We are currently running Acrobat X 10.1.4. Any suggestions as to what might be slowing things down? I know the digital signatures require validating and expect it to slow things down a bit but 11+ minutes is probably more than it should be. Thanks

Hi,
Just out of curiousity, if the form has been Reader Enabled, and, if the director could download the free Adobe Reader v11 from the Adobe web site, and he signs the file using version 11, is the signing process faster? It should be much faster in version 11 because we fixed the recursive validation issue that made dealing with multiple signatures so slow.
If you're interested in the nuts and bolts read on, but if not I'll understand...
The way signature validation use to work is Acrobat (and Reader as well because because the signature creation and validation mechanisms are the same in both) would start to validate signature number 8 right after the signature was created (it needs to do the validation so it knows whether or not to put the green check mark next to the signature). As part of the validation process it would need to re-validate each previous signature (and this is where things start to get weird). In order to validate signature 7 it has to also validate all previous signatures (6 thru 1) and every time it validates a new signature it has to do all of the previous signatures. Each signature would get validated as many times as it was part of the revision list. That is, signature 1 got validated eight times, signature 2 seven times and so on.
Begining with version 11 (or XI as it says in the product) we stopped all of the recursive validation and just do each signature once which makes the signature validation process much quicker. I'm always looking for real world examples, and if you can test it with Reader XI I'd appreciate knowing the results.
Thanks,
Steve

Save Target As in IE Opens PDF in a New Window Instead of Downloading

I work in the IT department at a UK firm of solicitors and we have recently observed issues with using "Save Target As" in Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 with Reader XI. Instead of prompting for the path to save the file, as you would expect, it instead opens a new browser window and loads the Adobe Reader plugin to display the file. The download Window does appear but as it doesn't even get as far as prompting for a path to save to obviously it never starts.
We are able to work around this by clicking the Save button in the Reader plug-in once it has loaded but this isn't practical especially for large or complex documents which may take more than a few seconds to load. The issue does not occur in XP with identical versions of IE and Reader.
Is anyone aware of a way I can selectively disable this behaviour without disabling the browser plugin as a whole?

Does that only happen with PDF files, or any files? My guess is the latter, which indicates a problem with IE. Try a repair: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378

Opening PDF Document in New Window

Hi,
I have requirement to open pdf document in new window. I'm using Travel Expense form. I'm using the FM PTRM_WEB_FORM_PDF_GET. When I give 'X' to i_display_form, it displays the pdf document in same session or window. But I would like to open the pdf file in new window.
The FM gives me pdf data of type RAWSTRING. Is there any FM or class where I can pass this data and open it in New Window.
Can anyone please suggest on this.

Problem displaying PDF file in new window.

Using NetBeans 6.5, Internet Explorer 7.
I am using the code example from BalusC at the site:
http://balusc.blogspot.com/2006/05/pdf-handling.html
I am having no problem reading and displaying the PDF file, but it displays it in the same window,
not a new window and it overwrites the current page, so I can't use the back arrow to fetch the page that is overwritten.
I am using a commandLink to fetch the file.
Does anyone know why I am not getting a new window or tab for the display?
The jsp portion for the link is:
<h:commandLink action="#{MainPage.linkAction3_action}" id="linkAction3"
          style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; left: 280px; top: 0px; position: absolute"
          target="_blank" value="Insurance Document"/>The "MainPage.linkAction_action" method just makes a call to the display function:
    public String linkAction3_action() {
        sb1.setMessage("");
        dsb.setFilePath("C:/");
        dsb.setFileName("Insurance_Summary.pdf");
        dsb.downloadPDF();
        return null;
    }And the downloadPDF() method is basically a cut and paste from the BalusC site;
    public void downloadPDF()
        // Reference:   http://balusc.blogspot.com/2006/05/pdf-handling.html
        // Prepare.
        FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        ExternalContext externalContext = facesContext.getExternalContext();
        HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) externalContext.getResponse();
        File file = new File(getFilePath(), getFileName());
        BufferedInputStream input = null;
        BufferedOutputStream output = null;
        try {
            // Open file.
            input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
            // Init servlet response.
            response.reset();
            response.setContentType("application/pdf");
            response.setContentLength( (int)file.length());
            response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=\"" + fileName + "\"");
            output = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
            // Write file contents to response.
            byte[] buffer = new byte[DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE];
            int length;
            while ((length = input.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                output.write(buffer, 0, length);
            // Finalize task.
            output.flush();
        catch( Exception e )
            System.out.println( "Error displaying file.");
        finally {
            // Gently close streams.
            close(output);
            close(input);
        // Inform JSF that it doesn't need to handle response.
        // This is very important, otherwise you will get the following exception in the logs:
        // java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot forward after response has been committed.
        facesContext.responseComplete();
    }

1) window.open will open a new window and call a servlet.
window.open ("http://path_to_yourservlet/PDFServlet", "newWindowName");
if you ant to pass some values from your web page to the servlet you can pass as
window.open ("http://path_to_yourservlet/PDFServlet?param1=value1&param2=value2", "newWindowName");
2) The servlet will fetch and display the pdf file.
