Unable to read pdfs from the web on my mac
i've read all the advice about re-installing Adobe Flash (and deleting past versions) and have followed the advice (and restarted my computer) but to no avail. When I try to open a pdf from a website I only get a black screen. Any advice?
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.

My Mac won't print a pdf from the web
My iMac will not print any pdf from the web. The printer (an ho Photosmart plus) will only print a blank shet of paper.
Try saving the file then, then open Preview and open the file and try printing again. If if the quality is still bad then it's the file itself.

Hello,
I am having a wierd issue with pdfs from the web. I have adobe acrobat pro 9 (patched up to date) and I have enabled the 'do not open in browser' setting. When I click a pdf link, it opens acrobat 9 as it should but the file name/file type is not .pdf. I do not have reader installed and cannot figure it out. The main issue is when I click the email link, it sends the link for the unknown file rather than the .pdf as I intended.
The short term work around is to save as and reopen the newly saved .pdf.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!Go to Adobe Acrobat Reader Preferences and, under Internet, it asks if you want to display PDFs in Acrobat Reader (or Acrobat Pro, etc.). If checked, uncheck the box. Then CTRL-click on a PDF file and select "Open With". If you hold down the Option key at this point, this Open With" will change to "Always Open With". Select Preview. That should do it. Watch out for Reader or some other Adobe programs that ask if you want to make Reader the default PDF viewer when you open them. Always answer "NO".

Hi Everybody,
i'm playing a little bit with Windows Azure and I'm blocked with a really simple issue (or maybe not).
I've created a Cloud Service containing one simple Worker Role. I've configured an EndPoint in the WorkerRole configuration, which allows Input connections via tcp on port 10100.
Here the ServiceDefinition.csdef file content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ServiceDefinition name="EmacCloudService" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceDefinition" schemaVersion="2014-01.2.3">
<WorkerRole name="TcpListenerWorkerRole" vmsize="Small">
<Imports>
<Import moduleName="Diagnostics" />
<Import moduleName="RemoteAccess" />
<Import moduleName="RemoteForwarder" />
</Imports>
<Endpoints>
<InputEndpoint name="Endpoint1" protocol="tcp" port="10100" />
</Endpoints>
</WorkerRole>
</ServiceDefinition>
This WorkerRole is just creating a TcpListener object listening to the configured port (using the RoleEnvironment instance) and waits for an incoming connection. It receives a message and returns a hardcoded message (see code snippet below).
namespace TcpListenerWorkerRole
using System;
using System.Net;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Text;
using Roche.Emac.Infrastructure;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
public class WorkerRole : RoleEntryPoint
public override void Run()
// This is a sample worker implementation. Replace with your logic.
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("TcpListenerWorkerRole entry point called");
TcpListener listener = null;
try
listener = new TcpListener(RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints["Endpoint1"].IPEndpoint);
listener.ExclusiveAddressUse = false;
listener.Start();
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info(string.Format("TcpListener started at '{0}:{1}'", RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints["Endpoint1"].IPEndpoint.Address, RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints["Endpoint1"].IPEndpoint.Port));
catch (SocketException ex)
LoggingProvider.Logger.Exception("Unexpected exception while creating the TcpListener", ex);
return;
while (true)
Task.Run(async () =>
TcpClient client = await listener.AcceptTcpClientAsync();
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info(string.Format("Client connected. Address='{0}'", client.Client.RemoteEndPoint.ToString()));
NetworkStream networkStream = client.GetStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(networkStream);
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(networkStream);
writer.AutoFlush = true;
string input = string.Empty;
while (true)
try
char[] receivedChars = new char[client.ReceiveBufferSize];
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("Buffer size: " + client.ReceiveBufferSize);
int readedChars = reader.Read(receivedChars, 0, client.ReceiveBufferSize);
char[] validChars = new char[readedChars];
Array.ConstrainedCopy(receivedChars, 0, validChars, 0, readedChars);
input = new string(validChars);
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("This is what the host sent to you: " + input+". Readed chars=" + readedChars);
try
string orderResultFormat = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\xB")) + @"MSH|^~\&|Instrument|Laboratory|LIS|LIS Facility|20120427123212+0100||ORL^O34^ORL_O34| 11|P|2.5.1||||||UNICODE UTF-8|||LAB-28^IHE" + Environment.NewLine + "MSA|AA|10" + Environment.NewLine + @"PID|||patientId||""""||19700101|M" + Environment.NewLine + "SPM|1|sampleId&ROCHE||ORH^^HL70487|||||||P^^HL70369" + Environment.NewLine + "SAC|||sampleId" + Environment.NewLine + "ORC|OK|orderId|||SC||||20120427123212" + Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\x1c\x0d"));
writer.Write(orderResultFormat);
catch (Exception e)
LoggingProvider.Logger.Exception("Unexpected exception while writting the response", e);
client.Close();
break;
catch (Exception ex)
LoggingProvider.Logger.Exception("Unexpected exception while Reading the request", ex);
client.Close();
break;
}).Wait();
public override bool OnStart()
// Set the maximum number of concurrent connections
ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 12;
DiagnosticMonitor.Start("Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString");
RoleEnvironment.Changing += RoleEnvironment_Changing;
return base.OnStart();
private void RoleEnvironment_Changing(object sender, RoleEnvironmentChangingEventArgs e)
// If a configuration setting is changing
LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("RoleEnvironment is changing....");
if (e.Changes.Any(change => change is RoleEnvironmentConfigurationSettingChange))
// Set e.Cancel to true to restart this role instance
e.Cancel = true;
As you can see, nothing special is being done. I've used the RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints to retrieve the current IPEndpoint.
Running the Cloud Service in the Windows Azure Compute Emulator everything works fine, but when I deploy it in Azure, then I receive the following Exception:
2014-08-06 14:55:23,816 [Role Start Thread] INFO EMAC Log - TcpListenerWorkerRole entry point called

I've already tried to configure an internal port in the ServiceDefinition.csdef file, but I get the same exception there.
As you can see, the client can connect to the service (the log shows the message: Client connected with the address) but when it tries to read the bytes from the stream, it throws the exception.
For me it seems like Azure is preventing the retrieval of the message. I've tried to disable the Firewall in the VM in Azure and the same continues happening.
I'm using Windows Azure SDK 2.3
Any help will be very very welcome!
Thanks in advance!

En caso de que la respuesta te sirva, porfavor, márcala como válida
Muchas gracias y suerte!

Blog: http://jimenezroda.wordpress.comhi Javier,
I changed your code like this:
private AutoResetEvent connectionWaitHandle = new AutoResetEvent(false);
public override void Run()
TcpListener listener = null;
try
listener = new TcpListener(
RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.InstanceEndpoints["Endpoint"].IPEndpoint);
listener.ExclusiveAddressUse = false;
listener.Start();
catch (SocketException se)
return;
while (true)
IAsyncResult result = listener.BeginAcceptTcpClient(HandleAsyncConnection, listener);
connectionWaitHandle.WaitOne();
The HandleAsync method is your "While (true)" code:
private void HandleAsyncConnection(IAsyncResult result)
TcpListener listener = (TcpListener)result.AsyncState;
TcpClient client = listener.EndAcceptTcpClient(result);
connectionWaitHandle.Set();
NetworkStream netStream = client.GetStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(netStream);
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(netStream);
writer.AutoFlush = true;
string input = string.Empty;
try
char[] receivedChars = new char[client.ReceiveBufferSize];
// LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("Buffer size: " + client.ReceiveBufferSize);
int readedChars = reader.Read(receivedChars, 0, client.ReceiveBufferSize);
char[] validChars = new char[readedChars];
Array.ConstrainedCopy(receivedChars, 0, validChars, 0, readedChars);
input = new string(validChars);
// LoggingProvider.Logger.Info("This is what the host sent to you: " + input + ". Readed chars=" + readedChars);
try
string orderResultFormat = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\xB")) + @"MSH|^~\&|Instrument|Laboratory|LIS|LIS Facility|20120427123212+0100||ORL^O34^ORL_O34| 11|P|2.5.1||||||UNICODE UTF-8|||LAB-28^IHE" + Environment.NewLine + "MSA|AA|10" + Environment.NewLine + @"PID|||patientId||""""||19700101|M" + Environment.NewLine + "SPM|1|sampleId&ROCHE||ORH^^HL70487|||||||P^^HL70369" + Environment.NewLine + "SAC|||sampleId" + Environment.NewLine + "ORC|OK|orderId|||SC||||20120427123212" + Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\x1c\x0d"));
writer.Write(orderResultFormat);
catch (Exception e)
// LoggingProvider.Logger.Exception("Unexpected exception while writting the response", e);
client.Close();
catch (Exception ex)
//LoggingProvider.Logger.Exception("Unexpected exception while Reading the request", ex);
client.Close();
Please try it. For this error message, I suggest you could refer to this thread (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6173763/using-windows-azure-to-use-as-a-tcp-server

Error during database connection to the database URL 'jdbc:sqlserver://172.16.40.20:1433;databasename=TRAVEL:SelectMethod=cursor' using the JDBC driver 'com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver': 'com.sap.aii.adapter.jdbc.sql.DriverManagerException: Cannot establish connection to URL 'jdbc:sqlserver://172.16.40.20:1433;databasename=TRAVEL:SelectMethod=cursor': com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "TRAVEL:SelectMethod=cursor" requested by the login. The login failed.'
when i tried my login in sql it works...but in this message the login is failed..what shall i do..
Please advice.
Thanks in advance
aVaDuDzHi
Check with the connection string & Authorization of user you have used.
MSSQL string is
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://dbhost:1433;databaseName=example;SelectMethod=Cursor
While doing JDBC its good to refer Note 831162 lot of problems can be resolved.

Unable to read payload from the message object
Hi
I have a scenario where i am send request to http receiver and getting the response. When I am testing through WFETCH it is working fine. But when i am testing through XI I am getting the follwoing error
Unable to read payload from the message object
I have tested the XI payload in mapping. I have done all kinds of testing but it is still giving the same error.
One more strange thing is
I have done one BPM scenario where Data is coming from Source to BPM( which is asyn) and then from it will go from BPM to Target (which is sync) But when I am checking the SXMB_MONI... it showing the messages like this
Source to BPM
Target to BPM
Target to BPM.
But i think it should show message like
Source to BPM
BPM to Target
Target to BPM
why i am getting the floHi

Unable to read data from the SAP marketplace
Hi All,
These days, certain packages in my download basketball cannot be downloaded, while others can be downloaded normally.
After serveral redirecting, the SAP download manager keeps informing me that "Unable to read data from the SAP marketplace, check your settings and try again".
Anyone knows how to solve it?
Thanks,
YiningHi Yining,
You user on SAP MarketPlace is locked.
You have to unlock it but I do not know the way.
Check in user data maintenance on SAP MarketPlace who is your responsible and perhaps he wwill be able to solve to unlock our user.

Unable to read data from the SAP Service Marketplace issue
Good morning, experts.
I´ve just installed the SAP Download Manager, but I can´t get connected to Marketplace.
First I tried downloading a file I could see in my Basket Download. Then I deleted it from the basket so I could test only the connection. In both situations I got the same error message: "Unable to read data from the SAP Service Marketplace (...)".
It is probably due to wrong settings, but I can´t figure it out. My settings are:
Address: https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/
User name: S0005951541
Password: (my password)
Proxy (my proxy settings)
Any ideas?Thanks for your answer.
I can see my download basket online. I realize I didn´t delete the items so I could test purely the connection. I am going to do it again.
I found out I dind´t have permission to download those items, and with the right permission I could download them directly online.
As long as I have more information I am going to repost this issue on a new forum.
Thanks. -
How can I launch or open a pdf from the Web using Reader X?
Before I upgraded to Adobe Reader X, I could click on a file to download from the web and it would give me the option to Open, Save or Cancel. Now that I have upgraded, I only have the option to Save or Cancel. Often I would rather Open the document to see it before deciding to save it or not. Is there a Setting or Preference somewhere that will bring back the Open option? btw, I'm using Windows 7 as my OS.
ImagineThat:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is a 3rd party application, pdf-RecoverPro, that will let you lock the file to printing, changing, etc. You set two passwords, one to let the user view it and one to unlock the restricted features. Just provide the first password and send the file. You can try the demo version. It just saves one page in demo mode.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
Unable to view PDFs from the Safari browser.
I am using Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader 10.1.0, running on OS 10.6.8. Until recently I had no problem but am now unable to view PDFs from websites. What I get is a totally black document. I can create PDF files which I can also open outside of the internet. Any ideas??
There seems to be an issue with Adobes plugin and Safari 5, your options are:
Wait for it to be updated.
Uninstall the plugin nd let Quicktime handle it.

Unable to see pdf from a web browser on a android tablet
I recently brought the toshiba tablet to use for uni. Uni puts pdfs on the web site (lecture notes) when i click into the pdf on my tablet it opens to a blank screen. I was wondering if it was my adobe reader and if so how do i change this so i can see the pdfs ?? I have tried other browser an they do the same thing..
This sounds like a great feature. Taking a picture and uploading to a printing service. On a computer, you normally get a "Finder" that lets you traverse your hard drive for files to upload. Since the iPhone is OSX you would think you could do that. But if not, it would be cool if you could select you photos to upload them, but then only uploading photos would work, so if you found a site that would let you upload a file (not a picture) it wouldn't work. Another application, say you are on vacation. You take some pictures and want to put them on a website. Of course then you would need to be able to upload files (html), etc. Oh well.
