Unable to view PDF (baggage file) in CHM

Hi,
I have recently started using a new desktop pc running Windows 7. I am now unable to view PDF files (added as baggage files in RoboHelp) in the CHMs generated by RoboHelp. Even existing CHMs (generated before switching desktops) have this problem. Has anyone experienced the same problem and managed to solve it?
Sofie

A while back someone told me they had a similar problem with IE8 and advised they fixed as below:
"After fiddling around with some settings, I found that if you go to Settings/Safety and enable Active X Filtering, the embedded files open normally."
That will only fix it on your machine though. Do these CHMs work on other machines OK?

  • Unable to view PDF files in Infoview

    I am unable to view pdf files in InfoView (Business Objects Edge Series XI 3.0)
    When I select the pdf file from Infoview, I receive the message 'Do you want to save this file' which only allows me to save the document to a location on my computer.
    Other users can view the file in Infoview, so it probably relates to a setting on my computer.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I've had a little look on Adobe's knowledge base; try this to check whether the issue is related with opening PDF in your browser in general:
    "Determine if the web browser can open the PDF file from your local hard drive rather than from the web:
    In the web browser, choose File > Open (or Open File).
    Choose All Files from the Files Of Type pop-up menu (Windows)
    Click Browse
    Select the PDF file you saved in step 1 of task 5, and then click Open to open the PDF file. If Acrobat or Adobe Reader displays the file, but won't display it on the web, the web server has a problem serving the PDF file. Contact the webmaster of the site from which you downloaded the PDF file."
    If so, try the troubleshooting steps mentioned here:

  • Unable to view pdf files in IE 11.

    Unable to view PDF files in IE 11, Winows 7. Works fine in Google Chrome on same pc. Everything is up todate.

    See the solution at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529
    However, that Fix-it won't work on Windows 7; you will need to make the registry change manually.  Download, unzip, then run the attached registry script to change that registry value.

    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.

  • Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2-initially thought to be a user/OS issue

    Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2.  I initially thought this was a user / OS issue when I created a document for someone who is new to a MAC laptop.  She could not view the document through email.  Unfortunately, I began seeing the same error in my own document folders when searching for another document showing as icons instead of a list.  I can open the file without a problem although I see the error she sees only while viewing the icons in my folder.  I am using a Windows 7 PC. Now, I also know that if the document is downloaded, it can be viewed.
    Other notes:
    If trying to access the form via the internet, the same error is seen through Chrome, Firefox, and Mozilla but NOT through IE
    Everyone seems to have the latest or a very recent READER
    The form is compatible with Reader versions 7 and up
    Again, downloading from the internet to the computer appears to allow the file to open properly
    Document cannot be viewed on the Galaxy Tab 2 via Chrome or the pre-installed Internet Browser, nor can it be viewed through the Reader after download to tablet. I did not try on an Apple iPad.
    All parties involved are up-to-date with virus protection.
    Below is a link to the exact message received when trying to open the document.

    You're on to something KJ!  Yes the form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES2 which came bundled with my Adobe X Pro.  I began creating a new form yesterday and found that I could not preview the form, rendering this same "error" instead.  I ran a repair on my Adobe and at first it seemed to fix the issue but after making some changes to the form I tried to preview again and couldn't.  Here is what I get when I try to preview my forms in Designer ES2: 
    When I click the OK button, it then gives me that single static page as mentioned above in previous posts.
    I searched Adobe yesterday trying to figure out how I could repair the LiveCycle Designer or if there was some sort of patch that I haven't gotten but was not able to find anything.
    (Sorry for the delay in response, I've been on vacation.)

    Sorry, this is a user to user forum and we're just customers who help out when we can, so things don't always happen right away.
    Reader, Regardless of OS or device, is as the name implies, only a Reader.  There are different mail settings between Mac Mail Outlook and Thunderbird as well as Andsroid's mail app, whose name escpoaes me.
    Have you checked in the Live Cycle Forum? There are people there with FAR more experience using LC developed forms. It's part of my Creative Suite, but I've never even opened it myself.

  • Linked PDF Baggage File

    Hello,
    I am using RoboHelp 9 to create chm files on a Windows 7 machine.  I have several pdf baggage files in my project that I link to.  All works well, except everytime I click on a link to a pdf I get a File download security dialog to Open or Save the file. 
    Is there a way to just have it open the file or is this controlled by Windows security?  I can open pdf files on my machine without any dialog box appearring when using Windows Explorer. 
    We would rather not have users making copies of the pdf files if they choose Save.
    Thanks
    John

    Is this on a machine with IE9 installed? If so see announcement 3 at http://forums.adobe.com/community/robohelp/robohelp_html

  • 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.
    Install Schuberts PDF plugin from http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/

  • Force PDF baggage file to open in Adobe Reader?

    Hello, I develop WebHelp using RH10 and have noticed that in my published output, linked PDF baggage files launch in the users' browser window rather than in Adobe Reader. Is this something I can control?
    This seems to be the case no matter how I set the options in the Hyperlink Properties dialog (Page Default, New Window. etc).
    Thanks,

  • "Unable to find Pdf Resource files"

    I am getting an error message on start up in Windows XP after a recent update. On start up I get the mesaage "Unable to find Pdf Resource files" C:\Documents and Settings\......\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\*.Joboptions
    Do you want to run the installer in repair mode.
    I have seen several fixes for similar problems but nothing relating to the error occurring at start up.
    I would be grateful if you could suggest a solution. I have reinstalled Adobe Pro V8 and the error is still there

    In the default settings, it shows "Standard". Try going to the menu above labelled settings and you will likely see an edit options selection. See if you can edit the selection. You can also try selecting other settings with the arrow at the right side of the settings selection (It is a select box) to see if other files are available. You should also be able to see the settings file in the printer properties and be able to edit it also. Trying these games may home in on the problem, particularly if it indicates you do not have access.
    Just as a check, open an application that you might like to print to PDF. Then go to the print menu and select print-to-file with the Adobe PDF printer. Once you have that file printed, open it in Distiller and see if you get the proper processing. This manual process is the most basic of the PDF creation processes in Acrobat. All of the other processes build on it. Thus we are checking basic functionality to be sure I did not miss something as we went along.
    If the print-to-file works out to give you a PDF, then try printing to the printer without that option selected and hopefully the PDF is created directly (no manual step with Distiller). Each of the next steps would go up the chain in the checkout.
