Unreadable character with Reader 11.0.3

Co-worker complained of PDF reports showing unreadable characters using Adobe reader 11.0.03. My version 11.0.02 and my Adobe Pro displayed the report okay. I upgraded my reader to 11.0.03 and now have the same issue. It seems to apply to a single random character. Last week the report showed a lowere case 'a' as a unreadable 'squarebox'. Different report today shoed an apostrophe as the 'squarebox'. Is there a fix for version 11.0.03 for this?

Some things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Why do I get a "termination character was read" warning with VISA read and TCPIP?

I am using VISA Reads with TCPIP raw sockets without issue with NI-VISA 3.0.1 but when I moved to NI-VISA 4.4 I was getting timeout errors. The timeout errors went away when I set the termination character enable property to true (which seemed to be default in NI-VISA 3.0.1), but now I get a warning stating that the "termination character was read".
Can I disable this warning? Can I set the termination character enable to default? How can I get rid of this annoying warning?
Solved!

Hey Dagwood,
Unfortunately there isn't a way to globally change the attribute VI_ATTR_TERMCHAR_EN to VI_TRUE. I spoke with R&D about possible use of the registries and they say it's not accessible through that. To address why this change was made, the developer who made the switch isn't around anymore so I can't find his reasoning as an explanation for you. The best this for you to do in your code would be while initializing, use the VISA Property Node to make the change and until that VISA Resource is closed, this change will remain set to the value you assign. I'm sorry we cannot provide any other solution for this inconvenience. Also, if you feel this is a large burden on your programming practice you can definitely submit a product suggestion for the ability to change global default values for VISA attributes.
Thanks,

Non-unicode printing unreadable character for Thai

Hello All,
Our current system 4.7 running on Oracle datavase on Window NT server, codepage set to 8600 with supported TH and EN.
Previously, user logon as 'blank' and set character (at user setting) to 'TH', the printing of SAP documents to printer is able to print TH language.
However, there is recent 'EN' activated via I18N without the any changes to the instance profile and printer id, the printing to printer is unreadable character although we are able to read TH for table, and online document in SAP system.
Our database code page is 1100 and 8600. and the installed language are 2DE. In RSCPINTST, there are GE, EN and TH.
Is it because we have 3 languages in the RSCPINTST, and need to remove 'GE'?
May i know what would be the problem, as i have searched through the forum.
Can please advice? Thank you

Hi Claudia,
You need to verify if German language was always active on the system or if it was only recently activated in error. If it was, it needs to be removed to return you to your former configuration (provided no German data was saved to the database while active, as this data will be lost once German is removed). I would therefore presume the issue would then no longer occur.
I would assume that the issue is occuring as English was configured to use code page 8600 - i.e. when you used to logon to the system teh code page was loaded and English and Thai characters could be input. Now the German language is active, hence the system probably has 2 code pages active (8600 and 1100) and by default English is now using 1100. Hence when using English now, code page 1100 is loaded which cannot interpret Thai characters -- hence the incorrect printing.
So, it is vital to check why German is now active on the system and why it was introduced.
I hope this helps,
Regards,
Safina Hillis

I have an apple iphone 4gs... It is synced with my outlook exchange in the office. If I do a search for emails that also checks the server then all of a sudden I end up with various amounts unread email with the inbox saying "Inbox 71" ..which is not true

I have an apple iphone 4gs... It is synced with my outlook exchange in the office. If I do a search for emails that also checks the server then all of a sudden I end up with various amounts unread email with the inbox saying "Inbox 71" ..which is not true. The only way to make the inbox on the iphone back to 0 is to delete the account then re install it.
Anyone have any ideas

We need to know more about your system, please download EtreCheck and run the report and please post it on your next reply. Then we can see how your system is configured, what apps are on it and look for anything obvious. We will look forward to seeing your report.

Issues with using the output redirection character with newer NXOS versions?

Please check with new version of TFTPD 32 server. The error may be due to older version of TFPT server, the new version available solved this error. Files are getting uploaded with no issues.
1. Download tftpd32b.zip from:
http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html
2. Copy the tftpd32b.zip file into an empty directory and extract it.
3. Copy the file you want to transver into the directory containing tftpd32.exe.
4. Run tftpd32.exe from that directory. The "Base Directory" field should show the path to the directory containing the file you want to transfer.
At this point, the tftpserver is ready to begin serving files. As devices request files, the main tftpd32 window will log the requests.
Best Regards...

Problems with reading XML files with ISO-8859-1 encoding

Hi!
I try to read a RSS file. The script below works with XML files with UTF-8 encoding but not ISO-8859-1. How to fix so it work with booth?

I read files from the web, but there is a XML tag
with the encoding attribute in the RSS file.If you are quite sure that you have an encoding attribute set to ISO-8859-1 then I expect that your RSS file has non-ISO-8859-1 character though I thought all bytes -128 to 127 were valid ISO-8859-1 characters!
Many years ago I had a problem with an XML file with invalid characters. I wrote a simple filter (using FilterInputStream) that made sure that all the byes it processed were ASCII. My problem turned out to be characters with value zero which the Microsoft XML parser failed to process. It put the parser in an infinite loop!
In the filter, as each byte is read you could write out the Hex value. That way you should be able to find the offending character(s).

JS: Finding & replacing a character with a certain para style

I'm scripting an automated indd -> PDF project and I need to minimise the user input.
To this end, I want to search and replace commas in a particular cell of a table (which are the only instances of a particular para style), and replace them with forced line breaks.
The script I have for another part of the XML import looks like this:
//Search the document for the umlauts and replaces them with macrons. I
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "Ï";
app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "Ī";
myDocument.changeText();
What do I add to a similar script to make it target only content whish has a particular para style? And will it be compatible with CS4, 5 and 5.5, i.e. be agnostic to nested styles etc?
Thanks in advance,
Simon.

Use app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle:
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "my_style";
.. your snippet here ..
I bet there is a reset somewhere above your snippet:
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.changeTextPreferences = null;
and it would be safest to insert this as well below your code, or else this particular setting will "stick" and also be applied to following replaces.
This command is virtually unchanged since CS3, CS4? So far it seems to work in every version since then. But either way it's inconsequential to your nested styles, as these can only be character styles.

Inserting a special character with GREP styles

Hi.
I wanna define a GREP style that makes this: if I write Bluetooth I wanna that a registered trademark is added at the end of the word but with superscript format. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

No, GREP styles only apply formatting, they cannot insert characters. Use a regular find & change to do so.
(There is a thinking-outside-of-the-box solution. If you have access to a font creating utility, you can create a character 'h' with TM attached to it. Then you can use a GREP style to automatically apply this custom font to just the 'h' of 'Bluetooth'. See http://indesignsecrets.com/insert-a-special-character-with-grep-styles.php.)

Insert character with umlaut/accent

How do you insert a character with an accent or umlaut into Appleworks 6? This may seem like a basic question, but I can't find it in any of the drop-down menus or the 'help' section. I particularly need German characters, such as 'ö' and 'ß' (both of which I copy/pasted there, but don't want to have to do that every time!). I am used to using OpenOffice or Microsoft Word.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Inserting umlaut/accented characters is fairly straightforward; it requires an [Opt]+[key] (=press [Opt] and hit [key] while holding [Opt]), which then either produces a character of its own or modifies the immediately following key.
Some examples of such non-english characters:
- [Opt]+[s] = ß, [Opt]+[d]=ð, [Shift][Opt][k] = , etc.
Some examples of accenting:
- [Opt]+[`] followed by [key] tries to put a down-stroke accent on [key]
Ex.: [Opt]+[`][a] = à,
- [Opt]+[n] [key] tries to put a tilde on the letter [key]
Ex.: [Opt]-[n][o] = õ,
- [Opt]+[e][key] triesd to put an up-stroke accent on [key]
Ex.: [Opt]+[e][e] = é
But, instead of me trying to give you a complete listing, see if you have a little "Stars-and-stripes" icon in the right portion of your menu bar. (If not, select "System Preferences..." from the "" menu item on the far left; in its window, click on the "International" icon, and then on the "Input Menu" tab; check the "Keyboard Viewer" if it isn't already checked; close the "System Preferences" window.)
Select the "Show Keyboard Viewer" from the "Stars-and-Stripes" menu in the right portion of your menu bar, and you'll get a "live" guide to your keyboard. As you press modifier keys, the keys in the viewer change to their correspondingly modified (extended) function. So, pressing [Opt] highlights a couple of keys: these are extended modifier keys: [Opt] makes [e] into the highlighted [’] key, indicating that it attempts to put the [’]-like accent on the following letter.
Only those combinations work that exist in the font you are using; For example [Opt]+[e][s] produces "´s" since there is no [’]-accented [s] in most fonts.
This system has been with the Macintosh OS's since their inception---certainly as long as I remember it.
If you have checked, "Hungarian" in the "International/Input Menu" system preference, and then selected that in the "Stars-and-Stripes" menu as your mode of entry, the flag changes into the Hungarian flag, and your keys will produce symbols according to the Hungarian layout, regardless of what the imprint on the actual keys says. The Keyboard Viewer, of course, tells you which key does what now. Since you ask about "ß" ([Opt]+[s]) and "ö" ([Opt]+[ u] [o]), which occur in German, you may want to switch to the German keyboard layout. Of course, some keys will no longer do what their imprint says, but the "Keyboard Viewer" can always remind you of their "German" function.
Alas! The more recent, and far more capable method using UNICODE (accessible by checking the "U.S. Extended" = "Stars-and-Stripes" with a little "U" option in the "International/Input Menu" system preferences, and then selecting the "U.S. Extended" mode of input from the "Stars-and-Stripes" menu) is not supported by AppleWorks 6.2.9: it crashes if you type anything into any of the AppleWorks' modules. And, since Apple is now developing "iWork" and "iLife", AppleWorks will probably never accept UNICODE.
Hope this helps, Tristan

UNREAD MESSAGE BECOMING READ

Hi Jay/All,
We have sun one messaging server installed on a single machine setup. As a part of testing we upgrade it to 6.2 and then did the rollback. We had only two subscriber provisioned on the system. One having 3 unread and ione read message and the second having 2 unread and 0 read message. Z
After the rollback everything was working fine just that the read message became unread. Can you pl. tell us the reason for the same? has snapshot to do anything with this. we changes the staus of teh messages just before doing the rollback.
For the rollback we are using doc 819-0062.pdf from SUN. There we used both stored -r & stored -R command as a precautionary measure. Since we are running the rollback steps through script.
the output of ./imsimta version before upgrade & after rollback is:-
Sun ONE Messaging Server 6.0 (built Oct 29 2003)

Email read information is stored in the store database and on disk in the per-folder store.usr file.
This is all described here : http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4428/gebqq?a=view
For performance reasons the store.usr file on disk is not updated every-time a flag is changed - the update between the store.usr and the store database only occurs periodically during the per-user checkpoint.
If during the roll-back process you replaced the existing store database with an older version - one prior to the 'read' status having been changed by the user, AND the per-user checkpoint hadn't yet occurred, so the store.usr files also didn't contain the update... then yes I suppose read emails could become unread.
Although in the scheme of things if you had a 'disaster' large enough to justify a roll-back from 6.2 to 6.0, a few read emails becoming unread will be the least of your problems and not a huge inconvenience to the end-users.

Shane.

IFilter for Windows 7 64-bit -- does it come with Reader, or is download required?

I'm setting up a new Windows 7 (64-bit) system. Windows Indexer shows PDF file types as selected for indexing, but says "Registered IFilter is not found". I looked around and apparently PDF IFilters for 64-bit Windows used to be separately downloaded but now come with Reader (says this page: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2611). I have the latest Reader (9.3.4) installed, yet apparently Indexing can't find the IFilter.
What should I be doing to get Windows Indexing to include PDF contents?

I have not been able to get the iFilter to work on my Win7 Pro x64 laptop. The official response I got from Adobe on Sept. 21, 2010, was that it has not been tested on the Windows 7 platform. I even bought the Acrobat 9.x Standard upgrade to my version 8 and it didn't help.

Good luck,

Problem with READ Statement in the field routine of the Transformation

Hi,
I have problem with read statement with binary search in the field routine of the transformation.
read statement is working well when i was checked in the debugging mode, it's not working properly for the bulk load in the background. below are the steps i have implemented in my requirement.
1. I selected the record from the lookuo DSO into one internal table for all entried in source_packeage.
2.i have read same internal table in the field routine for each source_package entry and i am setting the flag for that field .
Code in the start routine
select source accno end_dt acctp from zcam_o11
into table it_zcam
for all entries in source_package
where source = source_package-source
     and accno = source_package-accno.
if sy-subrc = 0.
delete it_zcam where acctp <> 3.
delete it_zcam where end_dt initial.
sort it_zcam by surce accno.
endif.
field routine code:
read table it_zcam with key source = source_package-source
                                             accno = source_package-accno
                                             binary search
                                             transportin no fields.
if sy-subrc = 0.
RESULT = 'Y'.
else.
RESULT = 'N'.
endif.
this piece of code exist in the other model there its working fine.when comes to my code it's not working properly, but when i debug the transformation it's working fine for those accno.
the problem is when i do full load the code is not working properly and populating the wrong value in the RESULT field.
this field i am using in the report filter.
please let me know if anybody has the soluton or reason for this strage behaviour.
thanks,
Rahim.

i suppose the below is not the actual code. active table of dso would be /bic/azcam_o1100...
1. is the key of zcam_o11 source and accno ?
2. you need to get the sortout of if endif (see code below)
select source accno end_dt acctp from zcam_o11
into table it_zcam
for all entries in source_package
where source = source_package-source
and accno = source_package-accno.
if sy-subrc = 0.
delete it_zcam where acctp 3.
delete it_zcam where end_dt initial.
endif.
sort it_zcam by surce accno.
field routine code:
read table it_zcam with key source = source_package-source
accno = source_package-accno
binary search
transportin no fields.
if sy-subrc = 0.
RESULT = 'Y'.
else.
RESULT = 'N'.
endif.

Why is it that when I am trying to install an adobe product, I get 33% of the way through and then it gives me an error "unable to load metafile"?? It happened with Reader and now with Flashplayer. With the Reader, I was able to find a different install

Why is it that when I am trying to install an adobe product, I get 33% of the way through and then it gives me an error "unable to load metafile"?? It happened with Reader and now with Flash player. With the Reader, I was able to find a different installation link using the troubleshooting guide. I cannot find the same with flash player. Please tell me how to install Flash player because there is a website that I cannot even view without it. BTW That is annoying that I cannot even see the website without flash player

With Reader XI There was an error opening this document. Access denied

Hi there, It looks like I have a simular problem. I also get the error "There was an error opening this document. Access denied." This when I tried to open the file by clicling on the file. When I try to open the file from out Adobe reader it gives me the error "You don't have permission to open the file" I use Adobe XI. My OS is W8.1 By clearing protected mode doesn't help. This is what I found sofar: Only the PDF files in the documents and subfolders are giving me this error. PDF files in other folders are fine. When I copy PDF files from the documents folder to Desktop they open without any problem. First I thought I might be a permission problem with the Documents folder, but I have full access. Other files in the Documents folder like Word and Excel files open fine with MS Office. My laptop has WinXP and is shared with my PC when I open PDF files on my laptop by using the network share they open without problems. So it looks like only the PDF files in my Documents folder. I'm not sure but before upgrading to W8.1 from W8.0 I can't remember if I had this problem, but I think I did not have it. To make it even more interested is that I have also Adobe Acrobat Writer on my PC what I use for my buisiness. When I open the PDF files with this program they open without any problem. Therefore I believe it is not a permission problem, I still believe it is a problem with Reader XI, but than only after upgrading to W8.1, but as I already mentioned I'm not sure for 100% only that sofar I know it never happened under W8. Has anyone out there simular problems? And hopefully with a fix.

This is what I did sofar: Deleted reader XI and reinstalled same problem.
Because I think the problem is with reader XI I deleted again XI and installed reader X.
With this version I can open PDF files located in the documents folder without any problem.
For now I keep using version X until they fixed version XI
This proves that reader XI will not work under W8.1 when opening PDF files in de documents folder.

Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library. Do you want to associate them now? When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones. I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID?

Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.
