View large PDFs?

Has anyone had any luck viewing PDFs around 50mb?
I have several large files that I'd like to have on my phone.
I've tried filemagnet, but when i try to open the file it hangs up trying to open it, and the app crashes.

BTW this also happens in iBooks

  • Network Error viewing large pdf

    I'm running into problems trying to use the Adobe Reader plugin for IE to view some large PDFs in the browser window. Apparently, the PDF fails to completely download to the browser. I've seen two slightly different behaviors:
    1) When IE tries to view one of these PDFs, it will display a Loading progress bar. Usually, the progress bar will just stop before getting too far. For example: "Loading 832.5 KB/16.91MB". Attempting to view the same file again will result in similar behavior - stopping at a different place on the progress bar. Repeating this will eventually result in IE displaying a page that indicates a connection problem: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".
    2) Viewing the PDF in the browser will display the Loading progress bar, but before it completes, this message is displayed by Adobe Reader: "A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?"
    Clicking the reload button then yields this error: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem.
    Repeating the view attempt a few times eventually gives the same general IE error page described in scenario 1.
    Scenario 1 seems to occur when the request is sent to a server that is sitting behind firewalls, load balancers, etc. The second condition happens when I'm using servers in the lab where there is nothing between my client and the server, other than a switch.
    This only occurs when using HTTPS. If configure the server to use HTTP, then the PDF will always be viewed. This has restricted my ability to watch the traffic between the client and the server with a packet analyzer.
    This only occurs with the IE plugin. Using Chrome and Firefox with the Adobe Reader plugin works every time.
    It only seems to be occurring on large PDF files: the files I've been working with are all 10MB or larger.
    I tried disabling the "fast web view" option in Adobe Reader, but this didn't seem to have any effect on the problem.
    I disabled the option to display a PDF file in the browser window, and then the PDF file will be downloaded and opened properly in the Adobe Reader application. So it only happens with the PDF is displayed in the browser window.
    I've been running my tests using IE 9 (9.0.8112.16421) and Reader plugin 10.1.3, but I've had reports from customers of similar behavior from earlier versions of the browser and reader. The web server is IIS 7.
    I found several PDFs on the internet with which I've duplicated the problem. Here's an example PDF file that shows this problem.
    http://www.nbb.be/DOC/BA/PDF7MB/2010/201009400082_2.PDF
    There are many other similar sized files at this site:
    http://www.nbb.be/pub/03_00_00_00_00/03_02_00_00_00/03_02_04_00_00.htm?l=en
    many of which will also reproduce the error. However, because the problem only happens when going over HTTPS, I had to download the files and import them into my system which uses HTTPS to see the problem.
    Any help would be appreciated. I'm not sure what to look at next.

    There are several resources that show how this is done. See here for an example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/46c5ddfy(v=vs.100).aspx
    I've added an entry into web.config to identify the presence of a custom handler:
    <system.webServer>
      <handlers>
        <add name="PDFHandler" verb="*" path="*.pdf" type="PDFHttpHandler" />
      </handlers>
    </system.webServer>
    Then in our application code I defined a new class :
    Public Class PDFHttpHandler
    Implements IHttpHandler
    Public ReadOnly Property IsReusable() As Boolean Implements System.Web.IHttpHandler.IsReusable
      Get
        Return False
      End Get
    End Property
    Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements System.Web.IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
      Select Case context.Request.HttpMethod
        Case "GET"
          If file.exists(context.Server.MapPath(context.Request.FilePath)) Then
            Dim requestedFile As String = context.Server.MapPath(context.Request.FilePath)
            SendContentTypeAndFile(context, requestedFile)
          Else
            context.response.statuscode = 404
          End If
        Case Else
          context.response.statuscode = 404
      End Select
    End Sub
    Private Function SendContentTypeAndFile(ByVal context As HttpContext, ByVal strFile As String) As HttpContext
              context.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
              context.Response.AppendHeader("Accept-Ranges","none")
              ' The web.config file sets the "x-ua-compatible" header to "ie=edge". This has an unfortunate side
              ' effect of casuing problems when we use IE to view PDF files.
              ' So for PDF files, we will try to override that header value.
              context.Response.AppendHeader("X-UA-Compatible", "")
      context.Response.TransmitFile(strFile)
      context.Response.end()
      Return context
    End Function
    End Class

  • Preview freezing when viewing large PDF

    Since updating to Yosemite, I have found that when I open a large (book-sized) PDF using Preview, a couple of odd things happen. First, the book opens to the very last page, instead of the first. Then, when I try to scroll back (using any method — I've tried them all) through the book, action inside the app immediately freezes. However, it does not CRASH to the extent that a notification is generated that may be sent to Apple, so I have no reason to believe that Apple is aware of this issue. (Preview isn't even one of the Apple Software application options here in the help center or the public forums.)
    A) Has anyone else experienced this? Have you found a solution?
    B) Is there a way to communicate with Apple to tell them about these things if a notification is not created by the OS itself?
    Thanks.

    Same problem--on my mid 2011 MBP but NOT my mid 2010 iMac. It seems like Preview tries to open ALL PDFs--thousands of pages--and gets the spinning beachball. Force Quit shows that it is not responding. I've tried deleting preference files (com.apple.preview), but no luck. The problem has highlighted how much I actually use preview--and left me pretty annoyed!

  • How To View Large PDF Reports Output?

    Hi all,
    EBS 11i
    We run a request with date from 01-JAN-11 to 31-JAN-11 in transaction register .
    The request status is Completed.
    Upon clicking the ‘View Output’ to export the file in PDF format, we encountered error. It seems the file is corrupted? or just to big to open?
    Already tried increasing the Cache memory of Firefox to be able to view some requests but cannot view if the file is more than some size.
    I also tried saving the report to PDF file (viewing it on Adobe Reader not on Firefox), same result.
    Are there other application other than Adobe Acrobat Reader to view PDF file formats?
    How can I resolve this issue please.
    Thanks

    How do I download the pdf file? Do I need to login to the linux server applmgr id? Or it is available via apps webpage.From the server as applmgr user, under $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT directory -- o<request id>.out format.
    Have you reviewed the docs referenced above?
    Thanks,
    Hussein

  • Viewing large PDF files over Ethernet

    maybe it'ts not the right forum, but users handling big PDF files might have a tipp.
    My PDF files are about 180 MB big and about 30 pages long, consisting highres images. The scrolling throug the document takes ages. I do have a fast Windows 2003 server connetect over 1GB ethernet to my XP workstation.  When I copy the PDF file to the workstation it works fine.
    Is there a trick to get some kind of caching the open filestream during scrolling?
    I use Acrobat 7.1.0.
    thank you

  • Preview crashes when viewing (clicking) large pdfs

    I have a problem viewing large pdfs in Preview (and any other PDF-reader. Same problem with Skim, Adobe Reader, PDFpen). The problem comes when I first click inside of the pdf, to select text for example. If I'm just viewing the pdf passively it scrolls smoothly, but as soon as I click inside of the pdf the app freezes, becomes unresponsive, and I have to force quit. When this freezing happens, Preview uses >2 gb of RAM.
    The freezing when clicking inside of the pdf happens in small pdfs also, but only for 1-5 seconds and only the first time I click in it. When I have clicked/selected text for the first time in any pdf that is not too large, the clicks after that are completely smooth.
    I have tried repaired disk permissions and deleting the com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist etc. in my Library/Preferences folder.

  • Large PDF Not Loading in IE over HTTPS

    Hello,
    I am currently experiencing an issue viewing large PDF files using the Adobe Acrobat plugin for Internet Explorer over an HTTPS connection.  After clicking on a link to a large PDF in Internet Explorer, the browser attempts to open the PDF using the Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin.  Partially through loading the PDF the browser plugin hangs and the PDF is not displayed.  The closest article I have found on the issue is on the following community thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1019479.  Are there any additional options to resolve this issue other than what is listed in the referenced thread?  Does Adobe have any plans to address this issue in a future release of the plugin?  Forcing a download of the file verus viewing in the browser is currently not an option for me.
    Thanks in advance!

    has anybody come across this issue and found a solution?
    My research found this test to try:
    <HTML>
    <BODY>
    <INPUT type=button onclick=loadmyxml() value="Load XML">
    <SCRIPT>
    function loadmyxml()
    var XMLObj = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
    XMLObj.async = false;
    XMLObj.load('gallery.xml');
    if (XMLObj.parseError.errorCode != 0)
    alert("Error loading XML file : " + XMLObj.parseError.reason);
    else
    alert (XMLObj.xml);
    document.write(XMLObj.xml);
    </script>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    (and it works!). It pulls in the raw XML data.  But it's static and not what I need it to do. So now i'm not sure if it's specific to Spry or if it's XML in general.
    My page works fine in IE (pulls in dynamic Spry XML content) but ONLY when on HTTP server.... move to HTTPS and it doesn't work anymore.
    Problem is only in IE, and ONLY when on a secure server.

  • Unable to open large pdf files..

    I'm holding an E61 pda-phone. I downloaded acrobat reader v1.5. However, i still unable to view large pdf files, anyone pls advise... Thks

    My guess is you're running out of memory when you load the file: is it bigger than the memory the phone has available before you try to open it?
    You may be able to get around the problem by reducing the amount of phone memory in use: close any other applications you have running and move non-system files (documents, music, photos) from phone memory to card memory.

  • I want to save large pdf files from my computer to my iPad so I can view them in Adobe Reader.

    I want to save large pdf files from my computer to my iPad so I can view them in Adobe Reader. I do not want to view them in iBooks or Quickoffice. Since I cannot email these large files, how can I get them on my iPad? Thanks for your help.

    I think that Adobe reader supports file sharing.
    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under "devices". Click on the Apps Tab in the window on the right. Scroll down to the File Sharing Apps list under the main apps list. Click on Adobe Reader. Drag the documents into the file sharing window on the right or select them using the "add" button.
    Launch the Adobe reader app and the files should be in there.

  • Problems viewing large tif files in preview

    i'm having trouble viewing large tif files in preview. the tif files are on a cdrom - when i click on the file to open it, it opens only the first 250 pages of the file. the file has approximately 3,000 pages. how can i get preview to open the rest of the pages?
    thanks for any suggestions.
    mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    no trick - i didn't create the cdrom but it only has 3 tif files with approximately 3000 pages each, not 3000 large tif files. plus several smaller pdf files, but those aren't giving me any problems.
    i don't know whether they're compressed, but i still can't get more than the first 250 pages to open, even after copying the file to my desktop. if anyone has any other ideas, i'd much appreciate it.

  • Problems viewing Combined PDF's in Preview

    I work primarily in Photoshop CS5.  All of my work is created there.  My problem arises when creating and viewing compressed PDF's using "Preview" on Macintosh.  The text is very funky.  But as expected, Acrobat itself displays all files flawlessly.  My PDF creation flow is as follows. 
    1.  Save Photoshop Document(s) to individual Photoshop PDF's, without layers so I keep only one image and my vector data. (I always resize and save my documents appropiately for their intended use.  I keep all file sizes to a minimum when creating a document for email use.)
    2.  Using Acrobat, I combine/merge my files, selecting the appropriate compression method for its intended use (Small, Medium, Large)
    When I use the Medium compression in Acrobat, I encounter no problems through "Preview".  All of my text appears as it should.  Works great, but I'm left with a 26MB file.
    When I use the Small compression in Acrobat (suggested for email) I have all kinds of problems with my text in "Preview".  I would love to use this option as my files sizes are half of what they are at Medium compression.
    I know that "Preview" is not a replacement for Acrobat, but Mac's default application for opening PDF's is "Preview", and many of the users that I deal with are not equiped with any Adobe software.  Is there a fix?  What is Acrobat discarding when it compresses the file for emailing?
    I might add that the small version that is not displaying the text, still contains the text (I'm able to select it), it's just not visible.

    The problem isn't with what Acrobat is discarding, but what Mac Preview is doing with the data available. The problem is with Preview. You cannot make a silk purse with a sow's ear. If Preview is doing a terrible job rendering a perfectly fine pdf, that Reader displays appropriately, there is nothing Adobe can do.

  • Exporting large PDF document in inDesign

    I'm exporting a large file (3m in length x 1.2m in width) in inDesign to PDF for print and the document just will not save, or if it does, only half the document actually saves. Help please!

    I don't think so. A PDF can have several hundrets of miles now.

    Your file may be larger than the maximum dimensions for a PDF (not sure what they are, currently). Try working at half-size in ID and see if it makes a difference.

  • Cannot see text in large PDF file

    Hi all,
    I've searched Google and these forums, but I have yet to find anything relating to my issue.
    I'm trying to view a PDF file, but I cannot see any text in Adobe Reader.
    I've viewed it w/ the FoxIt reader, and I can see all text there.
    Any idea as to what the problem w/ Adobe reader is?
    I have the most up-to-date version of the reader.
    Thanks in advance.

    Enable the entry 'Show large images' in the preferences of Adobe Reader.

    But generally it is never a good idea to send e-documents as email attachments.  Better use a file sharing service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, ..), upload the document, then send the shared download link via email.

  • Reading large PDFs

    Hey everyone.
    I'm trying to read a few rather large PDFs on my iPhone using FileMagnet, but after I get past page 6 or 7, FileMagnet informs me that there isn't enough memory to load the rest of the file.
    What can I do to view this, and other large PDFs, in my phone?

    There are more than one PDF reader available. Try the free Adobe Reader first. I'm giving you instructions for Reader, but it would be the same for another paid reader like PDF Expert, my favorite, $US 9.99:
    Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer and go to iTunes. Select the device at the upper right:
    Once you've selected the device, click the Apps tab.
    But you need to scroll down to File Sharing below where you'll see a list of your apps and their data files. Select Adobe Reader (or the other PDF reader you're using).
    This shows all the PDF files and folders currently in your app. To add a new, large app, click the Add... button at the bottom and select it for your computer.
    Then click the Sync button to sync it to your device. It will appear in your app.
    There are other ways of getting (smaller) PDFs to your PDF reader: You can open them from an email or a browser, or transfer them through a service like Dropbox.
    When you download the current version of Adobe Reader 11.2, go to Help to look at a manual which explains other ways of transferring files.
    Good luck.
