Viewing language property on PDF document (508 compliance)

I'm currently working on a content management system that produces some PDF files to be published to external web sites. These PDF files have to be 508 compliant and one of the requirements listed by the user group is to have a Language set on the document.   Using iText I'm setting the language property to the corresponding locale and I can see the value set on an editable dropdown on my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, so far so good. Problem is, I cannot see the language code value when viewing properties on any given document on Adobe Reader.
I checked the Adobe Reader 508 compliance overview document and there is no mention of document properties such as language so I'm guessing language does not get displayed on Adobe Reader?  It isn't obvious to me why showing the language code value on the document properties would be an accessibility requirement but I just need to double check.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem-I have several papers due by Friday and so
far this is my only hang up!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    hello prgc37, you original problem was likely caused by a fault extension that you have installed. can you try to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] and see if this can address the issue...
    otherwise such connection issues are also often caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

  • Change language of a pdf document

    i download a pdf document and it is in french , does anyone know if i can change it in english?
    is possible?
    thanks

    Bausch,
    There are a few issues here. First, I can't find a simple way to get text from a PDF with Automator. There are some scripts that could be used to do this, I'm sure. But if it's just one PDF you want to translate, double click on the PDF to open it in Preview, Apple-A to select all text, Apple-C to copy it. Open a new TexteditDoc, Apple-V to paste. Save the document.
    Apple has created a translator action, but I've had no luck in getting it to work:
    http://www.automatorworld.com/archives/translate-text/
    Download it and import the action into Automator. Your workflow would be:
    Get Selected Finder Items (Choose the TextEdit Doc with the pasted text in it.)
    Open Selected Finder Items
    Get Contents of TextEdit Document
    Translate Text (This will be in the TextEdit Library. Set to French>English or )
    New TextEdit Document
    No guarantees this will work, but it's worth a try. It it were, you could set another translate action to English>Spanish, but I think a lot would be lost in translation.

  • Magnifiable Images in a PDF document?

    I'm viewing a 3-page PDF document received from elsewhere, using Acrobat 7.0 Standard on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. The document contains 4 figures. When I run the pointer (the "hand") over 2 of these images, a short horizontal bar with a short arrow pointing downward from it appears inside the hand. Clicking once significantly magnifies the size of the image, up to full screen or full window width. What happens with further clicks is a bit confusing, but there is no further magnification, and eventually a demagnification back to the initial size.
    Nothing like this happens with the other two figures, and nothing like this happens if I view the document in Mac Preview. Only limited information on how this PDF document was created is available, except that maybe PowerPoint was involved at some stage.
    Any ideas as to what's going on here?
    Thanks for any info.

    The Acrobat Standard manual speaks of Articles as being comprised of _text_; the objects in the PDF document that magnify when clicked are _images_. The first such image is about half a page wide, and has text wrapped around it on the left; the second image is full page width and thus does not have text wrapped around it. Both magnify when clicked -- but, there is also a somewhat confusing Article-like behavior in which subsequent clicks on the first image eventually end up opening the second image.
    However, when I open the View >> Navigation Tabs >> Articles menu item for the document in question, NO Articles are shown in the resulting Articles window.
    I'm beginning to think there may be some residual coding associated with the images, or in the PDF file, that somehow triggers garbled Article-related responses that were not intentionally or properly inserted into the file . . . ???

  • How to find all bookmarked PDF documents in Preview in Mavericks?

    Hi there,
      the problem is that before upgrading to Mavericks I could view all my bookmarked PDF documents just via menu bar in Preview, but now in Mavericks I have no idea how to manage this bookmarked documents - I can see bookmarks only after opening these PDF files which have been bookmarked. Just imagine that you have thousands of documents of which only a couple have been bookmarked for later reading - as I can see the only way to find these documents in Maverick is to open documents one by one and see whether they have bookmarks or not... Is there any way to bypass this painful procedure?
    Thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,
    Alex

    I tried this and it works as you describe, but not all Hypercard documents appear to have the same content type, as described by Terminal.
    The first Hypercard stack I tried came up with the content type:
    dyn.ah62d4rv4ge8xe6u
    The search only found the one result with this type (the same stack).
    Then I tried using the Hypercard "Home" stack (a pretty central stack to Hypercard's functioning), and it had a content type:
    dyn.ah62d4rv4gk8zgzcbmq
    (note the type is longer with a different ending; only the first 14 characters are identical to the first stack).
    This search found 317 items, which is likely most of my Hypercard documents, so this is some progress.
    Unfortunately I know that since the first stack I tried had a different content type, there may be other Hypercard stacks on my hard drive with yet a different content type, not caught by these searches.
    I then tried a wildcard, thinking that if only the first 14 characters of the content type are identical, I focus my search on those characters only, using asterisk as a wildcard at the end. So I searched for:
    dyn.ah62d4rv4g*
    The result was 526 hits, including many documents that are not Hypercard. So this doesn't help.
    It appears that the content type is not exactly specific to a the File Type or Creator Code, so while I can find many of a particular document, this method cannot find all of one type of document.
    I tried searching using raw query by the Terminal-reported File Type Code (kMDItemFSTypeCode= "STAK"), but this revealed no items.
    Perhaps I should suggest this to Apple as a bug fix for Leopard, to restore the ability to search by Type Code or Creator Code as a choice in the OS Find service? I know these codes are no longer relied on as much as they used to be, since now the OS uses extension as much as anything else, but there is lots of older software that still run in Leopard that use Type and Creator codes. And Apple still recommends registering the creator code of any new software.
    Thank you!

  • Adobe Presenter 8 and 508 Compliance

    So I am in the middle of work for the US government. The output needs to be 508 compliant to meet Federal regulations. I have been building projects in Presenter 7 and using workarounds to achieve 508 compliance (e.g. printed script/handout in PDF). I have been informed that from here on out, no workarounds will be accepted -the presentation MUST be 508 compliant in the manner that they test. With that in mind, has Presenter 8 improved the accessibility of its output files compared to Presenter 7? JAWS compatibiilty, in particular, is what I need to know. The folks doing my 508 testing use JAWS and it always raises flags with Presenter output.
    Before I drop the money to get the latest version of Presenter, I am wondering if things have improved or if I should be looking at another solution?

    Hi Mukul,
    Thanks for the prompt reply!
    My compliancy checker sent me the following notes (unfortunately, not as specific as I would like):
    html version:
    Videos need running timer bar.
    Slides just stop; no indication that you need to select "next slide" in the menu.
    Not all slides are read by JAWS; rather, it reads around the slide like it isn't there – check coding.
    All charts and graphics need alt-tags.
    and for the PDF version:
    508 Compliancy &JAWS:
    JAWS needs to be able to see a flash file, whether it is in a webpage , within a .pdf, or self contained.  The flash movie needs to be “described”   Within Adobe Flash Professional there is an option and the ability to access the “Accessibility Panel.”  But this Digging Deeper Demo.PDF  was developed within Adobe Presenter, and I have yet to create a project with this tool, so I am unsure there is the same “Accessibility Panel.”  If there is not, I would imagine there is something similar to ensure the flash portion of the .PDF is seen by JAWS or any screen reader.

  • How to combine pdf pages into a single pdf document

    I´ve done this before but I forgot. Can anyone help me?

    Hi profesora.2014.2015,
    Adobe Reader is a free trusted standard for reliably viewing, printing, and annotating PDF documents. It’s the only PDF file viewer that can open and interact with all types of PDF content, including forms and multimedia.
    In order to combine PDF pages into a single PDF file, you need to either use Adobe Acrobat (Merging and combining PDF files | Acrobat XI - Adobe India) or Adobe PDF pack (Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack).

  • Send - "Page by Email" disabled for PDF document in IE

    Hi,
    We're currently running 10g reports, through 10g Application Server (Forms&Reports) and producing PDF documents that are displayed in Internet Explorer.
    When viewing the report output the send "Page by Email" function is disabled. My outlook works fine and I've checked that my Email client is set to outlook in IE program settings.
    Anyone have any ideas on what I need to do to enable the "Page by Email" function?
    Note: I've also noticed that the View -> Source function is disabled.
    Thanks,
    Graeme

    Oh, before I forget View -> Source for a PDF document being disabled makes sence because its not a HTML document. PDF documents are viewable via a browser only with that to the downloadable pluggable com object that adobe (and other pdf reader software providers) provides us with.
    Cheers

    Hi,
    One quick question, where have you stored the PDF? is it in MIMEs folder ?
    You have 1 of these 2 options to choose:
    1. Get the PDF data in Byte format, fetch the absolute URL and display it in an iFrame UI Element.
    2. Set the property of Adobe Interactive form UI elemets property -
        mode = usePDF Mode (This mode value does not change the original PDF document. The data source and the template for the creation of the PDF document are ignored)
        pdfSource = Path to the context element containing the PDF document.

  • Can't view PDF documents

    I downloaded Acrobat 9. When I open PDF documents from my email the content looks like an unrecognized language, gibrish. However the same file can be opened and viewed if I open it as "open as a web page'. What is the solution?
    yoram. 

    Dear Bill,
    Thank you. I wiill try to describe the problem in details.
    I am writing this email from my laptop (DELL XPS M1300 with Window Vista) that I have for 3 years has Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 that works without problems for several years.
    I attached an article to this email, in PDF, as an example.
    When I double click on the attachment in an email I received the "file download" appear with options for open, save, and cancel, and above it under Type: Adobe Acrobat Reader 378KB . The same thing occur when I right click on it and then press open. when I press open the article is downloaded and openned as PDF file.
    In the new computer (HP Touchsmart 600 with Window 7) I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader 9. When I left doubleclick on "open" for the same attachment I received from the same email a window internet explorer box appear that says "unable to download attachment .ashx from owa.med.wayne.edu unable to open this internet site The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. When I right click on the attachment and then left click open the "file download" appear with options for open, save, and cancel, and above it under Type: PDF-auto-file,378KB (not Adobe Acrobat Reader 378KB) . When I click open the attachment is downloaded and openned. The content is giberich, not understood. When I left doubleclick on the portion "open as web page" of the attachment the article is downloaded and openned, but not in PDF format.
    I do not believe that the problem is related to the internet provider or the email provider.
    What do you suggest?
    yoram.

  • 508 compliant PDF document

    I converted a Word Document to a PDF and ran the Full Accessibility checker on it.  19 instances of images without alt tags came up but when I click to see the images, they are random blue boxes placed throughout the PDF, and they are not in the Word doc.  I try to click on them to delete or add an alt tag and they are not clickable. I've made about 100 documents 508 compliant without running into this problem.  How do I delete the blue boxes?

    Hi Jennifer,
    There are a couple of things you could do. One is to assign the little blue squares alternate text, but if you want to clean up the document (which is what I do when I get this) the other thing to do is to delete the square and the corresponding tag.
    To delete the square:
    Select the View > Toolbars > Advanced Editing menu item
    Select the TouchUp Object tool on the Advanced Editing toolbar (it's the pencil over the white square icon)
    Select each item from the accessibility report
    Right mouse click on the blue square and then select Delete from the pop-up menu
    Repeat this process for all 19 blue squares
    Now you got a new problem, there are 19 tags without any associated content. If you re-run the Accessibility check you can then find the superfluous tags. If are not not viewing the Tags panel you can access it from the View > Navigation Panels > Tags menu item.
    I hope this helps,
    Steve

  • Accessibile PDF generated by SSRS - 508 compliance

    Does anyone know if there is any possible release or a version of SSRS that will be able to generate PDF that is accessible/508 compliant (such as alt tag for images in PDF...)?

    Hi Caudu,
    Based on my research, there are some VPAT documents describing how the accessibility features of Microsoft products help federal agencies address the requirements of Section 508 Standards. Here is the link:

  • When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

    When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

    When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that.  Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
    It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

  • SharePoint 2013 cannot view PDF documents in mobile browser with office web apps

    Hi,
    I'm receiving the following error when viewing SharePoint 2013 PDF documents in a mobile browser after clicking on the filename:
    "Viewing of .pdf files has been disabled in Microsoft Word Mobile Viewer. Please get in touch with your helpdesk."
    My Question
    Is viewing PDF documents in mobile browsers with Office Web Apps SP1 actually supported?  If so, how can I enable it?  I've already have pdf viewing working in non-mobile browsers. Word documents open just fine on mobile browsers too.
    I'm getting conflicting answers for pdf mobile viewing support from various sources:
    You've got Microsoft toting that they've added in PDF viewing on any device for Office Web Apps
    http://blogs.office.com/2013/07/03/pdfs-in-the-word-web-app/
    A MS support person saying saying it is not supported
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_web_apps_server_2013_support_blog/archive/2013/12/31/enabling-pdf-previews-in-document-libraries-with-office-web-apps-2013-in-sharepoint-2013-open-link-does-not-work-from-preview.aspx
    Another person implying that it should work because you can disable pdf browsing for mobile browsers only
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2013/07/24/control-whether-pdfs-open-in-word-web-app-or-the-default-pdf-reader.aspx
    What I've tried
    When I started looking into this there was a mobile WOPI entry:
    Application     : WordPdf
    Extension       : PDF
    ProgId          :
    Action          : mobileView
    IsDefaultAction : False
    ServerName      : 20SP8
    WopiZone        : internal-http
    I tried experimenting with tweaking this binding by changing the DefaultAction to true, and even removing it altogether via:
    Get-SPWopiBinding -Action "MobileView" -Application "WordPDF" | Remove-SPWopiBinding -Confirm:$false
    But I still get the same message.
    I removed all the WordPdf bindings and re-added them via:
    New-SPWOPIBinding –ServerName "<myserver>" –Application "WordPDF" -AllowHTTP
    No dice.  In fact the mobileview binding doesn't even come back... but I guess that is a different issue altogether.
    Version
    SharePoint 2013 (SP1)
    Office Web Apps Server (SP1)
    Farm Setup
    Internal facing only
    2 front end servers, 1 app server, 1 office web apps server

    I think the PDF support, if it exists, in only in Office 365. Always remember that the Office 365 and on premises versions will never be in sync. On premise is updated using periodic service packs and Office 365 has continuous updates. (I've heard every
    10 days.)
    In my Office 365 / IE 10 tests, the PDFs open in the browser's default PDF viewer, in my case FoxIt Reader. So I can't prove one way or the other about support in Office Web Apps.
