Want a warning when a pdf doc is open by another user
We have a pdf doc on the network that we need staff to review, sign and comment on.
Problem is when a second user opens the document, there is no warning to say already open by another user. So only one user can save their changes and the others are lost.
Can we get it to give a warning like word and excel do when the document is open by another user?
No. You should deny the users write access to the file, forcing them to save it locally or under a different name.

Cannot print a pdf file when the pdf file is opened in another window
Running FF8.0 I cannot print a pdf file when the file is contained in a separate window opened by the appl (not just another tab). Options -> options -> applications all point to Use Adobe Applications in Firefox. I've had this problem in 7.0, 6.0, etc but I believe I was finally able to print these external browser/adobe windows somehow. Printing a pdf file shouldn't be that tough. When I run into this situation, file can be printed from the external window by IE.
Check the document properties (Security) for this file in Adobe Reader; perhaps printing is not allowed?

Adobe Pro XI - using Windows 7 Pro OS
When a PDF document is opened from Windows Explorer, and pages are added, deleted, notations made, any type of changes, it cannot be saved until Windows Explorer is fully closed. If you try to save the document, you receive the following error - "The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it opened. Please save the document with a different name or in a differnt folder. " I have confirmed the document is not read only, it is not open by another user, and it is not open multiple times. Once you fully close Windows Explorer, and try to save the document, it saves without a problem.
Are there settings in either Adobe Pro XI or Windows that will allow you to save documents without closing Windows Explorer first?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide. This error is a frustration since I open all my documents through Windows Explorer.[discussion moved to Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs forum]

The scroll function from the pad/mouse does not work for the other tabs when a PDF file is opened.
Hi NSHS,
Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? You should take a look at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article. There is a lot of good information in there. You should try both of the suggested PDF add-ons to see if that fixes the issue.
Hopefully this helps! -
I purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard V11 on one user account on one pc.
I want to remove this software and re-install it on another user account on the same pc.
Will this use an extra licence?
I understand this product comes with 2 licences but am hoping to retain the extra for another pc.My experience (limited) has been to expect it to be installed automatically for all users.
What seems to be missing on the new user account? -

ColdFusion 8 drops Arabic characters when generating PDF doc
Hello All,
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong here! I have trouble with generating a PDF document from ColdFusion.
The cfm document contains mixed English and Arabic text and it seems that the ColdFusion's embedded PDF Generator drops Arabic characters when creating the PDF file.
I attached a bare bone cfm document (see print_test.cfm) that I used as an example to the stated problem.
The document:
displays fine in FireFox 3.0.10 (see attached print_test_screenshot.jpg) Used link:
http://localhost:8500/Print_test.cfm?display=yes
This image file also shows the characters that get dropped by the ColdFusion's embedded PDF Generator.
is converted fine in PDF by the FireFox 3.0.10 using print command line (see attached print_test_firefox.pdf) Used command:
“C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -print "http://localhost:8500/Print_test.cfm?display=yes" -printmode pdf -printfile "c:\pdf\print_test_firefox.pdf" -printdelay 150
is NOT converted to PDF properly by the ColdFusion using the embedded PDF generator (see attached print_test_cf.pdf) Used command: http://localhost:8500/Print_test.cfm
The print_test.cfm file, which I had to remove since this forum allows me to post only 3 attachments, has the following content:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Thank you all for your help,
Adrian"I suppose you did it through the cfdocument tag in a cfm document". nope i used
the iText library (the one that ships w/cf) directly in cf to see where the
problem actually was. i don't think this is something you want to do?
i reported this as a bug to adobe, you can help get something done by adding
your own bug report here:

Firefox doesn't include PDF extension when saving pdf doc
Problem .. FireFox strips PDF file extension from file name when application option "Portable Document Format (PDF)" is set to "Save File" and when downloading a Fidelity Investment's statement or trade confirmation pdf document.
When I attempt to download and save without previewing a PDF doc on Fidelity Investment website, Firefox does not save the file with the PDF extension. Which results in the file loosing its association with its appropriate viewing app.
However if the firefox \tools\options\applications\"Portable Document Format (PDF)" is changed to either "Always Ask" or "Preview in Firefox" the problem doesn't occur.
Or if the user right clicks the PDF link on the source html page and selects "save link as" the dialog box will ask to save the doc as a PDF and correctly add the PDF extension to the saved file name.
This problem occurs with firefox 28.0 for windows and firefox 28.01 for android.
The problem doesn't appear to occur with chrome or IE. However they don't offer a means to do a single click save.Yes I noted that method works already..
I was trying to get the "single click save" to function as designed. -
I work for an auditing firm and we have recently gone paperless with our audit documentation. We have our files saved on a server and multiple people can access the same file at one time. We noticed that Acrobat does not give an message notifying a user that someone else is in that file, nor does Acrobat make that PDF file a read only file when someone else is in it editing the document. Is there a way to notify someone that another user is in the same PDF file? Or is there a way to make a PDF read only when someone else is working with the document?
Hi ashleyr1936858
You can restrict editing of a pdf by setting the password, such that anyone who wants to edit the pdf would need to input that password. This would make the pdf a read-only file.
Here's a Link for more information : Acrobat Help | Securing PDFs with passwords

I can't use scrolling in tabs when a PDF tab is open in Firefox 4.
If I have a PDF open in a tab, I can't use my mouse scroll in other tabs until I close the PDF tab. I can scroll fine in the PDF tab. Did not have this problem in Firefox 3.5 (skipped 3.6).
I have this exact same problem! Rather frustrating when you're switching between a PDF and a regular page. :(
I'm on a laptop and using the two-finger drag to scroll. If a PDF tab is open, but my selected tab is not the PDF, when I scroll, it scrolls the PDF and not the page you're on!
I was on 3.6 and this problem was NOT there; it only showed up on FF 4.0 -
IE9, Win7: How to get rid of "What do you want to do with ...doc? Open, Save, Save as
My web application downloads a .doc file. With IE9 and Windows 7 it displays the dialog "What do you want to do with xxxx.doc? Open, Save, Save as" Prior to IE9 I could check the box that said "remember" but with IE9 I do not see a way to prevent
the dialog from occurring every time. How can I turn off this dialog like I can in all prior versions of IE? I have looked through the forums and the answer might be here but most threads seem to be a little different problem. Some of my
customers are switching to FireFox and Chrome because of this problem so I would like to find a solution. I found another thread that had a potential solution (1. Click Tools - Internet Options - Security Tab. 2. Click Local intranet, click Sites, uncheck
"Automatically detect intranet network" if you checked it. Then check "Include all network paths (UNCs)". Click Advanced, add the intranet to the zone. Then Close and OK.) but that did not solve my problem.Hi,
Based my research, due to increasing in security, we cannot disable Download Manager of Internet Explorer 9 from changing settings, editing registry keys or editing settings in Group Policy. This can prevent websites downloading automatically. Instead, we can
set default download location.
For reference:

1) I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made. As soon as you open the file and exit. It prompts for a save.
All excel versions are 15.0.4701.1002.
Using a table.
the functions CELL, OFFSET, TODAY, INDIRECT, NOW, INFO and RAND are not being used.
2) Same file. 2nd person is being told they are opening the file as read only - but when they are quitting excel prompts them to save the file.
Everything was working fine. I started having problems with Excel, IT wiped my version out and re-installed office.
File is on networked server HP - Windows Server 2012 Essentials.
We are all on Windows 8.1 Pro.
I really hope someone can help - the excel expert had no answer - and passed me along to here.I copied the whole file and started deleting worksheets one at a time and testing it by closing it and re-opening it then closing it again – to see if it wanted to save.
Once all the pivot tables were deleted – the problem went away.
I found that some of the pivot tables had automatic refresh upon open, so this caused the excel to think data had changed.
It is fixed now. By clicking on one cell of the pivot table, analyze, options, data and uncheck the 3<sup>rd</sup> square down to not automatically refresh. NOT A NETWORK ISSUE. -
PDF's are becoming locked if someone has it open and another user tries to overwrite
We have a regional office seeing numerous issues with PDF files. The scenario is an engineer has a PDF open for review. Another user attempts to overwrite the PDF using another application. They get an error message that states the PDF cannot be overwritten (as expected). The odd thing is that once the engineer closes the PDF document the PDF remains locked and they are unable to update. We've checked on the server side and there are no signs that the document is locked or read-only. The only way they can release the lock on the file is to reboot the machine that had the PDF open for viewing. Any idea what might be going on? Seems odd. Like I said we only see the issue when someone tries to overwrite the file when it's open for viewing. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Hi,

Cant open same excel file when it is already open by another user (cant open read only)
We have been having an issue for a while now where if a user has an network saved
excel document open, another user cannot open it at all. We get the error
"Sorry we couldn't find your file. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?"
and/or simple "Could not Open _____" errors when this happens. We should certainly be able to open a read only copy at the least but office doesn't even give an option to do so. We are using office '07 Pro Plus. Thanks.We have been having an issue for a while now where if a user has an network saved

When one acco has iTunes open, the other users get error message
I have Vista Ultimate, 64 bit. My computer has three user accounts. If one user has iTunes open, then, when another user logs on, he gets window after window of "You can't start iTunes because someone else has it open", even though he's not trying to start iTunes!
The only solution is to log off the first user which is not always desirable if that user is not around. This is happening awhile now. Is there no fix yet???I have the same problem described; let me add some information.
1) I am set up as the "Owner" in Win7. My wife is set up as 2nd account. If I have iTunes open and my wife opens her account nothing happens. However, if my wife has iTunes open and I open my account, Windows gives me that annoying message saying that another user has iTunes open...every 30 seconds.
2) I searched through the forum and found several others with the same problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2168866

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10344281�
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10511702�
Most interesting thing I learned from this is that this error is found on multiple Windows platforms, but everyone is using an HP computer.
Is there some script that HP runs that is messing with iTunes?
