Why are some of my PDF files using Adobe X Reader in Firefox 4 damaged?

I click on a PDF file to read and it comes up damaged and cannot be repaire. Yet, this same file can be read or view in Chrome and IE with no problems. Why? Other users I know have no problems if they're using Firefox 3.6. This is the link:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/powersys/v3r1m5/topic/iphan/iphan.pdf
Keeps coming back saying a temp file is damage and cannot be repaired.

Currently on an ipad and in either Safari or Chrome.
Rave,
1.) How do I turn off the macro(?) that is causing my all capped replies to automatically hit the comment button?
2.) I wanted to mark my original post as "resolved", but the "Actions" buttons are all showing "No actions available".
Thanks again,
Kathi

Why can I not open PDF files using adobe reader in firefox?

When I try to read a PDF file with adobe reader the file looks like it starts to load, I see in the tool bar the page count but the file never opens.

You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them
Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

I can't view PDF files in Adobe Arcobat/Reader in Firefox v5, but I can view them in Internet Explorer?

I have the current versions of Adobe Acrobat/Reader and Firefox

you need to install the reader into Firefox
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Do not accept anything but the reader, any thing else offered would be crapware and difficult to uninstall.

Compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line

Does anyone know how to compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line. I want to do this via command line because we want to compare hundreds of file every day through some automated windows tasks.
If command line option is not available in acrobat, then is it feasible to make use of acrobat javascript API to do this task?
Any kind of help will be greatly.

Command-line: Not possible.
JavaScript: Possible, but very limited. Basically the only thing you can do is simulate clicking the Compare Documents button. The rest has to be done manually.
However, it *might* be possible to automate this process a bit more using a plugin. Ask over at the Acrobat SDK forum for more information...

Is it possible to extract the contents of any PDF file using Adobe PDF SDK?

Is it possible to extract the contents of any PDF file using Adobe PDF SDK?
For Example: There is one pdf file. Let us say xxx.pdf with 32 pages. I am interested in only in a topic present at 10th page. Can I extract this information and save it into another pdf file (means new pdf file)?

Thanks Irosenth,
I am actually interested in extract the page and create a new PDF with that page. But still there is a catch that on which basis the page needs to extract either on PAGE number OR on Bookmark basis.
But here in this scenario assume I am looking for the PDF file, now I want to save only page 5. How can I extract page 5 automatically/programmatuically? Or in simple word how can I get the reference link of page 5?
Here I am not getting clear picture that Do I need both SDK Adobe & Acrobat to achieve this requirement. And more over you have mentioned that SDK itself is free. But on Adobe side it is mentioned that it is available by license only with this I have another doubt: To work my desktop/system application with Adobe PDF library, this library needs to distribute with the application. So in this case will it be chargeable for each and every deployment.
Could you please provide me the link from where I can download the SDK? So that I can do some excerise with SDK to figure out the exact flow of functionality to work with my application.

Can't get duplex print option for pdf files using Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP8600

I get two-sided option for normal printing, but
I can't get duplex print option for pdf files using Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP Officejet Pro 8600. HP says it's an Adobe problem. I'm stuck.
Thanks in advance.

It depends where the pdf is located. If in the Finder or in an attachment to
an email in Entourage, the message is ³You can¹t open the application
³Acrobat Reader 5.0² because PowerPC applications are no longer supported².
If an attachment in an email that has come via Safari, the message is
³Safari can¹t open the file because no available applications can open it².
In each case the menu bar is Finder or Entourage or Safari as the case may
be.

I want to import a MS Word Index into a .pdf file using Adobe Pro. How do I do that?

I want to import a MS Word Index into a .pdf file using Adobe Pro. It is for a book. The book has been converted to a .pdf for printing, but it needs an Index for the last page of the book. I tried to embed a new index (starting from scratch but no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time.

Now I want to search this "myArrayStrings.get(r)" in another file. How to do that?Store the returned String. Do the same thing you did to read the first file to read the second file (i.e. read it in line-by-line and store the lines in a list). Then check if that list contains the String you stored from the first list.
E.g. (using your code):
String name = myArrayStrings.get(r); // assuming r is initialized somewhere before this
if ( otherList.contains( name ) ) { // assuming otherList is your second list
// do something
}
