  • Why won't pdf files print from Safari?

    why won't pdf files print from Safari? I get blank pages. They print fine from Firefox. OS X 10.8.4

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Why does my Epson printer keep disappearing from my ipad

    Why does my air printer keep disappearing from my ipad

    reboot the router (and the printer). 
    If still happening, check your router settings.  Is it set so that the lease on the printer IP expires?
    The pad has to see the printer as active, and on the same wifi network as the pad.
    You might also want to see if there is a firmware update for the printer available.

    Why does a PDF file created in Pages, attached to e-mail, not get sent?  I even blank copied myself and nothing seems to have been sent.  Could it bee the size of the PDF file?

  • Why wont my PDF files upload to my website?

    I have not been able to upload certain PDF files to my website. They upload to my (non-website) e-mail as attachments fine, but not to the wesbite. Other file formats, and very small 'test' PDFS upload fine, but ones over 2MB, whether 'locked' or not, just wont upload. The status bar gets about a tenth of the way across, then I get an error message.
    Can anyone offer a solution?

    It says "the document has features not supported in this reader" and I haven't been able to open it in literally anything except for on my friend's laptop, nothing on my tablet will open it and there isn't many things I can download on the tablet instead

    What error messages are you seeing (if any) when trying to open the PDF file with Adobe Reader Touch?
    Have you been able to open that PDF file with other PDF software, e.g. Adobe Reader XI?

  • Why do my pdf files disappear when placing into Indesign CC?

    I was working a late night rush project. When I came to the point of placing pdf files in my indesign CC document nothing worked. The first files showed up missing their header. They next file simply did not appear on the page. They previewed ok. The eventual work around was to place them in Indesign 5.5, an older program. Then they came in fine. I need to have an answer to why this happened. I was not placing the files from the cloud on somewhere on the internet but from my hard drive. I am getting very frustrated with this new CC application.

    Try showing the import options and make sure the crop option you want to use is one that is not grayed out.

  • Baggage Files keep disappearing

    I am aware of the RH6 issue of the baggage files not being
    able to be added the traditional way, and the user having to add
    them manually in rhbag.apj file. I have done that and they do work
    after that is done, but my problem is that they keep disappearing
    after some time, and I will have to go in manually to add them
    again. I add them, they work, and then after a couple days and a
    couple compilations they are removed again and my link doesn't work
    of course. Does anyone know a work-around to this, and how to make
    them permanently stick? Or, am I to accept this nuisance and find a
    different method for displaying these files? Any advice is greatly
    appreciated!
    Danni

    I link to .pdf files from the TOC with no problem.
    Danni, you mention,
    "...and the user having to add them manually in rhbag.apj
    file."
    I always import baggage files in the RH explorer view, and I
    let RH take care of the rhbag.apj file. (This is not to reject my
    colleagues' advice to edit the file. It may be necessary. I haven't
    needed to do that.)
    RH also keeps the baggage file list in a database table in
    the .cpd file. It has a separate table for links to baggage files.
    On the rare occasion when I have a problem, I discover an
    error in the database table. For example, each topic and baggage
    file has an ID number, and sometimes a file ID acquires a "minus"
    sign. Normally that's a "missing file" flag, but RH can't reconcile
    the database flag with the file's presence in the project folder.
    Open a backup copy of the .cpd file in MS Access, go to
    tables view and open the ones for baggage files. If you see a
    negative topic or file ID, and you know the file is in the
    project's Windows directory, delete the minus sign.
    If you see entries for baggage files that you know are
    obsolete, and you've removed them in RH and the project directory,
    delete those entries. Save before you exit from Access.
    Access may warn that you won't be able to save any changes
    unless you convert the database file to your current version of
    Access. I've ignored this warning and successfully saved changes.
    On the other hand, I don't believe any harm would come from
    updating.
    Temporarily change the name of the original cpd file and
    substitute the revised copy with the correct file name.
    Launch RH and open the project. The baggage files should be
    straightened out, but if not, try importing the "missing" ones from
    a location outside the project directory. (The corollary is that
    you shouldn't try to import a baggage file that's already in the
    project directory and may be in the rhbag.apj list as well. That's
    what sometimes confuses RH.)
    Interestingly, when you import a file that RH previously
    couldn't find, sometimes the import dialog says the baggage file is
    already in the project, do you want to overwrite it? Just say yes.
    Don't try to explain it, because RH can't tell you why it has to
    overwrite a file that isn't there.
    Of course, you have the option of going back to the original
    .cpd file by removing the new one and renaming the old one.
    Sometimes I start by making a copy of the entire project, but then
    I have to label and remember which folder contains the version I
    want to use later. Don't use the "recent projects" list in RH
    unless you revised the project name for the copy.

  • Why would my Acrobat tab keep disappearing from my Office programs?

    Every so often, my Acrobat tab keeps disappearing from my Office programs.  It seems totally random, but happens when I am actually using the tool to convert a word doc or excel spreadsheet to PDF.  I am using Office 2007 Professional and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. 
    I have no problems getting the Acrobat tab back by doing the following:
    1. Close the affected Office program (ie Word, Excel etc)
    2. Reopen the affected Office program as Administrator.
    3. Go into Options >Add-Ins> COM addins and delete the existing Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin.
    4. Click OKs and close the program.
    5. Reopen as Administrator and go back to  Options >Add-Ins> COM addins and Add Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin. 
    (The add in for me is stored at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office and select the PDFMOfficeAddin.dll file. )
    Once I add it back this way, it stays for sometimes up to 2 months, but then disappears again.  I've had this happen in Word and Excel.
    So getting it back is not an issue, but knowing what it happens in the first place and stopping that occurrence would be even better.
    Any help with be awesome.
    Thank you

    Yeah.. I just noticed I was missing stuff last week, and then realized that my Apple TV was not showing up in my iTunes device list. I'm just hoping that the silence on this issue from Apple is a sign that they are getting ready to push out an update to correct either itunes or Apple TV. I've read lots of complaints, and just a few remedies. I've tried the remedies (including the one on the Apple TV support site) and none of them work for me. I have noticed one thing that that I wanted to try. In iTunes->Preferences->Apple TV I have an Apple TV in the "Apple TV's connected to iTunes" window, that shows a status of syncing. Since I don't have an Apple TV in the device list, and my Apple TV was reset days ago so it is giving me the code to enter into iTunes, can I assume that this item can and should be deleted. I don't think this is going to solve my problem, but it looks like a good next step. Any suggestions?

  • Default for opening pdf files keeps changing back to 'save file' after I set it to open in firefox

    Since upgrading to the latest Firefox version, my options for opening adobe pdf files have changed. I set it to 'use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox', it works absolutely fine, then some time over the next few days it changes itself back to 'save file'. Then I have to open options and change it again. This happened to me some years back with a much earlier version of Firefox - I can't remember how it was resolved, I think it just stopped doing it after a while. But it is most irritating!

    I echo the request for Help! I've added Options to my Toolbar so I can more easily change "Save File" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" as the default. Why does Firefox keep reverting to the save file default?

  • PDF files keeps locked in Explorer preview

    When previewing a PDF in Windows Explorer (Windows 7 & 8) the background process AcroRd32.exe will run 2 times and after deselecting the pdf it takes approx 15 seconds to close AcroRd32.exe. Also the file keeps locked for 15 seconds until AcroRd32.exe will close. How can I speed this up? What I want is when deselecting the PDF in explorer, closing AcroRd32.exe instantly, just like when closing down Adobe Reader itself.
    I am using 11.0.5 but this is happening in other versions too.
    Thanks in advance.

    Well thank you for the great answer! To bad I didn't came up with that solution myself...
    Offcourse, this is not a solution... There are tons of reasons why I won't disable the preview.
    Anyone else?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Why are my ".pdf" files not opening in Creative Cloud? The tumbril shows up as a blank page!

    I just switched over from Adobe Acrobat Cloud to Creative Cloud; a tedious task. Most of my files open up fine, but some of them show up as a blank page thumb nail. They do have ".pdf" extension. Any ideas as to why this is happening, and what I can do to correct the issue?
    Ty

    @masood131 - A few questions:
    Are the pdf files without a thumbnail password protected? (Probably not but just checking since we will not be able to provide a preview for such a file).
    If you click on the blank thumbnail to view the individual file page do you see a larger preview image, or is that blank too?
    If you refresh the browser page does the thumbnail image show?
    If you upload the file a second time do you see a thumbnail image?
    If there is a problem with a specific file feel free to share a link with me via a private message and I can investigate further.

  • PDF files keep coming with old file name not as current file name

    Hi,
    I have a problem when exporting InDesign docs to PDF with some documnets. If I change the name in the export dialog box, then every time I export this doc to PDF in the future this name keep coming, even when I change the name of the document or save it in a new name. This causes confusion, since sometimes the name is completely different from the InDesign file name. What can be done to tell InDesign to save the exported PDF file according to the current file name and don’t remember the old PDF file name?
    I was thinking of a script, is there a ready one to use?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the tips, very useful indeed.
    Though it is bit hard to have everyone in the studio follow them as a routine. I way I used to do this is to go to Save as command, with right mouse I choose copy the highlighted document name, then I choose cancel, then when I choose to export I'll paste the the name which is the current file name, this is good for me, but I wouldn't dream of having this as a routine for everyone in the studio.
    I was thinking it would be easy if I can find a script, since I don't know scripting, to do just that, i.e. have Indesign to copy the current filename of the document (whether by doing the same trick as I am doing or if there is a direct command to do that in the script), then the script will go to the export dialog box, paste that name, then I will go on with the normal export dialog box options.
    This script will be easier to have everybody in the studio to follow.
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks

  • Why are the PDF files in v27 bigger than in v25?

    I have just created a v27 version of my single iOS app, which has been v25 before. Now the app has a size of about 550 MB instead of about 430 MB. I found out that the PDF files of the slideshows are bigger  than before. What is the reason for this change and is there a way to get smaller file sizes again?
    Kind regards
    Michael
    No idea? At least someone of the staff should know why the DPS creates larger files now.
    There is another issue which indicates that Adobe doesn't care about file sizes. In slideshows the DPS always uses PNG files (if you don't choose PDF files, which are larger now, as I have told you). Of course it is because of transparency, but it would be easy to let the user choose between PNG and JPG like Twixl does.

    You should report this via Gold Support who will investigate this. Minor file size changes will always occure on releases, however since you report the size change is significant, there may be some issue and needs further testing.

  • Why have my pdf files lost the Adobe pdf icon? Please help.

    Hello all.
    In transfering pdf files from my old PowerBook G4 to my new MacBook Pro, half of the pdf files now have a blank page as an icon. Also, all pdf files that I now create through print in Safari are blank. Nevertheless, all of these files open properly with Adobe Reader. This is the only type of file that lacks a proper icon. Why has the proper icon been lost & how do I solve this problem?
    Thanks for your help.

    Thank you, the problem appears to have been solved by
    rebuilding the launch services database as you
    recommended. The second solution did not work.
    Question: why do you think this problem occurred with
    a new computer straight out of the box?
    When you transfer files from another computer or over an FTP site or email, some of the info is sometimes lost. It's actually pretty rare from computer to computer but just about always happens on Internet transfers, although those mostly lose their icons.
    I'm still learning how to use this web site. I
    selected helpful without realizing I should have
    selected solved. Can I change to solved?
    I don't think so but you can make this one as solved.
