Why PDF documents are missing icon of standard size?

Hello,
My Adobe Reader is v11.0.6. It was originally installed on Win XP Home and worked OK.
Recently, I've moved it to Win7 Pro with the aid of Laplink PC Mover. It works OK, but PDF documents are missing its standard size icon, e.g. on Desktop. Precisely speaking, my closed PDF documents display as their icon the first page of the document with almost invisible miniature of PDF icon in its right lower corner.
I tried to take care of it with re-association and re-choosing right icon. This corrected the situation for a few seconds only.
I repaired the Reader installation also with the same effect.
The icon chosen is located in: C:\Windows\Installer\{AC76BAB6-7AD7-1033-7B44-AB0000000001} \PDFFile_8.ico. It's of 256x256 pixels
Why this happen? How can one repair it?

Open Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options
Go to the View tab
Check "Always show icons, never thumbnails"
Hit Apply
All your PDF files on your desktop should now show with the generic PDF icon.

Some PDF Documents are Missing Letters when Printing

We use a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (64-bit) server as our print server. Ever since we moved our printers to this server, several of our existing PDF documents have missing letters when they print. If you modify your print properties and choose "Print as Image", the documents print correctly with no missing letters.
The missing letters seem to come in specific combinations, such as ti, ft, fa, etc.
Our previous print server was a Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) machine and these documents all printed fine on that server.
Are there any known issues with printing PDF documents on a 64-bit print server, or with 64-bit drivers?
Thank you for your time,
Jason

This response will hopefully help you towards a solution—I have not encountered the specific problem you are facing.
The image you posted shows the fonts that are embedded in your document: both Calibri and Myriad Pro. However, the second instance of Calibri indicates that some some of the Calibri characters were encoded differently, and I suspect based on the combo characters you listed, these are glyphs and are what your printer is having trouble processing.
The usual solution for print server issues is to make sure all drivers and firmware are updated.
The answer to your question regarding embedding fonts completely is to change your Adobe pdf print preferences to embed all fonts, not just a subset. This must be done when the pdf is being created initially. You can change font embedding by choosing a joboption like Press Quality that includes full font embedding or by modifying the joboption you are already using. In Windows, you can do this at the time of print by selecting the Advanced button next to the printer selection dropdown and changing settings there, in advance by modifying the printing preferences from your printers menu, or by editing the joboptions in Acrobat Distiller.

Win 7 "Default Programs" does not include MS Office 2007 Programs, the missing Programs are missing ICONs as well

I installed Windows 7 in an upgrade from Windows XP. As part of the process MS gave me a URL to download a Office 2007 Pro I could activate with the license key I owned. I got similar URLs for Visio Professional and Project Professional.
Downloaded, installed, activated, started the programs.
From the beginning some of the icons were missing. Like the icons for Word, Excel, Access, Outlook, Power Point, Publisher, Visio, and of course Project. I tried most of the answers in this forum, that didn't sound like guesswork, and none of
them solved either problem. There must be at least 65 guesses to fix the icon problem, but none with the missing Default Programs problem.
The programs related to the missing "Default Programs" still work, they startup when you select the related document. If I check "Associate a File Type or Protocol with a Specific Program" the missing Office 2007 programs are listed
there, associated with the designated programs, but are missing icons.
I make it a habit not to pay a vendor for a product so that I can have the privilege of fixing the vendor's problems. Google tells me these are well known problems. The only thing missing is the answer. I won't ever use MS chat or telephone,
because all they do is tell me why they can't help and transfer me elsewhere.
Does anyone have a REAL answer please?

To restore office icons you could try this method

I had the same problem with Office 2010 programs not showing in "Set Your Default Programs". No other "fixes" (including repair) worked. Found this thread:
http://www.sevenforums.com/microsoft-office/222503-office-2010-not-listed-default-programs.html
and used it as a guide. When you look at this key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications
you will see a list of software pointing to another HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry key. For example, my Word program was showing up as "Word.Application.14" and pointing to Software\Clients\Word Processing\Microsoft Word\Capabilities
(In contrast, PastorMike's fix in the link above advocates making a new entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Capabilities. However, OneNote did appear in my "Set Your Default Programs" and it - and the other Office programs
- were listed under ..\Software\Clients\... and not ...\Software\Microsoft\...)
So at this point I went my own way (although maybe PastorMike's fix would also work).
The difference between OneNote and the other programs was the existence of values for "ApplicationName" and "ApplicationDescription" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\Word Processing\Microsoft Word\Capabilities. Also, for OneNote
there was a "FileAssociations" sub-key that was missing from the other programs.
It is setting the values for ApplicationName and ApplicationDescription which cause the program to show up in the list in the left pane of "Set Your Default Programs". And it is the file associations in the FileAssociations key that allows resetting
associations en masse when they are snaffled by another program.
Below is the reg file I added for Word 2010. (i used similar for the other programs) After doing this, Word appeared after reopening "Set Default Programs" - no reboot required
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Word Processing\Microsoft Word\Capabilities]
"ApplicationDescription"="Create and edit professional-looking documents such as letters, papers, reports, and booklets by using Microsoft Word."
"ApplicationName"="Microsoft Word 2010"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Word Processing\Microsoft Word\Capabilities\FileAssociations]
".doc"="Word.Document.8"
".dochtml"="wordhtmlfile"
".docm"="Word.DocumentMacroEnabled.12"
".docmhtml"="wordmhtmlfile"
".docx"="Word.Document.12"
".docxml"="wordxmlfile"
".dot"="Word.Template.8"
".dothtml"="wordhtmltemplate"
".dotm"="Word.TemplateMacroEnabled.12"
".dotx"="Word.Template.12"
".htm"="wordhtmlfile"
".html"="wordhtmlfile"
".odt"="Word.OpenDocumentText.12"
".rtf"="Word.RTF.8"
".wbk"="Word.Backup.8"
".wiz"="Word.Wizard.8"
".wll"="Word.Addin.8"
By using my ramblings and the link provided above you may be able fix the problem you are having with Office 2007. However, I am unsure of how to find the necessary file associations for Office 2007 except by trawling through your registry for the filetypes
listed in the link above and the values for them in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

Finder crashes and restarts when Adobe PDF documents are accessed.

Recently I've been having problems with my Finder crashing (window closes and the dot under the Finder icon in the Dock goes out) and restarting (dot under the icon in the Dock comes back on). The problem occurs when I select an Adobe PDF document in the Finder. I use column view. If I click once on a document to see the Preview information in the next column, or if I double click to open the document, the crash and restart occurs. However, it doesn't happen for all Adobe PDF documents. If the icon next to the document name in the Finder shows the first page of the document, the problem does no occur. But if the document icon remains the Adobe logo, the problem occurs.
I'm running Os X 10.5.5 on one of the early iMacs. Other than regular Apple updates, the only software change I've made recently is to install Adobe Flash Player.

Here's an update.
The problem seems to be confined to the Finder when Column view is selected. When List or Icon view is selected there is no crash and restart. When Cover Flow is selected the Finder crashes and restarts, but the pattern seems a bit odd. It crashes when some folders or subfolders are selected, but not others.
In Column view the problem occurs for some Adobe PDF documents where the document icon is the first page. It occurs for all PDF documents where the icon is the Adobe logo.

One or more PDF documents are open inside a web browser - message

Hi,
I have a new L series notebook and its great. The only foible I can think of is a message I keep getting when I try to shutdown. There is a message box that says "One or more PDF documents are open inside a web browser. If you exit adobe reader now, those documents will be closed. Are you sure you want to exit?".
The thing is I do not have any PDF's or web browsers open at the time! Can you help me please?
Thanks, Mark.

Hi Mark
Believe me its nothing serious the same happens on my notebook from time to time
Usually the PDF files can be read with the Adobe Acrobat reader. This application service runs in the OS background and this message can appears if the Adobe Acrobat reader cannot close the background process automatically
I have solved this tiny problem by removing the acrobat reader from the system. After new reboot I have reinstalled it again
Now the message does not appear and all runs like a dream ;)

My adobe/ PDF documents are password protected. How can I remove the password?

@My adobe/ PDF documents are password protected. How can I remove the password?

Hello,
two answers I found in my library about removing or finding unknown password:
Removing: "Not with any Adobe products, and other products are not discussed on these forums..."
Open a file: "The only way to open a password protected file is to know the password (there's no way to get around that). Hopefully you know who created the PDF and can get the password from them."

"Documents are missing" - what is to be done?

Hello,
we receive this messge in the report of ta. ucwb "Analysis of transaction data" (Tools -> Transaction data -> Analyze and repair data streams -> Compare journal entries with totals records -> Display details):
Some documents are missing for certain totals records. This can have the following causes:
Translation to group currency is selected in the customizing settings for the document type. Furthermore, the document type posts in group currency and at least one more currency.
Translation to group currency is NOT selected in the customizing settings for the document type. However, instead of posting in group currency, the document type only posts in the local and transaction currencies.
Totals records contain values in group currency only. A typical cause is that the currency translation function, which only works with totals records, has created these values during translation and/or rounding. This is NOT an error.
Although it might be not an error - are there any arrangements to be made?
Regards
Martin Lehmann

Hello Dan,
this was exactly the case!
We have documents which were posted in RUB and were written to the document ODS and the BCS cube. So the values are consistent in transactional currency.
When the totals records were computed a posting with local currency was created with the same allocation as the original record. Additionally a record was created for the currrency difference of the average rate of exchange and the period-end exchange rate. These sentences have local curr. equal 0 and trans. curr. n.e. 0 and were reported...
Many regards
Martin

PDF documents are blank but epub documents are not

Hello All;
I have an install of ACS 4. Installed on the following.
Linux version 2.6.28.1-xxxx-std-ipv4-32 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1) ) #2 SMP Fri Jan 30 09:55:02 UTC 2009
I have a production license and I am able to fulfill books - both epub and PDF.
However, when I attempt to download/view the books in Adobe Digital Editions, the PDF files are blank. I should mention that the PDF files that are blank, are PDFs that I grabbed from public domain sites (archive.org). The epub documents that I grabbed from the same source, work find in Adobe Digital Editions.
I would also add that the sample books that are included with Adobe Content Server work just fine. So, I am to assume that there is something 'wrong' with the PDFs that I have.
Anyone see this before? Anyone know where I could look for answers?
Thanks much.
Glen

Digital Editions supports essentially the PDF/A profile (plus some extras see the FAQ at http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/faq/ for the full list). The most commonly noticed thing that is missing compared to the current PDF 1.7 spec is JPEG2000 support.
What happens when you view these files in Digital Editions before your package them?

Colors in PDF documents are wrong Please!!! Help!

When i open a PDF color document with Adobe, the colors are all wrong. It doesn't matter if i open the PDF document in IE browser or Adobe alone on desktop. All the PDF documents have the wrong color being displayed. Downloaded latest driver for monitor, Graphics card. Same documents display correct colors on other PDF reader like foxit. however adobe is incorrect. Tried reinstalling it and still have the same error. Please help.

I'm only having this problem with Adobe. I did uninstall all adobe applications that i could find and then reinstalled them. I only used Control panels add remove applications. I did restart my system after the uninstall. I also cleared the registry using CCleaner to remove any additional adobe files that may have been left behind.
I've fiddled with the Preferences tab. I couldn't get it to correct the colors. I've checked Replace document colors and tried all the options Colors where still wrong. Currently the settings are Document Colors options... Replace document colors Unchecked. Override page display unchecked for both. Tab order checked. Other accessibility options all unchecked. I called support and because I'm only using the free adobe reader I'm not privileged enough to get their technical support, that's only reserved for the paying full blown version of Adobe. They directed me to the forum. I'm very appreciative to all of those who are trying to help and i hope everyone can help me fix this problem.

PDF documents are not opening

I have reader installed, but when I download a PDF document I have to manually "open with" reader. There are not any other PDF programs on the computer. Using win 7.

Which Reader version you are using? Do you see any error by double clicking on pdf simply?
Share error snapshot if you see some.

I have one staging sharepoint 2007 site and production sharepoint 2007 site. Users updating at the staging environment and we are using content deployment to change the content in the production site.We are mainly uploading and updating PDF documents.

We have set up no check out for the document edit at the production environment. We cant overwrite any pdf file in this production environment.
Any help really appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I assume you have two pdf files and they have different contents.
Let’s say 1.pdf and 2.pdf.
Please try to check it as following:
1.
Upload 1.pdf to SharePoint site
2.
Delete 1.pdf in local
3.
Change the name of 2.pdf to 1.pdf
4.
Upload 1.pdf to SharePoint site
5.
And then could you get the two version of this document with different contents?
Please let me know the result.
Hope this helps
Thanks!
