do you know a way/ a software that we can convert the PDF for better viewing on iphone ?

If you use Adobe Reader 9, you have to enable "Enable search highlights  from external highlight server" in "Preferences|Search" .
For Adobe Reader X read this:

  • How to extract text from a PDF file?

    Hello Suners,
    i need to know how to extract text from a pdf file?
    does anyone know what is the character encoding in pdf file, when i use an input stream to read the file it gives encrypted characters not the original text in the file.
    is there any procedures i should do while reading a pdf file,
    File f=new File("D:/File.pdf");
                   FileReader fr=new FileReader(f);
                   BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(fr);
                   String s=br.readLine();any help will be deeply appreciated.

    First, you set i once, and then loop without ever changing it. So your loop body will execute either 0 times or infinitely many times, writing the same byte every time. Actually, maybe it'll execute once and then throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. That's basic java looping, and you're going to need a firm grip on that before you try to do anything as advanced as PDF reading. the case.oops you are absolutely right that was a silly mistake to forget that,
    Second, what do the docs for getPageContent say? Do they say that it simply gives you the text on the page as if the thing were a simple text doc? I'd be surprised if that's the case.getPageContent return array of bytes so the question will be:
    how to get text from this array? i was thinking of :
        private void jButton1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            PdfReader read;
            StringBuffer buff=new StringBuffer();
            try {
                read = new PdfReader("d:/getjobid2727.pdf");
                read.getMetaData();
                byte[] data=read.getPageContent(1);
                int i=0;
                while(i>-1){ 
                    buff.append(data);
    i++;
    String str=buff.toString();
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("D:/test.txt");
    Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, "UTF8");
    out.write(str);
    out.close();
    read.close();
    } catch (Exception f) {
    f.printStackTrace();
    "D:/test.txt"  hasn't been created!! when i ran the program,

  • I can't edit text on a pdf file in adobe acrobat

    I downloaded the adobe livecycle designer but I couldn't edit the text there either... When I open the file it says the text is not downloaded so it replaced it with another text, I clicked ok but then the text didn't change, This message showed up:
    I really need to edit the text on this pdf file because it's important. Can anyone help? Greatly appreciate it. By the way, this is a pdf fillable form that you can fill out on acrobat and that is the only thing it seems like it will let me do this file. I don't want to fill it out, I want to edit whats on it. It's one of those forms that you get from NJ courts.

    Ok, what we can tell you is that if this is a LiveCycle form (and we can be pretty sure it is), that you are absolutely right. Acrobat can fill it, and nothing else. These are a very special kind of PDF, where all the text is in a special XML format that Acrobat can only show, not edit.

  • Intermittent Problem of Corruption when printing PDF files

    From time to time I have a problem with text corruption when printing pdf files. Text comes out one character alphabetically later.
    For example, a file I printed yesterday contained the text "ONE WEEK VISITOR LICENCE". On printing it again today (on the same computer and printer), it appeared as "POF!XFFL!WJTJUPS!MDFODF". But another attempt immediately afterwards was correct.Here is a scan of the correct and incorrect printouts
    I have had this problem intermittently over a couple of years, particularly with pdf files embedded as a frame in a web page.
    I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.0 (but the problem has also appeared on earlier versions), Windows XP SP3 with all updates and an HP Deskjet 6980 printer on a wireless link.
    Any advice would be welcome

    Not sure why this may be happening. But you can try printing the PDFs as an image, which should solve the problem. It may take a little longer to print but at least you will get a correct print.
    You can do the same by Clicking on the Advanced button displayed on the Print dialog and checking the checkbox for "Print as Image".
    Hope that this fixes the issue.

  • Why cannot I copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Adobe Reader XI?

    Hi all,
    I had a problem when I tried to copy some selected text on a pdf file([Linux.System.Programming(2nd,2013.5)].Robert.Love.文字版.pdf) , which was opened in Adobe Reader XI as below (non-English version):
    The error's text could be primarily translated as "An error occured when copied to clipboard. Internal Error." I'm not sure about the reason of this. I guess it is a problem or bug related to operating system or Adobe Reader XI. I had this problem when I used other versions of Adobe Reader though I cannot remember the exact number of versions now.
    The version of XI I'm using is 11.0.0.  The operating system is XP SP3.
    As I was writing this question, the problem disappeared and I cannot reproduce it again now.
    Could anyone help explain why the error message appearred or why the problem disappearred? If there is referrence provided, that would be finer. Thank you.

    Hello,
    We believe we have figured this out.  It looks like it has to do with the length of the default folder location for the Adobe iFilter.
    I was able to reproduce the issue and the following resolved it for me.  See if this resolves it for you all as well.
    Here is how to get Adobe Version 11 PDF filter to work.
     1 . If you haven’t already, run the following in SQL Server:
    Sp_fulltext_service ‘Load_os_resources’, 1
    Go
    --you might also need to run:  sp_fulltext_service ‘Verify_signature’,0  --This is used to validate trusted iFilters. 0 disables it. So use with caution.
    --go
    2. Stop SQL Server.  (Make sure FDHost.exe stops)
    3.  
    Uninstall the Adobe ifilter (because it defaulted to having spaces or the folder name is too long).
    4.  
    Reinstall the Adobe iFilter and when it prompts for where to install it, change it to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter
    5.  Once the installation finishes, go the computer’s Environment variables. Add the following to the PATH.
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter\BIN
    NOTE: it must include the BIN folder
    NOTE: If you had the OLD location that included spaces, remove it from the path environment variable.
    6. Start SQL Server
    7.  IF you had an existing Full-text index on PDFs, drop the full-text index and recreate it.
    8. You should now get results when you run sys.dm_fts_index_keywords('db','tblname')  --Note: Change db to be the actual database name and tblname to be the actual table name.
     Give this a try and see if this fixes yours. 
    Sincerely,
    Rob Beene, MSFT

  • Text missing in PDF files

    I have been trying to print out a form from a local university for my daughter.
    http://www.wlv.ac.uk/PDF/uow-direct-app-home.pdf
    I am using Leopard 10.5.2 - but when I preview this form in finder, nearly all of the text is missing. If I try to print it to my non-postscript printer - again, all the text is missing. If I print it to my PostScript printer, then it prints.
    I notice the PDF has badly (i.e. none) embedded fonts, so Acrobat has to use the Substitute "Adobe Serif MM" font.
    Anyone else getting this problem with this PDF?
    Funnily (well, not so funny, when i recently switched to Mac as it's 'THE' platform for graphics - cough!) the PDF renders and prints fine on my XP machine.
    Steve

    OK... I think i may have a handle on this.
    As I use my Mac for design work, the only fonts I routinely have activated are the "must have" fonts in the /System/Library/Fonts directory.
    Everything else is removed, and activated via Font Agent pro.
    I think Preview has a problem when a PDF file does not have fonts properly embeded. I just activated all the standard fonts that Microsoft, and Apple plonk in ~/Library/Fonts and /Library/Fonts - including a copy of Palatino, and, hey presto - Quick view works again.
    However, this doesn't explain the text vanishing when printing from Acrobat itself to a non-postscript printer.

  • Glitches when Rasterizing PDF Files?

    Hi, I'm having issues with Photoshop 5 when rasterising pdf files on a new iMac running OSX 10.6.6. Small glitches, like lines appear in certain areas (see images below) When I rasterised the same file on another older iMac running OS 10.5.8 and Photoshop 4 it rendered correctly. Any ideas what may be causing this and any solutions/work arounds?
    With glitchwithout glitch

    Uhhhh,
    specially in a printing environment you should avoild rasterizing any PDF. This is the worst way you can go:
    Are you aware about text and vectors which are rasterized become blurry?
    Are you aware that 1c-black becomes 4c-black
    Are you aware that a pdf can contain different color spaces and profiles?
    All this information causes in bad printing quality. Please, don't use PS to rasterize PDFs. If I would realize that my printer is doing it, I would stop any cooperation with him and I would also cancel any open orders and consider to request money back for all other orders. (I would realize it with the first delivery I get it.)

  • Using browser javascript to copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Air app.

    I have posted this question on reader forum as well, but I think it is more suited here...
    I am trying to create a note-taking application in air. I want to extract selected text from pdf file as a string object or to the clipboard.
    Obviously, all pdfs in my local storage will not be scripted to recieve postMessages and act accordingly, and that is not practical either. So, my problem is, how can I copy the selected text in the pdf file (opened as an object in htmlloader within my Air app) to clipboard or directly in another control by say clicking a button in air application? I suppose, this is possible using javascript, however, I don't know which reader methods are exposed to the wrapper htmlloader control. In short, I want to execute app.execMenuItem("Copy") command through htmlloader javascript. Any alternate solutions are also welcome.
    This is similar to passing inbuilt commands/methods/functions (of adobe reader) to pdf-reader plugin embedded in a webpage via javascript. This is possible in IE where the pdf is rendered as activex object, and hence JSObject interface of pdf document/reader is accessible to the browser javascript. I have also read that this same JSObject is accessible to VB as interface for IAC, so as the Air is Adobe's own product, I was wondering if equivalent of JSObject is accessible to htmlloader control as well.
    Thanks in advance...
    Mits

    Thank you Thom for your reply...
    from
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html
    ...Through JavaScript extensions, the viewer application and its plug-ins expose much of their functionality to document authors, form designers, and plug-in developers...
    As it is explicitly mentioned, that the functionality of adobe reader are exposed for plugin development, I thought someone here might have used external javascript to execute some safe methods in adobe reader. The functionality (i.e. external javascript interface-JSObject) is already available for VB programmers to develop IAC. Further, the Acrobat SDK example called "AcroPDFinHML" shows how one can embed a pdf-reader in a html page and execute some safe methods (like gotonextpage(), zooming etc.) in IE as ActiveX plugin. I have checked it myself for adobe reader 9, and it works perfectly, so there is no security issue as such to implement the same for another browser (like in my case, the htmlloader control in flex/air app).
    I intend to create a note taking application in air, where it is very much required that I should be able to copy selected text from various pdf documents, that are open in my app, and subsequently paste/collect/save the collected notes and process them afterwords (offcourse, from the pdfs that allow me copying text). However, it is not happening for me here. As the pdfs are opened through adobe reader plugin, it does not register the copy command executed by my air app. It registers the system level copy command (by keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C), but my air app has no way to execute the system level copy command programmatically. So I am kind of stuck here...
    Thanks again for your reply. Having known what am I intend to accomplish, any other (may be alternative) solutions will be appreciated nonetheless...

  • Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (admplugin.apl) crash when opening PDF files

    Hi,
    I did spend some time today trying to get Adobe Reader 8.1.2 to run on a Citrix Access Essential 2.0 server.
    Setup
    Server OS:
    Windows Server 2003 SP2 - fully patched.
    Other software:
    Office 2003 Standard, Danish, SP3
    Symantec Antivirus 10.1
    Adobe Reader 8.1.2, Danish
    The installation is clean (1 week old).
    Problem description:
    When opening PDF files, Adobe Reader crashes before showing any content from the PDF file. The module crashing is admplugin.apl.
    Work-arounds tried:
    Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (DK).
    Disabling Antivirus (service stopped)
    Replacing admplugin.apl with admplugin.apl from Adobe Reader 8.0
    Uninstalling DK version and installing US version.
    Adding user to local Administrators to exclude any permission related problems.
    Deleting Adobe folders from users profile Application Data\Adobe\... and Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\...
    Turn DEP off
    Solution:
    Finally I gave up and installed 7.0.9 (Danish). It works as expected.
    It seems that the problem is known and a few user has reported this. One Adobe KB article mentions the problem, and the solution is to disable some 3. party diagnostic/support tools provided by DSL providers. This is definitively not the issue in this installation.
    Anybody from Adobe having any input to this problem?
    Best regards from Denmark!

    Hi,
    I am having a similar issue with Ver 8.1.2 running over cirtix with a similar setup to Jans-Peter.
    The difference is that Reader opens fine but when you try to edit preferences it crashes.
    This only happens on an citrix session. If I run reader on the server directly it works OK.
    However after reading above I can replicate the problem on the server by moving or deleting the ADMPlugin.apl file.
    Any further ideas at all?

  • Embedding Full-text Index into PDF File

    Hello Everyone,
    I've tried to create and embed full-text index into PDF file, but with no luck. I've followed steps described at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WSC28D4DBB-6A78-4027-9E04-F50FE411CFB9.w. html - there can be seen progress of collecting of data and at the end the button Update index is enabled. This is signal for me that Index was created. After clicking on Ok button, saving document as new one and then reopening "new created" document, there is info that no Index is embedded in the Manage Embedded Index dialog. Is there any other step necessary to do? Or is it bug? Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1 on Windows Vista 32bit is used.
    Jan
    PS: Interesting is also comment at the bottom of above mentioned help page...

    Thanks for the response. It is true that if I make changes and look at the embedded index status, it shows that it needs updating
    However the problem I can't get around after extensive testing is that sometimes for no apparent reason the index is dropped on save. This can happen if I check the status of the index to make sure it is valid, save the file, and reopen it.
    I've concluded that this must be a bug and am using other indexing options for the time being.
