How to restore a pdf file that is damaged

I have pdf files on an external drive that I can not open

As a general rule, if a pdf file is damaged, it is not repairable. If you have it on a portable hard drive, you can try to copy it to your hard drive and open it but that may not work either (rare when it does).

Advice from sarah above may work IF you can get it to open in a browser, and IF you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat and not just the free reader.

  • How can I index PDF files that reside on a Unix server?

    I was amazed the week last to discover that our Web site does not support PDF research opportunities. Apparently, we're going to get it soon. But when that day comes, I think we need to index our PDFs. I know I can do it for a Windows Server. But, how can I do to a Unix server?

    Thank you

    No, not at all. "Indexing" is a stange inconsistent term used for this connection. I guess you really want is a search engine that includes PDF as HTML content. The term 'indexing' might mean 'account with all the text in a file and the addition of words available for research.

    Acrobat uses "Indexing" to mean precisely creating a set of files used by Acrobat itself to find several PDF files. But it is a thing of local file, not a web thing. In this way the indexing of PDF files must be used on the web is bad, but also not good.

    There are two main approaches to web search engines.

    1 premises. Software runs on the local computer and can read the files on the web site. In fact a kind of file, may be called an index. Local software on the web server uses this information to display that you lead.

    2 remote connection. Google is a prime example of this. Visits of the websites ("spiders") to play the files, made his own 'index' and the research on the sites.

    Google (and other search engines) are often seen only as a means of the world wide web to research. But they can be used to search for single servers in their list of everyone, as in https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=indexing+Pdfs+site%3Aadobe.com

    An interesting variation of what was for sale a few years ago, is the "google appliance" for use on private networks (intranets). He was sitting on the local network and done things like google but only with the local network. Then, there was a 'local google' for all local machines.

    One last thing: your customers are not likely to find satisfying if she must search for PDF files and the HTML format of research with a different engine.

  • How to convert a PDF file that contains an image (picture) with added text typewriter (numbers next to faces) in a JPEG file?

    I'm trying to convert a PDF to JPEG.  The PDF file contains a picture JPG (photo of a group of people) which I added text (numbers next to each face) using the Acrobat typewriter function.  When I use Save as and select JPEG saved file does not contain the added text.  I tried to export the file and got the same results.  Is it possible to save the PDF modified with the addition of text to a new JPEG file?

    Hi ticor17,

    If you used the Pack of PDF from Adobe to create a PDF file, it was recorded on your account online at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. Sign in to your account and click on the files tab, then select the file you want to save on your computer. Then, simply click the link to download at the top of the list of files.

    Please let us know how it goes.

  • How to make a pdf file that can be downloaded, completed and saved and then sent; Acrobat 9 Pro; Windows

    Hello

    I hope that this has not been asked before, but I really need to find a way to do it.   We take forms in Word, convert using the wizard and then the only way that I can understand how to fill in a position and then be saved must distribute by electronic mail.  This won't work for me, I need to put on a Web site so that they don't rely on me to get the forms.

    Any help is appreciated.   Here is a link to a site of work here in washington state that has exactly what I need. If can clarify what I'm talking about.


    Best, Mary

    The form that I created, I wanted only the user to fill out... not to make any other changes in the form itself.  In order to do that you need to restrict access, and the only way I found to do it is to put safety on the form before taking another step (extend features in Adobe Reader).

    It would be nice to know if there is another way to achieve the same goal.
