PDF and Firefox files slight annoyance

Whenever I have a PDF file open in a tab in Firefox, it makes me unable to scroll using my laptop touchpad scrolling. When I use it, even after clicking on my active tab, it actually scrolls the PDF instead of my current tab.

Hi rawbinator,

Have you checked to see if your PDF is updated? I would take a glance files PDF view in Firefox. There is a lot of information in there, and it lists some different add-ons PDF. I would like to try both to see if it is localized to a single.

Hope this helps!

  • How can I add "tags" to PDF and txt files?

    I made the leap from XP to Windows 7.  Under XP, I could edit metadata in almost any file and place "key words" even with the PDF files.  Windows 7 has done away with "Key words" and went to "tags".  I prefer this system, but what I find it horribly frustrating, is that there are several types of files which I can't add "tags".
    (1) is it possible to add "tags" to PDF (in a way that works with the search for system marking of Windows 7)?
    (2) if not, are there any workaround solution (3rd party downloads - who work in the Windows 7 system of tagging metadata)?
    (3) otherwise, it is something that will be fixed in Windows in the future.
    (4) what is the reason for the types of files such as PDF, txt, MP3 with no no not the capabilities of 'tag '?

    PDF and Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.3.1 shell tools worked for me fine... the only issues I have found so far is that I can't add categories and comments... I can change the interface of Windows 7 only the following (which are enough for me): title, author, subject and keywords for Windows 7 keywprds real estate PDF. You can take a look here...

  • I would like to store PDF and jpeg files that I have on my iMac on my iPhone.  How can I transfer them?

    I have a lot of jpg and pdf files on my iMac I want to transfer my iPhone so that I can

    access it when iCloud is not available.  I've tried several programs of 'file manager' of

    the application stores, but is unable to transfer.  What is the solution?

    iOS doesn't have a file system.

    You use a PC or a Mac with iTunes on it?

    For images, there are several ways to get these to your iDevice.

    On a Mac with iTunes and pictures/iPhoto app, the jpeg images should be placed in the library of Photos/iPhotos and with your iDevice connected to sync from the computer to iTunes, under the section Photos to iTunes, you would need to check and synchronize these images to be moved/copied to your iDevice.

    These images appear in the Photos of iOS app.

    It is in no way, I think, to do the same thing with iTunes on the PC that the PC has no app like Photos or iPhoto.

    Another way to copy images on the iPad is to search the apps that transfer of the images via WiFi or Bluetooth, install the application on your iDevice and possibly a companion app for your computer (or the image transfer application is accessible by WIFi or Bluetooth via web browser of your computer) If you can transfer images from anywhere on your computer to your iDevice by transferring wireless in both directions between your computer and your iDevice.

    Images that are transferred to your iDevice light directly to the Photos of iOS on your iDevice app.

    I use an image transfer software called picture transfer application to do this. There are others who make a similar function in the iOS App Store.

    If you want to better organize your images other than that Photos of default iOS application no, there are, in addition, image organization in the iOS App Store apps.

    I use one that organizes images into folders.

    He called HD Photo sorting. It makes the image files duplicated Photos iOS app that you can organize them into folders/subfolders as you want.

    For the two PDF documents AND images, you can configure a DropBox account on your computer, download the application on your computer and your iDevice and store/transfer of PDF files and images in DropBox and then copy them to your iDevice. Photos/images wiil, probably get moved/copied/stored/place in the default Photo iOS app.

    A PDF file can get moved/copied/stored/place in the Apple iBooks app or one of the countless readers/editors of PDF found in the iOS App Store.

    Good luck!

  • Import a .pdf and Ai file into indesign cc

    Hello

    I would like to know if there is a way to import pdf files and the AI in indesign cc 2014?

    Thank you

    If you're wondering how to use a PDF or AI in the form of a graphic in InDesign, file > Place is what you want. If you're wondering how to manipulate elements of a PDF or AI after it was placed in InDesign, this isn't how it works, but you can turn layers on or off in a file placed if you go to object > object layer Options.

  • Sign PDF and embedded files

    Hello.

    I have a PDF file with enbedded files.

  • Masking of PDF and other files on USB

    I'm deploying a number of large-scale aggregation Captivate 4 on a USB for my clients.

    They want to see that the project aggregated, file published in the directory - something called early article I or Start Section II.  They are confused when they see all the file names.   (They do not speak English as a first language...)

    Projects of reference lots of PDF documents and there are also files-8-10 chapters that make up the group project.

    My understanding is that I have to copy all of the PDF files (and all the chapters of Captivate) in the same directory as the publication, aggreagated Captivate files.  Is there a way I can actually have them in another directory?

    (I tried to use the Dos command hide, but my clients do not appreciate the grey files that appear if they have defined properties to show the files hidden file manager).

    Any ideas?

    (I saw an answer for Authorware, but I don't think that this was relevant for Captivate 4.)

    Hello

    Of course, simply create a folder. Perhaps the name active. Then when you create the links to the content, just precede the actual file name with assets /

    So if you have a file named monfichier.pdf, the link would be assets/MyFile.pdf

  • PDF and 3D files that are not in a recognized format

    If I have a 3D file that is not in one of the recognized formats, it is possible to use the Adobe SDK to get Acrobat to read and make a PDF? If it is possible I have a full explanation, I just need to be headed in the right direction.

    Thank you

    Yes, you can.

    See ImportToPRCBrep and ImportToPRCTess for examples of code showing how to put

    your data in 3D PDF (there is also some docs on the analysis and establishment of PRC files and creating 3D Annotations).

    But if the format is complex and rich in features, you will have problems with undocumented parts of the standard of people's Republic of CHINA when writing your converter.

  • How to generate PDF and CHM of the command line files in windows?

  • QuickLook in PDF and JPG broken

    My OSX completely patched 10.11.3 system simply ceased to display previews of PDF and JPG files in the Finder.  Instead of the expected picture, all you see is the ASCII representation of code files.  In addition, Finder was hung a lot, who need to leave me it manually.  Previews of other types of files such as Word documents are very well.

    I rebooted in safe mode with the same result.  I cleaned the cache, repaired permissions, deleted the files in finder preferences and quicklook in each folder preferences (I used the terminal to make sure).  I see no errors in the console complain of bac sand and quicklook (see below) and it seems that spotlight also has problems.

    If I click on the "Open in Preview" button on the quicklook window then I don't see the exact content of the file.

    How can I fix?

    See you soon,.

  • Printing a Web page to a .pdf or .xps file generates a file but it is empty. How can I fix it? I have Firefox 40.0 on a new computer laptop for Windows 10

    When I print a Web page to a .pdf or .xps file, it creates a new file, but file Explorer says it's 0 KB in size. These .pdf files will open, but they are white - the only thing that appears is the outline of a page, without anything in the outline. When I print an .xps file, File Explorer shows that it contains 0 KB. When I try to open it, I get a message saying that the XPS Viewer cannot open the file. These things just started for me a few days after I installed Firefox 40.0 on a new computer laptop of Toshiba Satellite with 10 Home Windows operating system. I have the latest version of Flash Player (in fact, I just tried redownloading and reinstalling the current version; that does not solve the problem). I tried to change the format by default to print to .pdf file, but that has not solved the problem. I contacted the chat Windows support site; They told me that it was not a Windows problem. Is this a Firefox problem? If so, you can tell me how to solve the problem, please?

    Thank you

  • Why Firefox 31 change all icons PDF and open in browser, require a fix by using REGEDIT to set for all USERS on a computer?

    The solution to use REGEDIT in the question linked below almost fixed my problem with PDF files on more than 30 computers with multiple users on each computer:
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/1013642

    But I need to fix for all users on a computer without logging on each account on each computer. My challenge was to log on as an administrator and change the following key of the overall system instead:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.PDF

    Name: by default
    Type: Reg_SZ
    Data: FirefoxHtm

    Changed FirefoxHtm to AcroExch.Document.11 data

    I use Adobe Reader XI on Win7 Pro 64-bit machines.
    The problem started when I ran a file downloaded to install the new version of Firefox on computers.

    Why Firefox would require me to use REGEDIT in this way to solve the problem?

    This only happens when you set Firefox as the default browser and Firefox thinks that there is currently no application PDF file handles.
