Replace PDF files

How is it, my PDF files, which was in Adobe reader and attachments that I receive now come in Microsoft Windows Photo Gallery instead of the Adobe Reader.  That has changed this last week and it baffles me, because I did not change anything.  The files will not open in the photo gallery.  He told me that they are not supported or that I don't have the latest version of photo gallery.  I get updates of Windows, why would not the Windows Photo Gallery updated as well for support files.

I have now, first save the file, and then manually tell it to open in Adobe Reader, when before, all I had to do is click on it.  The files I saved in folders on my desk are also in this new format, rather than the Adobe Reader software, they were always in front.  I don't understand why all these files modified.

Hello

Find a pdf file if your file system somewhere, or copy a PDF of email to your file system. Right-click on this file and then click Open with...

In the window that result, select Adobe Reader (by clicking it) and check the box "always use the selected program to open this type of file". Click OK.

Or (re-) install the latest version of Acrobat Reader.

  • You will need to replace existing Web site pdf file. Help, please!

    Our intern left this summer and we are clueless on Dreamweaver. We have a Spry Menu with a link to a pdf file of our employment application. Our application has been reviewed, and we need to replace it on the Web site.

    From what we have gathered, Spry Menu Widget is no longer available for download, and we cannot change the link in a new file via the widget because the intern took his notebook with the installed widget.

    So to do this, I downloaded the files from the website my Local folder, deleted the old application employment pdf file and replaced it with the new application with the same exact filename than the old.

    My question is... If I point out the new application in our local folder and click on download, it makes the link in the menu to go to the new application?

    Thanks for you help in advance!

    Okay, of course. If we were to replace a pdf file linked in our spry menu bar. We had the widget and do not think that you could download it, then we went to the folder on the lower right part of the screen and open the remote folder. We then highlighted all files except for the / at the top of the file. Then we clicked on the arrow down to copy these files in our local folder. Once they have been uploaded, we went in the local and found the file folder that we needed to switch out. We then deleted this file, named our new file the same exact file name and clicked and dragged from our computer to the folder containing the file that we removed. Then we have highlighted in this file, click right and choose 'PUT', as Jon had instructed us to do above. Downloaded the file. When it was over, we checked our website and got an error because the pages would not load. However, a few minutes later, we tried again and everything worked perfectly. The new PDF had replaced a former and always connected correctly the MenuBar.

  • Rectangles, replacing text in PDF files

    Recently, I started having a problem with vertical rectangles replace text in my PDF files.  I always see when I try to combine PDF files.  The files seem to be fine, but after I complete the merge, the pages now have vertical rectangles.  The problem was reported a couple of weeks, when my users have reported what seemed like PDFs "corrupt".  I have now discovered thaqt the problem is much more common that I suspected.  I thought I could just replace the corrupted pages, but when I replace the corrupted pages (or remove and then insert), new pages will be rectangles.

    I tried several versions of Adobe Reader and on a variety of devices.

    PDF sample.jpgAny help would be greatly appreciated.

    Example above.

    This happens sometimes when you don't have the original embedded fonts. In the file that shows rectangles, is there a list of fonts under file > properties > tab fonts that are not embedded?

  • Save as PDF replaces open file

    Hey community!

    I hope everyone had a great holiday labor day and is pleased the weather cools to come in the next few months.

    Here is what is happening.  I work in a small marketing department that does little pamphlets and brochures that we deliver in PDF format to our customers. I use Illustrator most.  When I work on what either its a file in Illustrator I as described in the window that I work in (example: FileName.ai @ some % (preview CMYK/GPU).)  When I save this file into a PDF file via "save under", Illustrator will have nomdefichier.pdf @ some % (preview CMYK/GPU) in the name of the file in the window of the open workspace.

    So my question, is there a way to change the settings for that, when I record on a .pdf of an .ai the .ai file will remain open the file and not move on to the pdf format?

    I appreciate help or advice that is will can have!

    Use rather "Save a Copy".

  • Why the CD player replace default 'use Acrobat Pro' to open pdf files?

    Had to install the CD player to open online pdf files. Already have Acrobat Pro. After the installation of the drive of DC and despite repeated together "use this application to open pdf files" Acrobat Pro, CD player overrides this setting. Seems so new versions of programs... as, for example, Windows 10... are programmed by nerds who seem to think they know more about what a user wants to that user only. Sites now offer pdf files requiring a CD to open, but this version now seems to have the attitude "to hell with what you want to do." I want only to set Acrobat Pro as my default application to open pdf files. How can I do this? And, Adobe, why do you think that you know better than I what I want? < Nothing new, by the way; I had to do to make the script processing in PhotoShop, because it substitutes for my choices for the target files and your technicians had no idea how to solve this problem, with workarounds.

    Hi brucec3514345,

    Acrobat Reader DC has been defined as the once its installed default PDF Viewer, this is a behavior of design. However, you can change the default program, open Acrobat, navigate to the Edit-> Preferences-> General-> click "set as my default pdf reader.

    Click OK to confirm the changes.

  • My PDF files are now identified as documents HTML Firefox, how to fix? (only changed icons, extension is .pdf)

    After I uninstalled Firefox, all the icons back to normal PDF icons and files have been identified as a "PDF" files
    but when I installed Firefox (31.0) still once, all PDFs are still identified as "Firefox HTML document.
    Extensions do not change, they always are .pdf and files open automatically in Adobe Acrobat format.
    but the icons have become icons "firefox HTML documents" and it's very confusing.

    It works for my XP Home:

  • why I can't open a link to a PDF file in a new tab?

    I want to click on a link in an email that I was sent just to my teacher after his seminary, which is supposed to open a PDF of the info. But when I right click on it and select open in a new tab, only a white page! But, since I KNOW there must be a correct link, I've tried around and found another way: if I select, "save link as", a window appears and allows me to save it as an adobe PDF file in my computer drive, I can then open and read. Why?
    I mean, what could be the problem? I have never had a problem before you no longer can something right click and select "Open in new tab" and make it work just that like, without the extra steps!

    A link can have several different handwritings in the annex that replace the normal behavior. It is actions that occur when you click (mouse down followed by mouse) a mouse button is pressed on the link (the mouse down) or when he is released on the link (the mouse upward). Usually the right click > open in new tab/window those who will bypass.

    However, in some cases, when you hover over a link you sometimes see that she has no destination address, or seems to be pointing to the same page or starts with javascript:. In these cases, the right click operation fails because it copies this link does not exist or dysfunctional instead of running the script attached to the link.

  • PDF files has disappeared before my eyes!

    Hello

    I opened iBooks to show my references at a job interview recently, and after posting icons for no more than two seconds, they disappeared in front of my eyes, never to be seen again and with all other PDFs in iBooks.

    It is a replacement for a defective iPad that was restored from backup.  I have implemented a PDF Library over a long period of time and have never had this problem before and iBooks has not been updated since the restoration, either just before the backup.  Update of what happened before the iOS today.

    Anyone know why this happened please?  I lost confidence in my iPad - as I did not work and the knowledge that my references can only have tipped the balance in my favor.

    Thank you very much

    Carol

    PDF documents in the iBooks app are not included in the actual backup, restoration comes to pick up the books from the iTunes library section (application iBooks if you use a Mac with her on this subject). As well as saving the old iPad, fact that you produce > devices > transfer purchases to copy over (what to copy a PDF or EPUB file in the iBooks, not only of real iBooks app) - and, if you use a Mac with iBooks on it, then do file > move iTunes inside books? If the restoration was not able to copy them to the new iPad, you might temporarily see their covers of the iBooks app when you first open, but they will disappear when it does not find the actual PDF files.

  • DeskJet 2540 all-in-one: Deskjet 2540 only prints PDf files

    I got a 2540 for my grandfather a few weeks ago. When I put to him that it worked fine. Now, however it will only print opend with Adobe pdf files and I have no idea why.

    Any other print command will result in a blank page or a page with a few veins of black or color. It will not display even a test page.

    This could very easily be a problem with the machine of my grandfather because it is very old and running Windows XP 32-bit. I also have no way to connect his machine on the internet before taking him home and update mine and I prefer not to do so.

    I tried to download the drivers on an external device and then editing them, but that has done nothing to solve this problem.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the replies

    It is black ink. It must have been damaged as when I replaced it with a new one that he started printing very well. The reason why that worked the pdf was because it was all in color and like the fool that I am, I have not noticed.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    Hi stevejoneschris

    ·          You are able to download other files?

    ·          This problem occurs with only Adobe files?

    ·          What was the error that you received when you tried to download?

    Try the following steps:

    Step 1: Configure the browser to open PDF files in the browser window

    When you install Acrobat or Adobe Reader on a system that includes a browser, you automatically configure the browser to open PDF files in the browser window. Acrobat and Adobe Reader install the ActiveX plugin files allow you to use Internet Explorer to open PDF files. If an application is installed, but do not open the PDF files in the browser window, work through the following steps to configure the browser:

    1. make sure that the system meets the requirements for the product that you use Acrobat: Acrobat may not work correctly if the system does not meet the following requirements:

    -Intel Pentium processor

    -Microsoft Windows XP Professional or home edition with Service Pack 1 or 2, or Tablet PC Edition, or Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2

    -128 MB of RAM (256 MB recommended)

    -460 (Professional) or 360 MB (Standard) of available disk space; Optional installation files cache (recommended) requires 300 MB of additional free disk space.

    -1024 x 768 (Professional) or 800 x 600 screen resolution (Standard)

    -Drive, if installing from a CD

    -Internet Explorer 5.5 or later version

    2 make sure that the ActiveX folder contains the files required for web browsing: to open PDF files in a browser window, the ActiveX folder should contain the following files: Acropdf.dll; AcroIEHelper.dll; Gbdetect.dll; and Pdfshell.dll. If one of these files is missing, repair Acrobat or Adobe Reader by selecting help > detect and repair, or reinstall the application. You can find the Active X file in Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 7.0

    3 use a supported browser version: make sure that you use a browser support Acrobat and Adobe Reader, such as Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher.

    4 restart Windows after you install Acrobat or Adobe Reader to update the Windows registry: to make sure that the Windows registry provides the information of your web browser should display PDF files, restart Windows. If the Windows registry is not updated after the installation of Acrobat, the web browser can not find the references it needs to access the PDF files on the web.

    5 remove earlier versions of Acrobat or Adobe Reader: if you have an older version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader is installed on the system, remove it using the Add / Remove programs in Windows.

    6 repair Acrobat: if you use Acrobat, repair or replace the damaged or missing files by using the detect and repair feature or the dialog box add or remove programs.

    To repair Acrobat:

    1. choose Start > Control Panel.

    2. double-click on add or remove programs.

    3. Select Acrobat, then click on modify.

    4. follow the on-screen instructions to repair the Acrobat.

    7 reinstall Acrobat or Adobe Reader.

    Step 2: Configure the browser to open PDF files in Acrobat window

    If you want the browser to open PDFs in a separate Acrobat window, to set the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application. Then, when you select a PDF file in Internet Explorer, the browser opens the PDF file in an Acrobat window instead of the browser window.

    To configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open PDF files:

    1. exit Internet Explorer.

    2. launch Acrobat or Adobe Reader.

    3 Choose Edition > Preferences.

    4. Select Internet in the list on the left.

    5 disable the display option IN the browser, and then click OK.

    6. restart Internet Explorer.

    Note: The next time you select a link to a file PDF, the browser may ask you to open or save the file. If you choose to open the file, the browser opens the file in the support application that you specified. If you choose to save the file, the browser downloads the file to the hard drive.

    Step 3: Download of a PDF file on your hard drive

    You can download a PDF file on the hard drive of a web page link. Download of PDF files does not require the ActiveX plug-in file must be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after you download it, you must have Adobe Reader installed).

    To download a PDF file from a link:

    1. right click on the link to a PDF file, then choose Save target as on the shortcut menu.

    2. in the Save dialog box under, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.

  • C7180 - cannot print pdf files. How do I know if I have the latest drivers?

    Unable to print pdf files.  There is no option to print, just as an icon with Adobe info - press something in the advanced options are not an option on this printer.  Magenta ink expired msg continues when even he was replaced.

    Michael!  Something that worked.  I printed a pdf of pg 4!  Here, it is a print option, but he was off the screen, and I noticed I did scroll to the bottom of the page that the printer has been change to fax, send to a single Note, Journal, etc.  I think I've probably hit the? next to the help when I haven't seen print and quit - every time.  Thank you so much, that solved a big problem.

    Someone else had put the partial reset online as a way to solve the problem of outdated cartridge - it did not help this problem, I still "magenta to expiration" - which was replaced.

    Very grateful I can print pdf! Yes.
