Why a pdf file doesn't have a strange characters in the text?
I downloaded a PDF from a site of insurance about a year without problem. Using the same computer and browser (Safari) I just downloaded the latest version of this pdf file and the first page or 2 appear normal, but the number of pages after that is unreadable. Text characters are OK, but most look like they are in a foreign language font (maybe). The company sent me a copy of the file attached to an e-mail that they say is readable on their end, but it still has the same problems as before. I also tried to download it in Chrome and Firefox, but it makes no difference. Is there a solution to this problem? Thank you.

I have installed and reinstalled the latest version of Adobe Reader at least two times, but I still get the same problem - I cannot print PDF on paper using my local printer.
Additional information that might be useful:
* The printer is connected and tested, and engravings from other programs like MS Word.
* I can print from Adobe Reader PDF format using a program like BullZIP, but is obviously not useful.
* I tested several PDF files, I see that's not the type of PDF (if it contains macros or fields or other).
* The exact error messages are 'the document could not be printed' and "There is no pages selected to print" in two separate areas of popup.
These two options help in most cases; Open Adobe Reader | Change | Preferences
- under protection (strengthened), disable the Protected Mode
- under Documents, change documents in Mode/a: Never

Why do we say that I have to add characters to the address when I try to send an email
whenever I try to send an email a pink line comes and tells me that I must add charaters at the address that I send email to because they're trying to protect me against spam. but they have not told me what I should add to the characters. I am at my wits end and really tired to turn on my computer and there is something new that I can't do... I tried to restore to the time before the last update, but it did not work. Anyone know why? It has nothing to do with me is wrong with MacAfee, but a different virus scanner provider?
Please, help me, because I don't know what to do. I've only had this computer since February of this year and this is my first. I really am a novice and I feel taken advantage of and I feel like I'm being strong armed. I'm at my wits end.
Hi JoanneWiebe,
What email program are you using on your computer?If you use Windows Live Hotmail, I think what you see is the character challenge that requires you to enter the characters displayed on the screen to make sure you're the one send the email, and that you are not an automated system to send spam e-mails to several e-mail addresses:For any Windows Live or Hotmail related issues, please visit:Experts specialize in all things, Windows Live and Hotmail. -
Problem opening pdf files. I have Acrobat DC/Windows by default, but when I click on the file, a file conversion screen now with all these language codes. Must use the "open with" function which is a nuisance. Why it will not open by default when I click on the file?
Hello
I guess that you are looking for this:
Open drive
Go in Edition > Preferences > General
Uncheck the option, the online storage see the opening of the files
Click OK and restart
Thank you

Whenever I start my computer, I get the message: "this file doesn't have a program associated with to perform this action...". "for my external drives. I use these daily backup USB drives. It seems that the backup will run, if I acknowledge this message by clicking OK. If this is not the case - it won't. Why is that happening and how can I solve this problem?
You can repair the associations used to readers. One of my fellow MVPS, Shawn (no relationship lol) has default binding settings in his site here:
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html
Just scroll down to find the link of 'reader', click it, and launches the link. You can do the same thing with "folder" and "directory" to be thorough.

Hi MattD5967,
1. you install a manual download?
Try to reset Windows Update components and check if this solves the problem.
How to reset the Windows Update components?
http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/971058If the suggestion provided above does not resolve the problem then I suggest you to install the updates using the cleanboot.
Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

Print my pdf files is no longer. After pressing PRINT the 'Print to File' window pops up and I have to press SAVE under to go to the next step. Once the pdf file is saved it is therefore more a pdf but a PRN file. An error message appears when I try to print the PRN file. I need to be able to print my original pdf files. Please notify.
Looks like you somehow accidentally active the option print to file in the Advanced Options print dialogue. Uncheck that and this problem should go away.

I have a protected PDF file. I have the password. How to convert to Word? The export tool will fail because it has a password (even if the doc is open)
Hi stupiddonkey,
You will need to remove the password from the file (using Acrobat, not reader) before you can convert it to Word. To do this, choose file > properties, and then click the Security tab choose no security in the context menu of the security method and enter the password when you are prompted.
Best,
Sara

I am currently using Adobe Acrobat Pro and cannot use thumbnail images in some of my PDF files. I have not upgraded and have always the possibility to use with certain PDF files, but not all. Help, please!
Version: Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

I found the solution:
In the PDF file, click View > Navigation panel > Pages
I had to reset panels to view the Pages again.
Thank you!

Need to the tab of each document (Word or PDF) being converted/combined into a single PDF file. Only have an online account. Is this possible online?
Hi pjj,.
When you open the Bookmarks pane (the second icon from the top in the column the leftmost in Acrobat), you will see a bookmark for each file that has been attached to create the PDF. If you have created the combined file from Acrobat.com, however, file names are changed, it won't be as easy to say what are the components. If you create the file in Acrobat, then bookmarks retain the name of the original file, so your customer will be able to tell at a glance if everything was included.
Best,
Sara
