I'm using SCO Unix, with old version of ghostscript (7.7). When I convert the postscript source file to pdf otput file, It's content is visible on the SCO machine. But when I copy the pdf file into windows, and open it with adobe acrobat, all I can see is a blank page. Does anybody have a solution to this?
It may because you have not embedded the fonts in the PDF. Windows did not have the Unix fonts and that is why are seeing a blank page. To be sure, open the PDF in Adobe Reader and press Ctrl+D. Check the fonts tab and see if those fonts are available in Windows. You could try copying the Unix fonts to Windows Fonts folder. But the better approach would be embed the fonts into the PDF on the Unix terminal itself.

I am trying to simply generate pdf file on windows from the command below:
convert 1.png mypdf.pdf
But when I open the generated pdf, it says Something went wrong. See the image below
Install and configure ImageMagick to work with AEM Assets. Then open the generated PDF using Adobe Acrobat Reader or any other document viewer, but Adobe Acrobat is recommended because it is developed by Adobe Inc. who also developed the Portable Document Format (PDF) in 1993.
I'm using Texify plugin for Pycharm to write latex. After running, I have to go manually to "out" folder and open it with Adobe. How to make Pycharm do that automatically?
I see this option but I don't know how to fill it up.
Adobe locking the pdf file is a well-known issue, and so Adobe is not supported by TeXiFy. Depending on which OS you are on, the following pdf viewers are supported (links to TeXiFy wiki pages):
All: internal PDF viewer, via the PDF viewer plugin.
Windows: SumatraPDF
Linux: Evince, Okular, and Zathura
Mac: Skim
where supported means that the pdf automatically opens on compilation and that forward and backward search should work, the latter possibly after some configuration.
When you want to use some other pdf viewer, make sure that it does not lock the pdf file (so Adobe is not possible) and enter the command you would use to open the viewer from the command line in the Select custom pdf viewer command field. This should work on (at least) most Linux and Mac distributions.
Edit
As of TeXiFy b0.7.4 the internal PDF viewer is supported through the PDF viewer plugin.
Alternatively there is a PDF Plugin, to open it within PyCharm, which you can install from the store.

I'd like to open a pdf from whatever location with Acrobat Pro. I have found scripts that open files on my desktop, but what I would like to have is the possibility to open any pdf in whatever location with Acrobat.
How do I go about?
(And before anyone asks: there's a bug in Acrobat XI that somehow messes with the doubleclick feature to open pdfs. So it seems a good idea to have applescript command that.)
I am trying to open an illustrator file in ai cs3. The file was created in a newer version of illustrator and is comprised of 2 pages. when i open the file in cs3, i only get page #1.
how can i extract the second page?
Adobe have made crucial changes in Illusrator CS4 as it can contain multiple(up to 99) artboards in one file. But CS3 opens one artboard at a time.
So, either you can install newer version or open CS4 file with CS4 installed machine and convert it to CS3.
Hope this works. :)
When we're exporting PDFs in Windows they look ok, but when deployed to test server on Linux, they look different, i.e. basically the situation is the same as in http://jasperforge.org/uploads/publish/jasperreportswebsite/trunk/faq.html#FAQ25
So according to Jasper FAQ, I should use the same font for AWT and PDF. But I do not have control over how AWT maps logical fonts to physical fonts (I do it for PDF, I am embedding Arial.ttf in generated PDF).
Do you have any suggestions, what can I do to match fonts that are used by AWT to calculate the size of text and the fonts embedded in PDF?
I'm using Jasper Reports 3.5.3 and I am not allowed to switch to new version.
Use font extensions. This allows you to, for example, specify that the report uses Arial and to provide Arial even if you don't have control over the JVM and in the fonts installed on the machine.
