Foxit Reader
used this before, without problems. but occasionally, which increased to frequently, and now every sodding time, i pdf reader get a few pages converted, then a blank page, then an error report printed in the document that says: error - stack underflow offending command
Adobe Reader
- stack. wtf?! please help, people's lives are at stake. of all the things in the universe, i am only capable of truly hating computers. Posted 6 years ago # spacemonkey - Member What are you creating the document in, e.g. https://groups.google.com/d/topic/comp.periphs.printers/wkq5sXJLlRM Word, Excel, etc? Which version? Posted 6 years ago # The Flying Ox - Member 1) Download and install OpenOffice. 2) Open document. 3) Go to file menu and choose "Export as PDF". Posted 6 years ago # Mounty_73 - Member I use; http://www.primopdf.com/ Posted 6 years ago # ahwiles - Member Ox - i can't do that, i'm using a 'controlled document' - created in Word, which means the quality office at work will cut my balls off if i start http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/pdf-writer-problems-help-please using openoffice. (it's not just as simple as 'open with swriter - export to pdf, i'd need to re-jig the formatting, which is a no-no with controlled documents) but thanks for trying! what i find incredibly frustrating is that it worked fine last week, no problems whatsoever. Posted 6 years ago # theflatboy - Member might be obvious, but have you tried deleting and reinstalling cute pdf writer? Posted 6 years ago # sharkbait - Member (it's not just as simple as 'open with swriter - export to pdf, i'd need to re-jig the formatting, which is a no-no with controlled documents) Although I don't know what a controlled document is exactly (and am willing to be educated), it is actually that simple - why should you need to re-jig the formatting? But, you may also want to look at Primo PDF which is a free PDF writer - been using it for yars and it's great. Worth a try if you're still stuck. Posted 6 years ago # ahwiles - Member because when i open my word document in open office, it's gone all screwy - all the images have been overlaid in one box, all the text has been squeezed into one box, fonts and sizes have changed - that sort of thing. this particular controlled document is an inspection report; i measured something, someone wants to read about it, i want to write a report for them, i have to do it usin
Adobe Acrobat; other readers simply choke on the document and can't open it. This is caused by the use of a proprietary "secured" document signing feature, apparently exclusive to Adobe Reader, which verifies the authenticity of the transcript. (For comparison, Duke http://www.dzhang.com/blog/2013/03 University provides regular PDFs that can be opened by any reader, but can be verified by uploading the file to a trusted authority who confirms the document's legitimacy.) Stanford's PDFs are particularly annoying because you can't take a screenshot with Print Screen (though the Snipping Tool works), Acrobat won't remove the signature, and attempting to use Acrobat Reader print the PDF to CutePDF simply results in a mostly-blank page with the following text: ERROR: undefined OFFENDING COMMAND: get error undefined STACK: /quit -dictionary- -mark Here's how to un-certify the PDF: Open the secured PDF in Acrobat Reader and "Print to File" (File/Print, click Advanced, and check the box). Note: this step may violate certain laws. Proceed at your own risk. A comment in the file declares that "Removing the following eleven lines is illegal, subject to the Digital Copyright Act of 1998." Open the resulting .ps file in a text editor. Find and delete the following block: mark error undefined offending currentfile eexec ... stuff here ... cleartomark Then, use ps2pdf or similar to convert the PostScript file to PDF. This entire step can be accomplished with the following: $ sed '/mark currentfile eexec/,/cleartomark/d' secured.ps \ | ps2pdf - unsecured.pdf For Stanford transcripts, the pages need to be rotated clockwise, so use pdftk: $ pdftk input.pdf cat 1-endE output output.pdf Tags: secured, pdf, stanford | Posted at 14:51 | Comments (4) Where to get/download LSIUtil Friday, March 22, 2013 LSIUtil is a handy tool for configuring some LSI RAID controllers, including the SAS 6/iR I have in my Dell box: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08) I'll leave the usage guides to others, but I'll mention one issue I had. I recently ran into Redhat Bug 512613 - Smartmontools cause hard drives behind a SAS controller to get dropped (or perhaps a similar bug), where I used smartctl to query /dev/sgX which promptly knocked one of my drives offline. The controller (via mpt-status) reported the disk to be MISSING and OUT_OF_SYNC, and Linux could not see it at all. I tried all kinds of things, but in the end, even LSIUtil and reboots did not fix it and I had to go to the datacenter, physically disconnect the "missing" drive, and then reconnect it. At that point, the RAID array began resyncing. In the process, I found tha
