I can view pdfs in the chrome browsers from webpages, but when I try to "open in" and "copy to adobe reader" on my iPad it downloads the file often under the name "out" instead of the original file name , but is unable to open in adobe which gives me the error:"The document canno be opened because it is corrupted or damaged".
Same goes for saving on iCloud, Dropbox or google drive. I just want to open pdfs from the web in chrome in adobe on my iPad--it's the primary intended use for my new device and I am unable to do it. Please help! Posted on Oct 9, PM.
Oct 9, PM in response to Diana. McCall In response to Diana. Thanks for the quick response! It saves a pdf just fine, but when I click on it in any of the apps , it opens as a blank screen not a blank page of a pdf as though there's nothing there.. I only recently purchased the iPad, so all my software and apps are up to date. Oct 9, PM. Page content loaded. This may actually be an Adobe problem.
I assume you're viewing the pdf in iOS Chrome. You select the Adobe application and it fails to download the document correctly. Is that correct? I use the GoodReader app, and this process still works for me. If you're using the normal send to button next to the URL bar, try touch and hold instead.
You could also check for an Adobe update. We seem to be talking at cross purposes. In iOS Chrome, I'm not aware of any option to save a pdf or other file. This allows Chrome to send the URL to other apps, which then import the file themselves. Is that the method you're using? Note that this is not possible for all pdfs, maybe because their owners want to block downloads.
If you're using some other technique, please describe it. Yes, I'm using the Open In function--that's what I meant by save a pdf as I can have it available on the iPad in my local documents in Adobe to access without connectivity which I can annotate and highlight etc.
I tap on the pdf in the browser window to select the "open in", and select the option to copy to Adobe. I can only view the pdf in the web browsers. I've tried this with multiple pdfs from multiple sources from external websites that don't require logins and aren't encrypted and none of the pdfs work. And yes, all my software and apps are up to date.
And, incidentally, I've used this method on my iPhone 5 for years to view and "save" pdfs in adobe locally on my phone so I can access them even in airplane mode etc. If you're used to a computer, where you can just toss files around and open them with any application that works, you need to recognize that iOS isn't like that.
Each iOS app manages its own data as objects. So, when you try to open a pdf in Adobe, Chrome hands the URL to Adobe and it downloads the file to store inside itself. I've just tested this process with both GoodReader and the Apple iBooks app, both of which work fine.
And my pattern is similar to yours. Download Tutorials Video. Save Emails and Attachments. Download email messages and file attachments from Gmail to your Google Drive. Google Forms Email Notifications. Send email notifications to multiple people when a new Google Form is submitted. Document Studio. But does that continue to be the case? This is going to sound too good to be true, but with the latest Chrome update for iOS, you can now save PDF files that you open in Chrome directly to iBooks!
Tap it. Chrome should now open a Share pane that lists a completely different set of actions to what's normally accessible via the Share icon at top of the browser You can then make use of the various cool markup tools present within iBooks to add comments and annotations easily.
After making the changes, you can also mail the file directly from within the app itself. Pretty useful if you want to add the file over to a note. But the real deal lies with the Save to Files option.
Just tap it, and Chrome should open the Files app. You can also navigate to any sub-folder within the listed locations. Very intuitive and super-easy to use. After selecting your preferred location, simply tap Add, and voila, your file should be saved to the selected location.
Now, copying the file over to iBooks doesn't give you much options when it comes to managing the file.
