The Story
*Someone sent me a Docu-sign document to sign
- I signed it
- I got the email back with the PDF
- I Saved the PDF to my ubuntu machine
- I tried to open the PDF I just saved, but got the message “The Document contains no pages” message. Couldn’t open.
Note: This only happens with docu-sign and not other great systems like Sign Request so Docu-sign must think they are pretty special and secure – so secure you can’t open the PDF…
The Solution
To get it back in a usable format so I can actually open and read what I signed was this:
- Drag and drop the PDF onto a Firefox browser tab (probably works in any browser, though)
- Using the printer icon (not the download / save icon) pretend to print the document from your Firefox browser
- Choose “save as PDF” as your printer
- Go back to where you just ‘printed’ it and make sure it’s good
That’s it. Hope it helps!
