Adobe Reader displaying strange characters

Hello! I am writing my uni task. For that I downloaded a .pdf document from my university, which has text boxes for me to fill in. I do not know how/with which program this file was created. I first tried dealing with it using the Windows 8 Reader app. Several times, when I switched from the document to the Desktop and back, all my text was converted into strange characters. I started saving the document before switching, and this seemed to solve the problem at first. But then at some point I saved and closed it, and when I opened it the next time, only the box I modified last (with an essay) was converted into strange characters. When I copy it somewhere, the text does not appear. I tried opening the thing with Adobe Reader. It does not convert anything into weird symbols, but the ones from the previous time remain. Is there any way I can get the information back?
Here's the whole 'strange character' bit:

The box I was talking about is the very last one.
The Adobe ReaderI started using recently is version XI; the one I used when I started editing the document was Windows 8 Reader app by Microsoft, version 6.2.8516.0.

  • Adobe Reader displays text incorrectly as a thin grainy font

    Adobe Reader displays text incorrectly as a thin grainy font. How do I fix it?

    I think I counted three tabbed panels in the markup, each with an ID of TabbedPanels1
    You have only one constructor that makes one instance of the tabeed panels with an ID of TabbedPanels1
    There are a couple of things that create the problem.
    There can only be one ID with the same name in a document, thus the ID's of the TabbedPanels will need to change from TabbedPanels1 for the second and third instances to TabbedPanels2 and TabbedPanels3 (or similar) respectively.
    There needs to be a constructor for each tabbed panels like
    var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("TabbedPanels1");
    var TabbedPanels2 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("TabbedPanels2");
    var TabbedPanels3 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("TabbedPanels3");

  • Mac Mail is displaying strange characters

    My Mac Mail is displaying these strange characters on a number of seemingly random emails from people. However, when I copy the message and paste it into a word document or the internet browser address bar it converts these "letter A in a box" characters into what the words actually were. But this is a hassle and I'd rather just be able to read the text directly in my mail application... Thanks for the help.. hopefully it is a simple fix.

    You're very welcome.
    That's a very common problem

  • Mail displaying strange characters

    Hello
    I was previously using Thunderbird, but when I saw how nice Mail is, I switched over. Now I am starting to rethink, because it's displaying some very strange characters without reason. What could be the cause of this? Here is a screenshot (I blurred out people's names): <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/davidjohn/miscellaneous/Picture2.pn g" border="0"</a>

  • Why is Adobe Reader displaying predominantly in B&W?

    While setting up a different XP computer (Dell 430 with XP SP3) I found certain PDF documents were not displaying with proper colors.  Were mainly in B&W with just a little color.  The same file displays properly with various versions of Adobe Reader on other computers.
    A file that would not display properly is (London Tube Map).
    http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf
    I've uploaded a JPEG of what the bad display looks like - If you know the London Underground map you will see the problem!
    Problem exists when viewing as an Internet Explorer 7.0 plug-in or with downloaded version of same file.
    I checked all Reader preference settings particulary Accessibility - all seem the same as on a working computer
    I updated Reader from 8.1.3 to 9.2 - problem remains.
    I uninstalled / re-installed Reader - problem remains
    I updated my Intel GMA graphics driver - problem remains
    Any idea? - Thanks

    Thanks Michael.
    Problem remains.
    I have plenty of RAM an Disk space.
    I have tried turning off graphics acceleration - Display Properties - Settings - Advanced - Troubleshoot - None + disabled Write Combining all to no effect.
    I had have the latest Dell supported 945GM Graphics driver.  However, I did download and install a much newer driver directly from Intel.  Intially got message to say 'this driver not validated for my computer', but did a work around using an 'install from disk procedure'.
    New driver works but the PDF display problem remains as before.
    I then deinstalled and reinstalled Adopbe Reader 9.2 yet again, but still problem remains.
    Anyone got any further suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Adobe Reader displaying PDF's incorrectly

    I have created a pdf file using Apple Pages. When this file is opened using Apple Preview is displays correctly. When I open it using a browers (Safari or Chrome) it displays correctly. If I open tye file using Adobe Reader on either a Mac or PC the fonts are all jaggie & incorrectly kerned. Printing the file from Adobe Reader results in a perfect print. Any thoughts?

    Are you sure you aren't just seeing the preview of the PDF in the email body? If so, all you will see is the first page. You would have to open the PDF to see the rest of the pages.
    Email the PDF to yourself, save it to your desktop, then open it. Are all the pages there?
    If it actually IS turning in to a .jpg (offhand I can't think of any reason it would) then it's something your email client is doing.

  • Google search displays strange characters before search, firefox 3.6.7, ubuntu 10.04

    I get these strange characters when I go to Google search using Firefox 3.6.7 and Ubuntu 10.04.......see below

    What is going on....It reads OK using Chromium. I can't read anything. I am using Firefox 3.6.7. My View....character encoding is set to :
    Western(ISO-8859-1) and auto detect "on"
    == ?

    Just to update this topic if anyone else has the issue. I've fixed it by manually amending the following setting in about:config -
    Preference name: intl.accept_languages
    Value: en-gb, en
    If you're in the US you'd use ''en-us, en'' instead.
    I then re-ran Firefox Sync and now on the Windows machines this value shows up as User Defined instead of default and this is now kept when syncing (I'm assuming the default values are not included when syncing preferences, for obvious reasons).

  • Adobe Reader display page and text in tool bar and options too large.  How can this be reduced?

    My Adobe Reader (ver. XI) page for viewing and manipulating docs and the text in tool bar and menus is too large and I cannot reduce its size.   I cannot add but a few functions on the tool bar without them reverting to the drop down.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe XI and that has not helped.  Do not have this problem with other software so I know its not the resolution settings of computer.
    Any way to reduce the size of the "viewing page" and its text?  I can change the size of the doc I am viewing but not the items of the page that displays the doc.
    Thanks.

    Maybe this will help: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/hi-dpi-retina-display-support.html

  • Adobe Reader X - strange behavior at failed instalation

    I do not remember if I have ever any problems with installation of the Adobe Reader since I guess version 5 or 6.
    But I am not able to install Adobe Reader X at all, using Adobe Reader 9.4.x on Vista64 Home Premium SP2.
    I use Avast Free AV and Comodo CIS without AV.
    Initially I did not turned them off as it was not ever needed.
    I have I guess twice or 3 times downloaded install_reader10_cz_mssd_aih.exe   30 kB online setup file.
    After launching it under alevated admin privilage ( normally working on limited account ) the strange things started to happen.
    Process Explorer showed the new and new processes arising,
    adding endless chain of "_1" suffixes to original install_reader10_cz_mssd_aih name.
    After killing I realize, the original setup exe file from the download storage disappeared.
    In the TEMP folder there was left file install_reader10_cz_mssd_aih_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_ 1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_ 1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1.exe
    of the same size ( 730 kB )
    No setup GUI or dialog windows appears, no error is raised.
    Interesting thing is the same happens if I try to install Adobe Flash player online by elevated Firefox.   (  install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1.exe   )
    If I use my usual way by downloading setup from here   fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    everything does well.
    The same above happened when I switched OFF on access scanners of AV, and FW and HIPS features of the Comodo CIS.
    Regular Avast AV checks and SuperAntimalware/MBAM checks did not shown in last years any active infection.
    No similar problems with instalation of other software.

    You may want to try the following.
    Remove all traces of Reader (not only the program) from your system using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can still download it from from places like
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Then, you can download the Reader installer either form the ftp site or from here
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    and perform a clean install.

  • Reader displays strange fonts in the application (documents not affected)

    Hello all,
    I am running the latest version of the Adobe Reader on Mac OS X Yosemite. When I open a portfolio file the application seems to use one of the fonts installed on my machine (specifically, it uses the Adventure Font). It appears normal when using the "layout" way of displaying the documents contained in the portfolio. See below:
    However, when I switch do "documents" in the top bar ("Dateien" in german), it uses the adventure Font for the file name, its dates, size etc. It looks like this:
    As you can see here, the font is also used for the table headings. Needless to say this is all kinds of terrible. It makes me want to punch the screen. Luckily, everything else appears normal.
    Does anybody know how I can change this? It's been this way since I installed the program and opened the portfolio and I haven't so far been able to change this. I never chose this font on purpose...
    regards,
    klnsmn

    Nothing? I hope this is not the way the program is supposed to be working....

  • Acrobat Reader Prints Strange Characters

  • Adobe Reader Display Issues with low color

    We use Terminal Services, and they use lower color.
    PDF's display fine in reader 7, but in reader 8 or 9 some PDF's will show blocks of black instead of text, that then flickers and changes color when scrolling through the document.
    This only happens when viewing files in low color (as I said we use terminal services with windows 2000, so we must use low color)
    Is there anything that can be done about this???

    known bug on terminal server. You will need to stay with Acrobat 7. It is a resolution issue as Windows 2000 on a terminal server only supports 8 bit color.

  • JNI: printf displays strange characters

    Hi,
    i'm tryng to understand how JNI works...
    I've writen a simple class in Java and i'm trying to pass a variable to a native method ...
    This is my java class
    public class Encrypt {
         static {
              System.loadLibrary("endecrypt");
         public native void encRec(byte[] p1);
         private static void encryptFile() {
              String p1 = "12345678";
              new Encrypt().encRec(p1.getBytes());
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              encryptFile();
    }This is the native C method
    #include <jni.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
         JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_Encrypt_encRec(JNIEnv *jenv, jobject jobj, jbyteArray p1) {
              jboolean isCopy = 0;
              unsigned char *pwd1;
              pwd1 = (unsigned char *)(*jenv)->GetByteArrayElements(jenv, p1, &isCopy);
              printf("[log - ENCRYPT]...........");printf("\n");
              printf("[log - pwd1] "); printf(pwd1);printf("\n");
              (*jenv)->ReleaseByteArrayElements(jenv, p1, pwd1, 0);          
              return 0;
         }and this is my bat file
    javac Encrypt.java                                                                               
    javah -o encrypt_jni.h Encrypt                                                                     
    cl -IC:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\include -IC:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\include\win32 -LD Encrypt.c -Feendecrypt.dll    
    java Encrypt                                                                                     
    pause                                                                                             when i run it the result i get is:
    [log - ENCRYPT]...........
    [log - pwd1] 12345678@&#9787;&#9787;The question is: What are the strage characters at the end of the password? What am i doing wrong?

    Your original byte array just contained the characters "12345678" and
    you were just lucky that there was an ASCII NUL (one ell) character
    in the vicinity before the entire thing dumped core against you.
    Using C, a string is defined as a bunch of ASCII characters terminated
    by a NULL (one ell, all bits zero) character. Java uses a different approach:
    a byte array knows what its length is. The decision is up to you: supply
    a NUL byte to the C stuff for convenience or use the supplied length
    from the byte array when you're in the C part of the JNI barrier.
    kind regards,
    Jos
