Black boxes appear instead of figures

Hello,
I am having a problem reading downloaded pdfs in Acrobat X Pro (on a PC): in many figures (or in random places on the page), black boxes will appear instead of graphs/tables/figures (or one column or another). If I open the pdf in my browser I don't have a problem.
I think it may be connected to a related problem in which highlighted text was appearing as completely blacked out--that I managed to fix by changing the transparency of my highlight. Perhaps it's something to do with my color management?
I have installed updates and repaired my installation of Acrobat.

Hi ajanela,
Are the black boxes only where you'd expect to see images? If so, please choose Edit  > Preferences, and click the Page Display category. Then, look in the Page Content and Information section, and make sure that Show Large Images is selected. If this preference is deselected, then Acrobat will show only black boxes in place of images.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

  • Strange black boxes appearing

    We recently have had these black boxes appearing on our desktops. They appear on all of our software and even around the icons on our desktop. Mainly they appear where there is a box already but they're black. Sometimes they will fall in the correct area (directly over the box) or floating off but close to the boxes.
    This isn't the best explanation but does anyone have any idea? We have tried rebooting and they are still appearing.

    You're welcome.

    My 2008 Macbook OS X 10.5.8 keeps getting a black box appearing around files that are selected.  The volume keys are also making wigits come up and there are duplicates of "restart" and "shut down" for some reason in that apple menu.... What's going on?

    Turn off VoiceOver in the Universal Access or Accessibility pane of System Preferences.

  • How can I stop the black box appearing round a movie?

    So I've created a PDF with quicktime movies embedded in it on indesign, and I've taken the black outline off and have the movie automatically playing when you open the page. The problem is when it plays another black box appears round the movie and you have to click off it to make it disappear - it looks unprofessional and if you're in full screen mode this makes it turn to the next page, and we don't want that, do we.
    Does anyone know how to get rid of this black box so that it stays without a border when it's playing? I guess it happens because the movie is selected, but I can't seem to find anywhere in the edit movie dialogue box that says anything about it.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Steve, we'll look into buying Acrobat X because it would look so much better.
    One question though - If I was to sort out the settings on Acrobat X, would the black box still appear when viewed on Acrobat 8?

  • When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the library and in Photostream.

    When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the iPhoto library and in Photostream. It has no apparent pattern, the photos are just blank. It's not just icons, when I go to edit the photos externally in Photoshop it opens an image filled with nothing but black.
    This is more than annoying. It's effectively deleting photos I'm taking on vacation and so forth.
    Anyone?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • There is a frequent flashing above my tool bar and sometimes a flashing black box appears over my Yahoo news. How do I make it Stop??b

    There is a bright flashing light over my tool bar and sometimes a flashing black box appears over the Yahoo news. I tried Reset Firefox and that didn't work. I then uninstalled and re-installed Firefox and I still have the seizure inducing flashing lights.
    When I switch to Internet Explorer I do NOT have this problem. Please help me because I do not want to go back to IE.
    Thanks

    In case this is caused by Firefox 33 being incompatible with your graphics card/chipset driver software, could you test for a while in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?
    You can disable hardware acceleration for all modes in the Options dialog.
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    This takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it up again.

  • I cant download anything including Updates, when i try to download a black box appears saying that i have to power off the laptop using the button, and it freezes, so i have no option but to power off. Please HELP

    I cant download anything including Updates, when i try to download a black box appears saying in 4 different languages that i have to power off the laptop using the button, and it freezes, so i have no option but to power off. Please HELP

    Well, at least it's good that there are no hardware issues - that's a relief and one problem area that you can check off.
    OK, so let's summarize so I can get a clear picture of what's going on. If you try to download something from your web browser, what happens? What if you try to download a small utility such as "EasyFind" from the App Store? Or is the problem specifically linked to downloading updates?
    I'm just trying to get a feel for if anything really means anything?
    Usually what you download from, say, a website, goes into your Downloads folder. It's the default folder for things like that. Apps from the App Store are downloaded to your Applications folder. And software updates are generally, I believe, held in a temporary folder so that they can be installed (in many cases) when you're asked to restart.
    It could be something as simple as repairing permissions on your start-up disk. You're running Snow Leopard, right? (That's what your profile says.) Try opening Disk Utility from your Utilities folder, selecting your boot disk and try verifying permissions. If you come up with some errors, try repairing permissions. After that, go ahead and verify your boot disk - you won't be able to repair it at this point, but at least you can see if you have any errors.
    Let me know about the anything and get back to me after you've verified and repaired permissions and verified your boot drive.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Black boxes appear on printing of gradients with text overlay

    I am teaching a class of 25 students who are just learning InDesign. About half of them decided to put a black to white gradient as their background and then they put text over that. The text has effects applied and when these students print, the gradient prints as a shade of brown AND the "box" the original shape was in shows up as a black box. This only seems to be happening if they've applied an effect to the text [like an inner glow, etc.
    How do we "turn off" that black box that shouldn't be there.
    Very frustrated teacher and students...

    When you print out of InDesign transparency has to get flattened, so the Transparency Flattener preset you choose in the Print dialog's Advanced tab can have an effect on output. Try using the High Resolution preset and if that doesn't work make a preset with Raster/Vector Balance set to 0:
    If the Black in the gradient is set as CMYK 0|0|0|100, set your Appearance of Blacks Preference to Output All Blacks as Rich Blacks

  • Interactive pdf has random black boxes appearing after video slides

    I am using indesign cs6 and I have a document that is 52 pages long with images, text and vidoes that are flv files. I export the doc as an interactive pdf. I open the doc in Acrobat and it plays fine. The only issue is that after a video slide, A random black box, the same size as teh video element is appearing on the slide after the video.
    Right in the middle. As if I have left the video element on the same slide.
    Not sure if this is a ram issue or something I am missing. I have checked the slides after the videos and the elements are fine.
    Please help. Thank you all.

    It's a long-time bug, doubt it'll ever be fixed. You can use Acrobat to change the annotation properties to 'disable when' = page is not visible, so the Flash Player instance is unloaded from the display stack - that usually helps. InDesign doesn't let you control that parameter.

  • Do you need a sim card for the iPad 3G and when I try to download something from the app store my screen has a black box appear is that normal and why is this happening?

    My app store does not let me download things , when I sghn in a black box appers , also does a iPad 1 3G need a sim card to download apps ?

    You posted in the iPod Shuffle forum; it might be best to post in the iPad forum, as I was a bit confused at first. Anyway,
    It doesn't need a SIM to download apps if you have Wi-Fi. Can you describe this box a little more, or better yet, screenshot it?
    Taking a Screenshot:
    Quickly press then release the home and power buttons at the same time.
    Get the photo on your computer and upload it here.
    If you don't want to do this, can you describe it a little more? When you say "black box," I'm guessing it's an outlined box that appears around any item that you tap on. Is this correct? If so, it sounds like VoiceOver was enabled. See:
    Turning VoiceOver On or Off

  • Why does a black triangle appear instead of landscape photos from a shared library

    We have an iMac using OSX10.7.5 and running iPhoto 11 v9.4.1. 
    There are 2 users of the iMac with separate logins.  We have an iPhoto library that is user 1 administers and imports photos to, edits photos etc.  User 1 can access and see all photos without any problems in thumbnail or large scale/full screen under their login. 
    When user 2 accesses the photos on the user 2 login, all photos can be seen in thumbnail, but when double clicked to show photos at larger to full screen size, all portrait pictures show ok, but after a first landscape photo sometimes showing, the rest of the landscope photos produce (sometimes) a flash of the picture but then the area of the photo goes black with a warning sign, that is a triangle with an explanation mark appears in the centre of the screen.
    If user 2 runs a slideshow, the portrait pictures show up, the screen is black/blank whilst landcsape photos would be shown
    A very few landscape photos can be seen and they all appear to be files of less than 1.5mb, but this does not apply to all photos of less than 1.5mb.
    The photo library has photos from 2 iPhone 4s, 2 Leica and 2 Nikon cameras of varying sizes. The problem does not seem to be associated with any particular camera.
    User 2 (my wife) is very unhappy!
    Any help and insights welcome.
    Many thanks
    Wally

    Where is this library located? If it's in the Shared folder then that's probably why you're having problems. But it's usually with permissions, not broken links/file path to the original photo that the exclamation mark is an indication of. 
    Your best and most trouble free solution is to put the library on an external hard drive that's been formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with owner ship set to be ignored:
    You can try the following to fix the problem but be warned that the problme may manifest itself again after some use: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
