Draw document previews don't show in Leopard

Now that I'm using AW in Leopard OSX 10.5.8, things are going swimmingly, almost.
Looking at a folder's contents in column or Cover Flow view, there is no small preview image visible to offer a clue to the document image. Each document must be opened in order to see its image.
Is there a way to restore the preview feature in Leopard, or is that a forever-lost item?
Best regards, Isshi.

When I was running AW in my previous computer (G4 tower running 10.3) there was a small preview image displayed when viewing Draw documents in column arrangement. It was very useful.
I've had AW Japanese also on that machine, so there might be some other factors as well, I don't know.
Both my iBook (G4, 10.4) and current iMac (intel, 10.5) show only AW file icons in column arrangement,
alongside the filename and in the Preview column when the file is selected. JPEG (and other image format files) show previews, as do text files (with the exception of AppleWorks text files, which show an AW document icon with the word TEXT imposed on it). If memory serves, the same was true on my earlier iMac G3 (originally OS 9 and 10.0, later 9.2/10.2).
Must be 'some other factor(s)' at work.

Links in preview don't show template on new page in dreamweaver 2004

links in preview don't show template on new page in
dreamweaver 2004?
I have created new html files using a template, then saved
the file with a new html name.
I preview it in my local broswer, the first page I want the
preview shows uo OK. When I click to link to a new page in my root
folder, the new page shows up, but not formatted with the template.
Why and how can I fix this?

Sometimes when I open PS CC 2014 the brush previews don't show minimum diameter, the previews all have uniform size

How can I fix this? Sometimes just restarting PS does the trick, but sometimes it doesn't. It makes it difficult to choose brushes, I have to test them first to see what their minimum diameter really is.

I too, have many of the same problems: constantly reminded to "Install" the apps I have already done so (and paid for); Market Assets asks for me to become a paid member (I am); Adobe Bridge is missing from the apps page. I have reinstalled CC several times. Frustrating is the kindest word I can say--I seem to spend more time reading the "help" and discussion boards rather than working on photos. Dear Adobe, wake up and give us some solutions here! I too, have been using Adobe PS for years and UGH! CC is a mess and truly a bad experience for me! I apologize to the user above (RGMeyer) I could not be helpful, rather I am only adding fuel to your frustration.

PDF document opened with Preview does not show french accents

Hi everybody,
I've got some issues with PDF documents opened with Preview.
They show a blank space for all the accented vowels.
If I open the same document with Safari, it's the same. But with Chrome, it works perfectly.
I assume there's a problem with fonts, but, nothing wrong with fontbook (checked duplicates for instance).
Last information : it looks ok within chrome on my Imac, but the issue comes back when I try to print from chrome app...the accents are gone on the sheet.
Any idea ? I don't want to install Adobe reader...
Thanks for your help !

I don't want to install Adobe reader...
Why not? It can handle some pdf's that Preview can't. At least it's worth a try.
In case you change you mind get it from here.

Preview doesn't show conditional fields in PDF document

A PDF document created with Adobe Acrobat has several radio buttons with a dropdown field conditional on each one. These dropdowns don't show in Preview, but do show in the Adobe reader. Any suggestions for the form developer?

We get these files from the vendor , he creates the file in Adode illustrator for us and he saves the f
ile in PDF format and sends them . He aslo advised he can open
the filre in acrodat pro version and the print pervi
ew is fine and he can print the file with out any issue.

Globally Stopping Finder Icons from Showing the Document Preview

Unlike in Tiger, my new Leopard OS is doing something kind of annoying. When I am in a Finder window (I tend to always use list view), many files are showing a preview of the content instead of the regular file icon. For example, with a PDF, I am seeing a preview of the first page instead of the regular PDF icon. And the same is true for word documents. This makes it very hard to tell what kind of files I am looking at in my list view, and it's made even worse because I am using the small icon view. You cannot tell what the content is anyway.
I can make this happen when I choose "Show View Options" from the Finder window. But that seems to only work for the current window. I need this to happen globally because I open I lot of folders and subfolders from our Xserve, and these type of setting never hold once I dismount and remount the server. Any ideas?

which view option are you using? In columns view it's enough to remove "show preview icons" in "show view options" for one window. it will affect all other windows which are in column view. for other views you change it for one window and click "use as defaults".

The preview and cover flow don't show thumbnails of the quicktime videos. How to fix?, The preview and cover flow don't show thumbnails of the quicktime videos. How to fix?

When I upgraded to Mavericks the cover flow or the preview pane in finder don't show a thumbnail of an uncompressed quicktime movie. I use this to search for the correct clip so it was very useful in prior versions of OS X but appears to be left off in Mavericks. If anyone knows a work around I would appreciate it since I work with thousands of video clips. To click each one seems very tedious.
Also, when I click on an uncompressed video, quicktime "converts" the video to some different format. Why doesn't it just play the video instead of converting? Is there a way to stop this? I hate have to say - no I don't want to save this file.
Arrgh!

Does anyone in the community have insite into this issue (same with animation compressed QT's). Is this just the way it is moving forward (a terrible thing) or is it a bug that will be fixed in the near future. Apples silince on if this is a "feature" or a "bug" is frustrating.
Thanks.

DRQ : Draw Document Wizard only show limited details.

Hi,
I'm not sure is this the correct place to do development request.
I found out that when do Copy from Function (eg. Do Delivery by Via Copy to function), Draw Document Wizard only show limited details. Width , height, length are not shown.
Our customer sells same item (Product Code) with difference size and dimension. It is hard to select the item from the draw document wizard.
Even harder for documents that have a lot document lines with same product code.
Is there any plan for this req in the next upcoming patch?
Please advise.
Andy

Hi Andy
What I understood from your explanation is you have one single item code, but the item has different sizes. So, you are creating multiple lines for same item in base document (sales order/purchase order).
My question is to you, how are you capturing the sizes in the document. Have you created any UDF to capture the sizes.
If your answer is 'Yes', then, you can include those UDFs in Draw Document Wizard -> Select Item to Copy (through Form Settings). Also you can drag & drop those UDFs just beside your Item Code or Description, which will help user to understand the actual size/specification of the Item while drawing the base document into target.
If your answer is 'No', then you can create those required UDFs for Marketing Document -> Rows and store the values in the base document. And while using Draw Document Wizard include those UDFs through Form Settings as explained above.
Thanks & Regards

Pix don't show in document that I made in Pages, copied and pasted onto an email

I've got a six month old Mac Air with OS X 10.9.2. I made a short document in Pages, version 5.2 (1860). I used the images link to put some photos into the document. I want to send this document to many people, using who knows what operating systems. I shared it with a few people first, but one person couldn't even open it, while the other person had a "hard time" (?) opening it, but finally got it opened, while the others (I thank them all very much ) haven't responded.
It isn't working as easily as I want, and feel that maybe it's not such a good idea to send the document out as an attachment anyway. So, now I want to copy and paste the whole document right into the body of the email. I've sent the document to myself to see if it comes up okay. Everything looks great except that none of the pictures show up. They're important.
Is there some requirement that the pictures are limited to a certain size, or a certain type, or some other requirement? The moment the document is pasted into my Gmail email, the pictures don't show up. I'd suppose if Gmail had a size limit they'd at least show up when the document (including the photos) is pasted into the body of the email, and just wouldn't show up when the email is opened up.
Thanks for any help.
Troy.

Got this in my inbox a little while ago:
Hello there,
We have heard about your issue from the discussion thread below:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6145799?tstart=0
We would like to know if you would be able to provide the following:
- OSX and Pages versions- Is iCloud file sync On for Pages
- copy of a document thatdoes not show images
- details about workflow before the image dow not show in Pages
- is the document stored on the local hard drive or on a network server
Thank you,

I clicked the link but, it seems odd to me that this didn't show up here in the thread. I guess this is legitimate though.
Here are my answers -
- OSX and Pages versions
As I mentioned in my initial post I've got OS X 10.9.2 on a 2013 model MacBook Air, and Pages 5.2 (1860).
- Is iCloud file sync On for Pages
I don't know where to find iCloud file sync in Pages. Searching the internet didn't help. I found some forum threads but they don't make any sense to me. I'm not so computer savvy and am still new to Mac. I can share links via iCloud by sending files as Pages documents, PDFs, Word documents, or ePubs. Maybe this is what you mean. But I don't see anything about turning it on or off.
- copy of a document thatdoes not show images
Only way I know of is to use Google Docs. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pRfzSI8gpzKRavCbFRdLAUjddVqTMyyvTllJNvCVAeA/ edit
- details about workflow before the image dow not show in Pages
I uploaded all the images using the "Media" icon in the Pages task bar at the top of the screen. Is there anything more that you'd like to know about the workflow?
- is the document stored on the local hard drive or on a network server
Local hard drive.
Thanks much.

Did you recently reconfigure the drives attached to your computer or move to another computer?
To help with troubleshooting this, download and run the utility psedbtool:

Document preview shows EDIT option even if someone does not have edit rights

From what I can see, in the document preview panel in search results one of the options says "EDIT" even though the searcher only has read rights. Is this correct? If so is there a way of changing it so that it says "OPEN" if the document
is read-only to the user?

No way to change it that I am aware of. For the most part MS doesn't impose a lot of permissions checking on links in dialogues. To do that would require a lot of extra processing.

Make document preview icons bigger

how can I make document preview icons bigger? They were MUCH bigger in Leopard. Can hardly get an idea of them now

Are you referring to the icons shown in folders?
If so, their size is adjustable. To do that, with a folder open and active and set to Icon view, open View Options from the View menu. There is a slider in there which you can use to adjust the size of the icons.
Alternatively, go to the View menu and select Show Status Bar. This will add a small area at the bottom of the folder's window which will display some info about hard drive space, and will also contain a slider - this slider will adjust icon sizes.
To adjust icon sizes in folders set to List or Cover Flow views, open View Options for the folder - there is a small choice of sizes, little and big.
There is no adjustment for icon size in Column view.

Unchecked show icon preview but still showed icon preeviews / ikon preview (thumbnail) can not disable,

We are works on the Server(Linux). There ara many pictures and Text Files (tif, jpeg, rtf, doc, txt etc.) in server folders.
     On the 2 iMac (Mountain Lion)
          Text files in the folder have viewed normal(optimum) time. But Pictures in the folder have viewed very slow and very long time.Because showing pictures icon (show icon preview) very slow on the Mountain Lion. We tried List View/ColumnView.We have waited very long time(for pictures in the folder) when we selected a folder every time.
          We unchecked show icon preview but still showed icon previews, icon preview (thumbnail) can not disable, We tried "Finder preferences", "View > Show View Options > Show icon preview(unchecked)" and "Show icon column(unchecked)" but still "Show icon preview(checked)" and "Show icon column(checked)"
     On the Power PC G4, Mac pro or iMac (Leopar/snow Leopar or Tiger)
          Everythings ok. There isn't any problem. Text files and Pictures in the folder have viewed normal(optimum) time
This problem only on the Mountain Lion, on the other OS (Leopar/snow Leopar or Tiger) no problem.
How to resolve this problem?

Good news: I found a solution.
Start iTunes, remove all your voice memos from your library (back them up if you need them), quit iTunes. Restart Finder. Done. I hope that helps!

Path fills don't show

I have a drawing that has some paths; not closed. The fills don't show.
Opacity is 100 on both the layer and the object. The fills show in the
preview pain of both the Navigator and Transparency pallettes but not on the
drawing. Appearance pallete says there is indeed a fill. Why doesn't the
fill show in the drawing?
Richard

Are you looking at it in outline move or preview mode?
