PDF files not displaying correctly

I have adobe reader 8 and my operating system is Vista. Every time I try to view a PDF file my screen gets messed up. My color quality goes from Highest 32 bit color to the lowest setting. I then either have to reboot my system, or go into my NVIDIA display properties and reset to to highest 32 bit color quality. my resolution is 1440x900. Why are my PDFS not displaying , and my color quality keep going to lowest, every time i use PDF?? .I

When I try to initiate Adobe Reader 8.1 in vista the window opens then immediately closes. Also when I try to open any PDF file the system locks up and I have to close whatever program is running from Task Manager. I have uninstalled old versions and reinstalled Adboe Reader three times with no error messages and no problems. I'm the system administrator so this should not be an issue. Help!!
Thanks!

  • Colors in pdf files not displayed correctly on linux acroread

    I have recently observed that the colors in certain pdf files are not displayed correctly in acroread on Linux. Other readers such as evince get it right. Examples are a presentation with white arrows on  a black background which come out as black on black. I suspect, but have not proved, that the files were produced on Mac OS. I see this in acroread version 9.5.1 on a couple of versions of Linux. I googled this but could find no-one else mentioning it. Has anyone else seen it. Looks like a serious bug to me.

    Does this happen with other PDFs on the server? You might check out the Adobe forums.

  • PDF/A files not displaying correctly on iPad

    Hi there
    I am creating a PDF/A document that is a compilation of a bunch of MS Word and PDF documents, which will be primarily viewed on iPad. I'm using DocsCorp pdfDocs on my computer (a PC) to compile them together, and saving as PDF/A to ensure no font problems. However, it's still not displaying properly on the iPad. Some of the pages are missing blocks of text and images. Some of the lines of text just look like black lines across the page, and there are some pages that have big black patches where text used to be.
    Does anyone know what else I can do to make my PDF/A document display correctly on an iPad?
    Thanks!

    You could try out an iBook.
    Creating iBooks (EPUBs)
    There’s no denying that the Apple iPad is a popular and successful product. One of the things I was most intrigued by was the format that Apple chose for their eBooks (iBooks). The good news is that they went with the industry standard EPUB format, and the even better news is that InDesign exports EPUBs natively. I created my first iBook for iPad using InDesign CS5. Let’s take a look at the workflow.

  • Uploaded image files not displayed correctly

    Hello everyone,
    I used the following article(on o'reilly) as reference for file upload:
    http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/04/05/upload.html?page=1
    While it works fine for most files types, there are problems with image files.(I am using PrintStream, BufferedOutputStream,FileOutputStream to write the files on the server).
    When links to these image files are clicked, the uploaded gif and jpeg image files are not displayed correctly.When directly opening the files on the server, it gives a 'error opening file' message.But other word docs , text files do not give an error.
    If anyone else has come across the same problem and could help out , I would appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance.

    I do not want to enter into the logic which you are following to upload the file. I did the upload process successfully even as a blob datatype.
    For this I followed the logic given in http://www.java.isavvix.com/codeexchange/codeexchange-viewdetail.jsp?id=22.
    Here you can download the complete sourse code, which is working fine for gif and jpeg, I tested.
    Please go with this. Also let me know, if you still have problem.
    Regards.

  • BI Publisher PDF reports not displaying correctly from EPPM 8.2

    Hi,
    I have setup EPPM to run BI Publisher reports as specified in the documentation. I can see all the reports correctly and can run the reports ok after specifying the reqd parameters. However, when the report completes and tries to open the PDF output in Acrobat, the screen flashes and no output is displayed. This is when running P6 within Internet Explorer. If I run P6 in Firefox, the PDF output opens correctly.
    I presume this is due to an IE setting or because the add-ons aren't configured correctly. Has anyone had the same sort of issue ?, and if so, how did you fix it ?.
    Thanks

    Hi Khaja,

Infact to display special fonts such as chinese,russian etc I have just pasted the corresponding ttf files under java home and not made any changes to xdo.cfg. But still the specail fonts are displayed properly.Problem is in displaying barcode fonts.
    Thanks,

  • PDF file not showing correctly in Preview or other apps

    Hi,
    I've trying to find an answer to my question for some time now on the internet, but couldn't find it anywhere. When I open a pdf file from someone who created it using Windows diagrams that are supposed to be Matrices are not showing properly. Most probably the matrices were created using the equation builder in MOffice.
    <-- this is supposed to be a matrix
    There is also a problem with showing symbols like subscripted or superscripted letters (Arrows represent superscripted or subscripted letters, either up or down):
    And for some reason, when I try to quicklook the file, some pages are displayed incorrectly - only showing a quarter of the page:
    Any help on this? Is there some sort of an update to solve this problem, or should I download additional fonts??
    I am using a Macbook Alu from 2008 with OS X Maverick installed - all latest updates are installed.. (However the same problem appeared when using an iPad)
    Thanks a lot i advance!

    Hi Carolyn,
    I looked at your file and it seems the problem is with the resolution. The design is great but the resolution was too low.
    Fortunately your Apple Smart Object was high resolution so I was able to increase the resolution of the file as it is. You will need to replace the Bar Code and possibly the little flower on the back cover with high res versions.
    In the future you need to start with the document being sized right and the resolution at 300 ppi. Make sure your graphics are high resolution from the start as well. You can't regain resolution that was left out, although using High Resolution Smart Objects can give you the the latitude you need to size back up.
    After I sent the file I looked closely at the font. The one font you used does have zaggies but it's supposed to. Bradley Hand ITC TT is kind of a rough font around the edges by design. If this is what seems to be the problem, you will need to change to another font. Still, the file needed to be higher resolution.
    I sent one back to you in high res. All you need to do is replace the bar code and the little flower with high res version. The apple graphic smart object was high enough.

  • Pdf will not display correctly on iPhone or iPad

    I put together a monthly newsletter that is 20 to 30 pages long every month for my club using iWorks Pages. The newsletter contains graphics and text on every page, a mixture of jpgs & png files all in rgb as this is meant to be viewed and not printed. I then use Acrobat 9 to "optimize" and "reduce file size" to make the file more portable. The file displays fine on my iMac and my Mac Book Pro but when I try viewing the pdf file on my iPhone or iPad, the majority of the graphics disappear. Most of the text is viewable but no other content can be seen. Does anyone know a program or another work around I'm not using that would make the graphics show up?
    Here is a link to my last newsletter if you would care to play with the file.

  • PDF does not display correctly

    Issue: One of our website page displays a PDF form filled with data retrieved from database. The PDF file displays perfect in IE browser, but the PDF form was blank in Firefox browser - can not see the filled data at all in Firefox browser nor in print-out from Firefox.
    I installed the most recent version of Firefox PDF viewer 0.8.1 add-on, and played with different options under the menu "options/Portable Document Format (PDF), but no luck to solve the above issue.
    I noticed that not only our website, but also some government websites have the same issue display data filled PDF.
    Anybody can help me out to resolve this issue?
    Many thanks!

    This may well be a limitation of the JavaScript-based PDF Viewer. It currently does not support all the feature of the Adobe plugin (or stand-alone version of Adobe Reader). You can test that theory using the steps in this article: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
    While an end user can switch around among viewers by changing their Firefox options, unfortunately there currently is no way for websites to detect which viewer is in use and assist visitors in a personalized manner. I think for now you may need to recommend that Firefox users use the above article for assistance if more complex PDFs do not render as expected.

  • How can I make .PDF files not display inline in an Outgoing mail?

    I want Mail to NOT display PDF files in outgoing messages. It will keep the icon placeholder if it's more than two pages, but not for one page PDFs. How can I stop this? It makes formatting kind of difficult.

    I knew. But I'm hoping for a way to make this the global default since ages...

  • PDF files not printing correctly, only prints graphics (Vista)

    Can anyone help me out? When I print a PDF file it only prints certain things,,,,,seems to print the more graphic items and not just plain text. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader. I can print fine to my printer from other applications. HP support was no help.
    Thanks!

  • PDF file not displaying properly.

    I have a pdf file this is being creating in outside software.  The file displays perfectly fine in adobe 11.  However when i open the file in Acrobat 9 certain pieces are missing from the file

    David ,
    The file on the right side is accessed in Adobe Reader.
    The file on the left side is accessed in Adobe Acrobat .
    Both are different software.
    Does this happen with this PDF or any other PDF as well?
    Which version of Acrobat are you using?
    This screenshot would unfortunately help us recognizing the error .
    It would be great if you could share the PDF with us so that we could figure out what' going wrong.
    Also ,where and how is the PDF created?

  • PDF colors not displaying correctly in preview

    Forgive me if someone has answered this. I've searched the forums for about 30 min and cannot find anything.
    When opening certain pdf files in preview, some of the photographs have messed up colors. It looks as though they are negatives of what they should be. I can open them in Adobe Acrobat and they look fine, but would much rather use Preview. Does this have to do with a setting when the pdf files are made? Is there any way to fix it?
    I think I've described the problem enough, but below is a picture to help explain. The below picture is supposed to be a black arm sleeve with white and yellow letters. In this instance, the rest of the pictures on the document are fine, just a few of them were like this.

        * Arial - bold, italic, bold italic
        * Arial Black
        * Comic Sans MS - bold
        * Courier New - bold, italic, bold italic
        * Georgia - bold, italic, bold italic
        * Impact
        * Symbol
        * Times New Roman - bold, italic, bold italic
        * Trebuchet MS - bold, italic, bold italic

  • Acrobat Pro X - Hyperlinked PDF's not displaying correctly

    After installing Acrobat Pro X we are having issues when clicking hyperlinks to PDF files from webpages.
    If we click a link to a Multi paged document it opens everytime to the top of page 2.
    If it is a one page document it opens at the bottom of page 1
    There don't seem to be any exceptions to this rule. It is happening on all 6 computers in our office all running Windows XP SP3. Browser is IE8
    Is this a known fault? Is anyone else having the same issues?

    I am experiencing this same problem.
    Now that I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro, documents clicked on in ANY web browser: Firefox, I.E., Safari... all open DIRECTLY to page 2... even when I have them set in preferences to open on page 1.
    What's up with this?
    Have you found a solution?
