PDFs not displaying properly when switching from multiple monitors to single screen

OK, here’s one I can’t find online anywhere. When I am at home I use a second monitor on my Macbook. Adobe reader works just fine opening files and displaying them, but if I disconnect the monitor and just go to the single laptop screen, adobe will no longer display the pdf file. Reader stays open and will display the toolbar from the file or files I had open, but it won’t display the actual documents. I have to quit reader and re-open it in order to display my files correctly.
Any ideas?

PDF not displaying properly in Acrotbat

Hi all,
I'm having an issue with a document I have created in Photoshop not displaying properly when opened in Acrobat. It is a brochure for my work, that I have worked on and printed many times. When I open it in Acrobat after creating the PDF, gaps appear and other elements are shifted out of place. When viewing it in Photoshop, those gaps are not there, even when I zoom in very close. When we open the file on other computers with Acrobat, the gaps are still there. To test the PDF further, I downloaded some free PDF viewers off the net and the document looks the way it was created, the way it should be. I don't know how to fix it and certainly don't want the gaps appearing when it goes to print. Any ideas on how to fix this? I've never previously had this problem. Thank you in advance for your help.
Leah

Without access to the files it's impossible for us to help. Acrobat will be displaying the PDF "correctly", but why the page contents are shifted is anyone's guess.
When you save as "Photoshop PDF" and choose the "Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities" option, it embeds a copy of the PSD file into the PDF and will open that whenever you try to open the PDF in Photoshop, which is why you don't get the import dialog. Photoshop never even reads the PDF page contents. Turn off that option, save to PDF again, and then open it in Photoshop - you'll see the true PDF page being imported as a graphic, and it'll match what Acrobat is displaying.

PDFs not displaying images when opened in Google Chrome.

My PDFs are not displaying images when opened in Chrome. They do display in other browsers and when saved to the desktop. I have tested on multiple machines. Is there a problem with how they are saved? Here is a test: http://www.omnils.com/userfiles/files/Brochures/KL-003_REV_0914_APEX_CR_SPEC_SHEET_lo.pdf

"... a known Chrome issue." The resolution lies with Google for this - nothing you can do (other than disable the "in house" browser add-on and enable Adobe's (if you have Reader or Acrobat installed)).
A similar issue exists with other, contemporary, browser releases.
The "fix" is these software houses to deploy PDF viewer browser add-ons that actually comply with ISO 32000.
Perhaps their lazy approach reflects the attitude of "Hey, Adobe will get the hit not us."
Provide your users a feed-back mechanism; you'd be able to respond with the suggestion that they ping on the appropriate software houses to provide adequate software.
Be well...

Stored Procedure Does Not Run Properly When Called From Portlet

We have a simple Java portlet that calls a PL/SQL stored procedure which we wrote. The stored procedure sends a large number of emails to users in our corporation using the "utl_smtp" package. The stored procedure returns a count of the emails back to the Java portlet when it's finished. This number is displayed in the portlet.
Our problem:
The stored procedure functions as expected when run from a PL/SQL block in SQL*Plus, and the Java portlet calls the procedure properly when sending out a smaller number of emails (Less than 200 usually). When we get into a higher number of emails the procedure hangs when called from the portlet, but it STILL functions properly from SQL*Plus. It does not return the number of emails sent
and the Java portlet is unable to return a SQLException. Also, we have noticed that emails are sent at a much slower pace from the stored procedure when it's called from the portlet.

Any Ideas?

Eurosign not displayed correctly when picked from database

Hi ..
I'm having a problem getting a eurosign stored in an Oracle Database to be displayed correctly in my Crystal Reports 11.5.
When using the built in (preview) Crystal Viewer, the eurosign is displayed correctly, but when I want to print the report directly to a printer or to export it to pdf the eurosign is displayed as a box?
It only haapens when i need to pick the eurosign from the database. If I insert in a textbox on the report, it will show correctly.
Please Help.
Best regards,
Jacob

What is the source of the text stored in the database. I ran into an issue a ways back where someone was copying news articles from a website into their database and the euro symbol would not display correctly (unless the option HTML Text Interpretation was used).
You might want to do a quick check to see if it is stored as an ascii character using a formula similar to the following;
asc(mid({database, x, 1}))
where x = the position of the euro symbol in the string.
The formula result should be 128.

My iphone 3gs is not working properly, when switched on it says 'Update Completed' as though it has just been updated. On the next screen it says to 'Connect to iTunes'. It doesn't, however, connect to iTunes and more often than not just resets itself.

My iPhone 3gs is not working properly and hasn't been since about September of last year. When switched on (Quite often it won't even turn on) it says 'Update Completed' as though it has just been updated. On the next screen it says to 'Connect to iTunes'. It doesn't, however, connect to iTunes and just resets itself over and over until power is gone. Occasionally after switching on and off a few times it functions normally for a few hours and some times even a couple of days but eventually always turns itself off and goes back to the 'Update Completed' screen. Does anyone know what might be causing this and/or a way of fixing it?

Avery Barcode labels does not align properly when printed from Adobe Reader 11.0.0

Hi,
I have barcode labels in a PDF (Version 1.4, Acrobat 5.x). PDF producer is PPAlambic(Distiller). When I try to print the PDF on to Avery 5160 sheet containing 30 labels (10 rows; 3 labels in a row), always the barcodes on the first column goes beyond the left margins and hence does not print the full barcode. PDF size is 8.5" * 11" .I have tried following options in Print dialog box:
1. Actual Size + Portrait + Letter size
2. Shrink oversized pages + Portrait + Letter size
3. Fit + Portrait + Letter size
None of the above options resolved my issue.
When I open the same PDF in Adobe Reader 11.0.07, it prints perfectly. Does someone help me understand if this is a known defect in Adobe 11.0.0 and is there any workaround in 11.0.0 itself to adjust the alignment?
Note: PDF is not editable as it comes from a third party vendor. Please help.

RTF template does not format properly when run from Concurent Manager

Hi
I have complex RTF template; many stuff in are in header in word table format,body section again fields are in table format and Footer again in word table format.
When I run BI Publisher report as concurrent request half the content like header and footer are not displayed. I can see copmlete report when I preview using XML data in word. Is there any limitaions that certan fonts, word format features not supported in RTP template. What is the best way to put header, body and footen in main body area rather using Header and Footer features of word?
Thanks and regards

You can use the start:body etc syntax to move your header/footer into the main part of the document. This way you can use form fields.

Gareth

Bug?: layers.add() is not working properly when invoked from menu (ID/CS6/Win7)

Hello Devs,
I am facing a mysterious issue with the layers.add() method.
I am trying to create n number of layers for my document. So I have decided to create a menu for this.
I have creatd two scripts
1. For creating menu & menu action,
2. Actual script that creates n number of layers.
When I run the script #2 direclty from ESTK it works fine.
Now when I try to invoke the same script from the Menu it is not working fine. Only the last layer is created.
Script 1: LayerPopupMenuAction
#target indesign
#targetengine createLayerset
var layerTemplateScript = File(File(getActiveScriptPath()).parent.fsName+"/IntializeTemplate.jsx");
var initTemplateHandler = {
    'beforeDisplay' : function(ev)
            ev.target.enabled = (app.documents.length>0);
    'onInvoke' : function()
            app.doScript(layerTemplateScript, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.FAST_ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Initialize Script");
var layerMenuAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("&Create Layer Set");
for(var init_ev in initTemplateHandler) {
    layerMenuAction.eventListeners.add(init_ev, initTemplateHandler[init_ev]);
var refMenuItem = app.menus.item("$ID/LayerPanelPopup");
refMenuItem.menuItems.add(layerMenuAction, LocationOptions.AFTER, refMenuItem.menuItems.item(2));
function getActiveScriptPath() {
    // This function returns the path to the active script, even when running from ESTK
    try {
        return app.activeScript;
    } catch(e) {
        return e.fileName;
Script 2: IntializeTemplate
#target indesign
if (app.documents.length == 0){
    alert("Please open a document and try again", "Document Error", true);
    exit();
var templateDoc = app.activeDocument;
var layerNameArray = ["Fixed_Static_Assets", "Absolute_User_Assets", "Relative_User_Assets"];
CreateLayers(layerNameArray);
alert("Initialization Successful");
//--------------------------------FUNCTIONS ARE DEFINED HERE--------------------------------
function CreateLayers(LayerNameList){
    var layerListLength = LayerNameList.length;
    var layerObject;
    for (var ln=0; ln<layerListLength; ln++){
        layerObject = templateDoc.layers.itemByName(LayerNameList[ln]);
        if (layerObject.isValid==false){
            layerObject = templateDoc.layers.add({name:LayerNameList[ln]});
            //$.writeln('Layer Creation: ' + layerObject.isValid + ' for '+layerObject.name);
    //Merger Default Layer with the bottom layer:
    var defaultLayer = templateDoc.layers.itemByName("Layer 1");
    if(defaultLayer.isValid==true){
        //$.writeln('Default is Valid and will be merged with top most layer');
        layerObject.merge([defaultLayer]);
Any help / guidance on this regard will be much helpful.
@Marijan Tompa [tomaxxi]: I googled for the solution and noticed that you have already worked on similar type of script. Please help me if you can.
Thanks
Green4ever

Hi Green4ever,
At a very first sight I'd suspect UndoModes.FAST_ENTIRE_SCRIPT which, as you may know, can deeply scramble script steps, especially when a try...catch is in use.
Try to replace FAST_ENTIRE_SCRIPT by ENTIRE_SCRIPT and tell us.

Lose Dock when switching from External monitor

When I disconnect my external monitor and open my MacBook monitor the Dock is not visible except when I cursor over the Dock area it's starts to reappear? It's very strange.

I think the problem revolves around the change of resolution when switching back. Because my Windows for Safari are out of whack too. So I am thinking the Dock is position wrong at first.

Spry Vertical Menu does not display properly when uploaded to server.

I am using Dreamweaver CS5 Version 11.0 Build 4909 on Windows XP. The website I am working on is displaying the ordered list incorrectly. The drop down submenus are not lined up underneath each other.
So I did a basic one and uploaded it to the server and had the same outcome. Locally it looks fine but uploaded to the hosting server not fine. Below is the code from the document called deleteme.html. I am new to all this so I apologize if this seems basic. Thanks for your help in advanced.

Hello all,
Thanks to everyone who replied to my post. I have it working now but I have other issues that I will post separately.
Here was my thought process and you can tell me if I am right or wrong. I was working with multiple pages that I was using Spry. I had only one folder set that all the Spry Assets were being saved into. My thinking was that they were getting over written. So I deleted the folder and re-built the page. When I deleted Spry Assets folder it showed me I had 6 pages linked to the Spry Assets folder. I also deleted my Spry Assets folder on my hosting server....thought I would really start from scratch. When I went to upload the files I created a SpryAssets folder and what I realized I had originally put a space between the y and a of the folder name. So I am not sure if the elements in the Spry Assets folder were getting over written or it was because I had a space in the folder name. Thanks again, Mike

File not displaying properly when launched

Hello, I'm using Cp6, Windows 7, Flash 11.9 and have a question. I've created a cptx file for an overall tutorial. I've inserted a video (Mp4) that I careated with Cp6 and published as an Mp4 file. I inserted it via Video>Insert Video and chose Event Videof
When I publsh the overall tutorial cptx file which is SCORM 1.2 enabled I get the expeced set of files in the zip folder. I tested playing this tutorial in SCORM Cloud, IE, Chrome, and FireFox with success. The overall tutorial plays as expected and the video plays as expected.
When I handed off the zipped published files to somone to load in their LMS, everything works fine except when the Mp4 file is played, it launches fine, displays the first screen fine, and then continues to play however all of the screens after the first screen appear almost transparent. And I believe the file the LMS people are loading is the Index_SCORM HTML file. They said that's the one they upload to their LMS.
I have looked throughout Cp6 for a "setting" that would cause this "dimming" effect starting on screen 2 and do not see anything.
Here's a sample of the code the LMS people sent. They think it cold be because of this opacity setting or value.
How is this opacity setting triggered in Captivate 6? If it is this, any suggestions on how to resolve it? Do you think this is what's causing the MP4 video to start dimming out on slide 2? Again, this doesn't happen on any of the other files in the published folder such as the SWF file and it does not happen when I test the entire published zip folder on SCORM Cloud.
Thanks a ton!

If you SCORM package as published from Captivate works perfectly well in SCORM Cloud then the issue is most likely with your client's LMS or the way the people administering it have loaded the course.
In any SCORM complian LMS I have worked with, the file that the LMS wants to look at first is NOT the index_SCORM HTML file. It's the imsmanifest.xml file. That's the file that tells the LMS what assets to load and how the links in the LMS's SCORM Player TOC should be set up. The user should be launching the SCORM package via the link in the LMS TOC. My suspicion is that your LMS is not launching the content correctly and some of the required JS files are not being loaded.

PDF not displaying correctly when opening in Firefox

I have created a document in Powerpoint 97-03, with hyperlinks created using shapes, on a Win. 7 PC and then converted it to a PDF. It has then be uploaded onto the internet and it displays fine on a Windows PC.
One of my colleagues has viewed it on their mac with Firefox and found that the contents of the PDF have shifted to the right so that part of the document is off of the page, though the hyperlinks have stayed where they should.
I have installed Adobe Reader XI onto the mac in the hopes that this may resolve it but alas no luck. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this issue and whether there was any fix at all?

Can you please post the link to the PDF in question?<br>
Does this occur in all PDFs?
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back soon.
