Preview.app Glitch throws Display Back to First Page

OS X Yosemite v10.10.2; Preview.app v8.0
I've discovered a very annoying glitch in Preview.app; in which when I select all pages after I showed thumbnails, and then mark all pages with [Command]+[A] and unmark a view pages by holding the Command Key and klicking some; the program throws me back to the very first page of the .pdf document. Anyone knows whether there's a fix to be made?
–inbetween I click a page on the left panel with [cmd] held–>  
P.s.: Why isn't there community field for every OS X utilities like Preview.app? People might think I've spammed with this post.

that is what im talking about. after i have tapped the apps icon and gone to the apps pages not the front/main pages, the pages cant be swiped continuously as they were on the s4. you start on page one, then 2 then 3 then 4 and instead of going back to page one it stops and to get back to page one you have to go in the other direction and go to page 3 then 2 then 1. on the s4 you could just keeep going 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 or 1, 4 3 2 1 4 3 2 1,

  • Preview.app will not display some PDF files

    Since upgrading Yosemite I have found that Preview.app will not display some PDF documents, the documents open but all the pages are blank. This is a big issue as my work involves reviewing documents that are all in the PDF format. Strangely some PDFs work properly but I haven't been able to determine any common factors among the documents that work versus those that don't work. The problem documents do open correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader but Reader takes over viewing of PDF container fields I have in several important FileMaker Pro 13 databases. Acrobat in the FileMaker databases for me is just as much of a problem as not viewing PDFs in Preview.
    After searching the forums I followed suggestion in a post to try using version 7.0 of Preview.app (the version that worked under Mavericks) but that is also showing blank pages. I have noticed that the PDFs which open as blank pages also display that way in Finder and Spotlight previews. Could this mean that I have some kind of OS level issue here and not a Preview.app issue? Perhaps Finder and Spotlight use Preview.app to generate the preview.
    I have posted this in a bug report to Apple but in the meantime I would welcome any suggestions or workarounds to try.

    The built-in PDF renderer has trouble with that file. You might get better results with Adobe Reader.

  • Memory Leak in Preview.app when switching Display Profiles

    I found a weird memory leak in Max OS X Preview.app, which manifests itself when Display profiles (color calbration) is change. I wonder if anyone else can reproduce my experience.
    1. Open up "System Preferences" -> "Displays", switch to the "Color" tab. You'll need at least 2 available profiles in the list. (If you only have 1, you can create another using "Calibrate..." button to launch Display Calibration Assistant.
    2. Open an image file in Preview.app.  The larger, the better. Zoom in full size to maximize the effect of the bug. I repro'ed easily with this image: http://www.donporter.net/NewSchool/Color/Examples/Printer%20Test%20file.jpg
    3. Open up "Activity Monitor.app", and click on Preview to highlight it, so you can watch its memory usage.
    4. Switch back to "Diplays" Preference Pane. Using the arrow keys, toggle up and down between two different Display profiles.
    4a. At the same time, watch Preview's "Real Mem" in Activity Monitor, as well as the total "Active" memory.
    5. Each time you switch profiles,  Preview consumes more Active/Real memory, about 25MB per switch in my case. This continues until all physical memory is consumed, and then (I presume) starts swapping virtual memory to disk.
    6. Bring Preview to  foreground, and all the profile-induced memory usage is freed.
    Weird, wild stuff.

    Could it be possible that this is just the OS holding the memory for the app until another process requires it?  Do you find that the memory increase eventually causes the app to become unstable? 
    It might be best to open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com.  When adding the bug, please include any source code, project or installer that will help us reproduce the issue internally.  If you'd like to keep your code private, feel free to email it directly to [email protected]  Once entered, please post back with the URL so that others effected can add their comments and votes.

  • How to get app pages to go from last page back to first page

    on the s4 when you were flipping through the apps pages when you reached the end or last page the next page was the first page. now with the s5 it stops at the last page and you have to work your way back through all the pages to get back to the first page.

    that is what im talking about. after i have tapped the apps icon and gone to the apps pages not the front/main pages, the pages cant be swiped continuously as they were on the s4. you start on page one, then 2 then 3 then 4 and instead of going back to page one it stops and to get back to page one you have to go in the other direction and go to page 3 then 2 then 1. on the s4 you could just keeep going 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 or 1, 4 3 2 1 4 3 2 1,

  • Preview app doesn't display hyperlinks

    PDFs when opened in Apple's Preview App do not work with hyperlinks (including mailto:s). We've tried with various work flows from both windows apps, Apple's 'print pdf', Acrobat Pro. Other apps work fine: e.g. Adobe Reader, Safari.
    I'm surprised not to see more discussion about this, is it a well known issue?
    CM

    Hyperlinks in PDFs that I create in Adobe InDesign work fine in Preview, assuming they were actually created as hyperlinks (versus text strings even with link-like formatting).
    Some other apps try harder to interpret text strings as hyperlinks than Preview does.

  • SAP Script Check printing Layout, Line Items to display twice in First Page

    Hi All,
    This requirement is for US check printing Layout.
    My Requirement is to display Items twice on the first page.
    Eg : Main Window has 10 Items, I need to display all the Items at the bottom in another window at the bottom.
    I can't create 2 Main windows in the first page, as the data from the Main window 1 overflows to Main window 2 in the first page.
    I copied print program RFFOUS_C into a Z-version and try to implement the logic, however unable to print the line items in the bottom window.
    Kindly give your valuable Inputs.
    Thanks
    Vinayak

    Hi
    I had the same request for a check form in Canada. I solved it by writing the line item output into variables and print these variables in a second window. It was ~10 hours of effort, not a real nice technical solution but it worked.
    If you require I can send you a PDF of the sap script form definition. You can contact me at [email protected] Answers can take 1 week or more. 
    Best regards

  • Preview.app increases PDF file size after deleting pages

    Hello, I'm experiencing odd behavior with Preview.app and PDFs.
    If I open a PDF with Preview, delete a page, then save the file, the file size increases anywhere form 2x to 20x. This happens both with PDFs that only contain text and PDFs that contain text and graphics. It is very frustrating because I start with a file that is 150KB, remove some pages and end up with a 10MB monster that I can't email to people.
    Any help is appreciated. I can post a link to a test PDF for people to try to replicate with if it would be useful.

    I generated the file with pdftex. I'm guessing that there must be different ways to encode a PDF and when Preview gets something with an encoding other than that provided by PDFKit, it rewrites the file how it likes. In my case this is increasing the file sizes. I tried finding docs about PDFKit on the Apple developer site, but couldn't find any details about ways of encoding a PDF.

  • Preview app and retina display problem after installing Maverick

    Hi everyone, i upgraded to Maverick yesterday and i now have a problem with the software "Preview 7.0". I've got a macbook pro 13" retina.
    Before Maverick i could visualise image in high resolution using Preview, and the 100% view was showing the image full quality. Now my Preview software acts like i'm not on retina and i can only visualise my images with the resolution of a standard monitor.
    Does it make sense ? Please help !!!

    I'm having the same issue with Preview not displaying images at the correct resolution.  If you also look at the info in Preview, there are metadata issues showing up.  Under "Creator's Contact Info" this is the info displayed.
    Creator's Contact Info: , CiAdrCtry, CiAdrExtadr, CiTelWork, CiUrlWork, CiAdrPcode, CiAdrRegion, CiAdrCity, CiEmailWork
    Something is broken with the program.

  • App store search always returns to  first page

    When I search the app store I am always returned to the 1st page after viewing an app description. This is very frustrating especially if there are hundreds of pages. Is there a way to get around this?

    I don't know if you noticed the small left-hand arrow head on the left-hand side of black menu bar?  It took me ages to notice this..

  • I cannot enter any text screen goes back to first page

    Could anybody help, my ipad is letting me go into most apps but when I try to type in google or facebook etc. it won't allow.  I'm assuming its something to do with the keyboard but could you please help thanks

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the reset doesn't help, try a Restore.  From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.

  • AT300 goes back to first page after turn off when reading a book

    When I turn off the Tablet and later turn it back on the book I was reading as started back at the beginning and I have to keep flipping pages to get to the spot I was at. This is very annoying. Any answers out there ? Thank you.

    No as this is only the 2nd time it has done this. I have had this tablet for almost a year now and have been reading books all that time. Usually when I close the tablet and then open it later, the page has always been just where I left it. This was most annoying when each time you want to continue, you have to flip thru 20 chapters to get to the last reviewed page.

  • Preview App not displaying all pages

    I am finding under Mavericks Preview App is not displaying all pages of some pdf's. 
    If you turn on thumbnails you can see and select all the pages but it's not possible to scroll down through all the pages.  Weird and annoying...

    First, before you do anything else at all, make a copy of your file as a backup. You said "Book" but I'm thinking you mean in one file, not a combined file InDesign Book (.indb) project.
    Now you need to test to see if this is a program problem or a file problem.
    Are the pages still there? Can you choose them from the navigation box in the lower left corner of the document window?
    Is this happening with any other documents? If you export this file to .inx (Interchange format) then open that, do the pages display properly?
    If it's happening in other docs, or if .inx doesn't solve the problem, look at how to replace your application preferences here: Adobe InDesign CS4 * Setting preferences

  • Preview app not working properly in SL

    Since installed 10.6.1 SL on 15in MacBook Pro, preview.app won't display images in its main window; preview opens and images can be seen in preview "sidebar". iPhoto seems to be working ok so far.
    Any suggestions?

    Okay, I know something about this part! I've been told on another forum that Apple is now placing a quarantine flag on files downloaded from the internet, which prevents mass batch picture opening from functioning the way it did in 10.5. It seems like the system refuses to open pictures 2, 3, 4, 5, etc, until it successfully accepts the previous file as valid. Which is why the first attempt to open 1-5 results in 1, the second results in 1 and 2, the third results in 1 and 2 and 3, etc. I don't know if the quarantine flag explanation makes sense or not,
    IIRC the .jpg and .jpeg file format was supposed to be almost as safe as the .pdf format. Has something happened to make a .jpg or .jpeg file a threat to the Mac OS?
    Back when I was using Windows (bought my first Mac in July 09) I used to subscribe to Fred Langa's Langalist newsletter. Later when he merged his newsletter with Windows Secrets, I subscribed to that newsletter as well. I remember reading in one or both that while it was theoretically possible to infect a .jpeg with malware, nobody had done it yet, and it was probably too difficult for anyone to be bothered with it. Perhaps my memory about this is faulty.
