Same PDF displaying differently on iPhone vs. computer

We had a client email a .pdf to a goup of users here. When we look at it on the computer (or another smart phone), it shows up one way, but when we look at the same echange email attachement on an iPhone/iPhone4, it seems to be a different version. It's almost like they made edits, but it didn't save them. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

I see the same effect. I had the submission for my company for UK Companies House to review from the accountants. I opened it from email on my iPad and there was just the form there. Asked accountants what was going on and they were puzzled. I opened the PDF from the same email on my W7 laptop and it displayed the company information just fine.
The text was also missing when I opened the PDF in iBooks. And my iPhone has the same problem.
Does the iPad and iPhone only support an older version of PDF?

Same colors display differently between Illustrator and Photoshop

Hi there,
I would love to know why the same colors display differently between my Photoshop and Illustrator apps (CS3). For example, a logo will display much darker or more vividly in Illustrator than in Photoshop, same file, same colour values. My color settings are synchronized from Adobe Bridge to North American Pre Press 2. I've opened the logo file in RGB color mode, in both apps. It would be so helpful if both apps displayed the colours consistently.
Any suggestions on how to do this would be wonderful!
Thanks!
Bobbie

Hello Bobbie,
I am using CS3 too and let me tell you that this Illustrator version is the worst ever. You best bet is to take the "Eye Drop" tool and select the Photoshop element to match the color.
CS4 also have problems when handle placed items. Sadly I can tell you that CS2 is more reliable than CS3 and CS4.
Not even if you use Pantone colors will match, Illustrator will change the colors making it impossible to match. "Adobe Quality"

PDFs display differently in Internet Explorer 9 versus FireFox

We use Adobe Reader X in all cases (10.4.1)
On old computer, we have a website we go to using Internet Explorer (version 8.x on XP) where we ope/save & print to a PDF file. The information on the PDF prints vaules in a certain order - for example:   A,B, C    --works great--this is what we want it to do.
We buy a new computer, Windows 7 with IE9, and the PDF displays with the same values in this order: C,B, A -   not good, do not want that.
We try FireFox on the new computer -- works great --just like it did on the old computer.
What setting in IE9 is causing this PDF to display differently than in FireFox (or IE8)?
UPDATE: We did load IE8 on Windows 7 (by uninstalling IE9) and the PDF works fine --so it's not just something unique to FireFox. IE9 is displaying information in this PDF differently--why?

Add/update these params in your web.xml and redeploy so the style class names are not optimized and client debugging is easier.

PDF version different on iPhone vs PC?

Hello, I have a question about reading PDF's on an iPhone. A PDF was created, a line was removed and then it was emailed out. When I view the PDF from my email on a PC, it shows the edited version. When I view the PDF from my email account on my iPhone (4, running iOS 5.0), it shows the original unedited version. Same email account, same email, just two different versions. We tried on a 3gs running 4.3 and it does the same thing. Interestingly, people using droid powered phones receive the edited version of the PDF as well. Has anyone ever noticed this before?
Does that make sense?

Just tested the "Classical Gas" search and got the same result on Mac and Windows XP at the US store. 19 showed up in the results, including Pepe.
Maybe you got caught in a database upgrade or something... *shoulder shrug*

Can't open same pdf to different page...

I am creating a pdf document that contains hyperlinks to open other pdf files to specific pages by adding #page=pagenumber to the end of the url. The problem arises when I've opened a pdf with one link, then click a link to the same pdf, but with a different page number specified. Because that pdf is already open, it will not re-open and go to the second page. It just sits there on the first page opened in that pdf and does nothing.
I have found ond kludgey work around - adding additional forward slashes in one of the the urls will fool the system into thinking the urls are different and the same pdf can be opened to different pages one after the other, no problem. I'm hoping someone has a more elegent solution. Thanks for any advice you can give.

I tried named destinations as you suggested, but didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I may have found a partial fix. I'm creating my pdf in InDesign CS5 and, on a hunch, I tried setting two button actions: Go To Next View before Go To Url. For some reason, when I export the document to a pdf, the links will now work as I wanted. I'm not sure why this works since, from what I read, Go To Next View should only do something if you've gone to a previous view, giving it somewhere to return to. I'll take it, though.
To answer your first question, the reason I want to link one pdf to multiple pages in a second pdf is that we have many large pdfs containing our company's procedures - yes, they're so large that putting them all in one file is not practical. So, when I need to refer readers to something in another pdf, I want to have them click a link or button and the second pdf will open in a new window to the page I specified. One link on one page might take them to the Glossary clear at the back of the other pdf, and another link might take them to the Introduction at the start of the pdf. I'm amazed from my searching that there isn't more about this issue online. I have found a few people who experienced the same thing, but none of them have ever solved it. It's not just limited to buttons in pdfs, either - creating links in an HTML document has the same problem of not being able to open the same document to two different pages successively using two links.

Same pdf is different in adobe reader en acrobat professional

Hello,
I have a slight problem with a PDF file.
I have one pdf.
When I open this pdf within Adobe Reader, everything looks fine, when i open exact the same PDF with acrobat professional, something weird is happening.
The font't are changed.
Also, some of the text is in italic.
I hope anyone can give me a solution to solve this issue.
Excuse me for my bad English, i'm from Belgium, so English is not my foreign language.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

Hello,
Yes i did check the preferences and from here they are the same.
But, correct me if I'm wrong, but i thought you cannot change the font type in Adobe itself.
Normaly i would guess, i should show the pdf how it was created.
If not, do yuo know which preference I have to look at?
Thanks in advance.

Same pdf shows different colors than in photoshop

Hi,
I´m new to Acrobat, I work with Mac-support basically. I have a client that complaints that colors är not identical in Acrobat, compared to when he opens the same pdf file in Photoshop or in Illustrator. All applications are latest versions of CC and the run on a Mac Pro with Yosemite 10.10.2.
Color settings in Photoshop saved and imported into Illustrator. It looks identical. But not in Acrobat. Is there not a way to import color settings from Photoshop into Acrobat? Or what can be the reason?
Many thanks in advance, remember I´m a newbie...

Fill & sign greyed out but same pdf on different pc is signable

Hello,
I'm having strange issue with sign process, we have the same PDF sent to several users.
All are running last update for Reader XI.
Some users have the fill&sign option disabled and signing property is not allowed.
Same document sent to other user is siging allowed and all works fine.
We already tried several options (new save as/ reinstall reader / recreate new main doc) but for these users is not possible to sign PDF
Any advice how to troubleshoot deeper?
Thanks

I know mostly digital (PKI-certificate-based) signatures. I cannot expertly advise on other signature types. It is possible that the form that you had, had an expiration date on it (was Reader-extended with a certificate that expired after a certain date). That might explain why your co-worker was able to sign and you weren't, if you got the unsigned copy from her and not from the same source where she got it. If you got not the same copy but from the same source, you may have gotten a copy with the signing already disabled. The other possibility is that the form might execute comminications with the author's server to get authorization to sign and that authorzation failed. There are many ways a form can be constructed that cause this behaviour. Since you know that the document's author disabled signing the question is now moot and I do not see why we should speculate on a possible reason.

PDF displays differently in Acrobat 8 to 7 or 9?

An external supplied PDF exported from Indesign CS4 all fonts embedded was imported into Prinergy and refined. If the Prinergy PDF is opened in Acrobat 7 or 9 it looks like the original and the Prinergy PDF is dropped onto a hotfolder and printed out on a Xerox printer with a Level 3 rip it looks fine.
If you open the PDF in Acrobat 8 one of the fonts is corrupt. We created a Scitex CT file, proofed the Scitex CT file, the font proofs as being corrupted. Creating a Prinergy VPS shows the font as being corrupt.
Any ides on why Acrobat 8 display the PDF differently to Acrobat 7 and 9? All version of Acrobat are fully patched and we have tested on several computers.
Regards
Denis

The files are not secured. Some of the files are part of a pdf portfolio, where the portfolio is a mixture of pdfs created/scanned in 8 and pdfs created/scanned in X and combined into a pdf portfolio by X. The troubled X files are not visible in 8 as standalone files or as files inside the portfolio. Some of the files have never been combined into a portfolio and are not visible to 8.
It does not happen to all of the scans. Some scans done by X are visible in 8 and others are not, even though the scan settings used are the same. Strangely, all of the files, whether visible in 8 or not, are visible in X. The lack of visibility in 8 occurs across multiple machines using 8, not just one machine, and the same pattern occurs across multiple machines running 9.
I have examples of the files, but they contain private information. One such file is two pages. It is a standalone file, not a pdf portfolio. The second page is visible in 8, but the first page is not; both pages are visible in X. If I delete the second page (confidential information) and post the file, will the second page be visible by any means?
Additionally, the file pages are enormous to print even though they were scanned at 400 dpi, color, jpeg2000, jbig2 (lossy), deskew on, background removal off, descreen on, text sharpening, low. The first page was 63.7 MB to print and the second page was 97.2 MB to print. The entire file is only 1913 KB.
Do you think that I have a bad install and should just uninstall and reinstall?

PDF displays differently from Illustrator CS4 to Acrobat 9.1.x - no idea why

My name is Chris Plessinger. I'm the local IT support for a company that produces promotional products.
Recently, the Art Department came to me with a problem.
They had a graphic that was sent to them by the customer in a PDF file.
The PDF, when opened in Acrobat 9.1, shows an image with another image imposed on the lower left hand corner.
When the PDF is opened in Illustrator CS4, the image is there, but the smaller image that was imposed on the lower left corner isn't there.
In Illustrator, when you press CTRL-Y, you can see the outline of where it would be, but it's clearly not there.
I'm don't know enough about the software to determine why it is showing up in one Adobe product and not displaying in another.
I am uploading the file in question to this post.
I would be very, very appreciative of any feedback on I can get on this issue. I'm not a graphic artist and can't answer the question being posed to me.
Regards,
Christopher

Sweet.
But I have a new question now: how (exactly) did you accomplish this? How did you flatten it?
Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate your taking the time to help.
Thanks,
Chris

Email is different on iphone than computer

hey all, i am new to the iphone 3g and i have a hotmail account, when i delete an email from my iphone it doesnt delete it on my computer and vice versa, can someone please in lamens terms tell me how to fix this?

That is working exactly as it should. It's done that way on purpose on that type of email account. And you WANT it that way. THere will be times that you will not be able to read your email on your iPhone, and you will want a copy on your desktop. Similarly, there will be times you might want to keep an e-mail on your iPhone that you don't want on your desktop (especially if people e-mail you internet links down the road for your iPhone).
That's the way it's designed to work with POP accounts.

Same image displaying differently in FF and IE6

I have deleted it from the server and replaced it
(desperation as it's fine

Hey Jo,
did you get this resolved? - I don't see the problems that
you are
describing nor do I get a dom inspector error.
The only thing I see is that the image which should reside
under the
side nav - you haven't set a path/source for this.

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend's

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend’s PC. How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

This happens to me all the time.
If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.
