  • Why do some letters render incorrectly in Reader or PDFL when rotated?

    I've noticed that some fonts I'm using don't display correctly in Adobe Reader (or when printed using a Adobe PDF Library based RIP) if they are rotated. Whether I pre-rotate the PDF in iText as I did before we sent a similar file to our printer, or whether you view the right side up PDF in Adobe Reader and rotate the view, the some letters look wrong whenever they're dispalyed sideways.
    Example PDF - this just has one big letter A: http://cl.ly/1c1q0l3F3f2s
    Here's the problem. You can see that the bottom left of the A is screwed up when it's rotated. To see this with the above PDF, open it in Reader and go to View > Rotate View.
    This doesn't happen in other PDF readers such as Chrome's but at the end of the day, our printer uses Adobe based technology and our prints come out wrong. Not rotating is not an option.
    QUESTIONS:
    1. Why is this happening?
    2. How can I fix this? Is this a bug in the Adobe PDF Library?

    There's a Bug which causes Firefox to print '''gibberish''' or '''garbeled''' characters for certain fonts, with certain print drivers.

  • Keyboard typing other letters

    My laptop ran out of battery and turned off. When I turned it back on, the keyboard was messed up. Most letters work fine. But some letters either dont appear when I hit the key, or hitting that key produces a string of other letters or numbers.
    Problem letters -
    r, f, sometimes s, apostophe, colon, hyphen.
    when I hit f I sometimes get these-

    Help!

    Try resetting both the PRAM/NVRAM -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 - and well at the SMC -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964.
    If neither solve the problem, call back,

  • Why do some letters/words not print exactly as typed

    my converted letters are showing misspellings.  Why does this happen and can it be fixed?

    Hi nancyhurley,
    Please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
    Note, however, that if your document doesn't already include selectable text (that is, the PDF was created from a scanned page), the text won't be selectable in the converted Word document.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Why are some movies only available in languages other than the original version?

    I have mentionned this before, and it keeps happening, and it is oh so annoying! Why in the world would you make a movie available in a translated version, but not in the original? This has happened to me several times now, and it is incredibly frustrating. At least when buying movies on Amazon, I always easily know what language it will be in! Films in French? Some are just in French, some are in French and others. Films in Dutch? Quite a few are originals with Dutch, why not do the same in French?

    Take it up with whomever or whatever company distributes those films in your country.  Those sorts of options are up to the distributors, not Apple.  Only the company or people who own or control the distribution rights to the intellectual property can say what is or is not put up in the iTunes Store.

  • Keyboard typing icorrect characters

    Hi there,
    I have a 2005 PowerPC G5 and I'm having an issue with the keyboard. Whenever I type a p it comes onto the screen as an e, ; as a d, and the spacebar doesn't work, along with a few other incorrect keys. It happened suddenly.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Joe,
    Some things to check are your system preference settings under International and Universal Access (sticky keys). See if anything unusual set under those settings. From you description it is difficult to tell if it might be a preference setting problem. System Preferences can be accessed from the blue apple menu or by following the path HD>Applications>System Preferences.
    post back with any further questions or comments,

  • In imovie - why are some of the images masked by other images?

    The images appear in the edit box but not when I play the movie. It's like they're being masked by the previous image.

    Thank you, mhoffman85!
    First, the photos were taken by people other than myself, but the tip you provided is a good one for me to pass along to family, friends, and fans.
    Second, I am indeed stubborn. Following your advice, I started by painstakingly deleting the 134 photos from my Muse CC slideshow widget. Then I copied the images into iPhoto, double-checking for rotation errors: one remained 90 degrees clockwise, so I changed that in Preview and saved it. Then I copied the photos into a new folder and reinserted them into the Muse widget. One of the photos needed a different "fill" setting. Finally, I re-typed all 134 photo captions and photo credit names. Et voila, when I previewed the page (2.5 hours later, ack), all of the photos were in their correct rotation.
    I am now feel a bit tired but mostly happy that I can move forward with populating the remaining pages before uploading my redesign. Excited!
    Very grateful also for your timely response to my post.
