Acrobat 8 Standard PDF View problem

I am having trouble with Acrobat 8 Standard not showing a PDF I open. It will open the document fine, but all that displays is a gray page. I have tried repairing the installation, and re-applying all patches, but it is still the same. The selection pointer disappears when I move it through the grayed out page, like there is some layer blocking the view. I have checked through the settings numerous times, I don't see anything that looks incorrect...

This was happening with various PDF's, I don't know how some were produced. I made a 1 page document from Word, and created a PDF out of it, I had the same results. I did find out that using a different account on the same PC, Acrobat would behave normally. I still don't know exactly what caused it, but I have re-created the profile to get around it.

Is HP/Palm working on a fix for the PDF viewing problems

For several months, I've been having issues viewing PDFs on my Pre, and though I find lots of information confirming same, I can't find any evidence that HP/Palm is doing anything about it. Getting tired of sending myself links so I can view PDFs on a computer....what about it HP/Palm?
While I'm not happy I fell for all the hype about Flash support, I'm probably more upset I can't even view many PDFs using this device.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

hi, there are a couple of treads on the problem from Spring 2010:

zoom in and let the device wait for the Pre to autopower off. The bug happens with PDF and all office apps.

Palm Pre v1.40 PDF viewer problem

Since I installed this update, my PDF reader doesn't function properly. Either it doesn't open the document, or it opens it to fit the page, too small to read, and the resizing feature doesn't work. If I go to the open selection on the menu, all it does is open a 44 page document that is, of course, too small to read, so I have no idea what it is. Has anyone else had this problem?

From webOS V 1.4.1.1 release notes under PDF Viewer
"Pinching in/out to zoom out/in now works correctly"
meaning as you would expect. pinch out makes PDF bigger; pinch in makes PDF smaller.
and double tab works, too.
The Pinch Out/Pinch In/Double tap documented in HELP for PDF View.
However, you can only get to HELP after you open PDF View and open a file, then you can touch upper left and select Help. (In my opinion, this is error. You should be able to open Help without opening a file).

Adobe Acrobat Standard XI - Activation problem

Hello,
I have an adobe acrobat standard XI, with an enterprise activation. When I try to convert a Word document to PDF, it asks me a license key. But if I try to edit a pdf file, it doesn't ask me a license key.
What can I do?

Try this KB document:
Serial dialog box appears | Printing | Version 11.0.01

Documentum PDF view problem

I am unable to view a documentum PDF within Transaction VF03 using the 'services for object' option. The problem occurs when the dialogue box pops up, and when "OPEN" is selected, it opens in NOTEPAD instead of Adobe. If I choose option "SAVE", it recognizes it as PDF format, saves to local computer fine, and opens in Adobe without issue.
Two other points: The same process on the same computer works for our QA environment, but not the Production environment. Also, the Production environment works for some local machines, just not all. The Adobe version is the same (tried v 8.0, but standard here is v6.0).
This problem occured due to a third-party archiving tool and a problem in the way it sent the PDF file into SAP for viewing. We resolved by correcting that tool.

Illustrator and pdf view problem

Hello, I am completely stumped by this one:
Created a document in Adobe Illustrator cs5
1 Visible layer
1 Hidden layer
Saved a copy as a pdf
The visible layer and the hidden layer are both seen on someone else’s computer using Reader version 10.0.1.434
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.0.3 and can not see the hidden layer, only the visible one.
I create pdf's for proofs all the time like this and have never had this problem. I have done nothing out of the ordinary. I do not understand why I can not see the hidden layer and someone else can on their system. I have tired opening up the file as a Google image as well, and still do not see the hidden file.
I know I should not be able to see the hidden layer, but why can someone else see it?
Thanks in advance for anyones help.

I took a look and what would do this is if your client has Apply Layers Overrides checked
The three small white filed and black stroke paths are on a hidden layer that only shows it I make it visible or have this option checked.
Tell them to uncheck the option.
I am adding this as well if you check that option then save as from Acrobat X 10.1.0 as Acrobat 1.6 this happens when you reopen it but if you have it save with Acrobat 1.8 the hidden layer will not be visible even after a save as unless you check this option again.
Leads me to believe your client is working with Acrobat 7 or 8

Pdf viewing problems in yosemite

We've upgraded our lab computers to Yosemite. The only problem we've noted so far is that the horizontal bars on our reports (PDF files) do not show up on the screen in Preview version 8.0 on Yosemite on any of our Macs old and new alike. They print as normal and view as normal in a browser. I sent the report to a friend who opened it on her windows computer and the bars appear as normal.
I tried the only setting within Preview that I thought might be related. That is Preferences>Images>Define 100% scale as: I had it set on 1 image pixel equals 1 screen pixel. and tried changing it to Size on screen equals size on print out. Changed it and restarted Preview but it made no difference.
Does anyone have any ideas of what else I should try?
Thanks for your time.

Just upgraded to Yosemite on a Mac Mini. Some but not all of our business forms on pdf will render improperly on the screen. They print the same way as they show on the screen. Safari displays and prints properly. Sometimes Preview will tear the screen image horizontally, and sometimes blocks will be displaced, with the same document at different times. On one document parts of a few letters were scattered aimlessly all over the document, but this from a text block added by an Apple Store app after the pdf was originally written. I think it is a parsing problem within the pdf specification. Pdf is OK. Interpretation of what is within the pdf is not ok.
Use "open as" and choose Safari until Apple fixes it. I don't trust Preview today. It was a really nice app on Mavericks. I miss it. You could do more stuff than just look at a file.

Acrobat XI - PDF Optimizer problems

In Acrobat XI, I know that the PDF Optimizer moved to the Save or Save As function. The problem that I am facing is that on one (out of 30) of the Macs that I support, when I choose PDF Optimizer, the Optimizer window does not appear. I uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat, but it still does not work. HELP!

Rave,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I was able to answer my own question this morning. I found that 2 of the PDF Optimizer settings, which are located in the PDF Optimizer folder in the Application Support folder for Acrobat were corrupt. Once I eliminated the settings from the PDF Optimizer folder the Optimizer window worked properly again.
Thank you,
Jeff

Adobe X Standard PDF printing problems

OK, this is a weird one. I use Parallels to run my Windows applications, one of which is Adobe X Standard. Anytime I print an Adobe PDF from a Windows based application, I get an error message that reads:
"[Name of my document] could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files in the "PDF Document" format."
And then, Mac's Numbers is automatically opened, without any trigger by me.
Thoughts, anyone? Your help would be most appreciated.

It seems that your document is wrongly linked to an application
Select its icon then press cmd + I
You will get the info window.
I guess that in the local menu "Open With" you will see "Numbers" when it would be "Preview" or "Adobe Reader" or "Skim" or …
Navigate among the displayed list of apps, select the correct one.
Click the button "Apply All".

Pdf viewing problems

I am having issues viewing pdf files that have been downloaded from my works website. It is a flash based ordering system that exports spreadsheets as pdf files for client's viewing. I have downloaded adobe reader for now( I hate this program), but I would love to use preview like I do with all of my other pdf files.
If I try to use preview this message appears. If I use adobe reader the message comes up fine.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Safari takes giant unannounced liberties with my pdf images.
This file: http://homepage.mac.com/jsjudds/fuzzExample.pdf is an image of 121 crisp-edged colored squares. Viewed in Safari (and Preview), all the squares are all blended into their adjacent ones, like camera lenses looking into stage lights. In Adobe Reader it looks as intended, and thankfully it also prints well (even though the view in the print panel is also wrong!).
It's very disconcerting to know that my trusty tool is likely at any moment to vacate reality and show me something that is far from what's really in the file.
What is causing this?
How can I prevent it or control it?
At the very least, how can I detect that it is happening, without having to open everything in Adobe Reader to check it?
The image was generated in Mathematica 6.

Problem with recent Acrobat Standard subscription and opening up PDF's

After doing a 1-month trial for Adobe XI Pro, I completed online purchase yesterday (11/8/14) for annual subscription for Adobe Standard.
And now I can no longer open or read any PDFs on my computer. A prompt comes up that trial period has ended and I need to subscribe (which I have done). I did not expect this and am very frustrated. Is there a lag time for processing the subscription, or is this something related to updates of older version Adobe? I have Windows Vista.

Hi create shortcut,
Acrobat XI isn't supported on Windows Vista, so that could be what the problem is (see Tech specs | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro). Although, it sounds like you were using Acrobat Pro XI on Vista, is that correct?
Your subscription is indeed, active. So, you should be able to simply sign in and use Acrobat Standard (but know that Adobe can't support any technical issues that might arise when using it on an unsupported OS).
Best,
Sara

Acrobat Standard 6.0 Set as Default Viewer, but Browser is looking for Adobe Reader 8 or 9

All,
I use Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 for viewing and creating PDF's. Just a couple of days ago, I tried opening a patent document I found on Google. The browser displayed the following error:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
So I looked for an update for Adobe Reader and downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1.2.
The next PDF document that I opened came up in Adobe Reader....NOT Adobe Acrobat. The installation must have changed the default viewer. So I right-clicked on the PDF file icon and selected OPEN WITH Adobe Acrobat. I clicked the checkbox to "Always open with this program..." This seems to have fixed the default viewer problem, as PDF files now open with Adobe Acrobat Standard...just the way I want things to work.
I still have the problem of not being able to open many documents within a browser...I think because the browser is looking to open the PDF files in Adobe Reader 9.1.2, NOT Acrobat 6.0. But Adobe Acrobat is now the default viewer.
Does Acrobat function independently of Reader? Or is Reader a module that is required for Acrobat to function properly? Whatever the case may be, can somebody suggest a fix for this problem?
Thanks,
Neal

They do not require each other for running as mentioned. There are some modules in common and that is where you run into problems. There are issues with the parts that remain resident also. I would suggest you follow the other advice you have been given. Unfortunately, there are some PDFs that may not open correctly in AA6. You may have run into some of those.
