Acrobat 9 scrambles graphics

Just updated to 9. First document I convert and all I can say is %&*(^. I have had nothing but problems with Acrobat. 6 stopped working all together (could not install/uninstall or repair), 7 was a joke that couldn't convert anything over 20 pages without hanging... Well, brand new computer with Office 2007 and Acrobat 9. Things looked fine at first, but then as I page through the pdf, some of the graphics have black bars across them, other graphics have parts rotated and copied so they are totally scrambled... WHAT??? Is there a patch or any help on this? The Word document prints the graphics fine - it's only Acrobat that has the problem. And No, I will not convert the document using the print function. I need the links to be working throughtout the document. That's what I paid for. I can use the free CutePdf (which does not hose up my graphics) if I didn't want working links.
I am on XP Pro, using Office 2007. Converting using Press Quality PDF Writer.

I've not seen this behavior, but I have zero (0) items on my desktop. Not even my Hard disks.

X60, x60s scrambled graphics in outlook express

I have a very strange problem with my x60(1706-8DU). The problem only occurs in Outlook Express under XP Pro. I can't read HTML messages and I can't reply to msg's at all. When I read msg in HTML, the message is grayed out. I can read only if I convert to text only. If I try to reply to the message(either in HTML or text), the reply area consists of scrambled graphics of the background and I can't type in the reply at all. Originally, I thought my xp was corrupted and I reformated the drive with system restore. the problem gone away for a little while and it came back. I had changed all the RAM and that didn't help. I also requested and received a new drive and the replacement drive and that didn't help either. I had since get an non-Lenovo drive and the problem seem to had gone away. I have a friend who has a x60s(only 6 months old) and she has exactly the same problem. I reformatted her drive and this problem came back right the way. Has anybody got the same problem and how did you solved it? Thx

Applications launcher popup - Scrambled graphics

Hello,
I am getting a very very strange UI bug in OS X Lion (both 10.7.2 and 10.7.3).. When I click on my applications folder in the dock, the launcher window that pops up has very warbled and scrambled graphics. Pieces are being drawn in the wrong place and are stretched out beyond their inherent resolutions etc. It's not a very dangerous problem but it does trouble me that such a major part of the UI is completely messed up like that. I am using a Mac Mini 2011.

A minor update and kudos for Lenovo/IBM support:
A couple of phone calls to IBM (who service/support Lenovo here) and the machine has been picked up by a courier (within 90 minutes, which is great!). What was particularly good was that the gent from IBM Brisbane asked me at the beginning of our conversation whether I was technical, and when I said "yes", he didn't stuff me around - we got straight to the meat of the problem and had narrowed it down to a hardware problem pretty quickly. I cannot begin to tell you how much that means: in the past, I've had Dell tech support on the phone asking me to reinstall Windows over Linux on a failed hard drive before they would accept that it had failed, and similar nonsense from help desk people who insist on going through a script that doesn't even make sense if the user is completely clueless.
Sounds like this will be a system board replacement, and since it has to be back-ordered (made worse by the CTO nature of the machine) it will be a couple of weeks. Hopefully, I'll be able to check the "Solved" icon then.
Best,
--- Les

Scrambled graphics in iMovie and iPhoto

When using iMovie and Wondershare Video Editor I get scrambled graphics which has now spread to iPhoto. Will my iMac recover by itself or is this a sign of a damaged graphic card or similar. Graphics on the internet seem to be working OK. I'm using 4GB ram, is this perhaps not enough memory for intensive work with video editing and editing in PhotoShop?

Be patient. Apple's servers are currently inundated. Try again later or tomorrow.

"Scrambled" graphics at boot - MSI 6600GT, Neo4-f mobo

I've tried the search option and I don't seem to be able to find this exact problem, but here it goes:
I recently built a new system with a K8N Neo4-F motherboard, 1gig Kingston Ram, Athlon64 3500+, and a 128 MB GeForce 6600GT (also MSI). I'm not sure if I have a graphics issue, a monitor issue, or a motherboard issue, but in either case, every now and then, when I boot my machine I get "scrambled" graphics when the POST screen appears. The system continues to load Windows XP (screen still looks messed up), and just before it's done loading windows, the screen just shuts off.
When the machine boots without these symptoms (the majority of the time) I have no problems. Windows loads just fine, games load and run just fine with no glitches and I can play for hours without a single problem.
I update my BIOS from 1.A0 to 1.B0 last night but have not had a chance to really "monitor" the problem since. LiveUpdate said my graphics card BIOS is up to date.
Any thoughts?
A couple other details:
I'm using a 17 inch CRT monitor, and my PSU is a 360 Watt Thermaltake unit.
Ow and PS: Before anybody suggests, I do not have any replacement parts, nor do I know anybody that has a new enough PC that I can try the card in another machine

You're welcome, ChrisB.
If, as it seems, we have the same problem, I sincerely doubt that your MoBo is concerned. I had the opportunity to test the card on a friend's PC, moreover the techno-guy of the store checked it out again. That is to say 3 different MoBos... and always the same issue. When things like this happen you can be pretty sure that the card is the faulty item. So don't worry . Actually, when I managed to boot the PC, the card worked perfectly, therefore I first decided to just ignore the problem. But these kind of events have the terrible power of a to annoy you to death, and every boot was to my eyes a painful experience ("Will it happen again?"). That's why I decided to RMA the card.
Good luck and see you

Thanks for the prompt reply.
My problem does indeed sound exactly like what you experienced. I think I've just about exhausted every option by now. I've been a bit hestitant to RMA the card because it's a periodic problem so my concern was that I would just get the card back with "no problems found".
I seriously hope it's the graphics card and not the MB, cause I can't stand the thought of having to reinstall the motherboard :D

Problem convert word 2007 acrobat 8 graphics to pdf

Having difficulty converting certain graphics from Word on Windows 7 Professional PC to Adobe PDF.
The same problem exists on the same PC regardless of whether Word 2007 or Word 365 is the originating software. So it is not a problem with the version of Word being used as some blogs have suggested.
Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.4 is installed, and Adobe 8 Distiller is configured according to the settings required.
PDF is created by using Word: File > Print > Adobe PDF Maker

OK.
Cracked it. I hope this saves you some time.
The issues all seem to stem from Word 2007.
Things to get urls working seem to be as follows :
all links in word can't have a trailing /
http://www.subliminal-power.co.uk/ - NO
http://www.subliminal-power.co.uk - YES
When you add a url, each url must have a Screen Tip. You should have this anyway if you're sharing your word doc. It is all for the visually impared and audio I believe.
You have to use tables and not word art for boxes.
Happy Days

Acrobat Disforms Graphics

I am using Word 2007 and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
When i convert a Word-File with Vektor-Graphics it disforms some of them them completely.
Word:
PDF:
ADOBE ACROBAT 8 didi it correctly. And i couldn't find any Setting where i can change this behaviour.
Has anybody an idea?

This might not help you much, but this sounds very similar to a problem I discussed here previously (Aug 20, 2009 - 2:56am).
The contributors here concluded (as I did) that it was a bug.
I reported this on the Adobe bug page but, so far, it hasn't been fixed (Acrobat Standard 9.3 exhibits the same issue).

IMovie 10 scrambled graphics

PDF from Word 2007 ends up with scrambled Chinese characters

I have a problem with PDF files when converted from a Word 2007 document that includes Traditional Chinese characters and I hope someone might be able to help or point me in the right direction. After converting it to PDF via "Create PDF" from the Acrobat toolbar, the Chinese characters are all wrong. It looks like Chinese but none of the characters actually exist, it's all scrambled and useless. Converting English or German text works fine, so far, it's only the Traditional Chinese text that causes problems.
The strange thing is that prior to installing Office 2007, all worked just fine. I could convert Chinese text from Word 2003 without any problems and other than updating to Word 2007, nothing has changed. Any idea where to start trouble shooting and how to fix it? I've already tried re-installing and reparing both Word and Acrobat but no improvement.
OS: WinXP Professional SP3 (English system)
Adobe: Master Collection CS4 (English)
Acrobat: Acrobat 9 Pro v9.1.3 (English)
PDF Maker: Conversion Settings are set to default "Smallest File Size Web"
Word: Microsoft Office Word 2007 (12.0.6504.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000)
Note: Using "Save As" and select "PDF or XPS" in Word 2007 works fine, the Chinese characters show up properly in the PDF file but I prefer using the PDF Maker from Acrobat to create my PDF files.

I have found that WORD 2007, particularly with docx files, does some strange things to PDF files that you produce. It seems to break a perfectly good graphic into parts and send the parts to the PDF (not usually a problem unless you zoom in). We have tested with AA8 and AA7 with WORD 2007 and gotten these results. WORD 2003 worked like expected. It is almost as though MS decided to put some hooks in OFFICE 2007 for Acrobat. Normally with Acrobat, the graphics come out as a single graphic as stored in the application.
Glad you got the character issue to work. I use a job.settings file that is distributed by a publisher to get an "optimized" form of product for posting. Of course, optimized is always in the eye of the beholder, but I have been happy with it.

Question About Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

i dont know the program that well..but im trying to put together a pdf of images, a different image on each page of the pdf..i pretty much got that part down
my problem is someone images which resolutions arent that big are coming out much smaller then even there resolution so i was wondering how these can be resized with acrobat while on the page that im creating
like i said dont get confused the images are a good size outside of the program so its not just resizing the image and thats that..its when there added to a page in acrobat that they show smaller then they actually are..this is only a select few so please someone tell me if theres way within the program to resize an image on the page

I think the print margin aspect depends on how you are creating the PDF. If you open the graphics directly in Acrobat, the graphics will open with the margins defined in the graphic in the cases I have done. Small pictures have a real small margin and such. Laying what you want out in another application, be it WORD or one of the Adobe layout packages, is the better way to accomplish the task. Acrobat is meant to provide printing, not layout like you are trying to do.
To put the graphics in directly and be able to adjust size, you would need to add blank pages and on each locate the image on a button (Tools menu). The button would then be set up with the ICON only, using the image at the icon. The advantage of this approach is that you can scale the graphic. If you import the graphic directly, you can not scale it.
Again, the best approach is to use another program to layout your photos as desired and then print to the Adobe PDF printer. The other user has suggested WORD and that is one possibility. If you use WORD, be sure to use the ctrl-Enter or break menu to create new pages. Do not use line breaks to create the paging.

Acrobat 9 pro extended question about saving -- yes

Hi guys,
my problem is kinda simple: If i change a pdf document using acrobat 9 pro and save, it just saves at the original document I was opening. Of course, when I choose save to, it suggest the own documents folder.
Problem now: If I change something and want to close it, the program asks me to save. If I answer yes, it doesnt just saves, it's suggesting the own documents folder, like I'd say "save to".
Is there any possibilty to change this?

Xerox Global Driver and Graphics

We're on Windows XP SP-2 and Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.12.
We recently deployed Xerox MFD models 5632, 5645, 5665 and 7345 (color). We are using the latest Xerox Global PCL 6 and PS drivers on all models. When users print documents with letterhead the contains a state seal graphic, in Acrobat the graphic is a very dark box with the seal barely visible. In Reader, it prints fine. Any driver.
I read the previous posts regarding this and there doesn't seem to be any resolution on the Adobe side. It seems odd that Acrobat blacks it out, but Reader is ok. Any ideas why that happens?
I'm going to cross post this on the Reader forum.
Thanks,

Hi:
The parts list for your notebook indicates that it has a Realtek RT8723BE 802.11bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 combination adapter.
These would be the W8.1 drivers you need for that card...
Wireless:

Bluetooth:
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=ob_142906_1
See if the Intel graphics driver directly from Intel works...

Then install the nvidia hd graphics driver.

2011 13 MBP i5 ***debug info for apparent hang in main graphics engine ***

*debug info for apparent hang in main graphics engine *
console is giving me this message and it is affecting my MBP's ability to wake from sleep correctly. I get either a dark screen or scrambled graphics and have to hold the power button to re-boot.
(I do have an external display hooked up to the MBP, this was never an issue with all my past Macbooks.)

My 15" MBP 15 Core i7 has the same problem. Spoke with AppleCare and tried resetting to power management unit and the PRAM; no improvement. Also tried reinstalling the 10.6.7 'early 2011 macbook pro' update - still no change.
Each attempt at waking from sleep produces a series of the same error messages in Console. Here's the full series:

Re-sleeping and re-waking the machine occasionally lets the screen come back on.
The machine itself is running; I can ssh into it from another computer.
I tried disabling hibernation, too (http://danwarne.com/how-to-turn-off-slow-sleep-hibernate-mode-on-a-macbook-pro/), with no change.
Anyone with new information on the issue? Going to take it to the Apple Store, I suppose, once I have time...

When I use yahoo images and i open an image in a new window, it tweakes out firefox so that panes are distorted and exerything, the whole firefox browser looks like an F5 tornado took it apart and lumped it on my desktop... is this a known glitch?

When I use yahoo images and open an image in a new window, the page, once I click its tab causes the entire browser to scramble graphically, making it nearly impossible to navigate further. I right-clicked and selected close tab. That regains the visual clarity of the browser. But how can I fix this to browse the images?

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

After upgrade to 10.8.1, Internet access stops after approx. 50MB of traffic.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and when I started upgrading OS components and other apps, downloads would stop after about 50MB. Once this happens, all requests in internet browsers also lost internet access. If I turn Airport off and then on again, I can access the internet but the same problem occurs again once I continue other downloads.
I have other computers and they don't suffer from this problem, so I know if is not my internet provider or my wireless network.
Any ideas?

Me too! I'm also getting display problems in emails where scrambled graphics are overlaid interactive parts of emails like dates telephone numbers!
