Acrobat displaying blank "grey" pages

I am running XP with Acrobat 6.0.0 standard. When I open documents, some of them only open a blank grey page, and some open the document but the images are greyed out. The status bar shows "Done".

In the preferences of Adobe Acrobat enable the entry 'Show large images'.

10.1 Update - WinXP - PDF in IE shows blank (grey) page

Hello everyone,
after we rolled out the update to 10.1 some of our users, as well as some of our customers experience problems viewing PDF Files within Internet Explorer.
As you click a PDF, the Browser just shows a dark grey page, rest is blank.
I tried a few things:
- If you press F5 while viewing the blank page, the PDF suddenly shows up.
- Repairing / Reinstalling fixes the problem, but only until you reboot.
- Changing some settings, like protected mode also fixes the problem... still it only lasts until the reboot.
From what I can tell, I only see Windows XP Users affected, and only Internet Explorer users. Mostly are Version 6 and 7 (which we need on a handful of PCs due to compatibility issues, but only use it for internal applications). I also heard from some IE8 users that the problem occures (most probably when compatibility mode is on I guess).
Firefox and our Windows 7 Users with IE8 and 9 seem not affected.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I wish I had an answer for you but I am having the exact same issue. We use a web based app for our expense reporting and viewing the reciepts does the exact same thing. The first reciept actually opens just fine but if you want to go and view another one it just pops up a grey screen. if you close concur and go back in then it will open it. Like you said it works if you his f5 to refresh or with the grey screen still open you can hit the Reciepts button again and it opens.
If you figure out what it is please re-post!
Thanks!

Safari Displays Blank White Page

Hello,
I have 10.8.2 server that Safari displays a blank white page on every website you try to access. If you go to apple's website you can click on where the links would be and the page will change however it displays a blank page. Firefox works fine... Any Ideas?
Thanks,

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Reader X displays scanned images as blank, grey pages

I have a great many PDFs (version 1.5) that are now unreadable with Acrobat X. These pages consist of scanned images that were converted to PDF, but now the pages are grey. You can search the OCR of the documents as before, but you can't see the pages. I have other PDFs that were created the same way at the same time, but don't have that problem, so it's inconsistent. The problem does not exist with Reader 9.

In my case: v10.1.1 would not open more than one pdf at a time on a user workstation (although mine did) so I tried disabling protected mode and made sure the large image display setting was correct.
To no avail. Reinstalled version base version 10, checked the same settings...no joy
Also tried repairing the install and re-updated from the base v10...still no love
Solution for me: Opened reader X, under Help-->Online Support, there is an option to generate a system report which availed the following:
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
Version: 7.15.10.9685
Check: Not Supported
And of coarse the most recent driver was already present. Had to go back to v9.4
All good now. Hope this saves someone a few hours!

Some books display blank white pages

After installing DE (1.0.467) I purchased a book at ebooks.com and downloaded it. The book is in the library but the pages are all blank (white). The "Item Info" command says "The document appears to have minor errors that might cause it to be displayed incorrectly".
I thought it might be a book I purchased but the title "This Side of Paradise" I downloaded from the DE free library does the same thing. I can open "This Side of Paradise" in Adobe Acrobat 7.0 and it works fine. The purchased book can't be opened because of DRM.
Does anyone have any idea as to what might be going on? I've tried re-installing DE but the same errors occur.

What kind of book is it? Does it consist of scanned images? Digital Editions does not yet support JPEG2000, which causes the images to be not rendered. ANother possibility is that some publications (very few) use a deprecated type of font (Type 1 symbolic) that are also not yet suppported by Digital Editions. But this is rare. More likely, the images are JPEG2000.

Blank (grey) Pages start screen instead of documents / folders

Unfortunately, since today Pages shows me a blank screen (see image) when I open it on my iPad. I've updated iOS and I've deleted Pages and re-downloaded it to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any way to fix it?
Thank you!

Website opened in safari is a blank white page

all of safari is working just fine with the ecepection of one website which simply opens as a blank white page?

There may be an issue related to cookies set by the site in your browser;
or perhaps they want to set more cookies than your settings allow. So
you could see if the site opens in another browser (copy link) or if you do
find the cookies specific to that site, in Safari, delete them & try again.
A way to reset Safari it fairly easy, but it wipes all saved cookies when you
use the Reset Safari from its drop-down menu. Some users had found a
variety of similar issue, and at times in more than one browser.
Not sure what that's about. I have five different browsers, and can choose
to set some of them so the site 'sees them' as another brand, for the sake
of compatibility. Some web sites are poorly constructed, too.
Here's another take on this situation, and a detailed method to try & make
it work; should resetting cookies, etc not help...

Hi, I’ve recently bought an iPad2 and can’t get connected with AppStore or iTunes, when I tap on these icons a grey page pops up saying is loading but never opens the page, no failure message is displayed, it just keep saying is loading.
Apparently it is not an issue with wifi since Safari, You Tube and Maps work well, I’ve tried some of the tips, e.g. log off/on my Id, change password but no one worked.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Luis.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Blank user displayed in the "Page Views Per user"

Hi everybody,
When I display my Application "Page Views By user" statistic bars digram (by going through
Home>HTML DB Workspace Administration>Monitor Activity>Page Views by User), I have a blank username that is displayed with a certain number of page views. Does anybody know what this comes from?
Thanks!

Safari displays grey page after clicking on a download link.

As I wrote in the title of this post Safari (5.0.1) opens up a new tab which displays grey page and fails to download a file.
Thanks for your help guys!

HI,
From your Safari Menu Bar click Safari / Empty Cache.
As for downloads.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Open open the Library folder then the Safari folder.
Move the Download.plist file to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari.

Displays blank page when tried to access ORACLE Application Server Control

Hi,
I have successfully installed the Oracle SOA Suite using advance installation.
But when tried to open ORACLE APPLICATION SERVER CONTROL by following the below path.
start-> programs-> oracle-soa->ORACLE APPLICATION SERVER CONTROL, It displays a blank IE page.
But when tried to open BPEL control or WSM control or ESB control, it takes me to the login page.
Note: Started the SOA suite and the status of ASG component in the Start SOA page says Down.Does this affect in anyways?
Would appreciate if anyone could throw some light on this.

Hi All,
I started reinstalling SOA suite and while installation, I encounter below warning.
"A DHCP configuration was detected on this host" The installer also detected that the localhost name and network hostname differ. please resolve the networking issues by reffering the "Installing on DHCP computers" section in the installation guide."
Note: Doing installation in the server.
Wondering this could be the cause for displaying blank Application Server Control page.
And here is, what it says in the installation guide.
Note this limitation when running Oracle Application Server on DHCP computers: Oracle Application Server instances on DHCP computers cannot communicate with other instances running on other computers. For example, you cannot have OracleAS Infrastructure on one computer and a middle tier on another computer if any one of those computers uses DHCP. All the instances that need to communicate with each other need to run on the same computer. There are no limitations on clients: clients from other computers can access the instances running on the DHCP computer, as long as the client computer can resolve the DHCP computer on the network.
The solution for this is installing loopback adapter. But the catch is, I have few webmethods running on the server. Wondering about the effects of Loop back adadpter on webmethods. Please someone throw some light.
Regards
jude.

Adobe acrobat pro x change the program's default page display to single page view - Windows 8, HP La

adobe acrobat pro x change the program's default page display to single page view - Windows 8, HP Laptop

Since there were no answers, I will take a stab at a reponse. For the 2nd method, I suspect you could simply select the print or press job options to get the desired results or turn off "use local fonts" in Acrobat. If you check the font list, the fonts are probably not embedded and that is likely the problem.
I noticed that you have both Reader and Acrobat installed and that might cause some conflict, but should not be the issue here. If you were to uninstall Reader, you would have to repair Acrobat. The conflict here is that you might have problems with the one opening when you want the other. If it works for you, then don't worry about it.
For technique 1, I suspect you may be using IE 9 that has apparently been a problem since it came out. I have refused to install it. However, it may simply be that PDF Maker does not work correctly with your browser, or got deactivated and needs to be allowed to run in your browser (IE I am assuming).

Safari 5.1 displaying blank page

After installing Lion, when going to most websites, the page apears for a brief moment then it goes away and a blank page is displayed. Does not happen with every website, e.g., apple.com works fine. Microsoft.com works fine also. MBUSA.com goes blank after flashing on screen. skype.com does not work. Is it possible that Safari is not supporting Flash?
Any help will be appreciated! I though something this fundamental would have been discovered by Apple prior to release! I shouldn't have to do anything to display a web page. This is unlike Apple and more like Microsoft!

i'm having difficulty, as well with about 95% of my sites. i attempted the url you suggested earlier and it loaded quickly.
my solution is hitting the 'reload' button and it works 95% of the time.
however, this is a fine temporary fix, but i have to say that it's quite frustrating. i'm thinking this started happening a couple of weeks ago. couldn't tell you why.

OWA 2007 not displaying (blank page)

Hi there..
I also had this problem, took a while to figure it out..
At first the page would not load and there would be a yellow exclamation mark in the bottom left corner, if you click that it would say “syntax error on line 7 of login.aspx” or something to that effect. After trying may things, I removed and then re-created the OWA virtual directory in IIS using . After this, the yellow exclamation mark in the bottom left corner went away and you were presented with a blank white page.
After much search around for some log file or explanation for why this was happening, I once again recreated the OWA virtual directory, checked all rights and permissions and still the blank white page.
In absolute desperation, I looked at the code in the source code for the OWA site, here are some of the relevant bits:



<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; CHARSET=utf-8">
<meta name="Robots" content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
<title>Microsoft Exchange - Outlook Web Access</title>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/owa/8.0.709.0/themes/base/logon.css">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/owa/8.0.709.0/themes/base/owafont.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/owa/8.0.709.0/scripts/premium/flogon.js"></script>
Compared to another server of mine:



<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; CHARSET=utf-8">
<meta name="Robots" content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
<title>Microsoft Exchange - Outlook Web Access</title>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/owa/8.0.685.24/themes/base/logon.css">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/owa/8.0.685.24/themes/base/owafont.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/owa/8.0.685.24/scripts/premium/flogon.js"></script>
Notice the difference in the paths.. the OWA virtual directory looks like this: (http://www.g7web.net/downloads/owa1.jpg)
Perhaps a dodgy update on the 29th or something, whatever the reason the files in the 8.0.709.0 folder don’t seem to be working, so, I used the files from the 8.0.685.24 folder and copied them into the 8.0.709.0 folder, now everything works!
Not sure what update of patch caused the problem, will do some more investigation into it.
Hope this helps someone.
