Acrobat Pro 11 2nd Display Problem

iMac 2013 version running OSX 10.9.4 and Acrobat Pro 11.0.7 - both are the most current version.
The iMac has a 27" display and I use a second monitor next to it in the portrait orientation, a 23" NEC E231W so I can view fine print documents more easily. Everything worked fine until some months ago, it may have been when I upgraded from Acrobat 10 to 11 but I am not sure. It was an irritation that I thought someone (Acrobat or Apple) would fix but they did not. Apple support (I have about 5 AppleCare products under warranty) does not support Acrobat problems.
When I open or move a PDF document to my second monitor using Acrobat, the document on the second screen does not display properly; either the right half is all "whited out" or the text is weirdly scrunched up. See embedded image taken with Grab. Anyway, I discovered today that if I am using Preview (instead of Acrobat) I don't have the problem, so have belatedly discovered a much needed workaround, but of course I cannot use the Acrobat editing functions if the document is displayed on my second screen; all works fine on the iMac display.
The image included shows the same document displayed on my second screen; the top image is using Preview (showing page 1 of 7) and the image below it is using Acrobat.
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Mac Pro: 2nd Display Problem

    Hello,
    I have been having a lot of trouble with a Mac Pro and separate displays. First, it took me quite a bit of playing around to get it to recognize the first display plugged directly into the DVI port. I then went to add a second monitor through a mini display port to DVI adapter, and I cannot get the Mac Pro to recognize the monitor. Nothing shows up in display to suggest that the other monitor is there. Clicking on Detect Displays does nothing. Thinking it could potentially be a bad video card. I am also sure that the adapter, cable, and monitor are not faulty.
    Thanks!

    The video card is an Nvidia GeForce GT 120 512MB RAM. It is a Mac Pro 4,1. I have double checked every connected and I know nothing is loose. Also, when changing out trying to change monitors in hopes that it would be detected, the Mac shut down because of a problem. All of this keeps leading me to a bad video card.

  • Text appearance in adobe acrobat (pro) files displays inconsistently unless you zoom in. Mainly 'i's and 'l's look bigger than they should.

    Text appearance in adobe acrobat (pro) files displays inconsistently unless you zoom in. Mainly 'i's and 'l's look bigger than they should.
    The pdfs print fine though.

    Try doing a spotlight search for all files that start with AdobeFnt. They will be named AdobefntXX.lst, with the XX being some number. They will be scattered across the drive... After making sure that all Adobe applications are closed, trash all the adobefntxx.lst files, those with the 3 letter extension .lst.
    Then, restart the system, and open the files in Acrobat again.
    Otherwise, what happens in Safe boot? (Remember, Safe boot loads only a default set of fonts.) If they display fine there, the problem most likely is a font issue, one of the fonts that Adobe installed.
    Check Adobe's web support page for troubleshooting Fonts.

    Contact Adobe about the whole issue, it is after all, Adobe Acrobat... Adobe's contact number is 800 833 6687.

  • Acrobat 9.2 display problem with arbitrary letters

    I am running Acrobat Pro 9.2 on Mac OS X (10.6.2).  I have several PDFs which display properly in Preview. When opened with Acrobat 9.2, the letters o and X appear not to be displayed. It appears that they are present but drawn in the page color (white).   This bizarre problem just started, but I'm not sure whether an upgrade of OS/Acrobat caused it.  Again, Preview displays them just fine.
    Anyone else seeing anything similar?
    Thanks.

    Most likely they are coloured white and set to 'overprint', although it seems odd to be only those characters...  Not knowing what you have I can only guess. Preview does not honour the overprint attribute which makes white appear transparent in Acrobat.

  • Anti Reflective coating on macbook pro retina display problems

    The AR coating is coming off of my macbook pro retina display.  laptop purchased in fall of 2013.  anyone else seeing this issue?

    You are not the first one. Every laptop with retina display that I know in Latvia has this problem.
    Hope that Apple reads such claims and will do something on upcoming models.

  • Acrobat Pro 8 Printing Problems with Xerox 252 Fiery

    printer: Xerox 252 with Fiery Controller
    Software: Acrobat Pro 8
    OS: WinXp pro
    The problem occurs when I am printing a binder that consists of 8x11 and 11x17's. The printer locks up and does not print. We have had the Xerox techs come out but after numerous trouble shooting efforts we came to a conclusion that there is an issue with Acrobat 8.
    Also, in order to print an 8x11 or 11x17 there is a need to go through and set the file size for each time we print. The check box "print by pdf source size" is checked and we are still having problems.
    I've had no issue with Acrobat 7 and the problems I'm having are with Acrobat pro 8.

    Correction it's a Xerox Docucolor 242 PS with Fiery

  • Acrobat Pro 9.2 problem printing to from IE8

    I have been having a pretty consistant problem since doing a clean install of Win7 Pro and Acrobat Pro 9.2.  If I print preview a webpage and then try to print from it to a .PDF, the screen comes up asking where to file the printout and just hangs.  I can't do anything in the windows explorer window that opens to pick a place to save the file.  I can't cancel it.  The only way to get back it to force it shut down IE8.
    Anyone else experiencing this and have you found a solution?
    I have also had a few site where a link opens a .PDF and the same thing happens if you try to save the .PDF that you are viewing.
    Thanks,

Anyone have any ideas?
    Try Running Disk Utilites and Repair Permissions.
    Use a Utility such as Cocktail, or Oynx to remove Font cache files.
    Run Font Book and Resolve Font Conflicts (more than one copy of the Same Font).
    Also while in Font Book select all you fonts  (Command/apple-A) click on a Font, then choose Validate Fonts.
    Try these and come back with results. Someone else  May be able to come along and suggest something else to look at.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.4 Problems

    I am having several problems with my Acrobat Pro. When I am adding pages to a document, (dragging and dropping from explorer) the pages pane is hiding pages where I can't get to them. If I have 11 pages, and the page pane set to see two pages at a time, the 11 page will be just barely peaking out at the bottom but the scroll bar won't go down any further. I can't place pages at the end of the document cause I can't see the last page.
    Also, it keeps adding multiple drawings backwards....... if you grab documents 1 - 5 in explorer, drag and drop them into acrobat, acrobat drops them 5-1.....
    It didn't use to do this. It has been doing it for a couple of months. I am on a fresh install of the whole computer so it is not corrupted software. It has to be in one of the last updates. There has to be a way to fix this.
    Thanks

    Any idea about the backwards thing?

  • My new MacBook Pro has display problems

    I am new to Mac. I had purchased a brand new MacBook Pro 13 inches with i7 processor on April2 this year, Within 10 days the display screen started to grey out and later  on develop horizontal lines. I telephoned Apple support and when a telephonic solution  became unlikely I was asked to take it to an Apple Authorized service centre in my town. The technician there could not clearly explain to me what was wrong with the system, but I understood him to say that he has reinstalled the graphics driver and the system was trouble free for a prolonged time thereafter (at the service centre). I also understood him to say that should the problem recur again, he would have to replace the motherboard. I was on a travelling tour for a week after this and was not able to test out this repair (I took my old windows system with me for the travel) To my utter dismay the problem has recurred again after 28 days of purchase. I have attached screenshots. The button for uploaing videos is greyed out therefore  I will have to restrict myself to screenshots. All the three screen images occcur
    in turn and the system becomes unusable and I have to use the poweroff button. The display problems start within 10 minutes of switiching on the system.
    I took some time to discover these forums. The first time this problem occurred on my machin I posted this problem on mac-forums and I was advised to take it to an Apple store and let the apple genius bar worry about this one. I do not live wihtin any sort of manageable distance from such a place and the repair centre is an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    Coming to the emotional aspects of this technological glitch. I feel like I have been hit by a truck.I had saved and scraped pennies to buy this dream machine and I believed I was escaping the ficleness of windows. But no windows system of mine (I have three) become so unusable
    Will I have to spend time and effort to lug this machine to service centre to replace each of its component parts one by one ? Can I ever trust this machine to provide a presentation to an audience? What sort of an impression will I create if the system plays this trick on me in the middle of some presentation?

    Shootis007, What is CC company? I googled CC and got many different answers.
    I called Apple Support and told them my story and pressed for replacement and they told me repeatedly that there is no policy for replacement. The initial support person who attended my call asked me to take it to the seller and ask the seller for replacement. I dont think that is the way to go. I dont know what is his fault. He gave me a brand new system, the package was opened by me. Since I am new to Mac, I had taken a Mac user friend with me who showed me how to get started (right there in the shop) Neither the experienced Mac user friend nor I felt anything remiss at that time or later at the Seller level. Nevertheless I called the reseller and he explained his helplessness. I dont think it his fault at all.
    Since I kept insisting on replacment I was put through to another support person who took pains to reassure me that I should get the defective part replaced and thereafter all will be well. For now I trust him. I have no other alternative
    I really am puzzled. All you dear Mac users should know that the machine I dreamed of and really saved to purchase is giving me no end of troubles whereas my three windows machines sit there with their numerous stated deficiencies but gives me uninterrupted service

  • Macbook pro retina display problem

    Hi everyone!
    I just got back from apple service with my retina macbook pro today. it had a display problem with the black paint around the display edge. it still has guarantee, so they obviously replace the whole display for MP PRO retina.
    anyway, before the display maintenance, if i went to the macbook system preferences, choose display settings, i always saw the "retina display" option for my display.
    with the new display, i only see the usual options, but not the retina display option. so basically, i can not choose the retina display setting!
    why is that, is it mean, i don't have retina option on my mb pro?
    thanks for your answers!
    Peter

    thanks my Ginger!
    i wrote an email to them, hope they answer, attached print screens as well.
    but it really strange, 'coz the display says, it is a retina one! but i can not choose "(best) retina" option, like i used to, only "default"

  • Acrobat Pro X font problems.....

    Afternoon
    When we print combined docs from acrobat pro x it is corrupting the fonts and but square boxes or jibberish in place of text, however if we take the same document and print it from Acrobat 9 it works?????
    Any ideas why?

    Thanks so much for your response.  I actually tried this first and had the same results.  Since I posted this, I was able to find a solution.  There is a problem with IE9.  After downloading Google Chrome and following the download instructions, everything worked fine.  Hope this helps others.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 License Problems

    We have successfully installed Acrobat Pro 9.3 on several Windows XP machines, but on others when we try to install we get an error stating that we have an invalid serial number.  It is an enterprise serial number, and like I said does work for most machines.
    Any ideas on why the license works for some but not others.

    They are setup the same.  The weird thing is I can install Adobe Acrobat 8 just fine on the machines that will not allow me to install 9.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 Installation Problem

    I've had Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 running fine for several years on XP Pro.  Our company rolled out upgraded hardware with a new image about a year ago, and I cannot successfully install 8 on any of the units.  Most recent issue, using CD, install went up to accepting end user license. I accepted and then installation froze and I had to End Program.  When I try to launch now, Getting Started splash screen comes up then program freezes and terminates.  It seems like a permissions/security issue, can anybody assist?

    I assume the new system is Win7 and most likely a 64-bit system. If so, you may just have to upgrade to AA XI. Folks have gotten AA8 to work on a Win7 32-bit system. You might be successful if you download the updates for AA8 and install those. I think it took at least AA8.1 to work with a 64-bit XP.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 - Signature - problems

    I have used Acrobat Pro for a number of years for editing and filling out forms (newbie).
    I had a signature set up in the last Acrobat (I think 7) which was a typed signature saying it was digitally signed and gave the name and date.
    Here is my question:
    I am completely lost in trying to set up my signature in Adobe and need some help.  I have 2 signatures in .jpeg form and would like to use these if possible.
    Thank you guys for your help and I have continually browed the forums and picked up a few tricks of the trade.

    Is this something you want to use as the signature appearance for a digital signature, or just add the image as you would with a stamp?
