Acrobat Pro 9 colour separations displaying incorrectly

Hi
Running Acrobat Pro 9 on OSX 10.6.4. We have an Indesign pdf which has multiple spot colours in it. When viewing the individual separations in Acrobat Pro 9 it displays them in colour, rather than black. It is also showing the separation below the one that is actually selected. This is only happening on one of our Macs - the other Macs show separations correctly.
We've never come across this before and seem to be unable to find any way to fix it. Perhaps removing preferences would help, but not sure exactly which files to remove?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks

I am having the same issue. I did some testing and deleted the preferences and that put the program back in sync. The issue still remains for me because when I select output preview the default profile is not the chosen profile for sync from bridge and Acrobat be comes un synchronized. I hope the issue is addressed with a workaround or update quickly.

  • 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.

  • Acrobat  CD Form Button Display incorrectly  when an effect  or transparency  is applied  Via indesign  Looks like a bug

    I have tested existing interactive pdfs that function perfectly in Acrobat XI and Adobe acrobat Reader but open the same files in Acrobat DC and Acrobat DC Reader and most of the documents i have designed and produces over last few years have been renderer useless
    Basically any interactive  form field wich uses  Effects,  Transparency  or  mode changes  like multiply  in every instance the  whole form element appear as a pixelated mess
    I have been posting  in an indesign Thread  https://forums.adobe.com/message/7427566#7427566  it contains  picture and a sample document
    Steve Werner has been helping  me   and has suggest  i post here too
    Graeme,
    I downloaded your PDF file. I have both Acrobat DC and Acrobat XI Pro and I can confirm that I view it the same way that you do.
    It clearly seems to be a bug. In the Acrobat beta group, most users are probably not InDesign users, and most of us who do use InDesign probably didn't create or test Show/Hide buttons using those forms of transparency. I'm sure it's not intentional, probably a side effect of some other change.
    It needs to be reported as a bug. I'd suggest using the Bug Report form here:
    Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    Also, there are several Acrobat forums. I'd suggest posting (if you haven't already) in the these two forums:
    Rich Media & 3D
    PDF Forms

    It's good that you'll be submitting a bug. This sort of thing has happened before, and I think it's related some to the fact that InDesign is capable of generating field appearances that you can't set up in Acrobat (transparency in particular).

  • Why do fonts and vector images look broken in Acrobat Pro (on retina display)

    I often get scared of doing something horribly wrong every time I export to PDF from Indesign CC. I know I didn't mess up but my scariness is the effect of the terrible graphic support in Acrobat when viewing the pdf's. Fonts and Vector images look broken and the look of fonts only gets better after zooming in at an incredible 6400% ! Are my preference settings in Acrobat wrong or is it because Acrobat doesn't support Retina yet?

  • Acrobat Pro displays bitmapped when opening application. Do i need to re-install this?

    I recently bought Adobe Creative Cloud. I bought several of the applications for desk top publishing. The Adobe Acrobat Pro does not display very well. It appears bitmapped, nothing in the applicaiton seems shape. This is also seen in the high resolution pdfs I have opened. Do I need to re-install this application or is there something that I need to download?

    Hi kevind45759405,
    Since you are an annual subscriber of Acrobat XI, you are eligible to install the latest version of this software i.e. Acrobat DC that has been launched today.
    You can simply install it from the Creative Cloud desktop application and activate it with your same Adobe credentials.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Clicking "Edit PDF form" stops Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 from working. [FIXED]

    As the title says, whenever I click "Edit PDF form" in Acrobat Pro 11, it displays the message "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then when I click OK it closes.
    It is a fresh install.  I tried reinstalling, by removing it first, i tried a repair, I also tried using Revo Uninstaller to clean up anything that was left after an uninstall, and still no joy.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    It is running on Windows 8.1 Update (x64), and the version number for Acrobat Pro is 11.0.10.
    Thanks!
    **Update**
    While I was writing this I had an epiphany, so I checked the Windows application logs which logged the following error every time Acrobat crashed...
    Faulting application name: Acrobat.exe, version: 11.0.10.32, time stamp: 0x547e97af
    Faulting module name: nvd3dum.dll, version: 9.18.13.4121, time stamp: 0x5474d740
    Exception code: 0xc0000005
    which lists nvd3dum.dll as the culprit.  This has something to do with my Nvidia graphics card or drivers (NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600)
    So after a little research I discovered a little registry tweak which "specifies the number of seconds that the GPU can delay the preempt request from the GPU scheduler. This is effectively the timeout threshold. The default value is 2 seconds." (Quoted from MSDN)
    So I added the REG_DWORD value TdrDelay to the key path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers, and changed the value to 8.  After rebooting this seemed to have solved the issue I was having.
    Here's a screenshot...
    Hope this helps someone!

    We created forms in acrobat 9 pro and now with XI pro cannot edit them.  Error message states that livecycle designer is required to edit forms previously created in acrobat.  Called tech support and waited for over an hour before being told that another product needed to be purchased for $300 more than the upgrade cost for acrobat pro XI!!!  From the XI FAQ - The web site states:
    The following customers are eligible for a free upgrade:
    Customers who purchased a prior license to Acrobat and have purchased an upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro
    Customers who have an Adobe Maintenance and Support contract or purchased Upgrade Plan eligible for an Acrobat XI Pro upgrade
    Active Creative Cloud Complete members whose memberships started before October 15, 2012
    The one-time LiveCycle Designer upgrade is available in English, French, German, or Japanese. Eligible customers can choose which language they would like to receive. Visit the Customer Support Portal to request an upgrade.
    After entering in the needed info on the support portal was told that adobe will Not honor the sales rep & web site which both said we are eligible for the free upgrade.  We asked for a full refund and will not longer be using any new adobe products.  We went back to 9 pro forms work fine and adobe lost $.  Nice work adobe - lie to customers and then act surprised that the customers want their $ back!  They told us to just toss their software DVD in the trash where IT belongs, so we did!
    Cheers,

  • Acrobat Pro with design premium will not start

    Yesterday I downloaded CS4 Design Premium.  All of the programs work except for Acrobat Pro.  It displays the following: An internal server error occurred.
    I have tried all of the usual things like restarting.  Removing preferences, no luck.  Uninstalling and restarting then reinstalling, no luck.
    What am I missing?  I am using a MacBook Pro 2.33ghz intel core duo, 2g ram, with OSX 10.5.8. 
    Thanks in advance
    William

    Well I solved my own problem. 
    Delete this file. 
    You can find it on this path.
    After I removed the file everything worked fine.
    I am not sure where this file came from but I know removing it fixed the problem.

  • Can't select CMYK text colour for text fields in Acrobat Pro forms?

    I have designed a business card template in Indesign, and now want to use Acrobat Pro to add in text fields so that a client can edit the contact details on the cards in future.
    I need to select a specific text colour for the fields, so that it matches the rest of the design. The cards will obviously need to be printed and the document has been set up in CMYK, but when I enter the CMYK colour breakdown in the Properties > Text Colour panel, it won't apply the colour to that field. The text either stays at the default black, or reverts to RGB - which isn't suitable for printing and doesn't match the colour I need.
    Can anybody PLEASE shed some light on this? Other similar posts have either not been answered or people have suggested JavaScript..? I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with a JS code..? Surely there's an easier explanation?
    Thanks in advance.

    This is for a text field that you create in Acrobat, whether the form is used offline or online. The script is a custom Format script, which you can place by bringing up the Properties dialog for the field, select the Format tab, set a format category of Custom, and you should see where you can enter the script. Change the string "Instructional text goes here" to the text you want to display when the field is blank.

  • My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back.  It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

    My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back.  It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

    Wow!  I think I had this same issue just last night.
    I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside.  Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly.  It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle.  Of course I took no pictures!!!  I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
    But I digress...  The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect.  After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though.  There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top.  After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen.  I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background.  After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle.  After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange.  But I believe that might be all in my head now.
    So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

  • How do I uncheck the "open in low resolution" box for Acrobat Pro 10.1.10 in a MBP with retina display?

    I have the "open in low resolution" box checked by default and I can not uncheck it because it is shaded out. I already tried the "uninstall Acrobat, delete the 'com.adobe.PDFAdminSettings.plist' file, and reinstall"  solution, but it did not work. I am using Adobe CS6, acrobat pro 10.1.10, macbook pro w/ retina display, and OS X 10.9.4.

    I don't think Acrobat 10 is capable of that. Only the very latest Acrobat 11 update has some concessions for Retina displays.

  • Display page numbers in Acrobat Pro 9

    I was just upgraded to Acrobat Pro 9. On my previous version of Acrobat, when viewing a multi-page PDF there was a field at the bottom of the page that said that I was on "Page X of Y". I deal with a lot of large documents, and I need to be able to track where I am, especially when I'm adding and deleting groups of pages.
    In Acrobat 9, the display that tells me what page I'm on is missing. I've searched through the menus, preferences, knowledgebase, etc, and I haven't been able to find something that will turn this on.
    I'm not talking about adding page numbers to a document. I just want to know that when I'm paging through a 300+ page PDF, I'm on the Xth page of the document.
    Is this available in version 9?

  • Blurry Adobe Acrobat on Macbook Pro 15" Retina Display

    Hello everyone,
    I bought a Macbook Pro 15" on 31st October, everythings working great with the Retina Display except for when I open up Acrobat Pro... the interface is very blurry as well as whatever file I open up. The graphics card is Intel Iris Pro. I'm currently running Adobe CC on my computer and everything is updated. Does anyone know a fix for this?
    Thank you!

    Well that certainly helps in terms of making the image larger – only problem is with the low resolution there's a loss of clarity and pixelisation of the image; so not the same level of quality...
    In System Preferences/Display, what resolution do you have your screen set to? Try changing that also to see if the two settings can work together. Also, since the vast majority of users (Mac or PC) don't have Retina Displays, isn't what you're seeing with Low Resolution checked in Photoshop closer to what most people will see? Remember that Apple's software, such as Safari, have been upgraded to take full advantage of the rMBP display; most other browsers, especially in Windows, haven't.
    And if you want to tinker with the rMBP's resolution even further, check out "Eye-Friendly" in the App Store.

  • Large images not displaying properly in Acrobat Pro 9

    When creating PDF documents from any software (Illustrator, Corel, InDesign, etc), color objects over 50% of the page size have white fill. If object has an outline, the outline will appear normally, but the fill will be white. I've searched forums everywhere and have found no answer. Most forum topics on this are issue focus on settings in the program that exported the PDF. I am 99% sure this is not an export problem, but is something in Acrobat itself (a missed setting? Corrupt program file?)  
    To provide the best information, I've done a little scientific research. Here is what I know:
    Currently running Acrobat Pro 9.5.5
    This is only happening on ONE install of Acrobat 9. Documents display correctly in Reader X and in Acrobat 9 on other machines.
    Started happening a few weeks ago, I have no idea what changed.
    "Show Large Images" in preferences dialog is checked. Unchecking it and rechecking it does nothing.
    Have installed all available updates to the software
    I experimented with different object sizes. At 50% of page size, objects appeared normal, at 51% filled object disappears.
    Does not affect photos, only affects vector objects.
    I welcome all ideas to fix this.
    ALSO - Am running this on Windows Vista 64 Bit

    Hello? Is there nobody in the Adobe universe that has an actual solution to my problem?
    Other things I've tried to solve this:
    repair the install.
    uninstall and reinstall
    cuss at the computer
    throw a tantrum.
    I will pay someone a whole dollar for a solution that works.

  • If I buy a new MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display is OSX Mavericks Preinstalled? Or we should pay separately for the OSX Mavericks.

    I was planning to buy a Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display. I was kinda confused if the MacBook Pro has OSX Mavericks pre-installed or we should buy it separately? Pls. Reply ASAP... We will buy it this Christmas Season 2013... Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The latest MacBook Pro is only compatible with OS X Mavericks, so it comes with OS X Mavericks. The problem comes with older MacBooks Pro, because they may come with Mountain Lion or OS X Mavericks.
    As OS X Mavericks is already installed, you do not need to do anything to get it. Also, OS X Mavericks is free of charge
