Acrobat Pro X - Pixelated rendering

Recently upgraded from Acrobat Pro 9 to X version. I'm really unhappy with it.
Better than all explanations, pictures :
Acrobat 9:
Acrobat X:
Both document has been scanned on OSX 10.7 with both versions up to date.
Scanning and Acrobat settings are similar with both versions, mostly default values, and pdfs produced are similar size.
The Acrobat X scanned document renders fine in Acrobat, but not in OSX Preview Application, which these screenshots are coming from.
And more important, printing gives the same horrible 80s fax pixelated rendering.
Acrobat X is just unusable for me...
...And I have a very basic use of Acrobat, which I only use to scan documents into light compressed pdfs.
If anyone has any idea, I tried digging in acrobat settings, which were default ones, without any luck.
My guess is that the issue comes from OCR + fonts in pdf file.
Will stick to v9 unless I found a solution, I can't expect my clients to install Acrobat X to read/print my pdfs...

I am having this SAME problem... fonts just are looking TERRIBLE in Acrobat 9. Along with a second problem: I export a document from InDesign CS5, and I have it set to automatically open in Acrobat for review. Then the title bar SHOWS it's open, but NOTHING is in the screen. It's just gray, it isn't actually rendered at all. I have to close/launch Acrobat multiple times to get it to view. And it's totally arbitrary when it happens, or to large or small documents.
The funny thing is... it JUST started a few days ago, maybe a week. SUDDENLY. So I'm wondering if it is an update issue or ...? I was going to upgrade to X to see if it would correct it, but reading your reply, I think not.
Adobe, pleae help!

  • Why do images within a PDF look jagged when viewed in Acrobat Pro 10.1.6?

    Using a MacBook Pro running Mac OS version 10.7.5 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB graphics card. High-resolution source images look fine in other software, and embedded images in a PDF look fine when viewed on Google Drive, but curves and diagonal lines look jagged when viewed in Acrobat Pro 10.1.6. Checking smoothing options in Preferences only adjusts the position of the jagged edges; it neither enhances nor ameliorates them.
    I created a sample PDF to illustrate the problem I'm having. Created in illustrator, exported to PNG and converted to PDF. Here is a screenshot of the source PNG side-by-side with the PDF I created from it:
    Please note that when I preview the PDF in Finder, and when I view the PDF in Chrome using Google Drive, the image looks fine. Here's a link to the sample PDF:
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/77f5m6
    Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks!

    Unfortunately, as I mentioned in my original post, I've already tried toggling smoothing options. They don't make the jagged edges go away—they just change them slightly. In some cases, as with the sample file provided, it does help smooth the art out, but it never looks as good as it did going in, in a recent project, toggling smoothing options didn't affect the appearance of the image at all. Zoom does not appear to relieve the artifacting.
    A little clarification: this PDF was created from a flat PNG, but I have had this issue with PNGs and TIFFs as well, generated by both Photoshop and Illustrator. To reiterate, the PDFs display fine in other software—Finder preview looks great, and the same file viewed in my browser via Google Drive looks as intended as well. A colleague was able to replicate this issue in Acrobat on his Windows machine. This appears to be a rendering issue specific to Acrobat with regards to the files I use it to create.

  • Acrobat Pro 10.1 pushes CPU to 100% during scanning.

    Hello all,
    I am deciding if I want to upgrade to Acrobat Pro X.  I have installed the trial version on a test system.  It is Windows 7 Ultimate with 4 GB Ram, 1 CPU.  I let the software update to 10.1 before doing anything.
    System sits between 0 and 12 % Utilization if I do nothing other than work with task manager while Acrobat Pro X is launched.
    I do a scan and it jumps with Acrobat taking over 80% as soon as the scanning starts.
    This is nothing like the behavior of 9 on XP.  I know, different animal.  However, regardless, if the behavior is going to continue to bring my system to a halt like this, I am going to have to evaluate a different package.  With XP ending and Windows 7 being more 'standard', I need to move OS for other reasons.  I don't use over half the 'features'.  I only have pro because that was my original license and I have been updating since 6.
    I know there are other products that should be decent, but am wondering if I should spend the time.  Any thoughts before I do so?
    I appreciate any input you could provide.
    Jim

    I did the final comparison last night.  I reloaded the image which never had the Adobe Acrobat installed.  (Since uninstall is never clean and complete)  I put Acrobat 9 pro on.  This is what I already have license for. 
    It spiked and dropped until rendering.  Still not as good as on XP, but much better behavior than 10.1.  10.1 renders between front and back wasting time.  I have to sit and watch for rendering to finish so that I can turn the pages over or add new pages.  9 renders at the end of scanning.  The way 9 works, is preferred as I can work while the scanner is going, then walk away until rendering is done.
    Unless anyone has any other ideas, I will stay with 9 for now.  Anything else to try?

  • Adobe acrobat pro 9 keeps telling me "the serial number I entered is not valid"

    I recently had my macbook pro logic board fail and had to purchase a new macbook pro (expensive reinvestment after only 3 years but that's another story).
    Anyway, all of my cs4 upsell products loaded just fine, except adobe acrobat pro 9 keeps telling me "the serial number I entered is not valid." After contacting adobe thru chat several times, here is the info I got back: my serial number IS valid, I still can activate 3 more times (deactivation was not an issue in this case), the final answer was  the cs1 server (my previous version before cs4) is no longer available which basically renders my version of acrobat unusable. Is that really the case? Now that I have a new computer I can't use that software any longer it was working fine on my old laptop? Why did all the other software load okay? Did I miss something or is buying another upgrade neccessary?
    ps: using Macbook Pro with MacOS X.8.5

    Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver are all working just fine. I haven't needed any other apps yet since the reinstall. Install actually worked fine too for Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 but when I try to open anything in it I get the Software Setup Screen and it wants me to enter the serial number for the product, when I do it says the serial number is invalid. I included a screen shot below with the serial number removed so you can see. In chatting with adobe, my rep said it is a valid number (obviously since it worked fine on my other apps), but the server for CS1 is no longer available and since I have an upsell from CS1 they cannot offer me support and to take my question to the forum board, so here I am.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.2.0 error on creating .jpg from .pdf

    Hi there,
    I am encountering this same issue that was cited in the "Saving a PDF file as a JPEG" from 2008.  I have a one-page poster in Word 2010 which I was able to convert into a text renderable pdf, then - in Acrobat Pro - was able to convert this pdf into a jpg with no problems - hundreds of times in the past. The Word file is a composite of several images and text that I wish to save as a .jpg to insert into an event  programme as the front cover.
    Now, on printing to pdf, I am not getting consistent renderable text when I open the file in Acrobat Pro, AND if I attempt to "save as" a jpg I get the following error:
    "Acrobat could not save a page in this document because of the following error:
    The image is too wide to output. Please crop it or reduce resolution and try again. (Page 1)"
    I can only click ignore or cancel. Neither will allow me to create a jpg.
    Has anyone else found this error recently?
    I did download some updates recently to Adobe and Flash, so they could be the problem... but I have no idea what to do to undo them.
    I have tried using a different pdf writer to create the pdf file, but if I go back to Acrobat Pro, I still get the jpg error. I assume the error is to do with teh image rendering end, not the pdf writing itself.
    I note from the discussion string earlier, there has been no fix posted for this. This in itself is rather disappointing for an issue that first arose in 2008.
    I hope someone can help as this is driving me crazy!

    I'm still unable to update Acrobat Professional without doing a complete re-install of the product.
    Has this issue been resolved by Adobe?
    Everytime there is an update to Adobe Acrobat Professional, I have to do a complete re-install before I can apply an update.
    Thanks.

  • Compare Documents tool in Acrobat Pro 9

    I'm assessing the Compare Documents tool in Acrobat Pro 9 for business use, and have some very specific questions about its functionality:
    When I initially load a pair of PDFs to compare, occasionally Acrobat refuses to accept them as anything but "scanned documents" even though they are fully electronic-sourced PDFs created in, usually, Adobe illustrator.  What are the specific criteria that cause Acrobat Pro to force the "scanned documents" type?  Is it related to the presence of only "flattened"/"outlined" text instead of embedded fonts?  Lack of layers?  Some other graphical feature?  How do the comparison parameters/performance change when the loaded docs are designated as scanned rather than one of the other types?
    Second, when I've done a Compare on two nearly identical documents and then call up the "old and difference images" display - is there any way at all to manipulate this display?  Some of my docs are large - potentially full press-sheet size of around 24" x 40", and when the differences between them are tiny (e.g., a change in only a few Braille dots over the entire graphic) the on-screen rendering of the "difference image" side of the display is relatively tiny and practically useless, although it contains exactly the information I need to see.  Can it be grabbed/stretched/magnified/saved/printed/analyzed some other way besides how it is?  It seems to disappear literally at the first mouse-motion or key-touch, which is incredibly frustrating.  Are there any changes or improvements in this feature in version 10.x over version 9.2.0 (which is the latest version my company has approved)?
    Third, also at the post-compare stage, the feature tags a small printer info block in a corner of the document with "This image was replaced" even when I know the info block has not been changed.  Why could this happen?

    Sounds like you want to do this on a server, but you should know that Adobe Acrobat cannot legally be used on a server.
    For server-based PDF operations you can look at Adobe LiveCycle products or our Adobe PDFLibrary (available in both Java and C++)

  • Document Language not exported into PDF when viewed in Acrobat Pro 9?

    I've been working on making our PDFs accessible, but it looks like the LiveCycle-generated forms are causing some issues. While I can set the Form Locale in LiveCycle ES (8.2.1), generating a PDF from this and viewing it in Acrobat Pro 9 leaves the Reading Language field greyed out. I'm new to LiveCycle, so it might be something simple (but I've tried Googling everything).
    I've tried saving it as both a Static PDF and Dynamic XML PDF form without luck. The Generate Accessibility Information Save Option is checked. I am doing a Save As rather than in-app generation (I understand this can be the cause of some issues).
    Help!?

  • How to change PDF document dimensions - Acrobat Pro 9

    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure out how to change the dimensions of my PDF in Acrobat Pro.
    The original artwork was created in Illustrator and the final document is primarily for screen use (not print) so was created using pixels (600x665px to be precise). However when the artwork is created into a PDF, when viewed (and printed) in Acrobat, it is rather large and I want to make this smaller.
    If anyone can advise on this it'd be much appreciated!
    thanks
    HS

    You might play with the Touchup Object tool off the Advanced Editing toolbar.
    Use the tool to select the image. Any of the four corners can be "grabbed" and a mouse drag will let you change the space occupied, on the PDF page, by the image. Not a "fine control" but, sometimes, all that's needed.
    Or, in Preferences > Touchup category - the associated configuration pane permits selection of an installed image editor.
    Now, using the Touchup Object tool's context menu, you can use the "Edit Image..." selection.
    Edit the image and return it to the PDF.
    Be well...

  • How can I insert an image at the original resolution into a PDF using Acrobat Pro XI

    Got an image created in Photoshop at 300DPI 2480 pixels wide by xx high.  Saved as a TIFF.
    When I insert that image in my PDF (A4 210mm x 297mm) using Acrobat Pro XI via "Content Editing->Add Image" it appears smaller than the page width of the PDF, and I must manually resize the inserted image by dragging with my mouse.  
    Documentation says the image is inserted at the original image resolution, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
    Also tried creating another image in Photoshop using 210mm width @ 300 DPI (instead of 2480 pixels @ 300DPI), got the same results.
    Can anyone help?  Cheers.

    You should maybe take a step back. Nobody composes pages in Acrobat.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 Document Properties glitch

    Hi,
    When trying to view the document properties in Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 I get the below screenshot. The box is tiny and so small nothing can be viewed. I have to press ESC to close the window. I can only use ALT+SPACE to move  it also.
    PC config:
    Generic Dell Crap Vostro 200.
    Windows XP SP3
    CS4 DP - only Acrobat, Distiller, Bridge, Illustrator and Photoshop, no InDesign.
    CS5.5 DS - Everything but Acrobat X as it isn't compatible with our plugins and add-ons.
    All Adobe software is updated, as is the windows OS. AV is AVG Business.

    Yes, I've tried multiple repairs.
    Here is my sysinfo file if it helps. I noticved that some of the plugins were doubled up in their own folder and the plugin fodler, so I removed the apis from the plugin folder...

  • Can I get the summary of added and deleted words in two compared documents in Acrobat Pro XI as it was in Pro 6?

    I want to be able to estimate the amount of words that change from one document to another. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to compare two documents. The summary says "Differences exist between documents" and lists the amount of pages in each one. Then it goes on to the report and highlights insertions and deletions.
    I would like a more informative summary. Previously, in Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0 (I don't really know after that), the summary I got after comparing two documents contained how many words had been added and how many words had been deleted.
    I have checked the configuration of the new Acrobat but I have not been able to find the same functionality. Is there something I am missing? Is this feature not supported anymore?
    If so, is there a workaround? I have been looking into using JavaScript but I cannot access properties of words that the program highlights as having changed. Thank you very much for any insight you may have.

    OCR is only for recoginition of the image / picture of text provided by an scanner.
    Content typed into a Word file which is converted to a PDF is (in Word and in PDF) *not* an image  or picture of text - it is the digital text. So, no OCR involved.
    When the "digital" (renderable) text of a PDF's page content is exported to Word no OCR is involved.
    When a PDF's content is from the image output of a scanner and this is a picture of text then OCR comes into play.
    If this content is exported to Word before doing OCR then it is the image that is exported to the Word file.
    Once OCR is performed it is the OCR output that is exported.
    OCR output is (always will be) impacted by "the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents". 
    Regardless "Compare" is based on a Word file output to PDF1 then edits to the Word file followed by an output to PDF2. You use Acrobat Pro to do a compare of PDF1 & PDF2.
    Paper 1 scanned to image 1 to image 1 in PDF1 that gets OCR 1 and
    Paper 2 scanned to image 2 to image 2 in PDF2 that gets OCR 2
    being processed with Acrobat Pro's Compare can certainly be done.
    But - well you've described what can be observed.
    Be well...

  • Shared Review Deadline Dates do not Update - Acrobat Pro. 9

    I recently started two shared reviews in Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 When I attempt to extend the deadline dates on both it updates me in the tracker, but when anyone else in the reveiw attempts to add more comments they are told the review has expried.
    I am the initiator of the reviews, and acording to Adobe I should be able to change the deadline date in the tracker and have it update the other reviewers so they can contine with their reviews. It does extend my deadline, but not anyone elses.
    Does this function not work, should I set all shared reviews with "No Deadline"?
    I am running Windows XP Pro, with 3 gig of memory, on an IBM Think Center.
    The file is on a network shared folder where everyone who is reviewing has read/write rights.

  • Acrobat pro vs preview

    Hi,
    I work with Acrobat X Pro. Documents opened in Acrobat are viewed on screen in poor quality. Viewed in Preview they have excellent quality.
    Pdf's generated with Logic Pro X have -on screen- grey shadows.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
    thanks

    I always used Acrobat Pro before updating to Maverick and to Logic X.
    When I make scores in Logic, I export to pdf, and import it in InDesign to do more lay-out-work.
    I worked perfect for years....
    Bus now I have the problems as written above...: bad quality on screen, and later on also on print.
    Strange is this:
    a pdf in Preview looks fine
    in Acrobat poor quality
    printed: okay
    when imported in InDesign and exported as pdf again: strange shadows as well in Preview as in Acrobat
    and poor quality when printed
    something in rendering goes wrong???
    I really hope to resolve this.
    I asked the question on the Acrobat Pro forum, but no reply yet....

  • My PDFs using the new Acrobat Pro DC are blurry and hard to read.

    The Acrobat Pro DC shows my PDFs in a strange way and they are very blurry even if I zoom to 100%.  It's like it's very pixelated or something like that.  Is there a setting I change or anything like that?

    I can't help with the size but you can keep them from disappearing by checking the option in System Preferences > General > Show Scroll bars:  Always.

  • When I OCR two versions of the same document and then compare th documents in Acrobat Pro XI, I usually get the message that there are no changes to mark.  However, I know there a quite a few number of changes.  I raised this question more than a year ago

    When I OCR two versions of the same document and then compare the documents in Acrobat Pro XI, I usually get the message that there are no changes to mark.  However, I know there a quite a few number of changes.  I raised this question more than a year ago, and the response I received had to do with the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents.  However, if I use Acrobat Pro XI to save the same documents in Word and then run a comparison in Word all of the changes are marked.  When a PDF is saved as a Word document in Acrobat Pro XI, is a different OCR module being used than the one used in Acrobat Pro XI for text recognition?

    OCR is only for recoginition of the image / picture of text provided by an scanner.
    Content typed into a Word file which is converted to a PDF is (in Word and in PDF) *not* an image  or picture of text - it is the digital text. So, no OCR involved.
    When the "digital" (renderable) text of a PDF's page content is exported to Word no OCR is involved.
    When a PDF's content is from the image output of a scanner and this is a picture of text then OCR comes into play.
    If this content is exported to Word before doing OCR then it is the image that is exported to the Word file.
    Once OCR is performed it is the OCR output that is exported.
    OCR output is (always will be) impacted by "the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents". 
    Regardless "Compare" is based on a Word file output to PDF1 then edits to the Word file followed by an output to PDF2. You use Acrobat Pro to do a compare of PDF1 & PDF2.
    Paper 1 scanned to image 1 to image 1 in PDF1 that gets OCR 1 and
    Paper 2 scanned to image 2 to image 2 in PDF2 that gets OCR 2
    being processed with Acrobat Pro's Compare can certainly be done.
    But - well you've described what can be observed.
    Be well...
