Acrobat Reader 9 does not display Type 3 fonts correctly

Acrobat Reader 9 does not display Type 3 fonts correctly for quite a few of our older, PDF version 1.2 PDF files in our products, where normal Acrobat or Digital Editions show no such problem. It only shows the bottom part of the glyphs but then shifted to the top of the glyph area.
Files available for test/reference upon request.

Hmm, this cannot be, as this is legacy material from 1997. There is no way that this can be changed using Type 1 or OTF fonts other than retypesetting everything from scratch, I fear, and that will be just too much expensive work. Interestingly, Acrobat Reader 8 and the latest Adobe Digital Editions display these PDFs correctly, so I have no alternative other than assume that the changes in the font rendering mechanism in Reader 9 are responsible for this. I am checking these files with Acrobat 9 Professional shortly...

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help, Bruce

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help, Bruce

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Firefox does not display MobileMe pages correctly. Is this something you are working on fixing?

Mac OS 10.5.8 Mac Book Pro,
Side bar in mail scroll bars are missing and bar will not expand fully. Clicking on an email does not display it on the same page, it requires double clicking and opens in a new page.
Side bar in Gallery also not expanding. Other problems with diplay in Contacts, Calender, etc.

Did you use the same [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] for the test with 3.6.x and 4.0 ?
Looks like a problem with JavaScript (Ajax).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If you the Firefox 4 beta version with the same profile then you should create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Firefox does not display page information correctly

On the form on http://ppbm5.com/submission.html select a raid level of Raid 0 for the OS disk and select the Number of OS disk next. The only choices you see are 3, 4, 5 and 6. The same applies to the project disk question and the output disk question.
Using Chrome or Internet Explorer the number of disks shown to choose from are 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Firefox hides or forgets the option for 2 disks.
The form used shows up correctly in the Form Maker site, it shows up correctly in Dreamweaver, it shows up correctly in both Chrome and Internet Explorer.
My only conclusion is that this is a Firefox issue. What can be done to resolve this?
As it currently is, one can only tell visitors to only use the form with Chrome or IE.
PS. I tried with FF 4.0 beta 10 and the problem persists.
BUT, the strange thing is on two other machines, with FF 3.6.13 the problem does not occur, so something must have messed up my regular system to prevent the correct display of the page.
I tried disabling add-ons, extensions and plug-ins, but that did not help.

IE 11 on Windows 7 x64 does not display FeedBurner feeds correctly

Dear All,
I have just installed Internet Explorer 11 on my Windows 7 x64 system. It all went smoothly except for certain feeds not displaying correctly. After a bit of investigation it seems FeedBurner feeds are the ones which do not work.
Any of the FeedBurner feeds I was subscribed to previously display a webpage instead of the standard feed view, and cannot be marked as read. Also, if I try to subscribe to a new FeedBurner feed, there is no "Subscribe to this feed" link to click
on, only the same webpage.
I have also noticed that the only Medium.com feed I am subscribed to only displays the XML code of the feed, not the standard feed view. There is only one of those, so I cannot say if it is general or not; but the FeedBurner issue is general though.
Is this a general occurrence? If so, when can we expect a solution?
Thank you for your help.
FD

Dear Rob,
These forums appear as one of the available avenues for "Ask the community" in the Help > Online support menu. Besides, there are already tickets in the Microsoft Community for Home Users and Consumers about this, but no valid answers:

I tried the Compatibility View settings, but they do not help at all.
For example, if you try

Firefox does not display Mapquest maps correctly

Mapquest maps display with a vertical bar that is roughly 25% of the width of the map screen that shows as loading (gray color that never loads) or a different part of the map overlayed on this 25%. The location of the 25% is at different locations (vertically) and moves randomly left to right or whenever the zoom is changed. This also occurs when the street map is presented or the aerial map is displayed.
This does not occur when the same map is displayed in Internet Explorer 8.0.

Cleared the cache and cookies several times and nada.
Started Firefox in Safe Mode (Quit Firefox, hold down the Option key, Start Firefox). Clicked all the boxes and then clicked "Make Changes and Restart." Fixed the problem. Then repeated process until I successfully had unclicked all the boxes (one at a time) and clicked "Make Changes and Restart." Somehow it stayed fixed. I enabled my extensions and plugins one at a time to find the culprit and didn't find one. But at least it works.

BPC NW 7.5Sp05 - Client on Windows 7 does not display Action Pane correctly

We have BPC NW 7.5 SP05 installed and running successfully however have an issue with the Client software displaying the Action Pane correctly on our client machines.
Client machines are Windows 7 64 bit. Screen display size is 1920 x 1080
After logging on to the Client, the Action Pane is cut off to the left hand side of the pane. i.e.. Text is not displayed in full e.g.. "le Interfaces" can be seen as opposed to "Available Interfaces". We can minimize this action pane and the section allocated to action pane seem to expand to a wider width however when we maximize the "action pane" again, the section returns to the smaller size.
I have tested the Client software on the server (ie. Windows 2003) and the client screen appears as it should, with all details being displayed in the action pane.
Has anyone come across this issue or similar with Windows 7?

Hi,
This might be the original solution.
The resolution of the screen controls how the windows are displayed and BPC is no exception. Having said this, it will be great if we can experiment the same thing with few more machines with same setting.
Alternately, you can definitely create a ticket with SAP.
Hope this helps.

Acrobat Reader does not recognise my printer

Hello,
When I attempt to print a pdf document from adobe reader, my printer is not listed in the dropdown list of available printers. I am therefore unable to print anything. This issue only occurs with acrobat reader, all other windows applications recognise the printer and print fine. The printer is connected via wifi.
I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer and the drivers, as well as acrobat reader. I have restarted my computer. The issue still persists.
My system information is as follows:
Windows 8 64 bit pc
Epson WF-7515 with the latest drivers
Acrobat reader version 11.0.0
Any solutions are much appreciated
Regards

I have the same problem. My Brother HL-1430 over USB connected to my Airport Express works perfectly. But via Time Capsule no way. I did all the deletion, re-install etc., but no success. I think the Time Capsule has still some problems to solve. What I did now:
I have connected my Airport Express via Ethernet (bridge mode) to my Time Capsule. I have my stereo and USB printer connected to Airport Express. My TC connects to the Internet. In addition I have an additional USB HD connected to TC for TC archiving and file sharing.
My MacBook connects to TC only. Now all works fine. I can use everything together at the same time (Internet, printing, music streaming, TimeMachine) without even having dropping bits when streaming sound in parallel.
Here I must say, that I would have long expected Apple to finally include Air Tunes into its base stations and TC. It's a bit of a joke that you still need to buy an additional Airport Express just to stream your music. Here marketing and product positioning at Apple goes too far and harms the concept of an easy and integrated solution.

Firefox 6 does not display some websites correctly that is fonts and immage overlay one another.

Firefox 6 as with previous versions have a tendency to overlay fonts and images. This makes it difficult to read some pages. I sometime use Google and have problems with overlay. I prefer to use Firefox for its open source programming. Perhaps you can look into this and let me know details. If you would like I can send you a couple of websites so you can observe the problem.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues like you described.
* Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
*NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/

IPhoto does not display png thumbnails correctly

I would love to use iPhoto to organize my scrapbooking graphics. Unfortunately, a great many are in png format with transparency. When imported, the transparent portions of the images are displayed in black. Many files are word art, which is generally rasterized text on a transparent background. The files will show at full size and will open correctly. That doesn't help if I want to look at a thumbnail gallery to scan for a particular file. (BTW, word art files need to have transparent backgrounds so converting to jpg doesn't help.)
This was an issue in 2006 with iPhoto 5 (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2755904&#2755904). I was hoping for a fix but apparently iPhoto is not destined to handle png thumbnails correctly.

That's normal for transparency files, png or gif, and iPhoto. It renders the transparency black. It's the nature of the beast. You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. Some other applications have options to set the transparency color to the user's needs.

Website upload not displaying type spaces correctly

When I upload my site with new changes (adding spaces between words or letters) to my masthead, border, footer combination, it shows up fine on IE and Safari but not in FireFox (3.6.13).
The spaces between the letters of the masthead type are somewhat enlarged and the spaces between the footer words are somewhat decreased, the only thing that displays properly is the border line that separates the masthead type from the footer type.
As it is not an issue with the other browsers, am I right in assuming it is not a problem with either my web developer program (Shutterbug from xtralean) or the web server?

Thank You for the reply and suggestions.
I did try the reload as you suggested to no avail. I looked into the other links as well, but am not sure that is the problem, as (unless I am wrong) the issue seems to be with the way Firefox is interpreting the data as different (slightly) from the way IE or Safari which interpret it more accurately.
Also, I had a friend load the site on her Safari and Firefox and she too saw the same issue.
On comparing my web pages on Safari and Firefox with her, we noticed that there are space discrepancies on all of the pages regarding the type. What is odd is that in some instances, if one measures a line of type, it is stretched a little and in others it is shrunken a little; nothing seems to line up accurately as in my original program format. The discrepancy on say a line of Times 13 type is around an eight of an inch or so. The photos on the site are accurate.
I am rather new at all this and am not sure if this is simply "the way it is" and should let it go and accept the browser discrepancy?

Firefox does not display specified font (Helvetica)

I updated Firefox to version 10 this evening, only to find that the font Helvetica no longer seems to display where it should on 90% of web sites. It displays as Arial instead.
It displays fine on other browsers, and even on limited sites in Firefox, however even setting up a test page with just one line of text and the font set to Helvetica via CSS, the font continues to display as Arial.
I've tried the following:
- Changing Helvetica to other fonts; they display correctly
- Tried Helvetica in different sizes; large or small, it doesn't work
Any ideas? Whilst this is a minor issue, as a web designer it's very annoying!
Thanks. :)

Do you have a true type or open type version of the Helvetica font installed?
You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

My Apple TV Does not display vertical photos correctly

I have an older Apple TV (the non streaming type). I have 3 cameras I use on a regular basis. I have taken vertical shots with all 3 cameras. I have corrected the orientation on my PC and then synced the photos and not all of them stay rotated correctly. The only way I have been able to solve this is with bringing all the vertical shots into Photoshop, changing the orientation and saving them then re-syncing them to the Apple TV. I have read that some camera model of camera preserve the meta data associated with an image unless they are edited by true photo editing software like Photoshop which can truly modify the meta data. Has anyone found a simpler solution?
Message was edited by: DJF Photographer

Ugh okay here's the answer - there is a "location" setting that Apple TV uses to determine what apps are available. Not sure why I have to tell it my location, but there it is.

Ipod does not display all songs correctly

Some of the songs on my ipod and displayed correctly and work fine while some others do not. For example, when I search for music under the artist section of my ipod it might say an artist has only one song when in reality their are ten songs by that artist on the pod. The only way to acess the other nine songs on the ipod is to go to music then select them through SONG. Everything is updated, and i even rebooted my ipod and reinstalled all the files. This is the second ipod i have had trouble with and this one is brand new. ***
