Acrobat retina display?

Hi there,
I'm using the Adobe CC versions of InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat on my brand new MacBook Pro with retina display. Everything looks fine except for Acrobat, where it's all horribly pixellated. Is there anything I can download to fix this? It's driving me nuts not being able to view my PDFs properly!
Thanks,
Lydia

If it hasn't happened by now, it's likely it will appear in Acrobat Pro Next (that is, the next version of Acrobat, which as not been announced.
Now, it not only affects Macintoshes with Retina display but also PCs with HiDPI (the PC equivalent of high-resolution displays).

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.

Where can I find a patch for Indesign and Acrobat cs6 for mac retina display?

I have found the patch for screen resolution for photoshop, but the illustrator patch says it is not compatible and I cannot locate one for in-design (my primary program) or Acrobat. There must be a patch, right? Or else whats the point of it?

The patch is upgrading to InDesign CC, which requires an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. Sorry.
There is no Acrobat CS6. The last version is Acrobat XI which was created too late to include support for Retina Display. It will probably be in the next version of Acrobat.
Creating "patches" for Retina Display are much more engineering intensive than you would expect. In the case of InDesign, it had to be completed in the context of moving to becoming a 64 bit application and moving application development from Carbon to Cocoa (a required move on the Mac accomplished finally in InDesign CC).

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.

Hello, I have MacBook Pro with Retina display. How can I get retina support to my Adobe Acrobat pro? It is version 10.1.13 and it says it is up to date.

Hello, I have MacBook Pro with Retina display. How can I get retina support to my Adobe Acrobat pro? It is version 10.1.13 and it says it is up to date.

Problem is that my pdf files look terrible although I have MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014). I have Adobe Creative Suite Design Standard version 6.0 (Mac). I have installed every possible update. I think problem is that for some reason my CS doesn´t support retina display? If I view a pdf file in iMessage, it looks fantastic. But if I open the same document in Adode Acrobat Pro, it looks awful. What can I do?
Thank you so much for your help.

Acrobat XIPro Blurry with retina Display MBP

I have the new 15" MBP with retina display and my PDF documents, when opened in Acrobat XIPro, look extremely blurry even when the majority of the file is vector based graphics. In fact, the entire Acrobat interface is extremely blurry. The file looks crisp and clear when displayed using Apple's Display Software. Is there a fix? Is Adobe behind on an update to this problem? I've already messed around with the preferences to no avail. Thanks for your help...

Hi,
The experience described above mentionning crystal clear UI but some blurry text in the PDF is consistent:
With Acrobat and Reader 11.0.1 we have improved the user interface so that it supports retina display. If the UI looks sluggish, it means you have 11 or an earlier version then please upgrade to 11.0.1. It should fix it.
However the rendering of the PDF itself is more of a long run and will be available with a future release (likely 11.0.4).
That being said I'd appreciate your help regarding the different issues you seem to experience:
Placing Reader and another Retina ready application (let's pick Preview) side by side, it doesn't jump to my eyes that the rendering is 'sluggish'. There is a significant difference indeed, but if settings are correct the pixel size in Acrobat/Reader should be the same than it is on a non-retina display which is acceptable - that's how Mac OS supports non retina applications and it works pretty well for most people.
If it looks worst than that, it's very likely that some settings for display/resolution in Mac OS have been changed to use larger fonts, then the pixel ratio (which is 2 by default for a non retina app rendering on a retina display) can be pushed to 3, 4 or even more, and it then looks really bad.
Can you share your display settings?
I have a picture of head anatomy that looks pretty sharp and renders beautifully fast, and a 28MB 3D PDF of a head anatomy that barely displays at 3 frames per second. The 3D looks very sharp on my retina display. What kind of PDF is the head anatomy you refer to? Can you share your file with me? Maybe I'm missing something and any help would be useful!
G. Miles seems to mention some performance issues? 11.0.1 runs smoothly on my two Mac laptops - one is a 4 year old Mac Book Pro, the other one is a 15' Retina. I'd be curious to know what files you are viewing, in which resolution, and anything that can be of value for us to investigate and improve your experience. Can you share a file with us?
Finally, as for the delay responding to Retina support (and I apologize for taking several weeks to answer this thread) it's a different story to perfectly render PDF including all the entities and rendering modes it supports. In order to ship Acrobat or Reader with an official support for Retina display, this includes everything PDF supports, unlike other applications mentionned above which usually support PDF 1.4 best case (the current standard is 1.7). This includes multimedia, 3D, forms, etc.
Thanks,
Luc

Low resolution on retina display

It seems that adobe muse opens in low resolution on retina display. I used to have the same problem with adobe acrobat, but in that case i solved the problem by following the procedure in: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1298242. That procedure, however, doesn't work with muse. Can somebody help me?

Hi,
Is there a fix for this?
The UI is tiny on my Dell XPS 15 (retina display).
Is there no option such as in photoshop for 'experimental features' to enlarge the UI by 200%?
Currently it's unusable on a retina display.
Thanks.

Indesign CS6 looks unsharp, crappy and ugly on retina display

Indesgin CS6 is the only application in CS6 Design suite that doesn't support HiDpi (RETINA) displays correctly.
For Acorbat X I had to purchase Acrobat XI to get a Adobe premium (and expensive) product on par with the free PDF Reader or OSX Preview display qualities.
For Indesgin CS6 I don't see such an option, since the CC subscription is no option for me (I don't need Indesign on a regular basis and refuse to pay a monthly fee if I need it for a few days... therefore I am much better off with the purchase model... especially for corporate tax laws in Germany).
I hereby request an update for Indesign CS6 to support Retina. If this is not possible, I have to look for other options in my future purchases.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for replying.
No I did not come just to rant. I came for a solution on how unexpectedly ugly (and here andthere unreadable, as in images) ID CS6 looked on my retina MBP.
And no, I do not feel better. I feel screwed. I have invested a large amount of time and effort in getting the book done in ID (I even thanked Peter Spier in my first edition for his help on this forum to solve a few serious issues I had).
And now I find out that if I want to continue with ID, I need to upgrade to a construct where I need to perpetually pay a fee or lose access to my own work. I feel Adobe is trying to get me ultimately locked in, and I do not like it. I like ID. I like how I could create a nice (some say beautiful) book. I hate having to say goodbye, but a perpetual lock in of this kind is a too high a price to pay.
And yes, as it is now, I can take a one-month subscription to get access. But I have to pay that every time this occurs (think of small editorial changes that happen once in a while). And no guarantuees that this kind of short time or affordable pricing stays. Yes, it can all turn out well. But I am completely at the mercy of Adobe and that gives a pretty unfree feel to it all. It is a type of blackmail: pay or you won't have access to your own stuff anymore.
This is not like my TV subscription (I can change provider without a hassle). This is like using a camera to record my family movies only to find out that the camera was cheap because I have to keep paying every time I want to access my own work for a future price that is uncertain. I will do it if I have to (if there is no reasonable alternative). And if I cannot find a reasonable alternative, that suggests from my perspective that Adobe is wielding monopoly power here. And I do not like that either.
For many the price may be reasonable and I can understand many of the advantages. But the fact that I become completely dependent on whatever Adobe decides in the future is for me an unacceptable risk. Many people ignore risks. If this risk does not turn into reality they will be vindicated. If it does, they are screwed too.
It would be OK if the subscription price was for regular updates and the version you have just keeps working. And if you do not subscribe, you need to pay the full amount if you need to update. But now it is, pay or be locked out.
BTW, subscribing to just ID costs >$30/month over here.

Adobe Reader Update for MacBook Pro with Retina Display

I recently purchased the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display and noticed when I downloaded Adobe Reader that it had not yet been updated to support the new Retina Display. If I remember correctly, it was announced that Adobe Photshop has been updated to support the new display. Will there also be an update for Reader any time soon?

Hi,
Reader and Acrobat XI will support Retina display for both the user interface and document rendering with the September update.
For now, the UI is Retina capable but the document content is still rendered at a lower resolution.
Few more weeks to go
Best,
Luc

Captivate and Macbook Pro Retina display support. When?

Hi there. Having just purchased a new MBP with retina display I was disappointed to find that Captivate 7 appeared not to support the display settings. It looks blocky and ill-defined compared to all the other programs, Powerpoint included. My web-search suggests that Captivate doesn't support the Retina display. Is this the case, and if so, when will Adobe support it?
Thanks in advance.
Nick

Hi Rossco,
You're right, the program works and the content produced is unaffected. My rationale to get the program work environment to be Retina compatible includes;
Visual clarity. For reading glasses wearers such as myself, the blockyness can be frustrating. But regardless of middle aged disability, it just looks better when a program is Retina compatible.
It's a major component of my work environment, so making the most of the computer's assets is important to me.
It (OK, this is the emotional statement Rossco ;-)) frustrates me that an Educational program fails to take advantage of a computer type very commonly used in Ed departments. And Retina is not new, nor a passing fad.
Adobe do commit to Retina compatibility, evidenced by Acrobat updated recently. Captivate please!!??
Best regards
Nick

Adobe CS5 and Macbook Pro Retina Display

I recently bought a new Macbook Pro Retina Display notebook. Before I got it, I didn't realize what an effect it would have on my existing programs, and had I known, I would have thought twice before switching. I have never had so many problems with a brand new computer. It seems absurd to me that Apple would introduce a product that was not supported by so many important software platforms, Adobe Creative Suite and Acrobat Pro included.
I have Adobe CS5 and was not planning on upgrading to CS6. It is too expensive and I am a poor PhD student with lots of work to finish. Now when I use my CS5 applications, I see the images in very poor quality. The program will not let me change the "Open in Low Resolution" settings as the button is disabled. I do not know how to make it look better or what to do. I cannot work using this low resolution. It hurts my eyes and I cannot see the lines properly to be able to adjust my drawings.
What can I do?

Pixelated MacBook Pro Retina Display!

I just purchased a MacBook pro retina display 15" 2.3ghz 2 weeks ago and i thought everything was going to be as clear as ever, but it turns out that more stuff are pixelated than before!!!! For example icons and text on websites, download managers and even the programes i work on such as (Adobe photshop, illustrator, indesign) you can see the tool's pixels.! Is this the way it should be or is there something wrong going on?!

Hello Donald,
Macbook Pro, retina display, 15".
2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with 6MB shared L3 cache.
8GB of 1600MHz DDR3L onboard memory.
256GB storage.
Intel Iris Pro Graphics.
OS X MAVERICK.
$1999 / 2.049eur.
Adobe Photoshop, inDesign and Illustrator CS5. Never gave me problems... Pixelated.
Probably the cloud edition CS6 is performed to retina display? Well, I cannot afford the cloud edition now...
Adobe Acrobat Pro think it's 10. Pixelated.
Portrait Professional 11. Pixelated.
Lightroom 5 is ok with retina display.
And some other programs I'll might use, but not now, for 3D editing and video. I'm afraid of not getting the HiDPI quality in several programs, while I can't wait 6 months or 1 year to developers "work on it"... My job is now, no later...
Thank you

Retina display and CC

I am hoping someone can confirm that Apple's new (ish) Retina Display MacBook Pro's will work fine with Creative Cloud apps, particularly InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, probably Acrobat too. I tried CS 6 apps in the Apple store on a Retina Display and it was like going back to pre ATM days. Also, if it does work what other 'side effects' are there? Eg are the images/text so small that you need to zoom in/out all the time. I noticed in the Apple store that most CS6 apps took a while to launch!
I intend to get a new Mac but am nervous about this Retina Display thing and wonder if I should go with an iMac. Just to confirm, I have Adobe CC but am just referring to CS6 as a reference. Many thanks.

I am Windows, but I do have a saved link that may give you more information

InDesign CS6 looks fuzzy with retina display

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with retina display and installed my CS6 software. Photoshop and Illustrator look fine, but InDesign looks pixelated. The menus and fonts look fuzzy. I can't work like this. I read there is a possibility to uncheck the "open in low resolution" box but haven't been able to actually uncheck it. Can someone help with this?

Unfortunately, you have to subscribe to CC to get retina InDesign & Acrobat.
