Acrobat XI garbled text when optimising or reducing

Text unreadable as file size is reduced for client
Original sized file OK when going to P4P

Editing PDFs is a desperate last resort, not a normal workflow so Adobe don't expect you to do much.
You could at least compose text outside Acrobat and copy/paste it in batches.

  • Garbled text when copy-pasted from a pdf document in Preview

    I have this PDF document which I created in NeoOffice. When I copy some text from it, then paste it somewhere (or just go to Finder>Edit>Show Clipboard) I see garbled text. Or, if I go into the search field within Preview and type a word which I know exists in the PDF, it doesn't find it. But if I copy-paste it from the PDF document window into the search field, the copied term appears garbled in the search field itself, but I do get search results.
    This happens only with this particular document, which I myself produced. No password/encryption or anything weird; just a straightforward print job from within NeoOffice.
    Any clues? Many thanks.

    happens to me all the time in preview, copying something that I need to paste, like a URL. Quitting and relaunching usually solves it, but now that won't work on the text I am copying today.

  • Garbled text when creating hyperlinks

    I have a user who is creating hyperlinks in the Table of Contents of a 500 page PDF to pages within the PDF. After 10-15 hyperlinks, she gets strange characters and garbled text on some of the pages. If she saves and closes the document and reopens, she can go back to working but it will reoccur soon again. She is using Acrobat 9 Professional on Windows 7 Enterprise. She has the latest updates for Acrobat. Any thoughts?
    thanks

    Most of the document was converted from Microsoft Excel 2007 documents. The Table of Contents was converted from Microsoft Word 2007 document.

    Is anyone else having a problem when sending emails and some of the words looking like this, H=w are y=u?
    I've wiped and re enter my email account and text is still garbled. Also the Add to Home Screen does not work after security wiped.

  • Garbled text when loading web page. Screenshot included.

    Can anyone explain why Safari constantly does this?
    MacBook 2Ghz Black   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2 GB RAM

    Evidently Safari isn't smart enough to handle the firewall at work so I'll just stick with Camino. Or I might try OmniWeb if it isn't the actual rendering engine that is having a hard time with the firewall.

  • Garbled Text

    Why am I recently getting garbled text when I try to download pdf's on my mac?

    Unfortunately, I am not very computer savvy. Here is the situation. When I try to click on my bank statements they only show as garbled text from left to right & from top to bottom of the page. I have had my Mac since last December and this is the first time I've had a problem. This also happens with other sites too. I really need to figure this out. Thanks.

  • Strange garbled text all over OSX... ***?

    Hey all-
    I'm hoping someone has seen this before. My mother has been having a problem with her new Mac Mini. She knows next to nothing about computers, but said she saw "strange white lines" and "garbled text" when she was trying to update her iTunes. I managed to talk her through taking a screenshot with Grab, and emailing it to me. Here's a link to the screenshot:

    http://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=garbledsh4.png
    Notice the Grab icon and the word "Capture" in particular. It's my guess that this has something to do with RAM or somesuch thing. But.. I wanted to check with y'all in case it might be something more serious. I had her restart and she didn't report any more of the garble phenomenon, but this shouldn't be happening in the first place.
    Thanks in advance for any knowledge.

    Run the hardware test that came with your machine. The instructions for running it are nearly identical to the Powerbook G4 in this article:

    The only difference is you'll use the restore discs that came with the PowerMac G5.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9/Win7 - Inserting Word documents into PDF file intermittently leads to missing or garbled text?

    Heya.
    I have a user who is creating a PDF essentially compiled from inserting word documents into the position she wants inside of the PDF.
    The problem is that sometimes this leads to missing or garbled text. For example, 6-8.1 is displayed as 6- .1. Which is just plain weird.
    Other times, the text looks garbled or uneven. She turned off her PC but I took screenshots of both of these scenarios. I fear that I am not going to be able to retroactively fix the corruption in this document for her.
    She says she's using very standard fonts. Like Arial. I asked if she could locate the original Word document that produced the garbled text, just for a sanity check. The problem is that her co-worker may have been the only one with that particular word document (there are probably hundreds which compile this PDF...) and IF she has it, she might not be able to locate it on her PC TO check what the original text is. Yikes.
    Google-fu turns up very little. I tried the guidance in this document - https://answers.acrobatusers.com/We-combine-PDF-document-ends-corrupt-What-problem-q197619 .aspx[2] and a Save-As but no avail.
    This also turns up but is not applicable to Acrobat 9 I believe:  http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobatineducation/2010/02/get_rid_of_that_bloat_in_your.html[3]
    She states that she can manually fix the document but after a while it gets corrupted again? But I haven't observed that and she might have just fed me that to amplify the problem.
    I will be able to post screenshots when she turns on her computer tomorrow.

    Here are the two instances of corruption we have come across.

    http://imgur.com/wHM12e2
    Edit:  A LITTLE MORE INFO.  I am able to select the corrupted text, paste it into Notepad with all the characters intact.  So the characters are THERE.  they are just not being displayed correctly.
    Edit:  They also do not print correctly.  The page prints with characters missing, and she wants to print this document, so that is going to be an issue.

  • Garbled text printing from Acrobat pro 11.0.09

    I tried printing a PDF invoice from one of my suppliers yesterday and though they have printed fine in the past, suddenly all the text that is set in Arial Narrow is printing as random and squashed symbols and characters. I've checked and I have Arial Narrow active under Suitcase Fusion 5,  but it is listed as embedded anyway in the document so that shouldn't be an issue. It prints fine if I open in Preview and of course if I select print as image in the print dialogue. I'm using an Epson AL C2800. Anyone any thoughts on what might be causing this? It will be a pain to have to select print as image every time I get a document from these people?

    Hi Dov and thanks for your speedy reply. I've tried downloading the latest driver for the AL C2800 which reports on Epson's site as 7.10. However after installing The printer utility still reports v 17.04 and printing still has garbled text.
    Using PCL mode doesn't seem to make any difference either. I assume I'm doing this correctly ny selecting PCL as an portion from the printer menu - or do I have to download a separate driver? I tried sending you a message but I don't know how to send one of the pdf files in question. Then I click on attach an image it rejects a pdf file. So how do i get a copy of the file to you?
    What is so strange is that everything worked fine a couple of weeks ago when I last printed one of these documents. The only conscious change to my system or printer is changing a leaking black printer cartridge a couple of days ago, installing the MS Onedrive app (and then deleting as it seems pretty useless), activating a couple of system fonts to handle foreign language/symbol encoding and updating a couple of minor apps - Fetch and an update to Suitcase Fusion 5 (I tried quitting Suitcase through I know it's not the culprit as the font is embedded - but I still get the garbled text)

  • Reader 8.1.2 :  garbled / scrambled text when printing

    After upgrading to version 8.1.2 from 7.1, our work place noticed that certain PDF documents will print garbled text if the Reader window is closed prior to the document being completely processed in the Print Queue. (Windows XP) These documents are PDF files that use an active script to import information from the user's log-in to fill in various fields (name, birth date, etc...). For example, if you print a document that is 10 pages and you close the Reader window prior to the 10th page being printed, every page printed after the closed window will be printed with garbled/scrambled text. This issue is not present before version 8. Its as if Adobe 8 maintains a link to spool/stream data from the Reader window to the print queue. Has anybody else experienced this or any suggestions for a fix? (other than rolling back to version 7) thnks

    Hi,
    I am having a similar issue with Ver 8.1.2 running over cirtix with a similar setup to Jans-Peter.
    The difference is that Reader opens fine but when you try to edit preferences it crashes.
    This only happens on an citrix session. If I run reader on the server directly it works OK.
    However after reading above I can replicate the problem on the server by moving or deleting the ADMPlugin.apl file.
    Any further ideas at all?

  • Garbled Text on when printing to pdf printer

    Hey folks, I have a user who is getting garbled text in the top right hand corner where it is supposed to display the word "Page" followed by the page number when trying to print to pdf from IE8. The word "page" is garbled (ÆäÀÌÁö 1 / 2    <----- copy/pasted from the document) put the page numbers are fine and so is all the other text in the document.  I've looked around the web for this issue quite a bit and found several references to the "rely on system fonts only" option being enabled but after disabling this feature we're still getting the same issue. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

  • Washed out text when printing from Acrobat Help?

    When I print PDFs from Adobe Acrobat all the text is washed out. It is supposed to be black but I get gray text.
    I have the print settings at rich text black.
    The print settings on Acrobat are 600dpi.
    It is not a printer issue as I get the same problem with 2 different printer that are different makes and models.
    It is a high resolution PDF with no image compression.
    The file prints fine from Indesign.
    I am running Acrobat Professional 8.2.3
    I am running CS 3 master suite
    any help is appreciated.
    thanks

    IF, (and that is a big if) the pdf is create some some type of text (word open office, pages, etc)  then open PDF  in acrobat and click on Touch up text tool
    (a Samll button with a capital "T" on it -without quote marks).
    Click on select all. then  File menu look for Properties. click on properties
    when window opens click on appearance tab.
    choose color by clicking on colored block. choose black.
    IF your document then your out of luck there are no fonts just a drawing of what appears to be fonts. You might use OCR on Document but then not all Characters might ocr so you would only be partially successful.

  • Garbled text after inserting a converted MS Word Doc into PDF

    I am on a PC running XP professional using Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro v.8.
    I successfully converted a variety of MS Office (Word, Excel,PowerPoint) documents into Acrobat Pro v8 PDF files. I then took all of these individually converted PDF files and merged into one large PDF file.
    As stated, I verified that the documents converted successfully to individual PDF files, but when merging the files into one PDF file, some of the headers and/or text in the body contains garbled/scrambled text.
    This is a massive project and I am pushing 300 pages. Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this problem. I have tried converting them through Word and Acrobat Pro with no luck.
    Thank you,
    Chad

    After much tinkering around, I have finally solved the issue of the garbled text upon insertion of a converted file into a PDF file:
    1. In Word, click on the Adobe PDF tab
    2. click "change conversion settings"
    3. click on Settings tab (may be default tab)
    4. put a check in the box that says "PDF/A-1a; 2005 compliant file"
    5. click ok
    6. convert to PDF file
    7. inserted converted PDF file into another PDF
    I confirmed that my file now converts properly and there is no garbled text!
    I do not know what "PDF/A-1a; 2005 compliant file" is, but it worked!
