Adobe Reader 8 Text Covered With Black Boxes

I work in a call center in which we use Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 8 to read the customer's bills through a third party client. When we pull up the bills most of the text is highlighted in black and cannot be read. We can get around this issue by highlighting (which changes the colors) or by clicking on the comments icon (also associated with markup) several times until the text changes to a readable color. I have spent hours changing preferences with no luck and I called Adobe for help and they referred me here!!
If you wish to see what the problems looks like I have a picture at:

Any and all help is appreciated by me and the hundreds of people trying to use this application. Best Regards all, Chester

Hi folks!
Yep, the same "black-blocks" problem happens to me. It is easier to see it when I am reading a file page by page using the mouse wheel. When I am turning the wheel to scroll down the document normally, everything is OK. But if I stop for a few seconds and then turn it one step back, as if wanting to read a line up again, the black blocks appear, obscuring the text. I tried changing the resolution of the display from 32 to 16 bits, to no avail. This kind of problem never happened when I was using version 7, but I understand that, having changed from version 7 to version 8 for security reasons, there should be no reason to turn back to a previous version, isn't it so?
I hope Adobe checks this problem, 'cause it is really annoying when you are trying to check a schematic or a technical document, that you have to be going back and forth in the same page while those "black blocks" appears over the document. Let's wait and see...
Regards,
Mike LM

    Is it the Download assistant that is freezing or is it the web browser that freezes?

  • Adobe Reader 10.1 with some problems

    To Technical support,
    Dear sirs,
    I have some problems with Adobe Reader version 10.1.
    Once installed Adobe Reader, version 10.0, I found the problems listed below:
    When I open Adobe Reader 10.1, and check the "Task Manager" (Ctrl + Alt + Del), the process appears Adobe Open twice, taking increasing a lot of memory space.
    When attempting to view the following pages, Adobe Reader closes or crashes by itself, and can not continue.
    I have already installed it in other computers but the problem remains.
    What can be done to not happen anymore?
    Working with Technical Documentation
    PS. I'm using this version because of the tools to highlight text and make notes.
    thanks

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.

  • Adobe Reader substitutes Helvetica with a serif font under Ubuntu Linux 8.04

    Hello,
    after an upgrade to Ubuntu Linux 8.04, the following problem occurs:
    Short description:
    Adobe Reader substitutes Helvetica with a serif font (Adobe Serif MM).
    Long description:
    A font that is not embedded in the PDF should be replaced by a similar one that is available on the system. In particular, sans serif fonts should always be substituted by other sans serif fonts. However, Adobe Reader substitutes Helvetica (which is sans serif) with a serif font (Adobe Serif MM).
    Prerequisites:
    Operating System: Ubuntu Linux 8.04
    Adobe Reader Version: 8.1.2
    PDF-Document: uses Helvetica, but font is not embedded
    Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
    Regards
    Alexander

    Hi Alexander,
    It used to work in 7.10 because by default, we used to cache all font-config fonts on every launch of the reader. But, in 8.1.2, in order to improve the launch timings on systems which have large number of fonts, we have made caching of font-config fonts optional through the use of the flag that you mentioned in your note (ACRO_ENABLE_FONT_CONFIG).
    Thanks,
    Shilpi

  • Adobe Flash Player only shows black box on most websites.

    Adobe Flash Player 11.4.402.287 is only showing a black box but not loading or showing any buttons on some/most websites. I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and the problem exists on websites such as espn.com but works on others such as hulu and youtube. It exists on Google Chrome and Firefox.  I had some adblock and flash add-ons in Firefox, but I have the add-ons disabled. And the problem exists in both browsers.  It has been a problem for less than a month but I am not sure entirely how much longer.  I was outside of the US until recently, the problem may have corresponded with return but I am not sure. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash to no avail.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated.

    I am facing the same issues as well. In particular, I can't play flash videos on www.blizzard.com as the video controls doesn't show up.
    YouTube and Facebook flash videos work fine.
    After deleting ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player and ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player, the controls appeared.
    Perhaps you may want to try that?

  • Adobe Reader 9 incompatible with keynote pdf export files

    Dear all
    I've been creating lectures using keynote for quite a while and it has been working fine. I'm relying on using pdf export for my students to print out my lecture notes.
    However, since Adobe Reader 9.0, my exported pdf files do not appear right on Adobe -- they look perfect using a pdf viewer but not with Adobe Reader (they seem fine with Adobe 7 !!)
    It's a pretty bad situation, IT services are of no help and don't know why this happens (and are unable to provide another pdf viewer for University computers). I might have to start using a different programme which I really don't want to do.
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    I can export as ppt (loosing some of the nice layout) and quicktime but that's not really a proper alternative.
    Btw it was tried out on a number of different University computers (and sometimes, the disappeared text, appears when highlighting the document)
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I just DL'd the newest iWork, with KN 5.0.5, and have Reader 9.4.1. I exported a few of my KN presentations to pdf, and the result was fine with both Preview and Adobe Reader (but then, I had no problem before the update, either). So whatever the problem is, it's not universal.
    But I might still suggest a possible solution for those who are experiencing the problem (which I can't test conclusively, since I don't have it): Once the KN has been exported to pdf, open the pdf file with GraphicConverter, and then save it as pdf (to make sure I was saving a whole new file, and wanting to test it against the original version, I changed its name a bit). For me, again, both Preview and Reader open the new pdf file fine. But my theory is that saving with GC might possibly alter the file sufficiently to make it good for Reader, when it wasn't before.

  • How to uninstall Adobe Reader 9.2 with SCCM

    Hello, I am trying to create an  uninstall packed for Adobe Reader 9.2 and push it out to the clients with SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager).
    But the main problem I am having is that after creating the package, on the left side I drill down to the following folder "Software Distribution/Packages/Adobe Acrobat 9.2 Uninstall/Programs". Then I right click on it and choose "new then program".
    Then I type the name and in the 3rd box I can type a command line. So I typically use the following.  msiexec.exe /uninstall AcroRead.msi
    Then I distribute that package to my client machine in hopes that it will uninstall and nothing happens. I have it set to advertise after about 2-3 minutes.
    I think my problem lies with the command line. Probably not using the right switches. I basically want it to do a silent uninstall and reboot the machines
    after it is done. I want pretty much no user interaction what-so-ever.
    Any help with this is appreciated. Attached is a screen shot of what I am talking about talking about.

    The command we're using is msiexec /x {AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A92000000001} /qn

  • Adobe Reader Versions Compatible with Window 7 & I.E. 8.0

    We have a few users that experience blank pages or a pop-up with no text and only an OK button when trying to open an Adobe (web) Form with Adobe Reader 9.0 or 9.4.2 or 9.4.0 on Window 7 and I.E. 8.  Adobe Reader X is not an option since it is not supported within our firm. Does anyone have a list of the compatible Adobe Reader Versions for Windows 7 and I.E. 8. I'm sure this is highly unlikely, but does Adobe have a matrix that indicates the compatible version according to O.S. and Browser?

    What is your operating system and email client?  If you use web-based email, in what browser?
    What exactly does "not work" mean?  I have no problems using Save As with email attachments and Reader 11.0.6.

  • Adobe reader comes packed with two other programs

    I've downloaded Adobe Reader and its working just fine. The problem is, it seems to have downloaded two other programs with it: Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Air. Do I want these programs? What are they? Also, when I try to open Adobe Acrobat I continually have a box that comes up that says "Unfortunately Acrobat could not connect to the server to complete your action." So, do I want Acrobat? and if so, how do I make it connect to the server to register itself?

    Read about AIR at
    http://www.adobe.com/products/air/everyone/
    and acrobat.com (not to be confused with Adobe Acrobat, which is a
    program for making and editing PDF files) at
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat.com/Acrobat/
    You probably don't need them, but I shouldn't worry about them being
    there. I've found acrobat.com useful for file sharing.
