Adobe Reader screen images are fuzzy or out of focus

The screen images in an Adobe Reader document are fuzzy or out of focus.  How can I sharpen them?

Thanks:
The Fonts & Colours option worked wonderfully for me and now my pages are displaying the colour and images I expected to see. So very simple in the end. Is it related to the current upgrad? At least I will not have to trouble with attempting to revert to an earlier version.

    Google Chrome is a problem:
    if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
    if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version.  Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
    My suggestion; use a different browser!

  • Screen images becomes big and out of proportion

    Hello,
    I've just upgraded to IO 4.3 and everything went perfectly smooth. Suddenly when I was using safari the whole screen images became big and out of proportion for that screen... It's like resolutions of my display would go crazy... I remember this particular issue happened to me on an earlier iPhone model... I don't remember how I solved then.
    Please, could someone help me?
    Thanks

  • All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default, as I am workin

    I am using Adobe 8 Professional and working on Windows XP. I have been facing an issue lately with opening files in a dual-monitor environment. All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default. There are times when I work only in one monitor and when I open a PDF file and want to have a look at it, I have to connect another monitor to view that file, since this file is open in the secondary monitor. It is very disappointing with such instances happening with Adobe (a leading organization). Can you please help so that the Adobe Reader files open in the primary monitor by default?

    On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.

  • When using video camera on iPad 3 screen keeps going in and out of focus

    Every time I use my video camera the image goes in and out of focus making the blurry there seems to be no settings to stop this help.

    At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.

  • Images are fuzzy

    I am converting files containing psd images into pdfs using Acrobat 8. The images appear fuzzy in the pdfs. I know I sorted this out in Acrobat 6 but can't remember how and the help files are not very helpful. What should I do ?

    The psd file is an image imported into a GSP Publisher 4 Gold file. I then use Acrobat 8 pro to convert to a pdf. I know I worked out how to do it ok in Acrobat 6 but that was 5 years ago and I can't remember how I did it.

  • IMovie 6 HD - TV Screen Images are blurred

    How do I created iMovie DVD that plays clear images and text?
    I do not want to keep wasting DVDs experimenting for clear result.
    I created iMovie per instructions from another post:
    imported screenshots of website using KenBurns effect;
    set the effect to 1.0 to stop zooming, and did not allow iMovie to render movie when exporting.
    Discussion indicated that blurred image in iMovie would be clear on TV screen.
    Imported snapshots were crystal clear in Preview and Photoshop.
    Imported iMovie to iDVD and burned DVD.
    DVD plays blurred images and text.

    Are you saying I should size any still images at 768x576 pix before importing them into iMovie since that is TV resolution?
    If you are using PAL, yes. For NTSC, the resolution is 640x480 pixels.
    Does it matter what dpi the images are?
    No, the dpi is of NO concern in video.
    If snapshot captures screen images at 72dpi,
    does it help to increase dpi of image in Photoshop?
    No.
    or is that only interpolating dpi since capture was at 72dpi?
    Yes.

  • Can't even open adobe reader - screen is gray

    can;t even open adobe reader even though system says it is installed. can't open pdf files...very irritating

    Could you inform us at least if you are in Mac or Win? Knowing the versions of your OS and Reader would also be useful. Do you get that gray screen as soon as you try to open Reader, or after it loads?

  • Adobe Reader 9.4.6 has taken out my printer drivers

    On 12/14/11 I was on my Windows 7 based system when i was sent a pop up window query asking me if I wanted to upgrade to Adobe Reader 9.4.6 I had an earlier version and I get prompts of this nature all the time, so I said yes. Download was protracted, taking 10-15 min. Afterwards I found I could not print documents from any of the other programs I had on that machine, my control panel lists no printers hooked up (like it disabled all the drivers) and attempts to add a driver through the Windows System Wizard just hang up. Any others had this problem? Is this a malware infestation of some kind? The McAfee Security Center software that came with the machine (a recondtioned Dell) hasn't given me any alarms. The program as downloaded takes up 144 MB.

    Oddly, it sort of sounds like app behavior under Mac OS X Lion.  Lion has a feature called Resume that puts an app that is launched into the state it was in when it last quit.  So, if certain documents were open when it last quit, those documents would "resume" (re-open automatically) the next time the app is launched.
    Now, your profile info says you have a PowerPC iMac running Leopard (and you are posting the "iMac (PPC)" forum), so this should not apply.  But maybe you are running Lion on a newer Mac and your profile info is old.  Or maybe Adobe Reader has been updated to have a restore open documents feature.  In that case, if you accidentally selected all in a folder full of many PDF files and opened them all, and then you quit Reader in that state, that "state" may have been saved for the next time you launched Reader. By closing each document manually, and then quitting Reader, you changed the state when last quit to having no open documents.
    If this happens again (in any app), these commands may be useful to know:
    There is usually a Close command under the File menu (in the Menu Bar).  If you press the Option key, that command changes to Close All.  So if an app unintentionally opens a very large number of windows (and it is not locked up as a result), you can give the Close All command instead of manually closing each window.
    In Lion, if you press (and hold) the Shift key while launching an app, the app launches with a "clean slate" (ignoring the state when it last quit).  I don't know if that would have worked in your case, but it would have been worth a try.  Sorry I did not think of it before; I did not see the possible connection to the Resume feature.

  • Adobe reader 9.1.2: "copies" greyed out under page handling

    windows xp pro: sp3
    adobe reader 9.1.2
    canon faxphone L80 (latest drivers)
    When printing from a NON PROTECTED document, the "copies" option is greyed out under page handling.
    This issue only applies to the Canon L80 and I can print multiple copies to any other type of printer in my office.
    The Canon L80 will allow for multiple copies on every other document application (ie.: MS word) so this issue is isolated to Adobe Reader.
    Additionally, this issue appears to have begun with version 8 of Reader, I uninstalled that version and clean reinstalled both the printer driver and Reader to eliminate the possibility of corruped installations.
    Canon Technical Support walked through troubleshooting steps and verified that this appears to be an issue with Adobe Reader.
    hopefully someone can lend some insight into why this is happening.
    Thanks,
    -Zack

    OK, here is what "export ACRO_PRINT_DEBUG=1" elicits: PPD not found - cupsGetPPD failed.
    The miracle of Google search led me to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/395263, where there was no follow-up to the above problem reported by Ernst Schmidt (Feb. 5 2008).  Further search led me to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/395385, where a workround is suggested, but no solution to the "cupsGetPPD failed" problem has been reported.
    In my case, /etc/cups/ppd has indeed the right PPD file.  Hence why the "PPD not found" persists is a mystery.  Using the custom printer option, I am still not able to get duplex printing (which was the reason why I was clicking repeatedly on the Properties button).  The printer refused to heed "lp -o sides=two-sided-long-edge" and printed on one side only.  Without specifying any options, my one-sided woes continue, despite /etc/cups/lpoptions containing "Default HP_LaserJet_M2727nf_MFP PageSize=A4 Duplex=DuplexNoTumble".
    Bottomline: duplex printing continues to remain elusive.
    I am now beginning to wonder if this is an HP problem, rather than Adobe-related.  Nevertheless, "cupsGetPPD failed" is puzzling.

  • Adobe Reader XI - Comments are so slow it's unusable... HELP!

    Hi
    Running Adobe Reader XI on a brand new Windows 10 laptop - my work involves using Reader to proof read manuscripts, so it's crucial that adding Comments is responsive and quick.
    Currently, if I open a comments box, it opens within 2-3 seconds, but then once I type a comment into the box, it takes anywhere up to 35 seconds to even appear! As I type, the box remains empty for at least 20-25 seconds, after which the text eventually appears.
    I can't work like this.
    Have been through EDIT/PREFERENCES/COMMENTS , EDIT/PREFERENCES/DISPLAY etc and can't find anything that might help... I need things like text smoothing and line enhancement as I'm proofing the appearance of books as well as the content, so I need to know the lines I see are how they will appear in final version.... so I can't turn that stuff off (although I have tried and it makes no difference anyway).
    Can anyone help me speed up this particular aspect of the programme? Nothing else on the laptop runs slow like this.
    Thanks,

    UPDATE:
    I was actually running the most recent version - 11.0.09 - but unistalled and then re-installed to see what would happen.
    Re installed, I used it to open a PDF (call it File "A") (around 6000k in size) and tried the comments tool. Worked perfectly.
    Opened file "B". Original problem - comment appearing around 10-15 seconds after typing.
    Re-opened file "A", to see if it is a fault with file "b" rather than Reader itself... sadly, the comments tool is now just as slow on this one, despite having worked perfectly first time.
    Feels like it might be some kind of cache problem? Or possibly interference from a security program running alongside?
    All thoughts welcome!

  • Reducing size of an Adobe Reader 8 image

    Is there some way to control the size of the image displayed by Adobe Reader? Have scanned a photo that presents an oversize image as high as 168%

    Look in Reader preferences>Page display.
    This will only effect the way YOU view it though. With Reader, you cannot control how others view it. That requires Acrobat.
