Bad quality in Acrobat and not in Preview

Hello,
When I open a pdf-file with Preview it looks perfect. When I open the same file with Acrobat Pro it looks crappy.
Pdf's created by Logic Pro come out with drop-shadows when opened in Acrobat. When opened in Prview they look perfect.
What is the problem here??
I am hoping for a solution desperately....
Annemiek

Agree, have same problem with barcodes and other. You have to zoom in really large to get the barcode look like it is. In Apple Preview there is no such problem. Maby there is a setting in acrobat to fix this but have not found it yet. A fix of this would be nice.

How to print off Web to Acrobat and not Reader?

Hello,
I have Adobe Acrobat Standard X (10.1.8) and Adobe Reader 9.5.5 installed on my PC (Vista Home Premium x64).
When I go to print a page off the Web to PDF, the resulting document currently gets displayed in Reader rather than Acrobat. I would prefer that the new document show up in Acrobat instead, so that I can delete any unnecessary pages (article comments, ads, etc.).
Is there any way to make it so that when a new PDF is created from the Web, the result shows up in Acrobat and not Reader? And if so, then how?
In case it makes a difference in how you answer-- I would like to keep Reader as the default when opening an existing PDF to read it.
Thank you.

There is really no good reason to have both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same system since Acrobat does everything Reader does and much more.
For what it's worth, Dov, over here in Mac-land, I find it really really useful to have both Reader and Professional installed. I find the casual reading experience in Reader to be much more convenient, and I'm much less likely to inadvertantly alter a file I only wish to read. By default the toolbars consume less screen real estate, which I find useful. Also for workflow reasons, I can have 20 PDFs open in Reader and 1 or 2 open in Professional, and can more easily keep them straight. I am also under the impression that Reader is less resource-intensive in terms of memory footprint.
Oh, and, of course, I find it useful to use Reader 10 because of unresolved bizarre performance problems with Reader 11 (reported to Adobe and that got some stillborn developer attention), while still using Pro 11 for editing and other pro-type tasks.
(On the gripping hand, when I want to do something like OCR a page I am reading in Reader so I can copy-paste it elsewhere, it is annoying to have to then open it in Pro.)
This is basically the opposite of your advice .
I'm under the impression this is more viable on the Mac than Windows though? Or perhaps it is a disaster waiting to happen.

PDFs display and print fine in Acrobat but not in Preview of PDFPenPro

I have a curious problem in that check boxes in certain PDF files (insurance applications) appear as a "p" instead of a check box when I view the file in Preview or PDFPenPro. The check boxes appear and print properly when I open the PDF in Acrobat.
I've checked the fonts with the Apple Font utility and there seems to be no issues with any of the fonts.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
Strangely I'm now having exactly the same problem all of a sudden. I've been building the book for about a month now (I've made about 6 before without any trouble) and along the way have been producing a pdf of the book to see how it will look. Yesterday I noticed some of the images seemed to have lost colour when looking at the pdf version and then today, many pictures all of a sudden look exactly like the example you've supplied above.
I've tried shutting down my imac and restarting thinking it was a memory issue, have checked if I had any filters activated (which I don't and I haven't used filters in books before either), have tried repairing then rebuilding aperture, copying the book to a new library, new location, opening on a different mac and then printing again but none of this had any positive effect.
So from what I understand from your last post, the workaround you came up with was to revert to the original of each image that had the problem and then make the adjustments again?

Forms in Acrobat but not in Preview?

Hey everyone
Im working on building my first interactive form (with checkboxes) in Acrobat Pro 9.. I added a submit button (by making it an interactive field with the command mailto so the viewer can mail it back to me).
When I open this PDF in acrobat, the submit button works and opens a prompt to use desktop email or web based email.
When I open the PDF in Preview however, the submit button no longer works.
Any reason why? And is there a way I can change this?
Thanks everyone!

I had a potential customer discover this same issue recently and with much embarrassment to me. I kept telling him how great the advanced PDF was and all he had to do was click my logo and the form could be sent to me effortlessly.
I thought I had tested the PDF within Preview, but I guess I overlooked that the reply function wasn't working. Anyway, I've been around the software block enough to expect problems... But this issue IMO is not a small thing.
I wish companies would realize the severe pitfalls of being too protective of proprietary functionality within their products. Because in the end, consumer confusion and frustration means we all loose.
So I'm supposed to have a disclaimer beside my PDF link on my site which says something like... "Hey this is an advanced PDF form, but it won't work with..."
Please forgive the rant if there's any update or fix I'm overlooking.

Bad Quality in Canvas and Exported Movie

Hi,
I'm a new user of FCE. I want to use it for presentation of my software on the internet. I have a screencapture video in quicktime format. The resolution is 1008x744px. This quality is perfect.
If i use this Video in a sequenz, the quality in Canvas or in the saved QuickTime Video is terrible.
What can I do to improve the quality?
Thanks for the help...

If you are displaying the whole screen it will look bad and there is no way of avoiding it.
It is caused because your screen is probably 1200 pixels (or more) wide but a DV image is only around 700 pixels wide so you are losing a tremendous amount of detail.
To make matters worse, much of the fine detail on the screen will probably shimmer or flicker because the video is interlaced.
You can reduce this by using the De-interlace Filter but the overall quality of the image will still be poor.
The only way I ever achieved reasonably sharp results was to show no more than half the screen at any one time. If you do that your results will be OK.

Subform Set visible in Design View and not PDF preview

I have created a form and used several subform sets, all of the sets and subforms within it are set to visible, but when I look at the PDF preview and when I upload the form into my internal system some of the sections are missing. I am not sure what is wrong, can someone please help!?

A subformset is used when you have numerous different subforms that can be laid down but the imbound data stream will determine which subform to lay down. For exmple if you have a form that has a a different verbiage based on state then you can have all of the subforms defined that could possibly go there then when the data is merged the state is derived and only the one for that state is used.
Hope that helps

Change default opening to Acrobat and not Reader

How to do? I have opened several pdfs via right click, Open as Acrobat Professional. It doesn't default to that preference. When I double click on a pdf, it always opens in Reader.

Disable Reader in the task list (it tends to run in the background and capture the PDF. Also, right click on the file and select open with - chosing Acrobat. If that does not fix the problem, you will have to go back into Explorer and fix the file associations.

Using Quality Notification ONLY and not others in QM function, ok?

Hi,
I am wondering if the quality notification can be used (i.e.to help department initiate complaints, either internally or externally)without the use of QM module.
Basically, we do not have QM department, and we don’t need to inspect stuff on receiving material, we are just trading company. But, one of the function in QM called Quality Notification can be used to makes complains and hence, we just wondering if we do not customized the full QMsetting but just only customize Quality Notification Setting (like QN type), can we use this Quality Notification?
Thanks,
Tuff

Hello,
Yes, you can use it and you can customize the notification type as per your requirements.
Well, in standard 6 QN type presents. # for complaints and 3 for defect analysis. Q1, Q2 and Q3 are for Complaint records and there analysis. While F1, F2 and F3 are for Defect records and analysis.
You can customize them , change screen tabs and fields as pe ryour requirements and implement where you exactly required.

Not true...Adobe has stated there will be compatibility updates and bug fixes for CS6. There will be no upgrades (as in new features) to CS6.
That is what I meant, no added functionalities or improvements beyond bug fixes.
Sorry for the imprecise phrasing.

Bad Quality Macbook Pro and Deficient Apple Technical Support in Argentina!!!

I have a Mac Book Pro that I bought a year ago and the last couple of months have been working really bad!
I sent it to the technical support and they told me they have to change several parts of it. After 2 months I'm still waiting for a response using a terrible slow machine that works like crap.
This was my first Macbook Pro and I was happy that I wouldn't have so many problems as in my previous Ubuntu PC but now I realized how silly I was, components from this Macbook Pro seems to be really bad and getting it fixed in countries like Argentina is almost impossible.
I'm a computer engineer and I've been really unpdroductive during the last months, so this make me consider the idea of going back to Linux or even a Windows Machine, since having a Macbook Pro proved to be a terrible experience for someone who really needs to trust in their computer.
I'm travelling to San Diego next week, does anybody know how can I fix this problem there or something?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry eww about that, I'm not sure what parts need to be replaced apart from the logic board (it seems that is the motherboard + microprocessor).
I'm not sure mac users can do something to help me, but I was expecting that after my experience other people willing to have mac support in Argentina realizes that it's really bad!
Thanks again for your interest!

How can users who have Acrobat Reader only save scanned pdf files so that the text on them is searchable using ctrl-F? I just use the recognize text with ocr feature in the full version of Acrobat and this seem to do the trick. Reader doesn't work!

Our users have scanned pdf files they want to be able to search using ctrl-f. I got them to be searchable by doing a recognize text using ocr with Acrobat Professional vesion 8. They want to know if they can make the files searchable with Acrobat Reader only or if they need the full Acrobat Professional software to make the files searchable.
Thanks for the help!!

To clarify a bit they need to have Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader. Reader has not been associated with the Acrobat name for 3 or more versions. The process you are asking about is a creation process - the purpose of Acrobat - and NOT a reading feature.

Acrobat is not letting me combine files anymore. It says an error has occured while converting. Why

When I try to combine my files, acrobat starts to get the files ready and then it shows that it has failed because of some error occurring. I even tried to combine files I have combined before and the same has happened to them, so I know that it is a problem with acrobat and not my files. How can I rectify this.

Hi daicheese,
Are you trying to combine files in Adobe PDF Pack (either online or via Reader) or in the Acrobat desktop application?
If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates and make sure you're using the most recent version.
If you're using PDF Pack, please clear the browser cache and try again, or try converting using a different browser. Also make sure there are no firewall or proxy settings that are limiting your access to the Internet.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Hello,
I'm sorry you're having trouble; unfortunately, I'm not sure I understand what's going wrong. Would you mind giving me more details about what you're trying to do and what the problem appears to be?
Just in case you're using the desktop version of Acrobat and not Acrobat.com (which is the forum to which you posted your question), here's a link to their forum so you can repost your question there:

except this major point i must admit the quality is quite good , but a bick lack of quality control and a customer disapointed at the end.
On the internet site it is not possible to send it back. So apple doesn't want to take in account that they mail sometimes fail, and want to satisfy their customer, because you have no other choice that accepting it.
best regards

Yes it is returnable.

Why don't pdf open in Preview, it asks where Adobe Acrobat is located? I never used Acrobat and do not want to use it.

I am using Safari 5.0.5 and open a page that is a PDF and only a black screen comes up and asks where I have Adobe Acrobat. I do not have Acrobat and want to use preview. I looked in the Safari preferences and there is no place to set it so PDFs only use Preview. Please help!

Right or control click a PDF file you already have on the hard drive then click Get Info.
In the Get Info panel from the pop up menu next to: Open with
