Bad text quality in Adobe Reader on Macbook Pro with Retina

When viewing documents in Adobe Reader (just installed on new Macbook pro retina), text quality in documents and in the program itself is very low.
Text quality is perfect in viewer and in Adobe on other computers and on my Iphone. All settings are as recommended (110 pixels/inch and text smoothening turned on). How can this be?

What is the shortcut key to highlight words in adobe reader in macbook pro

what is the shortcut key to highlight words in adobe reader in macbook pro?
Shift + U is not working
how can i change shortcut key?

I don't believe there is a keyboard shortcut available for that feature. But I believe if you click-select the topmost chapter, and Shift-click the bottommost chapter, it should select them all.
Other shortcuts for books can be set up in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts in the Panel Menus product area. There are no default shortcuts in that area.

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,

HT1338 how to download adobe reader on macbook pro

how to download adobe reader on macbook pro?

First of all, I want you to know that Mac OS X already has the ability to open and read PDF files. You do it with the Preview application. Also, on the Mac Adobe Reader is the third most vulnerable application to security risks. That is due to exploit are delivered through PDF files.
If you decide to download it you should still stick to using Preview to open PDF files and only use Adobe Reader in the few cases that Adobe Reader is absolutely required. Preview is not vulnerable to the same exploits as Adobe Reader because it does not have all the capabilities as Adobe Reader.
To get Adobe Reader go to: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Click on the download button. Once the download completes install the software.

The quality of built-in camera on macbook pro with retina display is far worse than any other mac. Why?

I just got the new macbook pro with retina display like a week ago and I've been noticing that the quality of the built-in camera on it is so bad.
It's even worse than my 2009 iMac or my sister's 2012 13" macbook pro. I don't get why this is a facetime HD built-in camera when i can obviously see that is not even near HD. Or is it just my computer. Do i have to bring it to the apple store??

it's advertised 720p so yes it is the same as all the other MBP. it may just be the resolution of your monitor is stretching the pixels. Don't worry about bringing it to the apple store.

Why do I lose my text layer in AE when gpu ray trace rendereing? Macbook pro with retina and latest

why do I lose my text layer in AE when gpu ray trace rendereing? Macbook Pro with Retina and latest AE update.
Any new text layers disapear also as soon as the 3d box is checked. Solid layers do likewise. The text is available in fast draft mode but is not present in a final render.
Adussting the number of "rays" makes no difference.
No one else seems to be having this problem with ther macbook pro with retina ( on internet).
What silly mistake am I making???????????
If I start the project in CPU ray trace all is fine. If after the problem develops in GPU I change back to CPU I DONT get them back!!!!!
I just reset the AE preferences - no help.

Reason for blurring of text in MacBook Pro with retina display?

I was in an Apple store recently and examined a 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.
I noticed that when I expanded the size of the text (using the touchpad) on the Apple web page on the screen that there was a brief blur in the appearance of the text before the text looked sharp again at the larger size.
I asked an Apple person at the store why this occurred. He claimed that the brief blurring of the text that I saw when I expanded its size was due to my eyes adjusting to the rapid change in text size.
The answer appeared ridiculous to me. I have a 17-inch MacBook Pro about 5 years old as well as an iPad 2 and iPad mini. On none of these machines have I seen the temporary blurring of the text appearance when increasing its size.
Is there an inherent problem with retina displays that causes this problem?
Thanks for your help

Nah, it was due to the image zoom being processed off the server for the Apple website and the likely clogged connection wifi speeds off the local router in that specific Apple store.
most websites are not designed for retina level viewing either
Ive done zoom in on a Retina here at the house with 30MB down speeds and never had a blurring unless it was coming off a jammed up server from a specific website that was slow.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina. Which adapter do I purchase to connect it to a Samsung TV for the best quality?

Doesn't matter. All HDMI cables should work, some are considered better than others, I had a $5 ebay cable work just as good as a $20 monster HDMI cable.

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.

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display?

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display, please?
Have searched Adobe website for answer - most recent is 2013 answer, saying no.
Contradicted by a staff ember who only referred to Photoshop, not Elements.
Reason I need it is that iPhoto does not support very high resolution photos - which I have now scanned onto my MacBook and do not want to re-scan!! After 90 minutes at my local Genius bar (lovely folk, very conscientiously searching for an answer...), re-scanning was their final piece of advice.
Help, please...

Hello Smis,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are having issues with your HP Monitor on your MAC. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Updating a Monitor Driver, where it states under the sub-heading Using HP monitors on a Mac "HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment."
This being said all I can advise is that you check to see that the monitor is set to operat at 60Hz and contact Apple for assistance if that does not get your monitor displaying correctly.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Please fix this issue.

I was having the same issue - couldn't believe my eyes on how horrible and fuzzy Flash Builder looked on my new Macbook Pro w Retina. Was suffering through it for the past week and just found this work around that someone figured out for Eclipse that also works on Flash Builder (guess b/c it's built on Eclipse). Here's the link to the bug report that shows the work around (Thanks to Brad Hudgeons):
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=382972
here's a cut and paste from the bug report in case the above url gets removed:
Here's the workaround: Do "Show package contents" on the Eclipse.app. Edit Contents/Info.plist. Just above </dict> </plist> Place this: <key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key> <true/>
Instead of Eclipse, show package contents on Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app. After you edit the Info.plist file, go back up to the Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app and duplicate it. It will create a Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 copy.app. Delete your original Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 and rename the Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 copy.app to Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app. Then launch Flash Builder - you should see text that is much clearer. The graphics on the ui are still blurry but at least the text should be crisp.

How does Autodesk Maya run on the MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

Hello there,
I'm interested in using the MacBook Pro with Retina Display for Autdesk Maya and wanted find out what people's experiences with that are. It'd be great if anyone can help share their experiences!
Thanks!

One thing I do know, is the the UI is very small and menu items/buttons are hard to see. Someone posted a video of a now removed autodesk forum response on how to adjust font sizes .cfg file style, but I tried and it did nothing to the small text in Maya 2014. If you plan on it and don't have button and menu locations memorized by feel, I wouldn't use this software on a macbook pro without an external display, or change the resolution out of retina to use Maya.

Tiny white spot on MacBook Pro With Retina Display Screen

I bought my MacBook Pro with retina display on July 10,2012 It has been working fine but then, I noticed a white spot on the left side of the screen. It's real tiny, proably not even an inch big but I can see it. Other peole have not been able to see it, But I can. I spoke to AppleCare, they said to mail it in to have them look at it since I don't live near an Apple Store. But is it really worth sending my computer in for something that is so small? It is also too late to return my computer.
P.S I think and so does AppleCare, that it is a dead pixel
Should I send it in? Has anyone ever mailed in their computer to Apple before? What is it like? Is it a good or bad experiance? How long does it take for you to get it back?
Thank You!

I think we have the same issue. I bought my Macbook rpo retina last sept 2012. I jsut discovered it recently as I often watch Tv shows on my ipad3. I happened to watch a tv show in my mbpr lately and saw this tiny white flickering dot on the top left corner of my display. I see it only intermittently meaning in some instances you see it sometimes not. It only happens when in full screen using QT player. If I minimize it and back to ful scrn, the dot disappears. After few mins it may or may not show up.
I brought it to apple customer service and they cant duplicate the issue. I told them its random and they should wait for it. They said theyve been watching tv shows in full scrn for 2 days already and it didnt happen. I even showed them video clips - I record the tiny dot flickering using my iPhone - but still they cant reproduce the issue. After I brought it back home, I immediately watch a TV show and see it once again. It dosappears once you minimize it and returning to full scrn mode the flickering disappears.
So I thought Why would it disappear once I minimize it? If its hardware then it should be there all the time! and so I use VLC player instead to check if it would happen as well. for sevral days, I used vlc player to watch all movies/videos and IT DID NOT HAPPEN AT ALL! There is no tiny white dot flickering with VLC! and so I thought maybe this is firmware or driver...and so when the macbook pro has an update recently about 2.0 something...I thought it would resolve the issue but it didnt.
I have inserted a copy of the flickering tiny white dot...
