Black boxes w/numbers inside on scanned docs

We are using Adobe Acrobat Standard version 7. When we open scanned documents that were created using Acrobat 5, black boxes with numbers in them appear on the page. Sometimes they appear next to the actual fields that were filled in (i.e. name, date, etc.) but sometimes the boxes and numbers randomly appear on the right-hand side of the page. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It simply sounds like the settings you have set in the scanner software is different.
when I scan 20 pages of B/W text I get around 16 MB. With a PC it's around 400 kb.
That's not right.
A single 8.5 x 11 page @ 300 dpi is gonna be ~1.2 MB.
To get 50 pages to be only 400kb, they are being compressed.
You are scanning as a jpeg on the PC and as a bitmap on the Mac.

  • PDF docs prints black boxes instead of my pictures, Printing with Reader works

    I have one user running the most updated version of Adobe Acrobat 9 (v9.4.5 I believe it is) and when she opens a PDF document that has pictues you can see the pictures and make changes to the document as needed.  However, when you go to print, all the images in the PDF document are all Black boxes.
    Now if I open this same file in Adobe Reader (any version thus far has worked) the images are there and print preview and printing all work, the images print.  It is just in Adobe Acrobat that I have black boxes.
    I would really rather not uninstall / reinstall if it can be avoided.
    thanks,

  • Black box or line appears in New Message when forwarding MS Word or PDF doc

    Strange thing...
    Ever since I formatted and rebuilt my iMac and MacBook Pro last week with Snow Leopard, Mac Mail is acting funny. When I forward a document from MS Word or Acrobat Reader, I get a large black box or black line in the New Message line which wipes out my signature. I have a screen shot but I don't see a way to post it with my inquiry.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Darin

    I am experiencing the same problem. It does not happen when I drag a PDF from Finder into a new Mail message. It does happen, though, when I try to "Mail Selected PDF Document" from Preview. The problem didn't start until I installed Safari 5.
    My workaround for right now when I see the black box in Mail is to: select all, cut, hit delete (this gets rid of the last strip of black), then paste. This re-places the PDF without any kind of black box.
    Fingers are crossed that this gets fixed sooner rather than later....

  • Help! Image Capture scanning detected images solid black! Screen cap inside.

    I know this is not a forum for Image Capture, but there is no dedicated forum for it, and I figure there are smarter people here with regards to images.
    Image Capture is scanning ~some~ detected images solid black. It presents an overview scan just fine, but than the final files are black.
    Here is a screen capture:

    iPhoto earlier than iPhoto 9 (11) does not support Grayscale because it adds  a color profile name Dot Gain 20%.  This profile is not compatible with iPhoto.  You can either rescan those photos as color photos or change the profile to sRGB or RGB. 
    I've created an Automator workflow application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile, that will convert B/W files to a jpg file with the sRGB profile.  However, is doing so it adds an additional jpeg compression level to the file resulting is a smaller file size but not a smaller image size. You can download it from Toad's Cellar.
    The conversion will have to be done on the photos outside of iPhoto before they are imported.  So you will have to export the original files to a folder on the Desktop, run the application on them and then reimport the new files.

  • Black box with exclamation point instead of photo

    I recently switched from a PC to Mac and used a transfer cable to move my photos into iPhoto. Small thumbnails look fine, but when I open some of them all I get is a black box with an exclamation point inside a white circle. This seems to apply only to SOME of the pics that were originally SCANNED into my PC as jpeg files. Although I suspected this was how photos imported, I did try the Rebuild feather, but that didn't work. Is still have my originals on my old PC, but I'd like to get rid of it. Is there still a way I can access what's on my Mac -- or successfully import from my PC?
    Thanks in advance for the assistance!

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Problem with .png images being black boxes in InDesign

    Hello,
    I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with a problem I'm having with some .png files.  When I try to place certain .png files in my InDesign document, they come in as just black boxes.  The .png files are created by a third party application, (EditLive w/MathFlow)  But if I view the .png files in Fireworks or other image viewers, they appear to be fine.  I have tried looking at the image properties inside InDesign, to see if by tweaking them it might work, but I am not a graphic designer by trade so my knowledge is rather limited.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Specs:
    Windows XP
    CS4 Suite including:
         Adobe InDesign CS4
         Fireworks CS4
    Thanks,
    Josh

    That worked!  Mostly.  The little preview box on the file upload dialog still shows a black box.  But when the image is placed inside the doc it looks perfect.  Well, as perfect as the .png can look.
    Is there any way within InDesign to "ignore" the alpha channel or whatever of the graphic?  I have access to the IDML as well as the normal application interface & the SDK through the InDesign Server.  I'd prefer not to be reliant on opening the image in another tool, as we have a large number of images to process some times & it could get annoying.  If not, I can try contacting the 3rd party group that is generating the .png & see if they can better handle the alpha channel when they're creating the image maybe...
    And thanks for the quick responses!

  • Help! I can't get rid of this little black box!

    I ordered DSL service and tried to hook it up the other day, unsuccessfully. In the instructions it says that if you have problems to insert the disk provided. I told the lady I ordered from that I had a Mac and she said it would be no problem, but of course no where does it say that this disk is not usable on a Mac.
    You get where this is going I'm sure, I put it in and followed what it said, including restarting the iMac as instructed. After the restart it will do the "bong" sound and I get the initial white screen with the grey apple, but I never get the little grey lines in a wheel shape. After a couple of minutes I get a litte black box about 2" wide and 1/4" tall across the top of the apple with little colored lines in it, and nothing else happens or works. I can't even get the disk drive to open or close without holding the button on the back, turning it off, and then holding the open button while I turn it back on with the button.
    I have restarted using the hardware repair disk, all is fine. I restarted using Disk Warrier, all repaired, but still not working. I restarted using the 10.2 install disk and verified and repaired the disk and permissions, several were repaired, but still the black box. I tried holding the shift key at restart and still the box, and also tried holding the control and "s" key with no luck.
    Of course AT&T knows nothing about the Mac and after talking for 1.5 hours to 5 different people and having a tech guy come and not know anything to help they tell me I have to call Apple to pay for help. I am so frustrated!!! Is there anyone out there with suggestions before I call and pay?
    Many thanks,
    Cassie

    Hi Cassie:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I have not used OS X 10.2.x for a long time, but I think you should consider and archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    An A&I will install a fresh OS X - hopefully eliminating whatever happened with the AT&T disk. You would, of course, have to update OS X to current levels for 10.2.
    Barry
    P.S. It also occurred to me that AT&T does not support OS X 10.2 - you might ask them that question.

  • Videos on youtube and bbc radio iplayer display a black box instead of the player box.

    so yesterday morning i was using youtube and bbc iplayer fine and then last night they suddenly stopped working and i can't think of any reason why, i haven't updated or made any changes to anything in the last day. the pages load fine but where there was previoulsy the video or in the case of iplayer the picture with the controls on, there is now just a black box. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash player but otherwise don't know what to do!
    i've also tried using internet explorer and have the same problem with this. i've tried to update firefox but cant get it to work, although i imagine this won't help anyway since ive got the same problem in internet explorer.
    Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

    You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

  • How do I add page numbers on a Pages doc.?

    How do I add page numbers on a pages doc.?

    It won't work in Layout mode documents but in Word Processor documents:
    1. Add a Textbox and move it to the top right, turn off Textwrap
    2. Insert a page number in the box
    3. Select the Textbox: Menu > Arrange > Section Master > Move Objects to Section Master/Make Master Objects Selectable
    4. Insert a Section Break on each page. It has to be a Section break otherwise editing the Master Objects will repeat on previous pages.

  • Black box (line) surrounds and follows mouse, 'mini' screen size, PIP?

    Hi,
    I just tried to install the new wireless mighty mouse and wireless apple keyboard.
    The mouse worked for a minute, but the install of the keyboard killed the BT mouse and now there's this ANNOYING black box around the mouse cursor.
    After playing with it I've noticed that the pointer cursor, which is surrounded by this box (4:3 ratio box, approx 2" wide by 1.5" tall on my 20" 1600x1200 monitor).
    The odd thing is the cursor's position within this box moves in correlation with where on my overall desktop the cursor is placed: If I put my cursor in the upper right corner of my whole screen, the mouse cursor is also in the upper right corner of the small 'box'; if I move it to the lower left of the screen, it is also in the lower left of the box, and so on for the other two corners, and if it's in the middle of the screen, it's in the middel of the little black box.
    So this seems very strange.
    Oh, and neither the BT keyboards or the new mighty mouse BT will show up in the BT menu as recognized devices, though they did just briefly in the beginning.
    So after buying a new USB hub to be able to plug in the Apple/Belkin USB hub along with the Apple store's D-Link USB Bluetooth adapter and a new BT keyboard and mouse - $200 for a wireless keyboard and mouse, all I have is ultra annoying new software problems and all the same wires as before, with an additional keyboard and mouse on my desk. UGH!!!
    Can anyone help with this 'black box around the keyboard issue, at least?
    Thank you soo, so much for any solutions!
    Sarge
    Oh and this weren't enough my barely used video ipod video 60 GB self-distructed this AM - melted inside somehow. I am in Apple ****.

    GREEN STAR FOR YOU!
    Of all the things - somehow, and I've never even been into this control panel, inside the Universal Access/Seeing/Options dialogue, the box was checked saying "Show preview rectangle when zoomed out".
    I unchecked this, and it went away. I had not selected this, ever. How it happened, I don't know except that I do have a Logitech NuLOOQ tooldial device which I had unplugged from USB while troubleshooting my BT wireless keyboard and mouse, and this device requires having the 'enable access for assistive devices' checked in the Universal Access control panel.
    Perhaps unplugging that device somehow lead to this problem, but otherwise I've never 'visited' the UA pref panel or checked anything in it.
    Odd, but THANK YOU for the suggestion!!!

  • Can't get rid of black boxes when form is printed

    When I save a form to PDF there are visible black boxes around the feilds in the form. I thought these would go away once it printed but they are still there and make the form look cluttered. Any idea how to fix this?

    Hi;
    There is no option in FormsCentral to modify the fields text input box borders.  You could edit the PDF in Acrobat and remove the border.  In the screen shot below I removed the border color from the top two fields, in the bottom two fields I added a fill color so you could see the input box and it doesn't just blend in with the page:
    In this screen shot the form has been filled out, and this is how it would print:

  • Macbook freezes up with a black box in the middle of the screen.

    My Macbook freezes up with a black box in the middle of the screen. Inside the black box is a message to power down and then re power up.
    The Mac does re-start, but freezes up again after a while.
    Does anybody know how to get rid of this problem?

  • Interactive pdf has random black boxes appearing after video slides

    I am using indesign cs6 and I have a document that is 52 pages long with images, text and vidoes that are flv files. I export the doc as an interactive pdf. I open the doc in Acrobat and it plays fine. The only issue is that after a video slide, A random black box, the same size as teh video element is appearing on the slide after the video.
    Right in the middle. As if I have left the video element on the same slide.
    Not sure if this is a ram issue or something I am missing. I have checked the slides after the videos and the elements are fine.
    Please help. Thank you all.

    It's a long-time bug, doubt it'll ever be fixed. You can use Acrobat to change the annotation properties to 'disable when' = page is not visible, so the Flash Player instance is unloaded from the display stack - that usually helps. InDesign doesn't let you control that parameter.

  • How do i put scanned docs in a file to email

    i want to put scanned docs into a file folder and email

    Which OS version are you on?
    If current, you should be able to scan your documents to become one multi-page PDF - so you can just send that.
    If you want them separate, you should be able to create a folder, put the documents inside, and in Finder, go to File > Compress and you will wind up with a compressed .zip file which you can attach to your email.
