Blurred text in preview

Hi all,
I'm trying to revive a previous post. Essentially I'm having a problem with blurred text in preview, similar to this post from last year: https://discussions.apple.com/message/10895578 . Also, here's mine (https://discussions.apple.com/message/16092409), and I haven't received replies.. but what the previous discussion thread shows is exactly the same issue I'm having. Has anyone seen this blurred/smeared text in Preview/Quicklook before? and were you able to fix it?? It only happens with PDFs (and NOT present in Adobe Acrobat/Reader)..
It wouldn't be so annoying if it wasn't that Mail.app uses preview also and I often get work PDFs mailed to me.
Any fixes??
Thanks!

I'm having the same issue viewing PDF's....
It seems to work fine with Adobe Reader, just not in Preview.
Here's the links for the PDF's..

But then strangely this one can be previewed...

    HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
    When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
    If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
    Help!

    That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

  • Edit/delete text in Preview

    How do I edit/delete PDF text in Preview?  I can get the handles around the text, but can do nothing with the text.  Text is a note added within the original PDF (not at the  margin).

    Open your photo in Preview and convert it into a pdf file before you start your project. To convert it to pdf use the "Export" option and select "pdf".
    Once it is a pdf document you can use Preview to add text, speech bubbles and other annotations, and you will be able to remove them again, when you open your document again.
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S: I can currently test this only in 10.8.2, but it should work the same on your system.

  • Highlights text in Preview: it's not viewable in PC apps

    I use to hightlight and underline text using preview.app.
    If I send the pdf file to other users and if they try to open with a PC they can't see the "things" I made.
    Any help?

    This type of thing can happen when the document is saved with the Preview application on the Mac, but it can be due to other things as well. These other things have been difficult for me to determine, but to fix it (assuming the form is not otherwise corrupted as it can be when saved with Preview) you can export the form data to an FDF file and then re-import it into the form. You'll need Acrobat for this. To fix with either Reader 11 (which can save) or Acrobat you can use the script that's available here: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

  • All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"?

    All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"? My Lightroom release is 5.7.1.
    Thanking you in anticipation!

    I'd like to get all these '-1 suffix' files together with their associated Develop adjustments into one folder (if they aren't already) so I can see them in Grid view in the Library module, which I use as my basic starting point for everything else at this early stage of my Lightroom 'career'.
    To see what folder these are stored in, right-click on a photo and select "Go to Folder in Library".
    Advice: if you are going to use Lightroom effectively, you probably want to stop using folders as your method to create a grouping of photos that are already in Lightroom; there are plenty of built-in tools, such as keywords, collections, color labels, etc.
    I don't understand why the search on the entire catalog picked up apparently the same two file versions but also got the Develop adjustments when going to the relevant Folder didn't show the adjustment black squares against each image in Grid view nor were they there when the images were opened in the Develop module.  Perhaps if I understood this, I'd be a bit more confident of moving forward myself.
    These are most likely different versions of the same photo, in different folders. Lightroom stores the edits in its own catalog, and so it knows that one folder's photos have edits, and the other folder's photos do not have edits. Please understand that Lightroom is a database, it knows where the photos are at the time you import them (or add them to the catalog by synchronize), and then if you move things around in your operating system, Lightroom does not know anything about that and problems begin. Thus the advice to organize using Lightroom tools and methods and not operating system tools and methods.

  • Privacy: Caller ID and Text Messaging Previews

    How do you turn off Caller ID,Voicemail and Text Messaging previews on the home screen of the iPhone so everyone can't see your business in case you put your phone down for a few minutes.
    Thanks!

    Even when auto-locked it will show the Text Message when it is received by lighting up the screen.
    I for one have the pass code enabled and it works like a charm, only showing the sender but not the message.

  • Highlighting text in preview without "touchpad click"

    I am working a lot on pdfs in which I have to highlight certain parts. I use Mac's Preview. So far I have been using the touchpad, by e.g. clicking and then dragging the cursor over the relevant section. This might sound a bit silly, but the clicking and dragging is become a hassle (if you do it for a few hours) since you have to keep the touchpad pressed while highlighting the text.
    Is there a way that i only have to click a key and then can simply highlight with the touchpad the text In short, can I replace the click on the touchpad with a key on the keyboard? I would keep the key pressed with my left hand and move with my right hand on the touchpad. Would be - at least for me - much easier.
    Hope i was clear enough. Any hint would be very much welcome!!

    Even easier than your suggested solution is to turn on the highlighted gestures in the screenshot below in System Prefernces > Trackpad | Point & Click.
    Once they're set, to highlight you just tap (not click) once at the beginning of the text you want highlighted, then 3-finger swipe to extend the highlighting.
    Give it a try. I think you'll find it rather effective...

  • Highlighting text in  Preview

    Unexpectedly, a strange alteration to how I can highlight text,  when reading a pdf in Preview has occurred. I used to be able to check the highlight icon in the annotations bar and that's about it. Now when I intend to highlight text, the colour extends to being four lines wide, and when I finish - it gets even stranger. Instead of  the text with a straight band of colour - like with a real high-liner pen - odd shapes occur across the text! How to revert to a simple, colour line highlighting the text I feel is important?

    No it has nothing to do with, if the PDF is protected or not. It is not in this case, it is having the PDF open in Preview and holding down the mouse button and dragging and highlighting the information in whatever direction you push your mouse in. Preview seems to only highlight what ever is showing on the screen instead of highlighting from page to page.

  • How do I hide the text message preview in IOS5.0.1.

    What's up All?,
    Since upgrading my 4s to 5.0.1 I notice there's no way to hide the text preview on the lock screen.  For privacy reasons I don't want this to happen, it's ok if a name comes up but I don't want to see the message.  I've been searching the threads and am calling no joy.  One suggestion was that if the phone is password locked that it would just show that you have a text and the senders name, nothing more.  This isn't the case on my end, I always password lock all my stuff, phone included and I still see the text preview.  Under the setttings menu for texting, there's not even an option to turn the preview off, at least not on my phone, there was before.  
    Has anyone found a way to deal with this?  It didn't happen prior to IOS 5.0.1. 
    Thank you for any and all replies.  

    Color me feeling stupid!  I don't recall if I disabled it that way or not when I orignally got the phone, I know on the 3g it was under settings>messages.  In either case, you steered me to where I needed to go and got the issue fixed for me and for that, I thank you, I appreciate you're taking the time to help out!
    Take care

  • Can no longer select text in Preview

    Hello there,
    A very annoying problem: I selected some text in a .pdf file that was opened with Preview and I marked it yellow, however once I saved it I could no longer select any more text, it is like the function has disapeared. I even tried restarting the computer, but I can no longer select text in that file. How odd?
    Funny enough, the phenomenon doesn't occur with all my .pfd files. I guess it is a bug, but quite annoying. Any one else having the same problem?

    Thanks for posting back though i'm sorry it didnt work.
    I believe there are also other dashboard plist files in that folder (i'm not currently at my Mac so can't say which exactly, though i believe one is called "client"). You could try trashing them (or dragging them to the desktop).
    Does the problem also happen if you log in to another account? Create a new account if necessary.
    /p

  • Blurred Text in PDF Form

    Created a form by converting a pre-existing PDF to a form-fillable one using Acrobat Pro.
    The form-fillable PDF was created fine.
    In editing the form, I changed the text fields to allow multiple lines of text.
    Saved the form as a new PDF filename
    When filling out the form using Reader, most fields allow for text wrapping to multiple lines.
    At the bottom of the form, several fields allow text entry, but then blur the text both when filling the fields, when printing, and after saving under a new file name.
    Ideas, suggestions, etc.?

    Now that I said that, I should revise it to "...it most likely would have happened when you edited the field..." as I recall working on a form sent to me by someone else who had added field using the Form Wizard, and there were duplicated fields, so I suppose it is possible that Acrobat automatically added them.

  • 'Space after' style not applying to text in 'preview in browser' (chrome) or export modes.

    Hi all,
    I seem to run into this issue everytime I have two paragraph style applied within one text container.
    If I include a heading and apply a paragraph style which includes 'space after' and then some text below with another style it does not appear in either 'preview in browser' (Chrome) or in the exported html. The text appears butted up against each other. Please keep in mind there are no other paragraph or character styles applied to this container.
    It works if I 'unlink style from selection'.
    However this is extremely frustrating when you have a text heavy site with multiple paragraph styles - it effectively renders paragraph styles useless and generates excessive CSS code and a very time-consuming process if I need to go back and alter the paragraph styles.
    Does anyone else experience this issue? Can anyone shed some light on this?
    I need to get this site through to my client ASAP and would rather have a professional CSS file rather than one full of work-arounds.
    Adobe, please respond ASAP.
    Kind regards,
    Adam

    For two separate paragraph styles to work in one text container in muse,
    you need to use a hard return.
    You would use Character Styles if you want to use two specific styles inside one text container
    with just a "en space" between the text.
    This is based on using Muse generated CSS and not going into the CSS files after Muse generated the code and altering to modify the look.

  • Macbook Pro Retina - Adobe Blurred Text

    Hi, I have purchased a Macbook Pro with retina display.  When I use Adobe Acrobat pro the text is blurred.  Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

    I've been reading the reviews etc, and looked at the Adobe forums, but I've not found that much main info.
    Basically from all the reviews I have read, everyone thinks it's an excellent machine, and the Retina is great. Adobe's UI in CS6 apparently looks a bit blurry, but hopefully Adobe will fix this, and it's perfectly usable anyway.
    Check out the Verge's review: http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/13/3082649/macbook-pro-review-retina-display-15-i nch
    I've decided just to go for it, and ordered a Macbook Pro Retina, 2.3ghz with the extra 16gb Ram. My usual setup at my studio at work (I'm a freelance Illustrator and animator) is hooking my current 2009 MBP to my 20" Cinema Display.
    Since I walk to work the slimmer design will be great, and if Adobe's programs are a bit dodgy on the retina display, it won't matter too much when I'm using my Cinema Display. It might make my display look old, but I'll probably upgrade that and get a 27" display in the future.
    The retina display will be a nice addition for surfing the web etc.
    Now if only Apple would release a non glassy cinema display again... Apple? : )
    I hope that helps from my point of view.

  • Copy and paste ignores track text edit preview settings?

    Hi all,
    Working with FM9 and another editor that requires me to copy and paste from FM9 into the other.
    Enable and use tracking text edits in FM9.
    Preview Final to hide the edits.
    Copy and paste a paragraph that contains edits.
    When I paste into the target text editor, the "deleted" text is also displayed.
    Any way to prevent text hidden with a condition tag (which is how the tracking changes are marked) from being copied?
    -g

    I'm pretty sure the answer is no, not in FM itself. The only way would be to create a finalized FM doc with the changes accepted prior to copy / paste.
    It would be possible with a Framescript, though -- something like this:  the user copies the text,  hits a specified function key, the script pastes the text onto a special reference page, deletes the "deleted" text, recopies the text and then it beeps so that the user can then paste into the target editor.
    More info about Framescript at http://www.framescript.com and on the user group at

  • Selecting Text from Preview

    well, actually selecting text is not the problem, it's the pasting of the selected text.
    Let me explain.
    I've got a friend who is blind. He is a music-teacher and I help him out, creating playlists in iTunes. Since he is not able to read pdf-files in Braille, I used to preview the playlist, select all text, copy and paste it in a Text-file.
    I did have this little trick of find & replace, that I used to add a Return to the end of a line, so he would get a readable list.
    Since I bought my new Mac, it did came with *Preview 5*, which works just the way Acrobat does. When I select text, it is selected in Columns, when I paste it, I get all information of column 1, followed by all information in column 2, a.s.o.
    Does anybody know a workable solution? Is it possible to install an older version of Preview (*Preview 2.1.0* worked fine) next to the newer one?

    Thank you for your response.
    Acrobat is the solution indeed. I can save the lists as pdf, open in Acrobat Reader & select the text like I used to in Preview.
    (Which, by the way is strange, it never was possible this way in Acrobat.... That's why I was so happy with the old Preview.
    Thank you again. I hope that in the future I can help somebody with the little things I know.
