Bug: PDF rendering issues

If you open a PDF that includes shadows or similar effects, you'll notice semi-transparent lines in Photoshop CS6.
If you uncheck "Anti-aliased" in the "Import PDF" window, the semi-transparent lines are gone… but vector elements with rounded corners won't look nice
This issue doesn't exist in Photoshop CS5.
Here are two Screenshots of the same PDF file.
(CS6 on the left side; CS5 on the right side)

Try the newest Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 - that comes with the newest Crystal Reports Java runtime.
If you're sticking with JRC XI Release 2, then the early versions had issues with Charts - lines were pixellated, and fractional fonts didn't work correctly.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Yosemite pdf rendering issue

Hello. I'm using a MacBook Air (11"; mid-2011) that I have just upgraded to MacOS Yosemite. I am having a new issue, and I'm trying to isolate the problem.
I use software called xfig (a figure drawing program) that produces simple line drawings. There is a program called fig2dev that converts these "fig" files to other formats such as pdf. This has worked well for many years for me, and is suddenly having issues.
In the latest version of MacOS, shaded regions no longer show up the way that I am expecting.
I've created a simple image (just a box shaded by diagonal lines) using xfig and converted to pdf.
When viewed using Acrobat it appears as expected, but Preview and other native pdf viewers don't show the shading.
So I don't know if this is an issue with pdf compliance of transfig output (I did check it with a compliance verifier,
which found some minor issues) or rather with Yosemite. The fact that a number of other issues have been
reported with Yosemite pdf handling makes me suspect the latter.
The pdf file can be accessed here: http://www.math.uvic.ca/faculty/aquas/test.pdf
So. The question: Is this a Yosemite bug?

MacBook Pro early 2011 and Yosemite.
I got issues with Preview too. I wanted to open a PDF, and it did not open properly, the result was a distorted figure full of colors. I re installed Yosemite with Apple help, and it didn't fix the issue. At the Genius Bar in the Apple Store they told me to upgrade the RAM memory, they did not fix the Preview and PDF issue.

Chrome PDF Rendering Issue

Hello all,
I've been noticing some odd behavior in Chrome when trying to render a PDF I've exported from InDesign; attached is a screenshot of the symptom, and if you take the following link, you can also see it firsthand (though occasionally it will render fine; best to try and click the URL multiple times if the symptom isn't observable rather than refresh, as refreshing will make it work correctly every time).
http://guide.cs50.net/guide-10.pdf
Are there any particular export options I should turn on to make this issue go away, or something else I can do from within InDesign? Help is greatly appreciated!
Best,
Colton

Performance Issues DPS - Single Edition - PDF Rendering, Multi-State Text

Hello,
Please advise on the above issue...
On a retina display ipad, I'm having issues with multi-state objects that contain text. The column on the left is crisp text, non multi-state object. However when I place the text in a multi state object (right) it's not rendering in high resolution. A bit pixelated.
Single Issue - Creative Cloud License
iPad Gen III Retina Original Version
My application is compiled using app version: v24
Also I experience performance issues using PDF mode... when you change a page everything is super grainy, and then ~2 Seconds later it renders crisp. It used to be prerendered, or much faster. Perhaps I was using PNG? I switched to PDF mode as recommended in countless articles. Is the slow render just a side affect of PDF? Anything I can do to optimize? Recommendations?
Thanks so much!
Richie

Thank You, Bob!
Vector fixed it! I only have to change it on 29872498329 pages
One thing I just realized is, that I have the same issue with buttons. I have a button with Normal, and Click states. It has the same rendering issue (grainy) and I couldn't find a place to make the button render 'vector'.

Is that a webkit rendering issue in Safari 5.1?

I add my voice to rendering issues encountered in Safari 5.1, here they are:
1) Fonts look pixelated on some websites. Here's an example drawn from weebly.
The font used here is OFL Sorts Mill Goudy, so I guess there must be a font rendering engine in weebly that allows non web safe fonts to be displayed properly. That works fine in Firefox 5 & 6, and until recently on Safari 5. Chrome 12 has exactly the same issue as Safari 5.1, so it could be a general rendering issue in webkit.
2) Videos on Vimeo show now a black rectangle instead of the video.
3) The "Insert image" feature in this forum takes forever to load, displaying a white rectangle during several seconds. Same issue with the Evernote clip bookmarklet.
Hope these issues will be fixed soon, any help is appreciated if something can be changed in Safari settings.
Note: resetting Safari (including cleaning cache) doesn't solve the described problems. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on Mac Pro Quad 2.8 Ghz.

Thanks for helping diagnose this.
However, my testing indicates that this is not a bug with border-collapse: collapse. Here is why:
If I change the value of border-collapse to "separate" and add "border-spacing: 0", the bug remains. To try this, request http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug2.cgi .
If I leave the value of border-collapse unchanged but change the button elements in the cells to plain text, the bug disappears. To try this, request http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug1.cgi .
On the basis of this testing, it would seem to me that the bug is dependent on the button elements and independent of the border-collapse CSS attribute.
This doesn't explain, however, why you have found border-collapse: collapse producing slow results with other large tables and it doesn't do so with my table in http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug1.cgi . It also doesn't explain why you saw the bug disappear when you changed border-collapse on my page but I didn't see it disappear.
Any further diagnostic help would be welcome.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro Ver. 10.1.7 rendering issues

Hello
I have rendering issues with Acrobat X Pro Ver 10.1.7.
When I zoom in to 100% and use the hand tool to move the image around, it moves about 1 inch then it freezes for 3-4 seconds, then I can move it again. This happens at all zoom %, but it gets worse as I zoom in further.
This gets even worse if I add text callouts and text boxes.
Windows reports the size of the .pdf document at about 700 Kilobytes.
I played with the Preferences - 3D & Multimedia - Rendeiring settings, etc. to no avail.
I have 64 bit Windows 7 Enterprise on a DELL Precision M4500-I 1.6GHZ CORE I7 QUAD CORE laptop with 8 GB of RAM and a NVIDIA QUADRO FX 1800M with 1 GB of RAM. I also played with the NVIDIA Control Panel settings to no avail.
This gets very anoying, I need to get work done on these .pdf files and this issue slows me down, and irritates the hell out of me.
I thought my laptop is underpowered, but at this point I tend to believe it is an Acrobat issue.
Please, any input appreciated.
Thanks

PDF-Rendering is very slow

Hi,
on our local test-environment with CF 8.01 we have no problem to create a pdf with cfdocument-tag.
<cfdocument format="pdf"
 encryption = "128-bit"
 permissions="AllowCopy,AllowPrinting"
 unit="cm"
 scale="100"
 backgroundVisible="yes"
 marginleft="1"
 marginright="1"
 filename="#url.pk_id#.pdf"
 pageType="A4">
 <cfdocumentitem type="header">
 ... content of the pdf
</cfdocument>
but our productive-server (the same CF-version as the local testserver) is working very slow, and when I say slow I mean minutes not a view seconds more.
I have no idea where this discrepance is comming from, especially as we could observe the pdf-rendering on fusion-reactor witch makes it rather improbable that - as we first thought - our firewall is slowing down the process.
does anyone out there has an idea where the problem could be located or had someone in this forum experienced a simular pdf-pitfall?
thanks for yout efforts.

Hi Guys I work with a lot of pdf files with being a student at uni and not sure these tips might help.
Try an app called skim which is free it handles pdfs nicely and looks similar to the preview app.
Also if a pdf is slow to scroll try selecting all the pages goto file print. Then on the bottom left hand side of the print window select pdf and then save as pdf. I have found on some pdfs (usually the ones in black and white and look like a photo copy) using the the print save as pdf option has then allowed me to view a pdf fine in the preview app without any issues. Hope this is useful.
I suspect its to do with pixels per inch or dots per inch of the document.

10.6.7 - general pdf creation issues?

I wondered whether anyone else had run into this issue after updating to 10.6.7 when using pdfs created by Preview - perhaps related to the pdf/font issue.
If it is generally happening, then the 10.6.7 pdf-font issue has an even larger
impact than previously described:
1. Open a pdf document in Preview
2. Select a region and save to clipboard
3. Save as a new pdf file
4. Then try importing it as a "Picture" into any of the new Office 2011 apps: Word, PPT, etc.
This crashes my office 2011 apps (latest version, 14.02) But NOT any earlier version of Office (2008. etc.), which may not do as much pdf checking.
Before the 10.6.7 upgrade (ie, 10.6.6), this never happened with Office 2011.
Acrobat complains when opening the Preview-created pdfs about 'missing fonts', so I suspect some sort of pdf creation issue.
Any fixes (besides the previously suggested one of downgrading to 10.6.6)
If it's a real bug (not just local to my system), then it's a more far-reaching one than previously described.

So, 3 different Apple tech support people say they know this problem affects
"multiple applications, including any that deal with pdf files" but that "no fix is
currently in the works"
That is wrong because it only involves OpenType Postscript fonts.
The only solution offered so far is to "downgrade by doing Archive & Install" and
then re-applying each Combo Upgrade, starting with 10.6.3 up to 10.6.6.
You wouldn't have to do that either. That is the point of a Combo update. You only need to apply the one you want. It includes all of the previous updates.

Bug in rendering HTML content Apex 2.2 (in Apex 2.0 was OK)

We have many PLSQL processes which are called through boolean function which return some message as well as the result.
 
function some_func (pid IN NUMBER,err_msg OUT NOCOPY VARCHAR2) RETURN BOOLEAN; 
and at the end function looks like:
 
:err_msg := 'Pitanje <*b>'||TO_CHAR(p_id)||'<*/b> je OK!';
RETURN TRUE; 
Later, in "On load before header", we call this function and assign "err_msg" value to hidden item "P2_MESSAGE", placed on the same page. Assigment is done in an way like:
 
some_bool:=some_func (:P2_ID,:P2_MESSAGE); 
In one HTML reagion, we put in "Source", code like:
 
<*class="t16dataalt">&P2_MESSAGE.</class> 
and until now, bold tags are applied as well as class-we get only text!
 
But now, in Apex 2.2, (original theme 16 used) in result we get all content as it is not recognized as HTML code.
 
In browser the result(in a case of OK result) is:
 
Pitanje <*b>1<*/b> je OK! 
and the generated source is:
 
<*class="*t16dataalt">Pitanje &*lt;*b&*gt;1&*lt;/b&*gt; je OK!</*class="*t16dataalt"> 
Is that a bug or what?
 
Once more, before the same code was working nice, theme 2 used...
 
THX!
 
P.S
 
"*" is added to be read clearly!
 
P.S II
 
We have imported app that was exported on Apex 2.0 and the same problem occure!
 
So we think this is a bug in rendering HTML region!
 
Is there any hint to overcome that until patch come ?

Funky

The issue is easy to reproduce. Create HTML region:
User Interface Template-Reports Region
Display point-Page template body
Assign one hiden item in on load process with value:
P2_MESSAGE := "OK</ b<>";
Put P2_MESSAGE in HTML Source with content like this:
< class="t16dataalt">&P2_MESSAGE.</ class>
and you have it!

Preview PDF Rendering

When viewing PDFs (created from InDesign) in Preview (or Quicklook), oftentimes they don't render as they should if transparencies or other blending modes are used.
Any clues how to fix this (if possible)? Or MUST I always use Acrobat to view PDFs (which takes longer to open).
Thanks.
-Aaron

I have the same problem when saving Illustrator files as PDF.
The PDF renderer in Snow Leopard has trouble with the way Adobe compresses bitmaps inside the PDF. Leopard works fine on the same files, and Acrobat of course.
A solution is -- in the Adobe PDF settings dialog -- to compress the contained bitmaps using ZIP and not JPEG.
This is an annoying bug, which Apple and Adobe should resolve quickly.

Font rendering issue & multimedia keys not working

Hi, yesterday i switched to KDEmod 4.1 and I have two major problems...
One is font rendering issue... I did not change anything in my font-related packages (cairo, freetype, fontconfig, libxft) and i have to add that this setup worked perfectly in KDEmod 3.5.9, but now it looks like this:
This bug occurs only in qt apps and mostly in kmenu... i.e firefox renders my fonts flawlessly...
Second problem are multimedia keys on my keyboard...
They worked in KDE 3.5.9, but now I cannot set them up properly... Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't...
KDE recognizes the pressed key, but when I assign specific action and press the key, just nothing happens...

You might be able to solve your font issue by going to System Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts. I enable ant-aliasing. I also clicked on configure and select "Use sub-pixel rendering" to RGB and the hinting style to Full. I also use the Force fonts DPI to 96 DPI. This makes the fonts pleasing to my eyes.
This is how I got my multimedia keys to work in KDE4.1:
Go to System Settings -> Regional and Language and make sure to set the County or region to your location.
khotkeys needs to be running. I added it to the autostarted progam list. System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Autostart
When I got the multimedia keys working, I was really tring to get the keyboard shortcuts to work. In addition to the above steps, I also deleted
~/.kde4/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc. I do not know if deleting this file is needed to get the multimedia keys working, but it was to get the keyboard shortcuts woring.
Restart X
Go to System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts
I set the volume control in the KMix component section.
To get the keyboard shortcuts to work, go to the menu editor and select the program you want to create a shortcuts for. Click on the advanced tab and create the shortcut in the shortcut field. Save.
Then go to System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Change the component to KHotkeys. Select the Program and then select the default shortcut that you just created. (This works for the multimedia keys aswell).
Hope this helps,
pudge

HT6065 Adobe Reader blocks PDF rendering in Safari

Adobe Reader [plugin] blocks PDF rendering in Safari. Error Message tells user to start Adobe Reader and accept the EULA, then restart Safari.
MBP 15.4" Mid 2012 Retina 8GB DDR3 1600 Mhz Ram Running 10.9.1 (build 13842). I have AR installed--not sure where the EULA is... Help is no help...
Seems to happen with some sites that use web forms.
Any ideas?

Forgot to add--PDF forms from websites pull up fine in FireFox 27.0.1 and Chrome 32.0.1700.77. So, it appears to be a Safari issue... Or perhaps an issue with a plug-in or extension...?

OS X web rendering issue

Hi,
I'm trying to track down a rendering issue in all browsers on osx where white text on a dark background causes the text to go very bold and cannot be lightened, I can only find a couple other examples of this on the internet and no solutions.
Would a couple of you guys mind taking a screenshot of this site and posting it up or emailing it to me at dave [at] dave-bond [dot] com.
http://goldtree.dave-bond.com/#page-1
Thanks
Dave

In the wrong image(OSX) the font is much bolder, would you mind taking a screenshot of the site (http://goldtree.dave-bond.com/#page-1) in your browser and sending it to me, this seems like a big bug for apple to have overlooked so I'm wondering if its my clients machines.

Crystal JRC PDF Export Issue

We are experiencing a PDF export issue with Crystal JRC version 12.2.202. The PDF report shows 1 of 3 pages but ONLY the first page is generated. When this occurs, ALL other users that are exporting to PDF experience the same issue with any multiple page report. I can't find any errors in the log that would indicate what the problem is. To resolve the issue, I have to recycle the WebLogic application server that hosts the JRC, which would indicate something gets "locked" in memory and gets cleared when the app server is bounced.
Any ideas on how to resolve this ?

Hi Ted,
Thanks for the response!
Though, the mentioned Sun JVM Bug explains the root-cause, the Bug status also state that it is not fixed yet.
Also, we are reluctant to change the JVM Option to -Xint due to unknown impacts on JVM optimizations.
Is there a patch released for CrystalReports to deal with this behavior? We are using CRJ runtime 11.5.7.620 and seeking for a patch on this version.
Thanks.
