Bug Report: URLs in PDF footnotes cause problems in Preview

Hi,
I am using MacBook Air with Mavericks. I found a very annoying bug in Mavericks Preview: when there is a single URL in footnotes and the page has only one footnote, the whole page is "clickable" and links to the URL.
Sample document: (Try left part in page 4)
http://hazy.cs.wisc.edu/hazy/papers/acl2012.pdf
When I put my mouse not over the URL, but over any part in the left part of this document, the content becomes clickable. This is really annoying since it simply prevent me from selecting the contents.
Please do fix this ÅSAP! This simply makes reading in Preview much harder!!
Thanks.

Open Preview's Preferences (in the Preview menu), go to the PDF tab. Check the settings on that page, specifically in the Viewing section, "Smooth" - if it's not checkmarked, try doing that.
When I tested a PDF just now, unchecking that item made the text go wonky like your sample on the left above.

PDF Software causing problems in sending some PDF files but not all?

I have been having problems sending some emails with PDF attatchments, they are being returned more and more frequently. I've spoken to our server host and his answer is as follows saying that the problem is we are using "cheap PDF software" which is why I can send PDF's via Gmail or Yahoo but not through our server. He suggest we buy a more expensive software or using Gmail for our important bids and invoices that are sent daily.
My question is: Is this even close to what could be causing the problem. We are using Adobe to create our PDF's using our HP CM1410 or the Neat Scanner. The Neat is a new device but the problem was ongoing before the Neat Scanner was added.
Our IT person who set our network, hardware and software says it's the server and he's never heard of this being an Adobe problem. So we're stuck not knowing who to believe

There are several potential problems. It could be that your e-mail client is not encoding the PDF properly, but looking at it as an ASCII file (7-bit characters). The encoding is not as much of a problem anymore, but still a potential issue. The structure of the PDF that you are getting from the scanner may be corrupt. You can use some of the preflight scripts to check the integrity of the PDF. You might even try saving as a new PDF to see if the 2 versions work differently.
It might be better to print the proposals you mentioned to the Adobe PDF printer and get better quality proposals than you would get with a scan. That would also probably avoid the problem you are having.

Bug report: "convert to pdf" from explorer on set of .psd files prints documents on physical printer

I've recorded a tiny screen video to show this bug:
Please note,that printer window error 6000 is as expected (since I don't actually need to print this stuff).

I have a little speculation about this. Maybe...
I speculate that Acrobat will offer "convert to Adobe PDF" for any file where it finds a "print" verb available in the Windows shell. Acrobat assumes it can to a ShellExecute printto Adobe PDF. (It works for files you can drag to a specific nondefault printer in the printers control panel).
So, Acrobat doesn't understand PSD files and Photoshop doesn't know anything about Acrobat (though it can of course save as PDF, no connection to this). But because Photoshop offers a service to Windows, and Acrobat tries to use that service unsuccessfully, we end up with this mess.
So, Acrobat may offer conversion for whole classes of file which are quite surprising; and it won't always work (generally for a whole class of file).
End of speculation.

Sending a bug report on the OS and a sleep mode problem.

I find the bug button in Safari really convenient for sending Apple bug reports. And when other applications crash, you usually get an error dialog with a button to send a bug report. But sometimes problems arise that require reporting, but which don't fall in either of these categories. It would be very handy to have a bug "button" for the OS, or perhaps just a menu selection in the Finder menu bar that invokes a bug report dialog box. I know you can dig around and find the URL for Apple's bug report web page, but I am always forgetting it -- I suppose I could just bookmark it, but then I'd just have to dig around in all the bookmarks to find it. Better would be a utility built-in to the OS for sending bug reports (like Safari's). It could also automatically transfer necessary info about the OS rev and such.
The problem I had was this. I have a script that puts my iMac to sleep. I put the script alias on the task bar and a single click puts the computer to sleep (easier than using the menu). Unfortunately, I sometimes click it by mistake when I am trying to click an adjacent icon in the task bar, and the Mac starts going through its cycle to enter sleep mode and is impervious to anything I do to try and cancel it. I tried pressing the space bar continuously to prevent it from going to sleep, but that did not work. Worse, when it went to sleep and I woke it up again, the task bar would not appear, clicking on app windows did not activate them, Finder menus could not be selected, etc. The cursor would move, but I could not do anything else. (I wish now I had noted if the clock in the menu bar was still advancing, but I didn't think to do that.) I powered down the iMac from the power key and rebooted. Things are working fine now.
I wanted to send a bug report on this, but realized that unlike Safari, there was no button or menu selection for doing that. So here I am.
Any suggestions are welcome.
TIA,
Drake

What is wrong with the setup,when a breakpoint would cause a traceback and panic on the target?

One other possibility is having sufficient rights, especially if you are invoking it via some other app, rather than manually as a logged in user. If you are not logged in and instead invoke it via a web site action, I believe you will have problems reading the registry, accessing a desktop, writing to disk, etc.
Sorry I can't be more definitive, but perhaps it will help.
Please post your conclusion, if you find it.

Bug report: Energy Manager causes slow performance...

Very slow Windows Startup..
Energy Manager's plans and the problem occured using any plan as I remember, and it wasn't an issue with the maximum processor state. I had heavy disk usage, especially access to the Page File, which is what the person in the second link I posted also described. CPU usage was low. The disk usage was seemingly not related to Energy Manager (Chrome was usually the worst), but removing Energy Manager completely resolved the problem. If you would find it helpful. I'm quite confident that even with Maximum Processor state at %100, CPU usage was low when it was slow, and that disk access was the culprit.
previously have use 1.0.0.31 or 32 not sure.
Windows 8.1
Im using Lenovo Energy Management Driver
1.0.0.28
4.6.2014

I actually have the same problem. Sorry to work on a old thread, but...
I've got my Lenovo B50-70 less than 1 month ago, and had switched it to SSD and had set everything up and is working perfectly. However there are a bunch of lenovo programs that came pre-installed. This computer is used mainly for work and I really don't like programs that suddenly pop-up and ask you to do stuff, as it is quite distracting, and with Lenovo Energy Manager being one of them so I removed it. (I did do some research before I remove...)
Everything was fine, until when I try to switch on my wifi (I usually have it off, as I use LAN most of the time)... For the B50-70 there is a airplane button on F7, which allow the user to switch wifi and bluetooth on/off. That button was unresponsive... After some digging it is actually related to the power energy manager being removed. So I've downloaded the latest version from Lenovo and it was working again...
However though, whenever I start my computer it is taking so long to start... And I tried uninstalling the power energy manager and it solved the problem... And I am stuck with either having no wifi on/off ability or a really slow boot, which loses the whole purpose of the SSD. After you enter your username and password it originally takes around 5~10 seconds to login, now it takes over 1 minute.
I have found this other link, which says Lenovo Power Manager having the same problem.
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technologies/Bug-report-Power-Manager-causes-slow-performa...
There is a solution, which you can change the registry to switch a function off. I've tried it and it didn't work, which is not surprising as it's a different program.. But I am hoping that Lenovo can provide a similar solution for Lenovo Energy Manager...

Blur Problems (bug report submitted)

I've submitted a bug report and will submit this again since its a better version of when I sent them before. The problem is this:
- Adobe Acrobat Professional shows blur in certain situations. In another situation, the same file opens correctly. The file below is self-explanatory, i.e.:
1. This is what you see when you do a fresh start, with no pre-existing Adobe processes running. Sometimes though the blur will show up even if its a fresh start.
2. Thats what you see when the file has been closed but Acrobat Professional is still running and open.
If anyone needs the original PDF, it can be downloaded at:
http://www.2shared.com/document/P927Y4Vm/scanned-doc-2.html
In area 1, you can see the glaring difference in visual quality. The blur makes it very hard and irritating to read the PDF. Notice how the blur alternates. Some areas are sharp while others are soft. Area 2 is how it should always look like (crisp).
If you cant see this image properly, it is uploaded at:
http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/4113/adobeacrobatproblurbug.jpg
Adobe Acrobat Professional version, latest: 9.3.4
System: Windows XP
BUG: Adobe Acrobat Professional shows blurry PDFs in certain situations.
===
STEPS TO RECREATE THE BUG:
Use Windows XP. I'm not sure if this shows up in Vista too. I'm sure it does.
1. Download the PDF from:
http://www.2shared.com/document/P927Y4Vm/scanned-doc-2.html
2. In the Windows Task Manager, make sure there are no pre-existing Adobe processes running such as:
AcrobatInfo.exe, Acrobat.exe, Acrotray.exe
3. Open the PDF file you got in #1. Set zoom to 100%.
4. Notice the visual quality. You will probably see blurry areas in the PDF. This matches Area 1 in this screen shot:
http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/4113/adobeacrobatproblurbug.jpg
5. Close the file by doing: File---> Close
Do not exit the program. Go to Task Manager and verify that Acrobat.exe is already running.
6. Open the file you got in #1, again. Zoom to 100% again.
7. Notice now that the PDF does not have any blurry areas. What you see should match Area 2 in the same screenshot:
http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/4113/adobeacrobatproblurbug.jpg

The choices in Bridge > Preferences > Advanced > International > Keyboard are limited, and they do not allow for choosing custom keyboard layouts.
I need the custom keyboard layouts for a variety of reasons, such as being able to type in seven languages with my most used one without switching, two Russian layouts to allow for two non-standard ways of encoding Russian fonts, etc.

Bug Report: Probable Cause of Stuttering in iTunes v7.0.2.16 -- Crossfade

Has anyone ever tried to send a bug report into Apple? I've looked all over and can't find anything that would let me send in a bug report.
I think I have tracked down one of the issues with stuttering in iTunes v7.0.2.16 Its in the crossfading in the play back options. If I disable crossfading, gone is the stuttering and cpu hogging at the start of a track. The length of the stuttering, how far it goes into the next track, is the length of the crossfade. Also, has anybody else noticed that with the stuttering comes a maxing out of the CPU? While typing this my computer will go unresponsive when iTunes starts a new track and stutters and I can watch the CPU Usage History spike during the attempted crossfade.
I hope that Apple finds this and it is a help in fixing the issue as I really do like iTunes. And if anyone knows how to send this on to Apple as a proper bug report, just post a comment letting me know and I will do it.
And lastly, any comments showing the reproduction of this evidence would probably be helpful to Apple in resolving this issue.

Okay Chris...
I've double and triple checked all of the bullet points in your troublshooter document, and all is in good order.
I found that my Direct X was out of date, and got excited when I upgraded it and started playing tunes. For about 5 or six tracks, there was not any skipping during the crossfade, but alas, the problem is still there, and still garbles the tunes at the very end and release of the crossfade.
Not ALL tunes, just a certain intermitant few.
FYI, this bug was never an issue until v7.0 was released. Crossfading in previous versions was not a problem, until now. So there must have been something that has changed, from the previous to this release, and my assumption is the gapless playback. Just a guess, as it is new.
Any other thoughts as to the cause? And beter yet... the solution?
I sincerely would like to keep using iTunes as my default music player...

Crystal Report generate PDF with J2EE problem

Dear All
I am having a great problem on generating PDF file by Crystal Report in J2EE.
I have my J2EE application runs Crystal Report to generate PDF files.
However for a report, i hit the following error (red color) when the PDF is generating.
But is no problem for the other reports.
Here is the code that i used to generate the PDF
My OS and Java version as follows

Hi,
I have tried this code but stil the same.
However i tried setup another tomcat and application in the other machine and the only job for the application is exporting the report that has problem, then the error is gone.
So i guess that is the memory size problem.
Thanks for this
One more question about the memory size between Tomcat and Crystal report.
I have set in catalina.bat as
set JAVA_OPTS = "-Xms2048M -Xmx1024M"
and CRConfig as
<JVMMaxHeap>1024000000</JVMMaxHeap>
<JVMMinHeap>512000000</JVMMinHeap>
1. Is that the correct setting.?
2. The memory in the JAVA_OPT and is the MAX and MIN memory that java would use,
    then is the Max memory in CRConf is 1024M out of the java heap size or the application use another 1024 memory

Bug Report - Windows 8.0 - 6.0.1 USB arbitration causes USB keyboard driver failure

Can't find a place to submit a bug report. So here goes.
Full Error Message:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory.
Problem Occurs:
Windows 8.0 x64
Vmware Player 6.0.1 build-1379776
Problem:
A USB keyboard ceases to function on the host operating system following the first host OS reboot after installing 6.0.1 on Windows 8.0. This issue does not occur with 6.0.0. The issue disappears upon uninstalling Player 6.0.1. Reinstallation allows Player to operate as expected, but issue re-appears after host OS reboot.
The issue happens immediately after host OS loads, and continues irrespective of whether VMWare Player is launched.
Looking at the keyboard drivers, the usb keyboard's driver has not loaded (see attached images). The built-in keyboard driver however reports no errors and continues to operate as usual.
Changing the USB keyboard device to that of a different manufacturer does not resolve the issue. Any USB keyboard driver appears to fail.
Work Around:
1) Launch msconfig
2) Disable VMWare USB arbitration service
3) Reboot
4) USB Keyboard works. VMWare Player continues to operate as normal, minus the ability to mount USB storage devices on the guest OS.

This issue was fixed on my PC as follows.
1) Taking ownership of the above usb*.sys files in the drivers folder
2) renaming them to usb*.sysold
3) Using Device Manager to uninstall all USB devices with the yellow warning ! next to them
4) Doing a Scan for Hardware changes via the Device Manager toolbar and then waiting a few moments whilst the USB devices are re-installed with signed drivers.
Hope this helps you....

Hide URL in PDF output in hyperlink , Maintain History within reports

hi
i have some issues to discuss for report output in pdf format.
we are using java application to call reports via AS 10g, my issue are
1) Hide URL in PDF output for hyperlink created.(Using username/password in Key is not enough)
2) Maintain history as i call second report from my parent report then i want to go back to parent report.(Note here go.history or history.go(-1) work in HTML output format but not in PDF)
3)To Call Child PDF report in new window(here again working fine target="_blank" for HTML output but not for PDF)
regards
abid

Hi Ram,
Not sure if this is possible.
However, one workaround might be the following:
1. Write a javascript that submits the URL using, say a POST method, and does not show the parameters in the URL. You will have to write this javascript code in the "Before Report" Report Escape. For a generic example on how to use javascript in a report, see Metalink Note 125652.1. This note shows javascript to disable the right-click of the mouse on the report output.
2. Use the Hyperlink peroperty of the report to call this javascript function, eg,
javascript:myfunction('http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet?report=...+server=...+empno=&empno')
I am not a javascript expert, so I cannot give you an example of the function, but I hope someone in your team can find out.

Acrobat X Scanning Cancelled Problem / WORKAROUND / BUG REPORT

As you have read in other threads, Acrobat X on Windows has a serious scanning problem with HP and possibly other scanners.
Whereas in Acrobat 9 scanning worked reasonably well, Acrobat X seems to be unable to cope with scanning documents from the flat bed of a multifunction scanner.
So, if you are scanning from the feeder, scanning works, but if you are scanning from the flatbed, you will get a brief pause and the phrase SCANNING CANCELLED.
This is, of course, not acceptable.
The problem is that Acrobat X does not play nicely with the scanner drivers. Previously, Acrobat 9 would "auto-detect" the source of a document, using the feeder if loaded, and "falling back" to the flatbed otherwise. However, Acrobat X does not fall back. If there is nothing loaded in the document feeder, the scan will be cancelled by Acrobat X.
The workaround - and I would NOT call this a "solution" - is to use only the "Custom Scan" command from Acrobat X. When the window pops up, choose the "Options" button and select "Native Mode" and "Show Scanner's Native Interface" from the two menus. (Acrobat X does seem to remember these settings at least within a session, so if you're scanning multiple documents you only need to do this once.) Then scan.
You will see a new window pop up - the scanner's "native interface." On my computer, this window shows up BEHIND the Acrobat X screen (annoyingly) so you have to watch for it and click forward. Be sure to select "flat bed" from the "document source" menu. On my computer, this setting is NOT remembered between scans, so you have to do this for EVERY SCAN. Then, the document will scan, and you can do what you want with it in Acrobat X.
Needless to say, this is a long, painful, slow process, especially if you're scanning lots of flatbed items, as I do. Hence it's a "workaround" and NOT a "solution".
The SOLUTION will be for Adobe to FIX this. ADOBE: THIS IS A BUG REPORT. PLEASE LOG THIS IN AND FIX IT. Acrobat 9 with CS5 worked perfectly, as did Acrobat 8 before it. Moving to CS5.5 with Acrobat X broke this. Sloppy. Please fix! Thank you!

I used your workaround (thank you!) but it was very annoying. Although I set up the options for a single multi-page document, Adobe gave me separate files and I had to consolidate them. I also had to fill out the options (color, flatbed vs feeder) for each page. This function was working for me at some point, so I don't know what happened to make my HP Multifunction and Adobe part ways. I hope Adobe comes up with a successful patch for this problem.

Font problem in reports produced in PDF format

Dear all,
All our reports are developed by developer suite 10g (under windows) and deployed on an Application Server 10g (on Linux).
We had a problem with displaying the arabic letters, but this was solved by following the steps in the metalink Note no 726205.1 for generating arabic pdf reports on unix.
Now, the problem is that the font used in the reports is ARIAL, but when the reports are displayed (in PDF format) the font is TAHOMA. This font conversion happens in both Arabic and English reports !
I wonder how can I correct this behaviour.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Steve,
I remember that fonts in PDF generated by Oracle Reports is a big topic and a subject of many Metalink notes (metalink.oracle.com).
Note.210318.1 Ext/Pub How To use font embedding in Reports 9i for PDF output
Note.207711.1 Ext/Pub How to Use Font Subsetting in Reports 9i for PDF Output
Note 232975.1 "Windows/Unix Font Issues: What Information is Required to address the Issue and How to Work Around Issue"
Especially on Unix and Linux systems, there are some font mapping required. I suggest to run this question on the Reports forum here on OTN where I think you have better chances for an answer.

Bug report: on LabVIEW 2011 SP1 and Windows 8 'Open URL in default browser.vi'

Dear colleagues,
Here is a bug report.
Culprit: 'Open URL in default browser.vi'.
System: Windows 8, Professional. LabVIEW 2011 SP1.
Abnormal behaviour and steps to reproduce:
Above mentioned VI doesn't work when LabVIEW was started with administrator privilegies. And it works as expected when LabVIEW running in normal (non-administrator) mode.
Looking forward to see this fixed.
Best regards,
Igor Titov.
CLD.

Hi Igor,
Unfortunately LabVIEW 2011 SP1 does not support Windows 8. I tested this behavior with LabVIEW 2012 SP1 on Windows 8 and everything worked correctly.
