Buttons created in InDesign don't display properly in Acrobat DC

I am having issues with how buttons created in InDesign CC (2014) and exported to interactive PDF display in Acrobat DC. These buttons use transparent layers and effects such as drop shadow. The buttons displayed great in Acrobat XI.
Acrobat XI:
Acrobat DC:
The buttons used a transparent white layer to simulate glare. As you can see, it comes out black in DC! The drop shadow has added white coloring knocking the buttons out from the background instead of blending nicely. I can avoid using these styling methods in future projects, but this project has used these buttons for several years, and now several years worth of PDFs won't display correctly for anyone who updates to DC!

I am also having problems.  Upgraded to Acrobat DC.  I use a Mac (latest software)
When I export from InDesign CC to Acrobat DC the interactive elements - especially buttons - go cranky.  I get a strange smudgy kind of drop shadow but in a variety of colours behind the arrows, buttons etc.  All very strange.  It gets worse if I apply a drop shadow and bevel and emboss to the button (even a home made button rather than one of the sample buttons).
I'm currently working away from home and so can't try any other computer.
Strange.

  • Why some fonts don't display properly

    I use Windows 7, Pagemake 7 (with update 7.01)
    Some fonts don't display properly in pagemaker file. Sometimes they look blank; sometimes display in part and the rest as blank. In fit-in Window view, sometimes a page displays properly, and next page is blank, go back to the previous page, it also turns blank. Some times letters look garbled. Display varies as and when the view size is changed.Example for the fonts - Souvenir LtBt . What could be the problem and what is the solution ?

    Pagemaker is old software, it was designed for use when fonts were quite limited. It will only display the first 256 characters in a font.  Modern fonts have moved way beyond this limitation. The solution is to stick with older fonts, or to upgrade to indesign. It does sound like your souvenir font  could be corrupted, running font management software is a good practice no matter what program you use.

    What Mac model do you have? You might be able to upgrade the OS to Tiger 10.4 or Leopard 10.5.
    Even browsers for Tiger 10.4 will get the update message.
    You could try a newer browser than Safari, which is obsolete, by downloading Firefox v2.0.0.20 at http://www.oldapps.com/mac/firefox.php

  • Album frames don't display properly: Since .MAC converted to MobileME help?

    ORIGINAL MESSAGE POSTED TO APPLE SUPPORT
    Ever since .MAC was recently down - and converted to Mobile Me - I have been having problems with my iWEB site:
    1. Frames around Photo Albums no longer display (on mac or win web browsers)
    - On Windows Computers - The Frames do not Display at all
    - On Mac (Safari or Firefox) they all look like see thru WIRE frames
    2. iWEB text box frames (that were once hidden) now seem to Display and
    they display in weir positions over and under other boxes.
    3. Safari Web Browser now ask to load certain fonts!
    4. Browsing my iWEB site is VERY VERY VERY SLOW!
    - From home
    - From work
    - over at friends
    In other words the speed of a persons internet connection does not seem to
    make any difference. It was all beautiful and fine before the transition, and now
    its slow.
    I have not done an upload to .MAC from iWEB for several months - so I don't believe it is anything I have done.
    My iWEB site is our FAMILY TREE site - so family members have been calling and telling me of the problems and the slowness over the past week.
    PS: I like the extra 10GB of storage, and the new Mobile ME features seem cool --BUT I MUST GET our family iWEB site running smooth once again.
    I have just recently upgraded to Leopard and for the most part everything is running fine - but as stated - I have NOT performed an iWEB upload using Leopard - the last was two months ago under Tiger.
    MacBookPro Intel Core Duo
    2.16GHz processor
    2GB RAM
    120GB Harddisk
    Mac OS X 10.5.4 (Jaguar - just installed July 7)
    Second posting to Support
    Hello,
    Ever since the transition - I'm still having the following problems with anyone trying to view my iWEB site (uploaded over 2 months ago before the Mobile ME transition).
    (of note: I performed the MobileME system update yesterday and that did nothing)
    1. Website redraw is VERY SLOW
    2. Text Box FRAMES are now Visible - when they were not before!
    3. Viewing my WEBSITE that I built using iWEB - the FRAMES applied to Photo and Movie Albums do not display properly as they did prior to the Apple mobile Me conversion. (see attached screenshot).
    As stated I have not done an iWEB upload for over two months - and everything was working fine until this Mobile me conversion. Now when viewing on Mac or Windows all of my Photo Album frames display improperly (they look like see through wireframes) when viewing in Safari or MS Explorer. NOTE: The albums will NOT display at all using FIREFOX.

    Since I recieved no responses I assume no one knows. Thanks anyway.

  • Adobe Reader Shortcut Icons don't display properly

    Uninstalled and reinstalled latest version. Recently used program list on XP Home S3 Start Menu doesn't display Adobe logo and neither does Adobe Reader 9 shortcut on All Programs. PDF shortcuts display properly.
    Tried to search knowledge base and found no relevant articles. I can't believe you have to buy support for Adobe products.
    Thanks

    You can use Properties | Change Icon to adjust the icons on shortcuts.  Unfortunately this has to be done on each shortcut itself; it will not adjust all of them automatically.

  • Altered graphics don't display properly

    I am running Lookout 6.2 on a small panel pc.
    I am using custom graphics which up to now display properly. I needed to make a couple of changes to the graphic, which was done on another computer then the exiting graphic was replaced with the new one, using the same name.
    Lookout displays the graphic but with messed up colour (greens are reduced to shades of grey) and the image is fuzzy. Untouched graphics remain ok
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks Ryan
    The resolution and colour were all correct, so I had the graphic re-drafted and this time it worked.
    Yet another mystery

  • Sun Java Console & Applets don't display properly on JRE 1.5.0_05

    Duplicate Post as it was equally relavant to this forum: [http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=666689&tstart=0 ]
    Hi,
    We have a signed applet based application hosted on weblogic server. We are trying to launch the application on IE 6.0, JRE 1.5.0_05.
    When we try to see the Sun Java Console from IE's Tools Menu bar, we don't see any text in the window and also the side bars & buttons ("clear", 'copy", "close") are not rendered properly. Now if we, try to bring the focus to text area of Sun Java Console, and try to select all (Ctrl+A), we only see some text selected, but not what it is. Now if we copy the text onto the notepad, we can see the text.
    Next, when we try to launch the signed applet based application, we get the security warning, where only we can see the dialogue box and not the text or buttons. By randomly clicking on this security dialogue, if we hit on yes, the Applet based application is launched. The UI is totally off color; either you see some widgets on application partially or totally blackened or in different colors. Application basically looks to be in chaos.
    This behavior is not observed in any of the previous JRE versions, i.e. JRE 1.5.0_04 or any previous versions. Interesting part is after uninstalling JRE 1.5.0_05, if we install 1.5.0_04; problem persists, but not in JRE 1.4.
    We have observed the same behavior on number of machines. Is it a known issue? What�s the reason & solution?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Vinayak

    When we try to see the Sun Java Console from IE's
    Tools Menu bar, we don't see any text in the window
    and also the side bars & buttons ("clear", 'copy",
    "close") are not rendered properly. I suspect you're running into graphics issues. Perhaps java5 is trying to optimize too much, and you have older or buggy Windows drivers.
    Try:
    * getting the latest graphics drivers for your hardware from your vendor and installing them.
    If that doesn't work, try
    * putting options like "-Dsun.java2d.noddraw" in the Java Control Panel as the default VM options for your Java.
    That's actually a bit aggressive - you can start with, say, "-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false" or "-Dsun.java2d.ddoffscreen=false" (each of these is less drastic than noddraw).
    Then make sure you quit all IEs, and restart one.

  • Fonts don't display properly

    Sorry if this has already been answered - I wasn't able to see a previous question like this so...
    I am unable to have certain fonts display properly, most troubling is the lack of the Greek alphabet. For instance, changing or typing a letter "b" in Symbol font does nothing. I notice that the font appears to be applied to the text, but it is obviously NOT a "beta". I have also noticed this happens with Wingdings and other fonts like it. Even copy/paste into iPages doesn't work.
    Doing a similar thing in software programs outside of iWork is no problem and it does work, so I know I have the fonts (and they're properly installed, etc).
    What do I do to get Greek Letters in iPages?

    What do I do to get Greek Letters in iPages?
    While switching to the old Symbol font may still work for Greek in some apps, modern Unicode apps and OS's do not input different scripts by changing fonts. They change keyboard layouts instead. So you go to system prefs/international/input menu and check the box for Greek, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Finder, select Greek in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder, and type.
    For individual characters it may be easier to use the Character Palette (Edit > Special Characters) as Yvan indicated.

  • Menu windows not displaying properly in Acrobat 11 STD

    When I try to print any PDF file (clicking File->Print) the Print Menu that opens is missing all text in the window incl all buttons. I tried installing a separate Adobe Reader in local Danish language just to test the application but this was worse. So uninstalled and sticking to Acrobat.
    I also tried click File->Properties and this is also not displaying properly.
    I fear this has something to do with Microsoft compatibility, but I don't know. I have MS Windows 7 Pro SP1 installed.
    The good news is I can guess the bottom 2 buttons - 'OK' (left button) and 'Cancel' (right button) which at least allows me to print in the default preferences.
    Any ideas how to fix? I have the latest update installed.

    I have been working together with Adobe support team to solve this. After multiple rootcauses we found the issue.
    The issue was caused by not having the default windows font 'Segoe UI' installed. Sounds strange that Win 7 does not come with the font that is used by this application but the tip worked.
    Google a website to download the font from, I used 'Fontpalace.com' - install the font - and voila the issue is solved.

  • Vertical images are fine in iPhoto, but don't display properly in aperture.

    Hello everyone, i have an old project around 1000 pictures and all the images show properly in iPhoto. I have a shared library with aperture and when i open that project in aperture , all the vertical images seems to be destroyed as soon as i double click on them. It looks like an half downloaded jpg. None of the Previsualisation or the full screen display are correct. What's wrong ?

    I had already tried it and it doesn't work "the selected element has been modified in iphoto and cannot be updated" (L’élément sélectionné a été modifié en externe dans iPhoto et ne peut être mis à jour.)
    here are screencaps to show you what it looks like.
    So everything is normal in iphoto, then I double click on an image in aperture and this happens, then the thumbnails are destroyed, and then in iphoto it is also destroyed.

  • 3.1 Bug? - Images don't display properly after upgrade to 3.1 from 3.0

    When pages are displayed after the upgrade, the image appears the first time the page is opened. Once a user goes to another page, then come back to the page with the image, the image is no longer displayed.
    This happens when the browser is set to "Check for newer versions of stored pages". When it checks for the new version, the image is not displayed.
    This looks like a Bug? Is someone working on a fix for this?
    Thanks.
    - Scott

    Scott,
    Thanks for this information. It is very helpful. May I put you through one last contortion, please?
    I would like to see what information is being passed in the HTTP header in the request for one of these broken images. If you have Live HTTP Headers or Firebug for Firefox, or Fiddler for IE, this should hopefully be easy. You don't seem technically challenged in the least, but just for the record, here's what I did using Firefox:
    1) Ran the Timesheets application
    2) For the very first icon on the left "My Timesheets", I right-clicked my mouse and chose "Copy Image Location"
    3) I opened up a new tab in Firefox and pasted the URL and then hit enter to retrieve the image
    4) I turned on Live HTTP headers and then clicked Refresh in my browser.
    I am most interested in the If-Modified-Since HTTP header. The full request on my system was:
    GET /pls/apx11c/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=191046216955701077&p_fname=eba_timesheets.png HTTP/1.1

  • Email button created in InDesign won't work on Interactive PDF. Anyone know a fix?

    Hello there, I am trying to make a e-mail button work after its .swf file is imported into a new iD document and exported as a interactive PDF. I have tried various things and work around but I can not seem to be able top make it wrong. I ask iD twiter for help and after a conversation with them I was told to try here.
    OS: Windows 7, iD Version 9.2.1 x64
    This is my process (Will include images and document files)
    1. Create simple solid color box object. Add a text title to the box and otline the text.
    2. Group the objects and make it into a button. Add a roll over appearance.
    3. Add "go to URL" action. One sample button URL is: mailto:test@email(dot)com, Second sample URL is: mailto://test@email(dot)com (the forum editor kept making links to this fake emails)
    4. Export iD document to .swf (Settings where default)
        NOTE* Here the .swf open in chrome and the email buttons work fine as a .swf alone
    5. Import the SWF into a new iD file. Export this second iD file to an Interactive PDF (Seetings where default)
    After doing this I click on the email buttons inside the interactive PDF but they dont start my email app (Outlook 2013) However every time I click either button a new empty Google Chrome window opens.
    Here is a dropbox link to the files themselves, the type is outlines so no need to worry for missing fonts. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fp76buzt98td8fy/4DD6tqImd9
    I hope someone can help me getting this fixed. Http:// Link buttons work fine on interactive PDF's following this process. For soem reason the email ones are the only ones that wont work. I have to use this process because I am working with an interactive PDF that has an animated roll over menue that does not work with ePub so the only way for my project to work the way I want it too is by exporting .swf of the finished file, importing on a new iD file and re-exporting to a interactive PDF.
    It was really hard finding anyhting related to this issue im having. Here is the only similar  issue I could find and it is from 2008! http://forums.adobe.com/thread/324167 I do hope I am the one doing something wrong here and not that Adobe has not fixed this .swf email links issue.
    Thanks for the help!
    -Sebastian

    Alright thanks! Ok this is what happens in my end:
    - The interactive PDF you sent me works fine. The iD file opens fine as well and is exactly the same process so that checks.
    -I exported your iD file to .swf, created a new iD document and imported the exported .swf file from the file you created. I exported this new document to interactive PDF. I open it and again I click the links and only google chrome windows open
    This is the link it probably works fine on your end
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/on5tun0v0eunjhu/buttons%20email%20text%20swf%20imported%20to%20i nteractive%20pdf.pdf
    I think there is something going on in my end. "Google Chrome" or "Flash" might be intersecting email links or something becuase I cannot get these .swf + interactive pdf combo to open the email client not even after I used your iD file, exported .swf, imported it and export again to interactive pdf.
    Again the interactive pdf you sent works fine and when I export my file to interactive pdf it works on my end as well, its only after i export to swf and then I use the file inside iD and export to interactive pdf that it does causes me trouble. I will see what I can do to fix this. At least it was working for you so if its only in my end then its not that bad but it will bugg me forever haha!
    Thanks again for your help!! Sorry to take your time Salah!

  • Buttons created in InDesign, exported to flash

    Good evening,
    I need to deal with different geometric shapes (about 200) designed in InDesign, such as buttons:
    1: click the left should change color, and reclick must return to the old color;
    Let me know if laying out everything to get what is written above:
    1: export the entire page as a flash, for use by third
    2: reopening the flash file, all the buttons will keep the same color as before.
    3: after changing colors to interested buttons, I must be able to print to PDF the page
    Thanks

  • Disabled combo boxes don't display properly after loading a movie.

    Hi,
    I have a main movie that contains some combo boxes. Some of them may be disabled.
    By pressing a button I load another movie using loadMovie. The loaded movie also contains combo boxes.
    When the button is pressed, the clip that shows the combo boxes is removed from the stage and the loaded movie is displayed. By pressing another button, the loaded movie is unloaded and the clip with the combo boxes is displayed again.
    Well, once the other movie has been loaded, when I go back to the clip with combo boxes, the disabled combo boxes have a small gray button covering the black down arrow.
    I have determined that so long as the loaded movie contains combo box in the library, the problem occurrs, even if there is no actual instance of it.
    The combo boxes that are not disabled are not affected. The combo boxes are disabled by setting "cb_name.enabled=false".
    If the combo box is enabled, it displays correctly, but if disabled again, it goes wrong again.
    My project is targeting Flash 8, so it uses AS2.
    I'm using Flash CS4.
    This is a very simple example I did to make sure I wasn't doing anything funny:
    Initially:
    After pressing the button:
    After pressing the other button:
    The behaviour in a web browser is the same...
    I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the response.
    The "Load the movie" button:
    on(click)
        _parent.gotoAndStop(2);
    The 2nd frame:
    loadMovie("Test another child.swf",Container);
    stop();
    The "Unload and go back" button:
    on(click)
        unloadMovie(_parent.Container);
        _parent.gotoAndStop(1);
    Container is a movieClip with a dark gray square shape the size of the movie clip that is loaded. It doesn't exist on frame 1, only on frame 2.
    The combo boxes are inside a movie clip, and this is only on the stage on frame 1.
    This and the captures belong to a very simple test I did. If there is a way of posting files, I can post a zip file with the two .fla and the two .swf.

  • Grayscale Images Colorized in InDesign Don't Print Properly

    Hi, we're having trouble getting proper color output when we colorize grayscale TIF files in InDesign CS3.
    We have just a couple basic grayscale TIF files, no transparency, saved with or without embedded profiles (Dot Gain 20%).
    We add a foreground and background color to these in InDesign using process colors (no spots). These colors should, and need to, match a couple large swatches of these colors elsewhere on the document.
    When we check the colors using Separations Preview, the numbers on the light and dark parts of the image are identical to the process colors they should be. They look correct on screen (with or without Overprint Preview).
    We usually print using 'Postscript Printer Determines Color' and let our RIP determine color settings (we have a Doc12 w/ Splash RIP). We tried many different settings on the RIP, no luck. We also tried printing using 'Let InDesign Determine Colors'. No luck. The colors are just slightly off. (ie - 0, 30, 100, 0 looks almost like pure yellow, much brighter).
    If I export to a PDF and print, it looks correct. If I make a CMYK version of the photo in Photoshop and use a gradient map to apply the same colors, it prints correctly.
    - ANY IDEAS???
    Thanks a lot.
