Can't view documents, they show up gray.

This issue is in Adobe Reader 8. It started when I received an Adobe file that was a signed document. The signature block was grayed out, so I clicked on Document, then Sign, then preview document. Since that time all adobe documents are grayed out on the monitor. If I send it to the printer, they print fine, if I forward the Adobe file, other folks can open it just fine. I dumped and then reinstalled Adobe, and that did not do it. The Document, then Sign, then preview document, combination allows me to view some documents, but not all. They print just fine, but that is a pain when I need one page out of ten and don't know the exact one I need then I have to print them all. How do I solve this issue?

Check your page display preferences and make sure that "display large images" is checked.
Not sure if that's it but that's the first thing I'd try.

    Nothing is working and I can't find the Roboform toolbar. Your lack of direct support is really irritating- a live chat at least would be helpful.

  • HT1414 upon updating to ios 7.0.2 all my gopro black hd videos will not play they show as gray in colour. Are these files still there and can they be restored they ran perfectly until the update

    I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
    The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

  • Can't view document

    I'm running a beta test of the eSignature process to see if it will work for what we need.  I've uploaded the doc and signed it, and then gone in under a different account to co-sign.  As the 2nd signer, it's telling me I have to upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader before I can view the document.  I'm using the full version of Acrobat 9 Pro.  What gives?

    For additional info... I just installed the latest Adobe Reader as well. (So now I have both Acrobat Pro 9 and Adobe Reader.)  I still can't view this document....eSignature is still telling me I need the latest version of Adobe Reader.  So far, the beta test is failing miserably.  Can anyone help?

  • Can't view a slide show made is PSE7 in PSE8 - Please help.

    I made a slide show in PSE 7 with music etc. Then I bought PSE 8 and installed it - deleted PSE 7. I can no longer view the slide show in PSE8. I have the time line with the pictures and the music is playing - unfortunately the screen is black. It is interesting because the timeline moves from slide to slide with the music but the screen is black. Please help...

  • Can I view a TV show from my PC iTunes to MacBook with sharing via iTunes?

    The TV show shows up in the shared library file on my MacBook. Seems I am having trouble with this; will not load the TV show via my shared library in my MacBook. I am coming to the conclusion that you cannot watch a TV show in my MacBook iTunes from my PC iTunes shared library. Is that correct?

    Weird, pulled out my powerbook and was able to view the TV shows via iTunes but somehow iTunes on the macbook would not load the TV show from my PC. Guess I will keep trying.

  • I have saved documents with oages and numbers but now I can't open them they show as several files in preview mode why?

    Why are my saved documents comkmg up in preview mode and I can't access them?

    Hi Gail,
    A Numbers document is actually a bunch of files that (usually) appear to be a single file.
    What version of OS X are you using on your MacBook?
    What version of Numbers? Numbers 2 (Numbers '09) or Numbers 3? The latest version of Numbers is 3.5 on OS X Yosemite.
    More information will lead to a solution .
    Keep posting.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Can't view document in library and I have View/Read Access

    Hello,  I have a document library that has unique permissions to edit and above but our "AllUsers" in our Active Directory has Read/View permission but those users cannot see 1 particular file in that library.  This issue is driving me
    crazy and I feel that I have spent way too long on what I believe I should of been able to solve quickly!  :o)  All other users that have edit and above access to the library can see and open the document and as far as I can tell it is not currently
    checked out to any one user either.  Does anybody have ANY ideas on what the issue is and what I can try or look at, I will do anything at this point!  :o)  We are Windows 7 / SharePoint 2013 and O365.  Thanks in advance for your help!
    Joan

    Hi Joan,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the user who have read/view permissions were not able to see one particular file in a library in SharePoint 2013 Online.
    Please go to the problematic library, check whether you enabled versioning as Library Settings->Versioning settings->Document Version History. If yes, in Draft Item Security section, select ‘Any user who can read items’, then click OK.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Can't view document workspace-help?

    I suddenly cannot view my document workspace in PhotoShop CS3...does anyone know what I might have done or need to reset?  I can see the open document in the navigator, but cannot access it on the screen.

    This is normally because the document window is off the screen and can be due to a variety of reasons.
    Did you previously have a second monitor connected?
    Have you tried different screen resolutions?
    You could also try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Can I view documents in a web browser?

    I was under the assumption I would be able to send my documents to iCloud and then edit them within a web browser. Is this not the case?
    When I go to iCloud.com all I see is an option to install iWork on IOS devices.

    Your assumption was wrong.  You can not edit them online.

  • HT1430 dueing the  update ios7 7.0.2 ipad can not open. They show the message is correct the itunes. I back the house and correct the itunes and get the recover the ipad but unsucessful. now the ipad is unavaible to start. pls help

    dueing the update IOS 7 7.0.2, ipad show the message is contact the itunes, when I back the house, ipad contact the PC and itunes for recovery the ipad but unsuccessful. Now ipad is not start.please help

    I hope this helps. If I understood your question properly, it is the same or similar problem many, including myself, had with the IOS7 update. I'll relay my situation & what I did to rectify it.  I have the iPad2 & MACBook Pro. I have an iPhone 5 but won't be updating it.
    IF YOU HAVEN'T YET UPDATED YOUR iPAD TO IOS 7... DON'T. NOT UNTIL YOU'RE CERTAIN YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR iPAD, AT LEAST. BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR DEVICE.
    FIRST: BACK UP YOUR IPAD, & ALL YOUR DEVICES.
    NEXT: CHECK FOR UPDATES ON ALL DEVICES.
    I updated my iPad while away from my main wifi connection because using my main wifi for the last update subsequently interfered with my connection thereafter. New problem now.
    1.) Once I updated (was it successful/unsuccessful?) Because...
    My iPad showed a large apple with a line underneath; then it illustrated & said, "connect to iTunes." i can't accessa thing. (Huh? Doesn't Apple know people TRAVEL FAR away from their MAC with their iPads? I WAS RUDELY LEFT WITH AN INOP DEVICE on the road.)
    2.) On my MAC: I checked for all updates, & ensured my iTunes was updated.
    3.) I followed thre following instructions from a website (http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/ios-7-problems/) I found when researching this common problem. iPhone... iPad... same instructions...
    ...connect to iTunes and try DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode.
    Potential solution:
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button to turn your iPhone off.
    Open iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for ten seconds, and then release the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue to hold down the Home button until you see a pop-up on iTunes stating that “iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.”
    Your iPhone screen should be blank, if you see a logo or message on it then you are not in DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode.
    Select your iPhone in the left hand column of iTunes and select Summary then Restore.
    You may need to install the iOS 7 update again.
    ------------------ THIS WORKED.
    I followed the instruction & so far so good. DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR iPAD! It will continue to prompt you through SEVERAL items, including the re-installation of one of your previous back-ups. It appears the back-up was successful & that everything is now back to normal.
    Except that now I'm stuck with the juvenile appearance of this new IOS. My Notepad no longer looks like a notepad. Why don't I just type on DOS? My APPLE easthetice have disappeared. If I can, I will revert to IOS 6.
