Canon MP830 + Adobe Reader 8.0 = Yellow backgrounds?

Anytime we print a PDF file via the new Adobe Reader 8 (for Intel Macs), the background--which should be white or at the worst a very very faint gray from it being a converted fax--prints in a bright neon yellow on our Canon MP830.
This is despite the fact that the print preview window in AR8 shows a perfectly normal white b/g.
So far we've only encountered this error in AR8. If I open the same PDF in Preview and print from there, it prints fine.
If you're thinking, "Well, just use Preview and not AR8--problem solved!" I agree with you to a point, but also would prefer to find a solution as opposed to the ostrich method.
I Googled around and found reference to an Adobe print setting called Discolored Background Correction, but this seems to only be available in Acrobat Pro, not Reader. I've also searched the Apple forums and have seen users have similar problems, but with different printer/software combinations.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Macbook Core Duo 2.0 GHz / iMac Core 2 Duo 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Resolved by getting rid of the MP830 in favor of an MX850.

  • Open PDF Attachment with Adobe Reader put GW to background

    Hello all,
    We have problems with opening pdf attachments from GroupWise client 12.02 with Adobe Reader 11.0.06. The attachment opens fine, but when opening the attachment, the mail and GroupWise client immediately are placed to the background in Windows. So when closing Adobe Reader, the user won't come back in the mail but in another application that was open and the user have to click on groupwise in the taskbar to go back to the mail.
    There is no problem with opening other attachments from other applications (like Word or Excel) or when opening the pdf with Adobe Standard. It happens with every user.
    They are working in a Citrix Xenapp 6.5 environment on Windows 2008R2 (it also happens if working in a RDS session)
    Any thoughts?
    Regards,
    Jaap

    Are you trying to say that all of the apps mentioned are running as
    XENapps? If not please specify which are local vs remote.
    What is the client OS being run as that may also factor in.
    Worth trying another PDF reader such as FoxIT reader to better see
    which side is driving that behaviour.

  • Adobe Reader XI moves to background (loses focus) after printing

    I have noticed that if another window is open (windowed or maximized) and you print from Adobe Reader (windowed or maximized) then as soon as you send the doc to the printer, the other window will suddenly be in front of your adobe reader window and you will have to click the Adobe icon at the bottom to bring it to the front again.
    It's sort of minor but annoying for some people here and I was wondering is anyone else noticing this and does anyone have an idea how to stop the window from jumping to the back as soon as you print?
    Please help me!!!!!

    Thanks for your response. I found the problem 1/2hr after posting my question. It had to do with the setting after hitting the print que. After installing the Adobe Reader XI the setting for destination in the print window change to save as PDF. Before it was set to my default printer. I never knew that there was other places for these documents could go. Never had to use them either.
    Again thanks for responding.

  • How do I install Adobe REader? Their instructions for Firefox say to "Click on the 'Edit Options' button in the yellow bar at the top" but there is no yellow bar or 'Edit Options' button.

    How do I download Adobe Reader 9 in Firefox? Their instructions say to begin by clicking on the 'Edit Options' button on the yellow bar at the top. I have no such bar or button on my Firefox start page.
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == About 1/2 hour ago.

    The instructions on the Adobe site are outdated and do no longer apply to current Firefox versions and you can ignore those instructions and save the Adobe installer to your desktop and start the installation with a double-click on that file.

  • Process of Adobe Reader XI, is running in the Background, after closing.

    Hi,
    when I close the Adobe Reader XI, the Process is still running in the Background of my System. The Process needs a lot of CPU an after some moment my System is slowing down rapidly.
    Windows 8 (64-bit)
    Adobe Reader 11.
    What's to do?
    Greetings

    Same exact same situation happened to me with Windows 8 64 bit, Adobe XI .
    the CPOU is slowing down and is heated. the fans s running all the time. the only solution was for me to end the processes from the taks bars (one process per adobe file open !!!)
    somethign is definitely wrong; but don't know if it is Windows 8 or Adobe; I thing it is Adobe issue.

  • The new version of firefox does not shut down when I close the browser it continues running in the background. In addition it opens Adobe Reader for a brief time and then that closes. Everything worked fine before this new version.

    Firefox automatically loaded a new version recently. The new version does not shut down when I close the browser it continues running in the background. In addition it opens Adobe Reader for a brief time and then that closes. Everything worked fine before this new version.

  • Adobe Reader 9.0 background color

    I just downloaded Adobe Reader 9.0. The default background color is black. How can I change that to a different color? I'm not talking about the background color when in "full screen" mode; I just mean when the reader is open and no document is open, or when a document is open but not in full screen mode.

    Believe it or not, the single reason why I'm staying with Adobe Reader 8 and do not upgrade to Adobe Reader 9 is too dark background of the main application window (not the full-screen mode, since that color is adjustable). In Reader 8, the color was gray, and in Reader 9, the color is dark gray which results in too high contrast compared to the usually white document background.
    Is there a way to change this color, even if editing a registry key is needed?

  • Document background in Adobe Reader

    Whenever I open a pdf document in Adobe Reader, the background of the document has a 'chessboard' checker effect, making the text difficult to read. Is there a way to get rid of this effect?

    In Acrobat Reader, selct the Edit --> Prefernces.  Select "Page Display" on the left.
    Locate the "Page Content and Information" section and uncheck the item "Show Transparency grid".
    Click OK and it should be resolved.

  • When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.

    When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.  I am logged on as the Administrator, running Windows 7, using Microsoft Home and Business 2010.

    You were right, it was a Microsoft problem.
    I got it...I am now able to save a Word 2010 document as a pdf file.  Here is what I did/found:
    In Word, go to File, Options, Display and make sure that "Print drawing created in word" is CHECKED.
    Mine was unchecked and when I checked it everything came back and is working as it did before.  The only thing I can think of is that a Microsoft Update may have changed this selection...I know I DID NOT make any changes in the options.
    One other thing I noticed in my saved documents folders was that a lot of my files showed up as PDF's and would still not open until I selected one and told it to default to open as a word document and then they all changed back and I was able to open them in word again.
    I hope this helps others out there.

  • How can I get a passage highlighted in yellow in a word document sent to Adobe Reader?

    How can I get a passage highlighted in yellow in a word document sent to Adobe Reader?

    You can view non-PDF documents, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, RTF, in Adobe Reader for iOS.  However, you are not able to add comments or edit non-PDF documents in Adobe Reader.
    To open a non-PDF document in other iOS app.
    Tap anywhere in a document to display the toolbar in Adobe Reader.
    Tap the Share icon on the right side of the toolbar.
    Select Open In... from the menu.
    Select an appropriate app to open the document.
    Alternatively, you can convert a Word/Excel/PowerPoint/RTF document to PDF using the paid subscription service called Adobe PDF Pack and add comments to a resultant PDF document.

  • Why is my Adobe Reader 11 going automatically to the background when i open an pdf file

    Hello Guys,
    We have a problem at a customer. If he opens an pdf file from his programm , then it is going automatically to the background.
    We tried it with Adobe Reader 8 and that wasn't giving a problem, so anybody has an workaround for Adobe Reader 11 ?
    Thanks
    Tariku Bartels

    Dear Pat,
    We have internet explorer 9.0 (and we tried it with 10) and when we want to proceed with it, it opens for a second an goes to the background.
    So it opens in the External Adobe Reader. But i know we can alt-tab it but it needs to be automatically and that worked just with Reader 8.
    So do you have any idea of how we can fix this or is there a workaround available for this problem.
    Kind regards,
    Tariku Bartels
