Colors in PDF preview look different from ai file.

Hello,
I am having a little trouble with the pdf I created in Illustrator. See images below for explanation. It's only happening to certain text. Can someone explain what is happening, how can it be fixed, and how to prevent it from happening again?
Thank you in advance!
I get this as thumbnail image on my desktop and in Finder, when I click space bar to quick view, and when its preview as an attachment in an email.
This is how it's supposed to look. This only happens when the PDF is actually opened..it goes from the above img to this.

Not quite sure, but it's a high possibilty I am using spot colors. I pulled the color from the panetone swatch. Is there a way to turn that off? No, "INVOICE" isn't placed twice. Im currently trying to research this on the net.
thanks for responding.

HT5930 Why does my Aperture v3.5.i look different from the one shown in the online videos

Why does my Aperture v3.5.i look different from the one shown in the online videos

Are you asking about the colorful icons in the video?
The video must have been done with an Aperture version 3.2.4 or earlier. Since Aperture 3.3 are the icons drab and gray - the Aperture 3.3 Release Notes are calling this:
Newly designed monochrome source list and toolbar icons.
The Release notes will tell you, what has changed since then:

Layout Looks Different from Dreamweaver to Email?

I am currently using Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 to create emails for my work. Last month I started having an issue where the 3 columns I have in the template would look even in Dreamweaver, but when I sent a test email to myself they looked completely off. This past week I have encountered another issue where the cellpadding of the email looks different from Dreamweaver to email. I am new to HTML and coding so it could just be me, but is anyone having a similar problem and if so, is there a way to fix it?

My firefox home page looks different from your tutorial

I am trying to learn to use firefox. Sometimes the firefox home page looks different from the one in your tutorial. Fox example, now I am looking above and the "plus sign" symbol to add a new tab is not there. Please advise me. Thank you.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.

If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.

Prepopulating PDF forms with data from XML file

How can I get a PDF form to open pre-populated with data from an XML file automatically? I've been using Adobe LifeCycle Designer 8.0 and there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. The closest I came was to use the ImportData method, but that only lets you specify a data file if the form is signed (certified), which these aren't and don't need to be because we're using them on an internal company web page. ImportData works if there is no file name, but then the user has to navigate to and select the correct file, which we can't rely on our users to do.
I've researched this problem for days on this and other websites and haven't found an answer (one Adobe advisor suggested purchasing LifeCycle Forms, which is not an option because it's a $10,000 software package and the company wouldn't authorize a purchase that steep). We will buy a less-expensive option if there is one. We'll even hire a consultant if we can find one to who can design a supportable solution. All suggestions will be much appreciated.

Hi Sharon
The easiest way is:
- Open your PDF form within Acrobat
- From the File menu, import the XML form data into the form
- From the File menu, use Save As... to save the file with a new name.
The new PDF will be identical to the original one, but will have the data embedded in it. Voila.
If you want the same form to pre-populate with different XML files depending on the circumstances, or if you're generating the XML on the fly, then things get more complicated. (And more expensive.) As your consultant said, LiveCycle Forms is one option, but it is expensive (actually even more than 10K). There are other options, including Cold Fusion, custom servlets, etc.

So i use ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'DATAFILE' RESIZE 'NEW SIZE'
Can this solve my error Please suggest and what command and precaution do I have to take.
Regards,

Hi,
Sorry for that I will have closed the one post. As suggest i have cheeked the sap note and find only one note 1137346
in that
BR0286W Size of file %s is different from Oracle file size.
BR0286W Größe der Datei %s ist verschieden von Oracle-Dateigröße.
Explanation: The file size in the file system is different from the file size saved in the ORACLE dictionary (in the control file). The file may be corrupted.
Program reaction: The program tries to save the file.
User action: Check your disks, the file system (file system check), and the ORACLE ALERT file. If you discover errors, you may be able to correct the situation by performing a recovery. Contact an ORACLE specialist before you start a recovery.
Need to know the steps as suggest

Page that is uploaded to the server looks different from the preview in Dreamweaver browser

Hi, I have a couple of questions. Does anyone happen to know why my homepage looks different in Dreamweaver when I preview in browser then it does when I upload the page onto the server? http://www.iewaterkeeper.org/ I see a join our mailing list button is intact when I preview in browser but is no where to be found when I view the uploaded page from the server. Other weird things have been going on with Dreamweaver today like I wasn't able to absolute position a div tag in it's intended place and all the typography on my homepage looks very blurry in Dreamweaver but looks clearer when it's uploaded to the server. Does anyone know what's going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated. .... Could it be a virus?

That's so weird because I'm looking at the code in Dreamweaver and line 181 has a closing </body>.   Here's the code straight from Dreamweaver:

PDF Preview working intermittently from workspace for FR reports

We are facing a strange issue while running HFM reports from workspace and taking PDF Preview, the report runs fine but when going for the PDF preview we dont get it every time.
Some it works when we try again by clicking on PDF preview button again,
Sometime it does not work for all the reports.
The issue gets tempararily resoloved when we reboot the servers. But can re-occur any time.
We are using Hyperion 11.1.1.3 on Windows 2003 SP 2, with Ghost Script 8.54 (32 Bit)
Currently are seeing few errors FRPrintSrv.log

Yes, Oracle support recomanded installing GPLghost script 8.63 version , earlier we were using AFL Ghost Script 8.54.

The issue still open

Why is it that iTunes looks different from all other apps again?

This might be a rather irrelevant question, yet I wonder: Why is it that iTunes doesn't look like the majority of other Apple apps? I guess it's mainly the scrolls bars and the check boxes. Not that I don't like the way iTunes look, I'm just curious why it has to look different when one of Leopard's goals was to make a more unified interface.
Can anyone enlighten me or is this something that only Apple knows?

"Besides, not all of us run Leapard, so wouldn't making iTunes look like leapard make it look different on all our systems that don't use leapard?"
That's a point But what I meant by that was that in Tiger there are many different kinds of windows where Apple in Leopard has tried to stick to just one. And that's why I think it's so weird that iTunes has to differ from all the rest.

Firefox fonts look different from Chromiums

Hi, my Firefox fonts look different than the ones Chromium uses:
Left is Firefox, right is chrome. As you can see, the placement of characters is somewhat different.
This is NOT the issue mentioned on the Firefox Wiki page, at least it is not fixed with the fontconfig.
What happens here?
Thank you,
Jan Oliver

I have "serif" , "sans serif" and "monospace" in the selections, "serif" being the default.
I applied the fix from here, and it did smoothen the fonts, but the letter placing is still bad as in the screenshot.

When I preview a page in a browser it looks different from my design

Hi, I'm having problems with my font and pictures not spacing correctly. They look perfectly in dreamweaver but when I publish or preview that are further apart than they're supposed to be. I need Help!

For more meaningful answers you'll need to post a URL to your test page so we can see it.
That said, DW Design View is not 100% reliable owing to different browsers, end-user settings and display sizes. Test your site in ALL major browsers (Chrome, FF, IE7, 8, Opera...) with increased/decreased text (zoom, text only). Also test with maximized and smaller than max browser viewport. Do this often during the design phase.
Use valid markup and CSS code. Bad code is the #1 cause of most page rendering problems.

Why do 'regular' colors (0 to 1) look different in 32 bit mode?

I know the 32bit mode offers the ability to work with colors beyond the 0 to 1 limit.
What I don't understand is why 'normal' colors appear brighter in 32bit mode.
A gradient from 0 to 1 looks quite different in 16bit mode than it does in 32bit.
I've messed around with the preview settings but am unable to match the appearence of the 16 bit mode.
Thanks.

Because you're working with different gamma factors.
Most integer formats (8 and 16 bit) are using gamma 2.2 (mid-gray is near 128). This is close to human perception, and makes best use of the available bits.
Floating point formats (32 bit) are using gamma 1.0 (mid-gray is near 0.18). This means the image is close to how light works, and makes it more accurate for some effects and calculations.

Save for web/devices preview looks different

As you can see from the image below, the color is drastically different between the document (left) and the save for web and devices preview (right). Does anyone know why this would happen? When I publish the file from the save for web and devices menu, the color is correct, it's only the preview that is busted. So while it isn't a huge problem, it's definitely an annoyance. Thanks.

Chris,
Thanks for that information. So what would be the best way to proceed such that there is no discrepancy between how the file looks while I'm working on it and after I export? As you can see from the pic above, the difference is substantial. Should I just use Save As instead of SFW? Thanks.
