Creating PDFs of drawings from ArcMap results in blank areas on the PDF

I generate maps in ArcMap and when I make PDFs of the maps I get white or blank areas in the resulting PDF unless I generate it in High Quality mode. Anyone know what causes this?

Hey Jason Smith,
Please let me know what exact Acrobat version are you using.
You might need to go to 'Edit> Preferences> Page Display' and check mark Show large images" option under Page Content and Information section.
Then check and let me know.
Regards,
Anubha

When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name. But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name. How do I fix this?

Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

I created two Aperture libraries from one large library. Some of the photos in library

I created two Aperture libraries from one large library. Some of the photos I want to keep in library #2 are in the trash of library #1. If I empty the trash of library #1, will it affect the same photos that were moved to library #2? I moved over 2,000 photos to create library #2. Their names are showing in the trash of library #1.

Are your images referenced or managed? If your partial libraries are referencing the same original files as the library you exported them from, be careful. Deleting the orignal on one library #1can delete it from the library #2. But if your originals are managed by Aperture inside the Aperture library, you can delete them.
I moved over 2,000 photos to create library #2. Their names are showing in the trash of library #1.
If you are not sure about referenced or managed, select one of the images you want to keep in the library where they are not in the Trash, then use the command "File > Show in Finder". If you can reveal them in the Finder, they are referenced and probably are shared between your libraries.
Or turn on "badge referenced files" in the Preferences > Appearance settings. Then your referenced images will show arrow badges.

All PDF print as completely black pages. I can read the PDF fine. This is true on any printer.

All PDF print as completely black pages. I can read the PDF fine. This is true on any printer.
A google search shows others have had this problem, but I have not seen a solution posted.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat, without help. I'm wondering if this is a registry problem.
I saw some post that referred to a stuck switch of print colors as black, but I know nothing about this.
Please help!

I am using a Mac (all software latest version - Mt. Lion and Safari as web browser). I see this exact problem but NOT with all PDFs. As you might not know, PDF creation is built-into all Macs and I do NOT have a problem with any of those, nor has anyone complained to me about those. Also, Macs have a bulit-in PDF viewer ("Preview") which also can NOT view the file correctly. If I try to open the file once it has been stored on the desktop, Acrobat gives me an "incorrectly formatted PDF file" error.
My AMEX statement is unprintable and some other stuff that comes from our local school board, and other online sources. (My suspicion is that these files are not perfectly formatted).
Here was my work-around:
I use FIREFOX browser to retrieve the same PDF and it prints fine.
I, too, would LOVE to know why this is happening because it is annoying.

My hard drive died last week, and I needed to install a new one. Previously, I was able to save a .doc with text and inserted photo to .pdf and then to .jpg. Now I can get the .pdf but can't determine what to do to convert to .jpg. Does anyone know ?

Rather than do that, which means starting over from scratch, losing all your edits, organisation and so on, why not simply use iPhoto Library Manager to revert the Library to the older version? Easier, less destructive.
The instructions on that are here
If you really want to start over: you can access the Originals folder simply by going to your Pictures Folder and finding the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.

Is there a way to sort a PDF file with multiple pages by a specific field within the PDF? All pages have the same invoice format and i would like to sort by a field within and then print the documents. (Vendor, PO#, Date, ect.)

When you say field, do you mean specifically a form field, such as a text field? Or is the information regular text on the page?

[CS5] Using PDF Export Preset from Distiller with InDesign, doesn't work the same?

Hello,
We are in the process of reworking one of our workflows in which we would manually use Distiller to create a PDF. Now we are trying to automate this with InDesign. My first thought was that I could try using the same PDF Export Preset (.joboptions file) used in Distiller, load it into InDesign, and export my book as a PDF using this preset.
For my current testing example, there are about 115 pages in this PDF document. The PDF that Distiller created is of pretty good quality, and is about 34MB. When I used the same .joboptions file to export an InDesign book of the same original documents as a PDF, the result is equal in quality, but is about 119MB.
Does anyone know why they aren't even close in file size? Is InDesign packing more stuff (maybe related to the actual InDesign documents, or the book itself) into the final PDF? If so, is there anyway to get InDesign to give a similar PDF (in terms of both size and quality) using the .joboptions file from Distiller?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply!
I won't be able to use Acrobat Pro, and my hope is to continue using InDesign/InDesign Server. Since my goal is to match what Distiller produces, is there a way (with InDesign) to export PDFs but to strip out the layers/interactivity/transparency that Distiller does not support? The output PDF will be used for archive purposes only.
Thanks again for any advice!

How do I prevent my document from looking like chinses when I use the pdf converter and print it?

I print with the pdf converter. When I open the document its Chinese scribble, the whole document..

Hi jhpjr,
Are you converting a PDF to another format using ExportPDF, or converting a file to PDF? If you're using ExportPDF, the quality of the conversion depends on the quality of the original PDF file. Please see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community for an explanation of how ExportPDF converts files.
If your PDF wasn't created from a scanned document, you may have better luck by disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community

Creating a pop-up in Acrobat X that is triggered when the PDF is opened.

Hello all,
I am wanting to create a pop-up that is triggered when the PDF is opened.
The problem I am facing is that our customers are filling out the packet , but are not using the purple "Submit" button located at the top of the page to submit the form to us. They are instead printing out the form and faxing it to us, or scanning and emailing the packet, which defeats the whole purpose of it being a fillable, distributed pdf.
The email invitation that they receive is a bit wordy so I have have pared that down as well. To be honest with the amount of "Read this first" pop ups that we are exposed to daily I think that our customers are simply not reading the instructions properly.
There was a post here in the forums but the expanation was for Acrobat 7 or 8.
Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for the quick response George. I guess a better way communicate what I need to accomplish is "how"
I went to the toolbar on the right, then "javascript", then "Document Java Scripts". That opened a window that had me name the script, then add it, then put in the scripting (see below). I do not know how to "place it in a document-level JavaScript (outside of a function definition) or in the initial page's Page Open event."
This is the script I am attempting to use.
var message = "When you have completed filling out the Tax Organizer, click on the purple "SUBMIT" button at the top of the page. This will automaticall submit your Tax Organizer for you. Be sure to print a copy for your files"
app.alert(msg,3);
If you could provide some step by steps that would be super.
I am wanting this pop-up box to open and the client will have to then click on the "ok" button to make it dissapear so that they can then fill out the PDF.
The "Submit" button is auto created for me when I choose to distribute the form, I am unaware of any way to move it.
I feel that my issue is a elementary one, I am currently working through the Adobe Classroom in a Book lessons as all my acrobat skills have been self taught.

Is there anyway to transfer a pdf document (book) from iBooks to a third-party app like PDF Expert?

I've been having problems using Dropbox to transfer a large pdf document(2.3GB) from my MacBook Pro to my iPad. Each time I upload the document to my Dropbox, the file becomes unreadable. I am able to read the document on my MacBook Pro before uploading it to my Dropbox, however. Since the uploading process seems to be corrupting the file somehow, I decided to transfer the file using iTunes, which places the doument into the iBooks app on my iPad. I have opened the file using the iBooks app and I am able to read it, but I want to be able to use PDF Expert to read the document and so I need to somehow move the document from iBooks to PDF Expert. Is there a way to transfer the file? Or I'm I now limited to using iBooks only? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Have you tried GoodReader? It claims to handle very large file sizes and it's very good for annotations. It's my PDF reader of choice on the iPad
From the GoodReader manual:
File types to view in GoodReader
There are two types of viewing engines - the ones that we've written ourselves, and the built-in device's standard viewing engine. Our own engines provide great flexibility and many additional features not found in the built-in engine (for example, opening very large files). The built-in engine is very powerful and knows many file formats, but has many limitations and no additional features.
Files of very big size (our own viewing engine):
very large PDF files (including password-protected). File size is not the limit. Revolutionary PDF Reflow (Extract Pure Text) mode. See Viewing PDF Files for details.
very large TXT files. See Viewing TXT Files for details.
high-resolution pictures and other graphic files (including slideshow viewing mode). See Viewing Pictures for details.
And as a free bonus - files of normal size (iOS standard viewing engine):
all file formats supported by Safari engine: Microsoft Office files - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML files and Safariwebarchives
iWork'08/09 files - Pages, Numbers, Keynote (files must be saved with Include Preview option)
.ai files saved with PDF Compatible option
audio files (natively supported by iOS)
video files (natively supported by iOS)

When creating a Change Request from within an Incident - Can Pull in the Information from the Inicdent?

My users are currently creating a lot of Change Requests, and we have templates. What they want to do is to pull in the relevant information from the Incident like title, description, attachments, affected user, etc. I have seen similar things where people
are changing an incident to a service request, and wondered if it were possible to do it from Incident to Change...

iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order. So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.

Converting FM to PDF results in thumbnail-sized text area in the PDF

I'm having an issue with converting FM files to PDF. I'm using all the same settings I had been using previously, but now my PDFs appear with the text and images smooshed together in a thumbnail version of the source page. The PDF page size is 8.5 x 11, which is the size of my source FM file. So the thumbnail appears in the middle of a regular sized page in the PDF. (I'm sorry this is difficult to explain what's happening, which is probably why I can't find anything after searching the forums).
Does anyone know what is going on? I've got an aggressive deadline and troubleshooting this issue is getting me no where.

To help out in trouble shooting, could you supply details on your FM and Acrobat versions, and your OS?
Also if you're using the full version of Acrobat, or the limited version that ships with FM.
And at a really basic level, is your system default printer set to the Acrobat printer.
And in FM, on the Print dialog box, is there any chance that you have the Thumbnail option activated?
