Differences between Acrobat 9 and Acrobat X at soft proof

Hi!
Under Mac OSX 10.8 there is a critical error on output preview.
A PDF with the ISOCoatedv2 colorprofil looks very different at Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat X Pro.
The preview in Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat 9 is correct.
The complete same file at Acrobat X Pro looks verry different! (in each app the simulation is on IsoCoatedv2)
on top the acrobat X Pro (red is to dark)
on the pic below is the correct one in Acrobat 9.
What can i do, that Acrobat X Pro shows me correct colors (the same whicht Acrobat 9 shows)?!

what fix? adobe must have changed the way they access/translate data to the monitor color space and didn't tell anyone about it. wouldn't have been the first time and sure wont be the last. no preference panel allows you access to those settings. leaving us with no choice but once again bow to adobes monopoly power.
how come microsoft got sued over a similar issue and adobe?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft
and those color management preferences got nothing to do with the way a pdf is rendered on your screen, that's only to describe items that don't have a profile attached (device colorspaces).
acrobat 11 does exactly the same. sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
just checked, the worse your monitor profile is, the bigger the display error. acrobat 11 (and i guess 10 as well) readjust the display. try changing the monitor profile in system preferences and watch acrobat 11 reset its display within a few seconds. it displays correctly for about half a second and than its back to some unrelated display mode.
thnaks for the great find!

  • What's the difference between this and Acrobat 7.0 Pro?

    I don't understand what the difference is between this product and Acrobat 7.0.5 Professional... I can view 3d enabled PDFs in 7.0.5 Pro.
    Is this tool a superset of Acrobat 7 Pro that facilitates creation of this 3D content?

    Actually, the Mac story is a bit more complicated than has been reported. The Acrobat 3D (authoring) product is currently available only on Windows. The new Adobe Reader 7.0.7, which contains the enhanced 3D viewing and collaboration features mentioned in the press releases, will be available simultaneously on Windows AND Mac. The Unix ports mentioned are only for capturing OpenGL streams from applications on Unix and creating PDFs from them, the entire functionality of Acrobat 3D is not currently available on Unix.
    I cannot comment on if and when a Mac version of the authoring tool (Acrobat 3D) would be released. Content produced on Windows, however, will be viewable on the Mac and can be collaborated on on the Mac exactly as on Windows, using the Adobe Reader. A lot of work was done on the Mac to make this happen.
    As far as OpenGL Capture, you can theoretically capture any output that displays using OpenGL on Windows or the Unix systems that Acrobat 3D supports. However, that said, we sometimes run into applications that do not capture properly. We tested with a number of important CAD applications so that we could make sure that capture worked from them, but we were, obviously, unable to test capture with all OpenGL applications. If you find one that does not work, please report it as a bug against the product.
    Hope this helps.

  • Differences between Preview and Acrobat Pdf for some files

    Good morning,
    My name is Roberto and I am from Venice (Italy).
    I'm a new Mac user (I need to use windows for my work because the softwares are only made for win).
    The problem (I think it is a problem of SL):
    I upgraded my MBP17 and iMac24 to SL.
    Last week I noticed that the file linked below showed a different color on the table background.
    The original background is orange (if you open the file with acrobat reader) while it is grey when you use Preview.
    Go to page 100 to see the differences.
    https://wwwsapp1.suva.ch/sap/public/bc/its/mimes/zwaswo/99/pdf/44022_i.pdf
    Thanks.

    Hi Seems a similar problem here too. Saving CMYK files in illustrator as pdf to mail to customers. A navy color in the file displays as grey in Preview Mail and Quicklook, but it prints correctly to our Xerox DC12 and opens fine in Acrobat with the same navy blue as viewed in illustrator CS4.
    We tried making the colour a spot not process same problem.
    We have tested this on an iMac with 10.6.1 with CS4 and a PowerMac with 10.6.1 with CS4. It seams to be in Snow Leopard only. The color displays on Leopard correctly in Preview, Mail and Quicklook.
    Is any one else having Preview colors displaying wrong?

  • Difference between IE and acrobat in opening PDF

    Hi, I have adobe acrobat 9 pro and if I open a PDF using acrobat, I have a bunch of toolbar functions like redaction, advanced editing and so on. However, if I open it using IE, which also uses acrobat, its toolbar provides limited functions. I only installed adobe acrobat version, and I uninstalled the acrobat reader 8.
    Is it because that acrobat 9 provides the reader functions in IE acrobat activeX?
    If so, is there any way to activate the functions in IE activeX?

    Hi,
    I have similar kind of situation and facing problem.
    We have developed custom plugins which resides under Adobe/Acrobat/Plug_ins/<Directory>/MyPlugin.API. We have used Acrobat SDK to create this custom plug_in.
    We have developed PDF viewer (using Acrobat SDK) which loads this plug_in and opens PDF file and this PDF Viewer we are using in our web site inside internet explorer.
    We have web application which displays list of name of PDF documents like 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf, 4.pdf.
    Step (1) When user opens 1.pdf it will open PDF using our PDF viewer and custom plug in and working fine.
    Step (2) Now if user opens another PDF (xyz.pdf) in other tab of internet explorer or in a different instance of a Internet Explorer it opens PDF but using IE PDF viewer ActiveX provided by Adobe under  Program Files/Common Files/Acdobe/Acrobat/ActiveX/AcroPDF.dll.
    Step (3) Now if user goes back to our web site and opens another pdf like 3.pdf our custom plug in in stop working. It's like it has never been loaded.
    This only happens if user perform Step (2) using IE. If user does not do Step (2) or open PDF out side of Internet explorer using Adobe Acrobat it will not create any problem because out side of IE it will open PDF using Acrobat Standard.
    My question is ,
    Is Acrobat PDF viewer ActiveX for IE is doing something which is causing this issue? I came to this conclusion because this only happens when user does step (2).
    Thanks,
    twinkle

  • Why are there print differences between Reader and Acrobat Pro

    I have a PDF file generated by InDesign (CS3). When I print the PDF from Reader (8.1.4) I get lighter text than when the same file is printed by Acrobat Pro (9.1.0). A close examination of the printed letters shows that the text printed from Reader is not solid black, while the text from Pro is solid black.
    Is this typical or is there something I need to do to improve the printing from Reader?

    I am a CADD Coord. (CADD Mgr)designer) I used to do a lot of design. Just recently we have noticed that anything printed from Adobe, the reader or the full version, is printing so lightly in many cases that it looks like it is missing data. whenever we create teh PDF from Autodesk products or Bluebeam Revue, it is the same. Bluebeam prints perfect. Yet the exact same file printed through Adobe is very, very light. Even printing as image it does this. And it appears at random. Some people print ok, but the exact same printer sent by someone else, using the same method, comes out too light in Adobe.
    I have contacted Autodesk and they have punted it back. Anyone have any answers or clues to fix? i send out deliverables for clients all the time and I hate to find out they print and miss something of the design.

  • Differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9"

    Dear Adobe Support Team,
    I need to know the differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9". I have worked with Acrobat 7 and have used the same script after installing Acrobat 9 for Automation Testing with QTP for validating pdf. The object "AcroExch.AVDoc" is not getting identified as object while working in QTP in the system/machine which has Acrobat 9 installed, whereas it works well in the machine which has Acrobat 7 installed . So it will be better if two things are known as per my understanding, ie.,
    it must have compatibility issue (i need the difference between "Adobe Acrobat versions 7 & 9" to assure this) or
    installation issue( which can be confirmed if the former question is answered).
    So i kindly request you to help me out for this scenario.
    Kind Regards,
    Vikraman.G

    Countless new features were introduced between Acrobat 7 and 9, are you really expecting us to type out a full list from memory?
    If you are having specific issues with the Acrobat SDK, first refer to the Acrobat SDK for the higher version. If there remains an issue I suggest posting about the specific problem in the Acrobat SDK forum, rather than asking for an encylopedia of all possible information...
    Note that Adobe do not support multiple installations of Acrobat on the same machine, so you can expect development issues if you do this.

  • Differences between standard and pro versions

    I was reading the comparision of these two Acrobat versions and for Pro it says:
    Edit and enhance photos to add to your PDF communications with Adobe Photoshop® CS5.
    Quickly transform static PowerPoint slides into compelling, interactive PDF presentations with Adobe Presenter       
    Rapidly combine screen recordings, narration, video, slides, and more into a rich media experience with Adobe Captivate® 5
    Does that mean that the Pro version includes Photoshop, Presenter and Captivate programs as well? Or, what are the differences? As an aside, the new look and feel of the Adobe website is confusing at best. Seems geared to being flashy, not useful.
    Regards, David

    Acrobat does not included those other packages. One of the pages that always struck me funny (maybe I have a twisted mind) but has this artistic background is the updates page. The background looks like a lacy bra to me. It is the first thing that comes to mind every time I see it. That is a problem with abstract images (that are typically unnecessary and waste bandwidth), that a lot is in the eye of the beholder. Actually, I have heard from many others that also see the bra.
    OK, back to Acrobat. There are several aspects of Acrobat that allow you to have links to the other products built in, but they are not included. The page at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide.html?promoid=JIJYS provides some info, but a lot is missing. For instance there are differences with PDF Optimize and Reduce File Size I think (sorry, I do not have Std to check). One important one that is part of pro is the preflight option. Apparently Std does not include portfolios or allow PDF comparison according to the chart.
    If you are into forms, then Std apparently will do them as AcroForms (my preference, partially because of familiarity), but does not include Designer if that was your preference. Some of the enabling for Reader is not available in Std. Also, Std does not allow embedding Flash. Std is limited for some of the products that include PDF Maker (not a big one for me, but might be important to you).
    That is a quick summary based on the chart. However, be aware there are some other features that the chart does not seem to cover. For the difference between Std and Pro, I would suggest getting Pro. The big hit is the initial cost of the product, not the step up to Pro. In a business plan consider the time that might be wasted trying to do some of the things in Pro that are not in Std. Those are the types of issues to consider. Many folks consider the cost to be large, and for a small business it is. However, in the long term it may be worth the cost.
    Keep in mind that many large CAD packages in engineering run about $30,000 for a single license, half the cost of the engineer that would use it. Some other tools are about $15,000. In that view, Acrobat is cheap (except for cheapskates like me).

  • Differences between PDF and TIF

    Printing a file to TIF or pdf as a bitmap image format gives me WYSIWYG
    However, when I print the same file in pdf format, part of the data on the right side of the page is missing although the print preview looks good.
    As far as I know, in the first case, the printer is dealing with raster data whereas in the second case, the printer is dealing with vector data.
    I would like to know more about the differences between raster and vector printing and I would appreciate if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this.
    Thanks in advance!

    This has nothing to do with the pdf specification, but a function of the
    software running, the OS, and the printer driver. If part of the data is
    missing the problem probably lies with the application software or the
    printer driver. If you are using Acrobat to create the pdf, please
    repost in that forum, that is where you will get the most help.

  • Difference between 32 and 64 and why is 64 your preference

    Hi, can someone please explain the difference between 32 and 64 bit and why the 64 is a preference for some of you? I'm more concerned about peripherals and printers working with Vista Ultimate on 64bit, before purchasing and installing CS4 onto a new computer. Thank you.

    Bear in mind that to run 64 bit you need (a) a computer able to do
    this and (b) the 64-bit edition of Vista (not the normal one).
    Good things:
    * Can run 64-bit programs that use more than 2 GB (Photoshop CS4 will
    be one of these).
    * Can use more than 3 to 3.5 GB of RAM in total
    * Each program can use up to 2 GB (if available)
    * The excess is available for cacheing disk
    Bad things
    * Driver and software availability needs checking. Little things may
    not work (e.g. in Acrobat, PDF preview in icons). Or big things.
    * 64-bit applications will need 64-bit plug-ins
    * Less mainstream, overall support may be more limited if things don't
    work.
    * 64-bit programs are a little larger and use a little more RAM than
    their 32-bit equivalents.
    Myths
    * "64 bit programs will go faster than 32 bit programs". Myth, unless
    the program can make use of more than 2 GB of RAM.
    * "All programs will go faster in 64 bit Windows". Myth, unless the
    extra memory you can use reduces the amount of disk operation.

  • Differences between mcp and mcp t sound

    this is all sound sound info direct from a man at nvidia who knows
    PLEASE NOTE ONLY MCP2-T BOARD MSI DO AT THE MOMMENT IS THE K7N2G-ILSR
    The MCP has no hardware support for audio of any kind, period. Windows and the CPU do all the audio work on that part and there is absolutely no DSP, NVIDIA or otherwise, in that chip to help out. Try to do EAX, any kind of reverb or chorus, or a music preset on those boards and you'll see the CPU usage climb. Ditto if you add more voices to the mix: CPU usage goes up.
    The MCP-T has a full hardware audio DSP, hardware acceleration for 2D and 3D streams, and Dolby Digital encode support. EQs, HRTFs, and all environmental settings are exposed and modifiable by the user. None of this is available on the soft solutions due to the heavy hit on the CPU if they were enabled.
    Short of that, you can try to use the ASIO or OpenAL drivers. You'll find that neither will work on the MCP because there is no supporting hardware for them. In short, there is no way to coax an MCP to be an APU capable part, the support simply isn't in the chip
    Here's the chip differences:
    MCP has the following:
    - ATA-133 x 2 ports
    - USB 1.0/1.1/2.0 x 6 ports
    - NVIDIA MAC 10/100 x 1 port
    - Legacy I/O bus (PS2, Printer, Serial)
    - AC 97 host based audio (no DSP)
    MCP-T includes the above and adds the following:
    - 3Com MAC 10/100 x 1 port
    - 1394A Firewire MAC x 3 ports
    - NVIDIA APU with Dolby Digtal Encoder

    thats not to say mcp is bad as this proves
    The MCP2 is definately hardware sound. As far as the APU goes the only difference between MCP2 and MCP2-T is the T version has Soundstorm(Dolby Digital). Basically Mcp2-T =5.1 digital output capabilities Mcp2 no digital output, analogue output only. The other differences are the T version Has Dual Lan support and a firewire controller which the plain MCP2 does not. Here are my cpu utilization test results from Audio winbench proving that The MCP2 APU is a hardware APU.

  • Difference between setWhereClauseParams and setWhereClause

    Hi All,
    can anyone explain me the difference between setWhereClauseParams and setWhereClause ? and
    difference between setForwardURL and forwardImmediately() ?
    diffrenece between firePartialAction and fireAction?
    Thanks
    Senthur
    Edited by: senthur on Jul 28, 2012 3:55 PM

    Hi Senthur,
    My understanding is as below:
    1) setWhereClauseParams and setWhereClause :
    ===========================================
    setWhereClauseParams: talks about the parameters which we are using in the where clause.
    setWhereClause: talks about the complete where clause it containd parameters & order by clause etc....
    2) setForwardURL and forwardImmediately:
    ========================================
    setForwardURL: when we call this in the page, it will perform the soft close on the current page then forwards to next page.
    forwardImmediately: when we call this in the current page, immediately control will transfer to the next page, without considering the current page state.
    3) firePartialAction and fireAction:
    =====================================
    firePartialAction: when control encounters this, only limited values(from the region which is setup as PPR) will be passed to CO. this will reduce the network traffic.
    fireAction: In this case, all the values from the page will be submitted to CO.

The empty String is just another object though, so seeing it or pointing it out as something special when it actually isn't at all (no more special than new Integer(0) or new Object[0]) just adds to the confusion.

  • Difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD

    Hi,
    Please make me clear about the difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD. In which cases we need to use these modules...??
    Thanks,
    Satish

    I would suggest to always use the GUI_UPLOAD.  I say this because this is the function module which is used in the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.   Really, you should probably use the class/method instead of the function module.
      data: filename type string.
      filename = p_file.
      call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload

  • Difference between char and varchar, also the difference between varchar2

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain me the difference between char and varchar, and also the difference between varchar and varchar2...

    Varchar2 is variable width character data type, so if you define column with width 20 and insert only one character to tis column only, one character will be stored in database. Char is not variable width so when you define column with width 20 and insert one character to this column it will be right padded with 19 spaces to desired length, so you will store 20 characters in the dattabase (follow the example 1). Varchar data type from Oracle 9i is automaticlly promoted to varchar2 (follow example 2)
    Example 1:
    SQL> create table tchar(text1 char(10), text2 varchar2(10))
    2 /
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into tchar values('krystian','krystian')
    2 /
    1 row created.
    SQL> select text1, length(text1), text2, length(text2)
    2 from tchar
    3 /
    TEXT1 LENGTH(TEXT1) TEXT2 LENGTH(TEXT2)
    krystian 10 krystian 8
    Example 2:
    create table tvarchar(text varchar(10))
