Downloaded book pages are almost black with black text

I have downloaded books from Internet Archive (such as: http://archive.org/details/firstrecordsofma00marl ) and the pages have a very dark background with black text. Not easily readable. They are viewable OK on line.
I use Windows XP v3 and Adobe Reader V 9.5
I have also had this problem with books downloaded from Google but usually I can download it a few times and I'll get a readable copy.
I believe these pdf's are good because they were created by Universities and/or Libraries and must have had some sort of vetting.
So I presume it is my Adobe Reader which I have the latest updates. I have books downloaded from years before that are OK (at least they were the last time I looked) so what do I need to make my Adobe work?
Thanks

I have no problems reading that particular book you linked, after downloading it.
First thing to check: was it somehow corrupted during the download? The size of the correctly downloaded PDF is 3,723,338 bytes. Is yours the same size?
Sometimes the graphics driver can also produce such discolorations, but you write that you can view it correctly online, so that should not be a problem.
I viewed the PDF with the latest Adobe Reader 11; perhaps you could also update to Reader XI.

Book pages are missing

what to do if the book is incomplete, al lot of pages are missing????

For others out there with the same problem:
1. Delete the book from you iBook library ( click on "edit" and touch the icon of the book you want to delete).
2. I power down my iPad just to remove all traces, but thats up to you. Then repower up your iPad.
3. Click on the Apps icon and check for updates. Despite my recent update of the iOS for iPad 1, the iBooks did not update for me. This has to be done separately.
4. Once you have updated your iBooks app, sign in to your iBooks account where you should find the book that you purchased. If you just bought the book you might have to wait an hour or two for the account to update.
5. Download the book from you iBooks account. You should have a complete version now. If not, contact the Apple Help to report a problem.

Why is the first page printed fine and subsequent pages are huge type with missed information?

When printing from a website the first page that gets printed is normal: regular size print and it fits on the page. All subsequent pages are large print do not fit on the page and information is missing between printed pages.
This is a recent problem..maybe two-three weeks?

See my answers below:
a) The size of the pages of PDF which you are printing. LETTER
b) Does all pages of the PDF are of same size? YES
c) What is the page size set in the Printer and what is the actual size of the paper which you have put in the tray? LETTER
d) Does this problem also happens on the virtual printer which you might have on your system (Try either Microsoft MPS Document writer or Adobe PDF Printer) No VIRTUAL PRINTERS
Thank you for attempting to help me with this... we have tried everything and haven't been able to resolve the problem.

Video downloads from internet are so slow with Quicktime, any remedies?

Downloads are so slow with Quicktime. Quicktime diagnostics say nothing is wrong. I can put my other Inspiron next to each other and download and this one takes forever. This signal is strong and at the same rate as other Inspiron

I don't think your choppy videos have anything to do w/your computer. I have a G5 iMac and have no problems playing any video including YouTube. However, I am still using the "flawless" Tiger and you are using Leopard. I've seen your problem mentioned quite a few time on the QT board. You may wanna cross-post there also. Since you do not believe your ISP is the issue, make sure you have the following installed:
Flip4Mac
VLC Media Player
Perian (AVI and FLV support)
Adobe Flash Player Software (latest version)
Regarding FireFox. I've noticed a slowness since its last 2 updates. I've had to clear out the caches each day before use to make it faster which is a PITA! Suggest that you post on FF message boards. There are plenty of the same "slowness" complaints from Mac as well as PC users. So it's not just you. The slowness is affecting quite a few folks. The more folks that complain on FF message boards the better.

I just downloaded your update and nothing is working properly, and most pages are completely black. What to do?

I got a popup for an update to Firefox, which I followed to the release notes. I read and downloaded the update. When I restarted Firefox, nothing is working correctly and most pages I try to open, including the Add-On manager displays completely black. I can't access Top Sites, etc. My browser seems completely screwed. It's acting very strangely and I've never had a problem like this before with your browser. HELP!

As Pat said, which PDF Convertor are you reffereing to here? Which adobe application are you using for the same? What's the operating system that you are using?

I have 2 devices, and I inadvertently set up a new account on one. Now I can't download books that are on my Nook to my Android G3 and vice versa. I can't remember the login for the nook. How can I change it?

I inadvertently set up a new account on an android and it doesn't match the ID for a Nook. I cannot share library books between the devices, and I can't remember the login I used for the nook. The nook books appear on my bookshelf from the library, but when I try to download to my android, it won't allow it as it is set up as a different account. The library can't help me and Barnes & Noble can't help me. I need support from Adobe to fix my login.

One suggestion worked from the Firefox prints incorrectly link mentioned above by mha007. I'm thrilled since this has been annoying me for weeks. Thanks mha007!

Web pages are not automatically published. First they are saved as drafts with a .new extension.

Hi,
I am curently using adobe CS3. I am facing this strange
problem where my web pages are being saved with a .new extension
when I am tryign to publish. Everytime I need to go and change the
extension from .cfm.new to .cfm inorder to see the changes made to
the web page. I have even enabled the option so that contribute
does not send the page for reviewing before publsihing. Even after
enabling it I am facine the same problem. And this problem is being
faced by everyone who has publishing rights including the admin.
Can anyone please suggest a way to get rid of the .new extension
after publishing.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

We, too, are having this problem. I see two posts in 2008-07 reporting this, but no answers and nothing via Google.
Details:
1. The web server is a Red Hat Linux / Apache.
2. It seems site-wide: several department webmasters have reported the problem. It may be limited to webs that are using Contribute and check-in/check-out.
3. The only thing I can think might be causing it is that our NTP daemon is broken, and the time of day drifted ~6 minutes (I have since reset the clock by hand).

ADDRESS BOOK & PAGES

I want to use my address book list of contacts for making a Merge address book cards in a Pages document.
It does do the merge, but they do not appear in Alphabetical Order. When using Address Book on its own they do so. The printer is set to print in that mode.
Any ideas please.

Hi:
I'm familiar with this feature. The pocket address book pages are intended to be printed on standard size paper, and then the printout will have tiny guide-lines at the page corners where you should cut with scissors. When all the pages are cut, they can be arranged in alphabetical order and will provide a staggered thumb-flip along one side. The pages should be stapled together on the right side. Feel free to reply if you have more questions.

Book pages view and interface customization.

Hi, everyone.
Adobe's Lightroom 4 has a nice and useful feature in its book module that allows all book pages to be displayed in one large and central pane.
In Aperture while creating a book I have a 'Pages' panel on the left side of the screen and a large panel where individual (or paired) book pages are displayed, I can't seem to find a way to view all book pages in a large browser-style panel as is possible with Lightroom.
Is there a way to do this in Aperture ? Can I have a large browser panel opened and view all page books together ?
Thank you in advance.

Can I have a large browser panel opened and view all page books together ?
No, afaik, sorry.
You can try to make more space fore the "Pages" pane by hiding the Inspector pane, and by rotating the browser and create a layout like this:

Safari 4.0.3 running OSX 10.6.1 - Pages are loading but NOT thumbnails?

Just upgraded to OSX 10.6.1 running Safari 4.0.3 last week - everything was working BEFORE the upgrade - but now for some reason I have an issue where pages ARE loading including larger banners, text flash animations etc, but if the site contains small thumbnails they are not loading.
The icon in the web bar spins and spins for ages and then suddenly where the thumbnails should be I get the blue question make as if the links are broken - which there not as this is happening to well know sites such as youtube gettyimages and ebay and its just to the thumbnails?????
Take ebay for example, the homepage page loads in fine, and if I search for a product - the page with the listing all loads but not the thumbnail images, yet if I click a listing the full page loads without a problem?
Any advice, I have cleared the cookies and javascript database all to no avail?

HI,

HTML tags displayed with the text in "Notification" area

We want to display an HTML formatted message in the "notification" area, but the HTML tags are being escaped and thus are displayed along with the text. We are using Application Express 2.2.1.00.04. The application has been handed off to us to support and we have no experience with APEX. So I hope I am explaining this correctly.
The process to display the message is as follows:
After submission, a page validation fires, which is of type "function returns boolean": "return some_function('P100_MESSAGE',2nd_arg);".
In "Error Message" is "&P100_MESSAGE."
The function returns true when the validation is successful. When validation fails, it returns false, setting 'P100_MESSAGE' to some error message - for example: "<li>Phone number is not numeric</li><li>Email address is not valid</li>".
Our template has this in the body definition:
#NOTIFICATION_MESSAGE##SUCCESS_MESSAGE##BOX_BODY#
As I understand it, #NOTIFICATION_MESSAGE# will be replaced with the value of 'P100_MESSAGE'.
I've displayed 'P100_MESSAGE' on my page to confirm its contents and it is rendered correctly with bullets. But the notification area does not show bullets. It displays the text and the HTML tags.
Is there anything obvious we can do to fix this problem? Thanks

I 've changed P100_MESSAGE to text field, text field (disabled, saves state), text field (disabled, does not save state), and textarea, display as text, etc. It is originally set to Hidden type (because it is only to be displayed in the notification area). But changing it to various types makes no difference as to how it is displayed in the notification area. Of course, when it's not hidden, then it's also displayed on the page, among to other page elements,which is not acceptable.
Thanks-

Can I copy a form with spry text fields?

I have two forms that are almost identical with the exception of a few fields. Instead of completely redoing the 2nd form I would like to just save the document in dreamweaver with a new name and change/add the fields I need. I've used spry text fields though. Will I have any issues with just copying and then changing this form as far as the spry files are concerned or am I just better off creating a whole new form?

Keep in mind that form field names need to exactly match your form-processing script.
Spry was abandoned by Adobe in late 2012. Since I don't use Spry for anything, I can't honestly say if the form validation will continue to work or not. I much prefer the ease of HTML5 form validation alone or with jQuery for older browsers.

So my answer is rebuild with HTML5 forms.
