Drop Shadows problem in Acrobat Reader & Professional

Hi all,
We have a problem with Acrobat, when we open an pdf which has drop shadow over a background seems to be white patch around the dropshadow.
Attempt done:
First Attempt: Opened the PDF in acrobat professional 7, when we switch on overprint option this seems to be good but when I print I got the white patch around the dropshadow.
Second Attempt: Opened the PDF in Acrobat Reader 9.0, it has white patch and print has white patch.
Third Attempt: Opened the PDF in Acrobat Professional 8, when we switch on overprint option looks fine and print fine.
Client want the pdf should be compatible in Acrobat Reader.
Note: This PDF was generated with 3b2 Software we cannot switch over the software to Indesign.
Any suggestion related to this issue.

The overprint settings would need to be set in the source file and preserved when generating the pdf. Based on the information from the uploaded file, you might try Arbortext Advanced Print Publisher support.

  • Collation problem in Acrobat Reader X

    I have a collation problem with Acrobat Reader X and HP LaserJet M2727 nf (using HP Universal Printing PCL 6 driver)
    When printing multiple copies of a PDF, the result is always in the order 1,2,3 1,2,3 etc. (for a 3 page document for example)
    This is the case even when I uncheck the default collate option.
    How can I disable the collation option in this version?
    Thanks,
    Eran

    HELP!  This is a killer problem.   Everyone is banking on PDF documents and Adobe Reader.  YOU CAN NOT IGNORE THIS ANY MORE!
    There was a registry setting in Reader 8 to force host collation.. it doesn't work any more.  Please respond immediately !!!!

  • How to update a version 6.0 of Acrobat Reader Professional when upgrading windows XP to 8.1 ?

    How to update a version 6.0 of Acrobat Reader Professional when upgrading windows XP to 8.1 ?

    There is no product called Acrobat Reader Professional. There are two possibilities with different answers.
    1. You have Acrobat Professional (no "Reader"). You will have to buy the latest, Acrobat 11 (XI) Pro. No upgrade pricing is available for version 8.
    2. You have Adobe Reader (no "Professional"). You can download the latest free Adobe Reader http://get.adobe.com/reader

  • Using Bridge to Camera Raw to Open Image button also drop shadow problems

    I remember when I was working with RAW in PSE 8. I would be in Bridge looking at a pic and double click on it. PSE 8 would open in Camera RAW and I could play with the pic a bit, make some adjustments, then click on OPEN IMAGE. When I did that it would open in PSE and it would be in jpg format. With this PSE 9 and the updated Camera RAW 6.3, when I punch OPEN IMAGE I still have a picture labeled .CR2 which I think still means RAW. When I double click in Bridge the .CR2 pic shows as 8 bit depth. I can do a little more work on it and use SAVE AS. When I do that, the sample file name that shows is still in .CR2 format and I must change that to .jpg and then below change from PHOTOSHOP to JPEG to save my file as a jpg file. Is there something that I have to change in preferences to get it to open the image in jpg format when I hit the OPEN IMAGE button? Or, is this an "improvement" with RAW 6.3? Also, I seem to be having trouble adding a drop shadow (or any other effects) on jpeg pics. At least it doesn't show up on the screen after I apply it. I just recently updated to Camera RAW 6.3 and updated my Operating system on my iMac computer to OS 10.6.6. I emailed this request to my good friend with an identical setup on his iMac and he is having the same response when performing the above operations. Any ideas what the problem might be?

    Okay, previously you seem to have been using the bridge version of camera raw to edit your raw photos. That has many more options than the PSE version of the raw converter. (If you still have PSE 8, you can see the difference by using File>Open in the editor to open a raw photo for the PSE version of ACR, which works the same way in PSE 9.) In PSE's raw converter, you use the Open button, then save your photo in an image format in the editor. The Save button in ACR in PSE is only the DNG converter.
    Layer styles should work exactly the same way as in PSE 8. However, in any version of PSE a drop shadow, like a real shadow, needs someplace to fall, so unless there is empty space on the layer, it won't appear. Try creating text or drawing and simplifying a shape and adding a drop shadow. Does it appear then?
    Also remember that Jpegs won't let you save either layers or transparency when you resave the file.

  • Color saturation problem in Acrobat Reader 7.0.9 under Linux

    Hi,
    I'm working with a guy who is producing PDFs of my work with Indesign.
    Using acrobat reader under Linux (version 7.0.1 and also 7.0.9), the colours in these PDFs always appear very saturated. This is a big problem for me because I cannot see with the reference viewer the results of PDFs to be sent to print.
    I tried the same pdf file under OS X & Windows, it appears OK with Acrobat reader. Other free pdf readers under Linux also show the right colours (but not always the transparency ;-).
    Does anybody has an idea to help me?
    @Adobe people: in case you want to test, I drop a copy of my PDF file at: http://cardot.net/files/pdfcolours.pdf (2.24 MB)
    Thanks in advance
    Jean-Christophe Cardot

    We are able to reproduce color saturation problem at our end. We have noted down and will work on this.
    Thanks.

  • Drop shadow problem

    Hi,
    We face the below mentioned problem. Would be great if someone could help us.
    Due to problems with uploading the attachment here, please send a email to the following email-id ([email protected]) and I shall send the attachment in response.
    Problem Description: Clicking dropshadow in air component should bring focus to other application behind the air application.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Open any applications in full screen. ( ex : MSWord, Notepad )
    2. Run the DropShadow sample.
    3. Click the shadow portion in the panel component.
    Actual Result: Clicking the shadow area in the panel component is setting focus to the same DropShadow application.
    Expected Result: If some other application are opened in fullscreen ,then clicking the shadow area in the panel component should change the focus to the applications which is behind DropShadow application.
    Thanks in advance.

    After looking at your code your application is behaving as it should.  Essentially your flash element is defining a drop shadow.  It is part of your application therefore when the user clicks on it, it's like clicking on the rest of the application.
    Some programming languages get around this by using regions and relying on the operating system to generate the drop shadow (when available.)  For instance in a C# application you would define a region, clip everything outside of it (so that it is transparent) and then use the windows API to shadow your application.  When using the API the OS then uses it's rules to define whether you clicked on the application or not.  This also leads to all sorts of weirdness when you have anti aliased window shapes (curves and the like) and do not want them to look terrible.
    So AIR applications handle this by allowing you to have completely transparent windows if the underlying window manager supports it.  The drawback then is that you are not using the OS to define your shadows and so your shadows are part of the application window and clickable.  On the plus side AIR allows for a great bit of flexibility that is not so easily attained in other ways.  (I once lost about 2 weeks of my life on a C# app just getting rounded edges to not look extremely horrible.)
    For an illustration consider if you created a custom popup menu that was 50% transparent.  For all intents and purposes to AIR that is identical to the drop shadow you are creating here however in that instance you would want it clickable etc.
    Hope that helps!

  • AI to Fireworks drop shadow problem

    Hi,
    I'm importing .AI files into Fireworks in order to export them as .pngs because the raster quality is better than out of .ai,
    One of my files has a white box with a 100% black drop shadow on a grey background. In AI it looks fine, but when I open the file in Fireworks the shadow appears white, a bit like a glow.
    The shadow is set to 'Multiply' and has worked in other files.
    Any ideas why it's doing this? It's only on this file.
    See below:
    Thanks
    C

    This is a bit off-topic, but it relates to how Illustrator and Fireworks sometimes handle rasterization of vector objects differently, and I thought you might find it interesting. (This was done using Illustrator CS2 and FW8; I can't say whether CS5 behaves the same way or not.)
    The basic question is this: Where does a 1-pixel stroke belong on a vector object that's aligned to a bitmap grid?
    In Illustrator, with Snap to Pixel enabled (in Pixel Preview mode), the vector itself is aligned to the bitmap grid, and a 1-pixel stroke is balanced across both sides of the vector—appearing in effect as a lighter, 2-pixel, anti-aliased stroke. The result looks very imprecise. You can fix this by setting the Keyboard Increment (in Preferences) to 0.5 pixels, turning Snap to Pixel off, and nudging the object a half pixel in each direction using your keyboard arrow keys: Now the stroke, not the vector, is aligned to the bitmap grid.
    Theoretically, you should be able to adjust stroke position to handle this issue; however, I found that setting the Stroke to "Inside" produced an unexpected bit of anti-aliasing on one side of my rectangle. (This type of problem may have been fixed in a newer version of Illustrator.*)
    In Fireworks, vector objects tend to snap to the pixel grid automatically, as do strokes. But how can FW do this? After all, the default stroke position is center-aligned, just as it is in Illustrator. Well, it turns out that the application is willing to bend the rules a bit: A 25-pixel square with a 1-pixel stroke applied to it still only occupies 25 pixels on the grid, because Fireworks moves the stroke to the inside of the object. It cheats. Once you bump up the stroke weight to 2 pixels, the stroke alignment reverts to center. At 3 pixels, the stroke remains center-aligned but becomes anti-aliased, too.
    So anyway... I hadn't really sat down with Illustrator's Pixel Preview mode before. Despite the issues above, I think it's kind of neat in that it's like a window into the world of Fireworks and pixel grids. (In Fireworks, by contrast, you don't have the option of seeing vectors rendered smoothly at any zoom level, as in Illustrator's standard view mode.) I can't recall whether Preferences can be saved in a Workspace, but View settings can at least be saved as part of a template file, and you could probably set up a de facto workspace for working with pixels in Illustrator in a relatively short amount of time. This could help you avoid surprises when using "Save for Web" (as described in the article to which you linked).
    *Later, I was able to fix the "stroke inside" rendering problem in Illustrator by setting the stroke to .99px instead of 1px.

  • Fax and scan problem with Acrobat Reader DC

  • Indesign CS4 button flashes after exported to PDF and viewed in Acrobat Reader/Professional X

    Hey everyone,
    Greetings!
    I've encountered this odd problem when preparing my portfolio.
    I've created some 40 buttons in InDesign CS4 (all according to the official tutorial) to Show/Hide Fields (specificly images), and navigate through the pages.
    The buttons all have their own Normal and Rollover states, but no Click states.
    After exporting the file to PDF, I tested the buttons in Acrobat Reader 9 and Acrobat Pro 9, and both the actions and the states worked fine.
    BUT that's not the case with Acrobat Reader X or Acrobat Pro X.
    The actions are still there, showing the images and navigating, but the states are not!
    The buttons' rollover states just flashes when the mouse hover above them, and even in Normal state, they kept *blinking* randomly.
    Frustrated for a week.
    PS. I suspected and used a Indesign file with only one simple button to rule out the following:
    1. Overlapping buttons
    2. Slow processing due to large image size
    3. Mishandling of transparency
    At this moment I'm pretty sure it's an Acrobat thing...Help!

    Thanks Dave! I was in the middle of writing this when your post came in:
    Not sure if this will help anyone, but I changed the button fill color to white and it seemed to fix the flicker. I exported each state from indesign as a PDF and recreated the button from scratch. This still had the flicker. I'm guessing something strange is happening with the transparancy of the states.
    Glad to hear it's fixed!

  • Problem with Acrobat Reader Browser Control (LoadFile)

    Hi
    I am trying to use the Acrobat Reader Browser ActiveX Control to show a PDF file in a window from my application but I am finding a problem. It all works fine, unless I have the exact same PDF file open in Acrobat Reader at the same time. If I have the exact same PDF file open, the Browser Control appears to completely fail when I tell it to LoadFile. No errors are raised, but the control simply appears as a white rectangle with no controls at all. In fact, it is the same appearance that it has if you don't call LoadFile at all.
    I have Reader 9.3.4, I am using VB6, I have drawn an instance of the control at design time. I am only calling LoadFile, like this
    Private Sub Form_Load()
        AcroPDF1.LoadFile "c:\mypdf.pdf"
    End Sub
    I have read the OLE parts of the interapplication developer guide and the interapplication communication api reference and I can't see that I am doing anything wrong.
    Can anyone help? Is this perhaps a known problem in Reader?
    Thanks in advance
    Mark

    Hi everyone,
    I have found a workaround, inspired by another post about LoadFile problems. Rather than LoadFile I am now using the "src" property of the control. This works even when the PDF file is open in Acrobat Reader. My code is now
    Private Sub Form_Load()
        AcroPDF1.src = "c:\mypdf.pdf"
    End Sub
    I don't understand why this should work, but it does.
    Thanks
    Mark

  • Problem uninstalling Acrobat Reader 9.0

    Hi,
    I upgraded to Acrobat Reader 9.0 a while ago but due to internet access I believe the upgrade did not complete properly and now I am left with a corrupt install of Acrobat Reader. I tried to remove it using Add or Remove Programs but it says that this is not a valid Windows package. I tried to remove the Adobe folder from C:\Program Files and removed it finally but now I cannot download the latest Acrobat reader using Adobe Download Manager.
    So basically how can i clean my system of any existing Adobe Reader files so that I can do a clean install?

    You may be able to use the MS cleanup utility to fix the registry problems. Other than that, you might just try to reinstall it and the uninstall again. For further questions about Reader, ask in the Reader forum. The product is called Adobe Reader, NOT Acrobat Reader. This latter name has been gone for about 4 versions, to avoid the confusion I assume. Acrobat is the full product at a cost.

  • Illustrator - drop shadow problem

    Hi,
    There is probably a really simple way to solve this but I can't work it out.
    I have 6 brochure covers on the page, and I want to apply a drop shadow to all of them. When I do apply it however all images get darker, almost as if the shodow is being applied over the top rather then underneath. I have tired 'bring to front' etc, so that's not the issue. I've also tried placing a white box underneath the image, but thats not working either.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    To what are you applying the drop shadow? Also, if the background  colour of the covers is white, make sure you are not just using the  default white background Illustrator provides, but that you have created  a white-filled rectangle for the page.
    Please post a  screen shot screen shot. Turn on Transparency Grid (view menu) first.

  • Problem installing acrobat reader

    I have attempted on several occasions to install acrobat reader to an HP Elitebook running Windows 7 Professional.  Each time I get the same error message:
    Any ideas?

    This often happens if some other installation (e.g. Windows Update) is already running.
    Restart Windows, then run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Problem installing Acrobat Reader Pro in Mavericks

    Acrobet keeps crashing and I get "configuration error 16." I have deinstalled and reinstalled, but still doesn't work. I'm working on a new MacBook Air 11" with Mavericks and this is a first installatoin. I had no problem on my old MacBook Air 13" also with Mavericks.

    Thank you for the reply. I'm afraid I was unclear - it's a problem with Acrobat XI Pro, not Acobat Reader. My mistake. The link you provided was just for Reader. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

  • Strrange problem with Acrobat Reader 9 and power loss

    Hello,
    I have a Lenovo T61P (6457-A26) with Windows XP, and I have found a very strange behaviour with Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.
    Sometimes I open a PDF, and I read one or two pages, and then my laptop has a problem like a power loss (remove of the batter).
    I can read those PDF on other PC/MAC/Linux, ... no problem at all.
    So I'm thinking about an incompatibility with my laptop and Acrobat Reader...
    So for now, I've installed another PDF viewer (FoxIt), and I can open my PDF without fearing this lost of power...
    Did somebody experienced something like that? If yes, are there some solutions?
    Alessandro

    1. It happens with any file i want to open in browser.
    2. The Problem is specific to browser. When I open a document in the Reader application everithing works fine.
    kind regards
    Marcel
