Embedded graphics show as blank grey rectangles

OS is Windows 8.1 x64. Since upgrading to Reader 11.0.10, PDFs opened in Reader that have graphics embedded in the pages just show blank grey rectangles where the graphics should be. There's nothing wrong with the PDFs, as when I open them with Mupdf or TeXworks they display as they should, with the graphics visible. Any suggestions on a possible cause or fix?
Screen dumps of one such file when opened with Reader (Dropbox - reader.png) and TeXworks (Dropbox - texworks.png).

Thanks, that fixed the problem. However, I've never touched this setting before, so either the update to 11.0.10 changed this setting from checked to unchecked, or the size of image at which it takes effect changed with the update, as quite a number of the PDFs that had this problem with 11.0.10 displayed embedded images without any problem with previous versions of Reader XI

  • Pages is not responding.  Showing a blank grey screen?

    Any suggestions?

    Sounds more like your Mac is showing a blank grey screen. Is anything else working? Have you tried rebooting?
    btw I helps to actually provide some details, we are just appaulingly bad guessers here and a quick look around you will confirm that we are not looking over your shoulder at what is going on.
    No Pages version. No OSX version. No background to what lead up to this. No description of how you installed Pages. No description of what you were trying to open. So a full house of non-description.

  • "Imported" images are on disk but show up as grey rectangles in Lightroom 4 and 5

    All of a sudden, images "imported" into Lightroom 4 started showing up only as gray rectangles.  The first set of images on the card had been "imported" with no issues.  The second set of uploads (different images) have always shown up as gray rectangles (from the first "import").  Same result when I removed the Lightroom folder and used a card reader instead of straight from the camera.  I tried images from another card in another camera and got the same result, so it seems like a software issue.    In hopes of fixing the problem, I upgraded to Lightroom 5 (it was time anyway).  But the upgrade of the original Lightroom 4 catalog to a Lightroom 5 catalog did not solve the problem.  Based on my research on this site, I trashed and replaced my Preferences file but everything remains gray rectangles.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    First thing to try is to recalibrate your display. This is often caused by a bad display profile. Second thing is to delete the previews on your images and have Lightroom rebuild them.

  • Lab Manager console is disconnected and shows a blank grey screen

    Hello,
    I am trying to solve an issue in Lab Manager v4.0 (no update 1) that is perplexing me.  I am simply trying to show or view an open console in Lab manager using IE6. I am prompted to install the MKS add-on (quickMksAx.dll) and I can that no problem.  When I try to "show" the console view it pauses for a few seconds and then displays "The console is disconnected" wiht a bland grey background.  I have spent several hours searching for a solution on google but to no avail.  I have tried these documented workarounds on the VMware website but again to no avail.  Any help would be much appreciated.  There are several users in our company that will access Lab Manager via IE6 exclusively.  I need to know what settings to change in IE to get around this problem.  One important note, this only happens when I connect to Lab Manager 4.0.  Works fine on Lab Manager v3. 
    I attached a jpg showing the error screen.
    Thank you in advance!

    I'm running LabManager 4.04 with IE9 and Firefox 10.x. The Black Windows Screen is sometimes there sometimes not.
    The Browsers more or less doenst react when connecting and then the Console Window through mks-plugin is there and sometimes
    the black window appears.
    I first thought some problems with a local firewall and checked the logfile but none of the ports and ip destinations show up as blocked.
    Then i checked the system with the process explorer. The mks plugin exe doesnt seem to start when the black window appears.
    When the Console is visible the vmware plugin starts up and is availabe in the process monitor.
    The Plugin writes logfiles in the logged in users Appdata\Local\vmware....\vmware-%username%-xxxx.txt but first when it could be started.
    I havent checked by now the following possible reasons
    - Identical Systemtime
    - DNS Resolution of ESX-Hosts
    - Webconsole Interface vCenter
    But why does it work sometimes and sometimes not the possible reasons doesnt fit to Identical Systemetime, DNS-Resolution and Webconsole..
    If these reseans are responsible it shouldnt work at all and not the sometimes it does and sometimes it dont

  • Okular presentation mode shows only blank grey screen (using Xmonad)

    I have a problem getting the presentation mode of Okular to work. When I select presentation mode, the screen is covered by a grey window with nothing in it. The only way to get rid of this window is by killing it from the window manager (i.e. the normal "exit presentation mode" shortcut (esc) doesn't work).
    I am using Xmonad as a window manager (using the KDEWM environment variable).
    It has been working before, but I don't know which update broke it.
    I am running KDE 4.5.2 and Xmonad 0.9.1.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    -Toke

    I haven't found a way to make it stop doing that, but when the grey screen appears, pressing "B" twice seems to solve it, and make the normal presentation mode appear. (B is bound to "Switch to blackscreen mode").
    This makes okular usable for presentations for me...
    Thanks!

  • Thumbnails show up blank

    When I try to look through my photos, the thumbnails and events show a blank, grey screen. When I double click the photo to see it larger, it shows an exclamation point. I tried restarting my computer, restarting iPhoto but it still does not work. I am not sure how to fix this.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That's an indication that iPhoto has lost the file path to the original photos. Backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.

  • Framemaker 9 Graphics Show Grey Boxes Half way through Doc

    Hello,
    I am using Framemaker 9 (service pack 2, windows XP) with a ~5000 page document, thie document has lots of embedded Graphics.When create a PS (postscript file) about half of the way through the PDF file the figures  Show Grey Boxes. This occurs using either the Framemaker save as PDF file or when printing to a PS. An error message apprears "Cannot Print Some Imported Graphics", I click OK and the systems creatse the PS file.  When viewing PDF the grey boxes appear.  Now for the interesting anomaly, I delete the first 2500 pages and the PS and PDF files are fine. If I delete only 1000 pages the grey boxex occur later in the document.
    Any help on this is appreciated,
    Nick

    same error occurs on computer with Service pack 3

    Ah, 1gig of RAM. Unfortunately I don't think that's going to cut it in FM9, not for that large a size document. You might try rebooting, not turning on any other app like e-mail, and see if you can manage it then, but I'd doubt it.
    Even though the job works with FM7,   FM 9 has substantially more features that could definitely require more  RAM, e.g. the unicode features alone.
    Here's a comparison in Task Manager on my XP system:
    FM9 running without a doc open shows as approx 110,320 K
    FM7 running without a doc open shows as approx 34,508 K
    Other questions:
    in your FrameMaker Preferences (File > Preferences) do you have "Save FrameImage..." turned off? If not, that will add exponentially to the memory use. A couple of other things that might save some memory:
    FM automatically loads the Windows Character Map app. You can find it listed in your Task Manager. To save some memory you can disable this, following info in this thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/click.jspa?searchID=3832601&objectType=2&objectID=2325331
    AND, here's another REALLY important thing to test: you want to test using FM without any of the Workspaces open. The workspaces definitely add time and memory usage in FM9. Doesn't matter whether you actually use any number of variables or markers or whatever in the doc, just the work that FM has to do to scan the entire doc to update these panels takes an enormous amount of effort.
    Being sure that all the workspaces are really closed can be a bit tricky; I'll post instructions in a separate post.

  • When browsing a new library that I created, the browser shows dotted lines around grey rectangles, no images. When I double click on a rectangle the image appears. How do I get images to appear in the browser rectangles?

    When browsing a new library that I created and exported onto an external hard drive, the browser shows dotted lines around grey rectangles, no images. When I double click on a rectangle, the image appears, but all the other rectangles remain empty - no image. How do I get images to appear in the browser rectangles? I am viewing this on a second computer (an older intel duo iMac), not the one I created the library on (a MacBook Pro). Both computers have Aperture 3.2.4 installed. When I return the external to the MacBook, all images appear in browser rectangles. What's happening on the iMac?

    You may have a problem with the permissions on your external volume. Probably you are not the owner of your library on the second mac.
    If you have not already done so, set the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag on your external volume. To do this, select the volume in the Finder and use the Finder command "File > Get Info" (or ⌘I).
    In the "Get Info" panel disclose the "Sharing & Permissions" brick, open the padlock, and enable the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag. You will have to authentificate as administrator to do this.
    Then run the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" on this library and repair the permissions. To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the ⌥⌘-key combination while you double click your Aperture Library. Select "Repair Permissions" and run the repair; then repeat with "Repair Database". Do this on the omputer where you created the library and where you can see the thumbnails.
    Then check, if you now are able to read the library properly on your iMac.
    Regards

  • After installing windows 8.1 all images in LR5 show up as blank grey, regardless of catalog.

    As title says, after I installed Windows 8.1 all the images in LR5.4 show up as a blank grey color. Doesn't matter which catalog, or module. This includes on import, etc.

    Broken monitor profile, most like.
    Try reprofiling your monitor, or - as a test - setting it to sRGB and restarting your machine/Lightroom.

  • Embedded Graphics do not show in Links Panel?

    I'm guessing this is an embedded graphic. I received a packaged file for print, all is fine, but I'm pondering the "image" shown. (I was curious how they formatted the rules and type and started selecting)
    After removing everything else from the document, Find Font show no fonts used; the links panel is empty; info for the frame lists nothing; it is not outlined type. One layer; show hidden characters is on.
    The file package report lists Links and Images: 1 link (a stock photo used on page 1), 0 missing, 0 embedded.

    I've been playing with building my own "Info" panel. It isn't as pretty as the built-in one, but it gives me better "raw" file format information in some cases. It would be interesting to see what it reports as the object type, if you want to send me your doc ...

  • 10.1 Update - WinXP - PDF in IE shows blank (grey) page

    Hello everyone,
    after we rolled out the update to 10.1 some of our users, as well as some of our customers experience problems viewing PDF Files within Internet Explorer.
    As you click a PDF, the Browser just shows a dark grey page, rest is blank.
    I tried a few things:
    - If you press F5 while viewing the blank page, the PDF suddenly shows up.
    - Repairing / Reinstalling fixes the problem, but only until you reboot.
    - Changing some settings, like protected mode also fixes the problem... still it only lasts until the reboot.
    From what I can tell, I only see Windows XP Users affected, and only Internet Explorer users. Mostly are Version 6 and 7 (which we need on a handful of PCs due to compatibility issues, but only use it for internal applications). I also heard from some IE8 users that the problem occures (most probably when compatibility mode is on I guess).
    Firefox and our Windows 7 Users with IE8 and 9 seem not affected.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I wish I had an answer for you but I am having the exact same issue. We use a web based app for our expense reporting and viewing the reciepts does the exact same thing. The first reciept actually opens just fine but if you want to go and view another one it just pops up a grey screen. if you close concur and go back in then it will open it. Like you said it works if you his f5 to refresh or with the grey screen still open you can hit the Reciepts button again and it opens.
    If you figure out what it is please re-post!
    Thanks!

    grey screen no apple followed by blue screen with vertical lines. Graphics and logic board replaced <6 months ago. What to do? I held down shift, it gets HOT HOT and makes noises. (for safety mode) followed by a blank grey screen and blue screen. Then tried the other way (sorry, I think  it's command alt delete? I don't remember) and it turned from grey (no apple symbol) to blue blank. Then third time, grey followed by blue with vertical lines, not blocky clear lines that you can see if you are close to it.
    Thanks for any help!

    You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.

  • Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal

    Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal Pre icon, File, Edit, Clip, etc.
    I am planning on purchasing Premier Elements 13, would it be better if I bought a new program rather than download an upgrade, just in case the upgrade doesn't load properly due to the error with my existing program?
    If I the deleted Premier Elements 9 on my PC would I lose all my existing videos that were produced using Premier Elements 9 or would they be saved so that they can still be worked on in Premier Elements 13?
    Does Premier Elements 13 work with Windows 7?
    Thanks
    Terry

    Premiere Elements 13 absolutely works with Windows 7!
    In fact, I'd highly recommend you download the free trial and give it a test run.
    Meantime, go to Windows Update and make sure you have all of the latest Windows updates, including those that don't install automatically. Then go to the nVidia or ATI site and ensure you have the latest driver for your graphics card, and go to Apple.com and ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.
