Excel Preview App: Sign-In line

When I tested the Excel Preview App I noticed a line on top that says "Sign in to get more functions" (translated back from german). This comes back on every start. How can I disable it? - So noone can say I didn't shared my feedback about this.

I'm having the same problem. This seems to affect my files when they go through the "PDF Presentation..." automation.

  • Excel Web App gives 404 when using Sharepoint's Interactive Preview mode

    I'm trying to open the Office Web apps in Sharepoint's Interactive Preview mode.
    This works like a charm for, for example, Word and Powerpoint.

    Google hasn't been very helpful to me for this issue, is there anyone who has experienced a similar problem?

  • My App Store App, Preview App and a few others won't open!

    Recently, my App Store App, the Preview App, Calendar App, Pages & Numbers Apps, to name a few just wont open and run.  Even the Mail App, albeit opens, but wont run properly. 
    Ive remember seeing someone with the same problem, but im unable to findthe link again for how it was resolved.
    Ultimately i could reinstall Snow Leopard again from my current copy of Mavericks (As i believe is the problem), however it would mean a complete fresh copy.  If i did this, is it straight forward to copy all my info on Time machine back over onto the new system?  Or more importantly, will Time Machine overwright & copy the corrupt copies that currently reside on my Mac?
    Any advice or options to this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Thx

  • Preview app freezing and slowing down MBP

    Since I updated to OS Mavericks my preview app has not been functioning properly. When the app is open when viewing PDFs a window (accompanied by a progress bar) pops up quite frequently that says "Saving changes... '#' documents remaining", with the # sign representing any number of documets. Often, the number of documents "remaining to be saved" progressively increases from 1 to 8 or so, despite there being only one document open. While the app is doing these "auto saves" my computer is slowed down significantly and while these interuptions occur I am usually unable to do anything else.
    I will also add that the size of the PDF files that I view are rather large, on average 70-80 MB, although I'm not sure if that is the reason for the issue because before I updated to Mavericks I didn't have this problem. And the problem does also seem to occur with smaller sized files as well.
    My computer usage is usually minimal when this occurs, typically only Safari is open in the background. I was advised to reset my SMC, which I did, but the problem is still occurring. Any additional advice or solutions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Update: The Preview app is using a lot of memory and I don't know why.
    With activity monitor on, I notice that the memory usage for the app spikes considerably when viewing PDFs, especially when I scroll, exactly the same problem as you, loveceratops. When a PDF is initially openend, the activity monitor shows memory usage around 50 MB, but when I scroll within the PDF the memory usage shoots all the way up to 500 or 600 MB. It's at this point that the glitches preciptating in Preview begin to occur.
    I've tried deleting/recreating the preview app's ".plist" files in the "Preferences" and "Containers" folders, but that has not solved the issue. I want to try to reinstall Preview, and I just might, but I'm also considering reinstalling OS Mavericks since that may be easier; but I'm concerned that the same problem would still keep happening since I'd be recovering all my files from Time Machine after the reinstall.
    Any help solving this issue would be much appreciated, thanks in advance. This is a very frustrating problem.

    I have just experienced this exact same issue.
    I have been adding text notes and highlighting to a PDF document that is saved on an external USB drive.  When I left work yesterday I told preview to save the changes.  I did notice the Saving Changes dialog appear and before I left it said 3 documents remainin, even though I only had one document open in preview.  My USB drive was connected and mounted when I left work.
    On my return in the morning I noticed that the Saving Changes dialog had not gone away.  For some reason my USB drive was unmounted and I had the OS X message about ejecting drives before disconnecting them so I re-seated the USB cable and my drives remounted.  Immeditately after doing this the Saving Changes dialog in preview started counting up from 3 to 8.  It is now sitting at 8 and the progress bar is empty.
    I had a look in Console and did not notice anything strange.  I also grabbed a sample of the Preview process using Activity Monitor but I have little clue what to look for.  Whilst I was running console and activity monitor and such I did notice that the Saving Changes dialog has climbed further to 14 now and it appears to increase whenever I bring preview into focus or move away from preview.  I appear to have no option but to force quit preview so that I may continue working.
    My PDF document is 26.5M.
    I have a Macbook Air (13-inch, Mid 2011), 1.7GHz i5 with 4GB RAM running OSX Mavericks 10.9.1.

  • Preview app not working in 10.10.2

    Ever since upgrading to 10.10.2 the Mac Preview app has not been working correctly.  Any file I create in it (a scan, a print-to-PDF, a screen-shot, or the like) cannot be saved.  It gives me a message to the effect that the file cannot be saved because the file does not exist. Meanwhile the file is clearly visible on screen and fully functional otherwise.  There are no write-only issues going on that I can see.  Now today Preview couldn't even create a screen-shot, giving me the message that "Your screenshot could not be saved.  Unable to create screenshot."
    Has anyone else had this issue?  And is there a way to remove and reinstall Preview without reinstalling the whole OS?
    System details: iMac, 8GB ram, OSX 10.10.2, Preview 8.0 (859.7), 700GB of free disk space.

    Thanks for the reply.  Here is the Console data output after trying to save a file.  (Response was the same "File cannot be saved.  File does not exist.")
    A couple of things I note in here:
    The last line in the output is interesting to me--it refers to a file that I saved (or tried to save) about 2 weeks ago, but that I haven't touched since that time.  Makes me think this file is somehow stuck in a queue somewhere and blocking all subsequent actions. 
    I should also mention that there's a lot of mention of Dropbox in here.  I use Dropbox, but was not actually trying to save to it with the file just now.

  • Preview App printing problem

    Running 10.6.8 on a Quad-Core PowerMac with Canon IP2600 printer via USB.
    Thought I was running out of ink at first, but a closer look shows documents printed from Preview.app are printing only outlines of black characters and black graphics as if everything is in an outline font. At first it was the lower 2/3rds of the page, then 3/4s, now it's the entire page printing black in faint outlines only, very precise (while color logos print normally).
    These docs are PNGs. The same PNG prints perfectly in Photoshop. So I created a doc in Photoshop with two thick, solid, vertical black lines; saved and printed as a PNG and as a JPEG, both print fine in Photoshop. When opened and printed in Preview, both print as a series of very thin rectangular outlines running down the page.
    Started happening out of the blue a few days ago, so I trashed three Preview pref files (showing recent modification dates), restarted and nothing changed. Do I need to reinstall the app? Can't think of any recent changes that might've affected Preview or the printer, no updates or installs in the past few weeks. Preview displays onscreen as it's supposed to.....
    Anybody have a clue what's going on here? The only other Preview.app printing problem I can find has to do with printer color profiles.....
    Thank you for any suggestions, I'm stumped!
    Mike

    Well..... duh!
    The real mystery is why docs in Photoshop continued printing long after Preview had quit printing those SAME docs. Photoshop never did fail to print - but a new ink tank/print head solved the problem.
    Good thing ya can't LOSE points for asking stupid questions, huh.
    D'oh!

  • 'Preview' app not supported on this type of Mac

    When I'm trying to launch the 'Preview' app (either from Launchpad, or by clicking any image/pdf file twice), the following message appears:
    You can't open the application "Preview" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
    The last time it worked fine was two weeks ago. No new applications installed, no hardware changes. Restarting the Mac does not help. Disk utility permissions check done, permissions repaired.
    I can still launch the 'Preview' app by double-clicking Preview in
    /Applications/Preview/Contents/MacOS/
    (I have to click 'Show Package Contents' in the context menu of the 'Preview' app in Applications to see its content)
    The 'Preview' app is the only application with a white-grey prohibition sign on its icon. All the other applications work fine.
    Please help.

    Thanks, Drew Reece. This is the 'Get info' screenshot.
    I will try to reinstall the OS then.
    It is even funny how fragile the OS is. I guess the simple update to 10.9 have broken the 'Preview' app...
    UPDATE:
    I don't see a way to backup the OS w/o a TimeMachine. I would not like to change logical structure of the hard drive.

  • Why does Preview app .fail to open ?

    When trying to open up an image using preview, I keep getting a message  ' The application "Preview app" is not open any more '.Consequently any image I try to open fails- The only way I have found to temporarily restore the application is to shut down & restart the computer ( not very efficient !!) but the problem reoccurs.

  • Can I create a working preview app without creating a certificate etc?

    All I need to do is create a working preview app for one tablet (Android - Galaxy 10.1) to be viewed as a company presentation only on that one tablet. It's an 80 page InDesign document with interactivity, hyperlinks, video, and I'm wondering if I have to go through the whole process of registering, certificates etc. just to do this?

    You have to create an Adobe ID and connect it to DPS here https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/welcome.html.
    Then you'll sign into the Folio Build in InDesign with those credentials and upload the folio to the Distribution Server.
    Then you'll use the same credentials to sign into the Adobe Content Viewer. After signing in, your folio that you uploaded will be available to download.

  • Can't Open iBookm Preview, App Store and other apps after upgrading to mavericks. PELASE HELP!

    Well,
    I Can't open several apps, as for example, iBooks, Preview, or App Store!
    I can't read pdf's or open books, cant's see images or anything that uses preview app.
    Can't go to App Store to look for any available update.
    Please help!

    First attempt a clean install...
    http://mashable.com/2013/10/23/clean-install-os-x-mavericks/
    If this doesn't work, which it didn't in my case, then download
    Pacifist.

    You will need a copy of the Maverick installer.
    Use Pacificst to " Open Apple Intallers"
    The go to Contents of Mavericks->Contents of EssentialSystemSoftware->Contents of Essentials.pkg->Applications
    Then Click on the programs that don't seem to be working and insall. This helped me update certain applications that weren't working such as App Store, Font Book, Mail, and any others.

  • Preview.App does not find text in pure text pdf works in other PDF viewers

    Hi I am using reportlab an open source python based pdf generating package to generate pdf reports.
    The generated pdfs are searchable using Adobe acrobat and Google -Gmails built in pdf viewer . However in Preview.App the text seems to be only recognized as individual characters . For eg the text "hello world" will not match hello or world , but typing just h into the search bar will show up matched text as "h el l o" . So although visibly the text appears as a single word , semantically the words just seem to be composed of one or two characters.
    Only Preview.App seems to have a problem with the generated pdf. Adobe Acrobat ( Mac and Windows) , Google-Gmail pdf-view , Evince-Gnome-PDF viewer ( Linux) dont have any problem with finding the text in the PDF documents generated.
    I have a thread in the reportlab user forum discussing the issue (see http://two.pairlist.net/pipermail/reportlab-users/2009-August/008643.html). ANd the problem definitely seems to be with Preview.App . The pdf (sample see example text in corner) is available at this url ( http://s3.amazonaws.com/code-itch/searchtext.pdf)
    The app is targeted at scientist Mac users . And I want to have the pdf reports searchable and indexed by spotlight , so getting this working is very important for me.
    Your help is greatly appreciated
    Hari

    The posts on the reportlab newsgroup suggest that
    "> If the preview is actually rendering the pdf and then searching, the 0
    degrees case should be searchable. If that's the way the search is happening
    then it's no surprise that the search should fail if the rendered letters
    are at 90deg." -Robin Becker
    Test cases show that search fails completely at rotations of 90 , succeed partially at rotations of 45, succeed fully at rotations of 0.
    So , is there a way to prevent Preview from only searching the final rendered PDF. The pdf I am complaining about are searched fine in the many other PDF readers I tested that probably handle search differently.
