Exported PDF looks different in Preview, Adobe Reader

Hi,
I'm relatively new to InDesign and experiencing all sort of problems. I'm trying to export PDF of my resume in a small size file to send it over the email. However, after exporting when I view PDF document in different applications, it looks different.
1) In Adobe Reader in 100% view the letters in bold are "jumping". Please see the screenshot below
2) The colors of the logo come out right when viewed in Adobe Reader. Which is 1st image:
However when viewed in applications such as Preview or just default Mac preview with space bar. The colors of the logo and the contact details comes out completely different then in Adobe Reader.
I export the PDF with the default settings that comes with smallest file size but I need to make sure it looks good as this resume is for my job and will be viewed most probably on the computer. The logo is linked to Adobe Illustator file in InDesign document.
Please help as I spend about 3 hours trying to figure it out. I would really appreciate your help!
Natalia

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your answer. I've tried most of the thing you recommended but it doesn't work:
1) The file was originally created in CMYK and then I converted it to sRGB in InDesign. As well as chose transperency blend space as RGB. As for the logo then the option in Illustrator to convert the file into RGB mode seems to be disabled.
3). Exactly what I was doing.
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong... Is there a way to import all the links from illustrator into InDesign file?

  • Pdf color looks different in preview and acrobat?

    I notice that the colors in various PDF files I have look different in Preview and in Acrobat. Is there some weird color profile issue?
    To be specific, I can create a PDF file in various ways, of a slide deck I originally created using Keynote. It has various different color blocks in the slides. In particular some acid green colors look very different depending on whether I open the PDF in Acrobat or in Preview.
    Preview shows the colors as they were in the original keynote application. But Acrobat shows them far more muted.
    I learned from another post that if I create the PDF by first saving to postscript and then creating the PDF using Acrobat, the issue seems to go away. However this is very inconvenient.
    In short, it seems as though there is some peculiar difference between the way Preview and Keynote (and probably Pages ) handle color and the way Acrobat handles color.
    Is there some way to fix this using some setting in one of the programs?
    By the way, this is not a new problem. I noticed it with previous OS's as well as previous versions of Keynote. I am currently using the latest version of everything.

    Same problem here. I was printing a PDF that my designer had sent me. Before I have always used Acrobat, but I've started using Preview in Leopard since it's faster and more powerful than before. But the colors were seriously wrong, often reversed completely. I believe this file was originally created in Illustrator.

  • Cannot open the pdf/videos in my Linux, Adobe Reader 9. It fires an error...

    Cannot open the pdf/videos in my Linux, Adobe Reader 9. It fires an error...
    "A 3D data parsing error has occurred"
    By any chance have someone help me with this issue?  Thanks!

    thanks Jono But I cannot see any option to set Target Version.
    the options I have are XDP Preview format and PDF Render Format which are set to Acrobat 7 static PDF form.
    I have set a permissions password on the form using Acrobat 8 and under Password security settings , I have set the compatibility as Acrobat 5.0 or later. However, When I look at the form properties by opening the same form in LiveCycle, the compatibility still shows Acrobat 8 static PDF form.
    How do I get this form to be opened by users in Adobe 7?
    Appreciate your quick response.

    fats vee,
    Please take a look at my replies and screenshots in the following forum post to transfer a PDF email attachment from the Gmail app for iOS to Adobe Reader for iOS.
    How do I save a PDF attachment from Gmail to Adobe reader?
    As I mentioned in the forum post, it requires many extra steps to transfer a PDF document from the Gmail app.  This is because the Gmail app for iOS does not support "Open In..." as many other iOS apps do.
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

  • Merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader

    Does anyone know how to merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader. Is it even possible?
    Thanks

    If you've got a Mac and OSX you can do this in Preview.  Make sure you can see the sidebar with the first PDF opened, and then drag the second PDF to the bottom of the last page in the sidebar.  Also you can reduce the size of your saved file by selecting (or making) a Quartz filter to 'reduce file size'
    Cheers

  • Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected?

    Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected?  I've tried changing "sharing and permissions" to "read and write" as suggested on other help sites, but this did not correct the problem.

    I had the same problem---contacted Adobe and their service rep helped me by
    A.   Deleting  Adobe Reader from my iMac's Applications in Finder
    B.   Downloading Google Chrome browser and then
    C.   Downloading the latest Adobe Reader for Mac 10.6.8 in Google Chrome--it works
    Adobe acknowledges problem with the latest Snow Leopard update 10.6.8 and with this work around, I can open PDF's using the Google Chrome Browser.
    Is this the ideal solution---NO.  Safari is my main browser. I now have to use a separate browser for PDF's.
    Am I happy to be able to open PDF's---YES
    You can't believe the time I spent to solve this problem before calling Adobe for help. My Apple Care policy expired a month ago . As I use Photoshop Elements, I was not charged by Adobe for their help on the telephone.

    You would need either Acrobat (link to free 30 day trial) or our PDF Pack subscription service to perform that task.

    Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

    There are can be reasons PDFs cannot be opened. For example, some forms created with Lifecycle Designer cannot be opened.
    Are you sure the file is a PDF? Can you open it in Adobe Reader or Acrobat on a Mac or PC? Does it give an error message when you try to open it?

  • Ouverture de fichier PDF avec Acrobat X Pro/Adobe Reader

    Bonjour,
    J'ai un petit problème :
    Depuis que j'ai installé Acrobat X Pro, tout mes fichiers PDF veulent s'ouvrir avec ce logiciel.
    Le problème est qu'il ne démarre pas, parfois j'ai de la chance et 1-2 minutes plus tard il se lance
    Quand je lance Acrobat X Pro depuis l'éxecutable, sans passer par un fichier, ça ne marche pas non plus. Et Distiller X non plus.
    Je peux donc faire clic droit sur le .pdf et faire "ouvrir dans adobe reader 10" et le logiciel gratuit adobe reader s'ouvre en moins de 2secondes.
    Alors j'ai voulu mettre que les fichiers .pdf s'ouvraient par défaut avec Adobe Reader quand je double-clique sur ces fichiers.
    Mais là, l'image du fichier a changé en une icône toute moche :
    Comment puis-je remédier au fichier moche de droite, mais en l'ouvrant avec Adobe Reader ?
    Ou alors en faisant en sorte de Acrobat X Pro arrive à se lancer
    Je suis en Windows 7 Familiale Premium (un ordi en 32x et un autre en 64x)
    Merci d'avance de votre aide
    PS : ah et pendant que j'y suis, est-ce que je peux enlever les :
    "Convertir au format pdf" et "combiner les fichiers pris en charge dans Acrobat..."
    du menu contextuel du clique droit ?
    Comme sur cette image : http://i47.servimg.com/u/f47/16/47/71/46/contex10.jpg

    Salut,
    - Cela fait bientôt 10 ans que Acrobat Reader n'existe plus : http://abracadabrapdf.net/articles.php?lng=fr&pg=8

  • How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.
