Exported pdfs - Linked file not dispalying correctly on some machines

Hi,
I'm creating several PDFs in InDesign CS5.5. I'm creating links to different files in InDesign using buttons. The pdf links work correctly on all machines and open the file theyre supposed to. I run into a problem on some machines though. The first page of the newly opened pdf opens completely gray... nothing displayed. If you hit page down and then page up, page two displays fine, and page one then appears fine from that point on. On some machines it's a little slow to display, and goes from gray to displaying the page in about one second.
Does anyone know why this would be happening, and how to fix it?
They are created on a mac, and the problem is present on some macs, but not others, and seems fine on PC. It's also worth pointing out that it isn't the speed/power of the machine, because the older less powerful machines have no problems with it.

How are these files being viewed?
Bob

  • PDF/A files not displaying correctly on iPad

    Hi there
    I am creating a PDF/A document that is a compilation of a bunch of MS Word and PDF documents, which will be primarily viewed on iPad. I'm using DocsCorp pdfDocs on my computer (a PC) to compile them together, and saving as PDF/A to ensure no font problems. However, it's still not displaying properly on the iPad. Some of the pages are missing blocks of text and images. Some of the lines of text just look like black lines across the page, and there are some pages that have big black patches where text used to be.
    Does anyone know what else I can do to make my PDF/A document display correctly on an iPad?
    Thanks!

    You could try out an iBook.
    Creating iBooks (EPUBs)
    There’s no denying that the Apple iPad is a popular and successful product. One of the things I was most intrigued by was the format that Apple chose for their eBooks (iBooks). The good news is that they went with the industry standard EPUB format, and the even better news is that InDesign exports EPUBs natively. I created my first iBook for iPad using InDesign CS5. Let’s take a look at the workflow.

  • PDF links can not open correctly

    The links in PDF when I click,  I can not open just  flash and nothing opened.  I can not find the internet explorer open setting in Reader.

    By "link" you mean a URL (linking to a website), not a local path (linking to a local document)?
    Anyway, can you try if Reader 9.5.5 works better?

  • Pdf links will not open in ie8 windows 7

    I have installed, uninstalled Adobe Reader 10 and Internet Explorer.  I have tried all the solutions listed in some other posts.  PDF links will not open the files on some web sites, Fidelity.com in particular. I have reset IE8 Advanced Options and Advanced Options Reset, Created another Windows Administrative user, performed clean boot in Windows and run IE8 (no addons) from the accessory menu and unchecked the Display PDF in Browser box in preferences.  None of these options have resulted in correcting the problem.  Adobe Reader 10 works fine on the Fidelity web site in Firefox.

  • HELP....AVCHD / MPEG files not playing correctly!

    I have been trying to download video that was shot with the new Sony FS100 camera that I'm told are AVCHD or MPEG files to my older Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 timeline, but they are not playing correctly. When I reverse the field dominance, the image plays better but the sound is strange (I was able to speed the sound to 450% and it worked better, but then the balance of the sound from the clip is lost somewhere.).
    Any suggestions to make these files play and work correctly? I tried converting them to AVI files but that showed up completely black on the timeline! Anything I've tried either affects the video or audio negatively!  I try either makes the image play or stutterThis was shot in regular SD format, NOT HD, so they should be able to play on  a standard timeline. Can anyone suggest anything to help please? Much appreciated!

    Thanks for your reply, I ran it through Media Info. Here are the results:
    Container & general information:
    MPEG-PS: 290 Mib  4min22s
    1 Video stream: MPEG video
    1 Audio stream: AC-3

    First Audio Stream:

  • File not formatted correctly error

    Dear All,
    when am trying to import a contract file as excel sheet, not CVs file, i get the error ( File not formatted correctly ). any advice?

    the issue with date formatting would be corrected in Excel. When an export file that includes dates is opened in Excel, they get reformatted by the Excel program. In my experience, I have had to reformat those cells in Excel to the YYYY-MM-DD format and save the Excel file before I could import again into CM. But, if you are just exporting and then importing without opening the file in Excel, then the dates are not the problem. What are you exporting from CM? Are you trying to import into a different project or database than you exported from?

  • Why is my .psd file not rendering correctly in ae

    Some layers of the .psd document are not rendered correctly. However they are imported.
    The strange thing is that when I first move from Photoshop to Illustrator, save it as an .ai file it is rendered properly (in Ae).
    I am kind of clueless as to what is causing this issue.
    Kind regards,
    Jelle

    Okay if more information is needed, i'll provide. However you may disregard my initial comment about illustrator. It flattens the photoshop layers so I do not have any flexibility in After Effects. In other words, my main question remains: why is my psd file not rendering correctly in ae?
    Further details:
    -photoshop cc and after effects cc.
    -macbook pro retina
    If still not clear enough, please tell me what details you are looking for furthermore

  • Pdf links will not open in new browser window

    I have created a pdf document in Acrobat 9 Pro that is password protected. You must enter the password to open it. In this document there are perhaps 15 links to other pdf documents. I set up each of the links to open in a new window. The links work as expected in Acrobat, each opening in a new window, however, when I posted the documents to the web, the links open in the same window as the original document. This would not be a big issue if the original document were not password protected, but each time the user clicks on a link, it takes him out of the original document. To get back to the original document requires re-entering the password. This is a major irritation with so many links.
    I know that you can set Acrobat to display the documents in its own window rather than in the browser, but my users don't know that. Control clicking on a pdf link does not open it in a new window as it would with an HTML link. Is there a simple fix to this problem that does not involve user intervention?

    Well, I came up with a solution, thanks to Ted Padova who offers a simple JavaScript solution on his blog at http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/tedpadova/opening-pdfs-new-browser-windows.
    The solution is clearly laid out even for beginners, if you know how to create a link or button.
    It seems to me that a prime objective of Adobe in developing Acrobat would be to have it behave the same way in free-standing mode and as a plug-in. In this case it does not, and obviously, it has not for the last forty-eleven years that Acrobat has been on the market. Maybe some day they will get around to a fix for this obvious problem. In the meantime, read Ted's blog and be happy we have guys like him who can solve these problems.

  • Links do not display correctly in my pdf

    www and http are not displaying in pdf files converted from MS Word
    When I convert a Word document to pdf using Acrobat Pro 9.0, the website addresses do not display correctly. For instance, if my document shows www.website.com - then the pdf only displays .website.com. Also, if I have the http://www.website.com - I get ://www.website.com. Please HELP! I remember having this problem when I used the trial version of Acrobat 9.0, at the time, I just removed the link & the document converted fine. For this file, I REALLY need the links to be active.
    For now, I have resorted to using a pdfmaker that costs about $5 on e-bay. It works just fine - why doesn't my Adobe Acrobat work?

    PDF maker is the part of AA9 Pro that converts the links for you. You did not say how you are creating the PDFs, but you have to use PDF Maker (the create PDF button in WORD) to get the links correct, or add them manually in Acrobat.
    I have no idea what PDF Maker you are talking about for $5 a day, since it is part of your package and is thus no additional cost. If you are printing to the Adobe PDF printer, you are not using PDF Maker.

  • Colors in pdf files not displayed correctly on linux acroread

    I have recently observed that the colors in certain pdf files are not displayed correctly in acroread on Linux. Other readers such as evince get it right. Examples are a presentation with white arrows on  a black background which come out as black on black. I suspect, but have not proved, that the files were produced on Mac OS. I see this in acroread version 9.5.1 on a couple of versions of Linux. I googled this but could find no-one else mentioning it. Has anyone else seen it. Looks like a serious bug to me.

    Does this happen with other PDFs on the server? You might check out the Adobe forums.

  • Very Very Urgnet -- export to pdf error -- File not found

    Hi to all,
    I have a major problem while exporting pdf files at runtime
    Using VB 6.0 and Crystal Reports 8.5, I am able to generate the required report. 
    While exporting to the pdf, I need to save the files without any user interaction.
    I have tried using the exportoptions, but it gives error
    Dim appl As New CRAXDRT.Application
    Dim rep As CRAXDRT.Report
    Private Sub Command1_Click()
         reppath="sf_details.rpt"
         pdfpath="c:\test2.pdf"
         Set rep = appl.OpenReport(reppath, 1)
         rep.ExportOptions.DiskFileName = pdfpath
         rep.ExportOptions.DestinationType = crEDTDiskFile
         rep.ExportOptions.FormatType = crEFTPortableDocFormat
         rep.Export False
    End Sub
    "File not found" at this line --> rep.Export False
    Secondly, fonts dont seem to appear the same as compared in the report viewer and the exported pdfs.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.

  • Gray color background in PDF exported from Crystal Report not printing correctly in Digital Printer (CMYK)

    I am processing a crystal report on RAS server,and exporting it to PDF, using the RAS Dlls.
    Dim Report As ReportClientDocument
    Dim crExportData As New ByteArray
    Dim crExportType As CrReportExportFormatEnum
    crExportType = CrReportExportFormatEnum.crReportExportFormatPDF
    crExportData = Report.PrintOutputController.Export(crExportType)
    A gray background is applied to an object in crystal report, with RGB color code (216,216,216).
    On exporting this report to pdf, the color appears as required.
    However, when printing this PDF in a digital printer (uses CMYK color format), the color changes to Pinkish Gray.
    The color remains gray as required, in other printers.
    Is there any way to make the exported PDF CMYK compliant?
    Please help.

    From the info, I have no idea what version of .NET and CR you are using...
    How is the printing from the CR designer?
    How is the printing to another printer, say HP?
    Do you have the latest updates for Digital Printer (CMYK) installed?
    How does a plain pic with grey background print from a .NET app? (E.g.; is this a CR issue, or a framework issue? See:

  • PDF links do not open properly

    I run safari 1.3.2 on OS 10.3.9. Initially a pdf link in safari would open properly by using the adobe plugin or whatever. Now a pdf link opens up using the Quicktime plugin. How can I manage plugins and get pdfs to open properly in safari?

    Hello Paul:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I am away from my Macs at the momment, but let me try
    to help.
    Highlight a PDF file (do not open it). Now I am
    fuzzy...go to the menu bar and find a parameter that
    says "open with" You will see a drop down menu with
    all the available options. Select PDF and then click
    on open with this for all flike files (or something
    similar).
    My apologies for being vague - if I was at my Apple,
    I would walk myself through it first.
    Barry
    Barry, that sounds like your talking about choosing a opening application in the finder, thats not my problem, I want safari to use the correct plugin for pdf file links, how do i do that?

  • Crystal Export Tab Text (TTX) Not working correctly in program using Objects Driver XI

    I have created a report in Crystal 2013 that I need to export as a tab delimited file for import into QuickBooks.  If I run the export from within Crystal 2013, the export works fine.  All the data is there delimited by tabs.  Each field is set to "Can Grow".
    The image in Excel shows I am in cell A3 and it has only one item in it TRNS, each field is in its own column.
    We purchased software that uses the Business Objects XI Driver (the Crystal Redistributable program).  When I run the program to export the data (the software only lets you export this report) and choose tab delimited, none of the data is delimited, it is all concatenated together in one big long string for each line.
    If the data is longer than the field length in Crystal, the "Can Grow" option moves all the extra information to line 2, and all fields that had extra data and went to line 2 is concatenated together in one string.  And if the data went to a line 3 it concatenated all the line 3 data together.
    The image in Excel shows I am in cell A3 and it has everything on row 3 combined into one string, data that is not set to "Can Grow" is cut off like the date which is showing 6/13/20 (does not show the 14) and it continues to the 1100 (which is the General Ledger code, but cuts off "Account Payables").  The company name is set to "Can Grow".  The company name is CASTS  CAST SERVICES AND MACHINGING.  You can see CASTS  CAST on line 3 but the rest of the company name moves down to row 4 and 5.
    If I export the file from the software as txt, I get the same thing as exporting it as tab delimited.
    I cannot figure out why this is doing this.

    Hi Les,
    Unfortunately CR XI is end of life and end of support so we can't get any patches to you, if one existed for this issue or not.
    Only option is to ask them if they have an update to current supported CR Versions and runtime, CR 2011, 2013 and the runtime is CR for Visual Studio.
    FYI, your TTX in the title is NOT the correct acronym to use because we had a legacy export type to ttx file format, it's no longer supported at runtime, so you you should refer to it as Tab Delimited and not TTX.
