Figures show up pixelated in presentation viewed with Adobe reader

I am working on a presentation which I am making in beamer (latex). Since I am including animations and hyperlinks to sounds, I am using Adobe reader 9 for unix on Lubuntu. Everything is working fine except for one strange thing:
- The fonts and labels on the figures I am using appear extremely pixelated in the presentation pdf (viewed with Adobe reader) even though if I open them individually, they look fine.
- If I open the presentation pdf with evince, there is no such problem and the figures look fine. But since animations dont show in evince, I have to use Adobe reader
Apparently this is an Adobe reader problem. I tried meddling with the settings a bit (pixels per inch, smoothen lines...) but with no success. I have no idea why this is happening, but it is quite terrible for me.

As a follow to the above, the problem was related to a file transfer.  The PDFs in question were being transfered from a Unix platform to a Windows Server.  The transfer was defaulting to ASCII or Text and not binary.  Apparently this was never an issue with older versions of Adobe Reader.  Once the transfer was switched to binary, Reader X was able to view the files with no missing pages.  Something was being stripped from the file that Reader X just didn't like.

    Enable and encourage user input in PDFs (viewed with Adobe Reader)
    with FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers + Form Assistant
    Half-hour webinar (free; no fluff, no hype, no nonsense)
    Wednesday, June 5, starting 9am PDT
    Register at: https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/157658438
    Enabling PDFs for various types of user input can strengthen the interaction between users and the content, and improve satisfaction due to greater user involvement/control. In addition, designated avenues for user input can contribute to documentation quality and provide outlet for frustration, for example by sending inputs regarding the documentation or the product directly from within the PDF.
    Techniques demonstrated in this webinar include features that are all embedded in PDFs that are viewed with the free Adobe Reader:
    • text fields where users can record data values and options
    • checkboxes to track progress
    • page marks and notes (optionally e-mailed)
    • embedded grading/feedback forms
    • storing of useful search queries within the PDF for future use

  • Pdf file opens only with Adobe Reader

    I have a pdf file that I received that I can only view with Adobe reader. Every Mac application including Preview and every other one that should handle pdf shows a page that looks like a web page and says "Please wait" and some other stuff about if you are not redirected to your page you may not be able to open this type of file. Adobe reader (latest version) can open the file just fine.
    Is there some reason why the Apple programs cannot open this file? Has Adobe done something to this file to lock out Apple software? Is there some incompatibility with the latest Adobe file version for pdfs?

    I have created the pdf files using txTextControl.ServerTextControl
    The additional space after the "w" is a result of charaster spacing, there is no whitespace in pdf file after "w"
    If i open the same pdf in some other pdf reader like Sumatra pdf reader, it gets opened without any white space after "w".
    However, there is no space after the "w" in the PDF document, its the adobe  reader issue.

  • I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad.

    I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad. Mi am able to view the file in its entirety on my Mac but not on my ipad.  I have tried saving it to acrobat but that doesn't work either.  Any suggestions please.

    Hi,
    When you say the entire content, do you mean some parts of the pdf are not getting displayed or is it going out of the screen?
    Please send a pdf you are having issues with on chmaheshatadobedotcom, it will help us investigating the problem.

  • Viewing issue with Adobe Reader

    Hi there,
    I'm having an issue with Adobe reader, which appears to be not related to platform or version. To cut a long story short. I've created an A4 design in Photoshop. Part of this design includes some boxes, that have been given an outline (border) effect. Also bare in mind that the Photoshop files are being created at 350dpi.
    When I put my design into Illustrator/ InDesign and then generate a PDF file. I then go and look at the pdf file and when the zoom is at 100%, the edges of the boxes are not straight, you'll get a slight offset half way along for example. However, when I zoom in to 400% the problem disapears and the lines (edges) look perfectly as they should.
    Does anyone know about this issue? I'm worried that when I print from the PDF, this issue will be in the print-out - or will it be OK when I print it seeming as it dissapears at 400% zoom.
    Any prompt answers or help would be appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Luke

    Can you open Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • When pdf file is opened with Adobe reader, it shows extra whitespace after "w"

    I am unable to attach the pdf file here. But my pdf file is having a hyperlink "http://www.google.co.in/". When i open it with Adobe reader, its shown as "http://w w w .google.co.in/", if the same pdf file is opened in some other pdf reader, the link is properly shown and i can click over it to browse. This is a bug in Adobe Reader.
    Please revert back mentioning where should i attach the pdf file.

  • Problem with adobe reader, commenting

    one of our authors is using adobe reader x 11,1, and I send him a pdf (enabled commenting and measuring), but for some reason the commenting-fields does not show on his screen?
    should I save the pdf in another way?

    What do you mean by "commenting fields" exactly? By “commenting filds” I mean the tools in top of the page – delete, highlight etc. When I send the pdf, I save it as “file - save as -  reader extended pdf – enable commenting and measuring”, otherwise the commenting tools normally don’t appear by the author.
    Are they existing comments? no, it is the text in his pdf-book he needs to correct
    Is he able to access the commenting tools? no
    You can try sending a non-enabled version since Reader 11 can add comments to a non-enabled document. will try that J

  • PDF file pages missing when viewed in Adobe Reader XI

    Hi All,
    I have been made aware of a recent issue when viewing scanned PDF files in Adobe Reader XI. Pages are missing when the PDF file is viewed in Adobe Reader v.11.0.x though all pages are visible when file is viewed in Adobe Reader 10.1.5?
    I can confirm I have checked Show large images option under Preferences -> Page -> Display, though this doesn't appear to have made a difference. I have been able to replicate this same issue on several other machines.
    All machines checked and tested are running Windows 7 (64-bit).
    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Never heard of such an issue.  Can you share such a PDF with the forum?  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375

  • When I open a document in Firefox with Adobe Reader 9, I am unable to print it (no problem when using Internet Explorer)

    I'm running Windows 7 (64-bit), using Firefox 8.0. When I open a document with Adobe Reader 9, I am unable to do anything with it (print, save, etc.) other than view it. When I use Internet Explorer I don't have this problem.

    Not sure what you mean by truncated troubleshooting report, but here's what I copied from "troubleshooting" under "help". My printer is selected as the default printer in Devices and Printers. Also, remember that a document that won't print in Firefox prints fine in Internet Explorer.

  • Why is Firefox nownot compatabile with Adobe Reader and Adobe flash 10.o?

    The issue with Adobe Reader is when I fine the site I want using Google and the URL is a PDF file click on the site the document will not open.
    When trying to down load and install Adobe Flash player I got a message the it was not compatible with Mozilla Firefox
    currently I am running Firefox 6.0.2

    Pat-Thank you for the tip on Firefox not using Adobe Reader plugin.  I would like to clarify a couple of things.  I do not use Firefox, ever.  I had installed it just to see if I could pull up the PDF files, assuming it used Adobe.  I went to the link you mentioned (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136) on Post 6 at 12:10 a.m. I tried the steps more out of curiousity to see if Adobe would work on Firefox, but could not figure out how to do it. 
    At this point though, my concern is I still cannot get Adobe Reader to work on either Vista IE 9 or Windows 7 IE 11.  I still get this message on websites:
    To view your statement, you must have Adobe® Reader® installed on your computer.
    Download Adobe Reader for free by clicking here.
    I really appreciate your time and effort for all on this Forum.  I believe I may not be making myself clear though.  The Flash Player problem is resolved on IE 9 and 11.  But I have tried System Restore, Downloading from the Adobe and other sites when they give me the download adobe reader for free message, and my program manager clearly states the latest version of Adobe Reader is installed.  I cannot figure out where to go from here to get it to work, and as I mentioned before, up until a few days ago, Adobe Reader was working great on all my computers.
    One other item.  I notice I am getting literally hundreds of emails about Adobe problems in my inbox from others on the Forum.  How do I stop them from going to my inbox?  Did I set something on the Forum which is making it appear I may be an expert on Adobe issues?  How do I correct this without creating a new email account?

  • Accelerated Math with adobe reader A

    I use accelerated math, when the students scan their cards adober reader prints new assignments. when I updated Adobe reader started to print in a defalt font which I tried to change to Times New Roman, but still prints with the defalt. but the real problem is it changes text in math problems. example.        -5 +(-w) prints out as -5 +C-wh  there are other changes too but I think they would be resolved when this is. When I log into the Accelerated Math web site and access the account there and reprint the first print comes out the same as the auto print, then I have to close and reopen adobe reader and open the last document then when I print it prints out a usable copy. any solutions I'm going through a lot of paper having to print 3 times. even using the back side of each page.

    I'm behind a fire wall that will not let me copy or past to this post. I also can not set up a link to a file out side or intranet.
    I will try to explain farther.
    The students run a scan card that is read and then opened in Adobe Reader giving them a score and new assignments which is printed automatically. This printing is where the problem is. where it has capital letters and signs in place of parentheses and multiplication and other signs.  This leaves Adobe Reader open on my desk top. I then open the last file opened and print it again, this time it prints out ok. Also the documents look ok when viewed in Adobe Reader, the problem only show up in the first printing when a document is opened.  If I close Adobe Reader I have to print twice to get a readable copy. I also have to close Adobe Reader between each student scaning for it to print again which starts the whole process all over. It seems like there is a defalt font that Adobe is using.
    Hope this helps explain the situation more. I will try to get a file that can be viewed.
