Firefox PDF Viewer Displays Specific PDF Incorrectly

I have a PDF hosted on my website that displays incorrectly when loaded in the FireFox PDF viewer. I would like to simply fix the PDF so that it looks correctly. I understand there are ways to circumvent the PDF viewer, but I have not been able to get any of them to work for me. Is there a style guide or something that can help me fix the PDF so it loads correctly on the website?
The PDF is: http://www.tiresafetygroup.com/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2013/05/Modern-Tire-Designed-for-Profit-WEB4.pdf

It already looks a lot better in the Latest development version, although I still get the notification bar.
Latest development version of the PDF Viewer (pdfjs) as a Firefox extension:

  • PDF viewer displaying wrong langauge

    PDF invoices that we create are showing in an incorrect language (eg. Greek/Arabic) within the Firefox PDF viewer - We have checked the document in Adobe and Foxit and these applications all show correctly (should be in English UK)
    We are receiving complaints from customers that are trying to open the PDF from within Firefox who think we are sending the documentation in the wrong language!
    Cheers,
    Sean

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Google Chrome PDF viewer displays different fonts

    When I design a document in either Indesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop I use many custom fonts. I export my PDF's as optimized as possible for web viewing from the layout program itself.
    I don't stop there. I open my exported PDF in Acrobat and optimize the file further using the Optimize PDF tool. I flatten everything out, but I keep my fonts embedded. When I drag and drop the file in Google Chrome or Firefox the fonts change. I get some cheap looking serif font instead of my slab serif. I've tried unembedding the font as well and I get the same result.
    What gives?
    I just want to make sure this isn't something I'm doing wrong. What's weird is it happens in Firefox/Chrome, but it doesn't happen in Safari.
    Firefox/Chrome PDF viewer:
    Safari PDF viewer:

    Interesting.
    However, as what each of these browsers does to render a PDF is dictated by the respective coding discussions of that would have to take place each browsers "developer space".
    Nothing there is controlled by Adobe eh.
    Be well...

  • How do I stop Firefox from opening a blank page before my selected PDF viewer opens a pdf email attachment?

    When I receive an Outlook PDF attachment and open it, Firefox starts and a blank page opens. After Firefox has opened and the blank page opens, the PDF viewer I am using opens the PDF. I have the options settings set to use Filecenter.exe as the PDF viewer. I have changed this to use adobe and the blank page still opens. I have set Firefox to be the default viewer but Firefox will not open PDFs created by certain CAD programs. I would like for this blank page to stop opening in Firefox. Does anyone have a solution to correct this problem?

    hello grichardson, does it work when you go into the ''acrobat reader > edit > preferences > general ''& click on the default application option at the bottom? in there reselect adobe's application and confirm this selection...

  • Build-in PDF Viewer FF19 render hyperlink incorrect

    There seems to be a render issue when opening this PDF: http://teachersresourcestoday.com/content/uploads/mypdf4.pdf
    The first link, "Click me vndev60" is rendered correct. Its anchor begin with "http://".
    The second link, "Click mpilink.asp" with anchor "mpi-link.asp?type=Page&PageCode=..." is render wrong. I saw that PDF Viewer render an <a> tag with href is empty.
    Expected : "http://teachersresourcestoday.com/content/uploads/mpi-link.asp?type=Page&PageCode=..."
    The same issue with rest of links.

    I see, the PDF Viewer does not understand relative links in a PDF.
    For people like me who prefer to open PDFs in the stand-alone Adobe Reader, the links are relative to the temp folder in which the file has been stored temporarily, which doesn't work either.
    It sounds like yet another feature to add to the viewer!

  • PDF Portfolio Displays Previous PDF

    I am having an issue on multiple computers running Windows 7, 32-bit SP1 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.3 Pro. After creating a PDF portfolio with multiple PDF documents within it, and using the Grid layout I am able to see the individual PDF documents without any problem. Each of the documents contained within the portfolio has between 5-10 pages originally created from Excel 2010. If I open Document1 for example and scroll through the pages, everything looks just fine. If I then close that document and open Document2 and start scrolling, page 2 from Document1 will display even though the title of the document that is being viewed is Document2. It seems as though Acrobat is remembering or caching the previous document that was viewed and not closing it or something. If I then open document 6 for example and start scrolling, page 2 from Document2 will then display. This seems to happen only when using the Grid layout. If I scroll all the way to the bottom of the document and then back to the top, the correct pages then display and “refresh”. Has anyone else had this happen when using the Grid layout in a Portfolio? Any ideas on how to correct this?

    Not seen that effect, but it may be cured by turning off the local page cache (preferences > page display) and/or 2D hardware acceleration. If either of those help, please file a bug report.

  • PDF Viewer support for PDF Highlight annotations

    Hello. The built-in PDF viewer installed with Firefox 19 does not appear to support PDF Highlight annotations. Is there a time frame for implementing this annotation type? Thanks.

    I quickly looked at the list of [https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues?labels=&milestone=&page=1&state=open hundreds of open issues] for the PDF viewer project, but couldn't figure out what was happening with highlight annotations.

  • PDF viewer to manipulate pdf files

    Hello,
    I am using MySQL and JSP in order to create a website.
    In a table from the database i have store pdf files using the data type BLOB.
    How I can manipulate these pdf files from the JSP?
    I have search that the Java PDF SDK might do that job. Is anybody that has used
    it before?
    Please help me as soon as possible.
    Thank you in advance

    Current Firefox versions have enabled a new build-in PDF Viewer and that viewer doesn't have all the features that the Adobe Reader has.
    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options > Applications".
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.

  • Incorrect PDF being displayed periodically in the browser

    I want to start by thanking anyone who could shed light on this problem. 
    We have a web application that dynamically generates PDF files per a user request in a web application.  98% of the time the proper PDF gets opened in the browser correctly, whether it be IE or Firefox.  The other 2% of the time, no matter what url data was requested from, an incorrect PDF is displayed.  This incorrect PDF that gets displayed is one that was requested and opened in a previous request and could still be open in a browser tab.  Once this state is reached all PDFs that are requested do not line up with the requested PDF, meaning they are all incorrect.  Once the browser is refreshed the problem stops happening for another stretch of time. 
    I have read posts that discuss placing a random number in the url to "trick" the browser plugin from thinking it already has the PDF.  We have done that.  In fact this issue appears to not be impacted at all by the url.  For example, when this problem happens I can go to https://appname/one/pdf and get the PDF that was requested and sent back when I went to https://appname/two/pdf.  These are two clearly different urls even without the random number that we placed on the end as a parameter and I still receive the PDF from the second URL. 
    We debugged the server side code and we are 100% sure that we are sending the correct PDF back to the client by streaming the PDF to a file on the server prior to sending it back to the client. 
    One thing I have noticed is that currently we are not specifying the Content-Disposition header when we return the PDF to the browser.  This means that there is no filename being provided to the front end and the plugin.  Is it possible that the Adobe Reader plugin eventually gets confused as to what file to display if there is no specific file name provided for the PDF from the server, with the keyword there being eventually as it is an intermittent problem? 
    We can easily set the Content-Disposition header to be attachment; filename="somename.pdf" but given the intermittent nature of this bug we would like to get some feedback as to if this fix is logical given this issue.  If it is not logical we would appreciate any other information that may help us troubleshoot this issue.  The alternative is to rewrite the document generation code to output HTML, and I really do not want to do that. 
    We are using the Adobe Acrobat 9.4.5.236 add-on to Firefox 10.0.3, Adobe Reader 9.4.0, and Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702.  All of these versions are not able to be upgraded, meaning this is the baseline we have to support.  We also operate, still, on Window XP Professional Service Pack 3. 
    One last comment, client side operations by the user are not valid solutions either.  I have already suggested asking the user to uncheck the open in browser option in Adobe Reader but our customer does not find that to be a valid solution.  To date we have not been able to recreate the issue when the PDF is opened in Adobe Reader proper and not the browser. 
    Thanks again for any help and information. 

    In case someone, other than me, stumbles across this post.  The solution I suggested in the opening post did not work.  When a user opens a PDF using the Reader Plug-in in Firefox they still have the potential to see the previous PDF.  The interesting thing is, as it appears right now, that this only occurs when a user closes a Firefox tab that contained the previous PDF and then triggers a different PDF to be opened in Firefox.  What seems to be happening is that the Reader Plug-in ignores the file it is supposed to open and recycles the PDF that was in that tab before it was closed.  Which is funny because the URL of that tab points to the new file that was downloaded into the temp directory but the contents of the tab is still the previous PDF.  Not sure if the plug-in just doesn't clean out the previous contents or what but it clearly is an issue that resides in the Adobe Reader Plug-in for Firefox. 
    I am not sure what we are going to do at the moment but if we find a solution, other than don't open the PDF in Firefox, I will be sure to post it here.  However, for right now there is nothing coming to mind. 

  • Acrobat X Displaying Embedded PDF at full / 100% zoom

    Hi
    I have embedded a pdf onto my page here http://www.entirefilingbankruptcy.com/bankruptcy-exemptions/alabama/ but it is shrunk too small.
    The source pdf is also shrunken - http://www.entirefilingbankruptcy.com/bankruptcy-exemptions/alabama-exemptions.pdf
    Could someone please point out how to have the PDF display at its full size (1020 x 540)?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Which browser are you testing with? In my testing, the PDF appears small in Google Chrome when using Google Chrome's built-in PDF viewer:
    When testing with Firefox using the Adobe Acrobat plugin, the PDF fits the width of the viewable area:
    It appears as though Google Chrome's built-in PDF viewer displays PDFs at 100% zoom by default. The page size of the example PDF is actually 1.70in x 2.11in, so when displayed at 100% zoom it appears quite small.
    I don't know of any way to control the default zoom level when the PDF is being displayed by Google Chrome's built-in PDF viewer.
    Regards,
    Brian

  • Unable to see Hyperion FR reports in PDF view.

    Hi All,
    We are using Hyperion 11.1.1.3 version .User can able to open the report in HTML view but not in PDF View.When users try to open the report in PDF view ,found that PDF view grayed out(disabled).we tried to change the file preference-->preview-->PDF preview,but still getting the same errror.pdf reader is installed in client machine and ghostscripts has installed in server machine.if its related to access issue ,I think there is no separate security access role for HTML View and PDF view.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance

    We are facing the similar issue on only one user's machine. We have exactly same kind of machine with same verison of OS and PDF softwares installed, All other users are able to view is correctly. The effect user is able to open and view all pdf document from his machine or from Internet.
    This seems to be more Individual Machine specific issue for us.
    Any idea who we can go ahead in investigating or solution to fix this.

  • Native pdf viewer

    Can the native pdf viewer display and use bookmarks that are in the pdf files?

    I did and could not get it to work, hence my question.

  • How do I change my default PDF viewer in Safari?

    I recently downloaded Acrobat Reader. Ever since, when I have opened PDF files on the internet, they have opened in Acrobat. How on earth do I switch the default back to Preview, or the regular Safari pdf viewer? I don't want to view my internet PDF's in acrobat because it takes forever to load them and it is extremely cumbersom for my purposes.

    To remove Acrobat as your PDF reader, go to your User Library>Internet Plug-in Folder. There you'll see the Acrobat plug-in. Click on it, then "command key + delete" will move it to the trash. Note: If your Plug-ins are used for more than one user account, you'll find them in the same folder I mentioned, however, they will be in the Main Library.
    While Preview is an option for PDF viewing, I prefer PDF Browser Plugin. It's free for personal use. Quick and easy to use, I think you'll like it.

  • How do I change the "view documents in PDF/A mode" to never through the registry

    Hi All,
    We manage over a hundred windows boxes and we're having issues with some of the PDF forms displaying in PDF/A mode, even when they're saved as regular PDFs. We have an enterprise patch management through which I can make a change to the registry of all the computers. Is there such a registry entry that I can change to set this value to "never"?
    Cheers,

  • 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.
