Graphics don't display in pdf?

When I view pdf's on my iPad 2, sometimes the graphics are fine, but often there are blank areas where some of the graphics should be.
I create the pdf's in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional by printing to a file from a variety of applications (Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, and so on).
Can anyone suggest settings I can use in Adobe that would make the graphics appear 100% of the time? Trial-and-error isn't working.
As an aside, I don't want to open these documents in their original format (for example, using Keynote for PowerPoint documents or Numbers for Excel documents). I really need them to be pdfs.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Are the graphics that don't show up interactive elements?
For example, when I create files and turn an image into a button, either in the original program or in Acrobat, and neglect to check the "Interactive Elements" box in the "Include" section of the export options before I export, those images will not show up at all on any computer, not just on the iPad.
You may have tried this already but in the "Options" section of the export panel, under "Export Layers", select "All Layers". Maybe your applications put some of your images on layers that are not accessible to you but it doesn't seem obvious when you're working with them.
I hope this helps.

Moved Graphics Don't Display In Flash Output

Following on from my previous post (re the problems I have
had following an upgrade from v4 to v6) in which I mentioned that
many of my graphics do not display in preview mode, even having
moved the project to my C drive and even though the images do
display in compiled .chm output, they still will not display in
preview mode or in compiled Flash output (have not yet tested
WebHelp).
However, this does not apply to all of the graphics in my
project - It would appear that the problem images are only those
which having opened the project in v6, I moved into a central
graphics folder (using the Project view).
Beforehand, all my images were scattered throughout the
project folders which made it a nightmare to manage so I decided to
move those which were not already located in my 'Images' folder,
into it!
Although the file moves seemed to work without any problems
and the code in the 'True Code' view points to the correct location
(and does not show any obvious differences between graphics which
do display in preview mode and those which don't) - all I get is a
box the size and shape of the graphic containing a small red cross!
Any suggstions gratefully received as always.
Ta much

In dealing with the various problems, did you take a copy of
the project and then open that using the HHP file after deleting
the CPD and XPJ files? Try that on a copy to see if it fixes the
problem. If it does, read my topic on Opening a Project to see if
any of the issues concern your project.
If that doesn't fix it, post back.

Images don't display in PDF read in iBooks

I subscribe to a scholarly journal that is distributed in PDF format. Lots of photographs, illustrations, diagrams.
If I open them on my desktop everything displays fine.
If I open them on my iPad, using iBooks (my preferred reader for this purpose) or iAnnotate or Docs to Go, the document opens fine. The pagination and formating is fine. But there are NO images (including ads). I just have text and white space anywhere an image would be. Any ideas?

Sorry, no go. I get the same results with GoodReader as in iBooks, Docs to Go and iAnnotate: perfect pages minus all photos and graphics. (And I have confirmed that photos and graphics appear properly in PDF on the desktop.)

Altered graphics don't display properly

I am running Lookout 6.2 on a small panel pc.
I am using custom graphics which up to now display properly. I needed to make a couple of changes to the graphic, which was done on another computer then the exiting graphic was replaced with the new one, using the same name.
Lookout displays the graphic but with messed up colour (greens are reduced to shades of grey) and the image is fuzzy. Untouched graphics remain ok
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks Ryan
The resolution and colour were all correct, so I had the graphic re-drafted and this time it worked.
Yet another mystery

Graphics don't display in Rich Text

I'm in the process of migrating from MS Entourage to Mail. For a long time I've been placing screenshots in context within my text and it's worked well for all receivers. Yet now my recipients tell me the graphics are no longer in place, yet they look fine when I'm sending. I've tried by gifs and tiffs; neither works.
Mail 2.1.3 (753.1). What am I missing?
Kind regards,

Mulder asked: What exactly are your recipients seeing, if not the images? Are you actually sending Rich Text email, or is it Plain Text with images attached? More details.
I'm discussing a software coding problem with a colleague. I enter some text, drag in a screenshot, centre it. Continue with more text, drag in another screenshot. Make some text bold. And so forth. Clearly I'm in Rich Text, and the behaviour is very similar to HTML mode in Entourage.
I send the eMail. My colleague tells me the text arrives with graphic attachments out of context, separated from the text. He sends me these remarks:
"I tried to look at your screen shots, but none of my software (preview, photoshop, safari) will open them . The name says 'gif' but it says they are in 'tiff' format."
I then convert the graphics to TIFF format, place them in context and resend the eMail. He tells me he again gets the same result, plain text files with separated attachments.
This is most counter intuitive and frustrating.
Kind regards,

Incredible email graphics won't display

Occasionally I get emails with graphics in the email, rather than attachments. The graphics don't display, so I have to open the email on my home PC to see them. On my Droid, I went into email/menu/more/settings/send & receive to find my 'Mail size limit' was set at 5kb, so I changed it to No limit. I forwarded the email from my PC (same ISP), however only a few of the graphics appeared, most did not. My wife has the Droid X and we share the same email account, so she also got the email. She can see all the graphics. What gives? We both have the same OS.

the graphics in my emails are always in the body of the email? i never receive them as attachments? i get many emails with graphics and they always appear in the same manner as when i pull those same emails from my pc. i just checked my settings, but can't find anywhere to change anything that may affect how your emails show up on the device? sorry.

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

Hi, emoticons in incoming messages to my iPhone 5 don't display as graphics but as keystrokes. Can you help? Thanks

I should have said that emoticons in incoming messages received using yahoo mail on my iPhone 5 don't display properly

have you ever thought that the person sending the message to you is sending the emoticons as keystrokes or that emoticons selected in Yahoo mail do not translate as expected to an iphone or that embedded images like emoticons in emails do not come across as you might expect?

Unable to display a PDF image on the page - Mac 10.6

Hi,
Running an iMac with 10.6.8 and Indesign 5.0.4. Just wanting to export a PDF as per usual via File > Export function. However, I keep getting the error message, "Unable to display a PDF image on the page'. No idea what this is and have never seen this error before. The only info on the internet reveals error code 0x2511(9489).
I've deleted prefs, closed down and re-opened Indesign and even restarted the computer. I've also re-linked the images contained in the document and even created a new document and set it up the same, but still the same problem. Investigating further, other Indesign documents still export properly.
The only ones that don't export are 2 documents, both giving this same error message. Both documents are ones where a client has sent a PDF, I've imported into two of these into an 2-page A4 Indesign document (each PDF is 48MB each) and then just added a text layer (using Times) which is properly installed on the computer. I basically have to 'update' course dates for the client and add PDF to the website, all very basic.
I've tried importing a jpeg and other PDFs into the file (replacing the existing ones) and they export fine.
All my software is legal and I've exported this document before now in exactly the same File > Export without any problems (under 10.5 and 10.6).
OK... I've just imported the offending PDFs into Acrobat, optimized and shrunk the file size, re-imported back to Indesign and the PDF export works fine. So it seems InDesign / PDF Export doesn't like large imported PDFs? I think they were originally exported from Publisher, so maybe that's the problem or a file conflict somehow.
Any ideas on the culprit? I've googled it, searched these forums and Apple discussions and haven't found anything. Although I've found a workaround, I do get large files to import and then export. Thanks for any help
Steve

It does sound like a problem with the original PDF files the client sent you. You can check how they were made in Acrobat Pro from the Additional MetaData button on the Description tab of the document properties dialog. It will be under Advanced at the bottom of the list when the metadata opens.
You might be able to salvage them by running the optimzer and not changing the size, or just doing a Save As in Acrobat.

How do you Display a PDF stored as a BLOB in Apex?

We are trying to use Apex for the first time here in our shop. The project we have selected has PDFs stored on the database as BLOBS that we currently are able to display with our forms application. We want to do this using apex, and have them appear on one of the pages in the application. I want the PDF to display on the page, when the page itself is invoked, without the need to click on a download link on the page itself.
I've seen certain examples displaying images etc, but I haven't found one that specifically refers to the display of a PDF database BLOB on a page (I assuming a report page) within Apex.
Also, since I've just set up the Apex environment utilizing Oracle HTTP Server in the middle tier, do I need Oracle's BI Publisher in order to display the PDFs in Apex?
Thanks in advance. Any advice or links would be much appreciated.
Phil

Thanks for the quick response, and you are correct. I've seen examples that include a link to specifically display the PDF, but I don't want them to be able to directly go to the PDF outside the context of the page itself. These are letters of recommendation that we store on our DB, and this application, for our med school admissions screeners, will be looking at up to three letters of recommendation for each applicant to which they have been assigned. We want them to click on an applicant, and then through a series of tabs view data on that applicant, some of which will be his/her letters of recommendation.

Display a PDF file from local drive

Hi,
I would like to display a pdf file that is actually stored on the portal server hard drive.
What I have tried to do is link an iFrame element to the url of the file: "D:
MyFolder
myFile.pdf"
But it doesn't work. I have the following error when trying to do that:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.InvalidUrlRuntimeException: Invalid URL=D:/MyFolder/myFile.pdf
Does this means that iFrame can only display http URLs ? What are the other ways to easily display pdf files ?? I'am stuck with that problem and can't find any other solution.
I also tried with "servletResponse.getOutputStream().write(fileByteContent);" but the problem is that I am not in a PAR application, and I don't have the servletResponse element and don't know how to get it.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
   You can not access the .pdf file using the nornal path (c:
), use the following code to open the pdf in ur iframe, this will work i used it in my application.
String sFileName =
strCampCodeVal"_"nReqIdVal+".pdf";
String sFile =
"C:
SBLI
BCP
barcode_files
"+sFileName;
File fFile = new File(sFile);
     if ( fFile == null )
         System.out.println("System can not download the
                                 file at this time. Please try again later.");
              return;
//Checking the file for existence
     if ( !fFile.exists() || !fFile.canRead() )
         System.out.println("You have specified an
                   invalid file to download. Please check and try
                    again.");
         return;
//set the content type its important , try with applicatio/pdf also
     res.setContentType("application/force-download");
//seting the header
     res.setHeader("Content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=" + sFileName);
     res.setHeader("Cache-control", "must-revalidate");
     ServletOutputStream sosCur = res.getOutputStream();;
//reading the in and writing the stream
     BufferedInputStream bisFile = null;
          try
               byte [] bBuffer = new byte[4096];
               bisFile = new BufferedInputStream(new
                                                FileInputStream(fFile));
               int nBytes = -1;
                          while( (nBytes = bisFile.read(bBuffer, 0, 4096))!=-1 )
                   sosCur.write(bBuffer, 0, nBytes);

Logo image not displayed in PDF preview in HFR Studio reports

Hello All
I need to display a logo image on every page of an hfr report. The logo is visible in web-preview and print preview. But when the report is run in PDF preview, logo is not visible.
A header text box is also used which visible in all formats but not the logo.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Neha

The image is a jpg image. I have also tried using and image already saved in hfr's repository.
But still I'm not able get the image in pdf format of report*
The same image is visible in web-preview and print preview*
I don't think issue is because of position of image because I tried including the image in an empty report as well.
The problem is still there with the pdf preview*
Is there something else that could be done to display the image in pdf preview of report????
Thanks in advance..

Graphics in InDesign Export to PDF Pixelated

I lay out a small paper, containing a few ads, stories & features. These ads and features are linked INDD files and contain text and linked images in PDF, AI and PSD formats.
I recently acquired CS6. Since that point, when I export the project into PDF, many of those linked graphics appear and print badly pixelated. Converting the graphics to EPS, though, solves the issue: the graphics look fine in the PDF. While converting all the graphics to EPS would solve the issue, it would be a lot of work that I would rather avoid, if possible.
The issue seems to be in either my settings or a corrupt installation, because when I package the project and send it to a friend, he can export to PDF with no issues. I don't believe, though, that I've changed any settings from the default, and we're using identical presets to export.
I export my PDF's as type "Adobe PDF (Print)", using the provided preset " [Press Quality]". I'm using Win 7 Home.
Any ideas short of reinstalling? Thank you for any advice or suggestions.
A jpg made from a PDF created on my machine:
The same image, packaged & sent to my friend, who exported it with the same settings. JPG made the same method as the previous:

No text displayed in PDF Document

Hi @all,
I want to download a PDF-Form to my local machine.
Approach:
- CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
- CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
- CALL FUNCTION h_funcname
- CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'
- CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
- CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
I just inserted a static text in the PDF Document (Font: ARIAL).
Adobe Document Designer shows this text on the preview tab but
the downloaded PDF Document is empty.
Only the graphical elements like circles are displayed but no text.
System-Details:
SAP ERP Central Component 5.0
Release 640 Non-Unicode
Adobe Designer Version 6.0
Do you have any ideas?
I just found the note 715599 but this refers to UNICODE Systems.
Thanks.

Hi,
thanks for you answer.
But the document only describes the conversion of SAP Script into PDF file.
The OTF output of the SAP Script is converted to PDF by using the function module CONVERT_OTF.
Do I have any other possibilities to access and download the PDF Document without using SAP Script?
I already created the PDF Interface and PDF Form by using the "Form Builder" (Transaction SFP).
My program shall access and download this Form.
This works almost but all of the text information is obviously lost. All of the graphical information is displayed in the downloaded document.
Thank you for you help.
