Grey Background of Arcobat program conflicts with Grey PDFs

I have a client who use a grey background & border on their ads. This grey background is almost exactly the same colour as the background colour of Adobe Acrobat Professional - so when I view pdf's I cannot see where the pdf page ends or starts as it merges with the background colour of the Adobe Acrobat Professional program.
In previous versions of Adobe Acrobat Professional the page had a black drop shadow and the program grey was lighter so this was not an issue.
Using:
Windows
CS3 - Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

Thank you for providing the system info. At least we have some idea. Your GF either has Lion or Mountain Lion...version unknown.
Disconnect all devices from the MBP when troubleshooting to avoid conflicts. Try the following by clicking on all the links until you try the one that hopefully works:

I have had a trial version of Acrobat X1 Pro - I have decided not to buy at this stage - for some time it has been conflicting with opening PDF docs after "saving as" from word 2007 - I uninstalled Pro X1 and now when I "save as" PDF from word 2007 to PDF it will save the document as a PDF but will not open the document to display after publishing - I have to got to where the file has been saved to view the new PDF document - this is really annoying - do I have to delete adobe reader and reinstall it - adobe needs to look at this conflict with acrobat pro as I have even gone it to properties and tried to have adobe reader as the default PDF program - the main issue is that I cannot view the PDF after publishing it from word 2007

Muse Freezes - Program Conflicts?

Hi,
This is partially a question, but also a story about an issue I had and how I came across a solution in case anyone should happen to be in a similar situation:
I'm running the latest version of Muse with the latest version of AIR on Windows 8.1, and everything had been working fine with it until this morning. I wasn't sure what might have been causing the problem, but the problem was that I was unable to place any kind of image, regardless of file type. When I clicked on the "Place" or "Place Photoshop Button" commands, Muse would just freeze and become unresponsive, yet the program window wouldn't fade (as would be typical with an unresponsive program in Windows), and I received no error message within Muse. When I click "Save As," the Save window starts to appear and then freezes halfway through loading (this fades and gives the prompt that Muse is not responding). I tried uninstalling AIR, and installing version 3.9, but this didn't work. I tried uninstalling the Lenovo Solution Center, which also requires AIR to run (and seemingly caused no issues with Muse previously)...no luck. Uninstalling and reinstalling Muse gave me no success. It had been a few days since I had used the program last (it was working fine this past Sunday). The only other programs I had installed between then and now were the EFI Fiery tools for my laptop to be able to use one of the printers at my job, and the latest Photoshop 14.2.1 update that was available this morning. I was able to save existing files so long as I did not press "Save As," and I could drag and drop images onto the website workspace, but this was of little help when trying to put in a PSD button. The problem came up regardless of whether I was working on an existing Muse project or starting a new file.
When I uninstalled the EFI Fiery tools and associated programs, removed the office Fiery printer from my printer list (it's a Xerox Color 560), restarted my computer, and started Muse, everything worked properly again with no issues. There must have been some sort of conflict between Muse and the Fiery tools or the printer, but I can't fathom what that could possibly be. I can live without having the tools on my laptop, since they're also on my workstation at the office, but it was purely a matter of convenience, since there are some things I'll work on at home and then send to print from the laptop.
Is this a known conflict, and are there any other program conflicts with Muse that we should be aware of?

I think I've isolated the problem to text editing: Muse freezes when editing text. I can perform other functions, such as placing graphics, but when I try the use the text tool, Muse freezes.

Creative System Information with conflict with Nero Expr

Hi to all,
I noticed that I could not access the Creative System Information (CSI) in the Creative Products tab in the area of Creative software, anything under that. I was able to go to 40 software number but no to the information of each software. The CSI hanged or stopped responding. I needed to close the program. I found the cause of the problem. I encountered the problem so far only when I have Nero Express 6 or demo even Nero 5 installed. When I uninstalled that Nero program, I had access again to all the information under Creative software, 40 of them. It looks that there is conflict between Nero and CSI. Does anybody notice this too? What is going on and what is the solution? You help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Medico

Solution! I discovered the problem causing the system crash, and I think it is sufficiently interesting to note here so that others may benefit from what I discovered. First, there is no fundamental problem/conflict with the driver for Webcam Live Pro. The trouble in my instance is that I was running another program that utilized the web cam, and that program conflicted with the Webcam Live Pro program that was constantly running in the system tray. Basically, the program in the system tray is loaded with the set-up for Webcam Live Pro. It constantly monitors the computer system to see if the cam is connected to the computer. When it does this while another program is using the cam, the conflict occurs, causing the entire computer to reboot. The solution is to right mouse click the icon for Webcam Live Pro in the system tray, go to settings, and to remove the check that allows the program to check for the presence of the web cam. Just to be safe, I then also exited the Webcam Live Pro program from the system tray so that nothing from that program could interfere with my use of the webcam using another program.
The result is that the webcam is rock solid, with no system crashes. I have been running it nonstop for hours without a problem.
I hope this helps someone else.
Best,
CB

How do I keep the original background color in a Keynote presentation after PDF?

My Keynote presentations have a grey background. But when I convert to PDF, it turns to black. Help?

Hi jvtennis,
What are you using to convert your file to PDF? Are you using Acrobat or "printing" to PDF from Keynote?
Regardless, one thing to check is that you have Show Large Images selected in the Page Display settings in Acrobat or Reader.
Best,
Sara

I am having a problem when I try to select a photo or itunes song in Imovie or other programs. I get a window with grey lettering that says: "Open Itunes to populate this list" or "Open iphoto to see photos from your iPhoto library in this list. I have tried relaunching programs and nothing appears. Seemed to start happening a while back after one of my system upgrades.

After a a lengthy conversation with Apple Tech. ($20), my problem seems to be solves. The Iphoto problem solved by trashing the plist file. The Itunes was more involved. We had to create a new Itunes folder and import the files into the new folder; and then import the playlists.

You could try doing a hard shut down (holding the power button or yanking the battery) and then doing a safe boot by holding the shift key at startup:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
Also, not sure if this applies in your case, but I've had that happen when there's a USB drive inserted either in the computer or a connected external keyboard. I did a hard shut down, removed the drive and it went through a normal start up.

Did some updates yesterday so decided to shut the computer down last night. Turned it on this morning and now for almost an hour the screen is showing a grey background with a picture of the computer and it says "setting up your Mac". Like it is frozen.

Grey background in converted text

I added some shadow to text to have it converted to an image (PNG).
This looks good at the iMac at home. At some PC, which also doesn't show the navigation bar, the text gets a grey background. Example:
http://www.hasselo.eu/photography/Books.html where the upper picture has real text and the lower picture contains converted text (PNG).
Something similar here: http://www.hasselo.eu/photography/Gallery-photo_course.html where the button "Gallery" at the top has a grey background.
I assume that not all viewers will be able to see this because some browsers show it well and others don't.
Is there something in iWeb that I can do to fix this?
Is this because it is PNG and some browsers have an issue with PNG.
Alternate solution is to type the text in a graphics program, save it as jpg and at this to iWeb so that iWeb does not have to convert to PNG.
Thanks for your help.

fixed this in a work around

Kyocera 3035 prints grey background in Mail & Safari

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, whenever I print with Mail, a grey background appears in the message portion.
With Safari, the entire document has a grey background.
Printing from other programs is unaffected.
I am printing to a Kyocera CS-3035 using Snow Leopard's built in KM3040EE.PPD driver v8.4

After the update to 7.1 it will not be. I did my 5 and set the transparency off and it is not as greyed but it is no longer translucent/transparent as before the update. now it is as same as the 5S i have.

Printing out of CS5 on Epson R3000 prints light cyan and grey background

I have an Imac with Mountain Lion, CS5 and have just replaced my Epson R2400 with an R3000. Now the white background round the image is covered in small cyan and light grey dots. If the image fills the paper, then the margin is affected. But when trying to proof colours I am going through loads of paper as I cannot now print a smaller image on a larger piece of paper, then re-feed the same sheet through with another small image as the paper is now pale blue.
The R2400 was fine for proofing, as the image alone would print and then the printer fed through the remainder of the sheet without printing, leaving the rest of the paper white.
I understand that there was a problem with this previously (CS5 on Epson 7900. However the discussion thread stopped after November 2011.I understood from that , that it was most likely a Photoshop issue and some sort of conflict with the Paper profiles. But, I have checked the profiles on my Mac and they are all version 2 profiles. I note that the few profiles that do work without the blue colour do have 'bkpt' in their profiling and that the ones for the paper I actually do use and in fact the majority of the profiles, do not contain 'bkpt'.
Has this problem been rectified at all? Please will you tell me how to do it? I appreciate all the help I can get.

If unchecking the scene-referred profiles box clears the display problem in Photoshop, you most likely have hit a known bug with defective monitor profiling packages building defective monitor profiles that affect Photoshop and After Effects — specifically, the defective profile is erroneously marked as "scene referred."
Version 4 ICC Profiles: If your are using v4 printing profiles, try Googling for more information...some symptoms of this bug are Photoshop prints a light cyan or blue in the page white areas. The Fix is to use Version 2 printer profiles.
there is another old known issue that has to do with trying to Hard Proof simulate press conditions (printing cyan in whites) but i am not sure what you are trying and i can't recall it right now
if those aren't it upload these screenshots of your workflow:
