How do I get rid of blank pdf windows that appear in mission control? My adobe acrobat program isn't even open.

Everytime I go into mission control I see blank pdf windows. I can't get rid of them except when I restart my computer. Otherwise I have to put them all into 1 desktop in mission control so they don't clutter my other desktops. The windows only appear in mission control and not in the actual active desktop. I've tried closing any open application that uses pdfs but that doesn't help. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Hi Bill,
I came to the problem this morning with a fresh perspective and have solved the problem: I realized the text was in Cambria, so I changed it to the dependable Times New Roman. I created the PDF and NO pound signs appeared scattered around in the PDF.
Ay, fonts!
Thanks for replying, and have a great day!

  • How do I get rid of the grid lines that appeared when I opened my picture in Photoshop?

    So I was going to edit a .jpg file in Photoshop and when I went to place it or open it in the software, it showed me this weird set of lines that sort of make a grid. How do I get rid of them since it overlaps with my picture?

  • How do I get rid of the infuriating button that appears when I am scrolling?

    This button is apparently intended to speed up navigation within a document, website page, or email. In my opinion it appears unexpectedly, often overrides my input and causes me inconvenience. I don't want it, don't where it came from, don't know how to get rid of it. It's just more programmer masturbation, IMHO.

    Do you mean the button to autoscroll the page?
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General: "Use autoscrolling"
    You get this auto scroll button when you middle-click with the mouse scroll wheel on a web page.

  • How can I get rid of a white screen that appears for 3 secs on startup

    Since my last Thunderbird upgrade to 31.3 I get a white screen for 3 seconds during start-up and before I see my folders.
    I use Thunderbird to access one Yahoo.co.uk account and 2 Outlook.com accounts.
    All plugins are disabled.
    I have one extension, CompactHeader 2.0.9 which I removed but the problem remained. I have now reinstalled it.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird - problem just the same.
    If I start in safe mode there is no white screen, it loads normally straight to folders.
    I'm not sure what to try next so any suggestions are welcome.
    Cheers

  • How do i get rid of the white screen that appears?

    When using my ipod the screen will suddenly turn white. I've tried restarting it and plugging into to itunes, but nothing seems to work. Is my ipod bust or is there anything else i can try to fix it?

    You can work through the remaining five 5 R's of troubleshooting.

    It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

    How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers? I'm trying to watch something on my TV through an HDMi cable (& apple adapter) and when I go to switch the sound control in preferences from internal speakers to SONY TV, the annoying "popping" noise occurs on my TV's speakers.

    Go to Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings and check the box for error correction, and then try one of the problem CDs again.

    Right-click or control-click the line and select

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • How do I get rid of the adjust window in iphoto.  It is stuck there and it won't go away.

    How do I get rid of the 'adjust' window on my photo.  I click on the x and it does nothing.  Is it hung?  I thought apple didn't hang.

    Close iPhoto and do the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
