When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

Getting an error message when opening a PDF being displayed in FF 24 in Adobe Acrobat XI

I have the very latest versions of FF and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and FF Adobe Acorbat Plugin. When I open a PDF (regardless of size) and view it in FF then click the download button then select the option to open in Adobe Acrobat I get the error stating "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. " If I download the file locally THEN open it usually works fine. This happens to me on both Mac and PC. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Have you reinstalled that plugin (Acrobat), or tried to use Firefox's bulit in PDF reader (PDF.js).

Disabling Processing Pages when opening a PDF

I have Acrobat X and recently when I open some PDF's either from my hard drive or from a website it starts processing the pages, which is annoying and takes forever. I think it started after installing Adobe Air but I removed this program and it still does it. Does anyone know how to disable this? Below is a screen shot of the Processing. Thanks!

In your Acrobat preferences, turn off Accessibility -- but actually after checking, I think it is some of the Reading Order options. It has been a while since I have seen comments on this process and am giving an answer to the best of my memory.

Getting Adobe Lifecycle Error when opening the pdf document to provide comments

Hi All,
I am getting AdobeLifeCycle Error message when I am trying to give comments in the pdf document.
I have a workaround in place for the same but I want a permanent fix.
PFB the workaround for the same:
1.Delete the Adobe folder from the users local profile, under the following folders:
C:\Users\”login”\AppData\local
C:\Users\”login”\AppData\locallow
C:\Users\”login”\AppData\Roaming
2.Delete the contents of the temp file on the C Drive
Please let me know if some one has faced this issue and have been successful in finding a permanent fix.
Thanks & Regards,
Aniket Deshmukh

Zoom level when opening a pdf in Preview from a Finder "find" window

I do a Finder search, and the search window shows a bunch of pdf files. If I double click on one, it opens in Preview with the Finder search term highlighted in the pdf text-very nice. But the zoom level of the pdf is very high, like 300%. So I always need to zoom back out to 100% to see the context of the found term. Is there a way to change this default behavior?
Another point is that once I open one of the pdf's, it vanishes from the Finder window. Although this might make sense in some ways, because, after all, I've already had a look at the file, it's often not the behavior I want. In particular, it's hard to know what the next pdf is that I was going to open, when the one I just looked at is no longer in the list. I should also point out that not all pdf's vanish in this way, but most do. I can't see any pattern.

Hi,
You mentioned that "JavaScript in the PDF can hide toolbar buttons."
According to the Javascript docs for Acrobat 7 the App.HideToolbarButton function only runs at AppInit. Which means that I would have to have the javascript in a file. How can I do that from within the document? Is there another way to to do set this from our web application?

"Insufficient data for an image" when opening a PDF, even with Adobe Reader 11.0.06

I have extracted some pages from a large, scanned, PDF into a separate document, using a product called Nuance PDF Converter 7, and when we try to open that with Adobe Reader 11.0.06, we receive the error "Insufficient data for an image". I have read that this error was supposed to be fixed with the latest version of Adobe Reader 11, but I have installed that, and it doesn't help.

I am also having this problem, especially with scanned documents. Since I need to download scanned documents in my work this is a big problem!Sometimes I can read but not save the document, sometimes one or two of the pages will be blank from the start. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10). I tried reducing the page zoom, a suggested workaround on this page: Acrobat: “Insufficient data for an image” error after updating to 10.1.4 or 9.5.2, but that did not help at all. FWIW I use a Windows 8.1 PC with 4 GB RAM. I usually download PDFs from the internet using Firefox.

Black screen when opening in .pdf

I'm having problems with opening the C5-project in .pdf. Some people get a black screen when opening the .pdf file (version 9 or higher), most of the time it goes well, but 1 out of 10 times it doesn't work. I have know idea what could be the cause of the black screen (use of laptop?).
Now it is impossible to send this project to our stakeholders, because I don't know whether it works or not.
Does anyone recognize this and knows why this happens, and how to solve this?

There was a recent patch released by Adobe for Captivate 5 that addressed a similar black screen issue in Captivate SWFs.
You can get the patch here: http://www.adobe.com/support/captivate/downloads.html
It may turn out to fix your issue as well.

I have problem when opening a pdf page, my mouse control is hijacked to that tab when im on other tab, i cant scroll or use the middle rollling button, i have to click at the pdf tab then my control over the mouse middle button is restored.

I think I have this problem even on earlier version. The thing is I set open link in new tab and not switch over to the opened tab. My habit is to open a pdf page in the background and let it load first. What happen is that when the pdf page finished loading ( i do not set to download it), it hijacks my middle mouse button control. When i scroll down or scroll up on my original tab, it wont scroll on the tab, but insttead it scrolls on the pdf tab. I have to click on the pdf tab, then i can use the scrolling function on other tabs back. As for when i opened several pdf tabs, it seems i have to click on the tab that just finished loading, that means several times until they all finish loading. It has been getting on my nerve lately. And all pdf trouble i search from google led to unable to open pdf, firefox hang or crash when opening a pdf and the likes.

core-el, i don't see the advantage of that or i can't figure out how i'm supposed to use it. for starters, i have to click the mouse in order to get "add bookmark here" to open, which is no different than clicking on the star in the location bar, or right-clicking on the page. there are also options in the bookmarks toolbar, but they all require clicking the mouse & holding down the right button, etc.
my goal is to use keystrokes only. typing on the keyboard, using both hands, using the space bar & my left pinky finger to tab over are all painless routines for me. as soon as i have to take my fingers off the keyboard & use the mouse, the pain begins.
as i said, in older versions of firefox, all i had to do to bookmark a page was click ctrl>d, then tab over & arrow down, when appropriate, to find the folder & add the bookmark. for me, as a touch-typist whose speed is between 60 & 80 wpm, this is lightning fast.
if i have this wrong, please correct me. i just see it as more mouse clicks that don't save me time or pain.

In Elements 12, how do I get thumbnails to show when opening a file?

In Elements 12, how do I get thumbnails to show when opening a file?

When in iPhoto (photos, library, an album, whatever, etc.) and I try to position the thumbnails at the top of the page I am unable to do so. In the "View" menu of iPhoto, then "Thumbnails" at the bottom, then all the items in the menu are grayed out. I have tried to go to iPhoto prefences and try there, but no luck. I get the beachball turning for a few minutes, then it stops, but still no luck.
I have iPhoto 08, OS 10.5.8, anda PowerBook G4, 17"
Thanks, and sorry for the brief/incomplete question.

Hello jodifromahwatukee,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
From what I understand, it sounds like Safari is not loading a single page or multiple webpages correctly and it is trying to reload the content. In this situation, there are a few different steps that I would recommend.
First, I would recommend clearing your history and website data as described in the attached article.
Safari web settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Nest, after the data has been cleared, I would recommend closing Safari completely as described in the next attached article.
Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
After Safari has been closed, reset your iPhone. After the reset, open Safari fresh and use it as you normally would. If the issue continues, please let me know.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Have a great day,
Joe

Getting error message when opening a PDF thats in a curriculum

Can anyone help me diagnose the reason I am getting this message and why I cannot open this pdf? Thanks in advance!

The activated fonts are not the same version as those in the PDF. If you use Type>Find Font and replace the fonts with ones from your computer does it work?
