I get blank screens when printing PDFs

For three weeks (ever since I upgraded from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10), my attempts to open PDF files in Safari fail, while FF:Mac opens them as usual.
Here's an example: <http://www.warrencampdesign.com/bakerybible/images/gems/july8.top.pdf>.
In Safari, after double-clicking the PDF file, a window opens asking me (every time) to select Reader or Acrobat. Alas, I then find that Adobe Reader, in my applications folder, is greyed out, preventing it from being recognized.
Even after I already open Reader, Safari brings up the blank white window.
I've reset Safari but that hasn't corrected this.
Anyone have this difficulty? If so, have you found the fix?
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

You're welcome Warren. Glad to see the problem was "solved" from the suggestion provided.
How these preference settings get changed is a mystery to me. Another one is the Flash settings for QuickTime. Triggers quite a few queries in this forum about the "Quicktime ?".

  • I get blank printouts when printing from Firefox (see details) anyone know how to remedy this.

    I receive the following error mesage when clicking on the properties button within the 'print' dialogue box "Function address 0x0 caused a protection fault. (exception code 0xc00000005) The application property sheet pages(s) may not function properly."
    When I attempt to print any pages from Firefox, the printer goes through the motions and seems to print every word but no ink touches the paper, I just get blank printouts. Printing from all other web browsers and desktop apps is just fine (Lexmark P3150, Win XP SP3).
    Anyone know how to resolve this??

    Did you configure the web server as the last part of foundation services? You could always get a patch for IE support but the blank screen always appears if the services wasn't started up correctly or if the web server wasn't configured lastly after any configuration change.
    About the Weblogic here's where you can get more info about your error message: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12839_01/apirefs.1111/e14397/LogMgmt.html
    "BEA-170011
    Warning: The LogBroadcaster on this server failed to broadcast log messages to the admin server. The Admin server may not be running. Message broadcasts to the admin server will be disabled.
    Description
    The LogBroadCaster on the managed server could not find a reference to the DomainLogHandler on the admin server. Messages from this server will not be logged in the domain log.
    Cause
    The managed server might not be able to reach the admin server. One of the possible causes could be due to the admin server being shutdown.
    Action
    To fix this problem, inspect the exception stack trace, correct the problem. If the admin server is shutdown, restart it to resume normal log broadcasting to the domain."

  • Get wierd screen when opening PDF file in Acrobat/Reader 9.5.2

    Here's the screen I now get when trying to open a Captivate-generated PDF in either Acrobat or Reader 9.5.2. Any thoughts?

    Hi Ronpref,
    I created a Captivated PDF file of size ~15 MB (created with Adobe Captivate 5.5) and opened it with Acrobat 9.5.2. I did not see any issue opening this file, all the contents were seen properly. As soon as I launched this PDF, it asked me to install Adobe Flash. Once installed, this PDF file was opened successfully and I could move forward/back within that captivate movie.
    You can check if this same issue is present on other machine with Acrobat 9.5.2. If not, then there are chances that this issue is specific to your machine.
    Alternatively, as I suggested earlier, try using Reader XI.
    Thanks.

  • Pdf in Safari: Get a blank screen when I click on a PDF

    [Inventory]
    Safari 5.0.5
    Acrobat Pro 9.4.4 up-to-date
    Acrobat Reader 10.0.3 up-to-date
    iOS 10.6.7
    [Problem]
    When I surf the internet using the Safari browser And I click on a link that is a PDF, I get a blank screen.  The PDF does not render in the new Safari window.  What happened?

    Hay there
    I JUST FIXED THIS PROBLEM ON MY OWN COMPUTER
    --YIPPEE--
    I hope that this will help all those safari user that have been resisting the urge to put a fist through the screen like i was.
    1) there is a hidden 'library' folder in the "home" (looks like the little house) account -- you have to unhide it and make your change there
    2) i found it by doing a search for "pdf plugin" in the search area (by that litte mignifying glass icon thing)
    3) here is the path.     home/library/internet plugins/
    4) once you are in this folder you have to swap out all the old crap that's there for the new/updated stuff
    this is were you made sure your plugin are correct
    HINT: i copied all the pdf related plugins from the other "library" (the ones that were recent installs) into this one
    I then restarted safari and it was cool beans

  • I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

    I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    *1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    *2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    *3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    *4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    *5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Discoverer Plus - Problem with Page Orientation when printing pdf's

    Hi,
    When printing pdf's in Disco Plus I have a problem:
    My workbooks are a mixture of landscape and portrait pages.
    I am printing the entire workbook and then using cutepdf to produce a pdf.
    If I print to paper I get the correct landscape/portrait settings.
    If I print to pdf then landscape pages appear vertically when I view on screen so that the text is running from bottom to top of the page.
    So it is picking up th portrait/landscape settings from the individual worksheets but cutepdf has not realised that the pages are landscape so they appear on the screen vertically.
    This was not a problem on discoverer desktop so I am confident that this is not a problem with cutepdf.
    Any thoughts?
    Justin

  • Inconsistent type weight when printing pdf (acrobat X)?

    I am having trouble getting type type in my pdf document to appear consistent when printing to the office printer.
    - the file is originally a ID CS6 document
    - I export to press quality
    - the typeface in question is an open type font
    - the pdf looks right on screen
    - when the pdf is printed random lines of text appear to be a lighter weight.
    Any suggestions? is this an export setting, a font issue, or a printer issue??? any advice much appreciated!

    If you go the attached web page:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/reader/
    (http://www.adobe.com/support/reader/) ,  you
    will see "download an older version" underneath
    the Download Adobe reader.
    If you click in this link (download an older version), you
    can pick from version 8 and 9.
    Since erasing version 10 and downloading version 9.4,
    my problem has gone away completely.
    As with you, I consider this a major problem. It certainly added
    a lot of grief to my life when I could not trust my printer
    output at all.
    Hope this helps.
