Importing PDF to illustrator. Text does not display.

I am using Illustrator CS6 on windows 7. I created a document on Illustrator CS4 on mac osx and exported the file to a pdf. Now when I want to edit the pdf in illustrator the images and drawings display correctly, but only certain text is shown. Not any text in particular, but just random lines of text within paragraphs. The rest of the text does not show up at all. What could be the issue?

Why not open the AI file?
In any case, as Monika points out, the PDF really needs to eb created with the AI editing capability turned on. That way, AI is opening the AI data contained in the PDF, not the PDF data.
Take care, Mike
***Oops, cross-post. I see you did preserve the AI data now.***

Text does not display in address bar or any windows I open

Text does not display when typing in address bar. When I open a window (eg Edit > Preferences) no text is displayed within that either.
Problem has persisted through Ubuntu 12.04 (possibly 11.10) to 13.04. Has also remained after re-installs, both through use of Software Centre, and through Terminal commands, and after running purge of all firefox content.
Running Firefox as root using gksu command also doesnt help.

Have finally solved,
1st checked default system fonts available using unity-tweak
Then went to ~.mozilla/firefox and found prefs.js file, deleted everything to do with fonts and families, saved and restarted.
The odd thing is how this file persisted despite removing and purging firefox.

Bold text does not display in internet browsers

I am working on editing a website for a client that I did not originally create so I am having trouble trying to figure out what the previous designer did.
I need to make certain text within paragraphs bold, which I normally do by inserting tags. However when I do this in my coding, it does not display as bold in any of my internet browsers ... IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc.
Can someone please help me with this or suggest what I may have to change in my coding?
Thanks,

The reason it is happening is because the element is the child of an , the is in turn the child of a tag and all of them are set to inherit the font attributes from thier parent tags. The first parent in the chain with a font setting is the <div> tag with the "left_column" class.
The "left_column" class tells all of those child tags to set their text as 14px, black, Arial due to the font:inherit.
The reset is meant to allow you to create css styles for all future tags without any default style being applied by the browser (as Rik suggests, creating the actual " strong {font-weight:bold;}" in your css would also do the trick). Since you don't specify any attributes for those tags other than "inherit your font styling from your parent", they take their attributes from the first parent element with an attribute.

Lion text problem: Some text does not display properly in Safari and Firefox

Hello
Some text in Safari and Firefox is seriously degraded, making it useless. I changed to Firefox because Safari was displaying wrongly, but Firefox displays the same way, so it seems to be an OS problem. See image as an example:
I cannot see subtitles on BBC streamed movies, and the timing of the movies on the bottom ribbon do not display correctly.
I am using Lion 10.7.5
Is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks for any help.

Unbelievable (and I still cannot believe that) - is wmode="transparent/opaque/etc" - not supported by safari ? then how do you suggest we go about transparent flash elements on web pages? why isn't it working on safari while on every other browser on earth it does?

Lync 2013, text does not display in chat box. Windows 7 pc with dual monitors.

Has anyone experienced an issue with Lync 2013 where when someone sends a chat the text doesn't display in the chat box. Or on occasion when initiating a chat, the text typed in doesn't display? The person experiencing this
behavior has dual monitors and often times when she is working on a document - then goes to Lync and initiates a chat and types, the words do not display in the chat box. Her graphics drivers are current, (8.15.10.2869). At one point she was able to drag the
chat box over to the monitor on the left and then the text displayed. Since then she has received a brand new laptop, windows 7 and the Lync behavior continues but now her dragging the chat box to other monitor no longer resolve text display issue. Ideas?

Hi,
Did the issue happen if only use single monitor?
Please update to the latest version for Lync client 2013 and then test again.
Best Regards,

PO item text does not display in form at first. Only after saving PO

Hi Guys,
We're facing a peculiar situation. We print line item texts of a PO in the smartform. However what we noticed was that as soon as the PO is created and we choose to print the po, the item texts do not appear. When we checked in tables STXH and STXL theese texts were not even registered in the tables. All this time the PO is saved.
Then we went back into the PO in ME22n, made a slight change somewhere and saved the PO. Now these texts appear in the tables STXH/STXL and also in the print out. What could the reason be?
Regards,

Hi
You should check your PO customizing, probably the text is set to be loaded in modification only

PDF text does not display properly

My coworkers made a PDF (using Acrobat Pro and MS Office on Windows) that displays properly in Windows, Mac, Android, and iPad (iOS 6). However, on two different iPhones (v3 with iOS 3, v4 with iOS 5) the PDF displays with no text and only black gradient rectangles where the first line of each paragraph should be. The backgrounds & graphics look normal.
Inspection in HexEdit and Acrobat Pro show it's in PDF 1.5 format, all fonts are embedded subset.
Any suggestions?

According to here, here, here (iPhones specification pages) and here (an article from NYTimes) iPhone can read .pdf files with any iOS version.
But in your case... Sorry, I don't know more than it... I have different kinds of PDFs on my devices (iPhone and iPod Touch) but I never saw something like it...

Text does not display correctly on web page

Much more often than I like, I will find what seem like randomly selected 'foreign' characters replacing punctuation marks (I think) that should be there on web sites. The following text is an example-
"This download is provided â€œas isâ€ and has no warranty. If you are not satisfied with "
I have wondered if it was a result of using a display font that didn't include whatever character was supposed to be there or if it was because I specified the wrong default encoding, but nothing I've specified in the Options makes any difference.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Firefox 2.0 was first installed and every version since

This issue can be caused by the bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or another (bitmap) font that can't be displayed by Firefox in that font size.
Firefox can't display that font in the specified size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or find a True type version of that font that doesn't have the problem.
Try this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
<code>data:text/html,abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
</code>

Create PDF Acrobat X Pro - does not display embedded excel 2010 tables in word 2010 properly

Hello,
I bought Acrobat X Pro and the first document I used 'Create PDF' on was a Word 2010 document with embedded (read linked) Excel 2010 tables.
When I opened the document after creating it the linked tables had a little arrow in the corner of a white box with a help text message of "click here to activate". The pdf is basically unusable.
Is there a setting to ensure that these embedded excel tables are created as normal tables - I do not want to have to keep pasting in tables/images into my Word documents when they are all updating automatically.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Regards,
Craig

Hello,
i am having exactly the same issue with Acrobat X Pro - with linked Excel 2010 tables in Word 2010.
Has there been a resolution to this eissue - it is potentially very time consuming to work around this issue for me.
I would post my files but I don't know how to attach them to the thread - only my second post .
Cheers,
slobbering_dog
This is the Word File - the table is an Excel 2010 spreadsheet linked (via Paste Special >Link) .
This is the resultant PDF file:
Thanks in advance - again !!

Indesign CC does not display linked PDF image on screen

On Mac1 (10.6.8) When I imported a PDF file into Indesign CC 9.1 as a linked image - the image would come in as usual, however the image would not appear on my screen. Only a blank page box.
I can see the thumbnail image of the imported PDF in the links palette correctly.
However, on my page it appears as a blank box.
Selected Hi-res preview, and still it appears as a blank box.
I export to PDF, and the image is there as it should be on the exported PDF.
I tried the same image on Mac2 (10.8.3) with Indesign CC.
The imported image appears correctly on the page. (no blank box)
I saved that file and opened it on Mac1 that is having the problem displaying the image.
Mac1 again does not display the image, instead it is a blank box.
Tried the same image import in Cs6. No issue on either mac1 or mac2
What could be causing the imported PDF not to display on the page in Indesign CC?
Has anyone else come across this problem?

Hi

I'm attempting to create a pdf from InDesign and the Illustrator image does not appear properly.

I'm attempting to create a pdf from InDesign and the Illustrator logo does not appear properly. The logo has a light blue color background with a black to white gradiant over it with a multiply designation set at 100%. I flattened the logo in illustrator before importing into InDesign. When the pdf is created, the blue background of the logo drops out and the only thing showing is the graduated screen of black. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Thanks for your reply Peter,
I'm on Mac OSX (10.5.8) using Acrobat 7 Professional and Acrobat
Reader 9 to view the pdf. I created it by exporting. Attached is a
screen capture of the letterhead. Since I posted, I sent a test pdf to
my partner's computer eventhough it didn't look right on my system and
she said it looked fine to her. I've restarted my computer and tried
again and still get the same results.
Thanks for your help,

Edited pdf does not display properly

I scanned in doc to a .pdf. It displayed properly on iPad (iBooks). I added some text using preview. It did not display when reading it to iBooks. Thinking it was a layering issue, I "Flattened" the file with Adobe Acrobat Pro, and freaked it to iBooks. Still does not display the added text. Added text is displayed by Adobe Reader for iPad. How do I get the iBooks program to properly read an edited .PDF? Is it really necessary to print and rescan the .PDF each time? Can I add the text in IBooks?

Stick with Adobe Reader. iBooks will not and cannot display form fields or edited text in a PDF as you have learned. You cannot add text in iBooks either. You can't change that. The built in mail app is also incapable of displaying edited PDF files. Adobe Reader is much more robust and feature rich than iBooks, which I'm sure you have already seen for yourself.
iBooks pales in comparison as a useful PDF tool. i think that you will be much better off using Adobe Reader.

Hi;
FormsCentral does not support Digital Signatures. The submission process does not handle a signature field in any way.
There isn't a method in our authoring environment creating a new form in FormsCentral to add a Signature field, and for an Imported PDF Form there is a warning if a signature field is discovered alerting the user that it will not be used.
Thanks,
Josh
