Issues with PDF files having BLACK backgrounds

I am having issues with scans and pdf files opening with BLACK backgrounds and the files not being useable. Any hints on how to prevent this. I have Windows 8 and the latest version of Acrobat Reader.

the change was made in firefox 25 - that's why you're currently seeing this behaviour only in firefox beta. the general release for firefox 25 is scheduled for next week. <br>i originally also thought to recommend the pdf.js-addon as an alternative but i found it to be very slow on my android too. unfortunately i don't know of any other solution currently.

  • Issue with pdf files

    Hello, i am having some problems with the way PDF files are forming on my tablet. i mainly using PDF files on my tablet for aviation uses, and for some reason some Latters are showing up big on top of the   original text. i added a photo to show what i mean.           you can see for exmpale "FFM, FR,FW,FRD..." how can i get rid of it ? thanks a lot.

    A lot can depend upon which app your are using on your tablet device, the same applies to computer programs but apps are much worse.
    Which app are you using?
    I would try the free Adobe Mobile Reader. This product seems to support more features than other apps.
    There could even be issues with the type of tablet you are using. The Apple line may work better then Android devices since there is QA check and approval by Apple.
    Another factor is the how the PDF was created.
    How well are the maps displayed on your laptop or desktop? Try different values of zoom.

  • [Applet]Printing issue with pdf files on Xerox 4595

    Greetings !!
    I'm trying to print to a Xerox 4595 printer from a Windows XP station (limited account) using a Java Web Applet.
    This applet generates pdf files which have to be printed.
    The Xerox 4595 uses a printing queue that is detected by the Applet.
    The problem is the following: usually when printing a simple local file from this computer there is a box that asks you your login to let you create a job and then print.
    When using the Java Applet, there is no way to have this print box displayed. We have the Java Print Dialog but once clicked on "Print" there is no box displayed to pass the login to the printer and let us print.
    Is anyone already worked with Xerox 4595 and experienced such issue ?
    How can I, using the Java language and modify the Applet, ask the printer to send me the dialog box asking for the login ? Without this login no jobs are accepted and we can't print the generated pdf files.
    I looked on the printer queue settings and it seems that the Xerox uses the IPP to communicate with the local computers in the office.
    The server from which the Applet is used is a openSuSE Linux Web server (apache2)
    How come using Linux workstations any pdf files are printed (on shared printers such HP laserjet) and under windows there is jammed characters and sheet feed instead ?

  • Issue with pdf file exported out of Pages

    Hi all,
    I created a Pages document. I am able to export it to pdf. The pdf document looks fine. However if a user (PC or Mac, different computers) tries to copy text out of the created pdf document and paste it into another application (whatever the appli), the pasted text contains only ONE word per line. This is extremely annoying since I want to share my pdf file with people who will need to copy/paste part of my text.
    I am a new convert to Pages. This was my first "real" document creation. I tried with other documents and they did not have this strange behavior. This suggests there is something specific in my pages document that creates this behaviour.
    Please help,
    thanks,
    laurent

    The pdf document looks fine.
    PDF 1.x embeds the font data to be drawn in the document after stripping and subsetting the intelligent font on disk. If you want to share graphic appearance, then PDF is generally a good idea.

This is extremely annoying since I want to share my pdf file with people who will need to copy/paste part of my text.
    PDF 1.x does not embed ('encode') the input of characters, PDF 1.x embeds ('encodes') glyphs from which characters are inferred if the POST table in the intelligent font has the font-independent glyph identifiers for TrueType fonts from which characters can be inferred, or, if a PostScript font is used, if correct font-independent glyph identifiers were used in the PostScript name array.
    PDF 1.x also does not necessarily embed ('encode') logical content information that defines a concept of 'tables', 'columns' and more as extractable blocks of copy.
    If you want to share character information and content information (logical structure), then PDF 1.x is generally not such a good idea.
    Subsetting and stripping of intelligent fonts is done in a higher system level service than streaming into PS, so the suggestion that streaming into PS solves anything, though sometimes found in user fora, is not a sound one, "It (font subsetting, ed) is happening WAY BEFORE it hits PS - it is done up in Quartz and the PDF generator so the pdf->ps component is already getting subset fonts," Leonard Rosenthol in 2003, Adobe PDF Standards Architect since 2006.

  • Issues with .pdf file in Finder

    Could anyone suggest a solution to my problem?
    Problem:
    A .pdf file (lecture note) size about 1.5 MB. This file seems to be 'printed' from a powerpoint file. It is heavy on colors and diagrams. When 'previewed' in Finder (not QuickLook), spinning rainbow wheel appears and Finder Not Responding thereafter.
    The file only poses problems when in finder preview, no problems with quicklook or opening up in Preview or Acrobat Reader.
    Things tried:
    Restarted, Logged out. All the sane things that I could think of so far, but it doesnt help. I tried on some other .pdf that are of the same size or larger, but they did not have the same problem, seems to be this file? Or is it?
    Thanks for any solution in advance! I can provide the file if you want to see if it does the same thing on other machines/OS/configuration/situations.

    You say it opens in Preview: have you tried just doing a "Save as.." out of Preview? Does the resaved file still cause a problem for Finder? Does it contain the same info? If it will resave and work, you could then trash the original.

  • Issues with .pdf files and Firefox Android Beta

    I read the local paper online and the individual pages present themselves as .pdf files. With the Firefox for Android NON beta clicking on said file downloadable ads it and automatically calls up the default .pdf reader which opens the page. Some recent change in the Beta version simply downloads the file. I then have to manually click to open. Tried clearing defaults on both Firefox and the Kindle app, force stopping both, all to no avail.....suggestions?

  • I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
    /Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
    Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
    If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
    Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
    I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

  • Unique issue with PDF to WORD .doc conversion with Acrobat Pro - any ideas?

    I have been unable to solve the following issue when converting (save as...) PDF documents to Microsoft Word .doc using numerous methods. This could either be an issue that would be fixed in Acrobat Pro itself, or in MS Word - posting to the Adobe forums first.
    PREFACE: I am attempting to use the converted .doc file with translation applications/software. Google Translator Toolkit is what I use the most, but ALL other translators are having this very same issue with the .doc file. --The source PDFs are product information from drug manufacturers in various countries that I need to have translated to English. I do not have access to their source documents, as they do not provide their own source docs for obvious reasons.
    ALSO: I cannot use Google Translator toolkit to translate from PDFs directly - if you do that, it will attempt to translate a PDF and then export in an .html file, but it does not get the exact spacing of the sentences correctly, which leads to errors in translating - key things such as "can take with alcohol" and "do not take with alcohol". So that's out!
    I am not having any problems with the resultant .doc file in MS Word itself. It looks right, the spacing matches the original PDF source perfectly, prints correctly, etc... Reference here on a product info sheet from Austria in German:
    The problem: This is a screenshot from Google Translator Toolkit - the right side of the image - the spacing in the lettering from the .doc file I am uploading is not being read correctly, resulting in untranslated gibberish. (Note: this isn't a problem with the translation applications or software -- all are having this issue with .doc files converted from .pdf - this issue isn't present with any old .doc file that wasn't converted from a .pdf) -- It's definitely got something to do with some kind of embedded data in the .doc file that I cannot isolate!!)
    My settings in Adobe Pro (convert from PDF to .doc):
    Page layout: Flowing Text (this prevents the resultant .doc from having all of those text boxes, which also don't then work in translators)
    Include comments: True
    Include images: True
    Run OCR if needed: True
    Notes:
    -I have run OCR text recognition on the source PDF files in it's specific language.
    -I have edited the accessibilty of the PDF and have run the tag recognition and quick checks (to see if they solved the issue, which it did not - tagged or untagged, same problems!)
    -I have exported the .doc BACK to PDF using MS Word's function, which results in a great looking tagged PDF. THEN I re-saved this new PDF back as a .doc - same issue.
    -I have tried saving the PDF in all of the other formats that the translators accept. All have different issues. The only one that works consistently is saving to a .txt (plain)... The best is a .doc to .doc conversion, with all the original spacing. (I am not spending hours reformatting a .txt translation in word)...
    I can't seem to find where this spacing data is in the .doc file!!!! (Changing the fonts, sizes, margins -- doesnt fix this either). I have tried so many methods...
    Any thoughts on other things to try in Adobe Pro (or Word)?
    EDIT: Here's an additional tidbit of info that may be the key to this... There's some kind of coding that is in the .doc that Adobe Pro converted from the source PDF that doesnt display in Word, but that is being seen by the translation programs....... I have no idea what these are, but I want to remove them!

    I would suggest you look at the fonts that are being used. It may be a font issue that is not properly being read by the translation program.

  • Different filesize for PDF files created in background vs. foreground?

    When I create a PDF file in a background job the filezise is more than 2 times bigger than created with same selection in the foreground?? Why is that? Any suggestions?

    Hi Sachin,
    Thanks for the thread. But it does not help us.
    We should explain the issue of these sizes in little more detail.
    We have a program created for PDF outputs. The PDF form is created in SFP transaction like smartform.
    As you might know that a fucntion module gets created internally for the PDF form similar to a smartform.
    Now during execution, the function modules(for PDF form) returns an parameter called /1bcdwb/formoutput, which has field called pdf. This field holds the entire PDF output in binery format. We use this to create a file on the appliction server. I hope you can guess why the size of the file is bigger to the file that I save the PDF output on desktop from print preview.
    We are looking for a solution on how to reduce this file that gets stored on the application server using the binery data of PDF form.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Kiran Chevuru

  • Problem with PDF files

    Hello Experts,
    I am having trouble with PDF files corrupting the folder in
    which they are contained. If this sounds familiar, and you might be
    able to help, please see if the following steps give you an idea of
    the problem and the fix.
    I want to link to PDF files from a web page. The copy,
    consisting of several files, was provided by my client as Word
    documents, and converted to PDF by me from within Microsoft Word.
    I copied the PDF files into their own folder in my site, and
    found later, after leaving, then reopening Dreamweaver, that the
    folder was corrupted and unreadable. I got a message to run chkdsk.
    I tried working around the folder by repeating the process
    above in a new file, with the intention of ignoring the corrupted
    one. The second folder also became corrupted.
    I don't know if chkdsk is a Dreamweaver utility, or a Windows
    utility, or if this is a Windows, Acrobat or Dreamweaver problem.
    Does anyone know how to run chkdsk?
    Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any ideas?
    Thanks so much in advance for the urgently needed support.
    Richard

    chkdsk used to be a DOS utility, now Windows. Depending on
    the OS you have
    and whether it's Mac or PC, you can run it several ways.
    If XP > Start > Help and Support, type chkdsk in the
    search
    Other OSs, search for chkdsk.

  • How convert a color PDF File to black & white (gray scale...no color)

    How convert a color PDF File to black & white (gray scale...no color)??? creative cloud cs6... Acrobat etc

    Hi, just wanted to add my 2¢
    I've been in publishing over 25 years and live in Acrobat for making my final files. Currently with a newspaper.
    This is what we do:
    • Tool Panes > Print Production Window
    • Select CONVERT COLORS
    • Midway down under OUTPUT INTENT, check Convert Colors to Output Intent
    • In the associated drop down menu, I choose (because I'm printing on newsprint) DOT GAIN 20% – If you're working on better stock, choose a lower dot gain percentage.
    • Click OK – this will convert the file
    • Save
    Note: this affects the file you're working with. Make sure that you use this method on a COPY if you want to retain the original color version.
    I think if you compare my method to the Preflight method, you'll see a tighter contrast and better blacks. I've always felt the Preflight method left continuous tones a little muddy.
    Now if there was only a way to add that to ACTIONS...!

  • Issue with PDF

    Hi All,
    i facing issue with PDF format .
    we developed smartform and we are using standard program SAPF150D2.
    we did translation for that form englsih to  EURO.
    Now if we  see output in OTF format , it showing correct way in EURO.
    but , i we see same layout in PDF format,
    Insted of showing ( ' )this letter, it is showing # in the PDF layout.
    Is there any pointer to know soultion for this.
    Thanks in advance,
    regards,
    JBR

    This is likely a problem with the way those links are coded in the PDF file, so the file may have to be saved again using different settings to make it work with PDF Viewers other than the Adobe Reader.

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
