Mac Preview made view able on PC?

Is there an easy way to make the non viewable information typed into a form viewable and saveable on my PC using adobe reader XI and windows 7?
thanks Liam

INDD are completely cross platform, fonts are not.
If you work between Mac and Windows you should take care to use only OpenType Fonts, because they are the same on Mac and Windows.
The Mac can read Windows fonts, but Windows is not able to use Mac only fonts. Here will be the problem.

    can you please tell me how do I find the file information on a document I have open in preview.
    I cant work out how to see the path??
    and there doesnt seem to be a 'get info' or "show file in finder option"  ?
    thanks

    One way to see the path is to press the command key and click on the title of the Preview window. You will get a display of folders corresponding to the path to the file. If you click on the entry just below the title it will open the enclosing folder and show you the file in the Finder.
    and there doesnt seem to be a 'get info' or "show file in finder option"  ?
    thanks
    Once you have the folder selected in its folder (from the previous step) inside the Finder (not Preview), you can do the Get info thing.

  • Why do some black-and-white photos disappear in Mac Preview and Safari?

    I sent a PDF to a colleague recently only to discover that he uses Mac Preview to view PDFs and not Adobe Reader. The unfortunate part is that, although full-color photos all appeared, small black-and-whites were inconsistent: some appeared and others did not.
    Moreover, the same problem turns up when using Safari, though Google Chrome displays the PDF perfectly.
    One reference point is that a full version of the PDF appears just fine in Preview and Safari. It's when the original is reduced or optimized that some of the small black-and-white photos disappear. Of course all photos appear in Reader, even when they PDF is reduced or optimized.
    I have examined the small photos and have been unable to find any consistent trait among those that appear and among those that do not. I have experimented with them: layered and flat, with and without alpha channels, with and without profiles, as RGB and grayscale, with byte order for IBM PC and Mac, as TIFFs and JPEGs — in other words in every variation I could think of. I have used both Acrobat Pro 8.3.1 and Acrobat XI. Nothing I have tried has varied the outcome.
    The obvious solution is to avoid Mac Preview and Safari, but I am planning to distribute a complicated project to a large audience and can't control what viewers they use.
    Does anyone know what the problem is?

    As I reported and you confirm, the things I tried had no effect.
    You point to the compression and image settings, but that leaves the question why some photos and not others showed up: presumably they were all subjected to the same compression and image settings.
    There are a great many possible permutations of compression and image settings, and I'm on deadline. Is there perhpas a combination of compression and image settings you recommend?
    Thanks!

  • Hi! I'm a Windows XP convert... switched to an imac about 4 months ago and am LOVIN' it  As a graphics designer I did use a feature on my Windows machine which I really miss on my mac... beaing able to see a preview of one of the images in a folder on top

    Hi! I'm a Windows XP convert... switched to an imac about 4 months ago and am LOVIN' it As a graphics designer I did use a feature on my Windows machine which I really miss on my mac... beaing able to see a preview of one of the images in a folder on top of the folder icon. In other words, in Windows, you can see the first image that is inside the folder as an icon on the folder itself. Is there a way to do this on the mac? Maybe some software program that will do it? Thanks for you help!

    It would be brilliant if Apple could make picture folders behave like events in iPhoto. You could see a photo on the folder, and also mouse over it to change pictures.
    But no, there's not an application I'm aware of that does this. You can manually make a picture the folder icon, but it's a tedious process.
    Unfortunately this is another example of how dated and worn out the Mac's interface is. The concept of using a file folder as the icon for a directory of images is so 80's. You could use coverflow, but that only helps once you're in the directory itself. Or use iPhoto or Aperture, although they just do photos. Or try Lyn as an alternative: it has a sort of iTunes-like interface, and makes it easy to organize photos without having to put them in iPhoto. And it can display photos that are already in Libraries.
    But you'd probably need a Finder alternative. I use Leap, which displays any type of document. It also does tagging, which is another huge omission in the Finder. More like Windows Explorer (although still no photo on folder icons).
    Another very stylish Finder alternative, especially useful for pictures, is FileBrowse. I don't know why it hasn't gotten more attention. It DOES put photo previews on the folders it shows. And allows one-click expansion to show the photo enlarged. It's super fast, and even allow you to group/sort by camera or flash! It really has to be seen to be appreciated. It works in Lion, although it doesn't seem to be have been updated lately. http://www.filebrowse.com/index.html

  • How can I see what my eBook looks like in Mac Preview?

    I just wrote and published an ebook online. Some of my customers who use a Mac have mentioned the Table of Contents has weird symbols in it.
    It looks fine on my Windows machine.
    Turns out they are using the Macintosh Preview program to view my pdf file and my eBook is showing up odd when using that program. It works fine in Adobe Reader for Mac users, but not when they use Preview.
    Is there a program I can download to my Windows computer which will emmulate the Mac Preview program so that I can see what it looks like using that software?
    Thanks

    UPDATE:
    A customer sent me a screen shot of the table of contents. I used Microsoft Word to create the Table of Contents which made the table contents clickable (i.e. click on the section and you'll jump to it in the ebook).
    I'm betting the problem lies with the fact that I used Microsoft Word to create the TOC and make it clickable.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this while keeping the TOC clickable?
    Also, I'd still like to know if there's a Preview program I can install on my Windows machine.
    Thanks again

  • Is it possible to do synchronized scrolling in mac preview?

    Hello!  I'd like to be able to sompare two pdfs side by side in mac preview.  Does anyone know a way or an app that will do this with synchronized scrolling between the windows?
    Thanks for your thoughts!

    In the Browser select Effects>Video Generators>Text>Crawl.
    Double-click Crawl to open it in the Viewer, click Controls and do your writing and adjustments etc.
    When you have finished change the Viewer to Video and drag the Viewer window down to the Timeline.

  • When I go to Preview to view a photo it shows up for less than a second then disappears and just leaves a gray box where the photo should be. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). I need Preview for work.

    After the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 update When I go to use Preview to view a photo it shows up for less than a second then disappears and just leaves a gray box where the photo should be. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). I need Preview for work.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
    If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

  • When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this

    When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this?

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

    So Can My Mac Be Made To Work With iChatAV ?
    This question is asked by many who find their computer is below the G3/600Mghz Specs limit set for iChat
    See here in the second table top left box the listing of the G3/600
    Please note there are different Specs for Audio and Video chat.
    This linked Apple Doc has been re-written several times since it originally cam out that it does not quite carry the same help as it once did
    It is presumed that you are going to want to take as much advantage of iChat as you can. So I will talk about Video chatting.
    For Jaguar (10.2.5 - 10.2.8)
    Prior to the beginning of Oct 2004 there was a Jaguar version of iChat AV on sale at the Apple Store as a download. If you are at 10.2.5 - 10.2.8 and downloaded the $29.95 Version 2.0 of iChat for Jaguar, in preperation of using iChat, before this date, you may find some of this information useful.
    The WWDC Anouncement
    If you did not buy it, your only option is to upgrade to Panther.
    For Panther (10.3.x) and Jaguar (10.2.5 -10.2.8)
    IF you fall below the G3/600 mark then you will need this utility, iChatUSBCam from Ecamm.com This will enable the external iSight to work at lower spec machines. The current reported lower limit is around the G3/350Mhz mark.
    It is also will enable USB cameras for use with iChatAV, but there is little in the way of substantive information about Sub G3/600 computers achieving this.
    There have been about a dozen posts to say that it will use a USB cam on a G3 as low as 400Mgz
    It should be noted that computers of this age tend to lack Multi-Tasking and will find that iChat will take up most of their processor time.

    This is a link to the drivers already installed in the Mac OS. The download is not required. *See note below
    Apple used to list the DV camcorders that work with the drivers already in the Mac OS but now Apple no longer does so (Link removed from this section). *See note below.
    Essentially any Firewire camera will work with the OS. Some MiniDV formats can not be seen by iChat though.
    Many USB Webcams will work if you are at 10.4.8 or earlier or only UBS 1.1 ports. This will need the Mac Drivers and the IChatUSBCam utility.
    *Note: Both these last two lists were updated Jan 2004 or before. The purpose of pointing this out to highlight the fact that new cameras have come on the market since. They may work with these drivers or have their own Mac Firewire drivers on their accompanying install CDs.
    The Current list for Firewire Webcams is now here as linked above.
    For Tiger (10.4) and up.
    Much of what has been said before applies to you as well. Most firewire web cams will work DV Camcorder will work. USB cameras can work with the correct Mac Driver and the iChatUSBCam utility.
    However....
    10.4.9 now adds a driver for USB Video Class (UCV) web cams that will work with the OS and iChat. Not all USB video cams are of this type and iChatUSBCam is still needed.
    Mulit-Video Chatting
    This was added to iChat at iChat 3 in Tiger (10.4.x)
    As can be seen from the Specs linked earlier you need a Mac over a certain Spec (G4/1Ghz Dual) to be able to Host Video chats. (plus Internet Speed).
    Ecamm come to people rescue again with PowerBoost if your Mac does not reach those specs.
    Leopard 10.5
    In Leopard the criteria is also for a mac of a certain spec before you even start, This is a G4/867Mghz processor. If you have problems then see this Apple Doc There is also some evidence that this helps other macs with the same message even if not this spec machine.

    Prior to the beginning of Oct 2004 there was a Jaguar version of iChat AV on sale at the Apple Store as a download. If you are at 10.2.5 - 10.2.8 and downloaded the $29.95 Version 2.0 of iChat for Jaguar, in preperation of using iChat, before this date, you may find some of this information useful.
    If you did not buy it, your only option is to upgrade to Panther.
    For Panther (10.3.x) and Jaguar (10.2.5 -10.2.8)
    IF you fall below the G3/600 mark then you will need this utility from Ecamm.com This will enable iSight to work at lower spec machines. The current reported lower limit is around the G3/350Mhz mark.
    It is also will enable USB cameras for use with iChatAV, but there is little in the way of substantive information about Sub G3/600 computers achieving this.
    There have been about a dozen posts to say that it will use a USB cam on a G3 as low as 400Mgz
    It should be noted that computers of this age tend to lack Multi-Tasking and will find that iChat will take up most of their processor time.

    This former List of Firewire cameras contains a plain text mention of http://www.ioxperts.com/devices/webcam.htmlhttp://www.ioxperts.com/devices/webcam.html that work with the drivers already in the Mac OS. The download is not required. *See note below
    This former List of DV camcorders that work with the drivers already in the Mac OS and now list just links to the manufactures.. *See note below. With the proviso of the note below this is a list to point out what cameras will work with iChat with the current OS (and some of the preceeding ones). The purpose of linking it here is for those comtemplating purchasing a camera.
    Essentially any Firewire camera will work with the OS. Some MiniDV formats can not be seen by iChat though
    *Note: Both these last two list were updated Jan 2004 or before. The purpose of pointing this out to highlight the fact that new cameras have come on the market since. They may work with these drivers or have their own Mac Firewire drivers on their accompanying install CDs.
    The Current list for Firewire Webcams is now here as linked above.
    10.4.9 now adds a driver for USB Video Class (UCV) web cams that will work with the OS and iChat. Not all USB video cams are of this type and iChatUSBCam is still needed.

    As can be seen from the Specs linked earlier you need a Mac over a certain Spec (G4/1Ghz Dual) to be able to Host Video chats. (plus Internet Speed).

  • Mac Preview Crashes

    Hi Guys, I am having problem with my mac preview application.  Every time I try to resize or crop or basically do any modification to the picture, my mac crashes. Does anybody ever have similar problem? Can someone please help?

    I have the EXACT same problem.  A few months ago, I noticed my Macbook Pro started to crash and shut down randomly, but after all this time I have realized that these crashes are clearly associated with the Preview application.  The moment I open a file with Preview and zoom-in, or try to alter it with resizing or cropping, my screen goes black and I need to reboot the laptop.  Now it happens EVERY TIME I do this, so clearly it is an issue being caused by the Preview application.
    Does anyone know why this is happening?  Can I fix it by removing the Preview application and using any other picture viewing file instead?
    Thanks in advance for the prompt response and any help you can provide.

  • Seamless PDF compatibility between iPad Mini 3 and Mac Preview?

    First time owner of an iPad here - iPad Mini 3. Longtime user of Mac computers.
    I read a lot of PDF's and I am constantly highlighting. I bought an iPad exclusively to do reading/highlighting of PDF's. I would like to be able to highlight PDF's on my iPad and then see the highlighted marks when pulling up the PDF on my rMBP's Preview. I use Preview on my laptop because it is really convenient and straightforward for highlighting PDF's.
    Is this possible? I've just realized neither iBooks nor the Adobe Reader app allows highlighting of PDF's. I don't understand why Apple needs to make this so difficult?

    To clarify, I am not looking for something that permanently alters a PDF document, but could be "un-highlighted" by the Mac Preview app need be.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you should be able to log into iCloud on a Mac from system preferences > iCloud and set up photostream to download any photos that are there. You should also be able to use your iCloud back up to restore any replacement phone to reflect the phone you lost.

  • I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv? If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) and will that make them view-able for the apple TV?

    If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) that will make them view-able for the apple TV?
    If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
    Additional Information:
    Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
    I'm using a PC to set it up.
    If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
    Thank you for any help

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

  • I can no longer directly email pdfs from mac preview

    Since upgrading to Lion I can no longer open a pdf file in Mac Preview and then select "Mail Selected PDF Document."  When I do so I receive an error message: The "New Email With Attachement" service could not be used.
    Anyone know what the problem is?

    It could be a POP account which means the first device which accesses the account gets the email unless the settings have been changed. Here are links to show what is involved. It may not mirror your circumstances though.
