Mail attachment (pdf) not showing properly as preview

Just recently I've received a pdf attachment that showed some (hidden) layers visible in preview. Opening it in Acrobat reader shows no problem.
Other computers and systems in the company also handle the file properly. No one else sees it the way I see it on my computer.

Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.
When you reinstall, were you making Firefox your default browser? Some users have reported that ''not'' making Firefox the default browser was an effective workaround.
However, you may have success with this approach, suggested by a user in another thread, which appears to more thoroughly update the Windows registry:
# Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat
# Edit->Preferences
# In the Categories column click 'General'
# Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
# In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
# A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
Does that resolve the issue for you?

  • PDF file not showing correctly in Preview or other apps

    Hi,
    I've trying to find an answer to my question for some time now on the internet, but couldn't find it anywhere. When I open a pdf file from someone who created it using Windows diagrams that are supposed to be Matrices are not showing properly. Most probably the matrices were created using the equation builder in MOffice.
    <-- this is supposed to be a matrix
    There is also a problem with showing symbols like subscripted or superscripted letters (Arrows represent superscripted or subscripted letters, either up or down):
    And for some reason, when I try to quicklook the file, some pages are displayed incorrectly - only showing a quarter of the page:
    Any help on this? Is there some sort of an update to solve this problem, or should I download additional fonts??
    I am using a Macbook Alu from 2008 with OS X Maverick installed - all latest updates are installed.. (However the same problem appeared when using an iPad)
    Thanks a lot i advance!

    Hi Carolyn,
    I looked at your file and it seems the problem is with the resolution. The design is great but the resolution was too low.
    Fortunately your Apple Smart Object was high resolution so I was able to increase the resolution of the file as it is. You will need to replace the Bar Code and possibly the little flower on the back cover with high res versions.
    In the future you need to start with the document being sized right and the resolution at 300 ppi. Make sure your graphics are high resolution from the start as well. You can't regain resolution that was left out, although using High Resolution Smart Objects can give you the the latitude you need to size back up.
    After I sent the file I looked closely at the font. The one font you used does have zaggies but it's supposed to. Bradley Hand ITC TT is kind of a rough font around the edges by design. If this is what seems to be the problem, you will need to change to another font. Still, the file needed to be higher resolution.
    I sent one back to you in high res. All you need to do is replace the bar code and the little flower with high res version. The apple graphic smart object was high enough.

  • Pdf not displayed correctly in preview

    We have a new A) scanner (colortrac Ci40) and when we scan a pdf it is displayed in preview as if it is all wrinkled up.
    Only in prewiew and if imorted in vectorworks. (on both OSX 10.5 and 10.6)
    The same problem appears on a iPad.
    It is not displayed correctly.
    In all other programms I tried it is displayed properly.
    We also have a small a4/a3 scanner from konica minolta and these scans display corectly in preview.
    Is this only a preview problem and should I ignore it?

    Hi there,
    I have a very similar problem: a number of pdf files that I can see perfectly well in Safari/GoogleChrome do NOT show correctly in Preview or ANY iPad app I have (Notability, Adobe, PDF Expertm iAnnotate, Dropbox etc.).
    The problem is that punctuation -- with the expection of periods or bolded text -- does not show properly. For example, commas and quotation marks to not show, and some numbers to not show.
    Moreover, once I have annotated/viewed the problematic file on the IPad and resync to dropbox to view on Mac vis Adobe (which I do with most pdf files with no problems), I get an error message upon reopening the pdf file saying "Cannot extract the embedded font 'FAFWQV+--unknown-2--'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." (the 'quoted' text changes each time). When opening in Preview, no error message appears, though the fole is still lacking punctuation etc.
    Here is a link to one problematic pdf:http://niis.cass.cn/upload/2012/12/d20121201200145301.pdf
    NB: the file is in Mandarin, however I can successfully open/edit/annotate/sync other pdfs using Mandarin font so I'm not sure if the language is related to the problem.
    I would be extremely grateful for some help with this please!
    Thanks!

  • Thai characters not showing properly

    Hi,
    When creating a product catalog in thai language the characters do not show properly. The characters have small aspects attached to them that hover above as you can see here http://www.gte-premium.com but when editing in Indesign the small aspects that are meant to hover above overlap the portion of the character below and are not aligned left to right properly.
    I have tried every thai-friendly font I can find but this does not fix the problem, how can I amend this?
    Thanks in advance

    If you're using a well-made font, you can probably get the tone marks to behave by turning on the World-Ready Composer. It's exposed in InDesign CC and CS6, in the Paragraph menu I think, but if you're using an earlier version of InDesign it's a hidden feature that you would need to use a script or a plugin to turn on.

  • I have a new Mac and mail is showing thousands of incoming mails that do not show up on the computer.  does anyone know what is going on?

    I purchased a Mac OS x 10.9 in December. When using Mac Mail i get thousands of incoming mails that do not show up on my computer.  Does anyone have any idea what is going on?  this sure never happened on my old mac. i have three email accounts.  gmail, verizon and hotmail.

    I posted the same question a day ago with no response. I'm using an Acer x193w. You actually don't have to switch monitors to get it to work. Just make sure you turn off the monitor after shutting down the Mac mini (actually push the power button on the monitor, not just let it go to sleep). If you turn on the monitor (push the power button on the monitor), then power up the Mac mini, the monitor is recognized. The issue didnt exist with Snow Leopard for me. It only started after I started using Lion. Hope this issue gets fixed In a future OS update.

  • Tax Condition ZSRT not showing in Print Preview and Tax Register

    Dear Friends
    while we making Purchase Order the Tax condition not showing while print preview.  also not showing in Tax Register.
    Tax Register we developed.
    any hops
    Rajesh G

    Dear,
           ZSRT is a customised condition which you have created. So to bring that condition in print preview you have to talk to your ABAPER , so that he can incorporate this condition type to his customised print preview program. If your tax register is also customised then again you have to communicate to the ABAPER.

    When I select print from Adobe Flash 11.9.900.152, objects are not showing in print preview and not printing on the printer.   I have tried to print from both MS Internet Explorer and Google Chrome--neither work.
    I am using:

  • I'm trying to export a file as .dwg for Autocad but it's not showing the dwg preview and it appears to be saving as code (lots of gobbledegook when reopening the file).  I'm on OS 10.5.8.  Never had a problem with this before.  What am I missing? Any idea

    First be sure login and password are OK. Sometimes the address starts wit "http://..." and sometime starts with "ftp://...". Try both normal FTP access and Scure FTP access (SFTP). At the end, contact the site's provider.

  • Video will not show in the preview window

    I am using iMovie 08 and have some video that I pulled into iMovie using my iSight. Whenever I am trying to preview my movie it will not show in the preview window. I did a software update for iMovie and the issue is still happening. Any ideas??

    Although the same not preview-able iMovie event played perfectly fine when transferred to a different mac running perian and divx, disabling Perian solved the issue on my macbook, too!
    Thanks for the tip!
    I still wonder why some clips preview and some don't (with perian running)...

  • I changed my browser fill and the update does not show in the preview mode

    I changed my browser fill and the update does not show in the preview mode. I saved and restarted muse but the problem is still there. Any thing else I can do? Could it be something that changed in the file?

    Hello,
    What did you put in the "browser fill" area, an image or a color? WIth gradient or with solid color? Also, does it show fine if you "Preview in Browser"?
    Screenshots showing the Browser fill section (like this: http://screencast.com/t/RHqdVPP4) and the display in Preview mode would also be helpful.
    Cheers

    I have a bar simple bar chart which calculates surgeons and their percentage of surgeries.

    If i am just showing 10 surgeons it is showing properly.
    But if am trying to show all the surgeons (around 100 surgeons on x axis).
    The Flash chart x axis labels are not showing properly
    In this thread..Austin suggested to increase the width of the chart
    APEX Flash Chart labels not displaying
    If i increase the width the labels are showing properly. But the chart looks so ugly with huge width. Is there any other way to show the labels properly
    without incresing the chart width
    In Mozilla filefox i checked the XML returned. In the XML it is showing the labels but in the chart
    it is not showing up.

    The X axis is looking like this..
    s s

    Hi,
    100 columns is a lot of columns. I understand why you are having this issue. I think you have two options here:
    First, you could use a scrolling chart.
    your x-axis custom XML would look something like:
    <x_axis tickmarks_placement="Center">
    <title><text>Surgeon</text></title>
    <labels rotation="90"/>
    <zoom enabled="true" allow_drag="false" />
    </x_axis>Second, you could reduce the font size of the labels on the x-axis to a very small number, so that the text of the label is not wider than the column width. With 100 columns, you are probably talking about a terribly small font size, probably making it unreadable.
    your x-axis custom XML would look something like:
    <x_axis tickmarks_placement="Center">
    <title><text>Surgeon</text></title>
    <labels rotation="90">
    <font size="4" />
    </labels>
    </x_axis>Austin

  • Yosemite mail v8.0 not showing how many messages are in a mailbox. For example inbox. Before upgrading it used to show how many messages you had in your inbox. anyone know how to switch "on" the number of messages?

    Yosemite mail v8.0 not showing how many messages are in a mailbox. For example inbox. Before upgrading it used to show how many messages you had in your inbox. anyone know how to switch "on" the number of messages? Or has this feature been removed?

    Agreed! This feature was very useful. If you find out how to turn it on, please let me know.
    Apple, there is plenty of room in the window header all the way across on both sides of the word "Inbox". It's important to know many messages are in the Inbox. It provides a progress meter when you're cleaning out mail and striving for inbox zero.

  • PDF attachment does not show in Mail

    When I receive a mail with PDF attachment, I can't see any icon or inline text. Can anyone advice?

    All of my mail accounts either show the icon or the file itself in the Mail App. Try these simple things first.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad until the red slider appears, then slide to the right to power off the iPad. Turn the iPad on again by pressing the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. Once the iPad has fully rebooted, open Mail to relaunch.
    Try a hard reset by pressing and holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad while holding down on the home button at the bottom, until the Apple logo appears and the iPad restarts. Launch Mail again and see what happens.

  • PDF e-mail attachment will not open after FF update

    FF 31 and/or 32
    Outlook or GroupWise fat client
    PDF attachments
    After FF updated PDF's were re-associated with FF not the installed PDF program. Used Windows to re associate PDF's to PDF program. No problem, all PDF's open in PDF program UNLESS the PDF is an attachment in an e-mail.
    Open e-mail fat client (doesn't matter the client) try and open the PDF and user gets message stating there is no program associated with attachment. Yet, all PDF's still open with correct PDF program as long as they are not in the e-mail. Now here's the really weird part.....
    If there are two or more PDF's attachments in the same e-mail the first one will not open but the second, thirds, etc attached PDF's will open with the correct PDF program.
    The only temporary solution I have found is to uninstall FF, re-install it and for a 1/2 day the issue goes away. I have not figured out the trigger that resets the issue.
    FF is my go-to browser, but since v 31 this has been happening and if it keeps up, I'm switching to Chrome.
    Come on Tech Support, help us out with this issue.

    Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.

  • Attachment icons not showing inline on apple mail messages

    It's been some days since I first experienced this.
    On selected messages containing PDF, or JPG attachments, the message does not show the attachment icon inline. It just shows the attachment icon in the header, under the To: field.
    It wouldn't be big deal, as I can access the attachment by clicking the play button in the header, and then double click in that attachment icon.
    Thing is, if I forward the message, that attachment is not appearing in the message I am forwarding. And this is a little annoying.
    Suggestions anyone?
    Thanks!

    Go to settings > general > restrictions and make sure "iTunes" and "installing apps" are set to ON
