Mavericks / PDF save problem

Upgraded to Mavericks and can open and read PDFs, but cannot save them. I get an error message saying the file type is unknown or corrupted. I recently downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader.

Oh, ok.
First, we need to figure out if this is just a problem with the download process or if you are really having a Reader issue.
Have you tried opening older PDFs that you had downloaded at an earlier time? It could be a problem with the specific download fro the site you are getting them from.
You should try uninstalling Adobe Reader completely:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4793407
Then reboot your mac and see if the mac can display the PDF in Preview. If even preview can't display the PDF then try some different PDFs from different sources. It may simply be a corrupted PDF. If things start to work after uninstalling Reader then you could reinstall it if you have a specific reason.
You can then download the latest Adobe Reader XI again and reinstall it.

PDF Export Problems @ Printers - Save Methods?

I am working on a brochure that is mostly white text on black, with a few full colour pictures. There are also some manufacturer's logos that I inverted in PS to make them white on black too, all in CMYK mode in PS. Though there were still black boxes around the logo's they were going on the black background so I though I would be safe... I tried the "instant alpha" tool in Pages but the pictures are too low-res for this method to work effectively (it rounded all the points and made the images).
For the first proof I used the file>export>PDF>best method, and all looked good on my computer but the colours that were produced from the print shop (The UPS Store) looked appalling. Contrast was great on all the white on black text, but the colours were completely off. (however, there were no black boxes around the logos I was worried about, so that was a plus)
I did a fairly thorough web search of other print methods, and came across the file>print>pdf>save as postscript method that involved using Adobe Distiller to create the PDF rather than Pages. After getting a proof back from the print shop today I was pleased to see that the colours now appeared accurate on the proof but the black on black box problem around the logos I used now appeared and looked awful.
How do I fix? I'm frustrated and this matter is very time sensitive as there is supposed to be over 10,000 copies of this brochure printed by the weekend. Thanks in advance. : )

The objects in the page are not colour managed coherently and correctly from the start. For instance, if you have Photoshop set up to disregard embedded ICC profiles, it will assign a default ICC profile for the colourant model of the object (a type PRTR Printer profile with data space CMYK for a CMYK colourant model object, and so forth), but it will not save out that object with the profile it assigned. This way you get what in the graphics model becomes 'deviceColor' meaning that the colourants are rendered by the numbers as there is no definition of the colours you intend them to form in the printing condition.
Classical case is of a graphic designer who misconfigures or disables colour management in a page layout application, places deviceColor objects, generates PostScript or PDF, and wonders why the gray balance, the tonal range, the highlight detail, the shadow detail - is different in each and every tonal image in the page. Always, always, always unify the colour management for the page. Capture and correct in a large gamut RGB working space. Place three component RGB with correctly embedded source ICC RGB profile in pagination, and convert into one and only one destination ICC CMYK profile for the intended printing condition.
The way you are working would produce similar problems in QuarkXPress and InDesign - it would not matter what make and model of page layout application you picked.
Hope this helps,

PDF 'File Save' problem in Firefox

Using Firefox browser, when I select a PDF file that opens in a new window [rather than a new tab], save it and close the window, the AcroRD32.exe process is not stopped. If I then open another PDF file in a similar manner, it can not be saved. Each time you close a PDF window, you have to go to Task Manager and stop the AcroRD32 process before being abl;e to save a subsequent document. This does not happen with IE.
Using Reader 10.1.1 and Firefox 8 on a Windows Vista32 system.

Same bug i see in Opera browser. PDFs doesn't saves without stopping AcroRd32 process. And save dialogue doesn't appears when clicking links (even if web browsing function deactivated in adobe reader settings)...
Apart from this File Save problem, there is more strange things while browsing PDF online, like "blinks", hangs, image dissapear, suddenly lags without any reason, browser crashing and more...
So, because adobe reader prevents to download PDFs, and because it works very buggy with online browsing, especially if website uses adobe flash to show PDFs, the only right solution i found is uninstalling adobe reader. After that File Save problem was gone!

Hi Suresh,
I just tried this thing in my systtem and it is working... BADI is trigerred everytime there is a change in the PO... even when you release there is a change in the PO so this BADI will be triggerred....
I suggest you should implement BADI in your dev system and place a break point in the POST method...
After that create a PO and release it using ME29N... thereafter when you save the PO... this method will trigger and you will have access to PO details...
PS: Remember this BADI wont work for transaction ME29...

Frame Maker 9 and 10 PDF Print problem

Frame Maker 9 and 10 PDF Print problem
Hi I have an computer with windows 7 and the Adobe Software.
The Distiller 9 with adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Design Standard CS3 is also installed.
Now, I open in Frame Maker 9(Full Version) or 10(Trial Version)   an *.fm File. Then I go to “File- save as pdf” and then save I receive an message like this:
“to execute the ‘Save as PDF’ is necessary to have install Acrobat Distiller 5.05 or higher”. But I have the Distiller 9.
Then I can click OK and now I receive another message like this: “you must define “PDF job options” if you want to execute it.”
If I look for the PDF job options I can’t select something. But if I look in the Distiller I have a lot of option I can select.
What is the problem. Is there a solution?
Can somebody help me?

Using AW 6.2.9 and Mac OS X v10.5.7, the file prints successfully to pdf using the "Save as PDF..." option in the print dialogue. I didn't try to print the result to paper, but that appears to eliminate the file itself as the cause of the problem.
Two first aid steps that might resolve the issue:
Delete the AW preferences.
In the Finder, click the house icon (yourname) in the sidebar of a Finder window, then Library > Preferences..
   Locate and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist
   Open the folder AppleWorks
      Delete both cache files and the two preferences files.
      It's also safe to delete the Button Bars file, but unless you have issues related to the Button Bars, you're also safe to leave it there.
AppleWorks will create new (and clean) versions of these files as it needs them.
Repair Permissions.
Go Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Launch the application, select your startup drive, click First Aid, click Repair Permissions.

Barry

Good day, I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.

Good day,
I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.
When trying to merge the files, this file ask for a Password. No password was issued from the setup or mail?

Good day abrieb93050306,
I can understand your concern, however can you please let me know that are you able to open both the PDF files ( the one you converted form excel to pdf & the other pdf that was mailed to you ) individually without using any password?
As it asks for the password, it means that the postal mailed PDF is password protected. You can ask for the password from the sender of the postal mail & then try to combine the files.
Please follow the steps in the provided KB doc.to combine the files : Combine files into single PDF | Adobe Acrobat DC tutorials
This will probably resolve your issue.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.
Regards,
Aadesh

10.6.8 combo & 10.6.7 pdf fonts problem

Does the 10.6.8 update combo correct the pdf fonts problem that was inherent to 10.6.7? After a couple days of stress I had to do the lengthy 10.6.7 uninstall process in order to refine my doctoral dissertation. This has made me gun-shy & fearful of updates. Is it safe to update now?

The combo should fix your problem. As always have a back-up in case you have to revert.
The Font update came out to fix the problem in 10.6.7

Weird save problem Word 2004 using OS X 10.4.x

We have major problems saving Word documents using Mac OS X 10.4.x on a server volume. What really makes it odd is that the problem only occurs in the afternoon. The problem has only been reported by users trying to save using Microsoft Word 2004.
When the problems occurs it is not possible to save or save as on the server volume - Can not find volume. The volume is available on the desktop. Saving the file on the desktop works fine.
Mac OS X 10.4.2/10.4.3/10.4.4 with all updates installed.
Microsoft Office 2004 Swedish with SP2 installed.
It is a Windows Server 2003 with MacShare IP 9 installed. We've had the problem for some time and have replaced the server during that time, the save problem still remains though. It makes no difference with or without MacShare IP installed.
Anyone have any ideas how to solve this one?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
When dealing with Windows environments, I find it best to save the files as archives before sending them over to Windows environments. The file naming conventions differing by operating system, and the formats of what get sent sometimes can get corrupted when moving from system to system. This I found especially true when saving to a PC formatted flash drive. To make a file an archive, save it on the Mac first, and the control mouse click the document in 10.3 or 10.4. The contextual menu brings up a create archive. It has been my understanding than 10.4's archive format is more compatible with Winzip and 10.3 more compatible with GnuZip, both of which you can find clients for under Windows. Both 10.3 and 10.4 have the ability to open these documents directly when saved as this format.

Can not take a screenshot with Maverick and track pad. can not use apple chat to talk with a tech. there are other issues also like I used to be able to go back a page with the delete button. No Maverick PDF to instruct on how to use Maverick
THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard.
What is wrong with this maverick OS?

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

Illustrator cs6 + msword to pdf + links problem

Hello!
BACKGROUND:
I have a TABLE that I need to inserted into my ILLUSTRATIOR file.
Whatever method I'm using is failing as the text comes in but NOT the table.
Instead, I just do this: MSWORD > Print PDF > in Illustrator > Place PDF.
PROBLEM:
But when I want to make CHANGES TO THE PDF (changes in MS WORD DOC - REprint to PDF). The PDF file does NOT show up in the LINKS Box.
Therefore, I can't UPDATE it. I'm always having to re-insert the PDF file -- INSTEAD of like the other files PSD, or .JPG, or whatever else gets UPDATED.
QUESTION:
WHY DOES THE PDF FILE not like the OTHER files that just hang out and can be updated in the LINKS box?
Thank you,
M>

I'm using PC... but the LINK selection was NOT CHECKED.
Funny. I never checked that when I placed all the other IMAGES -- like ever.
Thanks, Larry, that's exactly what needed to be done!!!!!
SOLUTION: PLACE > Check LINK box. Done.

Does Mavericks have the problem fixed with working with the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30 inch monitor?

Does Mavericks have the problem fixed with working with the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30 inch monitor?

I have this (or a similar) issue and I did notice something interesting. After I boot into Windows via Bootcamp (where I have the U3014 specfic driver installed) and then reboot into MacOS X (Mavericks) the monitor works flawlessly.
I would hazard a guess that this means bootcamp is retaining the driver used in Windows. Kind of the reverse of the TB GBE adapter driver issue.
To explain my issue for anyone else: the monitor flicks on and off as if the connection was poor. Connecting via HDMI. Connection is fine and as stated, everything works fine in Bootcamp.

Pdf fonts problem in 10.6.7 - resolved in 10.6.8 combo update?

The pdf fonts problem in 10.6.7 forced me to go through the long uninstall process after a couple days stressing over what the problem was -- it was Adobe tech support that finally informed me what the problem was. Is the problem fixed in the 10.6.8 combo update? Since I got no replies when I asked this question a different way yesterday, can anyone say (for helpful answer points) whether Apple would be inclined to answer this question if I just call them up (i.e., without existing AppleCare)? Any other suggestions for getting official support on this question? As it stands, I fear updating at all, and could be stuck with 10.6.6 for a long time.

The combo should fix your problem. As always have a back-up in case you have to revert.
