Missing data when viewing older pdf in Adobe Reader XI

Hi.  I have a large number of older PDFs which I can view fine in Adobe Reader 8 but when I view them with Adobe Reader 11 some of the lighter data is not visible.  Is there some setting which would cause this?  Do you have any other suggestions?

HI.  I didn't mention that Adobe 8 is on a windows server 2003 machine and Adobe 11 is on a Win 7 machine.  I was able to get around this problem by opening the pdfs on the server 2003 machine with acrobat 8, saving them to postscript files, then running them through Adobe Distiller 11 on the Win7 machine with the default setting of High Quality Print.  This seems like a lot of trouble.  Is there a better way?

  • VS2008 - ReportDocument missing data when exporting to PDF

    Hi all,
    First and foremost, I'm using:
    - VS2008 with CR Basic (10.5.3700.0)
    - CR 2008 SP4 (12.4.0.966)
    - SQL Server 2008
    I've developed a small VB.Net application that's supposed to simply load a report, set appropriate connections and parameters and finally export it to PDF.
    While it works on simple reports, I'm having trouble with a report that uses a Stored Procedure to link between two tables. The PDF shows all the data that's obtained directly from tables, but misses the details that depend on the Stored Procedure.
    This same report previews perfectly on CR 2008 SP4, where it's been developed.
    What I've tried, based on SDN and general web search:
    - Different ODBC and OLE DB (both SQLOLEDB and SQLNCLI / SQLNCLI10): No change.
    - Compile in x86 and x64: No change.
    - Add report to VS2008 project and preview it: No change; same data shown, same data missing.
    - SQL Trace while previewing with CR2008 and exporting with .Net application: This showed something interesting; one fairly  simple SQL query when using CR2008 (that successfully returns data when pasted to SQL) was transformed into a query with several joins and cross joins (that does not return data when pasted to SQL) when using the application. Links being somehow changed, I presumed.
    - Printout all the Database.Links from the ReportDocument prior to exporting: showed they were all correct.
    - Following a post on this forum I've inserted a VerifyDatabase command after loading and setting connections: I now get an "Error in formula" stating that one of the Stored Procedure's fields that's used in a formula "is not known". Commenting this line  results (again) in a successfull export of a PDF... but with the same missing data.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,

    I don't think the language was the problem, but I had problems teasing out the correct info I needed (e.g.; CR 10.5 vs. 12.x, 32 bit vs. 64 and so on. But I know where the problem is now:
    SAP Business One reports
    This is a special OEM build of Crystal Reports.
    It uses a database driver that CR 10.5 does not ship (something like crdb_SAPBusinessOne.dll (?))
    So, you can not use CR 10.5 as it is missing the driver.
    Using CR 2008 assemblies (12.x) will potentially be also problematic. While you will have the SAP One driver, you may not have the neccessary database logon APIs exposed.
    E.g.; more than likely, this will not work. But, you can try the following;
    Make sure you are using CR 2008 (e.g.; remove all of your CR 10.5 references)
    Look at the KB [1553921  - Is there a utility that would help in writing database logon code?|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533353333333933323331%7D.do]. there is a utility attached to the KB that will write out the DB logon code for you - in VB and C#. Use that code to try to connect to the report. The utility uses InProc RAS SDK which is part of CR 2008 and it is a free runtime - just like CR SDK. For basic info on working with InProc RAS SDK see the article [How to Use The RAS SDK .NET With In-Process RAS Server|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10b840c0-623f-2b10-03b5-9d1913866b32]
    Now, keep in mind that I have never seen, never mind worked with a report based on SAP Business One (thus my ignorance as to the name of the actual CR DB driver). So this may work. Or not. All I can do from here is keep my fingers crossed. But please do share any successes or failures...

  • Fonts in Excel and MS Word are not replicated correctly when creating a PDF in Adobe Reader 10.1.11

    when using Swis721 BlkOul BT, an outline-style font, I am getting another full-bodied text.  Also, upon using RomanT and Simplex, the simplest font in use, a conversion still occurs.  The print preview shows that everything will be fine, but the resulting PDF is not what is previewed.

    I'm using a printer called Win2PDF.  However, I haven't had this problem before.  The Preferences tab indicates local fonts are used, and the Document Properties only shows two fonts, Helvetica and Helvetica Bold.  How do I load the rest of these fonts that seem to be everywhere but here?

  • I'm trying to print a pdf I created and posted on my website, it looks good online but is missing data when printed, help.

    I'm trying to print a poster I created and posted on my website, it was created in power point, saved as pdf, and uploaded using wordpress. It looks good online but is missing data when printed. It contains almost all the information except for about 6 lines, which happen to be important. Any thought are appreciated.

    No its weird, everything was the same. I sort of resolved it, since he can view the PDF fine on his comupter but also wanted to print it, I just exported all the slides as JPEGS and made a new InDesign book with those on the pages and exported that as a PDF. Seemed to work for him, I just don't know what happened!

    I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

    Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features?  I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

  • When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks.  Adobe  Reader XI

    When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks.  Adobe  Reader XI
    I filled in this form with important data.  And saved it.  I have since opened it and printed it again.  Now when I open it the fields become blank  I can see them for a split second as it clears them.
    I believe I have updated to Reader XI since I filled it in.

    Hi Pat,
    Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
    I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
    I guess I should not have updated the reader.

  • Firefox crashes when I try to attach a file. Seems related to second problem, receive error messages when opening a pdf in adobe (which I've reinstalled twice)

    Crash report:
    bp-74bcae4f-7091-4121-a809-5d0a12140616 is the crash report.
    I have a Toshiba.
    When I open my email (gmail, school email) and try to attach a file, firefox immediately crashes and gives me two error messages. first one is a WerFault, i think. I don't know if that's relevant.
    Apart from these crashes in Firefox, I am also having the same problem when trying to view or open a pdf in adobe reader, or even open adobe reader itself. It won't try to open, I just receive the error messages. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it two times now. I did this thing suggested online where you go into the control panel and look at all your plugins. Then, "repair" adobe reader - pretty sure it's just a button that says repair. that didn't do anything, of course I also could have done something wrong.
    I realize this could be a problem unrelated to Firefox, but I'm doing what I can before I take my laptop in.
    Please save me.

    Ok two things based on the crash report and the steps you took right before the crash:
    # Try to disable scrolling acceleration and restart Firefox. Does it continue to crash?
    # Try Safe Mode and do the same task as above with email and the pdf [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    # Also pdf.js may be helpful to read pdfs in the meantime. You can change the default reader in the Preferences/Options > Application menu of Firefox.
    # Try to clear out the downloads folder and update flash to version 14 (that should do it)
    IF it crashes again please also provide the new crash signatures and we can take a look :-) Sorry for the crashing :-(

    Hello,
    How can I give a answer back in the discussion on Adobe.com?
    I don’t see any link?
    1.      We have a subscription.
    2.      Im converting a newsletter from the web to PDF.
    3.      Sometimes I put a weblink behind the image in the newsletter. Most of the time PDF wont take the links behind the image.
    Only the tekstlinks are OK.

  • Missing data when exporting to "MS Word (*.doc)" and "RTF (*.rtf)"

    Hello,
    We are using CR XI R2 SP3 in our product.  The reports that we generate (using ODBC dsn) show URLs from the database as hyper link text fields.  When we export the report to "Microsoft Word (.doc)" or "Rich Text Format (.rtf)" format, even though the export operation succeeds, the report is missing data when it encounters a URL that looks like following.  There is basically no data after that URL.
    http://www.xyz.com/kType=t;s.linkName=n;s.t()};s.ssl=(s.wd.location.protocol.toLowerCa
    And when it encounters a URL like following, MS Word complains that the file is invalid even though the export succeeds.
    https://www.xyz.com/m));if(m%3E0&m!=e)if(parseInt(c.substring(m+1,e%3C0?c.length:e))%3Cd.get
    If we export the report to pdf format, then everything works just fine.
    Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

    Hi Sumit
    Try to set the URL field with the RTF format. To do this try following:
    1. Right click the field->Format Field.
    2. Click the paragraph tab->Text Interpretation->RTF Text
    Now try to export it.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards

  • Texts in pdf form don't appear when viewing in Acrobat nor in Reader.

    Texts in pdf form don't appear when viewing in Acrobat nor in Reader nor when printed after the form has been filled. But the texts appear when one clicks inside the field. What is the solution to be able to print and view all of the texts in all of the fields that have been typed.

    More than likely caused by someone filling out the form with Mac Preview.
    Here's a potential fix: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

  • The scroll function on my mousepad is disabled when viewing a pdf file in firefox version 5.0. The scroll works on the pdf, but not on the other tabs. When the pdf is closed, the scroll function returns to normal. Any ideas?!

    The scroll function on my mousepad is disabled when viewing a pdf file in firefox version 5.0. The scroll works on the pdf, but not on the other tabs. When the pdf is closed, the scroll function returns to normal. Any ideas?!

    Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
    I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
    If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
    Cheers again..

  • 3D PDFs in Adobe Reader - "3D Data Parsing Error"

    Hi,
    I have just updated my adobe reader to 9.4.2 and I am regreting it already.  I use 3D PDFs on a regular basis and the ones I have that worked perfectly fine in 9.4.1 now do not work.  They come up with:
    "A 3D Data Parsing Error has occured"
    Does anyone know why this happens and particularly how to fix it, preferablly without going back to the older version of adobe reader.
    Many thanks.

    hey mark,
    i've got the same problem after updating to 9.402 this message appears and i cannot open the 3d scene.

  • When viewing a PDF document; cant you search for a keyword anymore?

    Hello (me again lol) prior to 2.2 Software upgrade I recall that when viewing a pdf document I could search for certain keywords; now I cant figure out how.
    First off, again I'm using 2.2 Software on Verizon' HTC Incredible.
    Next up when viewing a pdf I believe its using Adobe Reader.  I have a few options but one thing I cannot find is "search" or even 'go to" (page number)
    I believe Quck Office doesnt pull up any PDFs so I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to search for keywords; thanks

    If you are using the Quick Office Application or the PDF Viewer, make sure both applications are updated to the newest versions.
    You can do that by going to the Android Market Place on the device, then press menu and download, then you can see applications that can be updated.  
    To check for updates while using Quick Office, press the Menu button, then select Updates. Quickoffice will automatically check for updates to your software.
    You can search for text strings in your document using Quickword. Switch to Reflow View, then press the Menu button, and tap Search. A text entry field will appear at the top of your document. Enter the text you wish to search for and tap the search icon to the right of the text field. Quickword will highlight all instances of the text you are searching for.
    Copy and paste the link below into your browser's address bar for more information.

  • Mavericks 10.9.1. Freezes or trackpad becomes slow and unresponsive when viewing downloaded PDF files in Preview.Help!

    The earlier post was my first attempt at posting and had some typos. Repeated with typos corrected.
    I have a Macbook Pro Retina 13" Late 2013 with preinstalled Mavericks.I now have the 10.9.1 update. Almost from the time of purchase in Nov '13, I have been experiencing freezes and slow & unresponsive trackpad. I have more or less narrowed this symptom as happening when viewing downloaded PDF files. The only option is to force eject, if available or shut down. I spoke to Support as I thought it was a RAM issue and they told me that in Mavericks RAM showing almost full was normal as it uses RAM differently. They took me through some resets and cleaning up which has helped a little but freezing stll happens. This never happened with my Macbook AIr running Lion. Any suggestions?

    Macbook Pro Retina 13" Late '13-Mavericks 10.9.1
    Macbook Air 13" Mid '11-Lion
    Macbook Aluminium 13" Late '08-Snow Leopard

    So a PDF file that you can view in Preview on your MBA causes your new MBP to lock up and/or slow down. Is this right? Also you say more or less narrowed down to PDFs with Preview but does the computer exhibit this behavior with other programs and if so under what conditions? And how much free hard drive space do you have?
    Viewing memory use in Mavericks is different than with previous versions of the OS. Today it looks like we need to pay attention to what Apple calls Memory Pressure which is gauged by the bar graph in Activity Monitor and to the Virtual Memory being used. When the memory pressure graph bar gets too high it turns red and that's bad news. Looking at how much memory is being used doesn't help - I have a 16GB computer and with almost nothing running it still shows something like 15.79GB used but the memory pressure graph is just a think green line. So unless you see the memory pressure bar turning red lets not worry about memory usage at the moment.
    If among the things AppleCare had you do was reinstall Mavericks then I recommend a trip to the Apple store - and take a problem PDF file with you to demonstrate.
