Note function on pdfs opened in preview

When I add notes to pdfs opened in preview, they are placed in the middle of the page and text. Is there a way to move these around so that they don't cover the text?

Ah, you are right. I left the highlight function on, so preview wasn't allowing me to drag the notes.

Why don't pdf open in Preview, it asks where Adobe Acrobat is located? I never used Acrobat and do not want to use it.

I am using Safari 5.0.5 and open a page that is a PDF and only a black screen comes up and asks where I have Adobe Acrobat. I do not have Acrobat and want to use preview. I looked in the Safari preferences and there is no place to set it so PDFs only use Preview. Please help!

In the Get Info panel from the pop up menu next to: Open with
Select: Preview
Then click: Change All

PDF opens in preview instead of ibooks

All my imported PDF's open up in preview instead of ibooks ?!
Any hint ?

If you want your PDF files to open with iBooks, then you can follow these procedures. (some PDFs will not work with these):
Open Finder and search for the PDF file you want to open with iBooks.
Right-click the file you've selected and point the mouse cursor to Open With...
In the Open With... menu, select which application you want to open with the file, then select iBooks.
(You can also open it with the Other menu if iBooks is not listed in recommended applications to open the file. To open, select the Other menu, under the applications list, then you will see the Enable selection box. Change Recommended Applications to All Applications. Now, select iBooks in the applications list.)
Warning:
Do not check the Always Open With checkbox. This will make all your PDF files open with iBooks, as this makes iBooks the default PDF reader instead of Preview. Some PDFs will not work with iBooks.
Use the procedure above with caution.

Well you can drag your PDF to the table of Contents>Books in the left margin
however, PDF will still open in Preview.
Books will open in the iBooks interface.

PDF open in Preview

I am new at this and need help. I am creating a website and I
have linked several PDF files to the site. I need visitors to be
able to zoom in and out of the files. But the files are openning in
a new browser window - not in acrobat or preview. How do I get the
pdf files to open in preview?

It depends on how 'they' have their system configured. Theres
not much you
can do about it sorry.

Widgets Do Not Function in Browser, Only in Preview Mode.

I created a lightbox and a tabbed section on separate pages, and the wodgets do not function when I test in browser or or open html conversions in a browser. They test fine in preview mode.

Actually, the problem seems to be Explorer. Works fine in Safari. Frequently have to insert fixes for special problems in IE. Are there any fixes for IE's peculiar problems?
Also works fine in Mozilla FF & Chrome. Mulitple problems in IE with display, and Widgets are completely non-functional.

I am referring to the attached files, which are a Muse site conversion to html. I have had problems in the past emailing web info, so if you want me to ftp the files somewhere, I can do that. These pages have not been published yet.
The two pages in question are in the file. If you open them in IE, the widgets do not function. In the index page, the text in the New & Events area to the right are Lightbox links. In the cottages page, you can see the slide show in the main middle are and the tabs on the right in the shadow box.
The side show works off and on. The lightbox (index) and tabs (cottages) do not function at all. There are no error messages. IE does not indicate working links (no finger).
As I believe you know, IE has problems displaying things that other browsers do not. Dreamweaver templates, for example, include a blockquote instruction for html5 that is needed for IE to display certain items properly. Since the pages will function normally in Safari, Mozilla FF and Google Chrome, I conclude there is a problem with IE.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
William Gunn

Firefox will not open some sites and does not function on those opened

Firefox does not open comcast.net and fails to respond on other websites. It opens others but does not function once opened.

I am an ordinary user and use FireFox on a Windows XP pro sp2 OS.
I can open and run FireFox by a variety of methods, and do not need to have any firefox: folders, files, or shortcuts on my Desktop unless I so wish.
I suspect you have a rather none standard installation. The quickest solution may well be to uninstall FireFox ( which you have presumably not been able to use anyway) and reinstall it. I would suggest; at least initially; you just use the standard default installation you are offered.
You will probably find this page of use, the [http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/3.6.13/releasenotes/ Release Notes], it includes links for downloading FireFox, and has advice and information about installing and downloading.
I am sure you will have further questions when you try to install but click on the blue link above and look at that page and then post back again and I am sure someone will try to help you.
I am assuming that you are already on the Internet with a browser such as Internet Explorer, and a broadband connection, or are you trying to install from a CD or something that has a FireFox install file on it. (if so what are you using, and what is the version of firefox)

Check box showing double when PDF opened in Preview

I'm setting up a simple check box functionality on a PDF my company sends out. I noticed the check boxes look strange when the PDF is opened up in Preview on Mac. Not sure about PC as we don't have one here. It appears to look fine in Acrobat but I believe a good portion of our clients will use Preview. What you see in the image below is the result when I make a check box and change the color to blue green. The black check mark over it comes out of nowhere. My temporary work-around is to make the check mark art invisible so just that crappy black line shows up instead, although I hate the way it looks.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

You should always include a link to the FREE Adobe Reader with advice that best results will be seen using it when you distribute a PDF.
Of course you cannot control what others will use, but if you expect them to use Preview you need to dumb down the design accordingly.

Pantones turn black when PDF opened in Preview

I am creating mockups for a t-shirt design, this top photo is how the design looks in illustrator with the correct pantones: blue 3115C, Red 119C, and Black.
When I save it as a PDF and it is opened in the Preview Application, certain colors turn black like this:
This has happened several times lately and I have recently switched from Illy CS5 to CS6, so I wonder if that is the reason?
Any clues guys? Help is greatly appreciated.

Apple's Preview is one of the worst PDF viewers ever. Standard advice for just about every problem is "use the FREE Adobe Reader instead".
That said, I'm intrigued:
> I have recently switched from Illy CS5 to CS6, so I wonder if that is the reason?
Can you test this?
A PMS ink does not "have" a color to display on screen, since the ink name in itself is enough to unambiguously identify it (when printing as color separations, to be exact). But (1) one would appreciate a fairly accurate preview, and (2) sometimes one needs to convert a PMS ink to its nearest equivalent in CMYK. For that reason, an approximation of the ink used should be stored into the PDF as well. I can't imagine Adobe forgot about that for CS6 (if so, your file won't work with Reader either), but maybe they switched it to a notation that poor dumb Preview cannot handle. In that case, I'm curious about what the difference could be.
If you can create a small file that demonstrably works correct in Preview when exported from CS5 and *not* from CS6, can you post both PDFs somewhere?

Wrong font in PDF opened in Preview

I have a Mac G5-Intel running 10.5.4. The problem is as follows:
I make a figure (a plot) with Igor, save the plot as EPS. I use Preview or "epstopdf" command to get the PDF.
For figures I processed before this problem showed up, the Preview displays the wrong font, but Acrobat displays the correct font (this is the font I selected in Igor when I first made the plot).
For figures processed after the problem showed up, both Preview and Acrobat display the same wrong font.
If I open the EPS version using some other application such as Canvas (a drafting software), the font displays correctly.
If I try to alter the font in the PDF file using Acrobat (full version), the font cannot always be changed because "The compatible system font and the document font may differ and some characters may look different. If the font is not on your system, there will be no way to re-embed it. Do you want to proceed?" message appears. I click "yes" and the font changes to Arial (I had requested Helvetica).
If I then want to change the font again to the previous condition, Acrobat refuses because "The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the font encodings in the document differ and could not be resolved."
The problem never occurred in my older Mac Power PC running 10.4. In my new Intel Mac, there was a trouble-free couple of weeks after I got the machine.
The problem doesn't happen when I take my pdf figures to a colleague's identical machine or to my Intel MacBook Pro laptop running 10.5.2.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The problem also affects the same plots when they are part of a Latex output PDF made with TexShop. I thought this is normal, since Texshop uses Mac's PDF Preview machinery to process.

Endnotes not functioning in PDF--can jump to, but not back again

Hi there
I created a text document in NeoOffice 2.2.5, with endnotes. I am able to jump to the endnotes in NeoOffice by clicking the superscript number in the main text, which takes me to the appropriate endnote. I then click the number next to the endnote in the endnotes section, and it takes me back to the main text location. It's quick and easy. I would like this to happen once I've exported the document to a PDF file, but I can't seem to accomplish that. First, I chose Export As PDF from the File drop down menu in NeoOffice, and made sure in the General settings in that export that I've ticked including the Endnotes. When I open this PDF in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (8.1.4), I am able to click on the endnote number within the main text, and it takes me to the right endnote. But I am not able to then click on the number in the endnote section to easily return back to the location in the main text. Instead, I have to scroll back up and find it manually. I've also tried printing the NeoOffice document and choosing Adobe PDF 8.0 as the printer, rather than choosing Export as PDF. The document that results when choosing Adobe PDF 8.0 printer does not even allow me to click on the endnote number within the main text. I have to scroll down manually to get to the endnotes and scroll manually to get back to the main text again.
Any suggestions?? By the way, I'm working on a MacBook Pro.

Links need to be manually entered in the pdf using Acrobat link tool.

Fonts not Rendering in PDFs Adobe Acrobat, Preview

We use custom fonts for a lot of our work as designers. Some of these fonts, particularly 'Oswald' renders terribly in any PDF in OSX Yosemite.on
These fonts render correctly in MS Word in Mac and Windows computers (sigh).
Please advise and thanks in advance.

I had the same problem as you with the same font. It turns out it's a bug with OpenType fonts, so convert it to a TrueType font instead, and it's fixed!

Remove old fonts from Library\Fonts folder, install new TTF files. Tada!

Bookmakrs work inside InDesign CS3 but not in the PDF (Reader or Preview)

I have a list of bookmarks set to specific pages. In InDesign they all lead to the correct pages but when viewing the PDF only two work right, the rest jumps to a different page. I checked the Bookmark description (hover over it in InDesign CS3) and they name the right page. What could I be doing wrong and why do some work? Thanks a lot!

Highlighting PDF's in Preview

I have managed to find the button on which to do this, under the annotations toolbar, however when i press the button it does not highlight the document. I am a little confused as to why and what to do about this. Please help?

actually the PDF opened through Preview are able to highlight.
As far as I know, you need to open the PDF on Preview, click on the pencil icon (this way it will turn to blue), so every word you select will change its color to the one you select in the alias next to the pencil.
I wish I could help;

PDF opens blank window

I have an application that opens pdf in an iframe. There are several pdfs that are opening fine. However, after the most recent Reader 10.1 upgrade, a particular pdf is showing a blank frame. The pdfs stream data from the server and display the populated pdf.
The pdf opens up fine the first time it is opened. The second time it is opened, it displays a blank frame. I have waited 10 minutes for it and nothing displays. If anything, it should open faster the second time. If I shut down IE and reopen, it again works the first time and then it fails the subsequent times. If this is not the first pdf opened when IE is brought up, then it shows the blank frame when you open this pdf.
The pdf data is streamed from the server.
There is a link on the site to open the pdf. The link opens up an input dialog. After filling in a couple of fields in the dialog and hitting OK, the pdf opens. I mention this because there are other pdfs in the site that do not take input; these pdfs open directly from a link; these stream data from the server; and these pdfs open fine every time I open them.Windows XP Service Pack 3, IE 7, Adobe Reader 10.1
This pdf was working fine in Reader X and previous versions of Reader.
This pdf works fine in Windows 7, IE 8 and IE 9.
This pdf works fine in Windows XP, IE 8.
Can someone help me figure out what is causing this pdf to fail?

Thank you very much for the reply. I followed your instructions. This fixed half of the problem. Links to pdf files that are on web pages now come up with a box that asks if I want to open or save the file, without a blank browser window in the background. That is great.
When I tested the fix with pdf file links in email, the problem still exists. I tested links in Outlook Express, Yahoo mail, and Gmail. Any time I click on a pdf link in an email, a blank Firefox window opens and then I get the small window that asks me if I want to open or save the file. Sounds like this is a configuration issue, not a technical problem. Thanks for your help.
