Odd display in Reader 9

Since I upgraded to Acrobat Reader 9 not so long ago, I get pixellated
blotches diagonally across all PDF documents I open in it - pink, green,
purple, blue, white, depending on the background. Does
anyone have any idea what could be causing this and how to avoid it? (XP)
Many thanks

Turn up the volume on the shuffle... also make sure your car stereo is actually set to AUX.

Don't use jsp for that, use servlet. because the jsp engine will send a blank lines to outPutStream corresponding to <%@ ...> tags and other contents included in your /html/base.jsp file before sending the image. The result will not be treated as a valid image by the browser.
To test this, type directly showcontent.jsp on your browser, and view it source.

Macbook pro with retina display cannot read a mobile hard disk drive

My macbook pro with retina display cannot read a mobile hard disk drive but can be read on macbook(the white one). What should i do to solve that problem?

Thanks wjosten.
Makes perfect sense. Guess I will have to hurry up and setup my new MBP with retina display.
Better get started.
Thanks for your help

Reversing display to read in a half-mirror (like a Teleprompter)

I have an iMac 27" dual quad i5 running OSX 10.6.3. I need to use the monitor like a Teleprompter, reversing the display right-to-left so it will read correctly when reflected in a half-mirror.
I'm wondering if I can do this with an auxiliary display. In other words, the regular display will read correctly, but I can connect another display for the 'prompter that will be reversed, so it will read correctly in the mirror.
If that is not possible, is there any way to simply reverse the main display? Many thanks for all help. - J. Beau

R C-R-- Thanks for the very interesting link. Almost, but not quite. My situation is that I will be doing a one-person video production most of the time, and I need the entire layout of the screen to be reversed. That way I can manipulate the shots and the scenes with the output editor while still looking right into the camera (or very close to that).
It appears that the Teleprompter software only works on the text that the presenter needs to read. I will keep that link in mind for later, though. Thanks again.

Odd display behavior

Happy New Year to All!
I just recently upgraded to Tiger. Since that time, I have noticed some rather odd display behavior on my screen. For example, when I am on web site that has a "fill-in" box, once I highlight that box to fill it in, a black rectangle stays in that position on my screen until I click on the desktop.
Likewise, if I highlight an icon on the desktop, a black rectangle outlines the icon and stays visible until I either highlight something else or click randomly on the screen.
I never noticed this behavior under Panther (10.3.9) and while it's not a huge deal, it does seem odd. It's as if the screen doesn't refresh after moving on. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brad
P.S. After posting this message, a black rectangle corresponding to the message edit box stayed on my screen. Irritating.

Hi William,
Yes, I tried both and booted / used my Tech Tool Deluxe repair disk. All no help. Don't know if they are related, but also have other odd things going on.
Is it normal to have two Restart selections, two Shutdown selections and two Logout Selections under the Apple menu in Tiger? I do. Didn't in Panther, but can't remember if I've always had them in Tiger. Should I?
Also, can't get my scanner (All-in-one, printer works) to run in Tiger. All of these problems go away when I boot into my 10.3.9 clone on my Firewire drive. I'd really hate to return to Panther, but ...
Basically, I'm getting some very odd behavior, from a system that has always been relatively bullit-proof until now. I do all the req'd housekeeping stuff, have both Macaroni and Cocktail. Don't know what to try.

Text Displaying Odd in Adobe Reader

I have a presentation that needs to be opened as a PDF. When the PDF is opened in Adober Reader (any version) ther text turns out terrible. It makes certian parts of the letters heavier than others or can sometimes have white dots in the bolded fonts. The problems are different for each computer I try and each version of Reader. Whenever I open this PDF in any other program it works fine.

You are using Microsofts add-in for Office to create PDF from XPS files ( http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/publish-as-pdf-or-xps-HA010067494.aspx ).
If you have Acrobat you may want to try using the Adobe PDF printer or the PDFMaker button in the MS Office applicaitons to see if you get better results.

Odd display behaviour

I just had something odd happen to my macbook display and I'm wondering if it's a defect in Leopard, the display hardware or some weird interplay between my programs.
I had nine open applications at the time: firefox, thunderbird, terminal, finder, preview, aquamacs, active timer, slife and MS word for mac. While I was reading a pdf in preview, i noticed a small light pink circle (only noticable against the bright white empty margin of the pdf paper I was reading), about 1 cm in diameter. At first I thought it was a smudge on the screen (from what, I don't know), because when i scrolled it stayed put. so i tried to wipe it away, and then I realized it wasn't on the surface of the screen. It also remained when I switched into firefox and there was white background on the webpage that was up. Then, when I switched into thunderbird, where there is a blue tinted background to the folder tree, the pinkish circle disappeared, and in it's place was a tiny white rectangle, about 2mm by 3mm.
At first I worried it was a dead pixel spot on my display, since it seemed to remain in the same place no matter which programs I switched into, unless it was covered with a white spot (then it reverted back to a pinkish circle). I put my macbook to sleep and woke it up again (hoping it would reset my display). I was just contemplating rebooting my macbook when I noticed the tiny rectangle "jump". It jumped about an inch everytime my mouse cursor got near it. After jumping several times (while I tried to click on it) it eventually disappeared altogether, and I haven't seen it in the past hour or so.
I'm new to mac, but I've been using PCs for a while, and were this a pc, I'd be immediately convinced I had a virus. But I understand that macs are not subject to most if not all viruses. So, does anyone know what might have just happened to me?

Cisco has finally figured out the issue.
The problem was in description tag there was an ampersand sign "R&D1" and "R&D2" when we removed it the phones started working fine.
I feel like I'm Cisco's beta tester on a daily basis. These are mature devices running on mature software, how do things like this slip through there cracks?!

Freezing on start-up, odd display glitches and streaking: what's going on!?

Hello all,
Recently the condition of my MacPro's performance has steadily declined and I have no idea what is going on. Upon cold start, the macpro freezes up when the desktop hasn't even properly loaded. Frequently, after having a normal start-up, I see odd graphical stretching and shearing of the display, as if someone were stretching a part of the display like rubber.
There will also occasionally be odd horizontal streaks (very thin, about a pixel or two wide) running across the screen.
To add to that, some video has not loaded properly in Safari and has caused frequent application freezes.
Can anyone pinpoint what is going on with my investment? Is it a graphics card issue, an issue with the HD, an issue of corrupt files/viruses, start-up items, or even dust?
It seems to be getting worse and its become really annoying.
I'm not even sure if turning it on is doing it any good anymore.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated!

Thanks, sorry I didn't post the specs but I was in a rush. I pulled the side off the tower tonight and I have the ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB card in my Mac Pro. It had been running fine since 2007.
I noticed it had some dust in it so I took everything apart on the tower and cleaned the whole thing. After I put it back together, I do not get the black streaking now. I still get some very small colored specs, but no freezing up of the system either.
If that card is prone to failure or dust issues = bad performance. Is there an option someone can suggest for the older dual core mac pro's?
Thanks,
John M.

Odd problems with reading DVD media [concluded]

There is an odd problem I've encountered...(I'm not sure if its a bug with Arch Linux or Linux in general).
Firstly, the details:
* I've updated the systems (using "extra", "current", and "community" respositories). So its the current one (0.80 "Voodoo"). I'm NOT using "Unstable" respository.
* I've already added the user to the "optical" and "storage" groups. So there's no problems in relations to permissions.
* My fstab entries for the CD and DVD drives are default (I didn't touch them)...That is, "iso9660" and "udf" respectively.
* My desktop environment is KDE 3.5.5...And I have changed the behaviour of the desktop icons such that DVD media, CD media, and USB devices will have an icon pop-up as soon as you plug them in.
* I have "hal" loaded in the DAEMONS of /etc/rc.conf
* I'm using 4 different Linux systems with the following DVD burners.
=> Pioneer DVR-108
=> Sony DW-Q120A
=> Hitachi-LG GCC-4240N (DVD-ROM/CD-burner combo)
* There are three Sempron 2800+ (Socket 754, 1.6Ghz) boxes and the last one is on an IBM R40 ThinkPad, and I know you can't read DVD-R media on that. But it should be able to read DVD+R media without issue.
* Two of the Semprons are running Arch, as well as the ThinkPad. The final Sempron box is running Ubuntu 6.06.1
* When I installed K3b I did: pacman -S k3b dvd+rw-tools
* All the DVD media is Verbatim DataLifePlus ones.
Here's what I've done...
I've burnt two DVD media (they're just video files from last year's Blender 2006 conference thing, so its legal stuff).
One is a DVD+R and the other is DVD-R media. Both were done on a Windows 2000 Pro SP4 box using Nero 6.6.1.4
What's the problem?
Well, KDE in the Arch Linux boxes doesn't recognise the media!...There is no DVD icon that automatically pops up on any of the Arch Linux boxes!
When I run dmesg on the Arch boxes, the only relevant info I get is:
ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
ISOFS: changing to secondary root
Now if I re-insert these DVD media onto an Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS box...The DVD+R works perfectly! While the DVD-R does not.
When I run dmesg on this box, I get the following:
[17179654.808000] hdc: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplet e Error }

If I re-burn the data onto a DVD+RW, Arch and Ubuntu immediately sees it, and KDE (or Gnome in Ubuntu), will have a DVD icon popping up! I can view the video clips without issue!
Now here's the really odd part...
When I load up K3b on either Arch OR Ubuntu, they recognise all DVD media! (As in, they can read the media disc information!)...Tools => DiskInfo
If I click on the PIONEER - DVD-RW DVR-108 on the tree menu on the left side in K3b, (to view the contents of the DVD-R or DVD+R media), it can't read and pops up an error message informing about a read problem. It suggests I try dmesg|tail to see what's wrong.
When I do that, I get...
# dmesg|tail
grow_buffers: requested out-of-range block 18446744073708569376 for device hdc
UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
grow_buffers: requested out-of-range block 18446744073708569376 for device hdc

UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
grow_buffers: requested out-of-range block 18446744073708569376 for device hdc
UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
I repeat the same procedure on DVD+RW, and it works perfectly!
Should I use another burning application instead of Nero on the Windows box?
Could it be the way I burn things?
(Some DVD+R and DVD-R are burnt with multisession while others aren't.)
Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
What are your "workarounds" or fixes?

It *should* work...But they don't.
I tried this...
mount -t auto /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd
I get this...
mount: block device /dev/dvd is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dvd,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I then do dmesg|tail
grow_buffers: requested out-of-range block 18446744073708569376 for device hdc
UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
If I try this...
mount -t iso9660 /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd
I get this...
mount: block device /dev/dvd is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dvd,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I then do dmesg|tail
Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
If I stick in a DVD-R that is burnt in one go without multisession, I get this in the dmesg
UDF-fs: Partition marked readonly; forcing readonly mount
UDF-fs INFO UDF 0.9.8.1 (2004/29/09) Mounting volume 'SW', timestamp 2006/11/07 19:37 (1000)
It reads this disc perfectly and KDE pops up a DVD icon.
I'm scratching my head as I'm not sure what is the problem.
Could it be hal or the way the DVD media was formatted?

Render button ok but fields displayed as read-only(solved)

Dear JHeadstart,
I'm trying to solve the next situation.
I'm Using a form with 'Same Page?' checked.
I'm rendering an add-button: when a row is not found I display the add button and when a row is found, the add button is not displayed.
This works well with the EL expression: #{bindings.<viewobject>InputDate.inputValue eq null} in the 'Insert allowed EL expression'. For if now row is found this field is null.
But when I press the add button I only get readonly fields where I'm hoping for inputfields to fill so I can insert a new row in the table.
In the jspx file I find, the EL expression I used, back for every field in the form.
The form is based on a VO based on 2 entity objects. One is always updateble (here I want to have the inputfields) and one is read-only.
I've also tried the EL: #{!((bindings.<viewobject>Iterator.currentRowIndexInRange!=-1 and bindings.<viewobject>Iterator.findMode!='true'))} which is used to render the value="#{nls['NO_ROWS_FOUND']}" in de jspx file.
but with the same results.
So what can I do to make those fields insertable?
Help will be appreciated!
regards,
Marcel.
After some more googling I found:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/html/B25947_01/bcvoeo009.htm#BABJEEFA
Section 7.9.3 got me on track.
In my create() the InputDate field was filled (sic).
When I used another field in the EL, it worked.

Problems with Conditional Display and Read Only

Hi Everybody,
I have a form to Add/ Modify Table Info.
I have column which stores numeric value (like no. of purchases, no.of returns etc.,) and I have a text field with this Database column as Source.
In some cases the value is a foreign key (Id of the Owner, Buyer etc.,) to another table. In such cases, I want to display a select list containing people information. Is that possible?
This is what I did to achieve that
I added a select list with info from second Table. Made both the text field and the select list to conditional display and conditional read only.
My understanding is that When an item is made read only it should not be saved to the Database.
But while Updating I am getting the following Error
ORA-06550: line 1, column 130: PL/SQL: ORA-00957: duplicate column name ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored.
Any can anybody help me out on this?
Thanks
Nimmi

My understanding is that When an item is made read only it should not be saved to the Database
No, all page items with a Source Type of "Database Column" will be used by the Automatic DML process to insert/update the database. Form inputs with the "disabled" HTML attribute set are not POSTed to the server.
Try to create 2 items, one Select List and other Text Field but setup their conditions such that only one of them is rendered on the page at any given time. That might work.

Odd Display of PDF Created with Pagesn '09

I create the monthly newsletter for a Macintosh user group, Capitol Macintosh of Austin, Texas (CapMac), using Pages '09. The newsletter is exported from Pages as a PDF and is then made available on the CapMac website <http://www.capmac.org/>.
A weird problem is that the newsletter displays as intended when viewed in Preview but not when viewed in either Adobe Reader or Acrobat. In Reader and Acrobat some of the included text displays as light gray and not the specified black.
I've found a weird work-around which is to change, in Pages, the text which displays incorrectly from black(#000000) to a dark gray. (#191919) and then re-export the PDF.
So, the question is am I dealing with an error in Pages or an error in Reader or Acrobat?
The version that is posted on the website has three instaces of text changed from black to dark gray. These are on Page 2 (the text between the bluebonnets), Page 7 (the article), and Pages 9 and 10 (the article)
Many thanks for any thoughts and/or suggestions..

TaliesinSoft,
What you are looking at is an effect of color management where the black text has been changed to a cmyk mix that results in a dark grey.
Why it is happening selectively I can't say, I would have said in the case of the bluebonnet example because it is over the tinted background but then it has also done it on plain white background.
You could try saving the newsletter to a .ps file and using Acrobat Pro (if you have it) to convert the file to a .pdf using your own selection of color management and distiller settings.

I gather you think that if Frank Lloyd Wright, if he had lived long enough, would have been a Mac User?

Adobe Interactive Form is displayed in Read Only mode

Hi All,
I created Adobe Interactive Form in SFP.
The following properties are set to the form.
Layout Type -ZCI Layout
Preview Type - Interactive Form
XDP Preview Format - Acrobat 7.0.5 Dynamic PDF
In PDF preview tab, I can enter data into the Text Fields.
I added this form in a web dynpro ABAP application using Interactive Form UI element.
The following properties are set to the UI element.
DataSource - bound to the context
displayType - native
enabled - checked
templateSource - Formname
readonly - unchecked.
When I run this application, the form is displayed in readonly mode.
I can't enter any data into the text field.
Any of you guys know that how to resolve this?
Thanks
Thruna

Hi,
I already face the same issue and after several days working on this issue and many hours on debugging it seems that interface type is very important if you want to use the form in WD4A (this requirement is confirmed by SAP thru an OSS message for me )
Does the interface based on DDIC or XML ?
If it's a DDIC interface , sorry that can't works in WD4A as interactive forms. You must define the interface as based on XML for this .
Hope this help you.
PS : Finally ,as my forms was very complicated my customer decide to not make it available in WD4A .....

MacBook Pro odd display issue, won't run anymore

This is a 2006 MacBook Pro 15" A1211 Intel core 2 duo 2.16 model. Diagnostics says nothing is wrong. The computer is no longer functional as it won't go beyond this screen. Any ideas what failed on this? Initially the odd video pattern was intermittent and if you booted a few times you'd get in and be able to use the computer and could get in via safe mode, but not any longer.

This is not a petty software issue. You Mac has a hardware problem, and you need to get it looked at.
You can make an appointment at the genius bar at your local Apple store, and they will evaluate it for nothing, in warranty or out of warranty.
