Page thumbnails disappeared

working in CS3, Mac 10.9.5.  Thumbnails no longer show up in Pages Tab.  Made no changes to settings.  Occurs in all files

Try trashing your prefs. But beyond that CS3 is unsupported under 10.9.

  • Thumbnails disappeared in Pages panel in InDesign CS4

    The thumbnails that show the page spreads and the master pages have disappeared in the Pages panel of ID CS4 (on Windows XP SP3). I can't figure out (a) what caused them to disappear or, more importantly, (b) how to get them back. In the Panel Options, I have Show Thumbnails checked for both Pages and Masters, and all 3 of the Icons options checked. Any suggestions on how to get them back would be appreciated.

    In followup, I tried to reinstalling ID4 -- a painful process. That didn't solve the problem. So I tried unchecking display thumbnails vertically. That worked in that the thumbnails for both masters and pages displayed correctly horizontally. I then rechecked display vertically and they disappeared again.

  • Why does Pages Text Disappear On Conversion to PDF

    I made a two-page newsletter in Pages '09. The text on the front page article disappears when I export to PDF. The text is there in the thumbnail for the file but when I open the PDF document, the page is blank except for the graphics and photo.
    I'm using pages '09 and the latest version of Acrobat Pro. The font is Futura Medium and shows up fine on the second page.
    Any ideas?

    After pulling my hair out for several days trying to solve for this, my son looked at it and in 20 seconds figured out the problem. The file looked fine in Preview and showed up in the thumbnail. Exporting to Word also worked, but the text disappeared regardless of how I arrived at the PDF.
    When examining the text box for the the "disappearing" text, my son chose "Bring To Front" from the "Arrange" menu and that fixed it. This made sense because all the other body copy text was the exact same font/style, etc. and displayed as expected in the exported PDF. Therefore, the problem was isolated to the properties of that one text box. In the course of laying out the newsletter, that one text box was sent backward in the layers and when converted to PDF, was hidden behind an invisible layer (there was no background of any kind behind the text, just the white "paper").

  • In Pages 5, why are page thumbnails different sizes?

    So I'm using 5. And I must say I think it's brilliantly done after a long period of ******** about it. I guess I'm not asking of it anything it doesn't provide and what it does it does very well - though I'm puzzled by the behavior of selecting text via the keyboard.
    Anyhow, that's not my question. I'm working with a long text document. I notice that as I work the page thumbnails become different sizes. It's subtle but it's clearly intentional. I reckon it's trying to tell me something but I don't know what. Haven't been able to find any info in the manual and was wondering if any of you clever people here might know. Thanks.

    This is what I meant about how rude you are though.  Your answer DOESN'T EXPLAIN ANY OF THE BEHAVIOUR myself or the other person were reporting.  The only assumption that I can make is that you posted here for the sole purpose of implying that we are both mistaken or stupid. 
    How is this helpful at all? 
    How do you have 32,485 points when you are obviously more concerned with insulting people than helping them out?  It puts the lie to the whole idea of "Apple Support Communities." 
    Also, I specifically informed you that your comments were insulting and unhelpful and politely requested you not post on this thread anymore or at least until you had some kind of actual information, yet here you are.  Posting again, with no content other than the implied insult.
    I'm not stupid.  I know what a section break is, I know what a page break is.  I'm a writer who has used innumerable word processing programs over the years and have been an IT worker for 10 years now. 
    I have a Pages document.  It has no (or only one depending on your point of view), section(s).  It has page breaks only.  The pagination is set to start at "1" on the first page and proceed normally to the end of the document (300 or so pages).  I am using Pages 5.5.2 on a brand new iMac.  I have NONE of the previous or older versions/types of Pages on my computer. 
    The pages thumbnails on the side, do actually CHANGE SIZE randomly as I am editing the document.   These differing sizes are NOT CORRELATED WITH THE BEGINNING OR ENDING OF SECTIONS.  These size changes are also NOT CORRELATED WITH THE PAGE BREAKS (in case you were about to argue the similarity of page breaks and section breaks).  As I work through the document and scroll up and down editing here or there, the size of the thumbnails RANDOMLY CHANGE SIZE.  Sometimes this is correlated with me working on a section, sometimes I can work on a section and no change happens at all.  The thumbnails that change size often change back again when I scroll back to them later on. 
    So please ... Try to act like a decent human being and either help out, or go away.  STOP POSTING THAT WE ARE WRONG, when you DON'T in fact know we are wrong.  STOP INSULTING ME by assuming I am stupid. 
    Why are you even here if you don't want to actually HELP anyone? 
    To anyone else reading this:  I am having a real bad time with this fellow who is just the most insulting person I have met for a while, however many of my posts about him are being deleted.  If anyone knows (including the mods of this forum) of the proper way to REPORT or get rid of a troll/abuser like him on Apple Support Communities or a place to report his behaviour, please let me know. 

  • How can I hide page thumbnails navigation bar at the start up of Adobe Reader and open a pdf file?

    How can I hide page thumbnails navigation bar at the start up of Adobe Reader and open a pdf file? I could not find this option under Preferences tab? Thanks

    Hey there,
    Thanks for your reply. That works for the files I do what you said. However, for files I have not done that, It still shows the navigation bar. Any idea, how to do it default for any files?
    Thanks agian

  • Why can I no longer copy and paste a whole page in page thumbnail?

    Why can I no longer copy and paste a whole page in page thumbnail?

    Apple has removed over 95 features in Pages 5.
    It has also introduced multiple file formats that are incompatible with each over as well as everything else, and numerous bugs.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

         Hi Frank.
         I have just had jb Atlanta's problem while adjusting the contrast on a photo. I was creating a slideshow at the time. After a lot of reading up I was about to give up when I tried restoring the file to its original settings as you suggested. Bingo!
         However, that would only work for me, if I restored the settings while in the slideshow. All data had 'disappeared' when I attempted to open the photo in its original project folder.
         Hope this is of help. Many thanks.

  • Page Thumbnails not displaying in Pages Panel

    Hi all,
    Hopefully a quick question...I've searched through the Forum and not spotted a similar issue.
    I have a user who is experiencing an unusual issue in InDesign CS6 - Page Thumbnails aren't displaying in the Pages Panel (such that the panel is completely blank - no new page icon etc.), and Swatches aren't displaying in the Swatches Panel (default swatches or new swatches - the panel is completely blank).  I've checked all of the Panel Display options, and have toggled the thumbnail display size up/down, and on/off to no avail.  This problem is also non-document specific, it's happening on all documents either previously saved or freshly created.  I've also tried multiple workspaces and that hasn't helped.
    I've also tried binning the preferences  and this hasn't helped...   
    Any thoughts where to start?  My hunch is possibly plugins not working/missing, but I'm not sure what/where to check.
    Any help would be very much appreciated...
    Al

    I hate to have to bump an old topic, but replacing my prefs doesn't work either. Tried restarting the computer too. Nothing really works and I hate to have to waste time reinstalling when I doubt that would help at this point. (hates windows).

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Watermarks showing on Page thumbnails

    I am seeing an issue with Acrobat, that did not appear for us, prior to version 9.
    We receive PDF files and add Security and Watermarks to them. The Watermarks are set to appear on all pages only when printed.
    However, in Acrobat 9, the watermarks show on the Page thumbnails (which we do not want). They do not show on the actual pages when viewed on screen (which is correct) and the Watermark does appear when the page is printed (which is correct).
    The original file is being supplied to us in an Acrobat 9 format. We are doing our work in Acrobat 9. We are not going backward in versions at any step. We have tried going to older versions of Acrobat to solve the problem, with no success. It appears that once the file is created or saved in Acrobat 9, this issue appears.
    Why is the watermark appearing on the thumbnail in version 9, when pervious versions did not have this? Has anyone else encountered this, even with previous versions? Suggestions?

    Hi,
    Played with the PDF at the link's end.
    Both the page magnification value and the page display setting affect what is viewed by a Bookmark.
    Whatever these variables had set when you created the Bookmark from the newly created named destination
    (or from selected page content) will determine what is displayed by the Bookmark.
    For a given page display, the page magnification becomes the significant variable.
    With that said, using a Named Destination will call for additional editing.
    (neglected to mention this before   )
    Access a Bookmark's Properties.
    Open the Actions tab.
    Select the Action shown in the bottom 'window'.
    I suspect you'll see a Page number where you expected a Named Destination.
    Selecte Edit. Tick "Use Named Destination".
    Click "Browse".
    Select appropriate named destination from the list.
    OK > OK > OK
    Be well...

  • When using Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader xi, I cannot find how to keep the Page thumbnails from hiding. We want them open.  Please help!

    In Internet Explorer, when opening a PDF using the IE addon Adobe Reader XI, the Page Thumbnail toolbar is shrunk to the left (hidden).  Our users access the thumbnails constantly and we need this to remain open by default but I cannot find anywhere that this option is set.  I would expect there to be a pin icon to click to keep it open.  In the stand alone product Adobe Reader, we found that you can click "Restore last view settings when reopening documents." in Documents prefs but this doesn't work for new documents (only previously opened docs) AND doesn't work in Internet Explorer at all.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Marc

    That would be something you could set at document level in document properties but would require Acrobat to make permanent.

  • Truncated (incomplete) Page-Thumbnail View (6.03)

    On my Windows XP 64 machine that is running two 1920x1200 monitors via NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 with the latest drivers I am having the following problem: in both Acrobat and InDesign the page thumbnail views do not show all of the thumbnail whatever the settings or the proportions of the view. E.g., in InDesign the bottom portions of the thumbnails is not visible and the scroll bar not shown with Show Vertically on in Options and the slides on the right of the window are not shown with Show Vertically off.
    This is most inconvenient as I am having to resize the window every time I want to find the missing slides.
    Anyone else is seeing this and what might be the reason/remedy?
    Thanks

    I don't see that the behavior you describe in the ID pages panel is related to a bug in how Acrobat displays page thumbnails. I seriously doubt that the two are using any code in common, and you describe truncated thumbnails, while the referenced thread describes thumbnails as completely omitted.
    If your point was that there might be a bug in ID that is causing your problem, it doesn't seem likely as it hasn't been reported here previously that I can recall, and a problem with the display of the pages panel would have generated a LOT of comment by now. Try replacing your preferences or udating the video driver.

  • I have Acrobat XI and am trying to add pages to a pdf. Tutorials instruct to use Tools, Options or Page Thumbnail to get to a drop down command of Insert Page, does not appear as my choices.

    I have Acrobat XI and am trying to add pages to a pdf. Tutorials instruct me to use Tools, Options or Page Thumbnail to get to a drop down command of Insert Page, but I have few choices in any of those places and Insert Page is not any of them.

    What do you see, then?
