Pages PDF picture problem with Adobe

OK, background--I'm trying to print a simple poster. I've always just worked up in Pages, saved as PDF (either through the print function or the export function inherent in Pages), then scooted off to Kinkos.
Today, when I got there, they opened on their Dell, read the PDF through Adobe and the picture was a negative image (or that's how it appeared to me).
Kind of freaked me out, but so I can home and checked here on my Mac and in Preview, the PDF looks perfect. Hmmm, I think, so I go to "open with" in Adobe and ITS A NEGATIVE ON MY MAC TOO!
Grrrr.
I thought the entire point of a PDF was to save exactly what you saw in whatever application you were working with. I checked the file name, nothing weird there. I went into help and I searched the forums.
I believe it must be something with my .jpgs, but I can't figure out what. Any ideas into this strangeness??

Figured it out. I'm just posting in case this happens to someone else or in case someone else has an easier solution than what I found.
I drug the original jpgs to "GraphicConverter" (my go to graphics program). When it opened, it said the original was in "CMYK" format, but that GC would save it as RGB.
What I remembered was that the offending graphics (that adobe messed up) all came from the same place--a design friend who did some work for me and the made jpgs so I could use his work in other places.
i replaced the original pics with these new RGB only pics, saved, exported, tested in Adobe, and voila, there it was.
So, simple observation, Pages and Preview both are very comfortable using a jpg that has CMYK as the basis of it, while Adobe is not. Figures the non-Mac product couldn't handle the curve ball.
Anyway, off to Kinkos again.

  • Importing Multi-Page PDF. Problems with Image Size Changing.

    I am working with CS4 on Windows XP.
    This has happened to numerous files...
    I open a multi-page PDF using PhotoShop using Grayscale. There are crop marks indicated on each page, so I will use the crop tool to crop each image accordingly. Then I convert each to a bitmap and save it as a .tiff file and close it. When I re-open the file, the image size has increased. It seems like it increases the same amount each time (maybe about 25%??) for each file.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I'm still unclear why you are bothering to open these PDF in Photoshop only to crop.
    Acrobat can do this most easily. Placing the PDF files back in InDesign can also do this.
    Photoshop is the last tool you'd want to use as it is rasterizing the vector elements/text and producing a larger file.
    If you have neither Acrobat or InDesign, look to a free tool to crop PDF.

  • Help - upload PDF file - problem with adobe

    We are attempting to upload a PDF file into an internet application.  We are told that our Windows 7 is not compatibale with our Adobe software and even though we have the file name appropriately it will not populate in the window that is available.
    HELP!

    I understand that it is difficult to determine which forum to post in since there are so many. This particular forum (sharing and storage) was created to help those transitioning from Photoshop.com to Adobe Revel. I am moving your post to the correct forum so that it can get proper attention.
    I'll put I this posting in the Acrobat community so the experts there can help you.

    Hi
    I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
    The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
    This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
    What can I do?
    thank you a lot.

    There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
    - Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
    - Adobe Reader (free)
    Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

  • I get this message when I try to open .pdf files in Mozilla: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1014:1014)

    What can I do to get this to work?

    We were getting the same error on a Win 7 machine which had Acrobat 7 (running in compatability mode) and Reader X installed.  When the user was trying to open the link from an email the error 'There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat.....(0:521) would appear and the pdf would not load.
    Investigating the problem I can across an article to uncheck the option "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet).  Undertaking this procedure in Acrobat Reader X however, I could not uncheck this and the path the app was showing was for Acrobat 7!?!
    Therefore, opened Acrobat 7 and undertook the same procedure.  Unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet) which I was able to do, saved and closed the application.
    Rechecked Acrobat X and the "Display PDF in browser" could be deselected and the path was now for ..\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
    Retried the original email with the link to the pdf and it now opens without error.
    Not too sure if this will help but just thought I would share.

  • Problems Viewing .pdf Template Created with Adobe

    I created a .pdf template using Adobe LiveCycle Designer. After I upload this template, I can not view the report. Can I only create templates using the BI Publisher plugin for MS Word?

    That is hardly a solution, the whole purpose of upgrading to Adobe Reader X is to avoid potential threats.  There is obviously a problem with Adobe Reader X and veiwing certain documents that needs to be addressed and the way to address it should not reside with "Use Adobe 9 and Adobe 10 and pick whatever version works for your document"

  • Problem with adobe reader, commenting

    one of our authors is using adobe reader x 11,1, and I send him a pdf (enabled commenting and measuring), but for some reason the commenting-fields does not show on his screen?
    should I save the pdf in another way?

    What do you mean by "commenting fields" exactly? By “commenting filds” I mean the tools in top of the page – delete, highlight etc. When I send the pdf, I save it as “file - save as -  reader extended pdf – enable commenting and measuring”, otherwise the commenting tools normally don’t appear by the author.
    Are they existing comments? no, it is the text in his pdf-book he needs to correct
    Is he able to access the commenting tools? no
    You can try sending a non-enabled version since Reader 11 can add comments to a non-enabled document. will try that J

  • There is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader.

    I have XP professional, IE 8, and Adobe Reader 9.3.  When I try to open any pdf files from a web page I see the following error: "These is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again. "
    Although, the web pdf rendering returns an error, I'm able to open pdf files locally.

  • A checked checkbox is rendered as unchecked in default pdf viewer of firefox. It is checked when the pdf is opened with adobe.

    I am using DynamicPDF to render a PDF. There are multiple check boxes which are checked. When the PDF is opened in Firefox, none of the check boxes are checked. However, when I save the PDF and open with Adobe, check boxes are checked. There might be a problem with the Firefox built in PDF viewer as the built in PDF viewer for other browsers work fine.

    Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
    You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

  • Default printer problems with adobe 10.1.2

    I was having problems printing PDFs since upgrading to 10.1.2.  After reading and trying many recommendations, I happened to notice that my default printer(I have only one printer) was listed twice on the print window.  The first (default) printer is spelled "HP PSC 2350 series" (upper case 'PSC')  The second is "HP psc 2350 series" (lower case 'psc') .  The printer is named 'HP psc 2350 series' in my printers and devices, and if I select this printer, the page will print perfectly.  Now that I have solved my printing issue,  I would like to change the default setting on the adobe print window to come up as the active link, so I don't have to continue to select a different printer everytime I wish to print a document.  The printer by the lower case "psc" name is set as the default printer in printers and devices, and I cannot figure out why it doesn't come up as the default printer on the adobe reader print window.  I also cannot figure out how to change the default in the print window.   An added interesting fact is that I get no response in the print window when I try to select "preferences' or 'advanced' for the upper case 'PSC' printer.
    My computer runs in Windows 7 (64-bit).  The printer is HP psc 2355xi all-in-one.  Any suggestions are much appreciated

    I have not been able to select a different default printer for Adobe,  but I can print if I manually select the correct link everytime.

    I am having the same issue.The correct printer is selected as the default printer on the control panel and there is no driver with the lowercase convention.However, the first printer option that appears is the lowercase convention. Is there any way to select a default printer for specifically for Adobe, as opossed to the PC itself?
