Paper Paper box view on PDF created in INDCS3

We are running Windows XP, Serv Pk 2, CS3. We have a form that contains a paper filled box behind a stroke. The frame from the paper filled box extends into the area behind the stroke. In InDesign CS3 the form appears and prints correctly. When exported to PDF and viewed on a 21inch monitor at 125% you can actually see where the paper filled box extends into the rule. When blow up to 300%, the knockout disappears. Does anyone know if this is just a view thing or how Acrobat is digesting the info from the InDesign file.

Peter, thanks for the reply. In this particular case, the box had extended in error. Our normal layout is to be sure that unless absolutely necessary, frames should not overlap. It's very easy to delete two frames instead of one if you select the incorrectly. Also, this paper box was used to knockout a background tint layer which is the reason it was filled. We are moving away from forms with background tints so this may or may not be an issue in the future.

How do I get rid of the text boxes in a PDF created in FormsCental when I print the PDF?

I just started working with Acrobat XI Pro and use to use LiveCycle Designer 9 to create forms. The thing I'm wanting to do is to not have the text response boxes appear in the PDF when it is printed out. I am getting very few options in FormsCentral and it might be in there but I haven't been able to find it just yet. Anyone know how to solve what I'm asking or am I asking to much? Thanks in advance.

Why when Viewing a .pdf created by Lightroom4 in Preview, Preview hangs up

I have created several .pdf files of a "book" created in Lightroom4. When I view these files in Preview, Preview invariably hangs up (spinning color circle). I adjusted the size of the included pictures to make them smaller but this did not help. Also when I tried to mail the pdf it never went. Very strange. Anyone any idea what may be going on?
FYI I have iMac 27-inch late 2009 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 SW is OSX 10.9.4 (13E28)

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Before you do that, you'll have to put a copy of the file in question somewhere where the guest user can reach it, such as the Public subfolder of your home folder. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Acrobat Pro XI v.11.0.06 - PDF created by Microstation Print Organizer - Windows 7 - Printing shaded squares on top of shaded building and not displayed on screen, only displays on paper when printing

I have attached an image of the sheet to show the areas that are shaded. The building is supposed to be shaded, however the two squares within are not. These squares are not in the file converted to pdf and do not display on screen when viewing the pdf. Also there are several sheets in the set with shaded buildings and only two of the buildings have this issue. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I'm seeing this same problem happen on multiple platforms here in the office. Every time this happens, the screen view does not show these shapes. I have been seeing the same problem except linework will be missing in one of these square shapes as well. Please give feedback if anyone knows what causes this problem. One thing to note - these squares are the size and placement of a selection box within acrobat. For example, if i use the selection tool and click near where the problem printed out, the shaded area that gets selected is in the exact same spot and is the exact size.@

Preview.app with .pdf: crop box view in slideshow revisted

Regarding the archived discussion found here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11230425
The question was never really answered as to provide a working solution for Nicolas. Here is his original question:
When I preview a .pdf in the "crop box" mode and I start a slideshow, it shows me the "media box" version.
How can I see the the crop box in the slideshow?
I have had this same issue with certain PDFs in Preview. The simplest and quickest solution I propose is:
1) Open PDF in Preview
2) Find out the actual cropped page size via Tools > Show Inspector
3) Go to File > Print... and then to Paper Size: Manage Paper Sizes... and create a custom paper size for the cropped page size.
4) Finally, click on PDF V Save as PDF... and save a copy of the original PDF.
When you open the file copy in Preview and go to View > Slideshow it will now compose without the crop marks and bleeds.
If anyone still is having this issue, I hope this helps.

Since the media box (as you may know) is the size of the largest page in the PDF file, regardless of placement of objects in the PDF. The crop box is always a subsection of this (or the same size, but never larger), defined by you. It should be the part of the PDF page (media box) that contains the text, pictures, etc. that you want the person reading your PDF to see.
For example, when composing the layout for print publication, you would want to set the media box to be slightly larger than the media you will be printing on. You would then set the crop box to be the precise size of the final, printed media. If you were printing on normal 8.5" x 11" paper then media box would be larger than 8.5" x 11", and the crop box to 8.5 " x 11". This way, you can position pictures and text and whatnot right up to the edge of the printed page. This will also allow you to see whether anything is positioned wrong and is hanging over the edge of the crop box (which would mean it'll be cut off when printed".
So basically, what I meant to say is: the crop box isn't meant for changing how a PDF is displayed; it's meant to control what prints out, and what doesn't, when printing to paper. Microsoft Excel does the same thing -- when looking at a spreadsheet on the computer, you see all cells. If you want to only print a portion of the spreadsheet then you'd use the "set print area" option. Setting the print area isn't the same as just printing a single page or selection of pages, although in some situations they may produce similar printed pages.

ICal 5.0 double click in date box (month view) doesn't create 1 hour long event anymore

Double-clicking in a date box in the "month" view used to create a new one hour long event.
Now, in 5.0 it creates an all-day event by default, and removing "all-day" results in a 6 hour long event. Anyone know how to get it back to the "old" way? really annoying to have to change it each and every time! Thanks.

Lisa,
Here are some of the iCal event creation rules which may help you:
Enter a name, date, and time duration for the event, and then press Return.
For example, you can enter “Super Bowl Party Feb 6,” “Movie with Rebecca on Friday at 7pm,” “Soccer Game on Saturday from 11am-1pm,” or “Breakfast with Jon,” and then press Return.
If you don’t enter a time duration for the event, iCal sets the event’s duration to 1 hour.
If you don’t enter any time information for the event, iCal makes the event an all-day event.
If you enter “breakfast” or “morning,” iCal sets the event to start at 9 a.m.
If you enter “lunch “ or “noon,” iCal sets the event to start at 12 p.m.
If you enter “dinner” or “night,” iCal sets the event to start at 8 p.m.

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2-initially thought to be a user/OS issue

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2. I initially thought this was a user / OS issue when I created a document for someone who is new to a MAC laptop. She could not view the document through email. Unfortunately, I began seeing the same error in my own document folders when searching for another document showing as icons instead of a list. I can open the file without a problem although I see the error she sees only while viewing the icons in my folder. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Now, I also know that if the document is downloaded, it can be viewed.
Other notes:
If trying to access the form via the internet, the same error is seen through Chrome, Firefox, and Mozilla but NOT through IE
Everyone seems to have the latest or a very recent READER
The form is compatible with Reader versions 7 and up
Again, downloading from the internet to the computer appears to allow the file to open properly
Document cannot be viewed on the Galaxy Tab 2 via Chrome or the pre-installed Internet Browser, nor can it be viewed through the Reader after download to tablet. I did not try on an Apple iPad.
All parties involved are up-to-date with virus protection.
Below is a link to the exact message received when trying to open the document.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wmjqzwyriovg9vi/Adobe%20Error.pdf

You're on to something KJ! Yes the form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES2 which came bundled with my Adobe X Pro. I began creating a new form yesterday and found that I could not preview the form, rendering this same "error" instead. I ran a repair on my Adobe and at first it seemed to fix the issue but after making some changes to the form I tried to preview again and couldn't. Here is what I get when I try to preview my forms in Designer ES2:
When I click the OK button, it then gives me that single static page as mentioned above in previous posts.
I searched Adobe yesterday trying to figure out how I could repair the LiveCycle Designer or if there was some sort of patch that I haven't gotten but was not able to find anything.
(Sorry for the delay in response, I've been on vacation.)

Search box in PDF created

Is there any way I can put in my own search box into a pdf I created using Live Cycle or Acrobat?

What's the point? Both Acrobat and Reader already have a built-in search box, so why re-invent the wheel?

How to generate a csv report to determine paper size in a pdf or pdf/a file ?

how to generate a csv report to determine paper size in a pdf or pdf/a file ?

Use the cfpdf tag as follows:
<cfpdf
    action = "getinfo"
    name = "pdf_info"
    source = "C:\temp\testFile.pdf">
My Operating System is Windows. This tag gets information about testFile.pdf, and stores it in a structure. I have given this structure the name pdf_info. This structure has the key you are interested in, namely, pageSizes.
Pdf_info.pageSizes is an array whose indices correspond to the respective page number in the PDF. You can use this to generate Comma-Separated Values (CSV) for each page.

<cfset csv = "">

<cfset csv = "Page,Height,Width" & chr(13)>
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(pdf_info.pageSizes)#" index="i">
<cfset row_info = i & "," & pdf_info.pageSizes[i]["height"] & "," & pdf_info.pageSizes[i]["width"] & chr(13)>
<cfset csv = csv & row_info>
</cfloop>

<cfoutput>#csv#</cfoutput>


Done!

Bob's post says it all. Preview ignores the PDF's Initial View setting, and beyond that, it's a horribly unreliable vehicle for accurate viewing of...just about anything. If you're engaged in professional design work, Preview has no legitimate place in your workflow.

Create a view-only PDF

I need to create some view-only PDFs that cannot be printed, copied, forwarded, or saved electronically. I see the security settings for printing, but I'm still able to save and forward the file. Is there a way to do this? I have Acrobat Standard 7.0. Thank you.

You can do all with Acrobat security except the forward file. The save can be restricted, but that is only for changes. When a PDF is downloaded to view, it is one the machine (typically in the TEMP folder). If you want to restrict the use, then you are talking about an expensive solution with LiveCycle DRM type processes. Acrobat itself can not restrict the availability of the PDF. If that is of concern, then you either need to trust the user, not forward it, or use DRM.

How do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?

how do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?
Without free hand creating the sizing?

Assuming by "interactive text boxes" you mean form fields; in Acrobat, make a form field, then copy it and paste. (GIve the pasted copy a different name so they don't genetate the same field feedback.) Now you have two fields of the exact same size. Shift-click or marquee-drag to select both, then right-click and choose a command from the Align, Distribute or Center menu.

Acrobat 9 March 6th unable to view pdf created in AA9

I have Adobe Acrobat v9 and have done some maintanence on the pdf.
My client on his office computer can see the pdf , On his home computer he is unable to view the pdf he tells me he has adobe reader 6
can any of you guys see the pdf ?
address is http://www.financialcounsellors.org/
select Forms on the menu bar and then the 3rd link down (Hugs Application Form)
TIA

It was no problem in AA8 to see the from. My guess is that you are using some features in AA9 or Designer (if you used the designer forms part of Acrobat) that AR6 can not recognize. You might try to save the form a AA6 compatible (use the Reduce File Size or PDF Optimizer for this save).

Does anybody know why type might render strangely when viewing a PDF in Chrome, Firefox and IE?

Does anybody know why type might render strangely when viewing a PDF in Chrome, Firefox and IE?
I have a client who I create a report for every year. This year there seems to be a problem with the PDFs that I have exported when they are viewed in various web browsers. To elaborate, the type is rendering inconsistently – in Chrome the weight of the type is inconsistent (ranging from light to something more heavy) and in IE the type appears more condensed, and the x-height is variable.
To my knowledge Chrome, Firefox and IE are all affected in one way or another. The problem does not occur in Safari.
We always use Helvetica Neue and have never had problems like this before. I am using the same version of Helvetica Neue as I always use, but even when I change the font to Helvetica the problem still persists.
On a deadline so would appreciate some support here. Box of beer to the person who can provide me with a working solution!
Thanks kindly
Simon Winter

Hello Ellis. Thanks for your efforts in helping narrow down this issue, and for offering workarounds for Simon. Here are the steps I sent to Simon, enhanced by the info you provided above:
1. I typed some text in Id CC 2014.0 (Mac OS 10.9.4) using the system font Helvetica Neue Light at 12 pt. All defaults were on, including ligatures.
1.a. I used the text in Simon's example, “An Annual Report marks the end of a year’s work, but it is also an opportunity to reflect on the principles that” and reduced the text frame width so that it wrapped across 4 lines.
1.b. I also tried creating an all-page text frame and filling it with placeholder text (same font, same point size).
2. Export > Interactive PDF (or Static PDF: doesn’t make a difference), using all the default PDF export settings.
3. View resulting PDF in the latest Chrome (36.0.1985.143) on that same Mac, or on Windows, at various zoom levels, on a retina display as well as on a lower-dpi monitor. It looks fine to me: all words and lines have the same even "color" or weight.
In all cases, the fonts embedded in the PDF were listed as:
HelveticaNeue-Light (Embedded Subset)
Type: TrueType
Encoding: Ansi
HelveticaNeue-Light (Embedded Subset)
Type: TrueType (CID)
Encoding: Identity-H
If you follow the above steps, can you repro the problem?
