Pdf 1.3 display incorrectly in Acrobat 9

I have a pdf 1.3 which was exported from CS4, When I render the file on our rip I get squares on a particular font which is embedded subset.
The weird thing that the pdf displays the way it intended to be " the font displays correctly" in Acro 9.
When the same file is opened in Acro 5 the screen result is exactly as reproduced on our print i.e Squares.
Finally received a call from an Adobe Tech,
The answer was: We do not support Acrobat 5 anymore.
The developers have changed so many things in Acrobat 9, and I cannot find any documentation to answer your questions.
In other words I HAVE NO IDEA!!!

My engineers are just starting to upgrade to Acrobat 9.0 standard. We were forces to from out 6.0, which worked just fine. So far only one person has noticed their screen going black and the toolbars disappearing. He does not have any READER installed which shouldn't matter. It appears from what I've read here there is no solution at this time. It doesn't happen to him all the time but it's very frustrating when it does. The only thing he can do is quit out of the window and start up another window.

PDF does not display propery in Acrobat but does in google docs

Hi all,
I have a PDF that when opened in google docs displays properly but when opened in acrobat the text is bold and too large. It seems to be a font problem but I installed the language packs I could find and no change. There are soime asian characters in the docs but its actually the english characters that seem to be the problem. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Lorne

There is something else that I just noticed.
There is a typo in the type attribute of the CSS files. 
Some have type="text/csss" instead of type="text/css" and that causes Firefox not to load those stylesheets.

pdf files in an embedded frame using iframe tag display incorrectly in Firefox V.22 and earlier;
On opening the webpage, the pdf is displayed too large.
The pdf displays correctly only after refreshing or reloading the webpage.
In Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome, the pdf displays correctly when one first views the page.
I have already reset Firefox to use Adobe Acrobat plugin. The scaling still works only after reset.

Make sure your not Zoomed the PDF File

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.

IOS pdf viewer cannot display text that was entered in acrobat forms???

hi.
i have a blank PDF form. i enter text into this form on my mac, i use the latest adobe acrobat or adobe reader to do this. i email this filled out form to a person. the person uses an iphone or ipad to view his mail. he is a novice user, no extra apps installed. the user opens the attached pdf (default ios pdf reader) and the form is displayed.
but – not a single word i entered into the form is displayed.
it seems that forms that are filled out with acrobat/reader can't be correctly displayed on an iphone/ipad? They show up blank!
I tested this with a few documents, same result.
any help?
Cheers!

The basic readers might not process field forms, just the basic context of the PDF.
It is best to add an app that can process Acrobat PDF forms, not just read them. I would look at PDF Expert since it appears to be the most compatible and runs custom JavaScripts in forms. Another option would be the Adobe Mobile PDF Reader.
Did you create the PDF form?
PDF forms can be created by Acrobat, AcroForms, or using LiveCycle, XML forms. The majority of iOS or android mobile devices cannot process XML forms.
Trying to read PDFs on mobile devices requires testing of the PDF to fix display issues and if you are using forms the JavaScript within forms needs to be tested for compatibility with various app readers to see if the form fields and code even work.

PDFs display correctly in Acrobat Pro, but not in Reader?

I receive files from printers for UV coating their jobs at our facility. On rare occasions the PDFs I receive display one way in Reader, and another way in Acrobat. Text that is missing--or showing up as faint outlines in Reader--displays correctly in Acrobat Pro. Then, when I go to RIP the file (and it is a PDF workflow), the text is missing there as well. We end up having to pay a service bureau to output a film positive, so it's a bit frustrating. I suspect it has something to do with transparency. I would appreciate any ideas from veteran prepress folks out there.

Change your preferences Edit > Preferences > Page Display Use Overprint Preview to Always.
These sound like Spot UV plates/colors and would be designed with Overprinting
Are you also looking at the Seperations/Output Preview? (Advanced > Print Production > Output Preview Simulate Overprint can also be toggled there.)

Why PDF's with transparency display incorrectly?

Hi everybody
I used this script ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/dps-pdf-to-indesign.html ) to create a magazine based on pdfs but I have a big problem.
The imported pdfs with trasparent elements display incorrectly but only in the vertical position as you can see in the images, in the horizontal and menu, display correctly.
I don't have control of the pdfs because the publisher send it already ready.
I used the v.22 for this pubblication because I can't update the app now but I installed the latest DPS tools.
Thanks in advance for help.

I know this is an old thread but i'd like to answer because it'll be helpful for someone looking for answers like I was today ;-)
This is an expected behavior for a PDF article. PDF Articles only supports transparency effects such as opacity and multiply, blending modes are not supported. However the same content if uploaded as a PNG/JPEG article should work fine.
It's also documented in this best practices document here Digital Publishing Suite Help | Best practices for creating overlays

Why do non-flattened PDFs display incorrectly on PCs?

We have found that PDFs do not display correctly in Windows if they were generated from InDesign files with transparency layers on a Mac. They look fine in both Acrobat and Preview on the Mac, but not on Acrobat for Windows. This problem shows up in multiple versions of Windows and Acrobat for Windows.
I understand how to resolve the problem by adjusting the flattening of transparent objects, but I want to more fully understand why it happens.
1) Why can't Windows display PDFs with transparent objects without flattening them first?
2) When generating PDFs from InDesign, is there a preferred method for avoiding this problem in the first place?
3) On several occasions, print shops have had trouble with these same PDFs -- some element is missing, but not necessarily what was missing on the Windows computer. Is this also related to transparent objects?
Where can I, as a IT professional, learn more about this? It seems like this is a fairly widespread problem, but I'm having trouble really understanding what's going on.
Thanks for your help!
Eric

Thanks for your reply. I may have exaggerated by saying "widespread," but it's a problem in our agency as well as at least 7 other clients I do technical consulting for.
Not being a designer myself, I'm not sure what information would be useful. I'll ask one of our designers to create a document that exhibits these problems and upload it. Would that be helpful?

Acrobat CD Form Button Display incorrectly when an effect or transparency is applied Via indesign Looks like a bug

I have tested existing interactive pdfs that function perfectly in Acrobat XI and Adobe acrobat Reader but open the same files in Acrobat DC and Acrobat DC Reader and most of the documents i have designed and produces over last few years have been renderer useless
Basically any interactive form field wich uses Effects, Transparency or mode changes like multiply in every instance the whole form element appear as a pixelated mess
I have been posting in an indesign Thread https://forums.adobe.com/message/7427566#7427566 it contains picture and a sample document
Steve Werner has been helping me and has suggest i post here too
Graeme,
I downloaded your PDF file. I have both Acrobat DC and Acrobat XI Pro and I can confirm that I view it the same way that you do.
It clearly seems to be a bug. In the Acrobat beta group, most users are probably not InDesign users, and most of us who do use InDesign probably didn't create or test Show/Hide buttons using those forms of transparency. I'm sure it's not intentional, probably a side effect of some other change.
It needs to be reported as a bug. I'd suggest using the Bug Report form here:
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
Also, there are several Acrobat forums. I'd suggest posting (if you haven't already) in the these two forums:
Rich Media & 3D
PDF Forms

It's good that you'll be submitting a bug. This sort of thing has happened before, and I think it's related some to the fact that InDesign is capable of generating field appearances that you can't set up in Acrobat (transparency in particular).

Unique issue with PDF to WORD .doc conversion with Acrobat Pro - any ideas?

I have been unable to solve the following issue when converting (save as...) PDF documents to Microsoft Word .doc using numerous methods. This could either be an issue that would be fixed in Acrobat Pro itself, or in MS Word - posting to the Adobe forums first.
PREFACE: I am attempting to use the converted .doc file with translation applications/software. Google Translator Toolkit is what I use the most, but ALL other translators are having this very same issue with the .doc file. --The source PDFs are product information from drug manufacturers in various countries that I need to have translated to English. I do not have access to their source documents, as they do not provide their own source docs for obvious reasons.
ALSO: I cannot use Google Translator toolkit to translate from PDFs directly - if you do that, it will attempt to translate a PDF and then export in an .html file, but it does not get the exact spacing of the sentences correctly, which leads to errors in translating - key things such as "can take with alcohol" and "do not take with alcohol". So that's out!
I am not having any problems with the resultant .doc file in MS Word itself. It looks right, the spacing matches the original PDF source perfectly, prints correctly, etc... Reference here on a product info sheet from Austria in German:
The problem: This is a screenshot from Google Translator Toolkit - the right side of the image - the spacing in the lettering from the .doc file I am uploading is not being read correctly, resulting in untranslated gibberish. (Note: this isn't a problem with the translation applications or software -- all are having this issue with .doc files converted from .pdf - this issue isn't present with any old .doc file that wasn't converted from a .pdf) -- It's definitely got something to do with some kind of embedded data in the .doc file that I cannot isolate!!)
My settings in Adobe Pro (convert from PDF to .doc):
Page layout: Flowing Text (this prevents the resultant .doc from having all of those text boxes, which also don't then work in translators)
Include comments: True
Include images: True
Run OCR if needed: True
Notes:
-I have run OCR text recognition on the source PDF files in it's specific language.
-I have edited the accessibilty of the PDF and have run the tag recognition and quick checks (to see if they solved the issue, which it did not - tagged or untagged, same problems!)
-I have exported the .doc BACK to PDF using MS Word's function, which results in a great looking tagged PDF. THEN I re-saved this new PDF back as a .doc - same issue.
-I have tried saving the PDF in all of the other formats that the translators accept. All have different issues. The only one that works consistently is saving to a .txt (plain)... The best is a .doc to .doc conversion, with all the original spacing. (I am not spending hours reformatting a .txt translation in word)...
I can't seem to find where this spacing data is in the .doc file!!!! (Changing the fonts, sizes, margins -- doesnt fix this either). I have tried so many methods...
Any thoughts on other things to try in Adobe Pro (or Word)?
EDIT: Here's an additional tidbit of info that may be the key to this... There's some kind of coding that is in the .doc that Adobe Pro converted from the source PDF that doesnt display in Word, but that is being seen by the translation programs....... I have no idea what these are, but I want to remove them!

I would suggest you look at the fonts that are being used. It may be a font issue that is not properly being read by the translation program.

Edited pdf does not display properly

I scanned in doc to a .pdf. It displayed properly on iPad (iBooks). I added some text using preview. It did not display when reading it to iBooks. Thinking it was a layering issue, I "Flattened" the file with Adobe Acrobat Pro, and freaked it to iBooks. Still does not display the added text. Added text is displayed by Adobe Reader for iPad. How do I get the iBooks program to properly read an edited .PDF? Is it really necessary to print and rescan the .PDF each time? Can I add the text in IBooks?

Stick with Adobe Reader. iBooks will not and cannot display form fields or edited text in a PDF as you have learned. You cannot add text in iBooks either. You can't change that. The built in mail app is also incapable of displaying edited PDF files. Adobe Reader is much more robust and feature rich than iBooks, which I'm sure you have already seen for yourself.
iBooks pales in comparison as a useful PDF tool. i think that you will be much better off using Adobe Reader.

PDF Documents suddenly display as black only

Earlier this year I suddenly had numerous PDF documents start displaying completely black, making it impossible to read the text. Sometimes images appear as ghosted white outlines, but most commonly the whole document is simply a black blob. I can open the same file using a free PDF Reader, but the moment I try opening it in Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro it appears in black again. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling version 9.2, and have now updated to 9.5, but am still getting the same error.
I have no idea of where else to look to find a solution. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Jurgen

This sounds sort of like a display problem. Are the preferences that you have set under Edit > Preferences > Page Display category in the Rendering area any different in Reader than they are in Acrobat Pro? Also in the same Preference category make sure you have Use Overprint Preview set to Never.
Also you can try checking under the Edit > Preferences > Accessibility category to make sure some of these setting haven't been inadvertently set.

Buttons created in InDesign don't display properly in Acrobat DC

I am having issues with how buttons created in InDesign CC (2014) and exported to interactive PDF display in Acrobat DC. These buttons use transparent layers and effects such as drop shadow. The buttons displayed great in Acrobat XI.
Acrobat XI:
Acrobat DC:
The buttons used a transparent white layer to simulate glare. As you can see, it comes out black in DC! The drop shadow has added white coloring knocking the buttons out from the background instead of blending nicely. I can avoid using these styling methods in future projects, but this project has used these buttons for several years, and now several years worth of PDFs won't display correctly for anyone who updates to DC!

I am also having problems. Upgraded to Acrobat DC. I use a Mac (latest software)
When I export from InDesign CC to Acrobat DC the interactive elements - especially buttons - go cranky. I get a strange smudgy kind of drop shadow but in a variety of colours behind the arrows, buttons etc. All very strange. It gets worse if I apply a drop shadow and bevel and emboss to the button (even a home made button rather than one of the sample buttons).
I'm currently working away from home and so can't try any other computer.
Strange.

Display Options in Acrobat X

Hi,
I'm looking to find the Display Option tab in Acrobat PDF Maker X but can't find it, specifically I want to be able to set Document Open Options. In Acrobat 5, there was a Display Option tab which allowed you to set Bookmarks and Page using a radio button and the Open Magnification from a drop down.
Are these options in Acrobat PDF Maker X?
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that you could specify these options before you generate the PDF, you could do this in Acrobat PDF Maker 5.0

Publisher name in Item info for PDF is not displayed

Hi All,
Publisher name in Item info for PDF is not displayed (shows; unkown publisher) in Adobe Digital Editions. The Adobe Acrobat Professional does not have "Publisher" field to add Publisher name; it facilitates user to provide "Title", "Author", "Subject" and "Keywords" into the Document Properties (Ctrl+D)
Some one please guide, to get Publisher name in "item info" for PDF in Adobe Digital Editions.
Cheers
Vikas

For PDF the Publisher name comes only from the encryption information that is included when a PDF file is packaged for use by Adobe Content Server. If this information was not included at packaging time there is no end user method for adding it in after the fact.
