PDF/A files not displaying correctly on iPad

Hi there
I am creating a PDF/A document that is a compilation of a bunch of MS Word and PDF documents, which will be primarily viewed on iPad. I'm using DocsCorp pdfDocs on my computer (a PC) to compile them together, and saving as PDF/A to ensure no font problems. However, it's still not displaying properly on the iPad. Some of the pages are missing blocks of text and images. Some of the lines of text just look like black lines across the page, and there are some pages that have big black patches where text used to be.
Does anyone know what else I can do to make my PDF/A document display correctly on an iPad?
Thanks!

Creating iBooks (EPUBs)
There’s no denying that the Apple iPad is a popular and successful product. One of the things I was most intrigued by was the format that Apple chose for their eBooks (iBooks). The good news is that they went with the industry standard EPUB format, and the even better news is that InDesign exports EPUBs natively. I created my first iBook for iPad using InDesign CS5. Let’s take a look at the workflow.

Colors in pdf files not displayed correctly on linux acroread

I have recently observed that the colors in certain pdf files are not displayed correctly in acroread on Linux. Other readers such as evince get it right. Examples are a presentation with white arrows on a black background which come out as black on black. I suspect, but have not proved, that the files were produced on Mac OS. I see this in acroread version 9.5.1 on a couple of versions of Linux. I googled this but could find no-one else mentioning it. Has anyone else seen it. Looks like a serious bug to me.

Does this happen with other PDFs on the server? You might check out the Adobe forums.

Scientific fluorescence figures are not displayed correctly on iPad

I use the iPad 1 for reading scientific papers, and I figured out that some fluorescence figures are not displayed correctly. The colours are not correctly distinguished, even some colours are completely missing. Is this a limitation of the iPad display or the current version of iOS.
I am really disappointed. So, is there any solution?
Many thanks.
On MacBook Pro
On iPad 1

I am woundering if anyone can suggest any solution? Thank you.

Uploaded image files not displayed correctly

Hello everyone,
I used the following article(on o'reilly) as reference for file upload:
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/04/05/upload.html?page=1
While it works fine for most files types, there are problems with image files.(I am using PrintStream, BufferedOutputStream,FileOutputStream to write the files on the server).
When links to these image files are clicked, the uploaded gif and jpeg image files are not displayed correctly.When directly opening the files on the server, it gives a 'error opening file' message.But other word docs , text files do not give an error.
If anyone else has come across the same problem and could help out , I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

I do not want to enter into the logic which you are following to upload the file. I did the upload process successfully even as a blob datatype.
For this I followed the logic given in http://www.java.isavvix.com/codeexchange/codeexchange-viewdetail.jsp?id=22.
Here you can download the complete sourse code, which is working fine for gif and jpeg, I tested.
Please go with this. Also let me know, if you still have problem.
Regards.

PDF files not displaying correctly

I have adobe reader 8 and my operating system is Vista. Every time I try to view a PDF file my screen gets messed up. My color quality goes from Highest 32 bit color to the lowest setting. I then either have to reboot my system, or go into my NVIDIA display properties and reset to to highest 32 bit color quality. my resolution is 1440x900. Why are my PDFS not displaying , and my color quality keep going to lowest, every time i use PDF?? .I

When I try to initiate Adobe Reader 8.1 in vista the window opens then immediately closes. Also when I try to open any PDF file the system locks up and I have to close whatever program is running from Task Manager. I have uninstalled old versions and reinstalled Adboe Reader three times with no error messages and no problems. I'm the system administrator so this should not be an issue. Help!!
Thanks!

Recurring calendar entries synced with exchange do not display correctly on ipad

Hi
I have just bought a new ipad2. It is full updated to IOS version 4.3.2
I have set it up to sync with my Exchange Server Outlook account
Any calandar entries that I have in outlook that are "all day" and recurring (eg birthdays) display correctly in Outlook, but on the ipad they display over 2 days - the correct day and the following day. For some reason the "all day" setting is getting them to span midnight
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks

I've seen issues with all day appointments over the years. It seems to me that the recommendation Microsoft makes is not to schedule all day appointments, rather block out a time say 9-5 or whatever ....you might also look at your time zone setup and see if there is anything weird there....sometimes if time zone are not setup right, the all day appointment shows up as partially in the next day...

Mail folder not displaying correctly on iPad

I have moved old mail (more than one month old) from my inbox to another email folder. If I move mail that is less than one month old it appears in the new folder as expected, but if I move mail that is more than one month old it does not appear. If I log onto my Live account via my laptop I see that is it definitely in the new folder but it does not appear in the folder when viewed via the iPad. On my laptop I then moved the mail back to my inbox and then moved it to the new folder on my ipad again. IT DOES NOW SHOW. It seems that moving any mail items that have not had any activity on them for more than a month will not successfully display on the iPad.? Anyone else have this problem?

Exported pdfs - Linked file not dispalying correctly on some machines

Hi,
I'm creating several PDFs in InDesign CS5.5. I'm creating links to different files in InDesign using buttons. The pdf links work correctly on all machines and open the file theyre supposed to. I run into a problem on some machines though. The first page of the newly opened pdf opens completely gray... nothing displayed. If you hit page down and then page up, page two displays fine, and page one then appears fine from that point on. On some machines it's a little slow to display, and goes from gray to displaying the page in about one second.
Does anyone know why this would be happening, and how to fix it?
They are created on a mac, and the problem is present on some macs, but not others, and seems fine on PC. It's also worth pointing out that it isn't the speed/power of the machine, because the older less powerful machines have no problems with it.

How are these files being viewed?

Xcode 3.2 - ipad - xib not displayed correctly in ipad simulator

I have a simple test xib with some a text box, a button, a label and a date time picker. They are all arranged in a vertical column at the top left of the view.
When I run xcode :
All I see is the label!!
Moreover the label shows up in the middle of the simulator window.
When I open the XIB in IB and hit cmd+R :
Everything shows up correctly!
Why can I not see the xib correctly in xcode?
my configuration:
xcode 3.2
base sdk ios device 3.2
ios deployment target 3.2
ipad simulator 3.2
target device family : ipad
I hope someone can help with this!

Yes I did.
It was a mistake on my part. The File Owner 'view' outlet was not set. Setting that fixed the problem.

Lightbox widget not displaying correctly on iPad

Hi
Was wondering why the lightbox on my website www.hug-advertising.co.uk/work.html is working fine when viewed on a desktop
but has started trimming the images when viewed on an iPad. This site was created around about a year ago on a very early version (a new site is currently in development)
of Muse but have only just noticed that this problem is now occuring, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

PDF's in Mail and Preview not displaying correctly

Ever since upgrading to Yosemite PDF's are not displaying correctly. Every time i generate a PDF of a sales quote it seems to lose a lot of information.
But the strange thing is.....
Preview and Mail both show PDF with missing text.
When I open using "Quick Look Attachment" within Mail or Adobe Acrobat it looks perfect.
When emailed, recipients (mostly Windows users) seem to have no problem opening it and seeing all text.
So far seen that issue is only in Preview and Mail
Only has happened since upgrading to Yosemite
PDF is created using web based ZOHO CRM to build quotes.
See image below to see the difference in what Mail and Preview sees compared with how other apps open the same PDF.
NOTE: sensitive info has been purposely blurred on image.

Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background. i am on a Windows 7

When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background.
i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Pdf not displayed correctly in preview

We have a new A) scanner (colortrac Ci40) and when we scan a pdf it is displayed in preview as if it is all wrinkled up.
Only in prewiew and if imorted in vectorworks. (on both OSX 10.5 and 10.6)
The same problem appears on a iPad.
It is not displayed correctly.
In all other programms I tried it is displayed properly.
We also have a small a4/a3 scanner from konica minolta and these scans display corectly in preview.
Is this only a preview problem and should I ignore it?

Hi there,
I have a very similar problem: a number of pdf files that I can see perfectly well in Safari/GoogleChrome do NOT show correctly in Preview or ANY iPad app I have (Notability, Adobe, PDF Expertm iAnnotate, Dropbox etc.).
The problem is that punctuation -- with the expection of periods or bolded text -- does not show properly. For example, commas and quotation marks to not show, and some numbers to not show.
Moreover, once I have annotated/viewed the problematic file on the IPad and resync to dropbox to view on Mac vis Adobe (which I do with most pdf files with no problems), I get an error message upon reopening the pdf file saying "Cannot extract the embedded font 'FAFWQV+--unknown-2--'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." (the 'quoted' text changes each time). When opening in Preview, no error message appears, though the fole is still lacking punctuation etc.
Here is a link to one problematic pdf:http://niis.cass.cn/upload/2012/12/d20121201200145301.pdf
NB: the file is in Mandarin, however I can successfully open/edit/annotate/sync other pdfs using Mandarin font so I'm not sure if the language is related to the problem.
I would be extremely grateful for some help with this please!
Thanks!

Links do not display correctly in my pdf

www and http are not displaying in pdf files converted from MS Word
When I convert a Word document to pdf using Acrobat Pro 9.0, the website addresses do not display correctly. For instance, if my document shows www.website.com - then the pdf only displays .website.com. Also, if I have the http://www.website.com - I get ://www.website.com. Please HELP! I remember having this problem when I used the trial version of Acrobat 9.0, at the time, I just removed the link & the document converted fine. For this file, I REALLY need the links to be active.
For now, I have resorted to using a pdfmaker that costs about $5 on e-bay. It works just fine - why doesn't my Adobe Acrobat work?

PDF maker is the part of AA9 Pro that converts the links for you. You did not say how you are creating the PDFs, but you have to use PDF Maker (the create PDF button in WORD) to get the links correct, or add them manually in Acrobat.
I have no idea what PDF Maker you are talking about for $5 a day, since it is part of your package and is thus no additional cost. If you are printing to the Adobe PDF printer, you are not using PDF Maker.

Adobe Illustrator file will not display correctly when logged in as a user

I am working with an Adobe Illustrator CS2 file that will open and display correctly if I log in as Administrator, but will not display correctly if I am logged on as a user. The error message is that there is not enough memory to display the file correctly and I am forced into preview mode. The user Home folder is on a server. Other than this, I have made certain that the criteria for opening the file match under both interfaces. I have opened the AI CS2 file on other Macs and it opens fine. I conclude that the problem is with the user Home folder, but beyond that, I'm stumped. Any help will be appreciated.

After I filed a bug-report an Apple engineer contacted me, and asked me to try running java in headless mode: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/headless/
That solved the problem!
