PDF displays as grey with a horizontal white line

I have a 4MB PDF of a family tree generated by MacFamilyTree. It is about 350 pages if printed. I can view it using Apple's Preview program and Firefox (24.0). However, if I try to view it using Acrobat Reader (11.0.04) all I get is a grey screen with a white horizontal line. I can use "Save as..." from Acrobat Reader and save a new PDF. The new PDF can be viewed just fine in Preview and Firefox, but NOT in Acrobat Reader.
Relatives on Windows XP and 7 have the same problem of not being able to view the PDF, seeing just a white page. Some can view it inside their web browsers; some cannot. Some can view it using Acrobat Reader (no idea which versions); some cannot, seeing the grey page with a white line.
I sent the PDF file to MacFamilyTree for help, but they said that the problem is with Acrobat Reader and no the PDF itself. Screen shots of the same file opened in Acrobat Reader (top) and Preview (zoomed in - bottom) are below. Any suggestions on how to get a PDF to display in Acrobat Reader?

In the Print Dialogue, choose "Save as AdobePDF" instead of "Save as PDF". Save as PDF saves as a Preview PDF which is why it works in Preview and in Firefox's PDFJS viewer (which ISN'T Adobe based)

Horizontal white line across the Satellite A screen

Hi,
My computer screen has horizontal white line appeared across the screen recently. Computer is running perfectly normal but i don't know how to resolve this problem?
What could be the reason?

Im afraid it is due to defective display.
You can connect your notebook to external display to see if the same happen. if not it is the best evidence for my theory.

Rear Camera has horizontal white line across screen

Hi, I was given a playbook for Christmas and I love it but it has developed a horizontal white line on the rear camera which makes the camera and video unusable. I have customized my Playbook so am reluctant to take it back to the shop. Is there anything I can do to fix this or do I just accept that I'm not going to be able to use the rear camera or video? Hope you can help as in every other way my Playbook is perfect. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If a Playbook is to be sent for repair, especially with an RMA, it is important to back up data files by WiFi sharing as a desktop software backup may not work if the unit is replaced with a refurb or new unit.

Vision M 30GB started showing horizontal white lines over LCD

Everything was perfect since couple days ago. I have taken out my creative Zen Vision M 30G from its case then turned on and seen that all over the screen covered with horizontal white lines. Nothing has happened to the player. Not dropped or put it under heavy things or etc.
I resetted used recovery tool and re-install firmware but nothing had helped.
I am in Turkey right now but I have bought it from USA.
I contaced with Creative support and they do not want to do anything such as repair or replacement because I have had my player little over 3 years as of now (EOSL). But my player has used really gently it even has its original screen protector on it.
I did not cause this it was just happened out of nowhere...Lots of other comments and topics show that it is a some kind of harware mulfunction that the creative should stand behind.....
Any help or idea....

I am getting horizontal white lines one inch apart when I print an Ai file

I am getting horizontal white lines one inch apart when I print an Ai file

*White lines 1" apart showing up on my printouts*~
It is a NEW Epson 1430. However, I have horizontal thin white lines across my prints. (13x19in Paper) I've cleaned the heads, ran a test print, realigned and then reprinted - I keep getting the same white lines in exactly the same places.
I’m printing an AI file in Illustrator and the lines don't show up on my screen. Is there something wrong with the data? I am going to do more experiments to try and identify exactly what conditions cause this problem.
Thank you for your help!

Strange horizontal white line

I just started up my G4 ( tower ) double mirror face and have come across the strangest thing. I have this 1 in long horizontal white line that follows just down and to the right of my cursor.It doesnt matter where I place the cursor the line follows.Running 10.3 and have never had this show up.

I agree with BDAqua!
If you run that test you might notice your VRAM Test Fail.
This usually means that your video card is dead and needs to be replaced.
If this is not the case, then I would make sure you are using correct/updated graphics drivers, as these artifacts near your cursor are usually directly related to your graphics card and/or drivers.
When something similar happened to my powermac G4 MDD about 4 years ago, I was able to find an ATI Radeon 9600 at Fry's Electronics that works on both PC/Mac. It only has 256MB VRAM, but I was able to throw a card in quickly and keep going!
Unfortunately, there seems to be little selection for a mac that old. You may have to search elsewhere for a compatible card now.
Please post your test results so that someone may help you further.

Horizontal White Line Right Across Screen iPod Classic 120GB

I bought an Apple iPod Classic 120GB 14 months ago. I have looked after it very carefully (it hasn't even left the house) and only used it sparingly. Last week an annoying horizontal white line appeared right across the screen. I have tried all the recommended including resetting it.
Having trawled the internet forums and asked at my local Apple franchise dealer this seems to be a common fault with the screen hardware. I gather I can expect more line to appear over the next few weeks. I followed Apple's online repair procedure and once I ticked the box for 'screen problem' there is another drop down box with about 4 options. One of these refers to horizontal or vertical lines across the screen so Apple must be aware of this fault. At the next stage I was advised that I must pay approx £95 before the iPod could be repaired or replaced.
I subsequently phoned their Customer Services Department in India to ask why I was being charged so much for what was clearly a manufacturing fault and was told that they had no authority to offer discounts for repairs. Having asked to speak to someone who could help I was put through to Apple in Ireland.
The person I spoke to again repeated that Apple would only repair the iPod if I paid £95. He claimed it was a very rare problem but they were aware of it. I suggested that if this was true, surely they would want to replace or repair the iPod free of charge or at least for a reasonable price. The answer to this was no. I asked how long they expected iPods to last as 14 months did not seem very long. He said that he couldn't answer my question. I would have thought that it was reasonable to expect a life cycle of nearer 5 years for an high quality mp3 player. I feel that if an iPod fails after only 14 months it is hardly fit for purpose.
Has anyone else experienced this?

this is the exact same problem as mine (mine is classic 80GB) :[
it started happening out of nowhere, for no reason too. it happened 10 days ago, and ive had it for 2 years 3 months
in addition to the line across my screen, there are some scattered dots above it that move around everytime i turn off my ipod and turn it back on, which is really odd and at first funny but now just very sad.
please please tell me if you find a solution (minus the huge fix cost), and/or email me at [email protected]

Horizontal white line

Hi,
whist checking my emails this morning a horizontal white line appeared on screen and now appears on every app or screen that is displayed.
Any ideas - Hardware issue or software?
Thanks in advance

I have had this problem several times, each time the screen has rectified itself after a few days however I got a screen replcement at the apple store

Screen turns green with pink and white lines thru it,frozen,wont turn on or off

I was using an app on the 4th Generation Ipod Touch and all of a sudden the screen froze for about a minute and then turned a light green color with many small white lines through it. Also we cannot get the Ipod to turn off or on... Help?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I dropped my Iphone 5 which resulted in it shattering and the screen was still on but it was black with only a white line through it so I couldnt access the phone however I switched over to my Droid and now I cannot send or receive messages?

I dropped my Iphone 5 which resulted in it shattering and the screen was still on but it was black with only a white line through it so I couldnt access the phone however I switched over to my Droid and now I cannot send or receive messages and I cant turn off imessage because I cant see anything on the screen. Help?

Then the bottom of the support document states that if you do not have access to the device (which unfortunately because of the screen issue you do not) to contact Apple Care. That is what you need to do.

When inserting a .pdf of a document with a standard white paper color the test and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

When inserting a .pdf of a document into a Keynote template with a standard white paper color the text and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

Use the color fill option - select the inserted .pdf and assign a fill color of white to it using the Color Fill Menu on the Toolbar or the Color Picker Palette.
Good Luck.

Displaying a fraction with a horizontal bar between the denominator and numerator

Hello guys
I have a dynamic textfield and am going to display textual content in it dynamically.
But I have a fraction in that textual part and I want to display that fraction as a "typical fraction with a horizontal bar between the denominator and numerator". Hope you understand what I am asking.
Please look at the attached image.
Thanks for your input.
cheers

@dmennenoh
Thanks for your input.
So its kind of superimposing Sprite or MovieClip that has a fraction.Basically I have to make two textfields and put them together over a horizontal bar so that it looks like a fraction and then place it over a big textfield where the fraction should be.
Its a very long process.
OMG, isn't there any other easy way to do this?

Ipod touch 4G with horizontal white line

Hello, I have a brand new ipod touch 4G. Two days after getting it I was in the middle of looking at some apps and a white line across the screen appeared (horizontal line). I turned off the ipod several time with no change. After looking up what is may be I found it was most likely a bad pixel and there was nothing I could do. I called apple and set up a repair which was about as easy as it could be. The next morning when I got the pod out to take it to UPS, the line was gone. What the heck is going on?

Bad bits sometimes happens. If it recurrs try in order:
- Reset
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If it still recurrs, then yu likely have a hardwre problem and return it to Apple for replacement.

How can I prevent my screen getting covered with black and white lines while working on the internet which only happens with firefox and only go when I 'go back' or go down a page?

It happens as I surf - horizontal black and white lines particularly when I scroll down and only goes if I can go to a new page or go back a page. It is driving me crazy and only happens with firefox. I have disabled all plug ins but it still happens.

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
