PDF document opened with Preview does not show french accents

Hi everybody,
I've got some issues with PDF documents opened with Preview.
They show a blank space for all the accented vowels.
If I open the same document with Safari, it's the same. But with Chrome, it works perfectly.
I assume there's a problem with fonts, but, nothing wrong with fontbook (checked duplicates for instance).
Last information : it looks ok within chrome on my Imac, but the issue comes back when I try to print from chrome app...the accents are gone on the sheet.
Any idea ? I don't want to install Adobe reader...
Thanks for your help !

I don't want to install Adobe reader...
Why not? It can handle some pdf's that Preview can't. At least it's worth a try.
In case you change you mind get it from here.

Open with menu does not show pages

When i download email with a pdf attachment, i want to open it in pages. The open with dropdown has 8 choices, but does not include Pages? How do
I edit what appears in this drop down?

Pages does not open .PDF files. TO do so you will need iBooks which is an Apple app that is free in the app store.
Good Luck !

A hyperlink click to a pdf document in a website does not open a pdf document instead presents a blank page "searching for bookmarks"

Check the settings as shown in the [[opening PDF files within Firefox]] article.

Preview does not show any postscript files

Preview does not show any .ps files in Mac OS 10.4.3. I get an error message "PostScript Conversion Error" when Preview tries to convert the ps file into pdf.
(I print online banking invoices to postscript using the print option "save as file", because the pdf option isn't always available as a file format.)
How can I view my ps files?
(this is a cross-post from the print/fax forum, as no one answered my question there)

Thanks for the tip. I downloaded Ghostscript, installed it but can't find it once installed and nothing has changed.
I did however find out that only my online banking PostScript files are unreadable. Other PS files I create with my Canon printer menu are automatically converted into PDF by Preview without a problem. So it must have something to do with the document header or whatever of the online banking files.

PDF documents opens with black background.

Problem with black background in PDF documents opened from Safari. The documents are not readable.

Thank you, problem solved.

Quit Safari.
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.

How to make a PDF document open with bookmarks showing

I have created a big PDF document that I will be making available to multiple users via Dropbox. How do I (can I) make the document open with the bookmarks showing?
Using Acrobat 10.1.10
Thanks, Dan

Go to File - Properties - Initial View and under Navigation Tab select "Bookmarks Panel and Page".

Open/Save Dialog does not show new files?

Say you are working on a logic file in a folder and you have
a few audio and movie files in that folder, and you launch
Logic and via the open/save dialog window you add a few
files to your song and in that dialog window you can see
all the files in that folder.
Then, in the Finder you add a few more files and movies to
that folder and again use the open/save dialog window to
add more files BUT the new files you added since launching
logic are NOT SHOWN in the dialog window ! ?
What's the deal with that?
Every other app can show files added since the launch of the
application, why not Logic?
PowerBook G4 1GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

project manager
um, yeah.
Should not need the project manager simply to see new files added to a directory in a Open/Save dialog window since last opening the app.
I did a scan, a extended scan, opened all the little turn down arrows of the
full path to the directory I knew there to be the new files and yes, Logic
shows them there in the "Project manager".
BUT Logic still does not show the files in the Open/Save dialog windows.
This is strange because even simple app like TextEdit can show
new files in it's Open/Save dialog function windows without the need of
a project manager.
I have to quit and re-launch each time to see any new files?

I hate this, now all pdf documents open with Adobe reader x

Until recently all pdf documents opened nicely with Adobe Acrobat which was installed with the creative suite CS5. Recently I had to update the Acrobat plugin for Firefox and I don't know what exactly was installed but somehow I ended up with Adobe Reader x on my computer and now when I open pdf documents from my hard drive they all open with an Adobe reader which I hate. How that reader managed to install and change my experience without me noticing? Now I have to change file associations. Do I need this reader and what is it for when I have a full version of Acrobat?
I will greatly appreciate your help.

Unfortunately, once Reader is installed, uninstalling it will require you to repair your Acrobat installation. You should be able to right click on a PDF and select Open With and set Acrobat as the default. Also, be sure that Reader is not part of the startup of Windows (you can use Start>Run>msconfig to check that) and also open current tasks (ctrl-alt-del) and be sure AcroRd32 or similar file is not running in the background. Be aware that AcroTray is part of Acrobat and is needed for PDF creation.

"Open with Dreamweaver" does not open DW

When I use Transmit (FTP program for Mac) or I have a file (html) on my desktop and use the "Open with Dreamweaver" menu in Finder, then Dreamweaver does not open first time. I have to do it again for it to open. This does NOT happen with CS5 Dreamweaver.
Oh, and DW CS6 is damn slow.

Preview does not show any images

Hello. I am running 10.6.5 and Preview does not work. Any image I try it on does not show up on Preview. Is there an existing solution to this problem?

You can trouble shoot by creating a new user account and see if the problem is still present.
You can Safe Boot to turn off third-party extensions and see if this is the cause.
It could be if you install the 10.6.5 Combo Update it may straighten out, particularly if you installed the delta through the Software Updater. No harm here to re-install this combo.

Open in iBooks does not show up in options for a PDF

I am trying to get a PDF into iBooks on my ipad without syncing to iTunes. I read that when a PDF is opened in email or Safari an "Open in iBooks" option shows up. Under Open in.... I have about 6 options for different Apps but iBooks is not one of them. I do I get iBooks to show up in Open In.........?

It might depend on whether the PDF has got some of digital rights management on it that is not supported by iBooks. I think the limit for the number of apps that appears in the 'open in' menu is 10 apps, so if you've only got 6, and iBooks is installed on your iPad, then it not appearing in the list kind of implies to me that it's not supported. Have you tried resetting your iPad to see if that 'clears' the problem : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

8859-1 PDF does not show french characters.

Hi All,
I am stuck in this issue for 2 days now and finally i decided to post it here.
I have created a custom oracle report(10G) with BI to open in PDF. The XML prolog Value is defined as <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-15"?>
Now when i run the report in R12 the pdf file shows junk character for french characters(É shown as "%o"). These characters are displayed properly if i look at the XML file. When we run that output from the server we get the weird characters but if we take the same output (XML) file and run it locally using desktop publisher the PDF document shows the French characters
I check the nls_characterset and it is defined as AL32UTF8(which supports french)
I read some articles they advise to copy fonts from *$FND_TOP/resource* to *$OA_JRE_TOP* and *$AF_JRE_TOP(lib/fonts)* , but it does no work.
Also, one of the article says to add files in $JAVA_HOME. But i was not able to find JAVA_HOME and the dba says we have $JAVA_TOP and we are not suppose to change anything here.
we are using EBS R12.1.3
oracle reports : 10.1.2.0.2
Any help on this will be appreciated.
Regards,
K

PDF form filled in Preview does not display correctly in Adobe Reader/Acrobat?

I recently received a PDF form from my bank, and filled in the fields and affixed my signature. Saved the form. The recipeint of the form opened the PDF in Acrobat or Adobe Reader and the fields don't display the filled in form, unless you click in the field. After you click out of the field, the entry disappears. When you print the form from Reader or Acrobat, the fields are blank, but the signature prints.
Before saving the form from Preview, the fields appear normally in Reader/Acrobat.
Running Lion 10.7 and Preview 5.5.
Anyone else have this happen?

I've since found out that there is somewhat of a "fix" that addresses a way to see the form entries in Acrobat, but doesn't resolve the problem the Preview creates. There is a script available on the Adobe forum that can be installed into Adobe Acrobat: http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/2009/11/script_to_fix_mac_osx_previewa.html. The link and also explains the problem which should really be addressed by Apple. After installation, it will appear in the Edit menu of Acrobat. Once you open a Preview form, selecting "Fix Field Appearances" will repair the form so that the entries are visible.
Preview will still create bad forms, but this script will allow them to be visible in Acrobat. Unfortunately if you're sending a form to someone, there's no way to know if the recipient is using Preview or Acrobat and whether they even know about the problem. So you would have to create the form in Preview, open it in Acrobat, fix the field appearances and re-save. So it's not really a fix, just a work-around. Still don't use Preview for this reason.
I don't know if the script works with Adobe Reader, there's no mention that it does or doesn't in the forum entry.

IDM 8.1 with firefox does not show all GUI items

Hi,
we are running IDM 8.1 Patch_5 on Solaris 10. We have 2 instances, Prod & UAT. UAT runs from Tomcat 5, Prod uses Sun Appserver 8.
But our problem seems to be the Web Client.
When We lookup a user and then open the tabs for them, for example "Security" Firefox is not showing the
little boxes that allow you to allocate attributes etc. Instead, we just get the form title and then a blank line.
I did some reading and noted that there were some Java issues with IDM and Java and Firefox but I cannot apply
the workaround. I also tried the edit of Waveset.properties and adjusting the baseHref as suggested elsewhere but this
also does not work.
We are using Firefox Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100627 Firefox/3.6.6
As you can see this is a SPARC desktop!
Also Java was tried with v1.5_16 and now currently jdk1.6.0_07.
Can anyone please assist? This is rather urgent. I will be trying my Mac at home tonight, but we need something
that works now! Interestingly, this is the first time I have seen this problem. It may be related to Firefox, but I tried using Opera as well
with the same result.
Please assist!

Hi,
thanks for the information. I doubt we will be modifying the base code of IDM in this way. I am a bit disappointed that a
Sun product, running on a Sun desktop has this issue, but I think it more of a synergy between Java and Firefox, although
Opera was basically broken the same way, too.
Our workaround for now, is to have a separate install of Firefox, which is 3.0.3 and Java 1.5.0_16, which we know work
and run this as a parallel browser, with a symlink to it as "firefox-idm". This is OK, but not really that good.
Interestingly, IDM 8.1 displays perfectly on Snow Leopard and G5 Leopard using Firefox 3.6.6 and Java 1.6 on
Snow Leopard and with Java 1.5 on the G5 release.
We are thinking of apply IDM patches, but are reticent to do so, if they break any existing functionality......
Cheers
rachel

Video preview does not show a quicktime option

My main videos are going to YouTube and I would like my preview in Premiere Pro CC to be quicktime so I can edit correctly to the format. Under New Sequence Settings it does not give me that option. Is there something I need to manually install?

What platform are you on? QuickTime is available as the Preview File Format [PFF] only on Mac.
In general, the PFF is not critical the final encoded output, but there are a couple exceptions. So I'm interested curious about why you feel it's important to have the PFF match your eventual export format.
Also, my understanding is that the preferred format for YouTube is h.264, not QuickTime. I haven't studied YouTube's recommendations/requirements, but I know for a fact that the format for all YouTube presets is h.264.
