PDF documents show black pages or black images

Why do some PDF documents show black pages or black images when opened in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

On my regular tablet I have 9.4.5 and have not had problems as you describe. I am sorry that I can not play with that version this week as I do not have that machine available. For others that might be able to check the problem out, it might be useful if you post a sample page of your PDF for others to look at. Just enough that demonstrates the point. If you cannot do it with a page from the document you have, if it would be possible to post something similar to get at the point. If you are successful in creating a problem page, then it might be easier to figure out the problem.

Splitting PDF Document in several Pages

Hi ABAPers!
I'd like to break up a PDF document - which contains more than one page - into a single PDF document for each page (e.g. one big PDF document with 100 pages should become 100 PDF documents containing one page).
Does anyone know an internet source, where I can obtain more information regarding PDF formats in general (ideally with ABAP)?
I am familiar with reading of PDF, converting from OTF, et cetera. I either need a splitting tool like a report/function module (shipped with the SAP standard?) or a "how-to" manage splitting PDF documents. Also custom ABAP coding is welcome.
Any help is appreciated. Points are given in return.
Best regards
Torsten

Hi Sandra,
You have ExportPDF subscription from Adobe which would not combine files for you. It is only used to convert PDF into different formats.
For Combining PDF you might to purchase the different subscription : PDF Pack
Let me know if you have any other question

Read here > Known Issues | Adobe products on Mac OS 10.7 Lion
And go to ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the PDF Browser plugin to the Trash.
Quit Safari, empty the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. You should be able to view PDF files now.

Reduce File Size in Acrobat Pro (9.5.5) Corrupts Graphics in PDF Documents - shows up as black image

Whenever I use Reduce File Size in Acrobat Pro (9.5.5), sometimes some of the images (not all) get corrupted and show up as a black image in the new document.
Actually, the new reduced document looks okay when viewed in Acrobat, but the problem shows up when viewed in the Preview application on the Mac.
I'm using Acrobat 9.5.5 with Mac OS 10.8.6
I've tried re-importing the graphic into a new graphic box, which didn't work. Thinking there may be some type of corruption with the actual graphic file, I then tried viewing the graphic, then taking a screenshot of it to create a completely new file, and then re-importing the new graphic file into the original document (created in Adobe In Design 5.0.4). I then export the new document as a pdf, and brought it into Acrobat Pro to do the Reduce File Size. Same thing happens - black box appears where the graphic was.
I then tried using the Reduce File Size within the Save As function of the Preview application on the Mac - while the graphic remains intact, many of the other graphics in the document are "reduced" too much, to the point where the image quality is seriously degraded, and therefore not usable.
Any other ideas?

Hi Anoop,
I can share the graphic file, but not the pdf which contains it (as it contains confidential information) - thanks!

Pdf documents on the web are black (blank) when saved they open in preview.

I am running adobe acrobat pro (v10) on an intel iMac with mountain lion using safari.
No pdf files show in library/internet plug-ins as had been suggested as a fix.-help please.

Are you sure you are looking in the right Library? Try this - go to your Finder's Go menu and select Go to folder. In the resulting dialog type (or copy and paste) /Library/Internet Plug-ins and click the Go button. In this folder is there something like AdobePDFViewer.plugin? If so, remove it and relaunch Safari.
If you have already tried this I apologize for asking again. Lots of people have trouble following this. No offense is intended.
Best of luck.

How do I display PDF document as single pages on iPad?

Hi,
I have a company catalogue in PDF format, 20 pages long. We use Issuu to allow customer to view the catalogue on their PCs and mobile devices.
In Issuu you can customise the embed widget to show single pages, and this works fine when viewing the catalogue on a PC. The problem arises when trying to view the catalogue on an iPad. It appears that the iPad automatically sets the PDF to view as a Facing Pages document. It doesn't matter if I'm using Safari, or the Atomic browser we have installed (so that we can hide the URL bar).
I've created the document in inDesign as a single page document but the iPad still merges pages 2-3, 4-5, 6-7 etc.
The iPads will be used in our retail stores so it's important that the set up and navigation is as simple as possible. The catalogue is placed within an iFrame on the page so that I can but a navigational banner at the top that easily takes customers back to the main menu page. It's important that the catalogue opens within the page. The Issuu embed widget for Tumblr, etc only creates a preview of the catalogue which then opens in a separate tab, which unfortunately will not be suitable to our needs.
You can view the page here: http://www.eurocollections.com/block/catalogue.html
I've tried a number of different options, I've written to Issuu but they were unable to help as it only seems to be an iPad-related problem.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Peter

The PDF viewers on the iPad do not understand customised widgets. They understand the PDF format, exactly as it was designed by Adobe. Instead of trying to use a custom solution, use the features which are provided by the PDF format. Custom solutions work only for the situations that the company that wrote the custom solution wants them to work and they are a corruption of the normal way PDFs are used.
In your situation I'd remove all dependency on any custom widgets from your PDF document. Instead you can use links which allow you to click on a piece of text or an image in the PDF and the PDF software will take you to a different page. This is part of the PDF standard and will work on all software capable of showing PDFs. It is all your users should need to navigate from one part of your catalogue to another. Whatever software you're using to create your PDF should give instructions on how to create links in your PDF document.
Similarly your use of iFrames is a little stange. If your material is on a web site, put it in web pages where you can use all the features web pages give you, including blue-underlined links to other pages. If, instead, your material is in a PDF then put all the navigation in the PDF. Don't try to depend on a strange interaction between the PDF and your web pages.

I have a PDF document with 10 pages that I need to make into a book?

I received a PDF file containing 10 pages of a newsletter that needs to be turned into a book using InDesign. Is there a method that I may use to take the pages from this PDF file and make a book with 10 pages in InDesign?

for a 'simple' book:
create a new indesign document with 10 pages--uncheck facing pages in the setup dialog--set the page size, margins, bleeds--then--go to file>place>locate the PDF--check the checkbox that says 'show import options' choose 'media' from dropdown menu -- choose (pages) ALL-- double click the file name (the PDF)--this will load all 10 pages to your cursor--go to page 1--click with cursor (this will place page 1) go to page 2 and click, page 3 click, etc etc--you can go back and re-position the pages later...
note: if the plan is to print and staple the book, you will need 12 pages--and also note--the placed art will not be editable.

PDF document showing up blank in Reader 7.0, 8.1.0 and 8.1.2

I have a PDF document that does not render correctly under Reader 7.0, 8.1.0 and 8.1.2, on Windows XP SP2.
When I load the PDF, I will see part of the document page display correctly in the view area. As soon as I scroll the view area, the new area will show up as blank. If I scroll back to the original visible area, it will now be blank too. Print preview will also show the document as being blank. Printing gives a blank page.
If I close and reopen the document, I will be able to see again the part of the document currently visible in the view area, but scrolling will again make it turn blank. This happens only with this document. Other PDFs display fine.
The document also displays fine in Adobe Professional 8.0, and fine under the Apple PDF viewer app in Mac OS X. I have tried upgrading, reinstalling Adobe Reader and the problem remains.

The PDF is from an external source, so I can't give a 100% accurate answer.
File properties give the Application as "Canon", PDF version "1.3".

Viewing a PDF document with uniform page sizes:

As part of our month end reporting, the members of our team PDF several Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents and someone combines them into one PDF document using Adobe Acrobat X Standard. The combined document is sent to the Board of Directors. We are finding that while the document prints fine, when we/the Board are viewing it on our laptops, ipads, etc. some pages fit one full page to a window, while others are too big and some are tiny. I know that when I am viewing it I can click the ‘fit one full page to window’ icon, but I can’t seem to save it like this so that the Board can also view it like this. Is there a way to achieve this uniformity by adjusting certain settings at the time of PDFing the individual Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents or at the time we are combining? Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

The program I use to create the TIF files (OpenText's eDOCS Imaging) does not make PDFs, it makes TIFs (and TIFFs). To then convert this, if I try to do it through Adobe directly, I get an error which prompts me to open it in the native program and to choose print and then select the adobe printer.
This works perfect if every page is the same size, but many times my documents have many different page sizes as well as portrait and landscape within the same document (but that is a separate option).
Doesn't Adobe have a "use the original page size / orientation" as an option when creating PDFs from existing documents?

PDF document not full page but need to print it as a full page

Hi,
I have a pdf document which is 15 cm by 8 cm and need to print it as a full page without the white border making up the full page. How can I do this?
The document was created in publisher and saved as a pdf.
I am reading the document from Adobe Reader on a Windows XP machine.
Thank you for any help any one can give.

Do you have a printer that can print pages without a white border?
Very few printers can do this.

Can I set up safari to automatically open PDF documents in the pages app?

Can I set up safari to automatically open PDF documents from the internet into the pages app?

No - and you can't open pdf files in the Pages app on the iPad anyway as far as I know. You can export a Pages file as a pdf but you can't open them in Pages.

Pdf documents show checked background in safari

When I open a PDF document in Safari the background shows as grey and white checks rather than white, how do I fix this

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Printing problems with Pdf documents created with Pages

I upgraded to Acrobat 8.0 recently and for some reason when I save a Pages document to pdf, within the print options then try and print, it prints blank.
I have created other pdf documents which print OK, so the problem lies somewhere within Pages.
I didn't have the problem with Acrobat 7.0
ANy ideas

When you say "Acrobat", do you mean Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro? Or do you mean Adobe Reader?
If it is Adobe Acrobat, I would go to the preflight option and see what information you get there. But no, I have not had the problem myself.
