PDF does not display correctly

Issue: One of our website page displays a PDF form filled with data retrieved from database. The PDF file displays perfect in IE browser, but the PDF form was blank in Firefox browser - can not see the filled data at all in Firefox browser nor in print-out from Firefox.
I installed the most recent version of Firefox PDF viewer 0.8.1 add-on, and played with different options under the menu "options/Portable Document Format (PDF), but no luck to solve the above issue.
I noticed that not only our website, but also some government websites have the same issue display data filled PDF.
Anybody can help me out to resolve this issue?
Many thanks!

This may well be a limitation of the JavaScript-based PDF Viewer. It currently does not support all the feature of the Adobe plugin (or stand-alone version of Adobe Reader). You can test that theory using the steps in this article: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
While an end user can switch around among viewers by changing their Firefox options, unfortunately there currently is no way for websites to detect which viewer is in use and assist visitors in a personalized manner. I think for now you may need to recommend that Firefox users use the above article for assistance if more complex PDFs do not render as expected.

Main Viewer Window does not display correctly

Ever since I upgraded to Aperture 3.3 through 3.4.1, the main viewer window does not display correctly. Everything is justified to the right of the screen. When viewing images, the are not in teh center, they are over to the right. I can't even see the import controls when trying to import... actually I can't even press the import button or add metada. I am really in a bad position here. Need help with this... anyone out there have a solution please? my clients are waiting for their photos. Yikes!
Right justified?
No Import Controls?
Faces - Everything displayed in a single row, runs off the end of the right side of the screen

Oops - spry menu bar 2.0 does not display correctly when loaded

Oops - obviously I'm new at this. I think I got my graphics loaded now.
Dear Sirs:
I notice bzz31 had a pretty complicated post, so perhaps someone can help me with my complicated problem that has been vexing me for months. I tried the Spry Menu Bar 1.0, but it was impossible for me to edit, and I was delighted to see Spry Menu Bar 2.0 come out. However the 2.0 version has been frustrating me as well.
I can get my menu bar to display properly in Live View, as shown below.
However when I load everything onto the server, the menu bar does not display correctly, as shown below:
I don't quite understand the code "file:///" but I interpret it to mean that the Spry-UI-1.7 folder is in the topmost folder of MacPro5-Docs, which is my hard drive. Here's the code I'm having trouble with:
Here's my computer directory, shown below:
Since my index file is two folders down from Spry-UI-1.7, I loaded the files onto the server similarly, as shown in the next three pictures:
(The picture below is the same as the one just above, but now you can see the path from index to Spry-UI-1.7.)
I would be most appreciative if someone can help me.
Thank you.

Have a look at the following links
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryDOMUtils.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryDOMEffects.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<link href="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/css/Menu/basic/SpryMenuBasic.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Each of the above points to a file on your local system and cannot be found by the remote server.
Replace the red coloured parts with http://www.twhsbands.org/ will remedy the situation.
You also have some remnants of the other SpryMenuBar that should be removed from your markup.
Gramps
Wel, so much for the red coloured parts, they did not show up.
The red coloured parts read file:///MacProG5-Docs/

Report does not display correctly when exported to adobe

Post Author: mgisonda
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hopefully someone can help me. I am currently running Crystal Reports profession version 10. I have applied service pack 1 and recently service pack 6. I am having a problem with the display of a report within adobe. My report is a bit complex. It is a 8.5x11 one page landscape report. It is set up in a grid format with multiple lines and boxes drawn on it. Here is the report information: Report Definition----
Number of Database Fields: 144 Number of On-Demand Formulas: 40 UFLs in use: None Page N of M Used: No File Format Schema: 10.2.0 I created the report using CR developer. I use the report within a web project. The user requests the report and it returns to the user, an adobe file of the report. However, this is where I am having trouble. On my local development machine, the report displays fine. In CR developer, the report displays fine. When I export the report to Adobe from the CR Developer, it exports fine. BUT when I run the report from my web site, the adobe file that is returned is broken up over 42 pages. What seems to be actually happening is the return adobe file seems to think that the page size is 2in X 4in.. Where it got that, I don't know.The server running IIS is a windows server 2003. It has adobe 8.0 reader on it. I also have Crystal 10 Server Distribution loaded on it. And I have loaded CR10 Service pack 6 on that as well. Below is the web code that is used to display the report:Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared'Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReportsImports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.EngineImports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClassPublic Class PrintInspectionLayout Inherits System.Web.UI.Page Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim mNotInSpringDesign As String Dim mPartType As String mNotInSpringDesign = Request.QueryString("NotInSpringDesign") If mNotInSpringDesign = "TRUE" Then mStockCode = Request.QueryString("StockCode") lblNotInSpringDesign.Text = "Stock Code #: " & mStockCode & " does not exist in Spring Design." lblNotInSpringDesign.Visible = True Response.Write("<br><br><br><br><br><font color='blue'><center><a href='SpringDesignWildCardSearch.aspx'>Go To Search Page</a></center></font>") Else mStockCode = Request.QueryString("StockCode") Dim pList As ParameterValues = New ParameterValues Dim paramName, paramValue As String Dim pV As ParameterDiscreteValue = New ParameterDiscreteValue Dim Report As ReportDocument= New ReportDocument Dim expOpts As ExportOptions = New ExportOptions Dim pdfRtfWordFormatOpts As PdfRtfWordFormatOptions = expOpts.CreatePdfRtfWordFormatOptions Dim expFormatOpts As ExportFormatOptions = expOpts.ExportFormatOptions expOpts.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat mPartType = Request.QueryString("PartType") 'SELECT THE INSPECTION LAYOUT TYPE TO PRINT Select Case mPartType Case Is = "C" Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/CompressionLayout.rpt")) 'Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/PCAR.rpt")) Case Is = "E" Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/ExtensionLayout.rpt")) Case Is = "T" Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/TorsionLayout.rpt")) Case Is = "W" Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/WasherLayout.rpt")) Case Is = "F" Report.Load(MapPath("./Reports/FreeFormLayout.rpt")) Case Else End Select pV.Value = mStockCode pList.Add(pV) Report.DataDefinition.ParameterFields("StockCode").ApplyCurrentValues(pList) Response.ClearContent() Response.ClearHeaders() Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf" Report.ExportToHttpResponse(expOpts, Response, False, "") Report.Close() End If End Sub Any ideas as to the solution? Why is it not displaying correctly? I have spent two days researching every FAQ to try to find an answer, but to no avail. Please any help would be greatly appreciated. ThanksMike

Hi Paul
You're more likely to get an answer to this if you post in the UNIX forum.
By the looks of it, you may have a problem with your fonts.

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.

Adobe Reader X 10.1.1: PDF does not display in browser

Hello,
If I click on a link to a PDF-file, this PDF-file does not display in browser eventhough I have checked "Display PDF in browser" (Preferences ==> Internet ==> Web Browser Options) but instead Adobe Reader X opens the PDF-file outside browser. What is wrong?
Thank you for your help.

I solved the problem. I used Internet Explorer, 64-bit. If I use Internet Explorer 32-bit the PDF-file displays in browser. If I use Internet Explorer 64-bit Adobe Reader X opens the PDF-file outside browser.

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 does not display in Nightly

In Mozilla Nightly I only have one add-on - Flash. Whenever I try to view a pdf it does not display the content. I cannot find an add-on.

You can check the value of the pdfjs.disabled pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to make sure the build-in PDF viewer is enabled.

Dragging and dropping an item within horizontalList does not display correctly

It appears that when I drag an item from a HorizontalList to another location within the same HorizonList, it does not display the images correctly. In my HorizontalList, I have an itemRenderer that shows the thumbnail image of the item. I have about half a dozen items in the list and when I drag the sixth item and move to the beginning of the list, the display looks as if the first and the sixth element are switched, while in reality the resulting dataProvider array seems to have the right order, meaning the sixth element became the first element and the first element became the second element and so on. Has any one seen such a behavior and how do I rectify this? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Ramesh
The HorizontalList def is
<mx:HorizontalList id="myList" width="92%" height="100%" columnWidth="90" rowHeight="105" rollOverColor="#f26722"
                    itemRenderer="com.myListRenderer" labelField="name" dataProvider="{arr}" columnCount="10"
                    click="updateView(event)" dragEnabled="true" dropEnabled="true" dragMoveEnabled="true" >
</mx:HorizontalList>
The renderer code is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalAlign="center"
        verticalAlign="middle" width="90" height="90" verticalGap="0" creationComplete="init()" >
<mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        private function init():void {
            imageFile.source = data.url;
            imageName.text = data.name;
    ]]>
</mx:Script>
    <mx:Image id="imageFile" scaleContent="true" width="90" height="70" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle"/>
    <mx:Label id="imageName" height="18" width="90" textAlign="left"/>
</mx:VBox>

Hi Alex,
In your blogpost on itemRenderers, you discussed something relevant in a brief section on "Background color changes when data changes". However, I could not find any reference for use on dataChange event handler. Can you pelase point me to the right article?
Implementing dataChange event instead of creationComplete did not solve my issue. I still had the issue. Thanks, Ramesh

MB56 does not display correct information

Hello,
All 3 plants, use transaction MB56 for traceability. This shows the components that used to manufacture the product and also where the product was shipped, depending on whether you select top/down or bottom/up. I have found an error in the transaction. When you execute for Bottom up to see where the product was shipped, the information is not correct.
The number of pcs is correct for the total amount shipped, but it does not display all of the deliveries that the product was shipped on. Please see the attachment for details of one example. I have executed this for 4 different materials and I have the same problem everytime.
Could you tell me what went wrong?
Thanks
JJ

Hi John,
MB56 will not display data because there is pre-requisite of it.
You must have to compile the inventory documents by MB57 first.
Only you need to execute MB57 t.code.
Specify from & to date & execute it. (It will take some minutes).
Then check it by MB56. You will find traceability.

Opening pdf in illustrator does not display correct font

I have a 30 page pdf form that says it is in timesnewroman font. I of course have Times New Roman. How do I make illustrator recognize the font? It is looking for a font that does not have spaces inbetween the words. When I load the font up it simply replaces all the characters with ??. I tried renaming my times new roman the same way but it still won't recognize it.
I have Adobe Illustrator CS 2.

Hello,
Just like to share my experience with this issue as I too sometime get work that are provided to me from the client in pdf format, and I too sometime get the ???. if possible I try to do the find and replace font technique if the text boxes aren't broken up into sections when I put it into AI, if the text are in section then I'll get spaces in between the words after replacing the font.
What I can do then is delete all the ones that are spaced out but leaving the the very first word or text box and then open up the pdf then hightlight & Copy the text that I need and go back in to AI and paste it in the first text box. Then press the enter key to move whatever text I need to the next line etc. if need be.
If the above don't work I usally contact the client and ask them to provide the font if possible or ask them to turn the text into outline for me to work on. But if it's in outline then that means I won't be able to type if I needed to edit something.

Cfdocument format = PDF - does not format correctly

Greetings
I am simply attempting to print invoices from a query that displays correctly on the cfm result page, but using cfdocument to render a PDF version (to mail out) does not format even remotely close to the cfm page.
I tried every conceivable method I know of, including:
Formating the cfm page (via CSS and hardcoded table width) to be 612 px X 792 px (8.5 X 11 in), and here is the cfdocument code:
<cfdocument
format="pdf"
pageType="custom"
unit="in"
marginbottom="0.75"
marginleft="0.75"
marginright="0.75"
margintop="0.75"
pageHeight="11"
pageWidth="8.5"
mimeType="text/html"
fontembed="yes"
orientation="portrait">
<style type="text/css">
@import url(css/moorings.css);
</style>
<html> blah blah </html>
</cfdocument>
The rendered PDF file is 4.5 X 5 in- (both in IE and Firefox) What am I missing here?
CF 9
Thanks in advance, as always.

Well, in answer to my own question, the solution is in the CSS, using tables and CSS:
set table height and width to 100%
set font-size:100%;
set header font, bolder, larger :125%;, etc.
Also using the cfdocument attributes as shown in the posting
The PDF now prints correctly, margins are perfect.
Now I have to figure out how to loop through the 900+ records, convert each to a PDF and print one copy of each-
Anyone?
Thanks....

Mac mini minidvi to hdmi does not display correctly new Panasonic TC-L37D2

Hi,
I have the 2009 mac mini (2.2GHz cor 2 duo nvidia 9400 256mb) and I recently purchased the Panasonic TC-L37D2 LED LCD tv. I use the mini dvi to dvi adapter with a belkin dvi to hdmi cable I purchased at the apple store to connect the mac mini to the tv. I cant seem to get the display to correctly fill the screen. When I select 1080P the top menu bar is out of view. Basically the desktop is larger than what is displayed on the screen making navigation difficult. I tried overscan but my screen then has black bars framing the entire desktop. Are there any updated display drivers I can try to fix this. I tried the third party software switchresx but I was only able to correct the vertical issue and not the horizontal issue (so the apple pulldown in the upper left corner is off of the screen). Why is it such a hassle to get this working? My buddy has a 42 inch Panasonic plasma and does not have any problems. Anyone know the correct switch resX settings at least? I see that Apple has added an hdmi port to the new mac minis but that just means I should have waited to buy mine. :/

Read my post in Mac Mini to HDTV. A 3rd party utility called DisplayConfigX will allow you to create a custom resolution that will resize the Mac DVI/HDMI output to fit.
It is annoying when that top menu bar is off the screen huh?

Iweb updated page does not display correctly in firefox or safari

www.rohanstevenson.com
tried to update my site with a couple of cues and the wheels have completely come off. i cannot get the site to display correctly.
it looks a bit better if i open the page directly from the computer, but after sending it to ftp host it will not load up properly in the browsers.
i have no idea what is going on and i rather desperately need that site back up and running
help!!

This is happening probably because the text encoding on your server end is set wrong. Or perhaps your FTP program is doing the encoding differently. This is commonlly seen when uploading iWeb pages to 3rd party servers and can be corrected.
Our own Tom Gewecke has a nice writeup about these strange looking characters that can appear. He also has some suggestions about what to check and what to do. Check it out and see if any of it might be relevant to your situation. If not come on back and we'll keep trying to troubleshoot with you...
