PDF file not showing correctly in Preview or other apps

Hi,
I've trying to find an answer to my question for some time now on the internet, but couldn't find it anywhere. When I open a pdf file from someone who created it using Windows diagrams that are supposed to be Matrices are not showing properly. Most probably the matrices were created using the equation builder in MOffice.
<-- this is supposed to be a matrix
There is also a problem with showing symbols like subscripted or superscripted letters (Arrows represent superscripted or subscripted letters, either up or down):
And for some reason, when I try to quicklook the file, some pages are displayed incorrectly - only showing a quarter of the page:
Any help on this? Is there some sort of an update to solve this problem, or should I download additional fonts??
I am using a Macbook Alu from 2008 with OS X Maverick installed - all latest updates are installed.. (However the same problem appeared when using an iPad)
Thanks a lot i advance!

Hi Carolyn,
I looked at your file and it seems the problem is with the resolution. The design is great but the resolution was too low.
Fortunately your Apple Smart Object was high resolution so I was able to increase the resolution of the file as it is. You will need to replace the Bar Code and possibly the little flower on the back cover with high res versions.
In the future you need to start with the document being sized right and the resolution at 300 ppi. Make sure your graphics are high resolution from the start as well. You can't regain resolution that was left out, although using High Resolution Smart Objects can give you the the latitude you need to size back up.
After I sent the file I looked closely at the font. The one font you used does have zaggies but it's supposed to. Bradley Hand ITC TT is kind of a rough font around the edges by design. If this is what seems to be the problem, you will need to change to another font. Still, the file needed to be higher resolution.
I sent one back to you in high res. All you need to do is replace the bar code and the little flower with high res version. The apple graphic smart object was high enough.

PDF files Not showing previews

I recently got a new computer with Windows 8. I installed adobe reader. Unfortunately, none of my PDF files show the preview, as they once had on my old PC. (see image below) I've checked my folder properties and the settings are correct. Is there anyway to fix this?

See if anything in here helps http://forums.adobe.com/thread/949406

Why do changes to a .pdf file not show up in iBooks?

I have a number of important and useful documents in .pdf format that are stored in iBooks on my iPad. I added a new document to the iTunes library and then synced the iPad. Voila! The new document showed up in the PDFs section of the iBooks collections. Then, I recognized that I needed to update some information in the document, so I opened the original (on my Mac) in Adobe Acrobat and added a few comments using the Typewriter tool. I then reimported it to the library in iTunes, then synced the iPad again. My added material was not in the document as it appeared in iBooks. OK, I deleted it from iTunes, synced the iPad again and the file was gone from iBooks, as I intended. I then reimported the new file with the added material into the iTunes library and synced again. The file still did not show my added material. I can look at the file in iTunes, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, even Preview and the file looks fine. I even changed the file name. The only place it does not look right is in iBooks. I can print it in any of the aforementioned applications and it looks fine. I suppose I could print it, scan it and then import it to iTunes yet again, but that seems to be kind of a stupid workaround.
I have done everything I can possibly think of. I have deleted the file from iBooks on the iPad, then deleted the file from iTunes, restarted, burrowed into the iTunes Library file (Users->myname->Music->iTunes->iTunes Music->Books->filename) and deleted the file directly from there and then emptied the Trash, restarted the iPad after deleting the file from iBooks, tried adding the information as a text box in Acrobat (instead of using the Typewriter), I've shaken my fist repeatedly, burned some white sage, even considered throwing my iPad across the room.
In desperation, I finally printed and scanned the page I needed, then opened the original file in Acrobat, added the new page and deleted the old one. Then, I reimported the file into iTunes and synced the iPad. Now I have what I need with the same file name as before. It's actually the same file, just modified by swapping pages. But, why in the **** can I not just add what I want to that particular page using Acrobat and then reimport that?
I am not a newbie. I still have my old Mac Plus out in the garage. I use Acrobat, Photoshop, Bridge and InDesign on a regular basis, so I am no stranger to Adobe products. Am I missing something? Something unbelievably simple?
(OK, deep, cleansing yoga breath...)
Even though I found a workaround, I'd still like to know why I couldn't do what I wanted to do.

Thanks, Demo, I'll give that a shot. On the other hand, I really don't want to have some files in iBooks and other ones in Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader will let me organize them in folders, it might be a great solution.
However, there's no ".pdf management" involved here. It's simply "Read the #%€\#^% .pdf file I gave you" and there is nothing to "manage". Whatever opinions Apple has about Adobe, .pdf is a fact of life and should not require any handstands and backsprings just to read a file. (Are you listening, Apple?) I refinanced my home with .pdf files; print it, sign it, scan it, e-mail it back. (OK, calm down, it'll be all right... Sigh...)
Whatever the result, I'll report back.
Thanks again.

PDF file not showing context

After upgrading to ML I have recived a PDF that if I open with Preview only shows me part of the info (layout tables and bullets) but the text does not show!
The text works for the windows users and I can see it in OmniGraffle.
Anyone an idea what's wrong?
Is it the PDF (i.e. the user who made it) or has it got to do with limitations within preview?
Kind regards,
Dani

Please post a sample of the PDF file itself. If you are not embedding the font in the PDF file, but the PDF file doesn't properly provide the font's name, this symptom will occur. Give as a link to the file and we'll take a look at if for you.

Hi
even i faced this kind of problem earlier.
You could control this through ABAP too.
i used
CONCATENATE '=REPLACE("' wa_abc-ordernumber '",1,14,"'
wa_abc-ordernumber '")' INTO lv_order number .
then pass lv_ordernumber to the fianl table..
Note: 14 is your sap field length.
lv_ordernumber(56) type c

HT2506 PDFs are not closing correctly in Preview.

Occasionally when closing windows in Preview, one of the PDFs will not close properly. The content of the file left the window, leaving me with a grey box for the window. It still includes the file name and page number and I am able to "scroll" through the pages to change the page number shown. Cmd +W will not close the active window. The only solution that worked was completely closing Preview itself and opening it back up.
Is there a way to prevent this from occurring or another way of closing the window without fully closing Preview?
http://i.imgur.com/IDAJQj8.jpg is an example of what occasionally happens when I try to close a file.

It occurred once again. I went into console and there were a few entries pertaining to Preview these include:

PDF files not printing correctly, only prints graphics (Vista)

Can anyone help me out? When I print a PDF file it only prints certain things,,,,,seems to print the more graphic items and not just plain text. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader. I can print fine to my printer from other applications. HP support was no help.
Thanks!
Robin

i might be having similar issue, my hp prints strange/alien looking font with vista/reader/pdf, looks fine on preview though. 'print as image' is the only solution i can find but it doesn't work for me..

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.

,pdf files not showing in iTunes podcast

I have always successfully included .pdf files as accompanying notes for my students' enhanced podcasts. It's always worked very smoothly and well - up to Feb 2009. Since then this function has ceased to be successful. I have had to create a separate page in my iWeb site for downloading .pdf files. Its a real pain for students as they can't get thei9r notes simultaneously with the podcast lecture. Can anyone please advise? Thanks

I am having the same problem with iWeb. This feature used to work. I confirmed that this is not an iTunes issue because I am successfully posting PDF files from another podcast publishing tool and it shows up as intended fine iTunes.

Images on a pdf file not showing on iPad

I received an email with an attached PDF file. When I open the 250 kb PDF file with 7 pages I do not see any of the images on the document, If I open the same PDF file on my Mac the images are on the document. I have tried opening this PDF file on my iPad by just pressing on the attachment icon and holding my finger on the attachment icon and then selecting Quick Look and "Open with" PDFReader Pro and GoodReader (both apps on my iPad). None of these options show the images

I'm having a similar issue. I have a PDF form for clients to fill out on the iPad that they submit and goes to my email. Well when I check the email on a mobile device (iPhone 4 or iPad 2) the PDF is there but all the fields are blank! If I check the same email from my desktop or lap top the fields are filled in! I can't figure it out, anyone please help:)

PDF colors not displaying correctly in preview

Forgive me if someone has answered this. I've searched the forums for about 30 min and cannot find anything.
When opening certain pdf files in preview, some of the photographs have messed up colors. It looks as though they are negatives of what they should be. I can open them in Adobe Acrobat and they look fine, but would much rather use Preview. Does this have to do with a setting when the pdf files are made? Is there any way to fix it?
I think I've described the problem enough, but below is a picture to help explain. The below picture is supposed to be a black arm sleeve with white and yellow letters. In this instance, the rest of the pictures on the document are fine, just a few of them were like this.

    * Arial - bold, italic, bold italic
    * Arial Black
    * Comic Sans MS - bold
    * Courier New - bold, italic, bold italic
    * Georgia - bold, italic, bold italic
    * Impact

Interactive PDF file not showing sound buttons in InDesign.

I have created an interactive file with sound in ID CC, tested it on my desktop browser everything was fine. But after saving it as an interactive PDF file the buttons disappear.

What PDF viewer are you using for your interactive PDF (Reader, Acrobat, Preview, other)? Did you set a preview in the InDesign Media panel (the default is None)?

Have Acrobat Pro, latest version installed.
Is there a special process to install it in Safari? (Windows)
Note: there is a Plugins folder in the Safari app folder, but inside it there iare only two Java plugins.
Maybe the reader is not installed in Safari, if not, how would I install the reader for Safari Windows only?

Syncing and saving PDFs
To add PDFs to your iTunes library on your computer, simply drag and drop the PDF into your iTunes Book library.
To sync a PDF to iBooks on your device:
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the Devices list on the left in iTunes 10.1 or later.
Click the Books tab in the resulting window.
Ensure that the Sync Books checkbox is enabled.
If iTunes is set to only sync selected books, be sure to enable the checkbox next to the PDF you want to sync.
Click Sync.

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!
