PDF files created with Primo PDF or Progeny PDF printer

I am working on a computer with Windows Vista on it and I now have a problem when I create a PDF using the Primo PDF printer, or the Progeny PDF printer -- if Adobe is already open with a file, the new file appears with fuzzy colors. When I close Adobe, the files seem normal. Any idea why this happens? Has anybody had the same problem?

Not a known problem. And the "already launched" problem points to an issue with Reader.
Please submit some samples with a bug report for Reader to debug.
Here is what the issue looks like (click to zoom) :
On the left side is the PDF file opened with no other instances of Adobe Reader open. On the right side is what the exact same file looks like when opened after another instance of Reader (displaying another PDF file) was already open.
It's as if the font rendering engine was incapable of multi-threading. Like Reader can only render the font properly if the PDF file in question is the only one it's got in RAM.
Worth noting :
Opening a 2nd PDF file with distorted fonts does not affect the first open PDF. That one continues to display normally. Only every subsequent instance of Reader will have this issue.
Files were saved normally via Photoshop CS5, although this issue has been present for at least 2-3 versions if not more (only started saving PDF's around that time - it's quite possible this was ALWAYS an issue).
This is strictly a SCREEN RENDERING ISSUE. The PDF file prints to paper just fine with uncorrupted fonts no matter how it looks on-screen.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, this happens across multiple computers. Whether I create the PDF via Photoshop CS3 in WinXP or via Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 on a completely different computer... it will have the same issues. Tried it at work, too -- miles away from home. Same issues. Graphic cards are also from different makes, and display the same issue.
This happens to every single font in the document, regardless of how common or obscure a font it is. In this case, it's Helvetica Neue.
Again, because this important : even if the fonts look distorted on-screen, they will print out on paper just fine. This is a screen rendering issue.
Default PDF settings, no layers, vector data non-rasterized.
Hope this helps.

  • Can't open DNG files created with Mac CS5 downloader in Mac CS4 Photoshop

    I recently installed CS5 on my mac but I kept CS4 installed as well.  I notice that I cannot open DNG files created with CS5 in Photoshop CS4.  Bridge CS4 shows the files only as icons - no image thumbnails.  I am able to open these same files on a Windows version of CS4.  Is there some plugin for my mac CS4 that will enable me to access the DNG files created with CS5?  Is there a way to use my CS5 downloader when converting my raw files from my camera to DNG files that will make them compatiple with PS and Bridge CS4?

    Well, yes...but you'll need to modify your DNG Converter prefs to allow for that. You''ll need a recent (ideally current DNG Converter 6.4.1 or above) and click on the DNG Converter preferences and select the correct DNG Converter options. Check DNG Converter 6.4.1 (the current version) and click on "Change Preferences" to be sure select Camera Raw 5.4 and later then make sure CS4 is updated to ACR 5.7 (which is the last version of ACR for CS4) However, the changes made to ACR 6.x really should be adopted since IQ for ACR 6.4.x is a lot better...

  • Captivate File Created with Trial Will Not Open in Paid for Captivate

    I have a file created by Trial version of captivate. It was created in a different computer. Now, I have to make some modification in the file. However, when I tried to open it with Captivate 5.5, I got the error shown below. I am not able to use the popular solution provided in this link Click here to view   because the file was not created in my computer. I believe that there is a lock on the file since it was created with Trial version of captivate. Is it possible that I send the file to a representative, and they look into it?

    Was the file created with the same version? You talk about 'trial', but the only trial version available at this moment is Captivate 8. You were never able to open a Captivate project in a previous version, that explains why you cannot open it in 5.5.

  • DNG files created with LR4 do not show thumbnails

    Hi, 
    When using LR3 to create DNG files from my RAW files, those files would show me thumbnails of my image in Windows Explorer.  I am running Windows/7 (64) and have installed a CODEC from "Fast Picture Viewer" that allows thumbnails from RAW & DNG files to be shown.   It seems, however, that the thumbnails do not show for DNG's created with LR4.
    To Remedy this I uninstalled the CODEC.  Downloaded the most recent version and installed it but this did not fix the problem.
    I then went to the user forum for the CODEC product and searched for my problem.  I found a thread who's solution is to turn off "Embed Fast Load Data" when exporting to DNG and it fixes the problem.  I tried this and indeed it did fix it.  The responder went on to say ".....When this option is enabled the files created are no longer DNGs (just an undocumented private format of Adobe that no one else can read to this date)".   This statement surprised me as it is counter to what I understand Adobe created DNG to be.  Can I get some input on this comment as if true it is very troubling.
    My second question is that I see where to turn off the "Embed Fast Load Data" in the LR Export module, but where do I do the same thing in the Import module when I'm selecting import mode "Copy to DNG"?
    And, my thrid question is this.  If indeed the DNG files created by LR4 are proper DNG files and this CODEC is just flawed in some way, does anyone have a better way to allow image thumbnails to be shown in Windows Explorer?
    Thanks -- Dan

    Hi David,
    You testing does not coincide with mine.  I have consistently kept "Use
    lossy compression" turned off.  With lossy turned off, it seems that using
    Fast Data Load prevents the thumbnails from displaying whereas turning off
    "Fast Data Load" allows the thumbnail to be shown.
    Below is comment from Adobe confirming that they have yet to release the
    spec containing "Fast Data Load".

  • Video from .ts files (created with Arcsoft Showbiz) played in accelerated.

    Hello everybody, can you explain me why in PREMIERE PRO CS6, the video from .ts files (created with Arcsoft Showbiz) is played in accelerated while the sound is played normally ?
    If it is normal, an update would be great
    Thank you.

    >imported from vhs (with Hauppage Colossu).
    As far as I know, the best way to digitize vhs tapes is with a http://www.grassvalley.com/products/converters product
    Model 55 is one way from tape to computer, model 110 allows exporting back to tape
    Files are DV AVI which edit very well in all versions of Premiere

  • Importing movie files created with SONY HDR-TG5

    Having trouble importing movie files created with this camera. Have had success importing direct from the camera using streamclip, but struggling with old files imported from our PC. These files have these two extensions; .modd and .m2ts

    Eric:
    Thank you. MPEG Slipstream worked great.
    Do you know if there is software available that would let me see what is in/copy the files in the Sony folder so that I might be able to copy the disk directly instead of having to copy the files off of it with Handbrake? Would having the QT add-on for the MPEG-2 playback component be helpful?
    Thanks again

  • Nokia 3500 classic - .rms files created with junk ...

    I have purchased a Nokia 3500 classic in July 2008. I am using 1GB memory card and installing applications on it.
    Recently I found that though my memory card's capacity is 1GB, the space utilised was shown as 3.4GB. I was stunned. Then I opened the memory card in computer via usb cable and found that there are lot of .rms files created with junk characters file names and i am unable to delete the files. The only option left to me was format the memory card and I went for that. After formating, I again installed three applications and again i found that the file size of the application itself is increasing by some KBs.
    I have scanned it but no virus found.
    Why this is happening and what is the solution for it. Please help.

    it are the settings of the app(i think) so thas what thay are and the junk charecters make it hidden for EVRY SINGLE FILE MANAGER FOR J2ME(cell phone app)

  • After Effects CS6 connot open files created with CC 12.1 Mac version

    After Effects CS6 connot open files created with CC 12.1 Mac version. Is there an update?
    I am running Windows 7 Pro and Adobe CS6 Suite with all updates

    You are never able to open projects from one version of After Effects in an earlier version. This has always been the case.
    You can use the command File > Save As > Save A Copy As CS6 to save a version of the project from After Effects CC (12) that can be opened in After Effects CS6 (11).

  • Usage limitations on files created with CS6 beta?

    My gut tells me that the cs6 beta falls under the cs6 license sections "Non-Serialized Software" and "Evaluation software" which state:
    "...for demonstration, evaluation, and training purposes only, and only if any Output Files or other materials produced through such use are used only for internal, non-commercial, and non-production purposes."
    Am I correct in assuming that this applies to all files created with the cs6 beta? I don't see this discussed anywhere which makes me wonder. I have made some nice progress on one of my files and now I'm wondering if I have to stop and redo everything in my old version. I don't want to sink much time into the beta if nothing I create is publicly usable.
    Official clarification would be appreciated.

    It's completely awkward that I haven't realised this so far, usually I export everything to PNG -> resize PNG with ACDSee -> convert to JPEG and then forget about it Thank you for clearing this up!

  • Using XML files created with PDF form in Excel

    I have returned survey XML files created by a survey form using Lifecycle Designer. Have been unsuccessful in the importing of multiple XML files into Excel as a 2nd file just overlays the 1st file's data.
    I have been reading a number of posts that most likely tells me that sending the PDF survey form out via e-mail and getting the returned XML file back via e-mail was not the best way to do it. Unfortunately it is what I have to deal with now, so two questions I have:
    1. Is there a known method for importing all of these XML files into any Office program more easily than what I have been dealing with, and
    2. What method would be best used if I have surveys to send out but have no web server or any other tool other than my local software on my PC for collecting and compiling the returned data?

    Are you clicking the Send Email button while previewing the pdf form?
         -> If yes, have you specified preview data on Form Properties panel?
                    -> If yes, does your form contain Table or repeatable subforms?
    If all the above point are true, you will get multiple data in your xml.

  • Why does my Acrobat IX not open PDF files created with my Adobe CreatePDF application?

    My Acrobat IX will not open PDF files that I create with my Adobe CreatePDF application

    Thanks for answering ... Long answer sorry ... recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7.  With XP I could create PDFs with/for any document I created ... I think the XP App was Acrobate Complete as well as I could print directly to a PDF file. In any case, I was always able to creat PDFs.  Since upgrading to Windows 7, I lost my ability to create PDF files by conversion or by printing directly to PDF format. Therefore, I purchased the Adobe CreatePDF application from Adobe for about $100.  However all Adobe CreatePDF files have a different screen icon and my Acrobate XI supplied with my new Windows 7 intsall does nor recognize the Adobe CreatePDF created files. I am guessing but I suspect the Adobe CreatePDF app is creating Postscript print files and not Windows compatible print files.  I would like to tell Adobe about this Bug or failure, but it seems I am unable to contact Adobe directly and talk/chat with a human. 

  • Trouble converting files created with 9.2 using 5.0 version.

    I have multiple pcs using 5.0.1 version of acrobat without any problem.  Recently bought new pc with 9.2 installed.  Problem is when I create with new version, older versions can't open.  Error message says file corrupted.  I tried downloading all upgrades for older version.  Is there a solution without upgrading all other pc's with newer version?

    I'm using Acrobat distiller from my 9.2 version normally converting a word document into PDF.  I haven't really changed any settings from original installation, but I'm afraid I must have some settings that are preventing those with the 5.0 version from opening.
