PDF Files Turn to Gibberish

My .pdf files (scanned or converted using Acrobat or the PRINT option) turn to gibberish when put into iWeb '08,v 2.0.4(830A41). In addition, .pdf files already on the web page are OK but the same files reloaded onto the page are gibberish. The .pdf files appear normal in everything but iWeb. This started recently. I last loaded a .pdf about 2-months ago. The Adobe support is non-existant, but this seems to be an iWeb issue.

Maybe the problem is solved, or avoidable. I've been checking the appearance of the webpage using the "Visit site now" option after publishing the page using iWeb. When I view the page from the actual site using a browser, the gibberish document is not gibberish. The gibberish problem is only when viewed in the "Visit site now" option. Guess I won't rely on that feature in the future.

  • PDF files turns white after exporting from InDesign CS5

    Hi all
    When I export PDF files fom inDesign CS5 they turn out all white when I open them in Acrobat Reader (I´ve tried both in version 9 and the latest version). When I first open the PDF it seems to be ok but as soon as I zoom out it turns white. Anyone have a clue or have experienced the same issues?
    Thanks a lot

    Is this something you can share? Put the PDF on a server someplace and post a link here, if you can. If you don't have your own server, you can use a service like YouSendIt.com.
    What settings are you using for the export? What happens in ID if you go to Preview mode?

  • How is it possible, that a pdf file turns into a psd file while sending with mail

    I have send a pdf file as attachment with mail. the file shows correctly as pdf file. but when the file arrived at the addressed location it turned into a psd file. in addition it seems there is a problem sending png and ai files. once those files have arrived through mail I am getting the feedback, that the files are are not scalable, they are fuzzy or completely messed up.
    has anyone an idea, where the problem comes from?
    thanks for response

  • ID CS3 : the 101 buttons bug - PDF file turning into a form

    Hi there,
    I'm just mentionning this issue with a clear title (I had mentioned it in another thread but with a wrong topic name, since I hadn't found out the bug).
    When working in inDesign CS3, there's a slight but annoying issue with interactive PDF buttons. As soon as your file reaches 101 buttons, the PDF document exported is considered as a form instead of a standard document (no matter if the buttons are present on the master pages, on the same pages or through the document).
    I've managed to find a workaround myself, and I found another one on these forums, but no real solution. Here they are:
    Workaround #1 (http://http://forums.adobe.com/message/2177707#2177707) :
    Instead of creating my controls in the master page (which caused the file to have more than 100 buttons), I created them (only once) in the first page they appeared in. Then, in Acrobat Pro, I just selected them and used the "duplicate" command.
    There are two benefits when using this solution:
    your PDF document won't turn into a form (which can be a real problem if you don't want to confuse the document users).
    your PDF file will be lighter. Indeed, when creating a button in inDesign (even if you create it on the master page) the exported PDF document won't contain X occurences of the same button, but X different buttons (which can incread the size of your document dramaticaly when it reaches a large amount of pages).
    Yet, if your document reaches 101 buttons on the solemn content, the bug will trigger anyway.
    Workaround #2 (http://http://forums.adobe.com/message/1322652#1322652) :
    After having exported your PDF file, lock it against editing (through the password protection system). Your document will still be considered as a form, but the annoying purple box won't pop any longer when you open the file.
    This solution is quite simpler, but it still is a workaround to the issue, not a solution.
    Well, I hope those workarounds will help someone, but if someone had a *real* solution to it, that would be great.

    Thanx! For me — prototyping — to block editing with password is enough (for now).

  • Pdf files print in gibberish

    I have vista home premium 2 gigs of ram and 3ghz. processor. When I try to print any pdf the diagram prints fine but the words and no.'s are gibberish ? This happens in IE7 Firefox 3.0.6. I can save the file to my desk top and it still prints the same way. I have tried printing to a brother hl 2040 laser and an epson r280 inkjet with same results.
    I can print from windows xp computer using reader 8 and everything prints fine to either printer. My xp has less ram and is a lot slower 1.6 ghz.
    Please help

    I have the same problem. Unfortunately "print as image" does not solve the problem. May be, we have to add some fonts to the system, the question is: Wich fonts?

  • Any idea why images in pdf files turn into negatives?

    I have noticed that anything saved in a pdf format, shows up as a negative on the ipad. Pictures and colours used in headers, etc. Very strange. Have noticed this in Goodreader as well as in email.
    Thanks.

    More information is needed.  How are the PDF's being created?  Where are they coming from?  All the same source or any PDF you open on the iPad?  Have you tried a reset?  Restore?  Other?

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!

  • How Do I Extract All Pages From A Pdf File and Turn Them All Into Separate Files

    Hi i have  downloaded 100 reports into a single pdf, that must be extracted into 100 seperate pdfs. A prety straightforward question, that i was not able to find a straighforward answer to.
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    i have Adobe Acrobat Pro, Version 10, would that work?
    Mind you, I want to take the 100 pages and turn them into 100 pdf files, avoiding of course going through the process of doing it one page at a time, one page at a time, one hundred times lol

    I've become increasingly frustrated with the ipad adobe app. I've subscribed to be able to convert my pdf files into word documents and it has yet to work I've paid for a service that does not work which in turn makes me a disgruntled customer to say the least very disappointed with such horrible service

    Which service did you subscribe to?  Adobe PDF Pack?
    Once I know the service that you subscribed to, I can move this post to the right forum so that you can get in touch with the folks who can assist you.

    How to turn of this blue grid and picture background?? pdf file in this link:
    http://www.grad.hr/mostovi/files/masivni/04_masivni_mostovi.pdf
    I need to print, but with all this color it would be a huge blow for my toner!
    p.s. I have adobe acrobat x pro...

    these pdf files are made from one or more huge books, to make learning little easier for us students... on one college subject from c.ing.
    as you can see here - http://www.grad.hr/mostovi/ma1.html - there are more of them. and they are here so that we can learn from them.
    they are made for visual purpose, all these difrent colors, when having lecturers in classroom on projector.
    yes, i can print them as they are now, but, as i said... because of toner and it's 100x easier to learn black from white, i'd love to have them in that way...
    p.s. what is preflight??
    cheers.

    When you say that you have the same problem, do you mean that you are:
    1. Not able to download Adobe Reader;
    2. cannot view a PDF file;
    3. or what?
    Please be a little more descriptive of your particular problem or, better yet, start your own thread and clearly indicate which problem(s) you're having and what you have done, thus far, to correct the problem(s).
