PDF images that magnify when clicked? (but not in Preview)

I'm viewing a 3-page PDF document received from elsewhere, using Acrobat 7.0 Standard on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. The document contains 4 figures. When I run the pointer (the "hand") over 2 of these images, a short horizontal bar with a short arrow pointing downward from it appears inside the hand. Clicking once significantly magnifies the size of the image, up to full screen or full window width. What happens with further clicks is a bit confusing, but there is no further magnification, and eventually a demagnification back to the initial size.
Nothing like this happens with the other two figures, and nothing like this happens if I view the document in Mac Preview. Only limited information on how this PDF document was created is available, except that maybe PowerPoint was involved at some stage.
Any ideas as to what's going on here?
Thanks for any info.

Hi A.E. --
If you're looking for a better response than you've gotten so far, I'd suggest the Mac Acrobat forums at http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ee6b2ed/
There's a chance that someone here may know, but since it's clearly an Acrobat "feature" (given that it doesn't occur in Preview), someone will DEFINITELY know the answer over there.
Best of luck!

  • PDF forms that can be printed but not saved - possible?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to do the following:
    - First of you create PDFs that you would put on to a web site.
    - The user would then fill in fields on this PDF form when they access it.
    - This would create a completed form which the user could then print but they would be unable to save it.
    Is this possible?
    Someone mentioned Adobe LiveCycle Designer to me. Can this be used to achieve all this? Or what software would be needed or would you recommend to do this?
    Thanks.

  • Help! INDD PDF file appears pixelated when projected, but not on laptop

    Hello, all,
    I'm preparing an important presentation and want to ensure that my slides look great when projected at an event next week. I'm concerned because at a practice pitch a couple weeks ago, they appeared pixelated when projected, even though they looked beautiful on my laptop screen. This includes fonts and vector graphics. I had created the slides in InDesign 6 and exported to PDF. I'm posting screen shots of the file settings for each below. Should I have done something differently? Can anyone share best practices for exporting to PDF when the intent is to project the PDF from a laptop? I would really appreciate any advice.  Thanks!

    Waiting on technical details of projector

    If you're displaying the PDF with Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader then any vector content (graphics and text) will scale perfectly; the document setup in InDesign has no bearing other than to set a 4:3 aspect ratio for the pages (PDFs don't measure in pixels). As Rob says there's no getting around the resolution of the projector.
    Given how PDFs behave there's no complex 'best practice' guide for on-screen or projected content driven by a desktop computer. You can work in any color space and use any combination of transparency, raster and vector content you wish, then just run  Export > Interactive PDF with the default options. If you're displaying via a mobile device it's a good idea to work in RGB, as some PDF-reading apps will mess up  CMYK>RGB conversion, and don't bother with any rich media (Flash/video).

  • Adding an image when signing, but not in the signature field, in Reader

    Hi,
    I would like to know if it is possible to add an image to a pdf document when I sign the document in Reader.
    I do not want to add the image in the signature field as a signature, but rather below the signature field. The image is 'n barcode providing me with more information on the signature.
    I have looked at the Stamper example, but this functionality is not avialable in Reader.
    Thank you,
    Magda

    If you insert after signing you will break the signature!!   You need to do any such stamping BEFORE signing.

    I have an image that I removed from its back ground and I would like to scale the bottom portion of the image because its to wide but not have that effect the top portion of the image which is the correct width. but also keep the aspect ratio correct, keep it looking as natural as possible (its a piece of jewlery) ? how can I begin to do this.

    The area circled in red is to wide (the width) the necklace's width is as wide as the models entire chest. And also the length of the necklace it's to long it should come down to the clevage area on the model/woman.

  • When connecting my ipod nano (5 gen) I get an error messege saying that it was recognized but not properly. Ive tried everything the support site says and it still not working. What do I do now?

    When connecting my ipod nano (5th gen) I get an error messege saying that it was recognized but not propperly. I treid everything that the support site said to do but it still not working. What do I do no?

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • Why does my computer say that its plugged in but not charging yet the battery is not reducing

    it says plugged in, not charging, 99% (battery life)
    but the battery life is not reducing & hasnt for 2 days. it just stays like that.
    hp pavillion dv5-2132dx    laptop
    windows 7 64 bit
    i have had a few weird occurences and im not sure what caused it. abruptly my speakers would stop working & my battery life would start reducing. that happened i think 3 times over the course of several months. this last time which was the 3rd is when i changed electrical outlets thinking that maybe that was the problem. and the power & speakers immediately went back to normal. its only been a few days since i changed outlets & everything is working as it should be however as mentioned the battery icon on the taskbar says that its plugged in but not charging & it remains at 99% for the last 2 days.

    Hi,
    First of all, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.
    Now, plug in the AC Adapter without the battery inserted, start the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here.  When the uninstall is complete, shut the notebook down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery and then start the notebook on just the battery.  Windows will automatically reinstall the driver - leave Windows running for a few minutes. Shut down the notebook again.  Now plug in the AC Adapter ( with the battery still inserted ) and start the notebook to see if this has helped the charging issue at all.

  • Lightbox Image that autoloads when webpage is visited

    Hi, Please point me in the right direction. I want to create a lightbox sign up image that autostarts when a new visitor is on our homepage. Where can I find a tutorial about this or what are the keywords I can search? I have been looking for 'lightbox' but can't seem to find what I am looking for. I don't want there to be a thumbnail on the page and then click on it...I want the image to automatically pop up asking the visitor to sign up for our MVP club.
    Thanks for your time and help!

    Hi, I use Ibox for this task.
    this is the code y use in the body tag:
    <body onload="iBox.showURL('popup.php','',
                width: '700',
                height: '482'
            });">
    just replace popup.php for you form page. Ibox admits flash, html and iframe beside images.

  • I see a distortion icon image in Windows 8.1 but not in windows 8

    I saw distorted icon image in windows 8.1 but not in Windows 8. This bug doesn't affect Windows 8.1 functionality but causes some icons to look ugly, distorted, fuzzy.This bug can be seen in "Delete confirmation dialog box". The
    folder icon in delete confirmation dialog box will look distorted and ugly. Black edges will appear around the icon and the icon will not look correct.The same thing also happens in "Send To" menu.
    Also heard that this bug is not related to graphics card driver or any other thing.
    Hope windows will take necessary actions to solve this bug as soon as possible so that users like us can be satisfied with the new windows 8.1.

    Try running SFC scan. Refer the following link for more information:

    Bought the adobe product to convert a pdf image to an RTF file but cannot figure out how to get it to work

    HI wjleshe,
    I've checked your account using the email address that you use here in the forums, but I don't see any order history. Did you perhaps sign up with a different email address? Or did you sign up via the Reader mobile app for iOS or Android? If you got your subscription via an in-app purchase, Adobe wouldn't have record of your order. And, you would need to contact the app store if there is a problem with your subscription.
    Best,

  • My usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

    my usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

    Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
    Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.
