Pdf opened in Acrobat different in Illustrator

I received a pdf that opens in Acrobat and Photoshop one way, (as a 3.5x2 business card) then opens as an 8.5 x 11, 10 up set of bus cards in Illustrator. How is this happening? (I do get font substitute message, but what would that have to do with seeing entirely different content?)  I want to open the file as it opens in Acrobat but that version/page is no where to be found when opened in the other applications.

Sounds like the pdf was cropped within Acrobat. Acrobat has a strange way of cropping. I'll bet that if you open the pdf in Acrobat (Standard or Pro...?) and select Crop Pages, you will see the same extraneous content in the preview. In short, Acrobat modifies (modified in this case) a documents crop data, but does not delete the image data.
(I don't often call things a bug, I consider this to be one)

  • Is there a way to make a linked PDF open in Acrobat instead of the browser?

    I would like to make a PDF open in Acrobat instead of the browser, so that the user can see its interactive features. Is there a way to do this in Muse? Or does it always spend on the user's browser settings?

    This would depend on the browser plugin installed , if browser does not have reader plugin then pdf will not open in browser.
    Not much can be done via Muse , but you can try some settings on pdf like password protected etc.
    Thanks,

  • Open PDF in Photoshop, manipulate, save as PDF, open in Acrobat...Blurry???

    Hello,
    I have Acrobat Pro and Photoshop CS2.
    I've noticed that if I open a crisp and clean looking PDF in Photoshop, maybe delete some text (with the eraser tool), then save the document as a PDF, when I open it again in Acrobat Pro, it's now pixelated and blurry and looks awful.
    Why does this happen if it went from PDF to PDF, and how can I prevent it from happening in the future?
    Thanks,
    Justin

    Photoshop PDF format is slightly different than Acrobat PDF. Photoshop must rasterize the PDF (which is where you get the blur). In this case, it is not ideal to use Photoshop to edit PDF that was generated by another design app.
    You should delete/alter text in Acrobat Pro - - or go to the original document that generated the PDF file.

  • Calling AVDocClose with more than one PDF open crashes Acrobat

    That pretty much sums it up. If I have a single PDF open and I call AVDocClose everything works great. If I have more than one PDF open it crashes Acrobat and takes down all of the open documents. Any ideas as to what might be happening and how to get around it? I'm seeing it in both Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 9.

    Okay, that sounds ike it could be something to look at. I'm certainly not an expert in using the SDK so maybe you can help me identify the potential issue. This is the code I'm using with some comments to help you understand what I'm doing. I just added the ASFileSysReleasePath references after reading your post but apparently I'm still missing something. The issue occurs in the code path where I'm working with local documents.
    ACCB1 void ACCB2 MyPluginCommand_Save(void *clientData)
    initializeVariables();
    if(myAVDoc==NULL)
    // if no doc is loaded, display a message.
    AVAlertNote("There is no PDF document loaded in Acrobat.");
    else
    //Here are a couple of functions that are just used to set up some file paths for both windows and acrobat
    string docName = getDocName();
    string path = buildAcroPath(docName);
    ASPathName upPath = ASFileSysCreatePathFromCString(NULL,path.c_str());
    //call doc exists to see if we have a local doc or one that is in control of my DMS - doesn't use any Acrobat SDK functions
    bool ndExists = ndDocExists(filename);
    if(!ndExists) //if the file is not from the DMS
    //save this file to a temporary location - this is what actually gets sent to the DMS
    PDDocSave(pdDoc, PDSaveFull | PDSaveCopy | PDSaveCollectGarbage , upPath, ASGetDefaultFileSys(), NULL, NULL);
    //send the document to the DMS and get the status of the operation back - doesn't use any Acrobat SDK functions
    int ndStatus = ndImport(path);
    checkNDStatus(ndStatus);
    else
    //This is a document from the DMS. Just do a regular file save
    PDDocSave(pdDoc, PDSaveFull | PDSaveCollectGarbage , pathName, ASGetDefaultFileSys(), NULL, NULL);
    ASFileSysReleasePath(ASGetDefaultFileSys(), upPath);
    ASFileSysReleasePath(ASGetDefaultFileSys(), pathName);
    AVDocClose(myAVDoc, false);
    return;

  • Click on download of pdf opens adobe acrobat reader, but then clicking on file save-as does not give a dialog box to change the name or location where it is sav

    Using Firefox 19.02
    When I receive an email with an Excel, Word, or PDF file attachment, and I click download, firefox opens up the associated program for all my users, however when you click on file>save-as you are not presented with the dialog box to perform a save.
    Excel and Word, no fix at all. Other than different browser or to click download, right click and go to folder, and then copy it out of there to another folder and open it.
    Help, what is going on here????

  • Why are colors of embedded videos opened with acrobat different to original files?

    Hello,
    I generated a videoclip in Premiere CC in different formates ( mp4, mov; flv.... ) and embedded it in an Indesign document. From there I generated an interactive PDF. Opening the file in Acrobat, the colors of the video are different as in a videoplayer like quicktime. Opening the pdf in a browser like safari, the colors are correct. Alternative I embedded the video with acobat pro but the result was the same like before. What is the reason for this problem? Do I have to mange some special colorsetting in the video or are there some presettings to be done in Acrobat?

    If you open System Preferences / Displays / Color can
    you change the color profile to others in the list?
    Or, do you get a "beep" and no change?
    I can change the color profile.

  • When I have a tab open with a pdf open in acrobat scrolling (with scroll wheel) will not work in any other tabs

    As in question title, acrobat version is 10.0.1.434

    I am using Firefox 8.0 and am having the same problem. I think this problem has existed since very early versions of FF. Very annoying. Chrome seems to do fine with the same situation.

  • Distributing .pdf as Reader only (can't be opened in Acrobat)

    Q1)  Is there a setting that lets me save my .pdf so that it can only be opened in Reader. Right now, if a user has Acrobat on their PC the .pdf opens in Acrobat. I want it to always open in Reader.
    Q2)  Can an older version of Reader (let's say 5.0) open a document that was created in a newer version of Acrobat (let's say 9.0)? If not, does a message display instructing the user to download the latest Reader version?
    Thx
    Jan

    1) Not possible.
    2) Depends on the PDF version.

  • PDF opens in Reader but Reader is not my default viewer

    I have doPDF as one of my printers so I can create a PDF file. In Control Panel Folder Options, my default PDF viewer is set to Foxit. That is what I want. I have Acrobate Reader on my PC for the rare instances I NEED Acrobate Reader. When I select doPDF to create a PDF file, the generated PDF file is opened but it opens in Acrobate Reader instead of Foxit (doPDF opens the newly created file apparently for verification that the PDF was created). Since Foxit is my default viewer, why does the PDF open in Acrobate Reader instead of Foxit? (Neither the Foxit people nor the doPDF people know why).
    BTW... When I select a PDF file in Windows Explorer, it opens in Foxit.
    In advance, Thanks

    In Run type regedit and open following registry path(Second part may differ from machine to machine):
    HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-762979615-2031575299-929701000-XXXXXX\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf
    On the Right panel ,right click and Add "String Value" by the name "Application" and then Modify(Right Click) this "Application" and add Value data as the name of application by which you want open pdf file.Eg. If you want to make Acrobat as your default application ,put Acrobat.exe or put  AcroRd32.exe if you want Reader as your default app. Similarly put the name of corresponding .exe for other pdf Readers you have and you want to make a particular as your default app.For knowing the name of  exe of other Readers, just check in “OpenWithList” just below .pdf(on left).
    I hope it can solve your problem

  • PDF won't open in Acrobat after Saving in illustrator

    Hi I am currently working on my final architecture project and am having issues with opening a PDF in acrobat after editing and saving in Illustrator.
    I am creating an architecture document in autocad which I then export to PDF to be edited in Illustrator. It opens fine in illustrator, however once I have edited and saved in illustrator I am unable to open in acrobat and the program just crashes.
    After editing in illustrator the file size increases fairly substantially, but I am able to open larger PDF files no problem if they have no been edited in Illustrator.
    Any help would be great. Let me know if any further information would help?
    Thanks!

    Hi Graffiti,
    I have posted it in the windows one as I am using Autocad in windows to create the origional PDF. However this has not caused any problems until now.
    In answer to your other questions I have used 'save' and 'save as' and tried saving under new file names.
    I have been saving the PDF rather than using the PDF printer.
    Let me know if any other info would help.

  • PDF displays differently from Illustrator CS4 to Acrobat 9.1.x - no idea why

    My name is Chris Plessinger. I'm the local IT support for a company that produces promotional products.
    Recently, the Art Department came to me with a problem.
    They had a graphic that was sent to them by the customer in a PDF file.
    The PDF, when opened in Acrobat 9.1, shows an image with another image imposed on the lower left hand corner.
    When the PDF is opened in Illustrator CS4, the image is there, but the smaller image that was imposed on the lower left corner isn't there.
    In Illustrator, when you press CTRL-Y, you can see the outline of where it would be, but it's clearly not there.
    I'm don't know enough about the software to determine why it is showing up in one Adobe product and not displaying in another.
    I am uploading the file in question to this post.
    I would be very, very appreciative of any feedback on I can get on this issue. I'm not a graphic artist and can't answer the question being posed to me.
    Regards,
    Christopher

    Sweet.
    But I have a new question now: how (exactly) did you accomplish this? How did you flatten it?
    Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate your taking the time to help.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Press Quality PDFs created in CS4 show as "damaged" when attempting to open in Acrobat 5

    I've been having problems creating PDFs that can be opened in Acrobat 5. While using InDesign CS4, I'm trying to print to the Adobe PDF driver using the Press Quality setting, which as it states "can be opened with Acrobat and Adobe Reader 5.0 and later." However, when someone tries to open the resulting PDFs in Acrobat 5, they get a message saying "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." They open just fine in Acrobat 9.
    I have been able to export to a PDF and get it to open successfully in Acrobat 5, but unfortunately this is not an option with one file I'm working on (I need to print color separations as a PDF and then pull it into PitStop Pro to make adjustments). Does anybody have any ideas as to why Acrobat 5 isn't able to read these PDFs?
    Running Windows Vista Business with SP1 on a Lenovo with an Intel Core2 Duo processor and 3GB of RAM.
    Thanks.

    If you print to the Adobe PDF printer you are creating a PS file that is then automatically loaded into Distiller for conversion to PDF. Printing to a different PS file should not make a difference, unless the PS driver is substantially different. You can also print to file with the Aodbe PDF printer and then convert with Distiller (eliminating the automatic Distiller step). If you are printing to a network location, that may be the issue. Acrobat has long had problems with some network connections. To check this out, you might print locally and then move the file to the network drive.
    In terms of posting a file, you have to put it on a separate server and then post the link.

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.
