PDF Problem or is it me !!!!

In the past I would copy text from a multi-column pdf...(using Preview)
• Go to Menu>Tools>Text Tool
• all I had to do is option-drag as I select words and/or columns
• Then it is then copied to the Clipboard
• the Paste command then puts it into your text file....
Nothing gets copied to the Clipboards !!!!!
...... it no longer works ..... what step am I missing..... My copy/paste shortcuts are functional in all my text porcessors!!!!
Note .. You can do this procedure in Preview using the “Select Tool” from the Tools Menu.. ... but the Pasted copy can only be read and/or printed ... No editing !!!!

Adding more dialog...
Ran Applejack and Installed new copy of Preview using Pacifist... did not solve the problem..
When I copy/paste into a text processor, the insertion tool is blanking toward the lower bottom of the page, indicating data has been copied, but invisible...
When using command-A ....most of the page is selected/high lite...that will only happen if text or info is on that page....invisible !!!!!
When you open a blank window in a text processor... change your mind and hit command-w ....it will close...
But in this case, after trying to copy a column from a multi-column pdf and paste into TextEdit/Tex-Edit Plus....nothing shows..... but when try to close the document.... I get a dialog asking if I want to "Save"....
So what I am trying to say.... I used copy/paste from a multi-column pdf....data is there but not visible.......That does not make sense

What can be the cause of dots, where underground otherwise white appearance with small black dots.
They do not come with the pressure. but is rather confusing.

PDF problems in Acrobat 9 Pro
here's an example of the dots, and yes I have updated acrobat

You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

PDF problem part 2...

I guess a lot of people are having pdf problems.
When I export a pdf of a Travel Journal doc and view with adobe reader 7.0, the borders on the photos are not there.
What is the word on this?
As you can see I don't have Tiger /PDF-X.
Thanks

Not certain if this is quite the same thing, but.......
I have found problems when exporting to pdf, not when I open in Preview but when the person I am emailing the file to opens it in Acrobat, as all drop shadows are then lost, this makes professional printing difficult.
Resolved it for the moment by:
1. exporting to pdf as normal
2. using Graphic Converter which comes bundled with OSX to create a PSD file and sending that electronically. Slight problem was that the size of the file increased from 3mb to about 27mb, so had to download a free copy of Cyberduck ftp programme too. In fact saving it to jpeg was just about as good.
3. you do have to do one page at a time but it works.

Illustrator Save to PDF problems

I have Illustrator CS 14.0.0 and Acrobat Pro 9 (9.1.1 to be specific) extended and I cannot save the pdf format from Illustrator. I try over and over and it just does not work... it just locks up Illustrator forcing me to use the Windows XP task manager to kill Illustrator becuase it is simply frozen and I have no other options. The failure is happening with large and small files of any complexity. I would like to make use of the streamlined workflows in CS4... but his problem is big headache - especially if I would like to include special aspects of Illustrator features in the PDF file. The failure happen with save-as and with the basic save PDF. I was able to open (more or less like an import) the .ai file after saving from within Acrobat and that seems to be a work around for now. Is ther any updates for Acrobat or Illustrator to fix this save as PDF problem inside Illustrator CS4??

I am experiencing exactly the same problem as reported in this thread. I am using AI CS4. When I try to save to PDF the programme freezes making it necessary to use the task manager to kill it. I have been trying to identify the folders where the preferences are held but on this computer running windows xp the folder names do not match those in the thread. Is there a specific file name that I can search for?

Psd - pdf problem

Hello,
I have encountered a problem when viewing pdfs exported from photoshop cs4 using acrobat pro 9. If I open single pdf, it's ok, but whenever I open another pdf, all text is jagged. Then if I close all pdfs and try opening the second one, it's ok again. It looks like acrobat is not able to render texts correctly in newly opened pdf when another pdf is already opened.
This happens only with pdfs exported from photoshop (file->save as->pdf). It does not really matter if the first opened pdf is from photoshop or not, all other opened pdfs from photoshop are crapy.
I tried different settings when saving pdf but the results are always the same - jagged type (it does not even look like aliased, it's completely screwed and unreadable) in second pdf. It is funny because text present as smart object from illustrator renders fine all the time. Therefor I think the problem is between photoshop export and acrobat, vectors are rendered with no problems.
I tried opening on different pc (also with acrobat 9 pro) with the same result. Systems are vista on exporting pc, the second pc is running windows7 beta. However on the third pc with windows XP and adobe reader 9 everything works fine.
Any ideas how to make this work?
regards,
embee

You need to ask the Acrobat folks.
The PDF's out of Photoshop are all pixels -- there's no text for Acrobat to render.
And there's nothing special about PDFs from Photoshop.
So my best guess is that you're looking at an Acrobat bug.

Email id geterates in PDF Problem

Hi,
I have a problem when generating a PDF in dat if i get email id. then in the log its generating
Possible variable substitution ignored. Variable 'gmail' not found. for any email id.
some times the dat is going in to loop that crashing the adobe server. Because the of its generating temp file.
Please help me to solve this solution.
Thanks
Naveen

Print Agent will
recognize @gmail as a variable definition and since it cannot find the variable gmail
it throws an error message.
To use reserved characters as plain text you need to use special variables (page 291 in documentation) and for email addresses that would ean that you replace your @ with @at. like this:

This is true. Adobe Reader 2.5 does not support this. Apparently Adobe Reader 1.5 does, but with 2.5 in firmware, you will be unable to downgrade. The only solution I know is a third party program called PDF+ . See http://www.mbrainsoftware.com/S60_3rd/Pdf/Details.htm#Editions . You would need at least the standard version.
Sorry, can't help with the Inbox question.

Dunning as PDF - Problem with output

Hi experts,
I have a problem with the dunning as email.
Everything works fine here with the dífferent threads (BTE 1040) - but the output is not in PDF-format. When I look at SOST, the attachment ist in *.EXT format...
Does anybody know what's the problem?
Thanks
Michael
Additional information: The file is an .pdf file - when I save it as .pdf, I can open it normally...

Hi,
In transaction SCOT, check the format for Sapscript/Smartforms. Double click on the node for email. e.g .SMTP. In the pop-up window there is a section for supported address types. Beside 'Internet', click on the button SET. In here select PDF as the output format for Sapscript/Smartforms and for ABAP lists.
Also in SCOT, check Setttings -> Device types for Format Conversion, ensure that PDF is the target format.
Regards,
Aidan

Email (pdf) problem

I recently updated to the new iOS 4.2 I'm starting to have problem with PDF files in email. I got one which is displayed only half and I got another email where the pdf does not show at all. The funny thing is when I looked at my Lotus Notes email on my laptop, all PDF files are there and are showing properly.
Any idea?

Sapscript output(Spool) to PDF problem when viewed

We have a number of documents which are output in Russian using the Cyrillic courier font within our Uincode SAP system. They look fine on the spool when viewed, print okay, and all look fine when converted to a PDF file (using RSTXPDFT4) and viewed via Adobe PDF viewer (vers 9.1.20), except one form, the invoice, which will not display properly in Adobe, showing square blocks with crosses through them when viewed. The strange thing is that when this same PDF is viewed via Sumatra (Open source PDF viewer) it looks perfect, but will not display via the Adobe PDF viewer, even though all the other delivery/dispatch docuemnts (all Sapscript) print and view fine via the Adobe PDF viewer.
I guess I could suggest that we just use Sumatra from now on, but that is not really the answer when you have a multinational company which has Adobe already installed on all hardware as default.
Has anyone come across this problem before. I was wondering if there could be anything in Sapscript that might have caused this as this is a copy of SAP standard Russian Invoice Sapscript (J_3RVINVOICE)?
I'm going to check OSS to see if there's a fault with the PDF convertion program (RSTXPDFT4) but I would like to hear from anyone that may have encountered the same problem.
Regards
Gary

Hi Gary
How the issue is resolved, please let me know. Since i am also facing same issue.

Calendar + PDF Problems

Hi, I got my curve 8900 a few weeks ago and it's definately the best phone I have ever had, but I've just hit a bit of a problem. I had all of my calendar appointments sorted out perfectly; College exams and revision sessions, Birthdays, events etc. I have just set up my Email settings and Facebook settings to recieve emails and notifications straight to my phone. This has all gone smoothly, apart from the fact that this seems to have messed up my calendar. All of the appointments are still there, but they have changed colours so that I have default, email and facebook appointments.
This wouldn't really be a problem, but I am using a theme that shows me calendar appointments on the home screen and it only shows calendar events that have been set to email (even though the appointments have nothing to do with my email account, the phone just randomly put the events into the three catagories!)
Also, if i try to make a new event for the calendar, it asks me what I want to send the event using?? What does this mean? If I pick email, does it send the event to my contacts via my email? If I pick facebook, will it post the events on my profile? I would rather just keep my calendar private...
I just wanted to ask if there was a way to turn off all these features and return back to my original calendar, but still be able to have my emails and facebook notifications on my phone?
Also, does any one know any decent free PDF reading software for the blackberry?
Cheers,
Warren.

Have you previewed this way -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
what is the physical size and what are the pixel dimensions of the photo with the low quality warning?

PDF problem in Preview after upgrading to Yosemite in MacBook Pro Late 2011

After upgrading to Yosemite , i have a problem viewing PDF's.
When opening high resolution PDF's e.g. 2588 x 3368, it will display distorted image or distorted characters.
and scrolling normal resolution PDF is very slow.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you very much!

Sounds like Notifications app.
Maybe some other app. In SystemPreferences->Users&Groups->LoginItems tab: remove all entries with the minus sign underneath. This will not uninstall anything, you have to start those apps by hand now. Restart.
Still there?
Yes: Restart again while holding the shift key, this will start the mac in SafeMode: only the necessary items are loaded to run.
Still there?
Yes: Make an etrecheck list and post it here.
No: Restart, put the items in the LoginItems back, one by one, restart after each entry, and you will find the "culprit"
Please report accordingly. I will be back in 24 hours.
