PDF text does not display properly

My coworkers made a PDF (using Acrobat Pro and MS Office on Windows) that displays properly in Windows, Mac, Android, and iPad (iOS 6). However, on two different iPhones (v3 with iOS 3, v4 with iOS 5) the PDF displays with no text and only black gradient rectangles where the first line of each paragraph should be. The backgrounds & graphics look normal.
Inspection in HexEdit and Acrobat Pro show it's in PDF 1.5 format, all fonts are embedded subset.
Any suggestions?

According to here, here, here (iPhones specification pages) and here (an article from NYTimes) iPhone can read .pdf files with any iOS version.
But in your case... Sorry, I don't know more than it... I have different kinds of PDFs on my devices (iPhone and iPod Touch) but I never saw something like it...

  • Lion text problem: Some text does not display properly in Safari and Firefox

    Hello
    Some text in Safari and Firefox is seriously degraded, making it useless. I changed to Firefox because Safari was displaying wrongly, but Firefox displays the same way, so it seems to be an OS problem. See image as an example:
    I cannot see subtitles on BBC streamed movies, and the timing of the movies on the bottom ribbon do not display correctly.
    I am using Lion 10.7.5
    Is there a solution for this problem?
    Thanks for any help.

    Unbelievable (and I still cannot believe that) - is wmode="transparent/opaque/etc" - not supported by safari ? then how do you suggest we go about transparent flash elements on web pages? why isn't it working on safari while on every other browser on earth it does?

  • Hi my web hosting company irunsolutions.co.uk have informed me that my website does not display properly in firefox when run on a windows 7 32 bit platform.

    website is www.empireembroidery.co.uk
    does not display properly when viewed on 32bit windows 7 platform in firefox.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Text does not display in address bar or any windows I open

    Text does not display when typing in address bar. When I open a window (eg Edit > Preferences) no text is displayed within that either.
    Problem has persisted through Ubuntu 12.04 (possibly 11.10) to 13.04. Has also remained after re-installs, both through use of Software Centre, and through Terminal commands, and after running purge of all firefox content.
    Running Firefox as root using gksu command also doesnt help.

    Have finally solved,
    1st checked default system fonts available using unity-tweak
    Then went to ~.mozilla/firefox and found prefs.js file, deleted everything to do with fonts and families, saved and restarted.
    The odd thing is how this file persisted despite removing and purging firefox.

  • Page does not display properly in 3.0.4

    If someone from apple reads these postings, the following page does not display properly in Safari 3.0.4 with mac os leopard.
    I can not find an email to email directly to you.

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Best way to reach Apple is to send a Bug Report via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple. While Apple doesn't respond directly to these notes, the information gets in the hands of Software Engineers at Cupertino.
    Specific to the referenced site, there are multiple code errors, which would contribute to the rendering problem. Safari is a lot more specific about following correct code than other browsers. I suggest passing the Validation report on to the site developers. Good code practices (W3) makes for better uniformity and security on the Internet.

  • Edited pdf does not display properly

    I scanned in doc to a .pdf. It displayed properly on iPad (iBooks). I added some text using preview. It did not display when reading it to iBooks. Thinking it was a layering issue, I "Flattened" the file with Adobe Acrobat Pro, and freaked it to iBooks. Still does not display the added text. Added text is displayed by Adobe Reader for iPad. How do I get the iBooks program to properly read an edited .PDF? Is it really necessary to print and rescan the .PDF each time? Can I add the text in IBooks?

    Stick with Adobe Reader. iBooks will not and cannot display form fields or edited text in a PDF as you have learned. You cannot add text in iBooks either. You can't change that. The built in mail app is also incapable of displaying edited PDF files. Adobe Reader is much more robust and feature rich than iBooks, which I'm sure you have already seen for yourself.
    iBooks pales in comparison as a useful PDF tool. i think that you will be much better off using Adobe Reader.

  • Importing PDF to illustrator. Text does not display.

    I am using Illustrator CS6 on windows 7. I created a document on Illustrator CS4 on mac osx and exported the file to a pdf. Now when I want to edit the pdf in illustrator the images and drawings display correctly, but only certain text is shown. Not any text in particular, but just random lines of text within paragraphs. The rest of the text does not show up at all. What could be the issue?

    Why not open the AI file?
    In any case, as Monika points out, the PDF really needs to eb created with the AI editing capability turned on. That way, AI is opening the AI data contained in the PDF, not the PDF data.
    Take care, Mike
    ***Oops, cross-post. I see you did preserve the AI data now.***

  • Microsoft owa site does not display properly. was working just fine and then stopped displaying correctly today.

  • Bold text does not display in internet browsers

    I am working on editing a website for a client that I did not originally create so I am having trouble trying to figure out what the previous designer did.
    I need to make certain text within paragraphs bold, which I normally do by inserting <b> </b> tags. However when I do this in my coding, it does not display as bold in any of my internet browsers ... IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc.
    Can someone please help me with this or suggest what I may have to change in my coding?
    Thanks,

    The reason it is happening is because the <strong> element is the child of an <em>, the <em> is in turn the child of a <p> tag and all of them are set to inherit the font attributes from thier parent tags. The first parent in the chain with a font setting is the <div> tag with the "left_column" class.
    The "left_column" class tells all of those child tags to set their text as 14px, black, Arial due to the font:inherit.
    The reset is meant to allow you to create css styles for all future tags without any default style being applied by the browser (as Rik suggests, creating the actual " strong {font-weight:bold;}" in your css would also do the trick). Since you don't specify any attributes for those tags other than "inherit your font styling from your parent", they take their attributes from the first parent element with an attribute.

  • Pictures and texts are not displayed properly

    Hello Apple users,
    I've the 15 inch Macbook Pro with retina display, running Mountain Lion. I have noticed that when I chat with my friends in Facebook, the texts in the chat window are not displayed properly. This also happens when flipping through photos that were uploaded in Facebook. Also, pictures are not displayed properly in other websites. For example, today I was reading the news in the Guardian when I noticed that the top bar and a picture weren't displayed properly. The top bar should have showed News, Sports, Comment, Culture, Pensions, etc. all in the same line. Also look at the photo titiled "Should building socities do buy-to-let?" I took a screenshot from the guardian and you can see the photo here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByQ7VP0wjFM-U0ZIOXlwMm13Vnc/edit?usp=sharing
    Do you guys have any suggestions how can I fix these issues?
    Thanks for reading and your help

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

  • AddThis plug-in does not display properly.

    AddThis plug-in adds "Share page" to the Safari toolbar, but does not display icons for any sharing option (Facebook, Twitter, EMail, etc.). Therefore, I can't click on anything to share the web page I am reading. Any idea why this area is left blank?

    OK, have managed to resolve this. The plugs ins are all registered in the registry, but no version is assigned.
    Adding the version number (in my case 12.1.0.883) to each of the plug ins has solved my issue.
    Under Regedit

    I do think this is a compatibility issue between install for CRS & SAP Business One, as we don't get the issue where SAP Business One is not installed.

  • Using openModal, does not display properly on first instance.

    After having a good play with openModal, as per package app Bug Tracker p31, I came across an issue this morning after logging into the runtime app.
    In a fresh apex session, the first open only greyed the canvas, didn't display the modal. I can click anywhere to hide the modal behaviour - but the modal will only work properly and display the canvas with "Modal region" template after refreshing the page. Repeatable after logout.
    This does not happen in the bugtracker application.
    The issue appears in Firefox, Chrome and IE8 - but no console errors are present.
    Application Express 4.2.1.00.08, theme 25
    I'll see if I can replicate it on apex.oracle.com

    The blog in question was newly created with all it's "How to" posts having been created within the past 24 hours. This member has then made numerous posts on the forums, in quick succession, many of which are to non-current threads, and all of which are not providing any answer, except to simply direct people to 1 or more of the posts on his new blog. Whether he's creating the posts on his blog in answer to the questions being asked on the forum or has already created the blog posts and is searching out questions that relate to them is not known. What is known is that this breaches the Terms of Use, as the forum is clearly being used as a mechanism to simply direct people to his own blog rather than it's intended use, and also the forum admin have indicated to the moderating team that linking to blogs in this way is not acceptable.
    I hope that answers your question.

  • Here's a page that does not display properly...

    It seems that the Webkit based browsers do not display pages like the following properly:
    http://www.motogp.com/en/motogp/motogp_riders.htm?menu=riders
    In this example, both Safari v3.1 (5525.13) and OmniWeb 5.7-v621 have issues.
    Safari seems not to have any crashing problems here.
    Is this the appropriate place to report this?
    Message was edited by: OptionTrader

    Hi
    Code errors on the referenced link create the problem, not the browser. Safari strictly follows latest code promulgated by the Web Standards Project. Hence, the rendering errors.
    If you want to bring this issue to the attention of Apple, use the "report bugs to Apple" option in the Safari Menu.
