PDF thumbnails missing after optimization?

Hello. I have quite an urgent question. My business is sending out a PDF deck tomorrow and I am currently creating our PDF using 'Combine files into PDF' method in Acrobat Pro on Mac - default size compression.
When I finish creating the PDF (not optimized), all the pages are present. However, for the sake of sending the PDF in emails, I need to either Save As an Optimized PDF or Save As a Reduced Size PDF. I will be sending an Optimized PDF, but in both cases, as soon as Acrobat finishes creating the smaller PDF, I have page thumbnails missing/blank in the same places every time (pages 1, 5 and 33).
I have attached screenshots to this thread as an example. It's very odd, because the majority of people I've tested the PDF with say they have no issues with blank pages and that all pages appear fine in the PDF - both when viewing on computer and mobile devices, iPads etc. For me personally, the only issue with blank pages is when opening the PDF in 'View' mode - if I download the complete file there are no pages missing.
I was wondering if anyone can help me resolve this issue - I just don't want to risk sending this out to clients and some being unable unable to view certain pages in the PDF!!

After migrating, the iPhoto library appeared in the Library window in my left task pane of Aperture. I believe that the masters for the photos from iPhoto remained in iPhoto.
When I did the migration from my Time Capsule I pulled in my iPhoto Library and Aperture Library into my Pictures folder. Then I launched Aperture and everything looked great, except the thumbnails. The folder / project structure remained and both libraries were there. The pictures are actually there too. If I work on a single photo, the photo appears, but the thumbnails don't when viewing at a higher level such as a folder, project or all Photos.

PDF Thumbnails disapear after installed CS3 on XP-Vista

here is the problem, we have adobe reader on all our computer in the company, we are a printing company so PDF is the file of choice in our workflow. we have CS-CS3 installed on XP,Vista and 2003(automation server)
Everyone who has only Reader installed can see thumbnails in explorer XP and Vista of the PDF.
Problem is in the Prepress dept where CS3 is installed, As soon as CS3 gets installed on XP or Vista the Thumbnails stop working. (never worked on the mac osX but not an issue 3rd party software fixed that)
Why? if they worked before CS3 when only reader was installed..
Did Adobe disable PDF thumbnails as soon as you install the Creative Suite. Is this an Issue with just my company? lol
This is really a user complaint I have to deal with every day from employees in Prepress. "Why Can't I see a preview of the file in explorer before I open them"
I hear that it was because Psicon.dll and aiicon.dll were taken out due to problems... but why does it work with only reader installed which doesn't use those?
any ideas? I think If I keep hearing them complain I'll make em all use Scribus and inkscape for a week. hehe.

The thumbnails on my vista system are also not showing properly. It is very strange because I do have a SINGLE sole thumbnail of a pdf file displaying properly but the rest of my pdf files are all generic red acrobat icon. I am determined to get to the bottom of this as I have tons of ebooks and pdf files that I need to view in thumbnail format.
The roxio forum were also talking about loosing thumbnails in vista's explorer. The techs there claim its a vista problem and will wait till MS addresses the issues. However, I am not completely convinced.
The fact that we seen it work partially with some systems and the fact that I can generate a single thumbnail tells me there is more to it than meets the eye.
I suspect a registry tweak will solve all the problems.
Here's what I found so far.
On my XP system the thumbs works perfectly.
In the taskmanager I noticed that there is an auxiliary component
to acrobat that runs along side with the main executable;
"AcroRd32Info.exe" this file is what causes explorer to generate the thumbnails and is triggered only when the mouse hovers over an acrobat file.
With Vista Biz, I noticed that in taskmanager the AcroRd32Info.exe is missing. When I attempt to manually run this file, it fails to run with no error message. So my next guess is that some service might be blocking the exe from running or got disable during some tweaking.
I have another system that is identical to mine and brand new. I will test further. If someone can verify if AcroRd32Info.exe runs in there vista taskmanager and see the thumbnails appears or not that would be great.
Thanks

Faces thumbnails missing after recovery from time machine

I got a new harddisk in my iMac via Apple's harddisk replacement program. I recovered all my data via a Time Machine backup (from a Time Capsule). All seemed fine after recovery of backup. When firing up iPhoto after the recovery iPhoto asks for updating all the thumbnails (don't know why). After a while everything seems fine - all photos are available with thumbnails in the events view. However all Faces thumbnails are missing - all persons in the faces view are black boxes. I can see that all the faces tagging are intact - when clicking a person I can see all the tagged images as black boxes. When switching the little "Faces - Photos" control to "Photos" I can see the photos containing all the tagged persons all right. I seems like it's only the face thumbnails that are missing.
So far I have tried the following without succes:
Repaired the iPhoto database with iPhotos own tool (holding Command and Option down when starting iPhoto)
Updating the entire library from an earlier backup
Updated the faces database files from an earlier backup as explained in this post
I'm out of good ideas now - can anyone help?

Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

RAW thumbnails missing after iPhoto library rebuild

iPhoto would not open for me shortly after upgrading to Lion. I rebuilt the library using command + option with all checkboxes checked. All JPEG thumbnails were present, but all RAW thumbnails just showed a black box with a dashed line. When I double click the missing thumbnail, the image does appear in iPhoto.
I then rebuilt the library a second time, but the problem is the same. The iPhoto library is in the normal place on the startup drive.
RAW photos were generated with a Canon Digital Rebel and Canon 40D cameras. I do have Aperture on the system as well.

As I say, I've seen it take 4 times to work.
Other than that:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Events and project thumbnails missing after moving to new computer

I just helped a friend to move to a new Mac. I have copied all her personal data to her new computer, so iMovie Events and Projects are present in her new Movie folder. However, after opening iMovie '08, all events and project thumbnails are missing. How could this be? Is there perhaps some library file that keeps track of all this that I need to copy as well? Is there a way to re-link iMovie with the events folder?

Try this:
First, make sure you've quit out of iMovie. Then go to your Movies Folder > iMovie Events > and then into the folder of the even that's giving you trouble. Drag the folder "iMovie Thumbnails" to your trash. Then open the folder "iMovie Cache" and drag the file "Cache.plist" to the trash. Restart iMovie. It should rebuild the thumbnails, and by regenerating the .plist file, it should have the data it needs to reed the new thumbnails into iMovie.
It worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you too.

Windows 7 PDF Thumbnails Missing

Quicktime Thumbnail missing after publishing

I'm using iWeb '09 3.0.1. to build my website. I've got lots of quicktime videos. I used the Inspector to select a thumbnail for my Quicktime clips, but after publishing the clips just start in black. I've had this problem since I first built the site last year. I thought with the latest version of iWeb it would be resolved. No go. I'm having other issues like most of the videos not publishing, but I'm going to try a clean publish later tonight after I delete all the current files and folders from the host site. In the meantime, any suggestions on the thumbnails?
Thanks,
Erik

Erik:
As Roddy pointed out others have had problems with the poster frame feature in the Inspector/Quicktime pane. What's the URL of your site so we can see first hand what you're referring to.
There are alternative methods of adding a QT file to a page that might work for you. See this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This demo page has 8 videos on it using that method: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.

Pdf presets missing after uninstall of Creative Suite 5 trial

I recently uninstalled the trial version of Creative Suite 5 because I was sick of CS 5 trying to launch after the 30 day trial when I opened a file from the finder instead of directly from CS4. Now, whenever I go to "Save as a pdf", none of the preset PDF options are available. What gives? Will I have to bite the bullet and purchase CS5?

Try to re-install Acrobat from you CS4 disks.

Is your PDF icon missing after 9.1.0 update

My desktop icon for Acrobat Pro 9 turned into a generic icon after the latest update. Even reconnecting the PDF extension with the application didn't work. After searching a long time for help, I found it in this forum. (CT wrote about his Acrobat 8 version and the same problem resulting from an update. He gave the solution he used that worked for him.) I have the same OS and decided to give this solution a try. It worked for me, too! His answer may benefit others after this latest update for Acrobat 9.
"What I did was opened up one of my pdf files, selected "Help" from the top menu bar, and from the pull-down menu I clicked on "Repair Acrobat Installation.After it 'did its thing' I was prompted to restart the PC (which I did) and when it finished booting up, ALL the pdf icons were restored. I have Windows XP and Acrobat 8 Professional (which I purchased) and Adobe Reader - which came with the PC.I am pretty sure that the 'Repair Installation' option is available in both."

I was having the same problem with PDF files.
I tried all the suggestions.
Nothing worked correct in my case.
Finally I found a hint somewhere on internet and that solved my problem.
I opened the Diplay properties and changed the ICON SIZE (for all files) to LARGE.
Click APPLY
The PDF Icon was restored.
Again I set back the ICON SIZE to previous size (SMALL)
PDF Icon was not affected (It remained correct)
This information is for all the friends suffering like me.
O Yes. Have you installed "TweakUI (PowerToy)".
I think the PDF Icon disappeared somehow because of it.
But I am not sure.

Hello All,
I just figured this out--
I installed updates in the Help tab, and the files required, including pdf printer were installed.
Works!
I realize that this is a gen behind in software but I am running legacy large format printers and the newest is not the best in this application.
Hope this helps....

PDF printing Missing installed prnters

We're starting to see an issue where a machine will have several printers installed people can print to any of then from word, excel, Chrome etc but for PDF's only one or sometime none show up in the drop down for the list of printers. We're using adobe
reader but I've installed Foxit on one I'm testing and it doesn't show any printers installed either. Its not all users. I can;t find a reason PDF docs by whatever viewer wouldn't see the installed Printers

My MacBook pro mid 2012 doesn't seem to have a "save as" function, so I can't seem to save multiple page pdf's together after moving thumbnails into the sidebar. It only saves the first page. I can't figure out the rename function either. Help?

I do have a 2008 version of Microsoft Office installed to save money, but that shouldn't affect things. I can't figure out the "rename" function either. Help?

Oh, and I also reset my NVRAM, my computer hasn't frozen again yet, so I'm not sure if it has made a difference.

Vista x64 SP1 PDF Thumbnail Previews Missing

I recently loaded Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 on my PC. After installing Adobe Reader 8.1.1, I don't see the thumbnail previews for PDFs in Windows Explorer - only the Adobe icons. How can I get the thumbnail previews?

Since you people are no help, I will log my own attempts to resolve this issue, in case I need to do it again in the future.
I use Foxit Reader for PDF viewing, because it's much better. I installed Adobe Reader 8.1.1 to get my PDF thumbnails in Windows Explorer back. I also have Photoshop CS4 installed. Here are my steps so far:
1. Ensure that my folders are in "Large Icons" view, make sure "Always show icons..." option is disabled.
2. Uninstall Foxit Reader & Adobe Reader.
3. Remove Adobe Reader & PDF file type entries from registry.
4. Ran Unassoc to remove the PDF file type from Windows.
5. Ran Disk Cleanup to remove Thumbnail files.
6. Installed Adobe Reader 8.1.2.
* At this point, I effectively had a clean install of Adobe Reader. However, my PDF file thumbnails still show up as the stupid Adobe icon.
7. Ran xplorer2 32-bit in Thumbnail view. My PDF thumbnails show up both in the file explorer view and in the preview pane (Draft and Native).
8. Ran Adobe Bridge CS4. PDF thumbnails show up there, too. So, at least I now have 2 effective workarounds to Adobe Reader's ridiculous shortcoming.
9. Ran the 32-bit Windows Explorer. No problem with PDF thumbnails. Hot damn!
10. Closed 32-bit Windows Explorer. Opened regular Windows Explorer and browsed to the same directory. PDF thumbnails still working.
11. Browsed to another folder with Windows Explorer. No PDF thumbnails.
12. Reinstalled Foxit Reader 3.0 so I don't have to suffer through actually using Adobe Reader. Made sure not to set it as the default PDF reader.
13. Verified thumbnails in 32-bit Explorer still work. They do. *******.
There you have it. 3 separate workarounds. Maybe Adobe will fix this problem in their next release. Maybe they'll also create a PDF reader that isn't 100mb. Don't hold your breath. Thank me and follow my instructions instead.

After Updating iBook on my ipad , Some PDF files missed . how should restore them

After Updating iBook on my ipad , Some PDF files missed . how should restore them?

Your posted question is the key to your answer - sync them back to the iPad. You can still connect the iPad to your PC, launch iTunes, select your iPad name from the left side under devices - then go to the apps tab in iTunes and select all of the apps to sync again.
Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is selected as well. If you make changes to the app configuration, click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.
