PDFs display correctly in Acrobat Pro, but not in Reader?

I receive files from printers for UV coating their jobs at our facility. On rare occasions the PDFs I receive display one way in Reader, and another way in Acrobat. Text that is missing--or showing up as faint outlines in Reader--displays correctly in Acrobat Pro. Then, when I go to RIP the file (and it is a PDF workflow), the text is missing there as well. We end up having to pay a service bureau to output a film positive, so it's a bit frustrating. I suspect it has something to do with transparency. I would appreciate any ideas from veteran prepress folks out there.

Change your preferences Edit > Preferences > Page Display Use Overprint Preview to Always.
These sound like Spot UV plates/colors and would be designed with Overprinting
Are you also looking at the Seperations/Output Preview? (Advanced > Print Production > Output Preview Simulate Overprint can also be toggled there.)

Javascript works in Acrobat Pro but not in Reader

Hello,
I have created a form in Acrobat Pro that works fine in Pro and seems to work in reader. However, when I open it on the site and it loads up in the browser window the form then messes up when it gets to any one of these 2 scripts:
1.
var a=this.getField("Parking Passes")
if (a.value>=1)
{event.value=1}
else
{event.value="0"}
2.
var a=this.getField("Additional Passes")
if (a.value>8)
{event.value= (a.value-8)*25}
else {event.value="0"}
After one of these scripts is processed then the field for script 2. (a total of this script) is summed with other fields and the total field goes to only the amount of the script 2. field. What can I do to fix this. It seems to work outside of the browser when I open it in reader or acrobat pro but never in the browser window?
Thank you!
Joe

I was just asking where those scripts are located.
You can configure Chrome to use Reader instead of its built-in viewer: http://blogs.adobe.com/vikrant/2010/12/use-adobe-plugins-to-view-pdfs-inside-google-chrome /

Standard text displayed correctly in print preview but not in print

Hi,
I have a script in which a standard text has to be printed in the output.
The standard text contains some german characters.
These characters are displayed correctly in print preview but not in print.
The text is maintained in 3 languages DE,EN and Russian.
The same text is being printed in some standard report. But that is displayed correctly both in print and print preview.
Please suggest something.
Regards,
Richa Aggarwal

Hi Richa,
Check this document from SAP: [help doc|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0652a95-5f0b-2a10-5aba-c085f8bbe6d6?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]
It indicates that you have to be sure to select "Unicode" fonts for your SAPScript form to ensure the proper printing of "Unicode" characters. If a character does not display then that means it does not exist in the font that you are using.

Thunderbolt Display works with MacBook Pro but not iMac. Huh?

I have a Thunderbolt Display, which I normally keep connected as an "extended desktop" to my MacBook Pro -- no problem.
Starting today, I'm using a borrowed iMac and I had hoped to switch my Thunderbolt Display over and do the same arrangement: "extended desktop." However, the display does not come on when I power up the iMac, and clicking the "detect displays" button in the Displays Preferences window does not help.
This iMac was previously set up with an a different Thunderbolt Display in its original home, and seemed to work fine. I saw it with my own eyes. My own Thunderbolt Display still works fine when connected to my MacBookPro. It's only the combination of my monitor to the borrowed iMac that doesn't work.
Both the MacBook Pro and the iMac are running OS X Version 10.7.3. The MacBook has an AMD Radeon HD 6770M card, and the iMac is using an ATI Radeon HD 5750.
Ideas?

Both the mini-displayport plugs and TB plugs are physically compatible which is why you can plug it in. But if the iMac has a mini-displayport for video it won't work with the TB display.
Check your System Profile to see if it tells you whether you have a TB port. And if there is no information about that post here or look up for yourself the kind of ports for that model of iMac. System Profiler will give yo that information (click Hardware on the left). From the model information it can be definitively determined whether that imac supports TB.
Also, so long as the Displays system preferences is not showing an Arrangement tab then it is not detecting the second display.

Please Help!! Links to other PDF documents in my PDF document open in Adobe Acrobat Professional but NOT Adobe Reader XI

Hi everyone,
I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I work for a software company and we have a release coming up. Every release requires me to create a 'menu' which is what users see when they insert the release CD. I create this menu in Adobe Acrobat Professional, and add links to all the PDF manuals we have for our products. When I open the Menu in Acrobat Professional, all links open fine. When just attempting to open the links using the default Adobe Reader (which i'm guessing most of our customers will use), nothing happens, not even an error is generated. I'm ensuring I link to the documents that reside in the same folder on my directory as the menu. Is this something to do with relative/absolute links? Something to do with Reader XI, as I don't remember having this problem for our last release? Foxit also seems to work in opening the links.
Thanks

I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.
Thanks

Comments are missing in Acrobat Pro, but show in Reader

I've created several PDF files with Enabled Usage Rights In Reader. The files have several comments and Stamps added to focus attention.
If I view the files in Acrobat Professional version 8, the comments and Stamps are gone, no trace of them. If I view the files, however, in Adobe Reader, I see them.
What's going on? Is this a bug or do I need to do something to the files or Acrobat settings?

Never mind, the problem went away after I relaunched Acrobat.

Submit button missing from form, can see it in Pro but not in Reader XI

I've created and disributed forms in the past with no problem, however, when I open up my form in Reader XI, the submit button is missing. In the purple ribbon, it instructs people to click the submit button once the form is complete but there is no button showing. Help!

What does this command say:
ls -ldaeO@ Documents
If it has 'hidden' attached to it, then look at the "man chflags" command.
chflags nohidden Documents

.pdf works in Acrobat Pro 8 but not Adobe Reader 8

I have a dynamic .pdf that I created in Livecycle Designer.
It works perfectly in Acrobat Pro 8 but not Adobe Reader 8.
There is a function that highlights a form field orange. It is called from the enter event of every form field.
There is another function that highlights a form field red if the field contains an invalid value. This is called from the exit event of every form field.
When I enter a field in Reader 8, it highlights orange as it should but does not allow me to enter a value and it adds an additional blank page to the .pdf. Also, it does not highlight red as it should on exit.
If I remove the enter script, the exit script works fine.
I sent the .pdf to somebody to test and it worked perfectly for him in Reader 8.00 but not for me in 8.00 or 8.01 which makes me think maybe it is just a problem with my settings.
Can anybody help?
Thank you.

Okay, I just upgraded to Acrobat Pro 8.1 and the .pdf fails there now too.
So my problem is not an inconsistency between Acrobat and Reader, it is that the .pdf works in the earlier 8.0 but not the latest 8.1.
I am happy to send the .pdf to anybody who wants to see it. Hopefully the problem is with my code and not the update.
Thanks.

Document Language not exported into PDF when viewed in Acrobat Pro 9?

I've been working on making our PDFs accessible, but it looks like the LiveCycle-generated forms are causing some issues. While I can set the Form Locale in LiveCycle ES (8.2.1), generating a PDF from this and viewing it in Acrobat Pro 9 leaves the Reading Language field greyed out. I'm new to LiveCycle, so it might be something simple (but I've tried Googling everything).
I've tried saving it as both a Static PDF and Dynamic XML PDF form without luck. The Generate Accessibility Information Save Option is checked. I am doing a Save As rather than in-app generation (I understand this can be the cause of some issues).
Help!?

Unfortunately, as I mentioned in my original post, I've already tried toggling smoothing options. They don't make the jagged edges go away—they just change them slightly. In some cases, as with the sample file provided, it does help smooth the art out, but it never looks as good as it did going in, in a recent project, toggling smoothing options didn't affect the appearance of the image at all. Zoom does not appear to relieve the artifacting.
A little clarification: this PDF was created from a flat PNG, but I have had this issue with PNGs and TIFFs as well, generated by both Photoshop and Illustrator. To reiterate, the PDFs display fine in other software—Finder preview looks great, and the same file viewed in my browser via Google Drive looks as intended as well. A colleague was able to replicate this issue in Acrobat on his Windows machine. This appears to be a rendering issue specific to Acrobat with regards to the files I use it to create.

I have acrobat pro but I can't open pdf files now.

I have acrobat pro But since a few days ago I can't open any pdf file anymore.If I try with reader I do,but not with acrobat pro.
I need help please.

Do two steps and then retry. Open Acrobat and then
1. Help>Repair
2. Help>Updates
Since it had been working, I assume there was no change in OS or Acrobat.

My Acrobat Pro will not open my PDF Files any suggestions?

My acrobat pro does not open, anyone else out there with the same problem?

Sherbear2359 (I believe that the US has the right to arm bears so I will be very nice.)
My Adobe Acrobat stopped opening pdfs. Now in the past it was Windows 8.1 playing tricks by thinking that the Adobe software was a trial which expired
Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite Tried it and it worked.
Tried the fix again now no change.
I suspect that a Microsoft patch stuffed it up. They have had a few problems.
I used Reader with open with but I want pdf to be opened by Adobe.
Thanks

Acrobat Pro V7 not opening pdfs

Acrobat Pro V7 not opening pdfs - just started happening. are there some preferances that can be trashed etc? don't tell me this will require a full reload?

ok I tried that but still get;
"a required component was not found. PLease restore the Adobe Acrobate folder from your original CD."
Thing is, I recently moved and cannot find the Adobe CD.
AppleJack seems like a neat little application. Can it also check for duplicate files? I DL'ed a Dup Finder program once but it seems tooo convoluted to use. I couldent tell which were nesssesary files and which were simply taking up space.

Hey christopherc53009480,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat you have purchased.
Also, please share the screenshot of the message that pops on your screen as I need to analyze the exact issue.
Hope to hear from you.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the link to download Acrobat 9 Standard? I found the link to download 9 Pro but not standard. Old computer crashed and new computer does not have a CDR/DVD rom drive.

Hi,
Standard or Pro would be licensed through your serial number, the download link and downloaded file would be the same for both of them.
Pro or Standard would be determined after you put in your serial number.
