PDFs in Safai

Can I force Safari (Mac) to use Adober Acrobat instead of defaulting to Adobe Reader and requesting approval for every PDF?

I get the same response from the OS. However, if I move my cursor down to the bottom center of the Safari window so the PDF controls show up I can save it with the disk icon on the left.

  • INDD to PDF: web-safe color palette?

    Context: currently, the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder, when used to display a PDF in a browser, heavily downsamples images in the PDF resulting in grisly color changes and posterization. This has been discussed for a long time elsewhere on the web (example) and is something Google might eventually deal with.
    I assume Google's intention was to hack down bandwidth usage, which I don't begrudge them, but the results stand out glaringly in an otherwise vibrant WWW. Embedded fonts work fine, and the only other visual/layout errors can be with some more advanced design effects—unless they are flattened down to Acrobat 5 compatibility.
    With the nasty color changes, what I believe I'm seeing is a re-processing of the images in the PDF with ye olde web-safe color palette. Or maybe its paleolithic predecessor. FYI the source PDF is unaffected. And FYI, yes, I am aware of  many other options for embedding a PDF in a web page; I'd like to try and solve this one.
    My thinking is this: if I can output my InDesign file such that images are converted more gracefully to a web-safe palette, and possibly with more satisfactory color dithering, then the results via the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder might be improved, more predictable, good enough for now.
    I know how to do this with Photoshop, and I assume it's a Photoshop engine working behind the scenes in/for InDesign when processing images, so I'm hoping this is attainable.
    Semi-educated guesses:
    That a suitable color profile could be created and selected when outputting either PDF or PS, resulting in 255-color (indexed) RGB images in the final PDF layout.
    That the long way is to make alternate versions of each image used in the layout, swap them (such as with relink to file extension, e.g. GIF for TIF), and output a version specifically for embedding.
    Thanks in advance for any creative thinking.
    Edit: it's looking like the limit is far fewer colors, possibly 16. Gross. But I'm still curious about the possibility of a method for this, as it could have other applications.

    After getting both your replies, I went back and experimented some more. I am creating a pdf for a b&w book interior, and it is setup as an ID book, with two files. I was trying to generate the pdf from the book.indb file without the individual book indd files being open. That resulted in the screen in my initial question.
    I went back and doubleclicked both of my book indd files and selected both, then generated the pdf from the book.indb file. This time I got the proper choices Document CMYK - U.S. Web Coated ....

    How To Save Artwork In Adobe Illustrator - YouTube

    TGB,
    You say/show Fit to Artboard, but I believe it should be Fit to Artwork.
    When you save with Create PDF Compatible file ticked, you actually have a full PDF included in the file so you can always open it with Acrobat/Reader. It may also be worth mentioning that it is safer to Save a Copy when you want a PDF, better safe than sorry, some have found themselves without the AI file.
    For crispness of vector artwork (and avoidance of lossiness) always choose PNG(24) over JPEG, transparency or no transparency.
    For web and similar use, you should always make sure that the actual pixel x pixel size fits, and that is easier when you use Save for Web. You can use the Art/Type Optimized option (hidden away) in the Image Size window.
    You may (or may not) wish to use the (mostly) dreaded Align to Pixel Grid when creating artwork for web and similar.

  • Firefox 4 crashes when loading pdf and other sites unless I first open it in safe mode and then revert

    So firefox 4 crashes when opening in-browser pdfs and a whole host of other sites, even with no addons running.
    I've found a fix: start in safe mode, then close and open in normal mode. This always solves the problem.
    But '''why?''' What is causing this incredibly annoying problem. I went from happily browsing at high speeds (firefox 3.6) to suddenly finding myself propping my head on my arm, looking at a jammed firefox, trying not to go crazy, for about 2 minutes until it unjams (for pdfs - for the other sites it doesnt unjam) - and the pdf page ends up just black. God forbid I press F5 again lest I want to relive the experience.
    This only happens on my work laptop. It's a top of the line laptop. It connects via a remote VPN. I'm not sure if that's relevant but I'm trying to give as much info as possible.

    1. You have a pre-release Beta 1 version of what will become Firefox 4 in like 5 or 6 months. Unless you are intending to test it for flaws and report those flaws to help in the development process, don't use it.
    2. Did you create a new Profile for 4.0b1, and are you using that Profile with it? ''That isn't done automatically when you install 4.0b1, and those of us who have been doing the "testing" for many years consider a new Profile as the basis of doing out testing.''
    [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+Profiles]
    IMO, Mozilla is making a huge mistake by directly offering these beta versions to the general public.
    Also IMO. if you want to play with 4.0b1, use the Portable Firefox 4.0beta version to minimize any conflicts with a currently installed version of Firefox, and to eliminate the need for creating a new Profile for 4.0 Beta #:
    Download Firefox Portable Test to your hard drive and double click the '''FirefoxPortableTest_4.0_Beta_#_English.paf.exe''' file. The entire installation (including a new Profile for "Portable") will be self-contained in the \Program Files\FirefoxPortableTest\ folder and won't interfere with an "official" version that you already have installed. Your Profile will be in the \Program Files\FirefoxPortableTest\Data\profile\ folder.
    The "down side" is that Firefox Portable won't launch if any other version of Firefox is already running.

    I received a pop up regarding security certificates when opening a PDF document today.  Is it safe to say "yes" to the installation of the security updates?

    If you opened it with Adobe Reader, then yes: "Yes" is safe (I just did the same thing one minute ago).

  • Firefox will show PDF's but prints blank pages. Other browsers are fine, safe mode has no effect.

    Currently on an HP laptop, Win8, printing to a HP Color Laser, no previous problems; all of a sudden, PDF's are printing blank pages. I can see the page fine. Safe mode without any addons has no change. I printed my taxes out and had no problems.
    I've used IE (shudder) an been able to print PDF's fine. I have no PDF software itself on the computer, just using the browsers native support. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. Searching shows problems loading PDF's, but my problem is printing PDF's. Using version 29 of Firefox. Anyone got any tips or clues how to hunt this down? Really close to introducing my computer to Mr. sledgehammer.

    Thanks, appreciate the links for PDF driver add ons, this will be my last resort if nobody else can figure it out. I don't use Acrobat because of all their bloatware and hidden installs. I still would like to know why Firefox started printing blank pages in PDF's, but can still open the PDF's, very frustrating. Seems like a few other people are having the issue as well.

  • [CS4-CS5] Is this a safe way to reduce pdf size?

    I've had a couple of similar requests this week from clients: "Could you send us a smaller version of the pdf, so we can email it?" As these files weren't going to the printers, I played around a bit in Indesign and Acroba to find a solution. I know about reducing image resolution, but as these jobs had almost no bitmaps in them, so that wasn't an option.
    I did notice that the pdf document overhead numbers were ridiculously high, up to 80% in one case. I tried various things, but the most effective way to educe this was by saving the pdf as a postscript file and then distilling a new pdf from it. It worked like a charm, but I'm left wondering what caused the high overhead numbers in the first place, and what happens 'under the hood' in that postscript round-trip.
    Also, is this at all safe to do? I didn't notice anything out of place in the new file - it certified ok as well, but is this something to avoid or not?
    Thanks for any light on this issue.

    If you have a modern Acrobat, you could also check with Advanced -> Print Production -> PDF Optimizer; then, in the dialog that pops up select the "Audit Space usage" button. For a fair comparison you would have to do this with your original exported PDF and with the distilled version -- and note the numbers down or take a screen shot, because Adobe didn't think you'd want to select this as text ...
    Are you saying you would feel safe sending such a reduced file to press?
    Ha hum. Your new files got way smaller, beyond a fairly reasonable amount. Are you sure you didn't downsample any and all bitmaps to screen rez?
    You are right, given these differences I'd send the larger file to print. But I imagine your client is going to be impressed by your compression technique.

  • Text displays on sites like Google Spreadsheets, as well as all PDF documents is transparent, even in Safe mode.

    Recently I have noticed a very strange phenomenon in Firefox. I first noticed it in Google Spreadsheets; text does not display in the cells, but does if I bring a specific cell up for editing. I thought this limited to the new Google Spreadsheets, since the old Google Spreadsheets still function normally. It's just the new ones exhibiting this behavior.
    However, I quickly noticed that PDF files opened in Firefox exhibit the same behavior. The text is not white; it is totally transparent, like it's not being rendered at all.
    HOWEVER, if Firefox is not in focus, AND some text is selected, the text renders in the selection. Shown: http://imgur.com/bWWLvLr
    Windows cleartype does not seem to affect this, nor does it seem to be any of my addons; even in safe mode the problem persists.
    This problem is not present in Windows Internet Explorer, so it doesn't seem to be my system.
    I'd appreciate fixing this problem, as I make frequent use of Google docs.

    No, I have not. Firefox text & font options are default. Driver-wise, yes, this is up to date. I should note that in the case of Google Spreadsheets, the text appears briefly before disappearing.
    This would have led me to believe it was one of my addons, but the safe mode test dismissed that idea.

  • Is Outside In's PDF Export library's function EXOpenExport thread-safe?

    I'm writing a C++ wrapper, for Node.js, around the Outside In PDF Export library, on Ubuntu Linux. Node.js has a single threaded event loop and therefor any long-running processing is done on a worker thread. So, my wrapper is calling all of the PDF Export methods inside of this worker thread. I mention this so that you can be sure of two things: this is a threaded environment, and all PDF Export functions are being called on the same worker thread. Also, I am not making use of any redirected IO or PDF Export-handled threading. I've initialized the library specifying to use no threads. So all of this processing should be occuring within the thread that I call the functions on.
    Everything seems to go fine when exporting a single PDF or even maybe two or three in quick succession. When I up the number of PDFs that I try to export to 5+, I receive a SIGSEGV segementation fault from within the OIT libs. The back trace is below:
    Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

    I'll explain the back trace a little. The function on #11 is the function inside my code. That is the function in which I call all of the OIT lib functions. The functions on lines #12 and higher are the Node.js-related threading functions, setting up the thread to run my code's function. Functions on lines #10 down to #1 are all the OIT-called functions.
    In the documentation for PDF Export, it says that if you're going to be using this library inside a threaded environment, then you need to call the init and deinit functions each time within the worker thread. I'm doing this in my code, which you can see here: https://github.com/ryancole/topdf/blob/master/src/topdf.cc#L29-L74
    Is there anything else that I need to be setting that would cause this? I'm only specifying the font directory, explicitly. Are these libraries actually thread-safe? It doesn't look like they are.

    Well, upon receiving a second opinion on the meaning of the phrasing in the documentation, I have got the library working in a threaded environment now. The first parameter to DEInitEx was supposed to specify to enable PTHREAD support, which I did not have. I thought that it meant something other than it actually does.

    when I am in word and safe as word doc. it automaticaly saves as pdf??

    Hey Ted Doan,
    The default program for word must have been Adobe Acrobat which us why the file saves as PDF.
    Please right-click on your word document icon and select 'Open with> Choose default program'.
    Then, a new dialog box appears from where you need to choose 'Word' and click OK.
    Now check and then let me know if its fine now.
