PDFs with hidden text readable in reader, but not acrobat?
For some reason, when I scan documents into adobe acrobat the entire document is unreadable -- its all hidden text. However, when I open the same scanned document in adobe reader the text is perfectly readable. I have been receiving numerous pdfs from colleagues which have the same problem - i open them in acrobat, the text is hidden and unreadable, in reader its fine. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I've been able to play with the scanner settings and have managed to create pdfs without hidden text from the scanner. The true problem is that I have to print many of the PDFs i recieve -- many of them are quite large. When printing from reader, it takes at least 5 minutes per page. Any help/suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks

(I'm using the latest version of Acrobat, 9)
It would help to look at a sample. Can you post one?
Also, check the "Show Large Images" Page Display preference.

Korean Language Support Package required for Reader but not Acrobat?
One of our departments on campus has created a form that is causing some users to get a message prompting them to download the Korean Language Support Package in order to fill in the form fields.
When I originally tested this in Acrobat Pro 9 I didn't get any errors. Another user also reported the issue recently (two this week). So we tested it again, but this time used both Reader 9 and Reader X -- both programs were generating this message to download the language pack. The form appears to be completely in English with no Korean characters. It uses fairly standard fonts and I didn't see any embedding or encoding issues with the fonts.
Aside from having end users download a Korean Language Support Pack to view a PDF that doesn't seem to contain any Korean, are there any other options out there without recreating the form from scratch? Here is a list of the fonts used in the PDF. The only types of encoding are Ansi and Identity-H (which I expanded in the SS above), with the latter fonts being embedded within the PDF.
Any ideas? The form is linked below. Thanks in advance for your replies.
Here is a link to the PDFSOLVED
While our problems differ, my solution may still be relevant.
My culprit was a rogue font in an embedded Visio drawing. I identified and located the font using the "List text using non-embedded fonts" Preflight analysis in Acrobat 9.4 Pro. I checked the encoding of each non-embedded font and discovered that Arial Unicode MS used Korean font encoding (specifically, KSCms-UHC-H). See screenshot below. Doubleclicking on one of the font properties highlighted the offending text in the pdf.
I went to that location in the source file, which happened to be in the first embedded Visio drawing (shown above). I double clicked the drawing, selected all, and selected Arial font. Then I regenerated the pdf and viewed it in Reader X. The Korean language pack error message did not appear and all Visio drawings displayed normally.
I would recommend using the Acrobat preflight tools to locate text or objects with incorrect font encoding within your PDF or form, then surgically striking (or carpet bombing) the affected location(s) in the source files with embedded/supported fonts.
Hope this helps.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can use Preview to open PDFs. Right-click a PDF file and go to Open with > Preview -
If I try to download a pdf document, details appear in the tab but not on screen. I am using Firefox. If I use Safari it appears on the screen but the print is blank.
Hi...
Quit your browsers.
Open the Finder.
From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Typs this exactly as you see it here: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
Relaunch either Firefox or Safarai and try downloading a PDF document. -
Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

How do I delete an e.mail on my 5s iphone that has a mime attachement? the e.mail can be read but not deleted. A message comes up saying that it cannot be moved! The e.mail was sent to me and I forwarded it. The e.mail is not in any other folder in the phone or on my mac. But it might be in my backup to the mac via itunes.
This is for your protection, its not supposed to be easy.
You should be keeping a record of all your passwords, security answers, etc.
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple id sec. questions.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
If that doesn't work and you can verify the following info, call 1-800-APL-CARE.
1. apple id username, that is not locked or disabled.
2. serial number of an apple product registerd in your name
3. Billing info associated with your account -
the flood filter is in my plugins folder along with the other plugins I have, but not in cc 2014. It's also in Adobe bridge associated with cc 2014, but not in cc 2014 Photoshop. i hope you get this because i forwarded your info to HCS and now I'm all mixed up as to this gets forward.
Unfortunately, you are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums.
However, there are many highly experienced volunteer users here willing to help.
Can you please clarify: are you saying that your Flood filter (whatever that is) is in your Bridge folder but not in Photoshop?
UPDATE: I Googled your Flood Filter and discovered it's not an Adobe filter at all. Have you contacted its manufacturer, Flaming Pear? What do they say? -
Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
Thanks, John LeeLooking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page. -

Although the HP Scanjet shows up in the system profile for the computer it is generic and is not configured (as in screen shot). It also does not show up in the ;ist of pritnters, scanner when I open Image Capture. I can't load the software that came with the printer because it is out of date so that would make it impossible to configure the scanner on the new iMac. see below: Too bad there isn't some generic profile I could load that would cover the 5550c. I have a new all in one printer-fax-scanner but the old one can scann in slides and negatives which I have.

when I make a video with the camera ipad mini seen but not heard I can do ?
Yeah, of course you can. All you do is, open PhotoBooth, record your video and then, once you have stopped the video recording just drag the movie out of the bottom of PhotoBooth onto the desktop. It is in .mov format so you can then add it to iMovie for further editing or just upload it to youTube as it is.
Easy as pie! -
I don't have a phone plan, so I cannot text without wifi. I have been using iMessage to text my friends, until it stopped working. I can text my sisters email, but not my boyfriends iPhone. The send button will not turn blue. Help? Please?
There is a problem with iMessage with what Apple says is a small number of iPhones and they are working on a fix. In the meantime try this:
1. Settings > Messages > iMessage = Off
2. Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime = Off
3. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
4. Wait for the iPhone to Reboot
5. Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime = On
6. Settings > Messages > iMessage = On
You may have to repeat the steps a couple of times.
