Possible to view PDFs in Preview app as facing pages?
Is there a way to view a PDF with facing pages in the Preview app? Like if you had a book open?
(Other than slideshow?)
Regards,
Karen
Thanks,
Tried that, no luck. Are there any other settings I can try?
BTW, I can display the same PDF with facing page in DevonThink and Journler with no problems.

Trouble Viewing PDFs in Preview
Hey all,
I am having trouble viewing PDFs in Preview 4.0 on my MacBook Pro, running Leopard (10.5.1). I can Quick Look the documents from my desktop (or any other folder) fine. However, when I double-click the document to open it in Preview, i get nothing. Preview opens, but does not display the document, or anything for that matter. I even tried to open PDFs from the Preview menu, but to no avail.
I just upgraded the internal hard drive, but everything else seems to be working fine, and this seems like a weird issue to be caused by a laptop upgrade.
Any ideas? I tried Disk Utility, but still nothing.
ThanksHi,
Have you tried deleting Preview's pref file? It should be located as a ".plist" file under preferences in your library folder.
Find the file "com.apple.Preview.plist" and move it to the trash for the time being. Run Preview again and see if that'll help. If this fixes it you can safely delete the .plist file that's in the trash.
Good luck. -
Is there a way to correct Adobe PDF Portfolio - Preview Mode Displaying Incorrect Pages
Whether the portfolio is created in Acrobat X or XI, or viewed in X or XI, (and these are created as a grid) , the preview of the pdf shows pages of the previously viewed pdf within that portfolio. Acrobat and Flash is up to date.

Adobe PDF Portfolio - Preview Mode Displaying Incorrect Pages
I have created a PDF portfolio using the “Grid” template in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. The Portfolio contains three pdf files. I am getting the following problem when I open the pdf Portfolio in Adobe Reader X and XI and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.
Open the PDF portfolio
Click on pdf3
Preview mode displays the correct document and pages.
Close the preview of pdf3
Click on pdf2
Preview mode displays pages from pdf3,not pdf2 (see screenshot below).
Some observations:
If pdf1 has two pages, and pdf2 has ten pages, pdf2’s preview contains pdf 1 (pages 1-2) and then pdf2 (pages 3-10).
If I continue to open pdfs the preview contains pages from all the pdfs I have opened in the portfolio (this depends on how many pages the document I am currently previewing has). It is not just caching the last pdf opened.
Preview mode always displays the correct NUMBER of pages (i.e., if there are ten pages in a pdf, there will be ten pages in the preview. They will just be the wrong pages).
Turning off local page cache (preferences > page display) does not fix the problem.
Adobe Reader is up-to-date and Flash is up-to-date. I have replicated the problem on different computers, and in Adobe Reader X and XI, and Pro XI. I have also created muliple pdf portfolios from scratch to confirm the pdf portfolio itself wasn't corrupt.
Does anyone have an idea what is happening? Users are getting very confused when their preview shows them a completely different document.
Thanks for any helpWe have the same problem. Everything's up to date. Adobe needs to address this issue!! The portfolio feature is a great idea, but this glitch basically ruins it. If you come by this page with the same problem, make sure you leave a reply. Maybe Adobe will actually pay attention if there are enough complaints.

The single view is the only setting I need and I find it cumbersome to dig inside menues for every single document. It would be great if there was an option or maybe a property that can be set.
Thanks!And another comment: The save trick does not work for documents you cannot write. For instance I have a latex documentation on my machine and I cannot save these documents since they belong to root. So it would be great to make this configurable for the user.
Thanks! -
Kernel panic when viewing PDFs in Preview
Hello. I have recently been digitizing documents to my Macbook Pro. When I try to open the resulting PDFs, my Macbook has a kernel panic and restarts.
When I open the PDF, Preview has trouble displaying it properly. It looks corrupted. Zooming out seems to corrupt the image more, until the laptop hangs and restarts. I tried to open a PDF in a different app (Skim) and the same issue occurred.
Thanks for any help solving this.

com.apple.kec.pthread 1The panics are probably caused either by a bug in OS X or by a hardware fault, but you should rule out "VirtualBox" as a suspect by uninstalling it completely.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software. -
Problems viewing PDF in PREVIEW

I've tried playing with the preferences in Preview without any improvements. Can anyone help the ver of Preview I have is 4.2

Viewing PDF in preview, black rectangles around links
I've created a PDF in Microsoft Word 7.0, the PDF looks great in all applications except Preview on a mac. It would seem that all links in the PDF have a black rectangle around them, this only seems to be an issue in Preview, is this a known issue? As near as I can tell, no other applications seem to be interpreting these links as having boxes around them, this would lead me to believe that the problem does not lay with how the PDF was created.

AFAIK, you can't with Preview. Use Adobe Reader to ascertain the embedded fonts.

Is it possible to view a list of apps I paid money for?
Hello! I'd like to keep track of apps I've actually bought, and not the free apps I've downloaded. Is there anywhere in iTunes that keeps a list like that? I have hundreds of apps in my "Purchased" list (and that's after hiding all of the ones I won't ever use again), so I don't really look forward to going through the whole list to find the ones I've forgotten...

Preview.app will not display some PDF files
Since upgrading Yosemite I have found that Preview.app will not display some PDF documents, the documents open but all the pages are blank. This is a big issue as my work involves reviewing documents that are all in the PDF format. Strangely some PDFs work properly but I haven't been able to determine any common factors among the documents that work versus those that don't work. The problem documents do open correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader but Reader takes over viewing of PDF container fields I have in several important FileMaker Pro 13 databases. Acrobat in the FileMaker databases for me is just as much of a problem as not viewing PDFs in Preview.
After searching the forums I followed suggestion in a post to try using version 7.0 of Preview.app (the version that worked under Mavericks) but that is also showing blank pages. I have noticed that the PDFs which open as blank pages also display that way in Finder and Spotlight previews. Could this mean that I have some kind of OS level issue here and not a Preview.app issue? Perhaps Finder and Spotlight use Preview.app to generate the preview.
I have posted this in a bug report to Apple but in the meantime I would welcome any suggestions or workarounds to try.The built-in PDF renderer has trouble with that file. You might get better results with Adobe Reader.

Hi,
I'm wondering if someone can chime in here and verify this for me. It appears that it is not possible to view pdfs on Android using the StageWebView class, correct?
thxHi,
I'm not certain if this is the same issue, but have you checked you've set to enable hardware acceleration in your app descriptor XML?

I can not view pdf's in safari but I use to be able to.
I can not view a pdf in safari and I used to be able to. I can view pdfs in preview but i often click on pdf links and it takes me to a blank page. I have looked into it and I found that adobe acorbat is the recomended viewer for safari. I have tried to find out if i have still got it and I have found a few acrobat plug-ins. Does anybody know how to fix this problem? Thanks
Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
Opening PDFs with Preview instead of Acrobat within Safari
I much prefer to use Preview for downloaded PDFs than have Acrobat open PDFs in Safari. How can I switch back to Preview once I have installed Acrobat 7?
Thanks inadvance!PDF Browser Plug-in is a good alternative for viewing PDF files accessed via a web page. You can save or print from the pdf page. I've used it for a couple of years now, and IMO is a viable alternative to Preview, especially in quickly accessing the information within Safari.
There is no charge for the plug-in if used for non-commercial purposes.

SB Audigy 4 causes system to freeze
Hello, As the title suggests, I've got a problem with my Audigy 4. From time to time it will freeze my computer completely, often creating a sound loop or some wierd screeching noises. It mostly happens when playing certain games, but also sometimes
