Preview.app search without toolbar

I can't bear it anymore.
I view pdfs (lots of them) in a clean window, with no huge icons taking screen space, no toolbar/sidebar, I take advantage of the marvelous control tool that is my MBP's keyboard, but the search feature of Preview.app has been killing me now for I think at least 2 years.
I crave for the possibility to just use Cmd+F type my text and go to the next hit with Cmd+G, like in Safari.
Instead it's a mess:
I get a bar appearing at the top of the window if I want to hide it I have to click done, which also cancels my search (I cannot use Cmd+G). In Safari with Esc the bar disappears but we can still use Cmd+G. Ideally I would not have any bar appearing, just a bubble with my search text, but the Safari-style bar is definitely ok.
If I hit Cmd+F again my previous search is deleted, so I cannot edit/refine my search. I have to retype everything very carefully.
There is also the huge side panel with thumbnails and rankings of hits which I could not care less for 99% of the time, which pops up everytime I hit Cmd+G, and which I hide after most searches with CmdShiftD, if I am not waned.
My questions are:
Is there anyway to live better with the current Preview.app? Without keeping the large toolbars/sidebars/panels visible all the time.
Is there any improvement coming with the next Mac OS?
Can Apple Mac OS people responsible for this interface hear me?
Thank you for any help.

Press command-F, and providing it is not graphics text, place double-quotes around the phrase you want to match, and press return. Notice the arrows in the upper right corner of your document that allow you to advance or retreat to search matches.

Can I create a working preview app without creating a certificate etc?

All I need to do is create a working preview app for one tablet (Android - Galaxy 10.1) to be viewed as a company presentation only on that one tablet. It's an 80 page InDesign document with interactivity, hyperlinks, video, and I'm wondering if I have to go through the whole process of registering, certificates etc. just to do this?

You have to create an Adobe ID and connect it to DPS here https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/welcome.html.
Then you'll sign into the Folio Build in InDesign with those credentials and upload the folio to the Distribution Server.
Then you'll use the same credentials to sign into the Adobe Content Viewer. After signing in, your folio that you uploaded will be available to download.

Preview.app Cmd+F and »Done« button

Morning.
When I make a search in Preview.app by entering Cmd+F and typing the search item, how can I push the »Done« button without using the mouse?
TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

It behaves that way only if you do NOT have the Search field in the Preview toolbar (this is actually the default). Perhaps you would be happier if you added Search back into the toolbar--hitting Command-F then just puts the cursor into the Seach box, ready for you to type. There is no drop down sheet to clutter the view. Go to the Preview menu item View, select "Customize Toolbar..." and drag the Search box to the toolbar, click done. Hitting Command-F puts the cursor in the Search field, you just start typing. If there is a previous search term it is highlighted, so when you begin to type it will be over-written. No need to mouse click anything.

My App Store App, Preview App and a few others won't open!

Recently, my App Store App, the Preview App, Calendar App, Pages & Numbers Apps, to name a few just wont open and run. Even the Mail App, albeit opens, but wont run properly.
Ive remember seeing someone with the same problem, but im unable to findthe link again for how it was resolved.
Ultimately i could reinstall Snow Leopard again from my current copy of Mavericks (As i believe is the problem), however it would mean a complete fresh copy. If i did this, is it straight forward to copy all my info on Time machine back over onto the new system? Or more importantly, will Time Machine overwright & copy the corrupt copies that currently reside on my Mac?
Any advice or options to this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thx

Search Preview, Open Search Result, Authentication, Security Trimming Users - Domain

hi all
Good morning. I hope someone can direct me in the right path.
Server Setup 1 - SharePoint 2013 (using as search engine - fileserver)
SharePoint 2013 Foundation - Latest Patches with HTTP
Windows Server 2012
Server Setup 2 - Office Web Apps 2013
Office Web Apps - Latest Patches with HTTP
Windows Server 2012
Issues that I am facing - Search preview
a. I have configure SP2013 as a search for my file server. I get all the searches but I cannot preview them. I have configured the Office Web Apps 2013 and can successfully see the XML file in various TechNet article's. No event errors. I have ran
various PowerShell commands, to see if SP connects with Office Web Apps and it connects. This is all Internal network and so I have used HTTP.
Issues that I am facing - Open Search Result
b. I have faced this when search a document, I tried to click on OPEN and nothing happens. The document doesn't open and no errors. However, if I send the document to a user, the path opens it directly.
Issues that I am facing - Authentication
c. I would like to provide our users the opportunity to search without entering username and password on a domain computer but required on a non-domain joined computers. Can this be done?
Issues that I am facing - Security Trimming - File Share
d. I have a file share with Access Based Enumeration enabled. Some users are given access and some others no access to view certain folders and files. Will this reflect the searches ?. I have set a READ-ONLY access account to the complete fileShare. Does
the searches appear to those who have access and doesn't appear to those who don't have.
I am willing to learn and so I ask some guidance where I have gone wrong with the setup.
Thanks in advance for all the help.
Cheers
Jo

Hi Jo,
#1. Per my knowledge, the files in file share cannot be previewed with Office Web Apps in SharePoint search results.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/fdc18024-1782-4acd-a498-70c53c1d2f64/office-web-apps-preview-of-fileshare-documents
If the documents in the site cannot be previewed, I recommend to use command
New-SPWOPIBinding to re-create the binding without Action parameter and then do a full crawl tosee how it works.
#2. Please check the URL of the file in your search results and then copy the URL in the browser to see if the document can be opened.
#3. I recommend to extend the web application to the internet zone and do not grant anonymous permission on the search results page in the internet zone. Then when the user wants to do search, then he will need to sign in to access the search results page.
#4. Yes, if the user has no access to the files, then he will not be able to search the documents in SharePoint and the documents will not appear in search results.
Best regards.
Thanks

Preview app opens "split screen" on dual monitor setup

This is a minor issue, I rarely use the utilility "Preview" app. but I'd still like to understand this issue....I use a two monitor setup (MBP & StudioDisplay)..
The following happens if the window was last closed in "expanded" mode (you can see options for Drawer, rotate, etc)
When "Preview" launches and opens a window, it places the top portion of the window on the secondary display and bottom part of the window on the primary display.
This Does Not happen if the window was last closed in "non-exanded" (collasped) mode (sorry, I don't know the proper term).
In other words, in respect to it's position on the screen, when the window opens it always assumes it's in "collasped" mode.
Weird... any comments?

There's something wrong with the way Preview handles dual monitors. In my case if I open a smallish item, for instance a small png, instead of opening in the upper left corner of my main monitor it opens so that about half an inch of the Preview window is sticking over onto the second monitor (which is to the left of my main monitor). I had never "collapsed" the tool bar before, so I just now tried that on a small png, then closed it and re-opened. Sure enough, without the toolbar it opens properly. Display the toolbar, close, reopen, and it sticks onto the second monitor. Weird indeed. Larger size files open normally.
This started with the Tiger version of Preview. If you wish you can send feedback:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
Maybe it will help get this odd bug squashed in a future version of Preview.

Why does Preview app .fail to open ?

When trying to open up an image using preview, I keep getting a message ' The application "Preview app" is not open any more '.Consequently any image I try to open fails- The only way I have found to temporarily restore the application is to shut down & restart the computer ( not very efficient !!) but the problem reoccurs.
I have reset the PRAM and also reinstalled my OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite to try to get over this but to no avail..

Problem on Lightroom4, Aperture but not on iPhoto or preview.app

Hello,
I've got a strange problem and can't find any answer when searching on Google.
I moved my photos (JPEG) from iphoto to LR4 and aperture.
The exported file from iphoto looks the same in mac preview.app than in iphoto. However, once imported in LR4 or aperture the quality is awful (lot of noise).
Strange points include:
- If I export back the image from LR4 and aperture, it looks once again just ok with the preview.app; so it's not some compression happening when I import the photos in the new tools.
- If I take a screenshot of the photo looking awful in aperture or LR4, the screenshot looks ok on preview.app...
- Same problem for photos in sRGB or Adobe RGB.
Can someone give me an hand on this?
Many thanks,
Florian

How is your double-screen setup? What goes on which display? And have you tried to switch the two displays?

Preview.App does not find text in pure text pdf works in other PDF viewers

Hi I am using reportlab an open source python based pdf generating package to generate pdf reports.
The generated pdfs are searchable using Adobe acrobat and Google -Gmails built in pdf viewer . However in Preview.App the text seems to be only recognized as individual characters . For eg the text "hello world" will not match hello or world , but typing just h into the search bar will show up matched text as "h el l o" . So although visibly the text appears as a single word , semantically the words just seem to be composed of one or two characters.
Only Preview.App seems to have a problem with the generated pdf. Adobe Acrobat ( Mac and Windows) , Google-Gmail pdf-view , Evince-Gnome-PDF viewer ( Linux) dont have any problem with finding the text in the PDF documents generated.
I have a thread in the reportlab user forum discussing the issue (see http://two.pairlist.net/pipermail/reportlab-users/2009-August/008643.html). ANd the problem definitely seems to be with Preview.App . The pdf (sample see example text in corner) is available at this url ( http://s3.amazonaws.com/code-itch/searchtext.pdf)
The app is targeted at scientist Mac users . And I want to have the pdf reports searchable and indexed by spotlight , so getting this working is very important for me.
Your help is greatly appreciated
Hari

The posts on the reportlab newsgroup suggest that
"> If the preview is actually rendering the pdf and then searching, the 0
degrees case should be searchable. If that's the way the search is happening
then it's no surprise that the search should fail if the rendered letters
are at 90deg." -Robin Becker
Test cases show that search fails completely at rotations of 90 , succeed partially at rotations of 45, succeed fully at rotations of 0.
So , is there a way to prevent Preview from only searching the final rendered PDF. The pdf I am complaining about are searched fine in the many other PDF readers I tested that probably handle search differently.

Preview.app increases PDF file size.

When making changes to a PDF (in my case, creating annotations), Preview.app will increase the file size of a PDF if that PDF was run through Acrobat Pro's "Reduce File Size" process. For example, I have a PDF that I created using a Book2Net book scanner. I then used Acrobat Pro 10 to OCR the file, then ran Reduce File size which shrank the file size from almost 1.6gb down to about 62mb. If I use Preview.app to make an annotation and then save the file, Preview.app will inflate the file back up to 1.6gb.
An earlier thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1478588?start=0&tstart=0) also discusses a similar issue. I'm not sure if those folks were also working with PDFs that were reduced in size by Acrobat Pro or not.
Anyone else have this issue?
10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro.

That is not normal. same action with acrobat and skim do not do this. Changing file size from 170mb to 780mb (my case) should not be expected.
Preview re-formats the file (which takes a while the first "save"). It may even make scrolling and searching for text faster, but is not desirable all the time.
There is NO explanation from Apple in help or online. Keeping things simple is one thing, having unexpected and unexplained behavior is another.
Last preview update made it pretty much useless for annotations anyways.
Choosing "text" annotation used to allow for clicking anywhere on the pdf and start typing. Now, it automatically creates a text box at the center of page that has to be the dragged (and make sure not dragging other annotations with it). click T multiple times, multiple text boxes on top of each other.
I never thought I would look at Windows users with jealousy. What a bad job they are doing.

Lack of a print preview button on the toolbar

Like several users, I miss the availability of a Print Preview button on the toolbar. The reason: Many, many, many web sites configure their web page outputs so that they ignore the size and limitations of the user's printer. For instance, a web page will ignore the page size defined by the user and will just send out data without any regard to what the user can and will be able to print. This results in print lines that are truncated; lines that are wrapped for one word or so; or other types of output that are, at best, difficult to read and interpret. I have tried to load several add-ons which include a Print Preview button, but receive a message that because I have the most up-to-date version of Firefox (5.0.1), I CANNOT USE THEM. HELP!!!!!
Second issue: Size of the icons on the toolbars. I understand that this size is chosen to be the best for the AVERAGE user. But I find that I dislike having to place my nose on the screen in order to discern what icon I'm hovering over (Yes I'm an older individual, wear glasses and am somewhat near-sighted). It would be beneficial if the choice of toolbar icon size was larger than the default as well as the only current choice of smaller than the default.

Is there not a 'Print Preview' and 'Print' command from the '''File''' menu?
You can add an icon for Print commands by right clicking on one of the menu bars, select customize then drag and drop the icon where you want it.

Problem displaying characters from pdf file in Preview.app

Hi,
I hope someone can help with this problem.
I have some issues with the display of pdf files on OSX. The problems are with ligatures like 'fl' which Preview.app displays incorrectly as 'oeu'. There are other symbols which Preview also displays incorrectly.
This problem is not affected by cleaning the font cache and as far as I can tell all the fonts are present and correct. I am guessing the problem has something to do with Preview finding a different version of the Times or TimesRoman font than Adobe Reader uses, and so it gets the wrong symbol, but I'm not sure.
How can I ensure that Preview uses the same fonts as Adobe Reader? and how can I get Preview to render my pdf's correctly?
Here is a sample of the problem with Preview.app (4.1):
!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3456/33599073294296beb1a8m.jpg!
and with Adobe Reader (9.0.0)- correctly rendered:
!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3448/335990717548aa12e576m.jpg!

My computer automatically open PDF inside the Safari
window, but I wish it would go back to opening it
externally via Adobe. (maybe we should trade
computers:-)
Anyway, we have the same question.
How do we control whether PDF launches internal to
Safari, or external in Adobe?
This is what I would like to as well. I often have a lot of pdf files I need to open and then save to my hard drive. When I click on a pdf file on a website Safari opens it and then I need to right click in the document to open it with Adobe. How can I get it to open in Adobe the first time without having to right click after it opens in Safari?
Thanks!

Preview.app - Behaviour of Tiger's Preview for Leopard's Preview?

Hi there,
I am a web designer and I use Leopard's Preview to look at different pages of a website's design. This includes opening several pages as images and switching between them. And this is where I'm having alot of issues with Leopard's Preview.app and long for Tiger's good old Preview.app.
*1. Blurry images for a moment*
When I open several images (like PNGs or JPEGs) together and switch between them within Preview, the new image is always blurred for a short moment, which looks strange. In Tiger's Preview the new image was always shown instantly in 100 % quality. This is not a real problem, but it annoys me. Even more in the full screen mode. Is it possible to turn off this blurry moment?
*2. Unpredictable scroll position*
Again, when I switch between several images which are of different height, the old Preview showed the new image at the exact same scrolling position as the image before. So when I was looking at the top of image A and switched to image B, Tiger's Preview showed the top of image B.
In Leopard' Preview the scroll position of the new image is totally unpredictable. Sometimes it shows the middle, sometimes the top of the new image. Is it possible to tell Leopard's Preview that it should behave like Tiger's Preview here?
*3. Crop rectangle without outer fill color*
If you used the crop tool in Tiger's Preview the image parts around the crop rectangle were darkened. In Leopard's Preview they are not. Here again: Is it possible to have the old behaviour again?
Hope you can help me.
Cheers,
Robert

Actually, it has seemed to some that the blurriness never does completely clear up, and that the Leopard version of Preview will not display the same degree of crispness that the Tiger version does. You can run the Tiger version in Leopard with a bit of mild hacking--indeed, you can run both versions simultaneously. See this archived thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5889735
Of course, you have to have a Tiger version still around someplace....I renamed my Tiger version OldPreview, copied it to my Leopard drive and performed the hacks described in the above thread. It is still working in 10.5.5.
