PREVIEW APP VS ADOBE ACROBAT

I have asked this question before but the phrasing just wasnt quite right.
Anyone besides

please feel free to answer
Trying to figure out as to why viewing a PDF in the Prview APP in Mountain Lion and viewing the same PDF in ACROBAT colors are different. In Snow Leopard it is the same.
Anyone else notice this?

VikingOSX Please read..Im talking about the end user. Im in Austin Texas, and my client could be in Nebraska. I cant control what and how they view it, but if they are on a mac and in ML, and viewing in PREVIEW and not ACROBAT, colors tend te be different. NOT ALWAYS, and thats what I cant figure out...

Assumption: Using Acrobat 10.1.4 (latest ML compatibility update).
Once your work is displayed in Preview, have you asked it to use the same "Color Sync" calibration profile as you use in Acrobat? Does your frustration stem from already performing this step and a color registration disparity remains?
Preview > Tools > Assign Profile... choose same color profile.

  • Getting overprint preview preference in Adobe Acrobat 9

    Hello,
    yesterday I installed the Adobe Acrobat 9 Trial and I tried my plugin.
    Does anyone know how to get the overprint preview setting?
    In older version of Adobe Acrobat I'm using following code:
    AVAppGetPrefBool(DSAVSettings[prefNumber].m_section, DSAVSettings[prefNumber].m_name, (ASBool)DSAVSettings[prefNumber].m_requiredValue_9);
    m_section is "Originals" and m_name is "OverPrintPreview".
    In Adobe Acrobat 9 it always returns the default value m_requiredValue_9 which means that the setting can not be found?
    Do I have to change the value of m_section or m_name or do I have to use an other method?
    Thanks for your help!

    I'm having a problem with securing specific fields. Not sure if that can be done. I have a form that I created in LiveCycle Designer and the forms contains fields that create a basic calculation for example (Qty+Price=Total). I want those fields to be field out by our sales people and I want them to save the form with the info. field in and email to customer as a quote basically, but I don't want the customer to be able to change those numbers, but I do want the customer to fill in other portions of the field. Having a problem doing this cause Acrobat is only letting me secure the whole form and not just portions. Is there a way to only secure portions of a form. Please help ASAP.
    Thank You

  • Safari is not allowing Adobe Acrobat to control PDF viewing, PDFs are opening in Preview

    After the latest update of Safari, in Snow Leopard, when I attempt to open a document as a PDF, the document is opening in Preview rather that Adobe Acrobat software.  This has never happend before.  I have been openning PDFs in Acrobat in every previous version of Apple Software and every version of Adobe Acrobat.  The support personnel for the web site where the PDF documents are created suggests that some plug-in control in Safari has been changed in the latest update. 

    I thought it was clear but here it is again...
    1. While in the finder select any pdf file by clicking on it.
    2. In the File menu click the Get Info menu item or just click command + I ("eye").
    3.  The finder info window for that selected pdf will be displayed.
    4. You will see various sections of the info window separated by divider lines.  One will say Open With and have a popup menu below it.  From that popup select the app you want to open that pdf.
    5. If you want all pdf's to be handled by the chosen app click the Change All... button below the popup memu.

    Hi BeeKeeper475,
    Is this issue specific to Indesign generated pdf's or any pdf's?
    The icon changing the logo to a pic seems to be the thumbnail view of the pdf and is normal.
    Are you able to open the pdf's via Adobe Reader or Preview application on Mac?

  • Picture in PDF broken in Adobe Acrobat Reader for Windows

    Hi,
    I always thought that Adobe's PDF-format is the ultimative, interchangeable file format. Well, what a surprise: it isn't:
    I have a picture in a PDF document.
    It is displayed fine on my Mac in Preview and in Adobe Acrobat 8.
    The picture has severe distortions on Windows (eg. current version of Adobe Acrobat Reader).
    You can find this PDF here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/285107/Picture.pdf
    Please let me know how I can fix this?
    Furthermore I would love to know why even Adobe cannot manage to display the PDF correctly under Windows?
    Thanks
    Daniel

    Ok, just to summarize the status of my PDF:
    Doesn't work in Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Win XP)
    Doesn't work in Adobe Acrobat Reader X (Win XP)
    Works just fine in Evince (Win XP)
    Works in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro (Mac)
    Works in Preview (Mac)
    Works in Skim (Mac)
    So most of the rederers tested display it correctly. For me that looks like a huge inconsitency in the Adobe Acrobat product family. It is not platform specific, because it does work in Windows as well (using other renderers).
    I have two issues with that:
    How come that Adobe Acrobat seems to be the only renderer with issues with this file?
    Why do some version of Adobe Acrobat display it, while others don't?
    To me that really sucks since I trusted the portability of PDF and my own Pro version of AA on my Mac far too much!
    My lessons learnt here: Do not use Adobe products since they cannot be used consistently accross platforms (see Flash for another example).
    Since the support policy of Adobe does only offer this forum free-of-charge even for obviously valid bugs, I decline to report this (again) as a bug due to my own time constraints.

  • Acrobat ClearScan + Preview.app

    Hello all,
    I am using Adobe Acrobat X to vectorize characters in scanned books with Adobe's ClearScan technology which produces a custom font set for each PDF.
    ClearScanned PDFs are greatly beautiful and light, and Preview.app can open them properly. However, when I save the PDFs after putting some comments in them, the text of PDFs become non-searchble.
    Does anyone know how to avoid this problem?

    Hi Akira,
    I do have the same problem and did some research through various message boards. Apparently Apple's Preview viewer deletes the non-system font information that is put in the PDF file by Acrobat while doing a 'Clearscan'. So as soon as you save the file using Preview, you unknowingly delete all the information on the text 'behind' the visible characters. This is a huge issue for me as I highlight through a lot of PDF documents which I receive from various sources and many of the older documents are scanned using Acrobat's Clearscan feature to restore smooth fonts and drastically reduce the size of the documents.
    One solution is to stop using Apple's Preview tool and use another tool. Some have mentioned that Skim provides annotations in a different file without affecting the source PDF. Another solution if you have access to Acrobat (for which there is a 30 day trial option) is to save the document to a TIFF image file and then re-OCR the file using the 'retain image' option. The disadvantage is that this file will be much bigger and slower to scroll if you want reasonably smooth text. If you do this, you should set the properties for output to TIFF and convert to PDF options to use 600dpi (or at least 300dpi) and use lossless compression on images so that your text stays nice looking. If you ensure that your TIFF output is in black-and-white the file shouldn't be ridiculously large.
    Hopefully they will fix that problem with Preview soon. The improvements made to the highlighting feature of Preview made an essential tool for my daily work and that of many other academics.

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader vs Preview

    I have been using preview for reading pdf documents. Are there advantages (or disadvantages) to using Adobe Acobat Reader? How about the full version of Adobe Acrobat? Also anyone have experience with AppZapper? Thanks!
    iMac Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    If all you need to do is read or see pdfs, then I much prefer Preview to Acrobat, because it is smaller, simpler and loads much faster. If you need to create sophisticated pdfs with various capabilities, then Acrobat is the app of choice.
    AppZapper works quite well. There are occasions it hasn't always found all the associated docs for a particular app.

    I used to be able to see a preview of my scan which i can no longer see only the adobe acrobat symbol I am using Adobe pro 9 can this be changed??

    Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
    If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
    Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
    You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

  • Why certain functionality works in Adobe Acrobat, but not in LiveCycle Preview PDF?

    I have some simple logic in a LiveCycle form that will hide a subform when I click a checkbox.  When I save as dynamic PDF and open in Adobe Acrobat 9, it works fine, but when I test the .xdp in LiveCycle Preview PDF it does not.  I'm new to JavaScript and have wasted some time troubleshooting what I thought was a problem, only to find out it was working.  Am I doing something that is not capatible with Preview PDF? 
    Attached below are images of hierarchy, design, and code.  I realize the hierarchy is more complex than it needs to be.  It is an excerpt I built to test this functionality, based on the full document.
    Thanks.
    form1.diag.Cervical.show::click - (JavaScript, client)
    if (this.rawValue == 1) {narrative.Cervical.mre.presence = "visible"} else {narrative.Cervical.mre.presence = "hidden"}
    form1.narrative.Cervical.mre::initialize - (JavaScript, client)
    this.presence = "hidden";

    Did you made the form as Dynamic and Interactive in the preview..
         1) Goto File menu -> Form Properties and select Defaults tab. Change the Default Render Format as Dynamic XML form
         2) Select the Preview Tab. Set the Preview type as "Interactive Form" and Preview Adobe XML form as Dynamic XML form
         3) Finally while saving the PDF select Save As Type as "Adobe Dynamic XML Form".
    Thanks

  • Why does Preview not display some PDF content which is visible in Adobe Acrobat?

    I have occasionally received PDFs from multiple different sources for which some content (words, checkmarks, etc) simply does not appear in Preview.  The full content does appear when view with Adobe Reader.  Unfortunately, when viewing in Preview, there is no indication that anything is missing.
    What is going on here?  Is there some solution?  I prefer Preview because it is fast ans versitile, but if it doesn't actually display the whole thing...

    The answer is that some pdf options are not available in Preview. Adobe has a number of annotation and graphics and even file linking options which do not carry through to Preview. In other words, Preview is not 100% compatible with Adobe Acrobat, Preview is less capable, although it can generally handle probably 99% of what people do in pdf format. But there is a small collection of things that do not come through properly with Preview.
    One obvious example is forms. While this may not be the situation you are asking about, note that Adobe Acrobat can create forms that one can fill out with Acrobat Reader. These forms have cells and one can go through them and enter text or information into those cells with Adobe's software. Sometimes the forms even include boxes to be checked or highlighted and so forth, all possible with a click using Adobe's own software. However Preview often is unable to enter the data on those forms. Again, the reason is that for certain somewhat advanced options, Preview does not have every capability that Adobe Acrobat (or Acrobat reader) has.
    For simple stuff, however, Preview generally works well.
