Preview can't see half of a PDF (JSTOR)

I just downloaded a 20-page PDF of an article from JSTOR, and Preview refuses to see pages 2-11. Neither in the document nor in the drawer preview are there any pages in this range, and clicking "Next" or "Last" toggles from 1 to 12.
The PDF looks fine in Acrobat, and my library told me it worked fine on their PCs. Do we really want things working better on a PC than on a Mac?!
Just wanted to report what appears to be a bug -- either with Preview, or with how JSTOR is producing PDFs. I'll be happy to e-mail anyone a copy of the affected PDF files. Or you can try downloading from JSTOR (if a subscriber), at Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2671392
Thanks

My wife is also having this same problem on her iBook G4 with tiger. My MacBook with Leopard seem to work fine.
Jstor posted official comment that they have updated their .pdfs over this summer and now they seem to have compatibility issues for some versions of preview. Their current advice is to use Adobe acrobat.
Pdf lab works fine too - though this is not a very convenient solution.
You might want to try to use Leopard to see whether the issue is solved (not sure maybe it is related to PPC architecture and the bug will remain even after the upgrade to Leopard)

I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. In Acrobat 9 Pro

I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. I can do this in Acrobat 9 Pro with the Document pull down menu. Did they take this away in Acrobat X?

Whether it's maxed or not doesn't make any difference.
The bottom part of the image/scroll bar is always under the Windows taskbar any time the URL is opened.
It is always fixed by doing something, either switching to and back from another window, or turning on and off one or more toolbars.
That shouldn't be necessary. The bottom part should be visible when the URL is opened.

When I use the 'reply' tab in Hotmail I can only see half of the screen and am unable to scroll down to view the email I am responding to. How do I fix this?

I use Hotmail and when I hit 'reply' I can only see half of the page. I cannot tab down to read the email I am responding to and if I type too much the text disappears into the hidden section of the page. This does not happen in Google Chrome when I checked it so it is a Firefox problem.
How do I fix this?

OOPS! Too quick on the trigger to ask that question without trying anything. Sorry. Solved it by touching the bookmark icon.

Picture can not be resized to fit the screen, so i can only see half of my face when use it as wallpaper!! Suckss!!

picture can not be resized to fit the screen, so i can only see half of my face when use it as wallpaper!! How can I change it？？

There's a bug with the wallpaper. One thing that helps a bit, go to the photos app, find your pic, 'send' it to be wallpaper. You have a bit more control although not all the function you're used to.
No idea when or if Apple will fix it.

Can't see and open a pdf in a mail with ipad

I there,
working with ipad2
can't understand , got sometimes pictures of my house from an architecte . these're send as pdf
often I can't see the attachement and so impossible to see anything !
BUT when opening the mail on a Mac OS everything is ok

I reccomend that you download the Adobe Reader app (It's Free) then when selecting the PDF in mail you can do an open in... and select Reader.
You can do the same in ibooks if you already have that installed or as alternative to Adobe Reader

I can't see bates number on pdf, but it prints

I have bates numbered documents, but can't see the number when the pdf is opened even though it prints.

If you right-click the image in Internet Explorer and check its Properties, is it on the same server as the page or on a different server? Do both have a matching protocol (e.g., HTTP or HTTPS)?
More generally: When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

10.5.3: Preview can't display text on saved PDFs...?

I have lots of credit card/bank statements which I've downloaded as (not 'printed as') PDFs... now since 10.5.3 when I open them Preview can't read the text- it displays logos and layout but no text... taking the documents over to my laptop running 10.5.2 they display perfectly...
...anyone else had this? Or have an idea about how to solve it?
(I did my first 10.5.3 update via Software Update- when I found this problem I downloaded the 10.5.3 dmg from the Apple website, and ran that... and still have the problem...)
This is on a late 2007 iMac...

I didn't fill out the text. The text was there when I first downloaded the documents- and is still readable on my other computer. They just come up blank...
Actually to test, I just downloaded Adobe Reader- which displays them perfectly... but Preview still displays them blank...?

How can I see the comments in PDF document on Chrome OS?

Hi, I am trying to view the comments in a PDF document on my Chromebook (Chrome OS). The PDF viewer in Chrome cannot show them (I see only the graphical hints, like yellow background and such). I tried several apps in the Chrome store, but none of them could show the comments in the PDF document. There is an app to comment a PDF file, but it uses a proprietary format, and is incompatible with the comments created by Adobe Acrobat. I also tried to upload the PDF to the Acrobat.com webspace. While it provides an online viewer, even the Acrobat.com webspace viewer does not show the comments . So I am running out of ideas, and still cannot see the comments of the PDF on my Chromebook...
Is there something obvious I am missing? Is there an app that can show comments on Chromebooks?
Thank you!
Claus

Nike+iPod -> Settings -> Distances -> Miles
This should change Miles to Kilometers. If it doesn't, try restoring your iPod on iTunes or you have a defective one so take it back to the store you bought it and have it exchanged.

Can't see text on a PDF that has text and graphics.

I create a monthly newsletter for a small non-profit and we send it out via email. The original file is a publisher file then saved as a pdf. When I tried to read it on my iPad, I couldn't see the text - only pictures. However - everything is clear on my computer screen in the sent and received inbox. I've never had issues with my newsletter being able to be read on an iPad before. I want people to be able to read it on their phones, iPads, tablets....thoughts?

Ok, what we can tell you is that if this is a LiveCycle form (and we can be pretty sure it is), that you are absolutely right. Acrobat can fill it, and nothing else. These are a very special kind of PDF, where all the text is in a special XML format that Acrobat can only show, not edit.
So, you are on the right track: if it can be edited, you need LiveCycle Designer. Unfortunately, we don't know much about it in this forum, so please try posting here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es
If the form is publicly available, it may help if you include the URL (web address) when you post.

Aperture previews/Can't see Aperture library in other apps.

This isn't really a new problem for me, but I decided to ask now to see if it can be fixed somehow. I use Aperture 3.4.5, OSX 10.8.4. The problem is that Aperture doesn't show up under the Media tab when in other apps. For instance, in Mail if I try to attach a picture. It shows iPhoto and Photobooth. But I get an error when I click on Aperture that tells me I need to turn on sharing to iLife in the preferences of Aperture. But this is turned on. Still no access to the Aperture library. Same thing in iTunes. Now, since my Aperture and iPhoto libraries are linked I can just choose the photos I want to attach from the iPhoto library. But I want to choose the Aperture library!!
But it won't let me. I cannot add projects/folders to my iPhone or iPad in iTunes either. I get the same turn on the sharing message. And I have this turned on.
I've seen a few other people with this problem in searches I have done but I have not seen any solutions...
Help?!?

So your Aperture library is in fact a previous iPhoto library.
Correct. When I purchased Aperture, I imported from my iPhoto library. And I guess they are shared.
I am still not quite sure about the state of your iPhoto/Aperture library. Depending on when you bought Aperture, you may have imported the iPhoto Library into a new Aperture Library; then you now have an Aperture library, or you may have simply opened the iPhot Library in Aperture, keeping it an iPhoto Library. The Finder can show you what it is.
Select your library in the Finder and use the Finder command "Get Info ⌘I". The Info panel will show you the type of the library.
Disclose the "General" brick in the panel. The "Kind" will either show "iPhoto Library" or "Aperture Library".
Then disclose the "Name & Extension" brick and look, if your library has a filename extension - aplibrary or photolibrary. Uncheck "Hide Extension" to see it.
If your library still is "Kind iPhoto Library", then you never imported your Library, you only used it in Aperture.
Or if you want to use iPhoto and Aperture with separate photo libraries, import your current library into a new Aperture library. Open your now empty Aperture Library in Aperture by double-clicking it. Then use the command "File > Import > Library" in Aperture and select your iPhoto library. This will import all events, albums, etc. into your empty Aperture Library and craete a copy of the iPhoto library, but now it will have the kind "Aperture Library" and the Media Browser should show it in the Aperture section and not the iPhoto section. Only make sure, that you unhide all photos in iPhoto, before you do that. Aperture cannot unhide photos that have been hidden in iPhoto.
My question here is if I go into my new Aperture Library, and import from iPhoto again (and I guess make them not shared?) Will it then *copy* my iPhoto library, which is 240GB. Then I would have 2 240GB folders??
I appreciate the help so far. Right now I'm doing the generate preview thing again, which is taking awhile. But I'm guessing that since my iPhoto and Aperture libraries are linked and shared now this won't matter much. I will still only see iPhoto listed in the Media Browser..
Let's talk about that part of your question when we know for sure, if you already imported your iPhoto library or simply opened it in Aperture. If your library is an Aperture library with an imported iPhoto library inside there may be additional complications.

Can't see folder structure when PDF folder in Lotus notes

Hi All,
We are using Lotus Notes 8.5 with Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. In the Lotus Notes client, this one user clicks on the "Convert Selected folders to PDF', and a box comes up asking her to select the folders she wants to convert.
The problem we run into is that you cannnot see the folder structure in the box. You only see the dots and boxes that outline the structure. This is inside her FOLDERS folder. I uploaded a picture. Hopefully you can see it.
Thanks!

Have you tried recreating the site definition in Dreamweaver? Sometimes stuff happens and the Dreamweaver site definition gets corrupted - and then all sorts of stuff can go wonky (like folders not showing up correctly).

Can't see bar codes on PDF files

I Received tickets to print in a PDF file but bar code did not show on ticket when opened . is there a fix for this?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
