Preview improperly displays PDF created by Kyocera printer/scanner.

Preview improperly displays PDF created by Kyocera printer/scanner. Adobe Reader displays same document ok. It appears that Preview is displaying low res CCITTFaxDecode thumbnails rather than high resolution DCTDecode images. The PDF in Question

I hate to think that Adobe Reader 9 can do something Preview can't

Search for the manual on the european site http://canon-europe.com/ - the versions there (at least for the A1100 IS) do not have the annoying COPY watermark.

Preview not displaying PDF form properly

Hi, I volunteer at a high school where there are macs installed. The students are trying to fill out their FAFSA form which I have downloaded from the Dept of Education's website. It displays properly inside Acrobat Reader for both Windows and Mac. The answer fields are set up as boxes, one letter for each box. In Acrobat Reader, you can fill out the form, and the each letter would appear inside each box. But when we open it up in Preview, which is what the school is using by default, the boxes disappear, and filling out the forms make them look like they're regular text input fields.
The PDF file is here: http://www.federalstudentaid.ed.gov/docs/colorEnglish_fafsa2009-2010.pdf
I don't want to have to install Acrobat Reader on these Macs because I don't want to mess with the school's computers like that. Is there a way we can get Preview to open up this file and have it display properly? I have Acrobat Pro at home, if I need to do something to "convert" or "fix" the file, I can.
Thank you!

I have also had problems with PDFs in Preview recently. Some PDFs created by Acrobat Pro don't display correctly. One document I received recently was full of grey squibbles in Preview. I opened it in Acrobat Pro and everything was as it should be. This has happened several times now.
However I don't want to open Acrobat Pro just to read a PDF, so I have, despite resistance, installed Acrobat Reader. It loads very quickly, so it's not like the old Acrobat used to be. It is basically an acceptable solution. Hopefully Apple will address this issue soon.

Problem pdf created by Epson Printer.

When I open a pdf created by my Epson printer (WF-7620) I am asked to install an Asian language pack. I do not want to install this pack. How do I stop it?
I have contacted Epson support who told me to contact Adobe as they could not see a way to stop it.

Here are my findings:
The last two files do not have any "real" text in them, and therefore contain no fonts, which is fine as they're just images.
The first file contains selectable text, probably the result of an OCR process by the Epson software, and has 3 fonts used in it: Times-Roman (Type 1) and two forms of a font called Kozuka Mincho PR6N (TrueType), which is a Japanese font owned by Adobe (http://store2.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_1812.html).
The usage of these fonts is what causes Reader to ask that you download the Asian language pack (they're probably included in it), so that it could display the text correctly. This doesn't look like an error to me. It's the font specified by the Epson software when it processed the file during the OCR process, and Reader is just respecting that choice, even though there's no real reason to use this specific font.
One possible solution would be to check the settings of your Epson software and see if you can specify the language of the OCR text, or better yet, the actual font used for it. If you can't customize it then you can't really solve this problem unless they change their application (or you install the font pack).
Here's a screenshot of the Fonts tab of the Document Properties for the first file from Acrobat Pro XI:

IE11 - Crystal Reports - PrintMode ActiveX now displaying PDF prompt (instead of printer prompt)

I asked this question over at stackoverflow and am now taking it here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20672254/ie11-crystal-reports-printmode-activex-now-displaying-pdf-prompt-instead-of
It's a simple straight-forward question. IE11 is breaking the ActiveX plug-in used for printing from the Crystal Report Viewer. All the pretty pictures are in the link I provided. But the jist is that for my ActiveX Print Mode reports, the PDF dialog is presented now instead of the normal Printer dialog (unless I use Compatibility Mode)
Other details:
I am using the Crystal Reports that comes with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. For the life of me I can't remember how this got installed on one of my browser's (maybe an install from Visual Studio?) ... but I've been deploying the Crystal Print Control 10.5 (32-bit; version: 10.5.1.2285).
And as mentioned in the stackoverflow post I have all ActiveX settings enabled and ActiveX Filtering off.

Hi William,
Moved your post to the .NET SDK forum.
CR for VS 2008 was included in the installer of Visual Studio, you can remove it from Add/Remove Programs.
Unfortunately the CR Basic that comes with VS 2008 only had one patch released and that's it. IE 11 was not released when it came out so we could not support it.
Currently there are no versions of CR or our SDK packages that do support it.
Crystal Reports Developer for Visual Studio SP 9 will support IE 11. You can get it from the Overview Tab and then on the left side. But it requires VS 2010 or above and SP 9 will support VS 2013 and IE 11.
In VS you could select either ActiveX or PDF:
I don't have IE 11 but to change the PDF go into the Add-ins menu:
See this link for supported OS's and VS's:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/b4JiAw
Also, IE 11 is likely on Windows 2008 Server or possibly Window 8.x.
Best thing to do is upgrade VS and then download the CR installer into VS so it supports current OS's and Browsers.

Acrobat Pro XI v.11.0.06 - PDF created by Microstation Print Organizer - Windows 7 - Printing shaded squares on top of shaded building and not displayed on screen, only displays on paper when printing

I have attached an image of the sheet to show the areas that are shaded. The building is supposed to be shaded, however the two squares within are not. These squares are not in the file converted to pdf and do not display on screen when viewing the pdf. Also there are several sheets in the set with shaded buildings and only two of the buildings have this issue. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I'm seeing this same problem happen on multiple platforms here in the office. Every time this happens, the screen view does not show these shapes. I have been seeing the same problem except linework will be missing in one of these square shapes as well. Please give feedback if anyone knows what causes this problem. One thing to note - these squares are the size and placement of a selection box within acrobat. For example, if i use the selection tool and click near where the problem printed out, the shaded area that gets selected is in the exact same spot and is the exact size.@

Preview: Export to PDF sends document to Printer

Problem: In preview, when I export anything to PDF, it is instead sent to my printer. I'm using Mavericks. This suddenly started happening for no apparent reason having worked fine previously. Help anyone please!

Lex - When I do as you suggest "Print-PDF-SaveAsPDF" I still have a problem in that no file is produced. I get the window come up that says "Processing page" and counts the pages, but when I look for where I saved it to there is nothing there. The only way I can produce PDFs now is Print-PDF-Save as Adobe PDF, as I have Adobe Acrobat installed. But I used to like to use the Mac version often for simplicity.

Cannot Preview when Display PDF in Browser is unchecked

Acrobat Professional 7.0 under Internet in Preferences, when Display in PDF browser is unchecked and then I am in LiveCycle Designer 7.0, the PDF Preview option is not available and the tab is missing. I have already done the Detect & Repair to no avail. Does anyone have a solution other than checking/unchecking? Thx in advance.

It was originally checked. I went in and unckd it & that's when the PDF tab disappeared. That is what is causing this whole thing. We have dozens of PDF files on Sharepoint & I work with that a lot. Due to needing to keep that main Sharepoint page open, that's why I chgd to not having PDF's open in the IE window. So at this point, it's a matter of keeping Acrobat open while working on the forms. Unless there's another way around. If not, I can live with that. The checking and unchecking was very time consuming.

All pdf say they are the wrong file type or are damaged. will not allow to open in preview and no pdf's can be printed as they are "empty"

All PDF's I try to save will save but nobody can open them. Message is it cannot be opened by reader it is the wrong file type or has been damaged.
Tried to open with Preview and the message says it is empty, also empty if you try to sea as a PDF in the print option!

Hi Michelle in MD,
Thank you for posting on the Adobe Forums, as botht applications cannot open the PDF file, i would suggest you to download it again and try.
Thanks,

Why do PDFs created with some print presets show the error message "cannot extract embedded font."

Whenever I create a pdf from InDesign using a press-quality preset, I get an error message upon opening the file. The error message says that an embedded font cannot be extracted.
InDesign indicates the font is not present in the file.
In Acrobat's properties, the font in the error message is listed and shows that it is not embedded, and that the actual font is unknown.
Running the "embed fonts" from preflight fixups doesn't help.

Found this fix in Preflight: Under prepress, I selected my destination, which is sheetfed offpress (CMYK) and ran the analyze and fix. The updated file opened without the error message.

How can I prevent Firefox from opening the file I create when I print a page with PDF Create! 5

After I print a web page using PDF Create! 5, Firefox opens the file so i can view it. Before I print, I select print properties and disable "view resulting pdf". However, the file is always opened in Adobe Acrobat, although I believe I have Adobe Reader set as default. I do not want any file to open. This happens on my non-privileged accounts. On my privileged account, the file is not opened. I have removed Firefox profiles, re-installed Firefox, Reset Firefox in Help-Troubleshooting. PDF Create!5 print screen can only be viewed in a host program such as Firefox, Libre-office Writer, or any other program that prints. They do not open the file either.

Thanks for your help. This is the Scansoft (Nuance) program. What I do not understand is why when I tell the print driver not to open the file with a privileged account, it obeys me. I am not sure where in the registry I would look for the information. I do not want to, but perhaps I should remove the Adobe Acrobat program (temporarily?) - then what would it do? Again, when I print from other programs - browsers, wordprocessors, etc - the file is not opened after printing, just with FireFox. I guess I can live with it, I have spent too much time already.

Reader 11.0.07 does not display content of PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1

We use some PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1 which do not show any content when opened with Reader 11.0.07, only a blank display area or erratic copies of the screen behind it. Documents look fine in print preview though and also print correctly. Tried to change various security or display settings, no effect. Tried other machines, different hardware, different OS versions (Win7, Win8), same effect on every single device with 11.0.07 installed.
Any ideas, anyone?!?

Hi,
Not sure why you are resolving the node (??), also I would not be inclined to include a period in the object name (.), maybe this is why you are resolving the node.
Also I don't see in the script where you are calling the instanceManager, in order to use the addInstance method.
Having said that the problem may be in the File > Form Properties > Defaults tab:
Check that Preserve script changes is set to Automatic.
Lastly is the form Reader Enabled? It would need to be for users with Reader to save the changes, including new instances of a repeating element.

Preview displays PDF with "COPY" written across each page

Canon's saving money by no longer including the User Guide with some of their camera's such as the Canon A1100 IS:
If I go to the canon site:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=183&mo delid=18138#DownloadDetailAct
... I can download the User Guide as a PDF from here:
http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/6/0300001856/01/PSA1100ISCUGEN.pdf
In Preview 5.0.1 (503), every page of the manual has the word "COPY" written across every page, which interferes with legibility.
If I open the same PSA1100ISCUGEN.pdf file in Acrobat Pro 9, then the word "COPY" is no longer displayed.
However if I go to print the manual from Acrobat Pro 9, then the preview in the Print Dialog shows the word "COPY" across each page to be printed.
So whether I use OS X's Preview.app, or Acrobat Pro 9, they both share the same printing subsystem which wants to print "COPY" across every page.
BTW Preview.app's "Show Inspector" identifies the Canon User Guide as protected, but with Printing privileges.
Any guidance on how to print the Canon User Guide without the word "COPY" across every page? Any thoughts on why Preview.app displays the word "COPY" onscreen, while Adobe Acrobat 9 does not? Any thoughts on whether there's a way around the common OS X printing subsystem that both sit on, wanting to print "COPY" across every page?
PS. I'm using an Canon IP5000 ink jet, but the behavior seems the same if I'm pointing to my office's Kyocera Postscript printer.

Search for the manual on the european site http://canon-europe.com/ - the versions there (at least for the A1100 IS) do not have the annoying COPY watermark.

Annotations made in Preview to PDFs created from MS Word corrupts PDF

In Preview, when I save annotations to PDFs created from an MS Word document, the PDF seems to be corrupted. Searching in the PDF no longer shows any results, and text copied from the PDF is displayed as a series of meaningless characters when pasted into a note annotation, or pasted into another file (e.g. a TextEdit file). So for example, "the monitoring of progress" becomes ")@%8,1),&12%,=%4&,2&//" when copied and pasted.
Is there any way to prevent PDFs from being corrupted in this way, or to restore the PDF so that searching and copying work correctly?

I suspect this is a problem with M$ failing to handle PDF files correctly. I would suggest you ask your question over on the M$ forums instead of here.

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 help

We 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.
