Preview or Adobe Reader
I've been using Preview for pdf viewing and printing, as well as right clicking on pdfs in Safari to choose "Open in Preview".
But are there advantages to using Adobe Reader? And is Adobe Reader actually a universal binary now, with a plugin for Safari?
Mark
Adobe Reader is not a Universal program as of yet.
Adobe Reader 7.0.7 system requirements:
Macintosh
PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
Mac OS X v10.2.8, 10.3, or 10.4
128MB of RAM (256MB recommended)
Up to 110MB of available hard-disk space
Safari 1.2.2 browser supported for Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
You can get this program at the following site:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/107
This new version of the familiar Adobe Acrobat Reader provides a host of rich features that enable you to:
Submit Adobe PDF forms that are created with fillable form fields in such applications as Adobe Acrobat Professional and Adobe Form Designer
Play back a variety of embedded multimedia content, such as QuickTime and MP3 files
Read and organize high-fidelity eBooks
Activate search and accessibility capabilities built into your PDF files
Display Adobe Photoshop? Album slide shows and electronic cards and export images for online photo processing (online photo services vary regionally)
What's new in this version:
Support for new 3D content: Reader 7.0.7 allows you to view, interact with, annotate, and measure 3D content embedded in PDF documents created with Adobe Acrobat 3D.
Form improvements: Static and dynamic PDF forms created or enabled by Adobe LiveCycle products now work more efficiently.
So it really depends on what you need it for. For the average person who just wants to view, print or save file in the PDF format Preview is the way to go.
The best thing to is to go ahead and download the Adobe reader and try it out. I am sure it will be better once a Universal version is out, but that might be awhile.

Problems displaying a pdf correctly (both with preview and adobe reader)
Hey guys,
I've been having problems with displaying lecture notes (pdf files) correctly. It doesn't matter if I use preview or adobe reader.
Can anyone please help me out?
thanks a lot in advance,
SimonHi there,
I have a very similar problem: a number of pdf files that I can see perfectly well in Safari/GoogleChrome do NOT show correctly in Preview or ANY iPad app I have (Notability, Adobe, PDF Expertm iAnnotate, Dropbox etc.).
The problem is that punctuation -- with the expection of periods or bolded text -- does not show properly. For example, commas and quotation marks to not show, and some numbers to not show.
Moreover, once I have annotated/viewed the problematic file on the IPad and resync to dropbox to view on Mac vis Adobe (which I do with most pdf files with no problems), I get an error message upon reopening the pdf file saying "Cannot extract the embedded font 'FAFWQV+--unknown-2--'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." (the 'quoted' text changes each time). When opening in Preview, no error message appears, though the fole is still lacking punctuation etc.
Here is a link to one problematic pdf: http://niis.cass.cn/upload/2012/12/d20121201200145301.pdf
NB: the file is in Mandarin, however I can successfully open/edit/annotate/sync other pdfs using Mandarin font so I'm not sure if the language is related to the problem.
I would be extremely grateful for some help with this please!
Thanks! -
Overprint preview in Adobe Reader
Hello,
Is there a way to preview colour separations in Adobe Reader (overprint preview). I create Illlustrator files with overprint preview and save as pdf for my customers. When white is on top you can't see the other colours underneath.
Adobe Acrobat is OK with this because it has an option to preview colour seps.
Would appreciate a reply on this as my customers are not happy
Best Regards
RonIs there a non-confidential example of this PDF that we could view?

I need to access a tax form from my state's tax website. The site will not allow Mac Preview to open any pdfs on the site. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader downloaded on my iMac which is using Mac OS X 10.6.8 The state's support guide says to make certain my internet browser (Safari) is set to open all pdfs with Adobe Reader. How do I do this? Thanks in advance for helping.
I think you solved my problem! Upon following your advice, I first got a message that I had not allowed a connection to the Tax dept computers, which would prevent the file I need to fill out from being e-filed. I proceeded to then open the file at the top of which was a security banner at which I chose the site as safe. I then filled in the first line of the form which autofilled other lines telling me I was connected with the tax site. In a few days when I have the data I need, I will actually attempt to file the return. If there is a problem, I will send another message. Thanks so much for your assistance!

My .pdf files and also Word documents are opening in Preview, which isn't usually a problem, but I have a .pdf file of sheet music that does not come out at all right in Preview. It looked fine when opened on my mother's PC.
Also when the Word .doc is a chart (spread sheet?), Preview makes a big mess of it. At least in this case I can drag the Word .doc to an Appleworks page and then Appleworks will open it properly
How can I change my preferences so that these files will open adobe reader and appleworks when I click them?L Huffman,
First of all, Welcome to the Discussions!
Try to select one of files in question by clicking once and then press the key combo command + i or go to the File menu and select Get Info.
Once the Get Info pane is open drop down (if not already in the open position) the disclosure triangle next to "Open with:" and change the application that will open "this" file. To change all files of the type make sure to click on the "Change All" button.
That should do it....post back if that is not what you are trying to do.

Preview vs Adobe Reader (Technical issue)
/ Disregard, Answer Found!
After installing "Adobe Reader", preview is no longer "highlighted" as an option for viewing PDF's.
I placed the reader files from the applications folder into the trash; that did not solve the problem.
What files in the applications support folder are part of the adobe reader program? Would any remaining files there prevent Preview from being an option?
Any other files in the system library preventing this?Hi Walt, Fruhulda,
I'm not sure I'm getting this.
The Pages file is 300 dpi.
When I 'export' and use 'best' to create a PDF, that PDF is not 300 dpi, it's 72 dpi.
So bringing it into Preview and 'saving as' a quartz filter 300 dpi isn't going to recover the lost quality. When I try this my 14 meg file (from Pages to it's version of PDF) is reduced to 2 megs when converted BACK to 300 dpi via Preview. The end result as far as I can tell is a really raunchy 72 dpi looking document ... and my drop shadows (a luminous blue in this case) have been partially chopped out of the picture.
There doesn't appear to be any way to 'save' anything in the ColorSync Utility. I can 'lock' the new version. I did notice that if I closed and opened the ColorSync, the changes (adding the 300 dpi) had actually disappeared. So now I've 'locked' the changes; we'll see if that helps.
But there is no way to 'save' anything. And the new Generic PDFX-3 (300dpi) doesn't appear in the Pages 'print to PDF' choices. Now I can 'edit menu' and supposedly add new choices ... if I knew where ColorSync might be storing these quartz filters. But I have no idea. No general searches bring up anything.
I've been using a quartz filter I got from France, which I store in - adim / Library / PDF Services. But there are no other .qfilter files when I do a search. -
How do I change the reader from Quicktime to Preview or Adobe Reader?
My Safari wants to open .pdf files in Quicktime rather than the preferred Adobe Reader. What and where can I change this back to making Adobe Reader the default reader?

Inconsistencies Printing pdf's in preview and adobe reader
Hey, we have been having a lot of trouble recently printing pdf's, the quality varies depending on the app we print with.
Preview seems to give the best results where as Adobe Reader seems to make text pixelated as tho there is no anti-aliasing going on.
We would switch to using Preview only in some cases we are finding it dos not display the pdf's correctly e.g. there are random lines draw round text and things like that!
Any help would be great, we are using an OKI C5600 if that is any help.Select a PDF file in a Finder window and click the More Info button; the pop-up information will let you specify the app it should be opened with, and allow you to click "change all" to use the same app for other files of the same type.

How does preview use adobe reader
I use QuickBooks for Mac for the company accounting. Our Intuit online payroll service calls up a report and i attempt to "view" or print. Lion cannot find the Adobe Reader. It worked just fine when i had Snow Leopard installed. Did Lion relocate the Adobe App in the file structure? I need help "remapping" the payroll service report tool to find the Adobe reader function.
thanks...steveAdobe Reader should reside inside /Applications. Installing Lion should have no affect on it. Preview doesn't have anything to do WRT AR. If AR's not on your machine, DL, and install it: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html

I have designed a report using IReport tool with some text as BOLD, which generates report in PDF format. when i open the file with Adobe Reader IX it opens perfectly.
but the problem is when i open the same file in mozilla add-on "Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37" and in previous versions it does not displaying the bold fonts.Is there a non-confidential example of this PDF that we could view?

Preview/Adobe Reader help!
Hey everyone!
I'm trying to scan my notes into my computer, so I'm scanning them in a page at a time and I was wondering if there was any way I could combine all the separate PDF documents (1 per page) into 1 PDF document with several pages. Can I do it in Preview? Adobe Reader? Photoshop Elements? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!You can drag multiple PDFs into the Preview's sidebar to make one large PDF.
There is also Combine PDFs
<http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.info/Freeware/CombinePDFs.shtml>
It gives you more control, and can handle image files, as well as PDFs. -
Hello,
Our buisness program has a built in Fax program that uses Windows Fax and Scan, when I send our priclist to 243 companies each week a print preview from Adobe Reader pops up each time. How can this preview be turned OFF?That depends upon the fax software, not Reader.

Unable to fill in forms in Preview & Adobe Reader 8.1.1
On my iMac G5 this feature does not work at all, on the iMac G4 it works fine in both Preview and Adobe Reader. Message says:
Adobe pdf viewer Safari Plug-in missing.
Please help. Thanks!Did that with no success. Tried creating another user and ran repair permissions.
After trashing the old AR 8.1.1 and res-installing it I still get the following message:
"Adobe Reader has detected that there are missing components that require repair. Select the optional components you would like to repair and click Continue. Deselect a component to completely remove it. Click Cancel to cancel the component repair process.
Box selected √ "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDF's within Safari."
I clicked Continue, waited a few minutes and nothing happened.
The weird thing is that Preview never had the capability to use the text tool either. Something is clearly missing. -
How do I send a PDF fillable form from Adobe Reader Acrobat?
I just installed Adobe Reader in my iPad to send a fillable form but as I sent it out the form is received blank by the recipient. How do I save the PDF fillable form and send it out with the filled out information. I am able to save it in Acrobat but for some reason I send the form but the recipient receives it blank. What can I do? Thank you for your help.
Your recipient needs to use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to reliably view a filled form. Chances are they are using a third-party, substandard PDF reader like Apple Preview. Adobe Reader is a free download; if necessary, you could provide them a link from the Adobe website.

Adobe Reader 9 incompatible with keynote pdf export files
Dear all
I've been creating lectures using keynote for quite a while and it has been working fine. I'm relying on using pdf export for my students to print out my lecture notes.
However, since Adobe Reader 9.0, my exported pdf files do not appear right on Adobe -- they look perfect using a pdf viewer but not with Adobe Reader (they seem fine with Adobe 7 !!)
It's a pretty bad situation, IT services are of no help and don't know why this happens (and are unable to provide another pdf viewer for University computers). I might have to start using a different programme which I really don't want to do.
Does anyone have the same problem?
I can export as ppt (loosing some of the nice layout) and quicktime but that's not really a proper alternative.
Btw it was tried out on a number of different University computers (and sometimes, the disappeared text, appears when highlighting the document)
Any help much appreciated.
ThanksI just DL'd the newest iWork, with KN 5.0.5, and have Reader 9.4.1. I exported a few of my KN presentations to pdf, and the result was fine with both Preview and Adobe Reader (but then, I had no problem before the update, either). So whatever the problem is, it's not universal.
But I might still suggest a possible solution for those who are experiencing the problem (which I can't test conclusively, since I don't have it): Once the KN has been exported to pdf, open the pdf file with GraphicConverter, and then save it as pdf (to make sure I was saving a whole new file, and wanting to test it against the original version, I changed its name a bit). For me, again, both Preview and Reader open the new pdf file fine. But my theory is that saving with GC might possibly alter the file sufficiently to make it good for Reader, when it wasn't before.
