Preview pdf links have black outlines

Hi there, does anyone know how to remove the black borders that appears around pdf links in Preview?
I created the pdf from powerpoint. The black lines around the transparent rectangle links only appear in Preview and not in acrobat for mac or pc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have run out of ideas.
Thank you

Did you manage to solve this?

PDF has strange black outline at printers end?

Hi all
I am trying to send a PDF of a book to a printing company in Japan (clients choice!), and I am doing everything I would usually do, supplying with crop marks and bleed.
When they open the PDF it seems to have cropped many of the pages and put a black outline around it.
I insert a screen shot (note this is page 7. Page 6 is NOT white, therefore it has removed the crop on the left side!)
Any advice gratefully received. At my end, some of the pages do seem to have a black outline for some reason on my PDF but they fall outside of the crop marks.
Thanks!

Preview PDF has a black and white checked background

Hi All.
I am trying to look at a map in pdf format which when opened in Preview has a grey and white checked background behind the black lines. this makes it impossible to read. i realize that I can open this in Acrobat Reader I guess but does anyone know what this is called and why it is there or how to get rid of it/
i realize it has something to do with layers or transparency but is there a good way to get a solid black or white background behind a pdf such as this in Preview?
Thanks for any advice.

When that student logs on go to the Universal Access preference pane and make sure the display setting is set to black on white, then go to the Displays preference pane and make sure it is set to millions of colors.
Those are the only things I can think of off hand that may be causing the issue.

Indesign document PDFs with Black outline around pages ... and ...

Hi guys
I have posted this problem in the acrobat section but have thought it could be an indesign issue also.
Basically I am PDFing an InDesign CC document with crop and bleed for a printer. For some reason, on some pages, it adds a black/grey outline to pages, and in some cases seems to crop the page so there is no bleed.
Any thoughts? Original post with image can be seen here: PDF has strange black outline at printers end?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Rob. This is not the case - I know this as other pages in the document have there bleed correct (5mm all around). I have resolved the black outline issue, but now have this bleed issue. On my screen the PDF looks fine but for some reason when the printer opens it, they do not get the bleed on the left edge!
Thanks

CS3 to CS2 conversion black outlines appearing

Hello!
I hope that someone can help, please. Our company has recently upgraded to InDesign CS3. However, when someone saves a file as a .inx interchange so that someone still using CS2 can view it, all the vector image files in the InDesign file then all have black outlines around them. I've seen this as a problem on here with PDFing before, but this is just when the file is opened and hasn't been PDFed at all.
Many thanks in advance.
Helen

Yes, we knew it would never be a breeze, but we've had other people who have been lucky enough not to have problems, so just wondered if it was something we were doing that was causing the problem.
Thanks, I'll try and get a colleague to make a screenshot as I'm just the IT fixer, I'm not actually working on the files in question.

Can't get pdf links from others to open in Preview

Just got new MBP w/change from Snow Leopard to Lion. When I clicked pdf link from friend, it opened a black page on Safari--the default browser.
This also happened sometimes before in SL, but I learned if I held down Control while clicking the link, it would trigger Preview to open the file. Not now.
Any solutions?
Thanks,
K

Thanks, Carolyn. I've checked several, and they all already have Preview chosen as the default. (Also evidenced by the 'Change All' button being grayed out & unclickable.)
The friend who sent the link said I should download Adobe PDF Reader since my MAC is brand new....?
In the past (pre-Lion on Snow Leopard), MOST pdf's would open In Preview without this problem.
I *really* need this to open: It's the manual for my new Sony RX100!
Thanks,
K

Please help -- SHADOWS APPEAR as BLACK OUTLINES when I EXPORT to PDF

Hi all,
I have designed a product catalog in InDesign. I retouched product in PS and dropped an "outer glow" and "drop shadow" Layer Style onto the products and saved them with a transparent background in a .PSD format. The files were then Placed into the InDesign document.
The pages print just as they appear when I print from InDesign, however, I would like to be able to email this document out to retailers, but when I Export as a PDF, the images with shadows appear as if they are stroked with a sloppy/irregular black line in place of the shadows...
Please help me resolve.
Could it be due to the compression?
Thoughts? Alternatives?
Thanks so much,
Andrew

Bob,
I'm sorry for the delayed reply.
Here is the catalog I designed. If you flip through it, you will see that some of the t-shirts have this black outline in place of the "outer glow effect"
I am using CS3.
My workflow was this:
Brought photo into PS > masked out background > deleted selected to Transparent background > Placed graphic in new layer over Tshirt image > Saved file as TIFF > Placed TIFF into InDesign document > Export InDesign document to PDF
Thoughts?

How do I view the ULR of a pdf I have opened in Preview?

How do I view the ULR of a pdf I have opened in Preview?
When I google something and find a pdf I want, I open it in Preview. However, when I go to copy the URL of the document to use as a resource in my homework, I can't figure out how to find it. Please help.

Browsers like Safari and Firefox have a contextual menu to allow you to copy a link to the clipboard. Point at a link. Right (contol) click the link to bring up the contextual menu and select the "Copy Link" (or similarly worded - "Copy Link Location" in Firefox, "Copy Link Address" in Chrome) . Then you can paste the link to wherever you want it.

Black outlines around images in pdfs from Indesign

I'm not sure if this is an Indesign problem or Acrobat. I have imported several photoshop files in which I have deleted the background around the figures. The background is transparent. When I make a pdf from Indesign, there is a black outline that appears, tracing the edge of the figures. Does anyone know what might cause this and how to fix. I have imported this kind of file many times with no problems.

Check if they're RGB in PS. I had this problem recently when exporting to PDF. It didn't show in ID file but showed in PDF. I converted to CMYK, relinked, and exported new PDF and the problem went away.

Thick black outlines on .swf in interactive .pdf

When viewing an interactive .pdf with a .swf embedded file, all the elements of the animation appear with a think black outline on some windows machines.
Anyone else have this issue?

Placing a SWF into InDesign, and creating an interactive PDF is a bad hack, or as my friend Sandee Cohen said yesterday, a "kludge."
Those of us who were initially excited about the idea have concluded that it's just not a good idea. The SWF file becomes like a movie file, and you have absolutely no controls over it.

Hi Gary,
I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
Please heck if the following reg key exists:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
Please check the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......

Rave

PDF links open numerous pages in safari instead of saving file or opening it in preview

I changed by mistake an application opening PDF links from preview to safari. No it's a catastrophe as when I click on those they open thousands of new windows and everything stops working. I changed default program for PDF files to preview, but it didn't help. Does anybody know where in safari I can change default app ? SOS

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
