Preview pdf problem in Bridge CS4

Hello,
When I want to make preview prints from PDF files sometimes I see double pages, and I think one is a low resolution file and the other is a high resolution file. So I have a problem to make previews of these double pages in Bridge CS4. Does anybody know this problem and how can I solve this, any help with this is very welcome. I can open the file in Acrobat Reader and I just see one page!

You must have done a screen shot of the thumbnail as the enlarged version is same size. But can still see difference.
I would revisit your thumbnail setting and make sure it is HQ Iif you want to see edits in thumbs, and check the default ACR setting. Don't assume they are the same as computer can do unexpected things.
Read the link I gave in post #1 as see if you have all the correct options selected.
When you click on thumb does the preveiw panel show the same dull image or a correct one?
It is possible the update fouled everything up, but seems like there would be more complaints. I am still on ACR 6.4 however. Am a slow adopter.

Preview PDF problems (Pages too)

On my shiny new MBP 15" Retina, when I look at many PDFs and scroll the fonts get smudged (for lack of a better word). This is really annoying, and the only way to fix it is to scroll that text past the top and then back so it gets redrawn. It seems like an arithmetic problem in the font arithmetic. I thought it was just a problem with PDF, but I see it in Pages too when writing letters (I use LaTeX for work, Pages for letters). It appears worse the smaller the font, and seems related to smooth scrolling, hence my belief it is just an arithmetic problem.
Look at the top of the second line of text in the attached image. It is is not the most egregious example, but a convenient one. When it happens in the middle of a line of text it becomes completely unreadable.
So, Apple, the Retina is awesome. But PLEASE put some effort into the code so that these rough edges go away. The reason I buy Apple is I expect stuff to work right. I'm paying a premium for quality, not because I am some hipster who buys Apple for the same reason be drinks PBR.

So yeah I experience the exact same problem on my new RMBP 13'' (screenshots here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20925037#20925037)
It doesn't really matter what desktop programme you use for reading PDFs, it gets distorted everywhere. I mostly read on Preview, but tried others as well, and they produce the same issue (except when reading PDF in Safari, or Chrome, then its fine).
Do you think if it's an arithmetic problem it can be fixed by a software update? Or is it something we'll have to get used to and live with, from now on?
I didn't have time to visit the Apple Store so far to ask them, but I'll definitely do so.
Maybe it's just a problem with our particular Macs, and not with all RMBPs?

Problem with preview PDF files on Windows 7 32bit

The files are allright, but if I select a file and click on preview mode after ~ 10sec operation system write something "Preview this file is corrupt for PDF Preview Handler wrong". On other 64bit computers with same programs the preview is work. I try uninstall all Adobe soft (Reader, Flash), clean all Adobe data from folders in root and in register, but it is not solve this problem. On Microsoft forums wrote me, that the problem is probably with AR plugin.
So, can someone help me?

Thank you for help.

I think I figured it out after reading other forums. Thanks!

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

Preview PDF tab unavailable on Designer 9 with Reader 9

Hello,
I just begin learning LifeCycle and I have a problem viewing the preview PDF tab in the designer.
The problemlooks the the same as discribed ther : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331391.html
But, I checked the solution and the check box they suggest to check is already checked.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In this situation it sometimes helps to open Reader (or Acrobat) first AND THEN open LC Designer.
Not a full solution. If you search the forum, people have proposed more robust solutions.
Good luck,
Niall

LiveCycle Designer 8.0 preview pdf issue

Is anyone having a problem when creating a form, then using the preview pdf to check the layout? Everything is showing up, but you can't do anything, such as filling in fields,drop down the lists, check radio buttons, etc. If I save the file, then open it up in reader, everything works as it should.
Mark

Hello Mark,
It sounds like the PDF is rendered as a non-interactive form.
1. Go to File | Form Properties.
2. Click on the Defaults tab (could be Preview tab if using newer version of Designer).
3. Set the Preview Type to Interactive Form.
Does this resolve your problem?

Preview PDF causes fatal error

Whenever I click on the Preview PDF tab, I get a visual c++ debug popup window saying that the program has terminated "abnormally". Is there a known bug, or is this an isolated issue with my installation? My work around is to just save the document and view the pdf in adobe reader.

Hi,
Do you work with the Designer opened for a long time ?
Is your form too long ?
Do you do frequent copy-paste operation in the script?
Do you have many depenedent fields?
If your answe to these question is yes, then there might be problem in your form. I have also experienced this kind of problems.Below are few discussions which may help you.

After the latest update 10.9.2 my macbook pro wont preview pdf in safari or chrome?

After the latest update 10.9.2 on my macbook pro I cannot preview pdf in my browsers (safari and chrome), I can save the pdf and view it later though. As an example I cannot preview it in my gmail, instead of adobe little icon there is a question mark.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

PDF problem part 2...

I guess a lot of people are having pdf problems.
When I export a pdf of a Travel Journal doc and view with adobe reader 7.0, the borders on the photos are not there.
What is the word on this?
As you can see I don't have Tiger /PDF-X.
Thanks

Not certain if this is quite the same thing, but.......
I have found problems when exporting to pdf, not when I open in Preview but when the person I am emailing the file to opens it in Acrobat, as all drop shadows are then lost, this makes professional printing difficult.
Resolved it for the moment by:
1. exporting to pdf as normal
2. using Graphic Converter which comes bundled with OSX to create a PSD file and sending that electronically. Slight problem was that the size of the file increased from 3mb to about 27mb, so had to download a free copy of Cyberduck ftp programme too. In fact saving it to jpeg was just about as good.
3. you do have to do one page at a time but it works.

Preview pdf shows different borders/ top and bottom

in iphoto, made a book, the preview pdf is not matching the book created, in a way that some top and bottom borders are NOT bleeding off the page, however in the iphoto book layout the entire photo is bleeding off the page. any ideas on pdf? I'm wondering if the pdf is showing the trim and bleed crops.

Hi,
Thanks for the advice. Here's the latest with my 'black borders top and bottom in iMovies' problem:
I found out that if I converted the .VOB files into .DV files (using MPEG Streamclip) instead of converting them to Quicktime files, then when I import these .DV files into iMovies the black borders are no longer there. So it seems like the problem was something to do with Quicktime files in iMovies.
But then there was another problem:
After waiting quite a while for MPEG Streamclip to finish it's work of converting the .VOB files into .DV files, and then waiting a bit longer to import the .DV files into iMovies, I was ready to work on editing the clips. But whenever I added either a fade in or fade out to a clip, I saw that during the time of the fade in or out, the picture was all distorted with thin vertical lines running through the entire picture.
So I had to do more trouble shooting:
I went back to MPEG Streamclip to have a little play around in there. When I made the .DV files before I used the compressor setting DVC Pro 50, so I changed this to the DVC Pro 25. I made a short .DV clip using this compressor and tried it out in iMovies and there was no problem with the vertical line distortion. Just to make sure I made another small .DV clip using DVC Pro 50 as before, imported that into iMovies and again, during the fade in/out effects this distortion came back again. So it seems like I sorted that problem out too.

Printing of Preview pdf Files

September 7, 2006
When using Preview, pdf documents that have multiple pages, some being portrait and some being landscape there are four problems that I do not know how to work around, Any suggestions would be appreciated.
1. Preview does not print the full page for the portrait pages when portrait is selected.
Q1. How can I prevent Preview from truncating a portion of the left side of the page?
2. Preview does not print the full page for the landscape pages when landscape is selected.
Q2. How can I prevent Preview from truncating a small portion of the bottom of the page?
3. Preview does not automatically select either portrait or landscape for a doucment that has both typtes of pages.
Q3. How can I configure Preview to automatically select the portrait or landscape mode as appropriate for each page?
4. Adobe Reader has features that automatically take care of all three of these problems.
Q4. How can I configure Preview to do the same?
Q5. If this is impossible I will have to move back to Adobe Reader, but then I ask the question why Apple provides Preview at all?
Thanks for your help and guidance on this subject.

This has come up previously, and it's a limitation of the printing system that Preview can't handle documents with mixed orientation. The solution, until Apple addresses this, is to print out the different orientations as separate jobs. Going back to Acrobat is probably a better solution.

Preview PDF in Livecycle 8.0

I have just had Adobe Reader version 9 installed on my work laptop and i now have an issue with the preview PDF tab, a message comes up with an error saying i have to have reader version 8 or 9 installed.
Hope someone can help
Graham

No answer but i have a similar problem. I read on a forum that an ActiveX setting may have been disabled and a reinstallation (of LiveCycle)would reset this to default. Is there a better way?

Previewing pdf files in Windows 8

I have a new Samsung Ulimate laptop with Windows 8- Nice machine but not fit for purpose as I cannot preview pdf files in Windows Explorer- every file just has the pdf icon with no preview and only the filename to differentiate them. Is this a known problem. Is there a reliable fix?

Not for 64 bit systems, it doesn't seem it was ever expected to work.
