Preview show bad character size

Preview is showing bad font size(to big) in some PDF (no special font). the same PDF was allright in leopard and is good with acrobat.
You can see attached picture.
Any idea why ?

It won't solve your PDF problems, but I would un-install MacKeeper and consider un-installing SIMBL.

E-Mails preview shows junk character

Hello All,
I could successfully install 10.3.1.-1565 on my Z3 handset and it is working fine except that it shows junk character in mail if it has PDF, DOC or any attachment.
Can anybody advise take this issue at right level of BB official support.
Thanks,

I have done following steps but no changes have the same issue.
1. Navigate to OAM->Workflow Manager->Notification Mailer->View details in this page
2. Look for parameter called RESET_NLS change this value from 'YES' to 'NO'.
3. Bounce Notification Mailer.

Preview not showing in actual size

When you open a group of images, select them all and make Preview open them in Actual size (Why oh why is there not a setting for this - to open all images in actual size!?), why is it that when scrolling between them using gestures just makes Preview show the image resized yet again?

Interesting...I don't recall seeing that pref in the past. I'm using v8.1.6 and it is there. "System setting" is 99 px/inch. And here all these years I thought my Macs were 72 px/inch but Acrobat believes it to be 99. Which also explains why at 75% they looked closer to actual size.
I changed that setting to 72 and it display perfectly. But, as you said, that setting on someone else's system is beyond my control.
Seems pretty screwy that Acrobat itself drives how a user sees a document rather then the document delivering it's actual dims/resolution. I'm simply surprised that I've not known this all this time.
It depends upon the resolution of the monitor used and the Graphics Card used in your system.
Usually it would be 72. but for example above in the Screen shot I showed my PowerBook 17" does infact use 98DPI.
I don't know whether you noticed the drop down box for Zoom level All I have shown is fit to Page but there is also fit to width along with percentages going all the way up to 200%.
If you want you can set back to 99 and change the zoom level you normally see when openning a file.

Maximum Character size of Front Panel indicator in LabVIEW

Hi,
I have a simple question that I hope somebody can answer. Is there a maximum character size that can be displayed in a Front Panel indicator in LabVIEW? If so, what is it? I have a VI that is continuously reading a serial port and updating a front panel indicator, and I need to know how much text can be displayed before it either truncates or throws an error. This is for LabVIEW 2010 SP1.
Thank you,
J Korn

A quick Flatten to string shows how LabVIEW stores strings {size-data} Size is a U32 so 4294967295 characters max.
The big thing to remember is this memory must be contiguous (and the Indicator requires a COPY) so in practice the performance hit for constantly allocating larger and larger buffers for the data and available memory impose practical limits much lower than the 4294967295 Char maximum. Probably better to log the data to a file and maintain only the last x characters on the indicator and use the file to look a history data

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

Here's what I've found on the issue:
Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

Acrobat PDF file not showing any character "i" only after an "f"

I have a file that was provided from an unknown origin. The original PDF is good. After using Acrobat Pro, 11 - every lower case letter "i" if used after a character "f" is missing. Therefore the view shows this: "See f gure #", or "the proper conf guration is", or "in case of f re". The font is Times Roman. The "i" character in error can be searched by using a copy paste of the bad character into the search field dialog box. It can't be replaced however - with a good "i" - by performing a search and replace. The (for lack of a better phrase) "invisible i" can be deleted and a new "i" inserted, but by performing a search, I have 6,700 of them. Doing them individually isn't an option. This document has gone through at least three editors hands, and re-doing what they so painstakingly did - and losing a large amount of work for what appears to be a software glitch is not the preferred option.
I've tried saving as prior versions of PDF, messed with Preflight, printed to a pdf, used different views, embedded / unembedded fonts.
There has got to be a fix for this.
Please help, and thank you.

Adding fuel to the fire... In a document that uses Times Roman as the font, the "i"s have been changed to Minion Pro. Upon further review, all letter "L" - lowercase is also missing, but only after the character "f". A document that says "have a safe flight" now says "have a safe f ight" and the word "reflected" is now "ref ected". The character "lower case L - l " has been changed to the font - Dutch 801 SWA.
I cannot select any of the invisible characters and change the font - as the fonts are greyed out.
Gotta be a fix... this is really bad, and not user error.

Why doesn't the PS CC font preview show font families any more? Now i have to scroll through 4,400 fonts every time!

You mean font previews themselves in the list? You can set the size and disable via Type > Font Preview Size.

Print preview shows me different colors

Hi, I'm Nevio from Italy.
I've bought a new MacPro and installed new Photoshop CC.
I've a big problem: when I have to print an image, print preview shows me the image but with different colors (there is a blue dominant and a different brightness).
I try to select another printer profile or document profile but there is no way to have the same image in the printer preview window.
How can i solve this problem?
(I also try to uninstall and re-install all the CC Software, the printer and all profiles but no solution yet)
Thanks
Nevio

Photoshop File> Print preview color has been flaky in the past, i wouldn't rely on it for color -- how does it print is the bigger question...
if it prints bad, how does your print profile SOFTPROOF

Cannot Screenshare (Bad rectangle size)?

Hi all,
For a long time now I've used screen sharing (and sometimes Apple Remote Desktop) to control my computers over the network.
Recently I haven't been able to connect to my iMac from any of my computers. The screensharing application opens, and does nothing. ARD says connecting, but stops after a number of minutes.
I took a look in Console and it gets FLOODED with "Screen sharing: zlib codec - bad rectangle size. Closing Connection"
All other computers on my network talk to each other file and the iMac can control everyone else fine, it just can't be controlled.
All sharing settings are enabled as they should be. I've reset network to a new location, reset PRAM, reset disk permissions and ACLs. I've pulled any relevant plist or cache files for screensharing, and still nothing can get control of this iMac.
To test it out, I got TeamViewer and was able to control the iMac from another computer on the network... however I can't use this as a replacement for ARD.
Got any ideas what that console error message is after?

Safe mode had the same results.
I'l try a reinstall later this evening when i don't need the machine.
I've made a screen cap of the issue. Does this ring any bells for something you might have seen before? (Just trying to avoid the reinstall).
This was filmed on the iMac in question while controling a MacBook Air that's attempting to gain control. That way I can show you both the results on the MBA and what happens in the menu icon on the iMac.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/muyzt812yevr5lw/Screensharing.mov
Funnily enough, now my MacBook Pro can gain control no problem. (MacBook air is 11", Macbook pro is 17" and iMac is a 27" with a 27" thunderbolt display attached... incase "Bad rectangle" has anything to do with it.)

Strange "MVS Codec - bad rectangle size" error when screen sharing

I've been having trouble when asking a user to screen share using iChat 4.0.7 (616). The audio part works, but the screen sharing part shows the other person's screen, but then hangs and I'm staring at a static image of the screen.
Looking at the system.log I find the following entry:
/Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat[1266]: MVS Codec - bad rectangle size - closing connection
I've searched, but so far I have not come up with anything. Does anyone know where this might be coming from?
I've already tried disabling Perian, but that didn't help. I have QuickTime 7.6 installed and I'm running OS X 10.5.6. I also use Chax 2.2, but I don't see how that would have anything to do with this "MVS Codec" I've found little information on.
I also have Flip4Mac version 2.2.1.11.
Thanks!

Hi,
I must admit I have not heard of this one.
iChat is supposed to use a process similar to Apple Remote Desktop to do the Screen Sharing and adds an Audio component to this (or rather the two run side by side as it were).
In fact if you have Developers Tools Install you get Property List Editor which will open .plists in a readable form and in com.apple.ichatAgent.plist you can see that screen Sharing is Enabled for the setting listed as Setting.BlockARDAvail
I have an older 17" Cinema Screen with the strips in the edging which is in 4:3 format. It just letter boxes screen images normally on a 16:9 screen if I share someone else's.
I am not sure if iChat taps in to ARD (Apple Remote Desktop) or has it's own "engine" to do this that is just based on ARD.
In Leopard an App was added to System/Library/Core Services which is called Screen Sharing.app in which you can do the same Screen Sharing but with out the Audio component iChat adds.
I suspect it is the latter of these two options although ARD was the base.
If you have another Mac you can use Screen Sharing.app to test that function.

Previewing Pages document in Preview shows page numbers incorrectly

Previewing Pages (5.2) document in Preview (7.0) shows page numbers incorrectly. Regardless of starting page number preview shows as Page 1.
Suggestions appreciated...

That appears to be YABIP5 (Yet Another Bug In Pages 5].
Pages .09 documents are fine.
No prizes however for finding bugs in Pages 5/5.2 it's swarming with them.

In two page view preview shows the first page on its own

In two page view preview shows the first page on its own. I have recently downloaded an ebook which has image based tutorials and the pages are in such a way that pages 3 and 4 should be seen next to each other. Preview seems to want to have pages 1 on its own therefore making this rather difficult. Any help on resolving this issue would be appreciated.

Try selecting the first page, and then from the "Edit" menu select "insert blank page". This should put a blank page at the beginning of the document, shifting all pages down one and putting them in the order you want for your display.

Preview shows only one page of article

I have a 23-page portrait-only article for which I can preview only one page. Normally it is the first page, but if I click on any other page, the preview shows that page -- but the slider on the bottom of Content Viewer shows only the first page regardless of what page is in the preview window. I'm a newbie at this, and this is my second article; the first one worked just fine. Put them together in a folio, in either order, and the "normal" one shows all pages, and the other shows only page 1. Any thoughts?
Jose

Silly newbies... I read some of the layout options in Plain English. Apparently, if the article isn't set to "horizontal swipe only" it's on vertical swipe only, not "optional." The Aha! moment came from accidentally brushing the mouse so that the preview scrolled upward, revealing the pages hidden below. Now I get it.

Preview shows blank pages

I've just received a 13 page pdf file. Opening it with Preview showed me 13 blank pages. Opening it with Acrobat showed me the pages as they are supposed to look. What's going on? Why can't Preview show the contents? (The file was created on a PC, if that's relevant, by scanning in the pages, but I don't know the procedure after that.)
I'm using 10.3.9, all updates installed, on a G4/1.25 PowerBook.

Hi Susan,
I can't explain the anomaly, but I experience similar problems with Preview when I attempt to view PDF docs that are created by my company, and also by a friend who is a missionary in Cameroon Africa (who I presume is using a PC to create the PDF docs...). I'm guessing that the program that creates their PDFs is causing the 'headache' for our version of Preview...
The PDFs created by my company will not be 'searchable', and most of the text of PDFs created by my friend will be unreadable by Preview.
Of note, an associate who uses Tiger, does not seem to have the same problems with his version of Preview...

How do I make preview show only one page at a time in full screen

When I show a document using full screen (or slideshow) in Preview, it shows two pages at a time. I just want to show one at a time, but can't find anything that lets me specify this. There is no relevant Preference that I can see, and if I check single page in view and then choose full screen or slideshow in view, the first page is displayed fine, but then subsequent pages are displayed two up.

Hi, Eric,
Thanks. It looks like I didn't quite make my question clear enough, though.
I want to show a multi-page document one page at a time. If I open it and choose "full screen" in view, I get the first page showing just fine. But if I then use the arrow to go to the second page, Preview shows two pages (#2 and 3), and then continues to show the rest of the document two pages at a time when I advance using the arrow.
I want to show one page at a time, and be able to advance to the next page using the arrow.
Can I do this in Preview?
Thanks,
Russ
