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.

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! -
A user's computer with Adobe Reader X isntalled (when viewing a PDF file) gets blocked at the top and on the left side. It appears that there are multiple toolbars at the top that are now just blank and a side bar on the left that stretches from the left side into the center of the document. The menu bar is also blank, the File, Edit, Options, do not show. I can tell something that appears to be tool bars are blocking the entire view, because if I zoom out far enough, the document will becom small enough to fit in the small viewable screen. The same view, carries over to the print preview window. If the user prints the document, it prints fine. Besides this, the computer and other programs works fine. I've un-installed Adobe Reader, re-downloaded and re-installed it, downloaded and installed the latest video driver, still having this issue. Computer is a Dell Otptiplex with Windows 7 Professional (32 Bits), 4 MB of RAM, and is updated with all Windows Updates. This user has been dealing with this for soo long, he does not remember when or how it started. The user is part of a domain that has a corporate antivirus and malware protection which I'd like to think would detect any virus if he caught any.
I'd really appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
Thanks,
VongCyberdawg,
Try to turn off anything that enhances speeds his video through the video driver. That is most likely the problem.. -
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.

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?
MarkAdobe 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. -
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.

Adobe Reader preferences issue, text stretched and zoomed in.
I have a user with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 installed and cannot change his preferences and always receives a "Screen reader" prompt when opening a PDF. The window is stretched accross the screen and the only way to close it is Tab - Enter. The preferences are the same way, theres no way to check the settings because the window is too zoomed in and the text is too large. I have already tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, deleted all the folders and reg keys to do a clean install as well as under multiple profiles. Same issue each time. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Any advice would be great.I believe I have seen this where an essential Windows font is removed.

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

Adobe Reader installation issue
The below image is the issue that I am having when trying to download Adobe Reader. I have internet connection. I have tried disabling all of my computer security in attempts to download Adobe Reader. I am running Windows 8.1 on a HP Pavilion. What could be going wrong with the installation? Also, I have tried doing the installation through Firefox, Chrome, and IE. Any ideas?

Adobe Reader Installation Issues in Windows 8
Hi,
I am trying to download the latest Adobe Reader release. The problem is that it keeps getting disrupted during install. I can't figure out why this is happening. Has anyone else experienced this issue while running the Windows 8 OS? I've been experiencing many issues trying to download executable setup files in Windows 8. Does anyone have a good recommendation on how I can successfully resolve this issue?
Thank you,
Cody

Lates Adobe Reader Update Issue
My Mozilla plug-in page says my Adobe Reader needs updated. Now I have the latest version XI 11.0.08. It does not need updated but this apparently is the Acrobat version which mine is 11.0.8.4. I don't remember having problems updating before but it is asking something new now when you go to update. It was asking for my system with a lot of choices to pick from. All I have is Windows XP so the only 2 things I saw that I figured were for me would have been Windows XP SP3 or 2 (64-bit). I know I have Windows XP SP3 installed so I picked that. Then it asks for language, picked English, then it asked for version. 2 choices, either Reader 11.0.08 English for Windows or 10.1.4 English for Windows. I knew my Adobe XI was 11.0.08 so I picked that. So when I went to install it said I already had it and finished. Still plug-in says it needs updating. Was I supposed to pick 10.1.4 English for Windows instead? They never asked these questions before. So I am at a loss. Technically I have Adobe XI 11.0.08 and this new one is called Adobe Acrobat Reader DC which can work on all devices (of which I have none). So perhaps I don't need to worry about it. I don't know. Thought I'd throw this out there for anyone who could help me. Also my Avast program says my Adobe Reader does not need updated but we're talking about the actual program, not the Acrobat part which I guess is different.
Same deal with my Java. Since I have XP the next update was for Version 8 but it said I could go ahead and install but it may not work now with XP. So I haven't bothered doing that and left it with Java 7 update 76.
Well thanks if anyone can let me know if I picked the wrong thing or not to worry about it.Hi FredMcD,
Thanks for the response but yeah I've gone through this before with the plug-in thingy. LOL! But what's different is it's saying Adobe Reader 11.0.8.4 is old and I have no idea what the new one is since it won't install but it's called something different. It's now Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
My Adobe Reader XI is up to date with 11.0.08 but on it too it offers the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC upgrade in a different place and when you click on it, it brings you back to the plug-in page all over again. It is something different from my Adobe Reader XI. So that's what makes this whole thing confusing. But, perhaps I shouldn't worry about it and thanks for trying to help!
