Preview vs Adobe

I need to print stamps from USPS. They require Adobe. I use Preview. If I do load and use Adobe, I can never get back to Preview. So, my question is there an easy way to go back and forth between the apps.
Thanks

Why not? There is nothing in the OS that will prevent you from opening either.

Sure, just open the one you want.
If Adobe Reader hijacks the .pdf extension, and you want to always use Preview to open files, select one, Get Info, Select Preview as default application, and click Change All.
Thanks

Don't have permission to delete files in Preview or Adobe Bridge CS3

Help!
I'm unable to delete image files in Preview or Adobe Bridge CS3.
Workflow:
1. Take a bunch of photos on my Nikon
2. Load them to my MacBook Pro, 10.6.3
3. Open them in Preview and right-click "Move to Trash" on the photos that I don't want.
==> this results in "Move to Trash Failed. Some files could not be moved to Trash."
4. If I open the bunch of photos in Adobe Bridge CS3 and command-delete the photos that I don't want
==> I get "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permissions."
I am logged in as the same user who loaded the image files.
Permission on the image folder start out at
me: Read & Write
admin: Read only
everyone: Read only
but even if I change all to Read & Write, I still get the same errors.
What's going on?????
Thanks.

Did you ever figure this one out? I'm having the same issue...

Pdf file will not open in preview or adobe

When I open a pdf on my dual G5 desktop and enter the password I get a blank screen in Preview and a "unrecognized token '38,ol' was found". I open the same pdf on my powerbook G5 and it opens fine in Preview and Adobe.
I recently did a clean install of the OS on my dual G5 destop an have the Above Reader 7.0.7 installed.
What preference or library files might I change or copy over from my laptop to get this to work?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

You wrote: " I shared the pdf so that I could open that same file on both machines. Same result."Sorry, I'm having a bit of trouble following this.
Earlier you noted you could open the PDF on one computer, not the other. Now it appears that by "same result" you mean that sharing the document with a second computer resulted in it not being able to open on the computer with which it was shared as well as the computer on which the document was received as an attachment.
So, can you open the document on one computer and not the other? Does it open on the computer with which it is shared, or the computer on which it was received? Or neither.
Please be as specific and clear as you can be. Thanks.
Good luck!

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,
Simon

Hi 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!

How to Show preview of adobe illustrator file on web browser

Hi All....
Is there any possibility to showing preview of adobe illustrator file on web browser through Flex or Flash or any other application.
If any kindly suggest me.

Hi Mylenium
Thanks for all your suggestions..
While Googling on this issues I come to know that Illustrator file can be exported in XAML format with the help of a small plug-in, and that XAML file can be use in Microsoft silverlight. Then we can preview our Illustrator artwork on web browser. Also we can select each artwork (line, point, shape etc) on design view (on Microsoft Expression Blend). This is what I required.
Here is a link for Illustrator to XAML Exporter

Sneak preview of Adobe Media Encoder

Check out this sneak preview of Adobe Media Encoder. It shows lots of improvements to importing. I like the way watch folders have improved. Check it out.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-technology-sneaks-2011/sneak-preview-of-adobe-media-encode r-improvements-to-importing/
What do you think?

besides the input improvements I would like to see also output improvements like prefix/suffix support to make mass conversions more convenient,
e.g. the original file is source --> the prefix is DJ --> DJsource for non music synched files and
another prefix would be WALL --> WALLsource for music synched files;
If this is too abstract --> think about different versions of the source file (e.g. different colour grades, versions, etc.) where you only activate/deactivate different effects.
The suffix suport is for different output formats/speeds, e.g. the file source in DJ nonsynched music modus encoded in MPEG4 would result in DJsourceMPEG4.
My suggestion would be to implement this feature at least on the watch folder level (which I understand is multiple now) --> not to jeopardize the classic interface.
If you have other ideas for automated mass conversions --> pls feel free to share

You have to change your page design so the link doesn't occupy the full screen of your content.

Adv. of Preview over Adobe

What are the adv. and dis. for Preview and Adobe? (besides that Adobe can read some files that Preview can't)
Does Adobe also have bookmarking feature like Preview?

I personally much prefer Preview to Adobe Reader (AR) in most circumstances, shroudlupe.
Firstly, Preview uses less system resources / CPU time / Memory/ HD space than AR in most circumstances.
Secondly , Adobe's "update" system is heavy handed and invasive. I don't like the way it wants to continually install its own plug-in for viewing pdf files in Safari whenever I want to just update the reader itself, for example, requiring browser restarts etc in the process. Sure I want an updated version of the Reader when it arrives, but I don't want to have to tell it that I don't wan't to use it in Safari all the time (I much prefer the built in capabilities of Safari + Preview for such things).
Thirdly I find the user interface much more cluttered, clunky and less intuitive than Preview's .
Fourthly I find the bookmark feature in Preview very handy indeed and I like the more powerful sidebar options in Preview.
Fifthly I like having the ability to scan directly into Preview, to use it for screen snapshots, import directly from cameras, etc.
I'd personally do away with Adobe Reader for good if it wasn't for the very occasional file that it can handle that Preview can't.
But to each their own!
Cheers
Rod

Scanned Documents not previewed in Adobe Acrobat

Until recently when i scanned a document Adobe Acrobat would open with the scanned document. But, It just now started opening up the preview in Adobe Reader. I clicked on "set to default" now it doesn't open any kind of adobe program.i went to the "HP Printer Assistant" and both "Document to email" and "Document to File" both have the "Show Scan Preview" box checked.How can i get the machine to open Adobe Acrobat with the scanned document like it did previously

Hello cfmutton911, Welcome to the HP Forums. I see that you are having an issue when attempting to preview in Adobe. I have seen similar issues with Adobe in the past. I suggest that you check the Adobe site to see if any updates have been added. If you have done any Windows updates recently, you may want to try to do a system restore on your computer as well. Here is the link to the Adobe support site. Thanks for your time. Cheers,

FFX file preview with Adobe Bridge

Hello all,
I did post a similar thread in the Adobe Bridge Forum but I thought that possibly the AE comunity may understand my problem a little better.
I wanted to begin learning After Effects CS4, unfortunately Adobe Bridge CS4 is halting my education.
My approach to viewing the presets, I begin from within after effects, I click the drop down tool bar on the right hand side of the [effects & presets] panel, I then click browse presets
If I explore any kind of After effects CS4 preset, and preview it inside of Adobe bridge, my pc freezes. The preview window, within Bridge CS4 turns blank white while it freezes,
the Windows toolbar of Bridge CS4, says not responding temporarily, if a wait a little while around 30-45 seconds I regain control of my pc again, the preview box occasionally will show a still image and sometimes it will stay white or flickers. If I do wait the 30-45 seconds the toolbar window no longer says 'not responding' I can click to a (non) After effects preset folder, (for example) 'My family pictures' and it will operate normally but if I go back to the After effects CS4 presets again the freezing will occur once more.
What I find strange is that Adobe Bridge previewing, works absolutely fine for my photoshop documents, Illustrator documents, and any Jpeg photos I have, all after effect presets fail to preview, regardless of type if it's a still shape background or animated sprite, the same freeze issue occurs
I was wondering if anyone has helpful tips?
so far I have downloaded all important driver updates for my graphics card, my card is a nVidia GeForce 7900 GS 256, I have also reinstalled bridge and AfterEffects, I have downloaded the latest Quicktime player, I tried reinstalling it additionally.
I am a Windows vista user, also I have enough RAM I believe, just over 3 Giga
I dont know how useful the info is on my Pc spec is, but I thought it could be worth mentioning.
I have looked for a few hours to find some kind of thread with a solution, I have been unsuccessful, I hope someone can help.
Kindest regards Julian

Hi Mylenium, thanks for sparing me some of your time.
I did as you said, within my QT panel, *GDI only* sadly had no positive effect from my perspective, the freezing occured as it has always
For future reference is this setting how I should have it normally, or should i put it back on DirectX accel?
any other thoughts on what the problem could be?
regards Julian

Problems with display of preview - and Adobe's tech support.

Hello, all.
After quite a bit of struggle I am still experiencing problems with the way Bridge CS5 displays previews. Previews are displayed with rather low quality. By that I mean low resolution that causes images to appear pixelated and out of focus. I've tried every possible setting in Bridge (or at least I think I have) but nothing seems to work. The setting that forces Previews to be built to the specific monitor size of the computer used doesn't work for me as I spend equal amounts of time working between my Macbook Pro 17" and my Apple 30" cinema display that have different resolutions. I've tried this setting and the preview images created on the notebook would not display at all on the 30" display.
I have contacted support only to find it is nearly non-existent. A voice obviously from someone located in India answered and kept asking what I considered to be basic questions and must have used the word "apologize" at least 20 to 30 times (no exageration) during the 1 hour and 43 minutes we were on the phone to accomplish nothing other than to "register" my complaint.
What is happening to Adobe ? This is not a joke, a rumor or an angry comment but rather a serious question from a user who has built a professional workflow based on the use of Adobe's products. I have been an user of the Adobe Creative Suite since its very first version and of the individual applications even before then. Bridge is one of the applications I use the most in my workflow that involves the organization of my large database of medical images I keep from my treatments and research. So this is very serious to me. I am now on the phone with Adobe waiting again to speak with someone in technical support. I was told the average waiting time would take between 35 and 50 minutes and I didn't think it would be possible but so far I have been on hold waiting for 1 hour and 7 minutes and someone has yet to answer the phone. What is happening with Adobe ? Is the company about to go out of business ? The last time I remember experiencing such a lack of support from a company I did so when contacting Polaroid and we all know what happened to it.
To make matters worse I have twice contacted Adobe and asked their technical support agent to remove a phone number that they seem to have mistakenly written as a contact number in my files. More than one month after I registered my support request I finally received an e-mail stating that had tried to contact me at the phone that isn't mine and shouldn't be a part of my records despite the fact I have instructed them twice to remove. There are serious legal implications here as I am bound to confidentiality when it comes to the medical information I manage with my Adobe applications and the idea that someone in technical support may accidentally share this information with a stranger while calling the wrong number is a serious problem.
What is going on ?
Outside of this forum I have no idea who to contact and if it is even worthwhile doing so as it may prove to be a huge waste of time.
Bridge has been a problem application since its inception. In fact the only version of Bridge that seemed to have worked (somewhat) right out of the box was the first one. I have experienced problems with Bridge with every single new version. Previews that don't display properly, crashes, folder hierarchy indicators not displaying properly, and others. The same images display fine if I open them in Apple's OS X Preview or Photoshop CS5. The problem is restricted to Bridge. All images are RAW high-quality images from a professional Canon EOS 1Ds MK II camera with a 17 megapixel full size sensor, and they always look stunning on everything else.
What is one to do ???
Sorry about the long post but I am one frustrated user who doesn't know what else to do.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi again, Steve.
In answer to your questions:
> What view are you using for the Slideshow (centered, fit screen, fill screen, 100%)?
Centered.
> What is the slide duration set to in Slide Show Options, does changing it to manual help?
I have it always set to manual.
> What are you're Preferences> Advanced> settings for 'Software Rendering' and 'Monitor Previews' (checked or unchecked)?
I've tried both choices for both options. My usual default options are 'Software Rendering' unchecked as I have a new Macbook Pro (only a few months old) and the graphics card is powerful enough to handle the previews and 'Monitor Previews' also unchecked.
> What are you're Preferences> Cache settings for Options (Keep 100%..., Automatically Export...)?
' Keep 100% Previews in Cache ' option - checked
' Automatically Export Cache to Folders When Possible ' option - unchecked
> What resolutions do you have set for both the 17" MBP and 30" ACD?
Their native resolutions: 1920 x 1200 for the MBP 17" built-in display and 2560 x 1600 for the 30" cinema display.
> In the Mac System Prefs.> Energy Saver... do you have the Automatic graphics switching checked off ?
No. I have this option checked for both Battery and Power Adapter.
On Bridge's interface upper right hand corner I have also selected using one of its pull down menus the following options:
' Always High Quality ' and ' Generate 100% Previews '
Any ideas ???
Thanks,
Joe

Preview and Adobe fonts problem/missing in PDF

I have a PDF document that doesn't show some fonts. The PDF was displaying fine on preview and then all of the sudden the next day it got messed up. I didn't performed any update or installed any new app. The problem persists in both Preview app and Adobe Reader; at least Adobe tells me: "Cannot find or create the font 'BYGBIR+Helvetica-12-0'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Here's a screen shot of what it looks like.

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.

How do I change my default file reader from Preview to Adobe in Firefox 3.6.28

I have always used Preview as my default download reader, however now some documents such as utility bills can only be opened using Adobe 9 reader. My question is this, how do I change my default reader to Adobe 9 in Firefox 3.6.28, Mac OSX 10.4

Unrelated to your issue, it looks like you're using a very old version of Firefox. You should upgrade to the latest version, Firefox 11 -- just go to the Help menu and click Check for Updates. This link walks you through the process: [[Updating Firefox]]

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
Ron

Is there a non-confidential example of this PDF that we could view?

Issue While printing / Previewing a Adobe form in Web Dynpro ABAP application

Dear All,
We have designed 4 different adobe forms using SFP transaction for 4 different countries in SAP system.
Every country have different terms and conditions and therefore we have placed static texts (Hardcoded text) with text in different styles. Some text is in bold, some in different font (Bold, Italic). Font and Paragraph settings of the text was done as per expected. All the forms have same font and paragraph settings.
When we Launch Web Dynpro ABAP application to open the form in Print preview or to take print, form is not getting displayed / printed as it is designed in SFP. But if you open the form in SFP, everything looks fine.
It is working fine for 3 different forms but problem with only 1 form.
Kindly guide what is the reason for this strange issue when previewed or taken print. It is very urgent.
Thanks,
Bharath.K

Dear All,
Thanks for your responses.
We had identified the reason.
Customer has provided terms and conditions for all 4 countries in PDF document. Along with PDF, for 3 out of 4 countries customer has shared pre-prepared word document with pre aligned and justified terms and conditions as per expected outcome. We copied this text from word to Adobe form layout. It worked fine. For 1 country, customer have not shared terms and conditions in word document. Therefore we had copied text directly from adobe PDF document in to Form layout. Then this issue happened.
Solution for this issue is to, prepared a word document with expected alignment and justification of terms and conditions text . Then copied from word to adobe livecycle designer form layout. It worked fine.
Thanks,
Bharath.
