Problem viewing slideshow pdf

When I export a slideshow from Lightroom (1.4.1 Windows), using all default settings it doesn't display properly. The pdf files (viewed with Acrobat Reader8) has right number of pages (photographs), however the photos are not showing. Instead I see a grey box (the size the photo should be) with a red diagonal line. Tried all helpfiles, should be straightforward, what am I doing wrong????
Many thanks!

I apologize - I hadn't re-loaded the page to update my current design. And as soon as I did, it worked in chrome and IE - and the security warning is gone in IE. But the images did not show up in the dreamweaver chrome preview. Weird
Here is the page: http://brucebolander.com/SLIDESHOW/Index.html
Anyways, I still have some tweaking to do - but the slideshow works. It does do a weird shifty thing when a user clicks on the thumbnail images to bring up the large photos, however. It looks like it only happens with the more vertically oriented images in chrome, but in IE, until a user has clicked on every thumbnail & they are all 'loaded' (I don't know if that's the right word), the page shifts with each new click on a thumbnail. And even then, some photos still cause the shift.
I tried mucking around with the widths, but per the data.xml file they should all be 800px wide...not sure.
IE also places a black border around the header image - changing it to border:none in the css doesn't help.
If anyone has any ideas about these issues please post - thanks!

Problems viewing Combined PDF's in Preview

I work primarily in Photoshop CS5. All of my work is created there. My problem arises when creating and viewing compressed PDF's using "Preview" on Macintosh. The text is very funky. But as expected, Acrobat itself displays all files flawlessly. My PDF creation flow is as follows.
1. Save Photoshop Document(s) to individual Photoshop PDF's, without layers so I keep only one image and my vector data. (I always resize and save my documents appropiately for their intended use. I keep all file sizes to a minimum when creating a document for email use.)
2. Using Acrobat, I combine/merge my files, selecting the appropriate compression method for its intended use (Small, Medium, Large)
When I use the Medium compression in Acrobat, I encounter no problems through "Preview". All of my text appears as it should. Works great, but I'm left with a 26MB file.
When I use the Small compression in Acrobat (suggested for email) I have all kinds of problems with my text in "Preview". I would love to use this option as my files sizes are half of what they are at Medium compression.
I know that "Preview" is not a replacement for Acrobat, but Mac's default application for opening PDF's is "Preview", and many of the users that I deal with are not equiped with any Adobe software. Is there a fix? What is Acrobat discarding when it compresses the file for emailing?
I might add that the small version that is not displaying the text, still contains the text (I'm able to select it), it's just not visible.

The problem isn't with what Acrobat is discarding, but what Mac Preview is doing with the data available. The problem is with Preview. You cannot make a silk purse with a sow's ear. If Preview is doing a terrible job rendering a perfectly fine pdf, that Reader displays appropriately, there is nothing Adobe can do.

Problem viewing secure PDF documents in Preview

I have recently written an ebook that I would like to sell online. The original document was created using Pages and saved as a standard PDF. So far so good.
As a way of trying to protect the book, I would like to have it password protected, which of course I can do in Preview, however, to use a stamping feature on the server that would print the buyer's name and email on the downloaded book, I am told that I need to save the PDF as Acrobat 5 or later.
The problem I am finding is that if I save a PDF in Acrobat using any kind of security it fails to view properly inside Preview. The page contents are reduced to miniscule items that are totally unusable, but those same files open perfectly inside Acrobat.
So far the only way I can get password protected PDF files to open properly in Preview is if they are saved in Preview, however, I have found that these files are not compatible with the PHP stamping feature on the server that would add the buyer's details.
Does anybody with knowledge of Acrobat and Preview understand what is happening here and how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks
Ashley

I have no solution, but reassurance that this is not an isolated incidence. I also have a pdf that is password protected and opens properly in Adobe Acrobat, but only displays the first page in Preview... Hope someone can shed some light on this!

Thanks Phillip I tried that but it didn't work. Something really perplexing me though is why documents saved as PDF in Acrobat with a password for opening are completely failing to view properly when opened in Preview. Try creating a simple PDF document in Acrobat with a few pages and all you get is a huge blank space with a small black dot in the middle if you try to open that file in Preview. This was my experience and a friend has just tried as well with exactly the same result.
I have an ebook here that was password protected for opening and according to the properties it was saved as Acrobat 6, however this does open properly inside Preview and her one works properly. I've been through the settings though numerous times and I am truly baffled why it's proving such a problem. The book I have written is about photography and just about every photographer I know uses a Mac, so I cannot simply ignore this question.

Problem Viewing/Opening PDF from Outlook attachment

Some PDF files will open just fine. Other PDF files will give me this error: "Can't create file. Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder."
Can someone please help? I am using Adobe Reade version 9.4.1 and Outlook 2003.
Thanks!

Hi,
The workitem is not completed, it can be viewed if logged on to the SAP system externally (not from the Icon in outlook mail).
The issue is it cannot be viewed and the SAP screen hangs when it is clicked from the Icon in the Outlook mail.
Thanks,

Problems viewing downloaded PDF files with Adobe Download Assist.

How can I start using Adobe Down Load Assist, I need to view some forms in PDF format? & How can I change the way I view my forms?

Are you trying to view PDF forms? If so then you may want to use Adobe Reader. You can find the download for Adobe Reader at http://get.adobe.com/reader/.

Problem viewing slideshow in browsers

I'm still pretty new to Dreamweaver, so please bear with me. I'm working on a site with a slideshow, and the design looks great in Dreamweaver, but does not render in IE or Chrome. I should clarify that - it renders in IE but first a yellow rectaungular box pops up that says IE has restricted the web page from running scripts/ActiveX controls, and then even when I click 'Allow', another security warning box pops up. Not cool. In Chrome none of the thumbnails or larger images show. I used a spry slideshow and suspect something is wrong with the xml or js files.
The folder has xpath.js version 0.7 and SpryData.js version 0.52, s style sheet, and data.xml, which takes care of the images.
In dreamweaver, the page looks like this: http://brucebolander.com/PICTURE-SLIDES/PICTURESLIDESTEST.html, and the thumbnails link to the larger image.
The html is:

Having a problem viewing a PDF

I'm on a Mac, with Reader installed, and I'm running jhiltscher42/viewPDF · GitHub through Aptana Studio. I'm expecting to see the sample PDF, but what I'm getting is a white screen.

Had the same issue, removing all user prefs, plists and cache files fixed it for me.
There are a lot of them in different places, I had 2 goes.
The test here is if Acrobat works correctly in a new user account, if it does then have another go.

Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents

Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents
I have a Windows 7 Home Premium Computer
I have read all the suggestions and I have tried downloading multiple versions of Adobe Reader for Windows 7 and Vista from http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/.
Prior to downloading each version I would delete the current version using control panel programs uninstall.
After each new installation I would shut down the computer and then restart the computer.
I have tried downloading versions with and without having my antivirus (CA Total Defence) running.
I am told after download that the version downloaded successfully.
I have read Acrobat Help http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-reader-installation-windows.html and followed the instructions.
None of the above has helped.
The problem is no matter what version of Adobe Reader I download, I cannot seem to open a PDF and read it. Nor will the Reader itself stay open.
1. If I try opening the reader from the desktop link or from the actual program menu, the reader opens for about 5 seconds and then closes of its own accord. If I try to click on any of the reader menus (eg File, Edit, View, Window, Help, Tools) then a warning bell is sounded and the menu does not open. Shortly thereafter the reader closes.
2. If I try to open the reader by double clicking on a PDF document then the reader opens but the document is not shown (only the grey PDF reader screen is shown) and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
The desktop shortcut shows as the 'red Adobe Reader icon'. But the actual program menu icon shows as a blank folder icon. All PDF documents show as the PDF Adobe icon.
I have tested various PDFs and none will open on this computer but they will open on other computers.
I have created a word document and saved it as a PDF. It looked like it had save correctly (has the appropriate icon) but when I try to open it as per step 2 above then the document is not shown and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on and how I can fix this?
Could you please answer in this forum and email me at [removed]
I am so puzzled and frustrated.

Thank you so much this did the trick.
I spent so many hours on trying to sort this out and your answer was so simple and clear.

Acrobat X pro - Problem viewing PDF files in web browser

I've recently upgraded to the latest Imac and have experianced one or two teething problems with software compatibility with OS X 10.7.1 Lion (most now resolved)
My latest issue is viewing online PDF's which appear in my browser as just a blank black page. This happens in both Safari and Firefox (both latest versions)
My question is: Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

I was able install and view the files in adobe reader 10.1.1 and in web browser window 7 64 bit machine. But when I go to Edit-preferences-internet and unchecking "display PDF in Browser" , I am not able to view the pdf files in ie 9 browser. I have used this javscript to check for pdf version.
Immediately after installing adobe--
when I do adobe test in ie 9---https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html-- launches a test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf
After unchecking-- it stays in the https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html instead of showing test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf
Tried to go back to "display PDF in Browser"--it is showing it is checked(eventhough I did not check it)
and in ie
it stays in the https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html instead of showing test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf

Viewing a pdf in Firefox browser has white lines. How can I fix the problem?

Viewing a pdf document in the FireFox browser (other browsers the document is fine) shows white lines though the pictures. I have tried different ways to save the document (printing or save as) as a pdf and I either get white lines or missing content while viewing on Firefox.

Please update to the latest version of Firefox.
*[[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
Also make sure that your graphics card drivers and WebGl drivers are up to date
*[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Which pdf viewer are you using?
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac).
#In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Problems Viewing and Printing PDFs Created from FrameMaker

I got no responses to this issue in the Acrobat forums (I posted 6 days ago), so since at least some of the PDFs were created through FrameMaker, I am posting here to see if anyone in this forum has seen the problem.
At our company, we regularly create PDFs, usually from FrameMaker version 9. In most cases, we have no problems with the PDFs, but once in a while, we are notified that customers get the following problems:
If they try to print the PDF, they see a series of messages which consistently include "The document could not be printed" and "There were no pages selected to print." If they choose a page or range to print, this often works, but certain pages will not print. In one case, I saw a message saying there was a problem with the PDF with the number 14, but this does not always appear.
Often, the pages that will not print, when viewed at a normal magnification, appear as very small thumbnails that look like the dotted line down a black highway. The rest of the pages are at a normal magnification and can be read.
Often, these same PDFs crash when certain bookmarks are clicked.
This always seems to happen when the PDFs are viewed within a browser on our website or in our web-based software. I've been told by our tech group that it happens in other browsers, not just Internet Explorer, and it still happens if they save the PDF out of the browser down to the desktop and try printing from there.
In the cases I've seen, when I go back and look at the original generated PDF file in Adobe Reader or Acrobat (not within a browser), none of these problems occur. Redelivering the file to the web location often fixes the problem.
I've read many posts about this in various locations on the Internet and one in the Adobe Forums, but none seem to come up with the cause to this problem - they just come up with workarounds for printing the file.
One other note - one of our engineers and tech writers found that one PDF with this problem appeared to have Fast Web Viewing turned off, even though nothing was done differently when the PDFs were generated.
Does anyone have any information on what causes this problem and how we can avoid it?
Tammy

I'm not sure why, but my original post came through blank. Here is a
second attempt:
> Often, the pages that will not print, when viewed at a normal
magnification, appear as very
> small thumbnails that look like the dotted line down a black highway.
The rest of the pages
> are at a normal magnification and can be read.
I almost didn't reply to your post because I'm not sure that I am making
anything but a wild guess. But I seem to recall many years ago that
there were some reports on the frameusers.com listserv of some PDF pages
showing up as tiny pages-- similar to what you describe. I'm not sure if
I can trust my recollection, but I THINK the fix was to go into the PDF
printer properties, and reduce the dpi setting from 1200 to 600 or even
300. I don't remember the exact reason, but I think it had something to
do with a problem in the way Windows GDI interacts with documents
containing large-size type (such as 72-point glyphs). Anyway, I may be
remembering it wrong, or may be off on the wrong track altogether, but
it won't hurt to make the change and try. You can always change the
setting back.
And if it doesn't work, consider posting your operating system, Acrobat
version number, and whether or not FrameMaker 9 is fully patched. It
might help someone else chime in with help.
