Quirk with Preview

Ever since installing OS 10.6 I have been having problems with Preview. I receive large amounts of email with both .pdf and .tif attachments. When I open an email attachment with a .tif extension, Preview launches, I can see the attachment in the thumbnail but NOT the actual document!
Just today I discovered that if I launch Preview manually, then go to my mail app and open the same .tif attachment the document displays correctly. If I close Preview, go to my mail app, open the attachment and allow the OS to open Preview I get the same problem of seeing the thumbnails but not the document.
Any Ideas?

Indeed there are.

  • Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

    Hi guys, hope you can help...
    I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
    If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
    If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
    I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
    I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
    (this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
    Thanks for your help.
    DAve.

    maybe I'm onto something...
    I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
    It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
    Any more realistic ideas?

  • Problem with preview PDF files on Windows 7 32bit

    Hello,
    in my office I have a problem with preview PDF files on my computers. 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?
    Config PC:
    Windows 7 32/64bit Pro
    Intel i3, 4GB
    Adobe Reader 11.0.5
    Adobe Flash Player 15 ActiveX
    Adobe Flash Player 15 plugin
    Preview Handler Surrogate Host ver.: 6.1.7601.17514
    Thank you for help.

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

  • I have a mac air and an iMac and both have Pages. I use Pages on my air and save all documents to iCloud. I can see them on my iMac but it won't open with Pages. It becomes visible if I change it to open with preview but I can't interact with it.

    I have an mac air and an iMac 5k - pages runs on both.  I use pages on my air and save all my documents to iCloud drive. I can see the documents on my iMac but some won't open in pages which is bizarre? They will open if I change it to open with preview but then all I can do is read it  - I can't add to the document - All I want is to be able to see all my documents on all my devices and to be able to have them sync so I can add to the documents from  any of my devices. I also have an iPhone 6 and an iPadair2 but I would be happy just to have the iMac and macair sync for starters. I have folders within folders in my documents,. The folders which contain pdf's and individual files open OK . The one I am having difficulty with is the file which I use for ongoing correspondence - in other words it is quite long - I keep adding to it  ( by copying letters in and letters out so I can see a sequential history of what has been going on by scrolling down ) in date order so that it could be 1 - 100 pages long - but I don't think the size is a problem. I don't understand why some folders can open and others not . Has anyone any suggestions please. I have been trying to get this to work for months since iCloud drive came in. It has got much better but it is still not good enough  - or maybe it's me?

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • When I try to open some pictures in finder with preview I get a message that I do not have permission to open it.  It tells me to go to file - info.  Don't know what to do from there.

    When I try to open some pictures in finder with preview I get a message that I do not have permission to open it.  It tells me to go to file - info.  Don't know what to do from there.

    When you do Get Info for a picture, what does it say in Sharing & Permissions for your username. The Privilege should be "Read & Write"

  • Anyone else having trouble with Preview?

    I work with graphic files (pdfs, tiffs, jpegs) on a daily basis and use Preview extensively. For the past several weeks, Preview crashes multiple times/day upon the simplest of tasks such as opening up a small pdf file. This happens on both my office computer (brand new iMac with clean Yosemite install) as well as at home (mac mini with current Yosemite), so I'm thinking mine is not a unique situation.
    The beauty of it is that upon re-opening Preview, it automatically re-opens the file that caused the crash. When I close the image file, it crashes again - starting an endless cycle. Here's a portion of the output from the crash report:

    Problems with Preview
    Similarly preview hangs opening files

  • Can't import JPGs but I can open with Preview

    iPhoto 4, OSX 10.3.9
    I copied hundreds of JPGs (from XP) to OSX and tried to import them into iPhoto. I get an error message.
    "Unreadable Files
    The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type of the files may not contain valid data).
    If I open the image with Preview and then save it as a JPG, I can import it, however it is impractical to do this with the volume of images I have. Is this a known issue? Are there any workarounds?

    Just about anywhere else...
    iPhoto is a database and will import the pics to the iPhoto Library Folder when you add them to the library. It will not import pics from the iPhoto Library Folder as a protection against duplication. So, put the pics on the desktop, import them and trash the files from the desktop when you're finished.

  • Cannot change size of picture (in Ko) when saving with Preview

    Hello all,
    I need your help please.
    When I modify a picture with Preview, like resize it for example, then I want to save the picture, I cannot change the size in Ko like I used to be able to with Snow Leopard.
    Before, in the "Save as" menu, there was an arrow to decrease or increase the "weight" in Ko of the picture. This arrow is still there, but it does not show the number of the actual weight of the picture anymore (is it 400 ko, or 500 ko, or 600 ko, etc...).
    Anyone has the same problem ?

    I tried the steps you mentioned and found that this issue is also present in Previous versions as in PSE 10 also.
    I will suggest you to check "Convert Files to" check box and then select "JPEG Max Quality" from corresponding drop down in order to maintain the quality of your JPEG image.
    You can do it specially in case you are processing JPEG files and your image quality will remain same.
    Hope this will help you.

  • How do I crop a PDF with Preview.

    How do I crop a PDF with Preview.
    For some strange reason, when I crop a PDF using preview the rest of the PDF is still “their” when opened using other software.
    I truly want to crop a PDF and have the uncropped portions completely go away.  Do I really have to open Photoshop to do this?

    "there" not "their"  -  unless I am really confused about what you are doing !
    I put a white rectangle over what I wanted to crop out of the pdf I was working on.
    Not a  proper solution, i then needed to use "export as PDF" of my PDF so that the next user of the document couldn't simply lift off the rectangle I had put on the document to cover what ideally I would have removed.
    Add mark up is something else I tried, to black out the text that I wanted concealed, but we are limited to a slim choice of colours, not including black.
    I would like to see a function "crop" with "crop inside" and "crop outside" options. I am not familiar with Adobe or other software. Presumably since they invented it, Adobe is the place to go if you have repeated exercises requiring meddling with Adobe documents.

  • PDFs with Preview and Safari:

    When I open a web based PDF in Safari and then choose "open in Preview" where is that file that I am now viewing in Preview located? On the web still? downloaded to the hdd? I can't find it in a spotlight search.

    I had a similar probem after updating to the newest Safari -- and I posted that question on the forum this morning.  Like you, I didn't have any adobe plug-ins.  then I read another post that made sense:
    find a pdf document that you know opens in Preview. Do a command-I on that document's icon.  Then you'll see 1/2 way down an item that says "open with Preview" - click on the arrow beside that, then beside it you'll see "use this application to open all documents like this one"  Under that, you'll see "change all" -- and it will change all pdfs to automatically open with Preview instead of Adobe.From then on Safari worked perfectly
    Then I wondered why I didn't have the Adobe plug-in that people were telling me to disable - so I downloaded Adobe Reader again - looked in the library and sure enough there was the plug-in - so I went ahead and disabled the Adobe pdf plug-in (by dumping it in the trash).
    so far so good -- first time that Safari 6.02 has worked for me since I installed it.

  • How to work with Preview in Lion (autosave, etc)

    Just installed Lion and am tweaking and adjusting. 
    Run headlong into Autosave/Versioning with Preview.  Was very used to using preview to quickly look at and play with adjustments to images (but used Photoshop for heavy lifting).  Most of the time, I discarded any adjustments that I made in Preview (i.e. I didn't save them).
    Was surprised that Lion autosaves anything that I do to an image in Preview.  So, how does one work in this environment.  Avoid Preview?  Always do the extra step of reverting to an older image before closing Preview (is it obvious which version to revert to?)?  Something else?  I don't see a way to turn autosave off.  On first blush, this seems like a Misfeature.  Not just for Preview, but for many things.  Is no longer safe to just play because all changes are being saved.
    I hope that I'm missing something that can bring back a more explicit workflow.
    I also noticed that Preview is really sucking up memory.  I opened a couple of images (small ones, < 1MB).  After playing for a while, the Preview app used almost all of the available 10GB of memory on my system (the system became really sluggish).  Is this a side effect of versioning?  I quit and restarted Preview and it freed up memory.

    Wondering how general the above advice is.  Only for preview, or all programs?  Time will tell on how well this feature works; certainly different as compared to other OS's that I might use during the day.
    In this case, I only opned a couple of small photos and made a handful of changes.  So, I don't know where all the memory went.  I'll be watchful.
    I've now unchecked "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".  But, note that this doesn't affect audosaving. 
    Feels like initial startup of apps (incl. preview) is a bit sluggish under Lion.  Perhaps due to checking saved state (a guess). 
    Apple isn't shy about changing things!

  • PDF document opened with Preview does not show french accents

    Hi everybody,
    I've got some issues with PDF documents opened with Preview.
    They show a blank space for all the accented vowels.
    If I open the same document with Safari, it's the same. But with Chrome, it works perfectly.
    I assume there's a problem with fonts, but, nothing wrong with fontbook (checked duplicates for instance).
    Last information : it looks ok within chrome on my Imac, but the issue comes back when I try to print from chrome app...the accents are gone on the sheet.
    Any idea ? I don't want to install Adobe reader...
    Thanks for your help !
    http://www.art-shots.net/

    I don't want to install Adobe reader...
    Why not?  It can handle some pdf's that Preview can't.  At least it's worth a try.
    In case you change you mind get it from here.

  • Pdfs print fine with preview, not at all with adobe reader

    this is a relatively new issue that popped up sometime in the last month or so. when i try to print any pdf document with adobe reader, to my HP laserjet P1505, i get the following error:
    /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed
    if i open up the same document with preview, it prints fine. i updated my printer software, and reinstalled adobe reader with no change. what gives?

    here's what popped up in that log just now when the print failed:
    thanks for looking at this!
