Resolution changed on PDF

I am using Adobe reader 9 on an XP machine.  Today the resolution changed on my PDF's.  I am not really sure why and what setting could have been adjusted.  Someone other than myself has used this machine in the last 48 hours and I'm thinking they adjusted something but I don't know what.  It's like the letters on the PDF's are more digitized, or not quite as smooth as they were two days ago.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can get my PDF's to look the way they used to?
Thanks for the help in advance.

The page display settings have been changed. Go to Preferences and set the display to smooth your line art, images  and set the Smooth Text to what is appropriate for your Display.

  • Adobe InDesign CS2 -  Why does the resolution change when I import a PDF file to InDesgin

    When I import a PDF file to InDesgin the resolution from the PDF changes.
    Any ideas?

    InDesign uses a low resolution thumbnail (might be the wrong way to descirbe, but easiest to visualise) to represent images/files placed into indesign. As InDesign is a page layout program it enhances the speed of the application as it doesn't have to draw the images in full detail, but rather just represent them in their size and position in the layout.
    There are 3 viewing settings, available through the View> Display Performance (for the whole document) or Object>Display performance (on an object by object basis).
    The resolution of the image from that point on relies on whether it was Vector or Raster, or in PDF and EPS cases, vector and raster. As already mentioned Vectors and PDFs don't contain a resolution. Vectors are mathematical equations that require the device outputting the image to draw them to the best of their abiltiy.
    PDFs are a wrapper for a file, it can wrap text, vectors and raster for output.
    But all the same, InDesign uses lo-res thumbnails to represent the PDF/Image/Object until ready to output. But you need to adjust the Display Performance.

  • Screen resolution changes after opening PDF in preview and is enlarged.

    Screen resolution changes after opening PDF in Preview and is enlarged.

    Do a backup.
    Quit Preview.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following. You may not find them all.

  • When I open Firefox my screen resolution changes and when I fix it on the computer it auto changes back in 10 seconds. I looked at the compatibility and nothing is checked. This started out of nowhere.

    I have used FF for about a year on my Dell Inspiron 15 and now every time I open it the resolution changes on me. If I close FF everything goes back to normal resolution. No problems with other browsers just FF. I went into the properties and tried to fix the compatibility but nothing was checked. I checked for any new updates that happened automatically but there haven't been any for days before this started. I have all my Grad school bookmarks on FF and I don't want to uninstall.

    This can be a problem with the localstore.rdf file.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
    Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.<br />
    Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window.
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

  • External display resolution changes after returning from display sleep

    I often use an external display as a second screen with my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.8.2)  However, when I return to the computer after the display has gone to sleep, the external display resolution changes when the display reappears.  Then I have to go into System Preferences > Display and "Detect Displays" in order to return the external display to the proper resolution.
    Does anybody know of a way for me to avoid having to do this every time my display sleeps?
    Thank you,
    Adam

    I have the exact same problem.
    I found the key combination ⌘ alt F2 also restores the proper resolution on both displays, however it's still a bit annoying

  • Explorer.exe hangs on resolution changes

    I seem to have to have a very persistant, very reproducable and very annoying problem with explorer.exe just completely "hanging" frequently. This started happening near the end of November, about a month after I used Windows 7 (professional x64) with no problems. To make a long story short, it happens nearly any time my display changes (resolution or anything else).
    Here's a more detailed description:
    Before late November, everything worked perfectly. I don't recall what could have caused the change. I uninstalled anything I installed during or after November. I do not have anything visible on my desktop. However, any time the resolution changes, explorer.exe hangs using 50% of my cpu, or 100% of one core. Clicking on the taskbar or desktop lets me know that "Explorer.exe has stopped responding", allowing me to restart it, which I occasionally also choose to do via Process Explorer. At first, I only noticed during or after playing games, but now I have tested this thoroughly and determined that it is in fact most likely a display problem, concluded from the following pretty exhaustive list:
    Unplugging my external monitor causes explorer.exe to hang.
    Plugging in my external monitor also does.
    Changing resolutions on either monitor, to any resolution, causes explorer.exe to hang.
    Changing resolutions on the internal monitor while the external monitor is unplugged also causes a hang.
    Uninstalling the ATI display drivers causes a hang.
    Changing resolutions with the default Windows display drivers between 800x600 and 1024x768 (the only two options) causes a hang. (Uninstalled and followed with Driver Sweeper so no trace of the ATI display drivers are available and the display is running purely on Windows defaults.)
    Installing updated ATI drivers causes a hang directly after the resolution is changed automatically.
    Unchecking all options in the "Perfermance Options" causes explorer.exe to hang.
    Unchecking all options but leaving visual styles on does not result in a hang (if it was on to start with).
    Turning off visual styles causes the display to blink briefly before displaying the "Please wait" box and, when it is finished and the desktop is displayed again, explorer.exe has been hanging approximately since the display blink.
    Running games that cause the resolution to change usually cause explorer.exe to hang, but not always. This is particularly odd. Opening the simple game Torchlight in full screen at 1280x800, does not pose a problem; however, Alt-Tabbing out of it causes the hang as well as closing it, which both revert the resolution to the desktop resolution (1920x1200). Running the game in a window is no problem. Running the game in full screen at 1920x1200 is also no problem, regardless of starting, using Alt-Tab or closing, even though the display blinks for a moment. Team Fortress 2 consistently causes explorer to hang when launching (hanging TF2 as well, until explorer has been killed). All goes well while TF2 is running, even with explorer restarted. When TF2 is closed, explorer hangs again. Thus, it always causes explorer to hang, whether opening or closing. In windowed mode, it causes no problems. I can give examples of a number of more games if it helps pinpoint the problem.
    The event viewer shows no errors or warnings after a hang (except for the standard ones that are generated if the "Explorer.exe has stopped responding" dialog shows up by clicking on the taskbar or desktop. If it is killed manually before showing the dialog, nothing shows up.) It does log some information specific to ATI functions in the ACEEventLogSource which seem to be specific to an explorer freeze. No information was generated when Torchlight changed resolutions without a resulting hang but the following was generated upon closing, with an explorer hang:

    Disabling all non-Microsoft Shell extensions (with ShellExView x64) didn't help.
    As of writing, I have the feeling it didn't happen in safe-mode but I would need to retest this to make sure.
    A clean boot yields no improvement. Changing the resolution following a clean boot still results in a hang.
    Using Process Explorer, I have also checked all non-Microsoft DLL's running in conjunction with Exlporer.exe and these were only db's (some related to BitTorrent), a Comodo antivirus DLL and a bunch of Broadcom Widcomm Bluetooth files. Thus, I uninstalled all of those including the bluetooth software and drivers, unfortunately, to no avail. Changing resolutions still crashes Explorer!
    My system is as follows:
    ASUS M51Va Notebook
    Windows 7 Professional x64
    ATI Radeon HD 3650
    Catalyst Version 09.12
    DirectX Version 11
    Direct3D Version 8.14.10.0716
    OpenGL Version 6.14.10.9232
    Internal monitor Generic PnP Monitor at 1200x800 32bit 61Hz
    External monitor Samsung SyncMaster 2433BW/2433GW, SyncMaster Magic at 1920x1200 32bit 59Hz connected by an HDMI to DVI-D cable
    Anti-virus is Comodo
    If any more information is needed I'll gladly provide it! This is truly a very aggrivating problem. Particularly when gaming or hooking up displays for presentations etc. I really can't think of any thing else that could be meddling with Explorer, causing it to crash. I would love to find the source of the problem, but I'm prepared to finally bite the bullet and reinstall Windows to get rid of this extremely annoying problem. Help would really be appreciated.
    If I figure anything out, I'll post the results.

  • Display resolution changes when I close Notebook

    Hello,
    I have a very annoying problem since I reinstalled the complete system of my Z60m (including all updates within the thinkpad system update utility).
    I configured 'Close Notebook Behaviour' in the energy manager to do NOTHING (neither hibernate nor standby) if I close my notebook cover. When I close it the display driver seems to interprete the closing as a removal of the display device and when I re-open the cover the ati display card starts with a resolution of 600x400, detects the native resolution of the panel (1600x1024) and changes it immediately.The problem is, that all open programs including the desktop are going through this resolution change too and everything gets completely cluttered.
    I already tried to remove all drivers and reinstall without Catalyst center (I installed only the drivers), but it didn't help to fix the problem. I also tried to inactivate PowerPlay and automatic device detection. This didn't help neither.
    The point is, that before I re-installed my system everything was fine when I re-opened the cover of my notebook, with the same configuration within the energy manager.
    My system details:
    Thinkpad Z60m (2531-E9G)
    Windows XP (SP3)
    ATI Radeon X600
    ATI Driver incl. Catalyst Control Center (Driver-package version: 8.383.1.1.3-070621a2-051036C)
    Any hint or advice regarding this issue is appreciated!
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards

    Hi R - J - C
    Are you using external monitor or have an apple video adapter plugged in into your mini dvi port, if that so, try to unplug that first.
    Also once you set it back to its native resolution, try not to go back there by check the "Show displays in menu bar" and you can change the resolution from there.
    May I ask why you need to go to system preference > display that often?
    Try to repair permission and reset PRAM to refresh it.
    Good Luck.
