Two pages look gray in preview mode, wont' export

Two pages in my document (a science text for kids) suddenly "went gray." They look fine in normal mode, but in preview mode the pages look gray like the background, except for the imported images which still have a white background. When I try to export and make a PDF file, those two pages come out as blank pages. I tried to delete the pages but they won't delete. When I click on the first page in the PAGES side bar, it takes me to the first page of the document and when I click on the second one, it takes me to the last page. I have no idea what keys I might have accidentally pressed. I don't even know the correct terms for the problem. Does anyone know what is going on? (This is a really important document for my business and is 250 pages long.)

How come that the design mode looks different than preview mode with slideshows?

hello,
I am placing a slideshow on the site. when I look in the preview mode the slideshow is not exactly in the same place.
How come? Am I doing somthing wrong?
thanks for response

Welcome to the medium that is the web. Every browser has it's own text layout engine and "web-safe" fonts are a misnomer. You cannot rely on text line breaking the same in different browsers. Thus creating text frames that snuggly fit the text within is likely to result in what's occurring on your site in some browsers or browser versions.
As a general rule, you should attempt to use Web Fonts whenever you can. Use "Web Safe" fonts as a second choice. And only use System fonts as a last resort and only for small amounts of text (since they become an image when output).
If you want a specific portion of text to absolutely never go to two lines, you'll want to put it in a text frame that significantly wider than the text so when the line length varies the text doesn't wrap to a new line.
"Web Safe" fonts are not a single font but actually a list/stack of fonts where the browser goes through the list until it finds a font that's available on the current viewer's device. The fonts in the list/stack are similar in visual appearance and font metrics, but any difference in font metrics is sufficient to result in changes in line breaks, so when using web safe fonts you need to account for much larger variations in line length and line breaking than will occur when using a Web Font.

Pages look fine in Design mode but Preview and Publish Distorted Footers

I'm experiencing some unusual issues with Muse. Footers on some of my pages are either not displaying content or distorting them..for example:
http://lawtechpartners.com/consulting.html
In muse Design mode it looks ok - screenshot here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11434055/muse-screenshot.PNG
But live and in preview mode the issue shows.
I went so far as to delete ALL the files on the server and upload the entire site and all files from scratch to make sure nothing was colliding.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Yes - I'm sorry I should have come back in and closed the question. It was all being caused by a very simple and short Google+ code that was to display the Google+ logo. As soon as I removed it, the footer rendered correctly. Here is the offending code:

<div class="g-plusone" data-size="medium"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
    var po = document.createElement('script'); po.type = 'text/javascript'; po.async = true;
    po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
</script>

Page looks different in Preview and Browser

I am using the Acordion Widget on the left hand side of my page and have inserted video from a third party to the right side.
When I click "PREVIEW", I see the page displayed as in the top image. When I click "PREVIEW PAGE IN BROWSER", it shows up as in the bottom image, which, by the way, is the way I designed it to look. Is there a reason for this discrepancy and which should I trust more? I'm not ready to publish yet, so how can I check it in a real world environment?
I'm losing the top and bottom "bookend" images around the Acordion Widget as well as the bottom button. And the video window and text are skewed off to the right.
Please help.

Abhishek,
Here is the code for the vimeo embed, plus some lines of code preceding it. This extra code contins the info for the graphic which is missing in the "PREVIEW" window.

Why doesn't the published page look like the preview?

I'm new to Muse and just tried to upload my first webpage. It looks perfect in the preview, but when it's published the whole background is missing and it's not placed in the way that I had planned. Does anyone know what I did wrong?

Impossible to help without the URL for the page.

Data doesnt show when report is run but shows in preview mode or exported to PDF

I have tablix and sub reports in that tablix.. When I run the report and go to the second page i dont see any data from the sub report... but if i export it to pdf i do see data in that spot...
What should i do to fix it? the page size for this report has been set for legal I have tried messing with the page size and removed the margins for the sub report...
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Karen

Hi Karen,
As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by Interactive Size. InteractiveSize is used by the HTML rendering extension to provide the equivalent of Page Size. Because the HTML rendering extension dynamically resizes a report to accommodate
drilldown, drillthrough, and show/hide features, the report server uses different properties to support pagination on dynamic pages. So please check the InteractiveSize of the report, make sure it uses the same size as PageSize.
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Chart disappears in preview mode

Xcelsius 2008

I recently upgraded to version mentioned above. I can see the data for the values in the chart in design mode but the chart does not show up in preview mode or exported formats.
Thoughts?

Hello
I upgraded to SAP Dashboard Design but face the same problem. I had traces of Office 2007 in 2 systems and removing it and repairing office 2010 did help resolve the problem in one machine but not the other. Still looking for a work around.

I did notice that the desktop PC has a different set of updates under Add/remove programs as compared to the laptop.

Can you confirm with MS Office 2010 update should be installed as part of the requirement?
Until then please advise.

Non websafe fonts appear low resolution in preview mode and in browser

I have a problem when using font that are not web safe, no matter which non webfont I use it appears low res and looks awful in preview mode, ex in the browser. I understand that font that are not supported are converted to images instad of text but why does that make them low res? Does the browser use have any affect on how it appears? I am currently using safari.
This is how the text appears: (Avenir is a non web safe font and Arial and Helvetica are web safe)

Hi Johan,
While exporting the images from photoshop, try to add 1% transparency and save them as pngs to prevent Muse from compressing those images. Let me know if that makes a difference.

Adobe PDF Portfolio - Preview Mode Displaying Incorrect Pages

I have created a PDF portfolio using the “Grid” template in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. The Portfolio contains three pdf files. I am getting the following problem when I open the pdf Portfolio in Adobe Reader X and XI and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.
Open the PDF portfolio
Click on pdf3
Preview mode displays the correct document and pages.
Close the preview of pdf3
Click on pdf2
Preview mode displays pages from pdf3,not pdf2 (see screenshot below).
Some observations:
If pdf1 has two pages, and pdf2 has ten pages, pdf2’s preview contains pdf 1 (pages 1-2) and then pdf2 (pages 3-10).
If I continue to open pdfs the preview contains pages from all the pdfs I have opened in the portfolio (this depends on how many pages the document I am currently previewing has). It is not just caching the last pdf opened.
Preview mode always displays the correct NUMBER of pages (i.e., if there are ten pages in a pdf, there will be ten pages in the preview. They will just be the wrong pages).
Turning off local page cache (preferences > page display) does not fix the problem.
Adobe Reader is up-to-date and Flash is up-to-date. I have replicated the problem on different computers, and in Adobe Reader X and XI, and Pro XI. I have also created muliple pdf portfolios from scratch to confirm the pdf portfolio itself wasn't corrupt.
Does anyone have an idea what is happening? Users are getting very confused when their preview shows them a completely different document.
Thanks for any help

We have the same problem. Everything's up to date. Adobe needs to address this issue!! The portfolio feature is a great idea, but this glitch basically ruins it. If you come by this page with the same problem, make sure you leave a reply. Maybe Adobe will actually pay attention if there are enough complaints.

Masters not applying to pages, discrepancy between design and preview mode

Hi there,
I am having a crazy time with Muse, please please help me... I see some of you have looked at the post, but no help yet. Please don't let me down. SOOO confused!
1) Master pages are not fully applying to the pages I assign, only parts of them.
Above you can see that the sub-pages and the "WORK" page all have the C-Master applied to them, but then you look at one of those pages and not all of the features are there.
Above is the C-Master page
Above is one of those sub-pages (coffee tables) with the C-master applied, yet the navigation menu is missing!?!?
2) Also the formatting is completely on the third image is completely wrong. There is extra space at the bottom of the page and yet I cannot move the page toggles to be the same as it is on the master. These formatting/margin/page size issues run throughout my pages and I cannot get them to all be the same! HELP!
3) The page looks different in the design mode than it does in the preview mode.
I am so confused and have gone through this from scratch once before thinking I did something wrong but I have had the same result.
Please help me!!!
Thank you!!
- Carly

Hi Parikshit,
The sticky footer sounded promising, but it didn't change anything. I still can't move those bottom toggles to be at the desired ruler mark.
As for the margins... Its my understanding that whatever you have in a master page will be applied to the pages you assign, but the content and spacing is different. There is no content that would push the page to extend further down, which I have seen done before. And because I cannot individually move the toggles I have no way of adjusting the spacing. I am going for a seamless look between pages, where the size and content of the page remains the same while the images in my portfolio change.
Even if I go to Page > Page Properies and try to enter the correct numbers, it still doesn't affect the page.
Does that clarify?
Also, I am running 7.1 on a Mac OS 10.9...does that have something to do with it?
Thank you so much for responding!

Double spreads - can I place an image across two pages in facing page mode?

Hi, I'm just getting into Pages to be able to create custom wedding album designs easily (I use Aperture). I'd really like to be able to place an image across two facing pages and I noticed that there is a 'facing page' mode, but this looks like it only applies to the view.
I tried laying an image across two 10x13 inch pages, but of course this doesn't work. I also tried to insert a 10x26 inch page as an alternative so that I can treat it as a double page. However, when I try to do this, every page resets to that size.
Is there a way of creating two page sizes (one normal, the other double width) in the same document so I can do this, or is there a way of spreading an image across two facing pages?
Thanks

brown,
You've bumped into one of Pages' limitations -- it won't allow one image across a spread. I've heard rumors of people kludging it by cutting the image in half, and putting each half on the spread pages.

In two page view preview shows the first page on its own

In two page view preview shows the first page on its own. I have recently downloaded an ebook which has image based tutorials and the pages are in such a way that pages 3 and 4 should be seen next to each other. Preview seems to want to have pages 1 on its own therefore making this rather difficult. Any help on resolving this issue would be appreciated.

Try selecting the first page, and then from the "Edit" menu select "insert blank page". This should put a blank page at the beginning of the document, shifting all pages down one and putting them in the order you want for your display.

How do i change the display in ADE to a single page view instead of two pages side by side? I find it distracting and prefer to look at one page at a time.

You can increase the font size and automatically page view changes. Go to menubar; Reading -> PDF View or Epub Text Size (depending upon the ebook) and increase the size.

Can a PDF file in landscape mode have two pages open at once

I notice when I use ibooks to read a pdf document on my ipad that in normal mode it woks just like a book with one page open, but when I turn to landscape mode, the document just greatly reduces in size, and centers on the screen, where as a book opens two pages side by side, that still turn like a normal book. Is there any way or app that will allow a PDF document to act like a book does in landscape mode, where two pages are open at once side by side and still a decent size. I know it will have to be smaller than it would be in regular mode, but a book works great in Landscape mode.

Get a free DropBox account.
Drag the files into DropBox and you can get a link to send to your friend to download.
Another option with DropBox is to use a Shared folder. If you share files a lot with your friend, setup a Shared folder and everything in the folder will be shared. Obviously they also need to setup a free DropBox account (works on Windows). Just keep the folder size under the 2GB free limit.
For the future... OS X Yosemite Mail coming this fall, will offer a way to share files like DropBox.
Mail Drop allows you to attach large files via iCloud.
Attachments can be up to 5GB in size. -new feature in OS X 10.10 Yosemite Mail

How to change Preview's Full screen default setting from "two-pages" to "continuous scroll"

I am using OS X mavericks on my mid 2013 Air.
I usually need to open multiple PDFs during my work and I prefer to put them all in full screen for easy swapping. I was able to change the setting which allowed me to open PDFs in "continuous scroll". However, the PDFs became two-pages display again when I put them into full screen and I can't find any setting which allow me to change the full screen default display mode. Is there a way to do it or it is simply not possible.? Could Apple just add an option for us to change it? Thanks in advance for any help.

You may also need to reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
