Weird PDF folio performance (scaled up to 2048)

Hi all
I'm working with a set of articles which are 1024 x 768 but are within a 2048 folio, all in PDF format rather than PNG etc. They look great but there are two strange things which happen erratically, when navigating.
First, a page within an article sometimes disappears, leaving just a white blank page. Leaving the article and then going back in doesn't seem to fix it, nor does pinching/zooming or going back to the top of the article. It just seems to reappear at random, without me doing anything specific to cause it to come back.
Second, when scrolling up or down within an article (on content viewer) the page gets 'stuck' in between pages, so I see the top half of one page and the bottom of another - like an elevator between floors.
Any ideas?
I'm running the latest ACV. All articles are vertical scollers, snap enabled.
Thanks guys
M

Hi Bob, not sure – will try it…thanks

  • Exact Printing of a PDF File (no scaling)

    We create forms as PDF's that we publish on our WEB site.  We also have vendors that produce the same documents with 2D barcodes as PDF's.  We scan/image the returned doucuments and run OCR, ICR and 2D interpretation of data.  When the public prints the documents in Adobe Reader with scaling set to none (or actual size in Reader X), everything is fine.  The issue is when the the users leave the size option set to something other than none or actual.  We have margins over 1/2 inch on all sides and the pages will always scale.  This moves the exact positioning of the fixed print documents and shrinks the 2D barcodes to where they are unreadable.  We have the page scaling set to none in the document itself but of course the user can always override.
    I have been told that if you change the size of the page to something less than 8 1/2 by 11, you can prevent the scaling.  I have played with this and found that what works best for a laser printer is different than what works with an inkjet.  Does anyone know a size that will prevent scaling on the most printers?
    Is there any other way to prevent a PDF document from scaling?  I have even created a PDF with one word in the middle of am 8 1/2 by 11 page and it will still scale.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Does anyone have any thoughts on this matter.  We already set the pagescaling to none in the document, but it appears that people like to override this setting.
      (Optional; PDF 1.6) The page scaling option to be selected when a print dialog is displayed for this document. Valid values are None, which indicates that the print dialog should reflect no page scaling, and AppDefault, which indicates that applications should use the current print scaling. If this entry has an unrecognized value, applications should use the current print scaling. Default value: AppDefault.   Note:  If the print dialog is suppressed and its parameters are provided directly by the application, the value of this entry should still be used.

  • Buttons in PDF Folios

    Just to double-check... Vector Buttons become rasterized (pixelated) in 1024 PDF Folios when seen in iPad 3?
    I just made a PDF folio, based on PDF and 1024 as v24 Folios, made several MSO's inside with Vector option, and they look just fine.
    But when I convert a vector shape into a button (with Click state) it appears rasterized always. So may I assume that buttons are those few overlays that don't support vector preservation even in v24 then?
    Thanks!

    Correct.

  • Dash lines causing weird PDF

    Hi, I have this FREEHAND MX file which uses the font DAX
    (converted to paths). There is a dashed line in the layout.
    After exporting the file as MACINTOSH EPS, I have distilled
    it on ADOBE DISTILLER 6.0.
    In the PDF file all the "I" and "L" letters became dashed.
    Most weird of all, if I use different patterns of dash for that
    line, the "I" and "L" letters immitate it.
    The same MACINTOSH EPS can be rasterized in PHOTOSHOP. In
    that case, with normal results.
    I can send JPEGs illustrating the effect, if anyone wants it.
    Thank you for any ideas.

    I looked at your files. That has to be one of the strangest
    thing I've ever
    seen in FH. The same thing happens here when printing to
    Postscript file and
    Distilling. It looks like a striped fill rather than a dashed
    stroke is
    being applied, but as you say, it picks up the size of the
    dashes in the
    stroke.
    I'm glad the AI CS2 route works for you. I had saved the FH
    file back to
    FH9, opened that in Illustrator 10 and saved as PDF. The same
    striped
    letters were present in the PDF!
    A few things corrected the error -- making each line of
    lettering into a
    composite path, or changing the dashed stroke to a solid
    stroke, or changing
    the fill of the lettering to a different color, or distorting
    the shape of
    the letters.
    Because the letters affected are perfect rectangles which, in
    the font
    creation software, may have been drawn with a rectangle tool,
    they may have
    some kind code attached that conflicts with FH's Postscript
    code for dashes.
    Does this happen every time you use this font?
    Have you seen this happen with any other font?
    It would be interesting to contact the font designer and let
    him know what's
    happening.

  • More trouble with PDF folios

    Hi.
    I also have a trouble with PDF folios, where vertical article has 2 pages and horizontal article has 1 page.
    When i set that folio horizontal swipe only, there will be one extra blank page at the horizontal article.
    When there is more pages in articles (4 and 2 accordingly), there is no such artifact.

    have you tried my example that I just posted here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4173179#4173179

  • V25 JPEG Compression in PDF folio sucks....

    Guys -
    What happened to compression in v25 folios?
    I've had two deisgners ask me this in the last week...and I noticed it myself. I don't think we are doing anything differently...
    It seems that JPEG compression in PDF folios has been increased since prior releases of Folio Builder.
    Pixelization is really noticeable even over JPEG folios set to high quality.
    look at this screenshot...
    The image on the left is a High Quality Print PDF exported straight from inDesign. The central image is the doc as a JPEG folio. The right image is the doc as a PDF folio.
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/74532153/dps.png
    Any one else notice this? And/or is there a way to override the default compression settings for PDF folios?

    Hi Javad -
    This was not resolved.
    I worked closely with Yasin at DPS Gold Support - and he could reproduce the problem but was unsure what or why it was happening.
    My guess is that a decision was made by Adobe to increase default compression to reduce file size.
    The knock against DPS is file bloat - both as it relates to file transmission and file storage.
    I think this was how they attempted to address both issues.
    There are no controls within inDesign or Folio Builder to override the default compression.
    The only way around is to create a PNG or JPEG folio and lose vector artwork.
    I'm hoping it may be addressed with V 26

  • PDF folio suppurt on Android

    Hi!
    Can anyone predict when there will be PDF folio support for Android viewers?
    PDF folios are really much smaller than jpg ones.

    Problem solved by uninstalling and re-installing the Android App. Only showing single version of each magazine now.

  • How can you see page previews in Folio Producer for pdf folio files?

    Hi,
    When we load pdf folios into Builder, Producer doesn't show us a preview of the page like it does for the jpg folio loads. If you click on the page area for the pdf folios, it just gives you a red box. Is there a way to see the page previews for the pdf folios like you can for the jpg folios? It makes entering metadata more difficult without being able to see the page preview.

    That’s a limitation. No way around it.

  • Poor folio performance when set to PDF for both renditions

    Hello,
    I'm getting ready to release a single edition folio and had originally planned to create separate folios for both iPad 1/2 & iPad 3. It then became apparent that this process isn't available for single edition professional dps. I've now tried creating one 1024 folio w/pdf settings. Both renditions look beautiful, but the performance is not really poor - it takes multiple swipes to change pages within an article. Is there any other methods any of you can suggest to handle this? Both apps perform much better when you using png settings. It's starting to feel like we'll either need to sacrifice performance or display at this point. Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
    Darin

    I haven't toggled the zoom enabled button to see if there's any difference. I should state that I've only tested this in the content viewer - I haven't tested the .ipa files yet. Would there be a noticeable difference?
    I'm only testing one two page article that only contains one scrollable content overlay - nothing too complex.
    Folios and viewer are both v25.

  • PDFs are always scaling to fit the page when printing, after OS X 10.9 upgrade

    Hello,
    When I try to print a PDF on a sheet that is larger or smaller then the page size I have selected in Acrobat, it always reduces or enlarged it to fit, even when I tell it not to do any scaling. Please see my step by step process below for more details on how I am sending the file to the printer.
    Preface:
    This problem began after I upgraded my Mac OS to 10.9, and it only applies when I print from Acrobat Pro to our poly platesetter (I work in the prepress department for an offset printer). I have Acrobat Pro 9 and 11 on my computer, and I have the  problem using either one.
    • I do not have this problem when printing from InDesign, or any other CC application.
    • I can print to our four other printers (desktop or copiers) from Acrobat without any scaling problems.
    Description of the problem:
    This is an example of a file I may need to print, a #10 envelope. The sheet and document sizes are in red.
    The 'Page Size' is 4.13" x 9.5" and I have it set to print 'Actual size.' I have also tried 'Custom Scale' at 100%, but I still have the same problem. The preview in the print dialog is correct. It should just print the envelope, not the cropmarks that were on the PDF. I've sent down countless envelopes this way before I upgraded to 10.9 without any trouble. 
    Above is a screenshot of the file after it has been ripped at our platesetter. You can see it reduced the entire document to fit on the selected page size. The cropmarks should not be there, and it shouldn't have reduced the artwork.
    I also have the opposite problem of  my artwork being enlarged if I send something down that is smaller than my selected page size.
    I know this a very specific problem, so I understand that I may not  get much help on it. Thanks in advance for any help you may offer. I have workarounds, but this is really slowing me down, and if I accidentally plate something that was reduced or enlarged can be a very costly mistake if it get printed that way.
    My Equipment:
    • Early 2008 -  Quad-Core Mac Pro 2.8 GHz
    • I use Abobe CC applications, but I've tried Acrobat 9.0 as an alterative to Acrobat 11
    • Our platesetter is: Mitsubishi SDP-Eco 1630 IIIR
      with a Harlequin RIP 9.0 Revision 0
    Thank you in advance for any insight you may have.

    A workaround I found for my Fiery RIP if insist on using Acrobat XI:
    In Acrobat's Print dialog, set:
    Choose paper source by PDF page size = ticked
    Use custom paper size when needed = ticked
    In Page Setup, set Page Size = your custom size, i.e. 4.13" x 9.5"
    In Printer, open the Fiery driver properties and set Paper Size = your custom size, i.e. 4.13" x 9.5"

  • Convert smartform to PDF Convert_OTF - Performance Issue

    Hi gurus,
    We have a custom development for Compensation statement developed smartform that could have easily been done in Adobe PDF. The downside of this is ithat whenever we want to download to PDF, the program first coverts this smart form to PDF usinf funciton module "Convert_OTF" and then downloads it.
    Did any one face this performance issue. Is the convert to OTF a major time consuming process
    We are having system performance issue when downloading the comp statement and want to analysize how big this CONVERT_OTF is a factor.
    please suggest

    Ok
    Iìve never had particular performance problem with that function, so:
    have you tried to measure the time for the printing (smartform), for the convertion (convert_otf) and for the downloading separatly?

  • HTML Resources PDF - Folio does not download on viewer

    Hi there
    I have a problem with a folio that contains PDF links. THis is not the first time we are using it and we didn't have any problem with this before
    After importing all my stacks and HTML resources zip file; when I open the Adobe viewer app on Ipad, I can see the folio but the download does not start; It stays at 0 MB and nothing happens
    It seems that the probelm is coming from the HTML PDF. Any IDea ?
    Does someone had already the same issue?
    The zip file is 247MB, Is there any limitation ??

    Hi,
    YOu can try Archieve the Folio and download again or try publish the Folio (Private / Free), thats way you can see if there is some problem in your File or web servers. If after publish the problem continuous...Try create a new folio..I didn´t get this part

  • Differences between PDF folios and PNG/JPG ones?

    Would anyone be able to quickly summarise the subtle differences (apart from having the option to enable pinch/zoom) between these folio types. I have a multi-folio app on Newsstand which uses JPG folios but am keen to switch to PDF for the next issue. We use all overlay types and want to target problems early!  Thanks

    Here are the differences between PDF and JPG/PNG articles that I'm aware of:
    * PDF is not supported for Smooth Scrolling articles, even if you specify the PDF image format. For memory reasons, JPG or PNG is used instead. Enabling PDF for Smooth Scrolling articles is on the roadmap.
    * It sometimes takes a moment for a PDF article to come into focus, especially on the iPad 1. With iOS 5.1, this load delay is rare, at least in my experience.
    * PDF articles are not supported on Android devices. If a folio includes a single PDF article, it won't load in the viewer on a mobile device.
    * Pages in PDF articles can pinch & zoom if enabled in Viewer Builder.
    * The thumbnail previews of PDF articles do not appear in the Folio Producer Editor.
    * Overlays should look and function the same whether PDF, JPG, or PNG. When you zoom in on an overlay in a PDF article, pixelation might be noticeable, but that's expected.

  • Create pdfs that perform calculations
