White box around text in Windows-based PDFs viewed on Mac

I make a lot of Microsoft Word-based PDFs that include colored, text-filled tables. They look great when viewed on my machine, but Mac users see a faint white outline around the text in each cell of the table. How do I get rid of the white box?

Very sorry--that's certainly information I should have included. I have Adobe  Acrobat 9 Standard, version 9.3.3. I'm creating the PDFs from within Microsoft  Word 2007 via the Acrobat tab on the ribbon, clicking "Create PDF."

  • White box around text in pdf

    Hi. In InDesign CS3, Photoshop 7.0 & of course Acrobat 7.0
    I made a Photoshop PDF & brought it into InDesign to export it into a PDF so I can make crop marks.
    The PDF in Acrobat & InDesign both had a white box around some of the text. I had embedded the fonts in Photoshop, so I do not understand why that happened. I went back into Photoshop & just retyped over where the box was appearing & this had solved the problem after I repdfed & imported it into ID. Acrobat viewed the text perfect then.
    I want to prevent this from happening in the future, does anyone know what I can do to look out for things like this?

  • Error in printing?  White boxes around text?

    Right now I'm experencing a problem with printing in
    Flashpaper. In my company we're converting brochures over into
    Flashpaper as a test. Everything converts over smoothly until we do
    a print test. What we're seeing in our print outputs is any area
    that contains text on top of a image you'll get an white box around
    the text. Although when you view the flashpaper on the monitor you
    don't see that white box around the text. It appears that during
    print process the text fields retain a white box and doesn't set it
    to be transparent.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem? And is there a way
    around this?

    HI
    Did you ever get any clue about this issue? I have the same
    problem or worse.
    If u know anything at all, please visit my post...

  • Help! When in "graphic watermark" setting, how do I remove white box around my watermark? Already saved in PNG

    I'm trying to upload a saved graphic watermark to my photos in Lightroom 4 but no matter what I do, I can't get the white box around the watermark to go away. I've already tried saving the watermark file in PNG like other sites suggested but it does no good. Other sites tell me I need to save the watermark in another version of adobe and check the box "transparent" but Lightroom is the only version of adobe I have. Any help ASAP would be greatly appreciated!!!

    I have also been trying to solve the same problem.  Where does one take an already created watermark and make it transparent?  I have Photoshop on my old Mac and e-mailed my solid white background watermark to myself, opened it in Photoshop and "erased" the white background.  Transfered it back to my Lightroom on my MacBookPro and exported the test photo w/ the "erased" background watermark.  I had no idea if it would work….it did not.  OR : How does one create a transparent watermark?  I have a graphic I want to use w/ my name.   Please HELP!!!

  • White boxes around images

    Hi, I know this is a basic question but it's causing me a lot
    of grief.
    When I place images on coloured backgrounds, they have white
    boxes
    around them. Is the only way to get around this to manipulate
    the
    image itself in photoshop? I've tried this but it still
    doesn't look
    right - there are jagged edges. Or I've tried giving the
    image the
    same colour background in photoshop so it blends, but there
    is a white
    edge. How do others handle this? Some expert advice would
    really be
    great to have.

    If you are seeing white borders against colored backgrounds,
    then this means
    that the white is part of the image. There would be no way to
    remove that
    short of editing the image in your image editing program.

  • White box around png images in Final Cut Express 4.0

    I was putting in some muzzle flashes into my video with final cut express 4.0, they were png images and there was a white box around the muzzle flash after i used the composite mode screen effect, if anybody knows what the problem is i could use the help.

    I inserted a 3D bullet into my movie and it had a black background. I used Composite Screen and it it worked, but it made the bullet slightly transparent. What should I do?

  • How do I get rid of faint white boxes around images?

    Some files that I have printed have faint white boxes around images.  The images were saved in photoshop with transparent backgrounds that seem to be showing up faintly in the final printed image.  Does anyone know how I can get rid of this problem?

    signspec,
    What happens if you print from Illy?
    Your printer (driver) may be overly helpful and performs a bit of colour management all by itself. You may have a look and disable any such management in the printer (driver) options.

  • Getting white boxes around images.. help!

    I dont know whats going on. I havent used Dreamweaver in a
    while and am having an odd issue.
    Located here: www.gwoodsconst.com
    I am getting white boxes around the images. Not sure what the
    issues. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Your image contains the white box, not your HTML. If you
    created it in a graphics program like Illustrator or Corel, the
    anti-aliasing setting at export put a thin blur around the edges to
    visually smooth the image
    Crop the image by one or two pixels then reset your sizes so
    it’s not distorted.
    That will fix it.

  • White box around image in my transparent .swf file

    I created a .swf file for a header of a website using a logo that tweens in.  I tested the .swf with the transparent properties and it works but the logo I imported from photoshop has a white box around it, how can I remove this?  Do I need to import a transparent .png file instead of a .jpg?
    Thanks!

    .png's are lossless vector graphics, so it's probably best bet if your going to do other things with the logo. .jpg's are not fond of resizing. You can also break the image apart and use the lasso tool and magic wand the background away.

  • I cannot open any apps or enter my passcode, there is a white box around everything I touch.  HELP!n

    Why is there a white box around everything I touch with no response at all?

    You have Voice Over turned on. Once you tap the item and see the box, tap it two more times to activate the selection.
    Then go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Voice Over, and turn it off. Remember, 3 taps per selection until you have turned it off.

  • Creating boxes around text....

    Hi,
    I'm hoping there is a better solution to this problem then what I've using.
    I would like to be able to create a box around text that is able to resize when increasing/decreasing font.
    My working solution is to create a text box with text then use direct selection tool to select the anchors and convert that into a shape, either a rectangle or rounded rectangle. This isn't bad since it allows an equal amount of space around the text but it does have problems. If the font size increases or decreases, the box remains the same. I have to use the Area Type Option to resize the box. Also, if I wanted to do this for lots of boxes then I have to select all of the individual anchors which will be time consuming.
    Is there a simpler solution?
    Thanks.

    Use the Selection Tool (Black Arrow) to select the text and then add a new Fill via the Appearance Panel.
    Move the new fill below the Characters item in the Appearance Panel
    With that fill highlighted choose Effect > Convert to Shape > Rectangle

  • Windows Application - PDF Viewer

    Hi,
    We are using windows application PDF viewer with Acrobat API. The pdf document is loading correctly without issues but the Tool menu is not displayed.
    How to include tool menu in wondows form (PDF Viewer).

    There is no in-box PDF API on Windows Phone 8.1.
    The typical approach is to launch the pdf file into the default PDF viewer app. If you want to display it inside your app you'll need to either find a 3rd party component or write your own.

  • Using WIndows Based ipod on a Mac -- File back up to Mac

    How do I back up audio files from a Windows based ipod to a Mac so

    The audio files on the ipod exist only on the ipod -- they were part

    files onto my Mac and reformat the ipod to mac.
    Thanks very much!

  • Boxes around text in PDF's

    Sometimes I get a white hairline box around some text when I export to PDF doc. Is there any cure for that?

    That's a transpaerncy flattening artifact called "stitching" that normally doesn't show up in high-resolution printing. The obvious answer is to stop flattening the transparency by exporting to PDF using Acrobat 5 or higher comaptibility.
    If you search for stitiching in this forum you will find more information than you can read in a week.
