Why is the text not the visible in the protected PDF opened on Mac?

Long story short:
I've created a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and saved it as PDF. With the .pdf open now in Acrobat Reader 9.4.1 I have enabled the protection over the .pdf file by only allowing Printing and saved the protected .pdf. All of these actions are made on Windows 7 machine. Now when trying to open the protected .pdf on Mac (with Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Preview) the .pdf opened only shows the lines and bullets but not the text.
Why is the text not visible in the protected PDF opened on Mac?
(is this bug or a "feature"?)
Note: the protected .pdf looks good on Windows 7 and it works on Mac if the .pdf has no protection.
Thanks!

A. What application are you using to add the protection? Reader cannot add any file security and I don't think the PDF feature of Word will either.
B. Mac Preview has issues with PDF standards so there may be some features that you will experience issues with that have no workarounds.
C. Have you checked the file after adding security to see if all fonts are embedded?

Why is the text not showing up on the form fields?

I recently had Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installed on my computer. Sometimes I receive documents that have text missing from the fields. I do not have the option to "fix fields" under EDIT? One other person in my office has this option and the text will appear. We seem to have the same version so I'm not sure how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Many applications can be user modified and have additional tools or add ins add to the program. And example is the PDF Maker added to MS Office.
You will need to add the code to fix the fields and add a menu item option to call the function.
Script to Fix Mac OSX Preview.app Form Fill and Save
The code for adding the menu item is custom for the function name.
Does your co-worker know how or who installed the code and can you get them to add the code to your system?

Gordon, it looks like its been a while since you made this post. Not sure how valid it is now...   I am particularly interested in the LigatureLevel.NONE value. It seems that it is no longer supported.
How do I turn of ligatures in the font rendering?
My flex project involves trying to match the font rendering of Apache's Batik rendering of SVG and ligatures have been turned off in that codebase. Is there any way (even roundabout) to turn ligatures off in flash?
Thanks,
Om

My iPhone 5 have the glass popping sound when I press on the top left corner of my phone but I don't know why, I don't see any visibility of the glass coming out. My friends all told me to not exchange.

My iPhone 5 have the glass popping sound when I press on the top left corner of my phone but I don't know why, I don't see any visibility of the glass coming out. My friends all told me to not exchange because after all the software is perfectly fine.

My phone just turned 2 months old. But in Singapore as long your phone is under one year warranty I can still go for an exchange at the respective telco, but my friends all suggest me to not change now cause after changing it'll be a refurbished set instead of a brand new one.

Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?

Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?
My coworkers and I are not seeing a animation in the preview pane in Adobe Bridge CS6 even when clicking the play button in the preview window. However, we do see a graphic of the first frame and one person sees 1 frame when clicking play and one other frame and then the animation stops, however, that is not the complete animation.
I'm using Windows 7 32 bit
My coworkers are using a mac.
One coworker has apple OS Mountain Lion with a Intel Quad-Core Xeon – 64 bit system.
Is this fixable or in the works as a patch? Otherwise we have to open these docs in a browser in order to view them properly.

I've just come to the realization that some animated gifs do play fine and others do not. A coworker of mine suggests that if it's an animation made via Adobe Photoshop, it'll work in bridge but will not if it's made using something else.

Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?

Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?
I use the Tools > Annotate > Add Text feature, and when I click away after adding text, it automatically changes the text box size such that the last letter -- or last word -- gets bumped off into an invisible line below it, forcing me to manually adjust every single text box. It is highly annoying when trying to complete PDF forms (e.g. job applications).
It appears to be a glitch, quite honestly, an error resulting from Apple's product design. Has it been fixed in the new operating system (for which they want $30)?
I would very much appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you for your time.

The text 'Not Virus Scanned' is prepended to my subject lines

In iCloud (mac.com) messages I send, the text
"[Not Virus Scanned]" - it is being pre-pended to the subject line.
I hope that someone in the Apple/iCloud operations facility will actually look at what your
systems are doing. And I hope it is not the user named "Winston Churchill".
Background:
Back in August 2012, someone asked whether Apple was virus scanning emails:
John W 1980

I reveived a password protected pdf by email. The subject line was marked [Not Virus Scanned]. Was this mark applied by the iCloud server?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, it wasn't added by Apple
See the answer in context
I have attached an email header (edited for privacy) to show this:
"Oracle Communications Messaging Server" running on st11p00mm-asmtp004.mac.com
Which is handling the messages, is running Fsecure Proofpoint, or something that is claiming to
be - SO apparently iCloud IS doing virus scanning, and has chosen to corrupt our Email subject lines
rather than simply stick to the conventional behavior of using SMTP headers to flag virus scan status.
The outgoing subject was "Re: ...."
after passing through
st11p00mm-asmtp004.mac.com ([17.172.81.3])
(Oracle Communications Messaging Server 7u4-23.01(7.0.4.23.0) 64bit (built Aug
10 2011)) with ESMTPSA id <[email protected]>
Which IS an Apple system,
the subject reads

---- end of attachment ----

We're all just users here. Neither Apple nor anyone from the 'iCloud operations facility' monitors these posts.
Nobody here has any inside knowledge of under what circumstances any emails are 'edited' (if in fact they are) by any email systems between sender and recipient.
In 12 years of using Apple's email systems I have never seen a single email subject changed. However prepending text is not 'corruption'. Corruption means the data is unreadable/inaccessible. Adding a few extra characters does not make the subject unreadable.
All responsible email providers scan email for viruses. From Google searches it appears that such a message is added by some virus scanners to the subject only when an email attachment cannot be read (such as a password protected file, or a deeply nested zip file) and it serves as a warning to the recipient to exercise caution before opening the email. How many users routinely check SMTP headers before opening potentially damaging emails?

Why does added text disappear when I move the cursor

After adding text to an unprotected .pdf file the text disappears when I move the cursor and want to add a second box of text. The text in the first box reappears when I double click on the space where the box was. How do I set the text so that it remains visible and printable?

Hi,
I think the data in the PDF file was filled-in using MAC preview.
One option is to ask the user to fill the file again using Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Or else refer to following link:

The ipad music app does not allow me to play certain tracks that i have synced via my itunes. The tracks are clearly visibly in the music app but when tap on them to play they wont play. help and advice will be much appreciated

The ipad music app does not allow me to play certain tracks that i have synced via my itunes. The tracks are clearly visibly in the music app but when tap on them to play they wont play. what do i do?

Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

I cannot record anything on iPod shuffle. Why? I do not recognise any of the windows shown in the various manuals about shuffle. Why? Currently an Orange light is blinking on the shuffle, and has been doing so for hours. Why?

I finally stumbled across a fix for this problem, and in case someone else is frustrated at some point by a similar issue I'm posting what finally worked to enable me to bring iTunes up at any time (without rebooting first).
The solution was to go to the preferences to uncheck "search for shared libraries".
I'm glad the problem is fixed, but Apple developers really should include a timeout function on iTunes search for a shared libraries. At least a visual dialog to confirm that the application is in the process of searching for a shared library on the network would help provide clues as to what is causing the spinning beach ball to appear right about the time the application window should pop up.

Print problem. trying to print a document in Preview, the start of the text prints half way down the page not at the top of the page?

Print problems. Printing out an email the text starts half way down the page. I tried taking a picture of the text I wanted to print, tried to print from Preview and have the same problem. If anyone has any ideas I would really apreciate it. Thanks Penny

One more thing to check: System Preferences/Print & Scan. Make sure your printer is set as Default.
I'm using OS X 10.8 and I don't see Page Setup anymore. If you have access to Page Setup, check to see if there are any adjustments to make there.
