Yosemite pdf rendering issue

Hello. I'm using a MacBook Air (11"; mid-2011) that I have just upgraded to MacOS Yosemite. I am having a new issue, and I'm trying to isolate the problem.
I use software called xfig (a figure drawing program) that produces simple line drawings. There is a program called fig2dev that converts these "fig" files to other formats such as pdf. This has worked well for many years for me, and is suddenly having issues.
In the latest version of MacOS, shaded regions no longer show up the way that I am expecting.
I've created a simple image (just a box shaded by diagonal lines) using xfig and converted to pdf.
When viewed using Acrobat it appears as expected, but Preview and other native pdf viewers don't show the shading.
So I don't know if this is an issue with pdf compliance of transfig output (I did check it with a compliance verifier,
which found some minor issues) or rather with Yosemite. The fact that a number of other issues have been
reported with Yosemite pdf handling makes me suspect the latter.
The pdf file can be accessed here: http://www.math.uvic.ca/faculty/aquas/test.pdf
So. The question: Is this a Yosemite bug?

MacBook Pro early 2011 and Yosemite.
I got issues with Preview too. I wanted to open a PDF, and it did not open properly, the result was a distorted figure full of colors. I re installed Yosemite with Apple help, and it didn't fix the issue. At the Genius Bar in the Apple Store they told me to upgrade the RAM memory, they did not fix the Preview and PDF issue.

Chrome PDF Rendering Issue

Hello all,
I've been noticing some odd behavior in Chrome when trying to render a PDF I've exported from InDesign; attached is a screenshot of the symptom, and if you take the following link, you can also see it firsthand (though occasionally it will render fine; best to try and click the URL multiple times if the symptom isn't observable rather than refresh, as refreshing will make it work correctly every time).
http://guide.cs50.net/guide-10.pdf
Are there any particular export options I should turn on to make this issue go away, or something else I can do from within InDesign? Help is greatly appreciated!
Best,
Colton

Bug: PDF rendering issues

If you open a PDF that includes shadows or similar effects, you'll notice semi-transparent lines in Photoshop CS6.
If you uncheck "Anti-aliased" in the "Import PDF" window, the semi-transparent lines are gone… but vector elements with rounded corners won't look nice
This issue doesn't exist in Photoshop CS5.
Here are two Screenshots of the same PDF file.
(CS6 on the left side; CS5 on the right side)

Try the newest Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 - that comes with the newest Crystal Reports Java runtime.
If you're sticking with JRC XI Release 2, then the early versions had issues with Charts - lines were pixellated, and fractional fonts didn't work correctly.

Performance Issues DPS - Single Edition - PDF Rendering, Multi-State Text

Hello,
Please advise on the above issue...
On a retina display ipad, I'm having issues with multi-state objects that contain text. The column on the left is crisp text, non multi-state object. However when I place the text in a multi state object (right) it's not rendering in high resolution. A bit pixelated.
Single Issue - Creative Cloud License
iPad Gen III Retina Original Version
My application is compiled using app version: v24
Also I experience performance issues using PDF mode... when you change a page everything is super grainy, and then ~2 Seconds later it renders crisp. It used to be prerendered, or much faster. Perhaps I was using PNG? I switched to PDF mode as recommended in countless articles. Is the slow render just a side affect of PDF? Anything I can do to optimize? Recommendations?
Thanks so much!
Richie

Thank You, Bob!
Vector fixed it! I only have to change it on 29872498329 pages
One thing I just realized is, that I have the same issue with buttons. I have a button with Normal, and Click states. It has the same rendering issue (grainy) and I couldn't find a place to make the button render 'vector'.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro Ver. 10.1.7 rendering issues

Hello
I have rendering issues with Acrobat X Pro Ver 10.1.7.
When I zoom in to 100% and use the hand tool to move the image around, it moves about 1 inch then it freezes for 3-4 seconds, then I can move it again. This happens at all zoom %, but it gets worse as I zoom in further.
This gets even worse if I add text callouts and text boxes.
Windows reports the size of the .pdf document at about 700 Kilobytes.
I played with the Preferences - 3D & Multimedia - Rendeiring settings, etc. to no avail.
I have 64 bit Windows 7 Enterprise on a DELL Precision M4500-I 1.6GHZ CORE I7 QUAD CORE laptop with 8 GB of RAM and a NVIDIA QUADRO FX 1800M with 1 GB of RAM. I also played with the NVIDIA Control Panel settings to no avail.
This gets very anoying, I need to get work done on these .pdf files and this issue slows me down, and irritates the hell out of me.
I thought my laptop is underpowered, but at this point I tend to believe it is an Acrobat issue.
Please, any input appreciated.
Thanks

PDF-Rendering is very slow

Hi,
on our local test-environment with CF 8.01 we have no problem to create a pdf with cfdocument-tag.
<cfdocument format="pdf"
                encryption = "128-bit"
                permissions="AllowCopy,AllowPrinting"
                unit="cm"
                scale="100"
                backgroundVisible="yes"
                marginleft="1"
                marginright="1"
                filename="#url.pk_id#.pdf"
                pageType="A4">
          <cfdocumentitem type="header">
          ... content of the pdf
</cfdocument>
but our productive-server (the same CF-version as the local testserver) is working very slow, and when I say slow I mean minutes not a view seconds more.
I have no idea where this discrepance is comming from, especially as we could observe the pdf-rendering on fusion-reactor witch makes it rather improbable that - as we first thought - our firewall is slowing down the process.
does anyone out there has an idea where the problem could be located or had someone in this forum experienced a simular pdf-pitfall?
thanks for yout efforts.

Hi Guys I work with a lot of pdf files with being a student at uni and not sure these tips might help.
Try an app called skim which is free it handles pdfs nicely and looks similar to the preview app.
Also if a pdf is slow to scroll try selecting all the pages goto file print. Then on the bottom left hand side of the print window select pdf and then save as pdf. I have found on some pdfs (usually the ones in black and white and look like a photo copy) using the the print save as pdf option has then allowed me to view a pdf fine in the preview app without any issues. Hope this is useful.
I suspect its to do with pixels per inch or dots per inch of the document.

HT6065 Adobe Reader blocks PDF rendering in Safari

Adobe Reader [plugin] blocks PDF rendering in Safari. Error Message tells user to start Adobe Reader and accept the EULA, then restart Safari.
MBP 15.4" Mid 2012 Retina 8GB DDR3 1600 Mhz Ram Running 10.9.1 (build 13842). I have AR installed--not sure where the EULA is... Help is no help...
Seems to happen with some sites that use web forms.
Any ideas?

Forgot to add--PDF forms from websites pull up fine in FireFox 27.0.1 and Chrome 32.0.1700.77. So, it appears to be a Safari issue... Or perhaps an issue with a plug-in or extension...?

FCPX constantly backing up and rendering issues.

FCPX makes an automatic backup of almost every single change I make. It's really slowing me down. Every clip I select and drop into the timeline is backed up and I have to wait for it to process or the program grinds to a halt. It's essentially backing up every few seconds as i work.
Also noticed that when i open a current project it re-renders the whole thing. And often sections of a project I'm in the middle of working on just suddenly start rendering again. I might make a change to a clip near the end and suddenly the first 30 clips start re-rendering.
Another rendering issue is when I have made a change to a part of a multicam clip, say a colour correction or added an effect etc. It won't render the change until I adjust the clip length and return it to normal. As in, stretch the clip out by +2 seconds then pull it back in -2 seconds, then the render will begin.
These problems are costing me a lot of time and money and would love to hear if anyone else has experienced similar and has solutions.
FCPX 10.2 / OSX Yosemite 10.10.3 / iMac 27-Inch Late 2012, 3.4GHz, 32GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048MB, Fusion 3TB

Suggest that you download TimeTracker to reveal exactly what is being backed up on each pass.
http://www.charlessoft.com/
The application is not fancy, and it will probably take 5-10 minutes to load depending on how much data you have on the Time Capsule.
Once you identify the file that is causing the bloat, you can elect to exclude that file from backups if it is not needed, using Time Machine Options.
It might be a backup history for your browser or something similar if you do not clear the history on a regular basis.
Please post with your results to share with other users who may be experiencing a similar issue.

PDF renderer for next release please

I would like to add to the
discussion
on the old labs forum.
AIR would be hugely more useful to me if it could display a
pdf natively. This would mean bundling a basic pdf renderer with
AIR. This needn't add much to the AIR runtime (e.g. FoxIt reader is
only 2mb).
As mentioned in the linked discussion, AIR could check for
the presence of Adobe Reader x.x and / or full Acrobat and then
make use of them if required. But the ability to simply display
(and hence print) pdf's without launching an additional application
and without worrying about what the user might have installed on
various OS's would IMHO make AIR a more wonderful thing!
Here's hoping..

The release notes state that you can display a pdf natively,
ONLY if the client has the most current 8.1 reader. Unfortunately,
I have not yet found a method for doing this, despite having the
most current reader...
Regardless, I second this proposal, and I do not understand
why Adobe would essentially leave one of the core products of AIR
out of the 1.0 release. I would have assumed that the first alpha
would have been able to not only render a pdf to the display, but
also write a pdf out to the client machine. Understandably, this
may be easier said than done, but should have been done before a
1.0 release.
Also, I do not understand why 2/3 of the release notes are
known issues many of which should have been taken care of prior to
release. I do not understand why anyone would knowingly release a
buggy product.

Is that a webkit rendering issue in Safari 5.1?

I add my voice to rendering issues encountered in Safari 5.1, here they are:
1) Fonts look pixelated on some websites. Here's an example drawn from weebly.
The font used here is OFL Sorts Mill Goudy, so I guess there must be a font rendering engine in weebly that allows non web safe fonts to be displayed properly. That works fine in Firefox 5 & 6, and until recently on Safari 5. Chrome 12 has exactly the same issue as Safari 5.1, so it could be a general rendering issue in webkit.
2) Videos on Vimeo show now a black rectangle instead of the video.
3) The "Insert image" feature in this forum takes forever to load, displaying a white rectangle during several seconds. Same issue with the Evernote clip bookmarklet.
Hope these issues will be fixed soon, any help is appreciated if something can be changed in Safari settings.
Note: resetting Safari (including cleaning cache) doesn't solve the described problems. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on Mac Pro Quad 2.8 Ghz.

Thanks for helping diagnose this.
However, my testing indicates that this is not a bug with border-collapse: collapse. Here is why:
If I change the value of border-collapse to "separate" and add "border-spacing: 0", the bug remains. To try this, request http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug2.cgi .
If I leave the value of border-collapse unchanged but change the button elements in the cells to plain text, the bug disappears. To try this, request http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug1.cgi .
On the basis of this testing, it would seem to me that the bug is dependent on the button elements and independent of the border-collapse CSS attribute.
This doesn't explain, however, why you have found border-collapse: collapse producing slow results with other large tables and it doesn't do so with my table in http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug1.cgi . It also doesn't explain why you saw the bug disappear when you changed border-collapse on my page but I didn't see it disappear.
Any further diagnostic help would be welcome.

Custom Cell Renderer issue in Custom JTable

I have CustomeTable extends JTable which renders different UI Components like (JTextField/ ComboBox /JButton/JCheckBox) in *"single column*" so i have overridden *getCellRenderer* and *getCellEditor methods.*
Now my Custom Table changes contextually by selecting different nodes in JTree similar to Windows Explorer
*The problem is Some times When i Click Button & then i click other Node which displays other UIComponents old components (Button is painted) instead of new COmponent(JTextfield or ...)*
*For each UI Renderer i have called its repaint() method still this issue is noticed not frequentlly but yes occasionally.*

Following are some of my Custom Text / Combo Renderer / Password / Button to display different UI Components @ Column 2 as per my above Code

               +Shouldnt i call repaint() on a specific Component for a Specific renderer ?+
My Code works perfectly 99 % of the times ..
But very rarely when i click My Button On my Custom Table say
When i click NODE A - which displays different UI in Right Split Info
Row 2 Column 2 - has Validate Button
Then i Click NODe B - Which displayes Contextual UI Components
Row 2 Column 2 should display TextBox (as expected)
but due to some rendering issue its Displaying same Validate Button
I have debugged and verified my logic to call renderer is perfect.
My rest of rows /columns displays appropriate UI Components except the
position of Button .
I think after my Button Editor is Invoked & i perform some business logic Button renderer is not getting invoked ???

PDF Rendering in EP6

Hello,
I am integrating XMLMILL (www.xmlmill.com) into EP6 to provide PDF rendering on the fly from xml+xsl data.
I finally got it working and I am now able to render impressive PDF files but seems xmlmill is not fully compatible with EP6 from different perpectives: xml-xstl parsers/transformes, logging subsystem and class loading (retrieval of resources) as well as compatibility with PAR deployment process.
Is there anybody else that has tried this tool or a similar one into EP6?
Would like to share your experiences.
Thanks in advanve & Regards
Vitaliano Trecca

Yes we also use a tool to transform XML into PDF from Apche (FOP project) and we have the same problems as you (incompatibility between Apache libraries and EP6 libraries). In EP5 it worked fine since the inqmy libraries were not automatically loaded at runtime !
SAP people from the development are actually working on this problem. I'll keep you informed if they found a workaround for this.

PDF access issue with OHS WebGate

Hi all,
The architecture has OAM, OID, Documentum server. OID is used as user store for OAM. Documentum application is deployed in WebLOgic server. There is a OHS server front ending the WebLOgic server where we installed the webgate. We are protecting the Documentum URL through OHS host name in OAM Policy domain and everything is working fine so far. While downloading a pdf document in Documentum server application, it is processing as 33% and hangs over for 5 mins and finally displays an error given below.
invokeMethod() failed while calling: onReturnFromProgress
Operation failed : com.documentum.ucf.common.transport.TransportException: Client failed to handshake with server within 250 seconds.
After closing this window, press the Refresh or Reload button on your browser to continue
I have seen couple of metalink notes about this pdf webgate issue and tried several options for webgate params CachePragmaHeader and CacheControlHeader.
Tried the following combinations:
CachePragmaHeader           private
CacheControlHeader private
CachePragmaHeader           novalue
CacheControlHeader novalue
CachePragmaHeader           public
CacheControlHeader public
CachePragmaHeader           novalue
CacheControlHeader private
CachePragmaHeader           novalue
CacheControlHeader public
Like this I have tried almost 9 combinations but no luck. Also tried disabling the IP validation. There are no errors in webgate or access server logs
Please let me know if you have any clue on this.
-Mahendra.

We're seeing an issue that looks almost identical to this but using Windows 2008/IIS7.x and WebGate v10.1.4.3. The PDF will begin download then it looks like a connection resets. We've tried it using PDF's ranging in size from <1mb to over >16mb. The results are consistent. On IIS turning off "http keep alive" allows the downloads to proceed (and probably diminishes performance to some degree).
While the workaround we found allows PDFs to download I'd really be interested in seeing what's causing this.

SSRS web based report viewer control rendering issues - text getting clipped chopped off

Hi,
I am using web based SSRS report viewer control to display SSRS reports in browsers like Chrome, FF, IE, Safari etc. My issue is some text is getting chopped off (clipped) in all cells of some reports. I investigated on my end by analyzing generated HTML
and I could see a problem in the HTML that report viewer control is generating. But I am afraid to apply any HTML or Javascript hacks at the moment considering we have hundreds of reports.
You can see in above image how text got chopped off. The problem in HTML (given below) is the text has been wrapped in a div tag with a fixed height. If I remove the height and also padding on parent TD, the text appears properly.
<td class="A23dfe7c5f99245f2a0db522a22a6035597c" style="HEIGHT:5.00mm;background-color:#d3d3d3;"><div style="HEIGHT:3.24mm;overflow:hidden;"><table lang="en-US" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0" border="0" class="Pd9776e5f7eaf4df696265b8b49d1da39_1_r17"><tbody><tr><td class="A23dfe7c5f99245f2a0db522a22a6035597" style="word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;">MyType11</td></tr></tbody></table></div></td>
Please let me know if you have faced a similar scenario before.
Here is link to stackoverflow thread -
Stackoverflow thread
Regards
Murtaza

Hi Murtaza,
According to your description, when you display the report with Report Viewer control, the data within the text is cutoff.
Based on my research, the issue could cause by that Arial Unicode MS font hasn’t been installed on the server where Reporting Services run. Besides, when we use ReportViewer control to render report, we’d better set
AsyncRendering="true" in the Report Viewer control. Also please run the IE with compatibility mode. For more information, please refer to similar threads below:

10.6.7 - general pdf creation issues?

I wondered whether anyone else had run into this issue after updating to 10.6.7 when using pdfs created by Preview - perhaps related to the pdf/font issue.
If it is generally happening, then the 10.6.7 pdf-font issue has an even larger
impact than previously described:
1. Open a pdf document in Preview
2. Select a region and save to clipboard
3. Save as a new pdf file
4. Then try importing it as a "Picture" into any of the new Office 2011 apps: Word, PPT, etc.
This crashes my office 2011 apps (latest version, 14.02) But NOT any earlier version of Office (2008. etc.), which may not do as much pdf checking.
Before the 10.6.7 upgrade (ie, 10.6.6), this never happened with Office 2011.
Acrobat complains when opening the Preview-created pdfs about 'missing fonts', so I suspect some sort of pdf creation issue.
Any fixes (besides the previously suggested one of downgrading to 10.6.6)
If it's a real bug (not just local to my system), then it's a more far-reaching one than previously described.

rcberwick wrote:
So, 3 different Apple tech support people say they know this problem affects
"multiple applications, including any that deal with pdf files" but that "no fix is
currently in the works"
That is wrong because it only involves OpenType Postscript fonts.
The only solution offered so far is to "downgrade by doing Archive & Install" and
then re-applying each Combo Upgrade, starting with 10.6.3 up to 10.6.6.
You wouldn't have to do that either. That is the point of a Combo update. You only need to apply the one you want. It includes all of the previous updates.
