PDF files are not correctly displayed in Windows XP

original title: gibberish in pdf format

I used to be able to open PDFs with Windows XP Home Edition, but now all I get is gibberish.

Do you have a PDF Reader installed?

Adobe Reader

Foxit Reader

Adobe is more "well known", but Foxit is much more compact and my personal preference.

  • Lately on the Web, pdf files are not correctly; What is the problem and how can I fix this so I don't have to use IE?

    I am a teacher and often need to open the PDF files of academic electronic databases of journal articles. In the last two or three weeks, when I try to do it using Firefox, only the first page of the pdf display and the rest are empty. In addition, a bar appears in the upper part with the message "this pdf file cannot be displayed properly." So I had to switch to Internet Explorer to open files and do my research. What happens and how can I fix this problem so that you can open PDFs from the Web in Firefox and ask them to work correctly?

    Hello, firefox 19 introduced its own Viewer integrated pdf - if you want to switch it to the plugin you used before displaying a PDF file just go to the firefox options > applications and scroll down and set the default action for the portable document (pdf) format.

  • Bookmarks are not correctly displayed in the iOS app version 15.4

    We are having a problem with the current version of the iOS app.  Bookmarks to a PDF file are displayed in the application, but the part of the text for the bookmark is missing.  We tried to open the PDF in iBooks and bookmarks are displayed correctly.  See the attached images.

    Seeimage1.PNGimage2.PNG

    HI jamieh40910107,

    Thanks for posting the screenshots.  They are very useful.

    The second screenshot shows clearly that the bookmark labels contain newline characters.  Your bookmark labels extend two lines.

    line 1:6.

    line 2:. Horse Expo

    line 1:7.

    line 2:. a. second reading...

    Acrobat Reader for iOS shows only the first line ('6', '7') of each bookmark label and don't watch not the second line.  In contrast, iBooks shows multi-line bookmark labels.

    I will file a bug report for the problem with bookmark multiline labels in Acrobat Reader.

    As a solution, if you have a copy of Acrobat Pro (a PDF editor for Windows or Mac computers), you can change the bookmark labels to remove line break characters and turn them into bookmark single-line labels.

    Alternatively, you can use a trial version for 30 days to see if it fits your needs.

  • File is not correctly displayed when launching

    Hello, I am using Cp6, Windows 7, Flash 11.9 and have a question.  I created a file of cptx for a general tutorial.  I inserted a video (Mp4) that I have careated with Cp6 and published as a Mp4 file.  I inserted via the video > insert video and chose Videof event

    When I publsh cptx file in the tutorial set that is SCORM 1.2 active, I get overall more of the files in the zip folder.  I tried playing this tutorial cloud of SCORM, IE, Chrome and FireFox successfully.  The general tutorial plays as expected and the video plays as expected.

    When I transferred the zipped files published to somone to load into their LMS, everything works fine except when the Mp4 file is played, it starts well, displays the first screen very well and then continues to play all screens after the first screen appear however almost transparent.  And I think that that people LMS load it is the HTML Index_SCORM file.  They said that's the one they download to their LMS.

    I searched throughout the Cp6 a 'framework' that would make this "graduation" beginning on screen 2 effect and see nothing.

    Here is an example of the code sent to the LMS people.  They think it is cool because of this value or the opacity setting.

    html sample.png

    How is this opacity setting in Captivate 6?  If it's that, any suggestions on how to solve it?  Do you think that is what originally start dimming slide 2 MP4 video?  Yet once, it does not on any other files published for example folder the SWF file and it does not happen when I test the whole zip file published on SCORM cloud.

    Thanks a ton!

    If you published package of Captivate SCORM works perfectly well in SCORM cloud then the issue is probably with your LMS Customer or how the people administering have loaded.

    In any SCORM LMS NER I worked with, the file that the CMS wants to look first is NOT the index_SCORM HTML file. This is the imsmanifest.xml file.  This is the file that tells the LMS what are the strengths of the load and how the LMS SCORM player links cot should be put in place.  The user should be launched the SCORM package via the link in the TOC LMS.  My suspicion is that your LMS launches not properly the content and that some of the required JS files are not loaded.

  • Music files are not listed in the Windows Media Player library

    Music files were deleted from Windows Media Player. The need for a Solution.

    AT & T Communication Manager, who gets my mobile internet card online, asked if he could deal with some updates.  I had only had the camera for a few days and assumed he was talking about some AT & T software.

    Next thing I know he turned my internal computer to the outside.  Washed and folded it carefully but seems threw things into the pockets now.  I had to hunt for my documents, but a lot of things are different, changed my toolbars, settings on Open Office.  Cannot access some files.  He was asked to record a program I had a lot of time.  Nothing in the Windows Media Player I had the program adds a big chunk of my record mp3 files music.  But I think that much of the music in my eMusic account, which now has nothing in it, can be conveniently added (unless I'm going one by one I think).  Moreover, my eMusic Download Manager is empty.

    I want to reverse sync my mp3 player but don't know how.  Should I get Windows Media PLayer 11?  I have Vista.

    Thank you very much.  And if you can help without talking over my head I would appreciate it.

    Hey Asher,

     
    1 are the music files on the physical hard disk?
     
    Step 1: If music files are present on the hard drive, then we can manually add the files to themedia player library or create playlists accordingly.

    Step 2: If the files are not deleted permanently from the hard drive, then restore the computer to an earlier time should help. To restore the computer to an earlier time when everything worked well, try the following steps.
    a. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    b. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
    c. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
    d. click Finish.

  • color in CS4 are not correctly displayed since the upgrade to windows 10

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 last week and I had problems with colors does not display does not correctly in CS4. I tried to take a screenshot of exactly what I see in CS4, but when I post it online it seems fine. Telling me that something is now display properly in CS4. It also happens in LR3. When I post the photo online or look at him in the Windows Photo Viewer, it seems. I took a video of what is going on, but the quality is not so great. I apologize. Can anyone help? I have been searching the Internet for two days and can't find an answer to my problem. I went to the Intel website and there is not an updated video driver for my graphics card.

    Most likely you have a bad monitor via Windows Update profile. Manufacturer profiles are notoriously unreliable and often faulty and should always be avoided.

    This will only affect the applications of color management that actually use the profile.

    Recalibrate, or if you have a calibrator uses sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 until you get a.

    Restart Photoshop when done so he can pick up the new profile at startup.

  • PDF bookmarks are not correctly indented

    I have one small unstructured FrameMaker document 2015. When I generate a PDF file, the bookmarks are not indented correctly.

    The document includes sections in the following order:

    Level 1

    Level 5

    Level 5

    Level 4

    Level 5

    Level 5

    My bookmark PDF settings are:

    Level 1

    . Level 2

    .. Level 4

    ... Level 5

    When I generate a PDF, I get the following:

    Level 1

    Level 2

    Level 5

    Level 5

    Level 4

    Level 5

    Level 5

    It is relatively bet back, dealing with level 4 as another level 5 and then further indenting of level 5s that are level 4.

    Someone at - he already seen this before? Any suggestions for fixing (apart from changing the order of the items)?

    It is a design problem. You will need to manually adjust the PDF using Acrobat bookmarks or come with different paratags and levels not to break implicit structure. Have a critical look at the semantic meaning of the paratags you use where there may be alternatives to level 5 to the location that you have placed the. Also what happened to level 3 and how that will work in bookmarks when it gets used somewhere in your documentation?

  • Tecra M5-400 after uprade to Visa - icons, text are not correctly displayed

    Dear users,

    Just upgraded my Tecra M5-400 in Visa Ulimate. The problem now is that the icons, text, etc. are not displayed correctly (big, dull). Tried drivers from Toshiba, but none of them is specific for my model, and some of them do not install.

    Any ideas what I should do or what driver I need to download?
    Thank you!

    Hello

    Your device should have nVIDIA Quadro NVS 110 M graphics card. Google around and try to find the Vista driver for the graphics card.

  • Files are not properly displayed

    I was playing with my rocket with the new firmware update! Unfortunately, I found that folder names do not always display correctly.  They do, however, appear correctly in Solution Explorer window.  I have sync in auto-detection mode (MTP) with WMP.  The courts appear fine, but not the longest.  (also, as a side note, if I make a folder on the computer in MTP mode, even if I rename it, it just seems like 'New folder'.)

    Examples:

    Focus on the family Radio theatre

  • PDF files does not open in IE8, Windows 7__

    I have a new Dell computer running Windows 7, IE8 and the last player Adobe (v.9).
    I can't view the pdf files I get in emails in my Hotmail account.  I need to copy my laptop Windows XP on a USB to transfer and view and print them.  The problem doesn't seem to be with the Adobe reader software, but with Windows programs.

    For those of you running a 64 bit OS, you are aware that Adobe Reader is only 32 bits (and thus connects to the variant 32 bit IE), right?

    You can choose to run the 32-bit Internet Explorer on a 64-bit computer.  I have actually two icons on my desktop; THE 32 bit and 64 bit IE.

    The path to the executable files are:
