ugly pdf

For some reason any when I do a .pdf of my Framemaker 9 document, some stuff doesn't come out right.  For example, any place where I used an Arial Narrow font, it looks like Times New Roman in the pdf file.  If I use the Arial font, it looks good in the pdf, but in order to get the effect of the Arial Narrow in the pdf, I use Arial with the stretch value 90% in my framework document.

And also, some colors do not look very good in the pdf.  In the framework document, they look like I want it to do, but when I do the pdf, they find themselves looking for a little muddier.

What's up with that?

When using FM9 and save to PDF, make sure that 'Convert CMYK colors to RGB' is turned on. If this check box is disabled, various problems may be encountered, including issues related to fonts.

[If this solves your problem of fonts and the colors aren't always what you expect them to be, there is a setting in the maker.ini which can help]

  • Interactive PDF Web sound-problems buttons will not play on the other, and ugly gray boxes are visible

    When I export my interactive pdf file and open the html or swf file, it works exactly as I want it, but it works on my computer because I have all the links and resources on my computer included in a zip file. The only way I can get others to see it seems to be downloading the zip on dropbox and others who download and then extract files, which is not practical. I would like to integrate the interactive pdf on a Web site or a blog, so it does not directly on the page without having to download all the recources publishes the new web feature seems it might be a good solution, but when I try to publish, it is not working properly users.

    Screenshot (148).png

    My project is to play several audio files on the other, so if a user clicks a button sound is read, and if you click on another button, the first sound will not stop, they will play together. So, for example, if you click on the top button, a beat will play, and if you click on the guitar slot, a guitar sound will play on the beat. It works fine on my computer in the swf or html file, but for some reason any when I publish it to the web, it will only play a sound at the same time. The pace will just stop playing if you click on one of the instruments, which makes the entire project useless. Another problem is that I can't seem to remove the gray boxes without taking away his ability to make it sound. The first photo is that it is supposed to look like, and here's what it looks like when I publish it to the web:

    Screenshot (147).png

    In addition, as you can see, it does not export as interactive PDF, it exports an indd file. It's clickable and interactive however, just with a few bugs.

    Can someone either help me to correct the parameters in the function of online publication, or to teach me another way to incorporate the project on a blog or a website?

    Thanks in advance.

    Interactive PDF is a roll of the dice in a browser and using SWF out from. He died a technology as it is and will work on any mobile system, or on a desktop computer that does not have flash player installed.

    Without knowing what you were doing, it is impossible to tell you why post them online does not work for you but you should really take the time to know what interactive feature are and are not supported with each format.

  • Text and PDF is faded, semi transparent and unreadable.

    Hello
    Since the installation of Firefox 6, when I tried to open a PDF file, the image looks like it summer flows in a bad copy machine that is almost out of ink and is semi-transparent. (I can see the background image to display on my desktop via the PDF). I have Adobe Reader X 10.1.0 installed version, which seems to be the last plugin. (I checked all my plug-ins Adobe are up-to-date and also disabled every plugin but Adobe Acrobat and the problem persists.) I also noticed this problem with some of the text in the Flash applications, I opened it, such as practical a quiz site for a manual that I use for school. This does not occur in Internet Explorer, or when I open a PDF file in the viewer Adobe, leading me to think it's a Firefox problem. It's pretty frustrating that I can't read my documents online or study for my exams using Firefox, because overall, it's my browser of choice. Counsel on how I can try to fix this problem? Thank you.

    I have Firefox 6 (but several versions have the same problem) and was faced with the same problem and finally found the Solution. Firefox has hardware acceleration is enabled by default. You must disable.

    You can do it under Tools-> Options-> advanced. Uncheck the hardware acceleration

    1, type about: config in your address bar and promise to be careful, then search in gfx.direct2d.disabled preference name.
    Double-click the preference to True.

    2, check disable it Firefox Direct2D and DirectWrite Hardware Acceleration.
    Find the name of the preference gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled .
    Double-click the preference to false.

    Restart Firefox. You should get clear, sharp images as well as correct rendered PDF back. It worked for me!

  • scan to PDF or missing the twain interface

    Series of HP D110 printer/scanner, prod # CN731A

    When I arrived to this printer, she had a scan to the pdf option, but after installing the updates, the feature was lost somewhere. Specifications also state that there is a twain interface for this device, but it is not in the software.

    I use the scanner probably more than the printer. It's an ugly printer, jams a lot. How can I scan to PDF? Find a twain interface for this?

    I used to love the HP printers, but lately all I got seems to be worse than the last. I got it at a great price for an emergency situation. Indicates that the warranty expired before I bought the printer!

    TWAIN is integrated in the HP Solution Center, software of digitization. This is the interface that our software uses to communicate with the printer. If you want just a standalone scanning application, I recommend you search your computer for the "HPSCAN.exe", but according to the version supplied with your software, it can just implement the Solution Center. I know that some versions have their own independent analysis component, but I saw where it was incorporated with the solution center software.

  • HP Photosmart C4480 - blurry text when printing *.pdf

    Hi,

    I seem to be a common problem but can't seem to find a common solution. I have a printer [HP Photosmart C4480] who works well for ages. Now, however, seems to have problems printing pdf. As I said (or rather typed), This seems to be a common problem. In other sources on the internet, it is described as dark printed text or text that looks blurry (for example, here). It seems also the text is printed in a shade bluish the color of the font of the text itself is black. Just for the record:

    -J' restarted my computer. 3 times;

    -J' have 2 new hp original cartridge in the printer. The printer is aligned cleaned and everything;

    -L' printer is OK with other files (meaning not being not not *.pdf);

    -This isn't the files. They are ok. It's several files from several reliable sources (for example, my University) that all print sharp printers not HP. I would include a sample attachment, but I can't... O well. I'll add a link. You are here. (* Edit: link has been removed after the problem has been resolved).

    -The problem with the same printer on 5 consecutive laptops running Windows XP upwards and up to what Windows 8. All have the latest version of Adobe.

    -Adjustment of the color to print in black and white (only black and white) does not deny the problem.

    * Edit:-connected via USB.

    * Edit:-portable Test computer running Microsoft Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium (Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
    Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601).

    * Edit 2:-tried another cable USB (thanks for the suggestion Rich1!). Unfortunately, no results .

    * Edit 3:-problem solved partially. Software incompatibility between HP and Adobe. See the workaround. Only works for gray-scale printing.

    * Edit 4: Rich1 helped me to identify the problem. Seems that when printing the PDF files, the printer does not seem to use black ink and in turn simulates black by combining the primary colors (which gives all the quality of the results, where the blur). This problem also exists in Acrobat with Foxit substitution (for example).

    With sincere friendships.

    I think I've solved the problem, even though it may persist in color prints.

    HP, this seems to be a widespread between the printing software and Acrobat Reader problem. I suggest that you find a more permanent solution. First mention of the problem lies in 2008 and it is widespread, but you seem to be ignorant.

    As to the question.

    This question seems to raise its ugly head after an update to Acrobat Reader. Several sources confirm this. As is the case, software HP seems to be an incompatibility with Acrobat Reader. It sucks because it is the most popular format for sharing on the internet of documents.

    As for the solution.

    1. do not use any web application to print. Save the file. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader;

    2. open the print menu [file > print];

    3. click [Advanced] at the top right of the screen.

    4. under color management, check that box to the left of something to the effect of "let the printer choose colors". (I have an English version of the software Acrobat Reader installed, bear with me. Press [OK];

    5. to return to the main print window, go to the menu of [Properties] in the top right of the screen. It should be next to the menu advanced;

    6. in the Properties menu, select the [color] tab. Once there, select an item to the effect of "print in grayscale". Directly under this option must be a menu drop-down. In this menu, select "use only black ink. Press [OK];

    7 print the file. As long as you print in black and white, the focus should be good.

    Hope this helps someone else! If you like my solution, give this guy there Rich1 some kudo is such that at least he had the kindness to answer and help me solve this problem.

    Thank you!

  • I leave acrobat from adobe, how can I read my PDF files now?

    I can't even open my PDF files without dialog telling me that I need to subscribe first. I think it's pretty ugly, I can't access any PDF on my computer now because once I got adobe acrobat and don't want more. I need help.

    Hi maryh71916491,

    I would like to know exactly which version of the software installed on your system. If you use Acrobat Reader (for viewing PDF free versoion) & trying to make changes with in the Document, and then you will receive this message because PDF files can be edited in Acrobat Pro. So, make sure that you open the file in the appropriate program.

    If you want to just display the pdf file, you can open it in Adobe Reader, you can use this link to download the latest Adobe Reader DC:- Adobe Acrobat Reader DC install for all versions

    Also, you can share the screenshot of the message you are getting.

    Kind regards

  • Problem with .png with transperencies export InDesign PDF files

    We did a layout-design, with transparent png. In the past, when we have exported this indesign doc as PDF X 3-2003 we never had problems with it (using earlier versions of Indesign).

    Unfortunately with the latest version of Indesign, we have ugly boxes in our last print issue, which give as if 100% Transp. would decline about 90%.

    Also, the large print service company has not any expaination for this. We use the latest series of CC portfolio.

    It has not tried .tiff files with alpha channels yet, since our production pipeline is based on png files, and it worked.

    If anyone has a similar problem, I'd be interested to hear:

    I think that it is connected to this http://indesignsecrets.com/eliminating-ydb-yucky-discolored-box-syndrome.php

    Similarly, if you work with PNGS in InDesign for printing, you should use PSD files as PNG does not support color management, only the alpha transparency, this is only a selection of transparency, which can support PDF.

    In InDesign, you should in aspects of quality import PDFS, I, PSD and avoid EPS.

  • DC fonts appear ugly. How can they be changed?

    Hello!

    I recently updated to Adobe Reader Adobe Reader DC XI. Outside of the user interface, I realized that the police (or expose it) changed radically PDF files. Now it's horribly ugly! And readability suffers greatly! Here is a comparison:

    Adobe Reader XI-reader_xi.png

    Adobe Reader DC-reader_dc.png

    There is a huge difference! Somewhere I found the advice to turn the option "Page view > use local fonts" power, but I wouldn't change a thing. Why the fonts changed so drastically? How can I return this change?

    Thanks for any help!

    I found the answer. I went to preferences > Page display and switched to "smooth text: None" to "smooth text: laptop / LCD screen» In fact, any option other than 'None' is very well. This solution has me incredibly long to find. -.-

  • How do I get rid of the ugly gray black outline or dark around PSD with any transparency in Illustrator?

    In the new 2015 Illustrator, import a PSD with transparency brings an ugly gray outline dark around the non-transparent areas. It is not to get to the exit, but it appears in evidence PDF that raises red flags with everyone who sees it. The PSD save options or display options in Illustrator? I have not found any that contributes yet.

    Another thing, try:

    Toggle between the preview of the GPU and the RGB (or CMYK) overview using cmd-E (mac) or ctrl-E (win).

    He could make a difference.

    Alternatively, you can try to disable GPU performance in preferences.

  • Simple vector PDF look OK in preview, distorted in Adobe Reader?

    I'm working on a document in Illustrator CS5 on Mac OS 10.5.8. The doc is supposed to consider mainly through e-mail, possibly printed on a desktop printer.

    I am replacing some letters with vector objects - basically, I use simple rectangles to substitute for "I" s with unwanted serifs, in a small part of the title text. When I save as PDF, the document resulting looks great in the preview, but seen in Adobe Reader 10 (most likely that he will be seen on at the end of the reception), these uniform rectangles of copy - paste appear ugly variations in the height, width, and alignment with the rest of the text. I have no idea why this is happening.

    More likely to be relevant info: vectorize in order to apply a 'shift', I converted the rest of the title text. The other text remains all visually very consistent between .ai and .pdf formats. It's only these fortune "I" s who are deformed.

    Please advise!

    Making at least an additional anchor point in each of these rectangles.

  • Why are so ugly fonts?

    When I use the Adobe Acrobat Reader (10.1.8.24) plugin in Firefox (25.0.1 in this case) that I get terriby ugly fonts of domcuments I invoke sites.

    In MSIE 11.0.9600 fonts look fine and anti-aliasing. Not the case in FF.

    Example (if ugly):

  • Output PDF and Excel cell spacing problems

    Hi all..
    I have a report and a model whose production should be both in PDF and Excel.

    Lets say I have two tables put one under the other. (Table 1 and table 2 below it..)

    Table 1 has 5 columns and table 2 to 30 columns.
    In PDF format because it is difficult and ugly to display 30 columns, I made 6 (very small font) fonts

    Output PDF seems fine. But, when I open the reort in excel... all dirty sound upward and ugly.
    Width of column 1 of the table is very uneven. lI noted that table 1, table 2 coulmns width are the same...
    For my requirement, they must have widths separated... Also... When I open the report in Excel, I always get in 6 font size which is ugly

    I want the table1 column width and width of column 2 of the table in as separate Excel...

    How to achieve them.

    If I open the pdf file in 'Preview' on a Mac it does not give this ugly warning.

    I dragged and filed a 'checkbox' sample on my workspace. The second area is wider, because I want the 'clickable area' is greater than just the button. There is no pigment not set here the color of the ticks/crosses. All seems well until I have export to PDF (usual interactive options) and it's kinda ugly background behind the buttons!

    I checked other 'States' and none of them had color in them either... so where is this ugly blue color coming from?

    It is part of Acrobat to highlight areas to fill out a form. It can be disconnected in Acrobat, look in the help file for these functions to do with forms and areas to fill.

    Unfortunately, everyone will have their own settings in Acrobat, I don't think you can do this defect, it will be little matter how people have their set Acrobat in place for discovers of interactive PDF documents.
