I'm having some issues with Apple devices not displaying certain pages of a pdf I've exported from Adobe Indesign (v18.2.1).
On Macs and iPhones, pages 5, 8, 18, 23-26 and 35 are only shown as blank pages, the content is missing.
What I've found out so far:
- The pdf works fine in Adobe Acrobat on all platforms (Mac, Windows, iOS 16).
- The pdf also has no issues when viewed inline in Safari on macOS Ventura.
- the pages mentioned above are shown blank when viewed inline in Safari in iOS, and als in the Books app in iOS 16.
- they are also blank in the Preview app on macOS Ventura.
I've already tried resizing the images on these pages in Indesign, to no avail. I'm exporting pdf 1.4, the images are downsized to 200dpi.

Me too (5) Me too Me too (5) Me too ReplySafari hangs when saving a pdf this is a long running issue (across multiple versions of OS and Safari) and I don't have time to troubleshoot it but it is very annoying. I end up force quitting safari each time. The behaviour is as follows: I get a link to a pdf say in an email (or on a web page). I open this in safari and then 'save as' to store it on my machine. (It prints fine with no issue) Then safari appears to hang (no response, fans eventually start speeding up). I have to select another app and then force quit safari. I do find that it did actually save the pdf file to my disk. So it seems to hang after performing this part of the operation.
Preview Corrupting Existing PDF Hi, Over the past couple of days I have found after adding some PDF pages to an existing PDF document using Preview and saving, when I open the revised document in Adobe all the pages are blank except for the pages I have added. The document opens OK in Safari and preview but not in Adobe Reader. I say the last couple of days because everything worked fine before hand. Paul iMac using Catalina OS 10.15.7
Preview displaying PDF text as white on white background - text disappears Hi I'm running a new Apple M1 Pro with Monterey. I'm having a problem with a PDF that displays correctly in my Firefox browser and on my iPhone but NOT in Preview most of the text is displaying as white. Attached is a screenshot. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, we are concerned this creates an accessibility issue for us. -susan [Link Edited by Moderator]
