PDF's in Mail and Preview not displaying correctly

Hello,

I'm also having a similar issue with pdf's in Preview (and a related (I think) problem with pdf's in MAIL).

I also find the signatures added to a pdf file in ACROBAT, then become pixellated when viewed or printed from PREVIEW.

Has any one found a solution to this issue?

Thanks

I too am so not happy. On my older iMac I was using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 (for Mac). I did our tax returns (many schedules) and I happened to need to open one today and sure enough....all these files are corrupted, with only partially legible "fill in the blank" info! I purchased my current iMac right after we did taxes this year...and after I was assured by pre-sales Apple chat that Preview could do anything Acrobat could do, so that I would not have to upgrade my Acrobat Pro as I did not want to use any other software on my new iMac. Shame on Apple. Tim Cook, you are again getting a letter from this very unhappy customer.

MORE INFO: I tried to "export to pdf" in Preview. That did not resolve. I tried to print, that did not resolve.

I threw in my Acrobat Pro 9.0 disc and installed. Works / views just fine. I guess it's a keeper and Tim Cook et al will for sure get a letter from me.

Hey Guys,

If after all these trials if you still have a transparent backgrounds on the PDF files in Preview, try below

Preview -> View and deselect option "Show Document Background"

It resolved my issues.

I recently updated to the latest operating system macOS Sierra Version 10.12 and found that none of my pdf's would view properly. I followed many discussions on here to correct Preview but the only thing that worked for me was to change my default program to Adobe Acrobat Reader to open pdf's and everything works fine now.

Foxit Reader also works well. Finally I can see my schematics!

I'm having the same issue since updating to 10.12.2. Didn't have the problem with 10.12.1.

I have the same problem. It's the digitaly made forms and anything scanned that's ok
