Pdf shows all black

However, I cannot "Open with" the pdf as the black screen will not allow me to do that. Only in Safari. My problem was with the Save PDF feature and generated pdfs like bank statements. My solution was to not use the Safe PDF feature for these pdfs. I'll try getting rid of the EN Safari widget which I love, but can live without it.

Update: Evernote for Android and iOS Followers 4. Recommended Posts. Posted May 8, Hi there, since a couple of days i'm not able to open pdf attachments on my Ipad.

Opening the pdf gives me a black blank sceen with no content see attached file The note itself with the pdf is usable and works fine on my windows copy and also on my android device. Any hints on this? I'm the only one in the EN universe with this? Best wishes Harald. Link to comment. CalS 4, Posted May 8, Does this happen for all PDFs?

Those and finding that Preview would occasionally convert a single rotated scanned image into a black rectangle, and refuse to undo the damage. Oh for the happy days of yore when one could regard Windows users with a certain smug condescension.

Seems to me Preview has more problems than just the black pages. First and foremost, since at least Mac OS X Clicking on the page 2 thumbnail resolves that problem thereafter.

Bad Apple! Preview is unusable for these documents. Searching such documents, for example that Moneydance document, causes Preview to hang forever, requiring a force-quit. Preview is oblivious to whatever document errors or other conditions cause this behavior.

I'm in no way saying that you're not having these problems, but at least those I can test here are specific to your Mac, not Preview in general. The down arrow and Pay Down keys work fine, for instance. So the question is why you're having these problems.

The most likely culprits are corrupted preferences files, so you might look at deleting those. You can test easily by creating a new user account or just logging in as guest and trying to open the same PDFs.

It would also be interesting to see if the problems recur with a Safe Boot. It's not inconceivable the that the problem is deeper in your Mac, at which point you might have to consider reinstalling macOS from scratch.
