If you need guidance on this step, click on your browser's Help option from the browser's main menu and then search for topics related to clearing a browser's cache or deleting a browser's history.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Second, do not attempt to move from page to page before the PDF file fully downloads as this may freeze or lock the downloading process, causing error messages.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>If you are still having trouble downloading or viewing the document after you have cleared your browser's cache, try saving the document to your computer's desktop before opening it.</li> </ul> <ul> <li> Finally, the PDF standard is most compatible with recent updates of Adobe Reader, such as 9, X, or XI, so it is advisable to update your software if you are not using one of these versions. If you still receive error messages after trying the steps above, please contact the Publications Warehouse again.</li> </ul> <br /> <h3>False color rendering of bitmaps, such as photographs:</h3> <p>Chrome version 36.0.1985.125 running On Mac OS X often, but not always, renders bitmaps, such as photographs, incorrectly. Such images are rendered with a strong magenta hue. Google has been notified of this problem, which you can avoid by using a different browser. </p> </br> <h3>Map sheet printing error:</h3> <p>Map sheets may not print from large plotters through some versions of Adobe Reader. These sheets may be printed with Foxit Reader.聽<a href="http://www.foxitsoftware.com">Download the latest version of Foxit Reader</a>, free of charge. </p> <br /> <h3>Portable Document Format (PDF) bookmarks and some links do not work in the Google Chrome PDF Viewer:</h3> <p>The built-in PDF viewer found in the Chrome Web browser does not display PDF bookmarks and links do not always work appropriately. This can be corrected by disabling the built-in PDF viewer and enabling Adobe Reader by following the following directions.</p> <ul> <li>In Chrome, enter, "chrome:plugins" in the address bar to display the list of plugins that are currently available. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Click the Disable link under the Chrome PDF Viewer plugin entry. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Click the Enable link under Adobe Reader plugin entry. </li> </ul> <br />   <div id="usgsfooter"> <p id="usgsfooterbar"> <a href="http://www.usgs.gov/laws/accessibility.html" title="Accessibility Policy (Section 508)">Accessibility</a> <a href="http://www.usgs.gov/foia/" title="Freedom of Information Act">FOIA</a> <a href="http://www.usgs.gov/laws/privacy.html" title="Privacy policies of the U.S. Geological Survey.">Privacy</a> <a href="http://www.usgs.gov/laws/policies_notices.html" title="Policies and notices that govern information posted on USGS Web sites.">Policies and Notices</a> </p> <p id="usgsfootertext"> <a href="http://www.takepride.gov/"><img src="/images/footer_graphic_takePride.jpg" alt="Take Pride in America logo" title="Take Pride in America Home Page" width="60" height="58" /></a> <a href="http://usa.gov/"><img src="/images/footer_graphic_usagov.jpg" alt="USA.gov logo" title="USAGov: Government Made Easy" width="90" height="26" /></a> <a href="http://www.doi.gov/" title="U.S. Department of the Interior">U.S. Department of the Interior</a> | <a href="http://www.usgs.gov/" title="U.S. Geological Survey">U.S. Geological Survey</a><br /> URL: <em>http://pubsdata.usgs.gov/pubs/potential_problems.html</em><br /> Page Contact Information: <a href="https://pubs.usgs.gov/contact">GS Pubs Web Contact</a><br /> Page Last Modified: Friday, 01-Aug-2014 14:05:31 EDT </p> </div>  </li> </ul> </p>  </body> </html>
