The attached PDF file contains a bitonal image which uses the DeviceGray color space, has a BitsPerComponent value of 1, and uses color key masking to make the white pixels transparent (via a Mask array).

The file contains a shipping label with a large X over the entire label, and the text "VOID" over the barcode. One of the lines forming the large X is under the image, and the other is above the image. The "VOID" text is under the label image.

Expected Result: The large X and the "VOID" text are fully visible at any window size, and remain visible both during and after window resize.

Actual Result: When the Acrobat Reader window is larger than a certain size, the image white color mask works correctly and the full X and "VOID" text are visible. But below a certain window size, as the window gets smaller, the full X and the "VOID" text are only visible during the window resize, and become invisible as soon as the window has finished resizing. Please see attached GIF of the window resizing. One of the lines in the X remains visible throughout, because it is not below the image, and thus is not affected by the broken color masking.

Environment: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2021.011.20039 on Windows 7

Following bug has been introduced with a recent Adobe Reader (or Windows?) update. It affects all our customers.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a 64 Bit C# application (32 Bit Works)
2. In the application, use ActiveX, or WebBrowser control and open/navigate to "C:\documentname.pdf"

Expected result: PDF shows up

Actual result: Screen stays gray. In the Windows Error Reporting you will see that AcroPDFImpl64.dll has crashed.

It is very important for us, because our customers rely on this functionality and our software product is currently not useable due to this bug.

Please contact me through email info at hickelsoft.de . Thank you very much!

Top Considerations Before Migrating

Ensure Your Active Directory is Healthy
If you’re an Active Directory house (and you probably are), you’re most likely going to use something called Azure AD Connect (AADC). This allows folks to login with the same credentials they use for applications not being moved to the cloud.

But first, you need to ensure your Active Directory is healthy enough to synchronize with Azure. This means bringing a couple of tools into play.

First, review your Organizational Unit (OU) structure and decide if you want all that extraneous data pushed into the cloud. Many objects aren’t necessary for the cloud, so why push them there? Perhaps all you need to be migrated are user accounts and some distribution and security groups. Better to adjust the structure so that when you select the OUs to synchronize in Azure AD Connect (AADC), you don’t have to jump through more hoops to select what you want (and deselect what you don’t).

Next, run Microsoft’s IdFix tool. This will provide a report of all the fields (names, addresses, etc.) that are incompatible with Azure Active Directory. IdFix also finds duplicate addresses and invalid characters. Since you’ve already tidied up the OU structure, you can tackle the objects you know are in-scope first, then return to clean up the rest of the directory when time permits.

Review Your Current Email Environment

Spend some time cleaning up old distribution lists and removing mailboxes that are no longer required or in use. You don’t want to waste time (and perhaps licenses) on old data and users who are no longer with the company. Work with HR to clean the Exchange databases and purge any mailboxes that are no longer required. Management, legal and perhaps HR will also have a handle on how many emails ought to be retained. Sometimes, policies to purge old data are not universally applied. Don’t forget to ask users to purge data they know they shouldn’t keep but are reluctant to delete. The more unnecessary data you have, the longer it will take to move the good data to Exchange online with the help of the Exchange Online Migration service..

Prepare Your Existing Email Security & Hygiene
Message hygiene solutions are prevalent these days, both on-premises and cloud-based. These include Mimecast, Proofpoint, and Barracuda, to name just three. Each of these offers documentation on integrating with Office 365. Mainly, these services scan and pass SMTP traffic, so there’s little else that need to be done. Download the relevant documentation from the vendor and review the Office 365 sections. These will help you configure the service to send Email into Office 365 rather than to the on-premises server, as well as configuring the outbound connector to send messages from Office 365 Cloud to Cloud Migration based solution.

Gather Info About All Applications & Services for SMTP Relay
Gather information about all applications deployed on-premises that need to send Email. Your IT help desk system, timesheet system, and expense notifications will all need to start delivering Email to Office 365. At your earliest opportunity, document everything and discuss reconfiguring the applications with the service owners. It’s best to get these things ironed out before moving users.
