Yosemite not displaying PDF's properly in Preview - SOLVED

| Published Tuesday, January 06, 2015


After upgrading to OS X Yosemite, Preview stopped displaying some PDF's properly.  When launching a PDF I would get a gray screen followed by a black screen.  The only option was to hold the power button down to shut the machine down. 

After searching the Apple Discussion forums and submitting a bug report to Apple, I finally stumbled upon the fix.  

1.  Go into Preview Preferences.
2.  Select the PDF tab.
3.  Uncheck "Smooth text and line art."

That's it!  Problem solved.
