User oakcan reported suffering from the same problem and resolved it by calibrating his display. The solution may have been simple, but it was far from obvious. In that discussion, which also revolved around Preview and High Sierra, the problematic PDFs had been scanned in Image Capture and opened fine on other Macs. Nothing I suggested made any difference, but after some more research, Chris reported back with the solution, which he found in a thread in the Apple Support Communities. When he sent me the PDF, it opened and displayed fine in Preview on my Mac, running the same versions of macOS and Preview.
TidBITS reader Chris Lee wrote to ask if I’d heard of issues with a PDF’s thumbnails rendering correctly, but each actual page showing as a single large black rectangle in the latest version of Preview under macOS 10.13.2 High Sierra. Most of the time, the problems are limited to a single corrupt PDF that might be viewable or printable with Acrobat Reader instead of Preview, but sometimes the concerns go deeper. Thanks to our coverage of the problems PDFKit has faced in Sierra and High Sierra (see the article series “ PDFKit Problems”), I occasionally hear from readers who are having troubles of one sort or another with PDFs.
