Background missing when exporting indesign to PDF

Sometimes, when I export a file from indesign to PDF, my background does not appear. The background is just a block of solid color or gradient. The background color block is usually the size of the page. I tried to play to see what is the cause for this and sometimes if I reduce the size of the block to say, 1/3 of the page then the color block appears, but then when I do the size of the page that I actually need it to be, the color block does not appear when I export it in pdf format (I tried all the presets different pdf and it's not a difference)?  Anyone know why and how to remedy?

Thank you!

Check your Acrobat preferences: Edit > Preferences, then click on accessibility and make sure "Replace Document colors" is NOT checked.

  • Preserve black when exporting InDesign to PDF

    Hi all:

    I hope someone who knows that acrobat can help me with this. I have an InDesign file I have to export to PDF. That in itself is not the problem. It is:

    The text in InDesign is black Uni (000000), but once it exports to PDF, it collects a myriad of colours and do not print preperly for newsprint. I do this for a newspaper. I use InDesign, they use Quark. The client using InDesign as well. I can't how to convince Acrobat to let the color alone.

    I tried to understand it with the ink Manager, etc., but for the life of me, no matter what I do, it comes out as all the colors of the Rainbow. It LOOKS black in the PDF, but when you select, it is NOT black. It's a mess. Two full pages of this stuff and I have to redo the darn thing together in Quark, unless I can understand that.

    I tried to use "Preserve Black" once it is in PDF format, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Obviously, I'm missing something in the export of InDesign feature, but I can't understand that.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you, in advance.

    No this is what you must do to [Black] text. I had feared that the text could have been imported and used a different black shade that has been defined as RGG (I've seen this with some files that come in the office). You would see the second swatch in the swatches Panel and it would have an icon RGB (three bands). In this case you would remove the shade and would encourage the IDS for a replacement, for which you would choose [Black].

  • Lines on images when exporting Indesign to JPEG

    I get lines on the images when you export a jpeg file to indesign (with links to illustrator who have incorporated pictures into feathers). Help, please

    The simple solution: do not use EPS. Use HAVE with PDF compatibility. No vector fonts, nest them.

    Hey Willi,

    Sorry I'm new to this. Here are the answers to your questions and I hope you can give some tips.

    1 OSX 10.9.2

    2 indesign CC2014 (I just started to use during the last two weeks)

    3 illustrator CS3 (files that have been given to me, have been created to CS6), I made a few changes to fonts that in CS3 before I had CC bought, but I tried one of the files transferred directly into CC instead of CS3 back and he still has the same problem.

    4. the file I linked IS an eps, I always do an eps because with all my files I leave the fonts in the file have and save a second file, the eps where I saw all the fonts to save all of the possible problems of fonts. But you think that I shouldn't do this?

    5. you can see the lines in Indesign only when high-quality screen, they do not seem to remain in the same position, but at 100% and 200%, they are quite noticeable while 600% zoom, they become less bright. These are dotted lines, they appear differently in each different photograph. I'm not export in PDF, a jpeg file because its for on a Web site. If the lines are perceptible in the jpeg format. I just tried a pdf and they are also in the pdf file. We did not think that what was happening only to images, but in a single file where there is a shadow on the text, he did boxing odd sam-lines around the text.

    6.I exports the JPEG from Indesign CC

    7. I open the jpeg in Photoshop.

    9 seem to stay the same size. You don't see them at all in illustrator eps files.

    10. I can't talk about it. How would know that? Where is that located setting? Thank you

    11. I don't know how to look for color mode - modes are that indesign CC is in CMYK mode. Illustrator CMYK. But when I export as a jpeg I change into RGB in the export process. How can I find the color space? I'm not very technical minded. I'm sorry. That's why I freak out when I get questions like this. I thank very you much for trying to help me.

  • PDF exported from InDesign background missing when open in Illustrator

    Hello, I have a bit of a frustrating problem.

    I'm working on the graphics for a large project, and I need to get some of my InDesign files in Illustrator (they are two CS5) for our printer.

    I would have normally designed them in Illustrator, but my graphics are in InDesign and we just found out once we started on production, it needs to HAVE and needs our trim road put in place for our irregular forms.

    For MOST documents, its fairly easy summer (export in PDF format > open in illustrator and making a cut path > save as HAVE) However, I have this file which makes me lose my mind.

    When I export to PDF, it opens perfectly and seems normal in acrobat, and I also see in the preview as well. The background appears and everything. However when I opened the PDF in illustrator it completely loses the background. I noticed this before a few graphics, but I assumed it was because they had gradients, drop shadows and transparencies and all that. This file has degraded anything weird with the exception of a background of gray.

    Help? I included a few screenshots of what is happening in the hope that you guys can help solve.

    So, we are here to register, and then open it in Acrobat to check things.

    Now, here's what happens when I open it in Illustrator:

    Bob, in this case I think that demand is having it to Illy, because the printing device may be a cutting plotter in a sign shop.

    It seems simple enough that you could easily copy and paste shapes in Illustrator and then redefine the type within a few minutes...

  • GIF Image with a transparent background, has a background color when exporting to PDF

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem when you try to export a Microsoft Word or PowerPoint document which has GIF or PNG image with transparent background. When I save the file as a PDF file with the PDF option "ISO 19005-1 compliant (PDF/A)," the transparent background will have a colorful background after having been exported. This occurs when you try to export from Microsoft Powerpoint and Word 2007. Here is a screenshot of what the Gif and PNG images looks like after export.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to why what is happening?

    Thanks in advance!

    Mike

    PDF/A-1 does not support transparency, so you can't have both.

  • Some letters are missing when I open a PDF file in Firefox. Works fine in other browsers.

    When I open a PDF using Firefox, some letters of the words that are printed on the document are missing. In my view, that the creator of the document used a text box to add 'Draft' on it. The D is missing. I found some words are 'Negotiable no copy' and the C is missing. These same files PDF open correctly in IE and Chrome. Experienced on V22 - V25. Using Windows7

    Are there fonts embedded in the PDF file or the policy that is set as default in Options > content?

    You can right click on the text and use "Inspect element" to open the built-in Inspector and navigate the tabs fonts to see what font is used.

  • Text boxes do not appear when exported to interactive PDF

    I am working on a form of several page that uses 10% gray boxes to indicate the places where people can enter their answers. I made sure all the boxes are checked as "Printable" whereas they should appear when I export to interactive PDF and print. However, when I export to interactive PDF, some mailboxes displayed. I tried save the file as a .idml, opening and export from there, but some original boxes appear and new boxes are not displayed. Anyone know how I can get all the boxes to show?

    Figured it out! All the text boxes need to have a different label. For example, you can't text boxes on pages that carry the two NOTES.

  • Keep the multiple page layout when exporting as a PDF

    I created a presentation of several page, I would like to export them to PDF while keeping several page display so that the customer can easily understand how it will look. It currently exports to single pages rather than the 3 beautiful spread I created the page.

    It seems in fact that there is no need to be created as facing pages, as long as you have the doc configured not to mix and you drag the pages together into a single unit. Check the "Spreads" box in the export dialog box.

  • Text missing when exporting pdf to word doc

    I'm trying to export a pdf file to word in Acrobat DC, but despite all my efforts on 2/3 of the text disappears. The headers appear, but the text body is unrecognizable because of so many missing characters.  I tried to print the PDF to the PDF printer, but no dice. I'm also pretty sure that I have the font that was used in the document already downloaded - does anyone else have this problem?

    PDF to Word, Excel or any other format conversion is one of the most complex things, you can try to do it with a PDF file. It works very well in some cases, in other cases, the output doesn't have much to do with the original file. The key to success is that the PDF file must be "marked" - which means that it contains information about the information displayed in the file. The best way to ensure that a PDF file is properly tagged is using the PDFMaker in Acrobat to create PDF from Word or Excel file (this is the Acrobat Ribbon or toolbar).

    Unfortunately it is not that you can do to improve the output without spending a lot of time (for example manually tracking file). In addition, if you use Adobe ExportPDF service and do not have access to Acrobat, it is even not an option.

    In most cases, the only thing you can do is complain to the original author of the file and tell them that they used a PDF generator bad to create the PDF file.

    Sometimes you get better results when you export the entire file for the individual (e.g. 600 dpi) TIFF images, and then re-import these TIFF images in PDF format and finally run OCR and export to Word.

  • Fuzzy / blurry fonts in pdf format when export indesign

    Hi all

    I did a lot of research / reading via the internet (and forum) but I still cannot find a solution to this:

    -J' I saved my (drawings, texts, graphics) pdfs in illustrator.

    -J' have 'place' in Indesign.

    -In indesign, I click on 'Export', "adobe pdf (print)", "high quality print".

    Result: the texts on the embedded PDF files are blurred. I used 2 fonts - one is fine and can be changed in the exported pdf file (garamond);  'arial' looks pixelated & fuzzy.

    What I tried:

    -J' tried exporting as long as 'settings pdf X 1 a 2001' as it is mentioned that it is good for printing.

    -J' tried clicking on "do not downsample" in "all compression.

    -J' checked also "find the police", to see if the 'arial' is true fonts. This is the case.

    What can I do else? Please advise. Thank you in advance.

    Not the way to do it.

    In Illustrator just do a file > save and save I.

    Which place in InDesign and you should be all set.

  • Background disappears when you save as PDF

    Mac OS 10.4.11, Acrobat Pro CS4 - Saving year A4 Illustrator file (or InDesign) with a complete color in PDF format background leaves the background - see attachment. Even if I delete everything in the file and save it leaves even the background. I have tried several resolution settings in the PDF dialog, used spot more CMYK color and flattened before the Save as PDF. Never had this problem with the previous version of Illustrator/Acrobat, I also posted this in the Acrobat Forum as I'm not sure which program is the author of the offence.

    salochin,

    Have you thought about reinstall Acrobat?

  • Nonprinting buttons appearing in the wrong order when you export to interactive PDF!

    I am a customizable holiday gift certificate creating generic view on our website for download. I create using InDesign CS6. The idea is that the interactive PDF can be opened in the reader, one of the six charts of certificate can be selected (via the radial buttons that hide/show graphics that have been converted into buttons), and various text fields can be filled in. Then, the certificate can be printed and cropped. I have all the interactive elements, works very well, including the "print" key. The interactive PDF looks like this:

    Waste_Free_Certificates_correct.jpg

    However, when printing, I would ONLY the certificates and the fields of text to print and not the instructions, header, or radial buttons selection certificate or full color, background. The point of this is so that the user doesn't lose the ink. I want to print like this:

    Waste_Free_Certificates_printed.jpg

    At first I tried to make nonprinting objects, but which also shows them not when exported to interactive PDF. I then tried the same thing by putting on another layer and uncheck "print layer" (but check "show layer"), but I came across the same result. After searching the forums, I discovered that the only way to make these nonprinting elements, yet still visible in the interactive PDF, is to convert each object to a button and then uncheck the "Printable" box in the window buttons and forms. I did, and now everything seems to work fine...

    Except that when you export, export buttons in order of stacking poorly, like this:

    Waste_Free_Certificates_wrong.jpg

    This color background continues to go on in front of all the rest. Even if I put it on it's very own layer under layer with all other charts (converted to buttons) on this subject, he always appears in front of all the other buttons. It is the same whether or not I have check the box create Acrobat layers. What the devil I'm doing wrong?

  • image quality emf export indesign file to PDF

    In my business, I prepare pdf reports. PDF files include graphics generated in excel.


    the process I use is:

    make charts in excel-> export graphics to the emf format in the specific folder (as emf is done with macro vba to export)-> link EMF to indesign-> export indesign as pdf (print)

    I am trying to implement a type of graph that includes transparency (in the specific case, a histogram with transparent colors, highlight a specific area of the graph).

    EMF are exported "correctly", as can be seen in the fixed samples

    the problem arises in indesign, when I export the indesign file to PDF (see final results):

    -J' I used to use compatibility Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3), which - for what I understand - does not recognize transparency and causes the diagrams to export with transparency to 100%

    -If I use greater compatibility (Acrobat 5 or higher), transparency is exported correctly but all the tables and "fuzzy" exported graphics (or maybe a little too intense). The effect is not considered at higher zooms - but it is important to me as graphics look OK at all zooms because report is sent to customers with initial view as full page.

    using another format that emf is not a viable option. What can be a solution in this situation? I would like to understand what is the type of adjustment of export should I use to get a clean exit.

    in case the problem is known, I would like if you can please redirect me to correct the discussion.

    Thank you.

    You can post screenshots or link to files in a dropbox folder. That said, you are using an inherently low high-end, imprecise graphical format and is awaiting the results of high-end. There are tradeoffs here.

    The best advice I can give you without you actually hire me to go through your workflow, is to stick with solid colors and make sure your transparency blend space in InDesign are defined in RGB if these documents will be viewed on screen only.
