export to PDF as black dark black of 100 k

Hey guys,.

I shook my brain for quite a long time on this issue, it is time to ask the wider community.

When I export a pdf file with any of my profiles for export, all blacks 100 k of overprint (black shade) are exported as CMYK. It's okay if it's a text or a graphic, the document as a whole is CMYK.

My BulletProof export profiles for 2 years, I use many printers so I always export using a very generic profile. Over the past two days, something happened with my settings and eveything I export has this problem. I paid on my settings and none of this has led me to a response.

My only solution is to convert my generic profile with numbers stored.

This makes the problem go away, but he's not answering the question of why he changed after all this time.

Help.

Thank you Dov, anything that makes sense.

You're right, I have no idea how he works long, generally the workflow was to convert all images specifically for the output profile then export however recently (in the last two days) I was linking the images of all kinds of profiles and conversion to export.

I think I have nailed the problem, working from what you suggested, I discovered that my color settings have been reset, so in fact, I was working a CMYK profile and export the PDF to another. Fix my intent profile to match my output profile has solved the problem. Export as expected.

Dov that you think I should still run into problems I had the chance to avoid?

  • Does not export the text in black

    I use InDesign CS 3 and you have created a PDF file for a self published book which has the art of the color and the text. They require RGB files, so nothing is in CMYK mode.

    I received the proof of the sample and it is great except that the text is not a pure black: he has shades of light color from one page to another (reddish black, greenish black, bluish black).

    Is there a setting in preferences in InDesign, or maybe in the settings for exporting the file in PDF format that can remedy this? I had the preference of the "appearance of Black" value "output all blacks as Rich Black. Change to "Output all blacks accurately" fix it?

    Thank you very much in advance for any help or advice you can offer.

    Zina,

    I read your first posting and responses of others and yourself.

    (1) he would have no sense which 'they' (I guess that your printer or Publisher) requires RGB files. There is nothing about digital printing via PostScript or PDF which requires RGB or CMYK files. Reliable PDF print publishing process would dictate that you let your images in their original RGB color spaces with their profiles. The RIP process should automatically convert these images to CMYK using your RGB source profiles and printer CMYK destination profile. On the other hand, black text should never repeat never, be done in RGB, unless you try to achieve some special effects such as the so-called intense Black, generally 100 %K with some other color components. Rich black would generally not done for text other than for big screen type. Even sointense Black would be generally specified in CMYK mode to achieve some expected exact effect. So, either specify typical black text in RGB (255,255,255 generally) or output text components and images as a file PDF RGB is far from safe. A PDF file preserving the original colors is what you want and need.

    (2) the question of InDesign for Appearance of Black preference affects only the display on the screen and real non- peripheral PostScript printing. It has no effect whatsoever for printing to PostScript or PDF export devices.

    (3) you will need to have a good discussion with CSR your printer (customer service) or their expert pre-press as to what they do in their workflow. If you have them sent a PDF file with CMYK black text (i.e., 0,0,0,100%) and with the RGB RGB images with profles, you shouldn't be seeing the results that you did in the so-called evidence they sent you.

    Proceed with caution, or you may find yourself with a costly mistake. Something is not quite right with what the printer ask to you or the printer does in its workflow with the PDF file, you provide.

  • How can I export to PDF for printing Offset, including colors and grayscale of the photo?

    After reading dozens of forum, I not yet found the answer.

    I made a photo album with full-colur and b & w photos for Offset print. I want to be for the b & w grayscale avoid the hues of colors possible. It seems that InDesign does not support the shades of gray, how images become dark. Even with export without any conversion of color or the destination and/or including profiles of original colors, the images are exported to obscurity as a PDF to grayscale.


    How can I export to PDF for printing Offset, including colors and grayscale of the photo?

    Yes, Photoshop & ID CMYK working spaces are the same

    This can become difficult because 3 programs manage proofing differently.

    Work spaces don't matter, document profiles that handle the preview. So here's the same image in grayscale, placed in the ID on the top and PS on the bottom. I put my info in Photoshop to display the profile of doc in the lower left corner. I can see the profile of my InDesign CMYK Document in my test format (CMYK work is different and is not used). The two profiles are actually the same coated FOGRA39 (Black Ink FOGRA in the case of the PS).

    But the previews do not match because I disabled, so the preview InDesign is Gamma 2.2 or a "screen" media preview overprinting.

    If I turn on overprint preview, I get a match because I'm soft proofing for printing:

  • Right side of placed images are cut when exporting to PDF

    Hi all

    I am a beginner still trying to wrap my mind about InDesign and all its features and have encountered a problem with export to PDF. On the right, 1-4 pixels are cut off! I think my problem may be related to what has been discussed in this thread:

    InDesign, problem of Image with PDF export... straight cut...

    But my question has nothing to do with Visio. I'm simply put PNG and JPG files that have already been created and stored locally on my computer. I found that the only way to solve this problem is to add a few columns of pixels of space white/empty in my images so that the straight line of frame in the images (created by Adobe Illustrator) appear.

    Having to change my images first before placing them in InDesign is obviously not the best or the right solution.

    Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this problem and how to fix? Maybe there's a setting somewhere for the picture frames that should be adjusted?

    You say that the border is the placed graphic? No, don't do that. Make the image as the image only, apply the border via the framework (and via an object style).

    I don't know why the gross pixel is truncated, could be an error in the workflow or a bug, it should not happen, but you must not include in the file anyway.

    When the files came from Illustrator, use HAVE or PDF/X-4, never no raster such as PNG, BMP or JPG image. If it is printed, text and vector will be printed with the maximum resolution of printers and the quality, raster images cannot be better than the resolution of the image. PNG also supports only RGB and print it not so good, because it would be a CMYK graphic with clear black.

  • CS4 export to PDF problem

    I'm the editor of layout for my high school newspaper, and we recently had a new imac. We put cs4 on it and made our first page.

    I exported to PDF (with the same settings as on the old mac that works very well) and all the headlines turned to black boxes. We then took the form of indesign files the new mac put it on the former and exported out of that old and everything went well. Note the black boxes.http://imgur.com/eOdm9yG

    That's what went wrong...

    That's what we want...http://imgur.com/qdIDQQM

    Thanks in advance for any help

    I return to my computer. I see the boxes here and it's certainly a kind of problem of availability of fonts, if she says that the police is incorporated. If I select and change the font of the text appears.

    The fonts in question are HelveticaNeue HelveticaNeue-Bold and HelveticaNeue - Italic (TT). Here are the versions of the Mac of Helvetica Neue systems?

    CS4 is fully patched on the new system?

  • How can I get this file exported in PDF format

    How can I get a single file magazine among many others to export to PDF?  For 12 years, we used different versions of ID to produce a magazine that is black & white, sent to the printers in PDF for offset. We kept of many originals of color photo that we had converted to grayscale.  We do visit back editions, replacement of grayscale images with color when we haave it and export of high quality Print PDF.  These are displayed on a web page for customers to download back issues.

    The May 2011 edition is exporting in PDF format, at least not with the same settings as before and after this date questions, and different export settings does nothing for the situation.  Tried .idml export and opening as a new file as suggested in the FAQ.  This is saved as a new ID file under a new name.  Still won't export to PDF, although the export of .idml went smooth as a whistle.  Have been verified links and relinked two images in grayscale which was reported in the file links.  No change.  Have replaced outdated (TT) fonts with new (OT).  No change.  We continue to work backwards in time with these conversions, and always the older files export fine after the insertion of color.  It is ID5 on a Win7 machine with lots of RAM.  This part done ID5 to a creative suite so other applications are available in the machine.  Don't have not trashed preferences, because they work with the editions before and after the trouble.  What should I do next?

    Thank you, Pierre.  Export a page both reduced the search down to a problem page, which has turned having a problem with a graph that is used in each issue.  Replacement and reissue of links that graphic design has exceeded this bump.  It was on the new copy of the file that has gone through all the other changes described previously, so I don't know if they have had no effect.  Need to return other issues rather than experiment with the original file.

    Is there a way to export to PDF format and grayscale?

    If you do file/print, there is an output option where you can select Composite gray and check a text of the black box.

  • White lines around png when exporting to PDF

    I'm having the problem that the imported images frequently have white around the outside of the image bars when the document is exported to PDF format. Looking at the two images currently affected, I noticed that they are two PNG images. I have fixed the image that was just rectangular turning them just in a JPEG file that I did not require the use of transparency, but the second object is another question, and I require the use of png transparency. These lines are not normally present when in indesign.

    Line is noticeable only in one place where a black rectangle together black background (only the upper part of the rectangle is visible on black as one side is covered and the other side is outside the crop area) so I don't know if it's the only spot, it happens.

    The line isn't even a straight white line!

    I had this problem before with lines that appear around objects that should not be there, as well as objects are not like they do in inDesign, any advice to solve this?

    I don't think you should use PNG for the files that will be printed. You would probably get better results if you saved your png as TIFF and replaced in the layout.

    In any case, it could be a consequence of the piquant effect and just one thing on the screen only when it prints very well.

    In Acrobat disable "Smooth line art" and "Smooth images" in the Page display preferences and the white lines could disappear.

    See if that helps

  • Numbers - cannot export to PDF

    MacBook pro OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

    I have the 08 numbers version 1.0.3

    I'm more able to export numbers in pdf or excel format.  I save the file/worksheet in numbers, then export to pdf or excel format.  When I do this I get the following message is displayed "the export failed.  The selected file or location (drive or directory) is read-only.

    I created new calculation sheets in case there is a bug in the original file.  Same message.

    I tried to create, and then record the Numbers worksheets in different folders and then export - same message.

    I can export Pages documents in the folders where it has failed with numbers - if this isn't a problem with the files.

    I have been exporting documents of numbers as pdf for centuries.  The last I did successfully was 6 weeks ago - I think not I changed my settings to cause this problem.

    I went to disk utilities - these are the results.  Made no difference.
