Generate PDFS without embedded ICC
Hello
I am trying to create a file for IngramSpark without any embedded ICC profile. Their PDF Analyzer keep telling me this:
PDF CONTAINS ICC COLOR PROFILES: LSI application files with no color profile assigned. Please convert all colors in shades of gray to black and white images or CMYK for color images and remove all color profiles to correct this problem.
The images are all shades of grey in the book. What are the parameters/procedure I need to generate the PDF from Indesign CS6 to avoid this problem? I'm generating the PDF in
PDF / X - 1a: 2001
as I've read elsewhere that it should work better, like PDF / X - 1a: 2001 is not 'supposed' to carry the ICC profiles. But so far, no luck... I did the file to PDF / X-3: 2002, but keep the files get rejected, too.
If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. I-> close <-to get my books out and it's a crushing stumbling.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, after reading IngramSpark File Authoring Guide and s PDF checklist (see file attachment), it would seem that IngramSpark uses a very obsolete DeviceCMJN single workflow. Modern best practices PDF edition today print stream to use PDF/X-4 with imagery left in its original color with ICC profiles and without any flattening of transparency (it is our recommendation to Adobe). To make things worse, IngramSpark is not even specify what CMYK print with (there are a number of different CMYK color spaces and if you convert or otherwise prepare for evil, your colors will be bad.
Which is contradictory in their specifications, it is that he supports the use of PDF / X - 1a: 2001 and PDF / X-3: 2002 although each of these files formats of contradict their rules otherwise. PDF / X - 1a: 2001 is totally DeviceCMJN, but it doesn't have a color ICC output intent profile. PDF / X-3: 2002 not only has an ICC output intent output profile color intent but it also allows (and encourages) use of imagery with imagery of tag-as well as CMYK ICC color profile.
If IngramSpark is rejecting a PDF/X-1 file because of color profiles, it's the color output intent profile, they could very easily ignore. And clearly PDF/X-3 will not reach their expectations.
To completely avoid all ICC profiles and get only CMYK, use the export profile of high quality printing and change the Policy of Inclusion of profile in the Panel out to not include profiles (from the default include profiles of sources containing the tag) and the Color Conversion to convert to Destination (preserve numbers) in this same panel. This is absolutely not recommended, but it's (most likely) going with them must.
You should consider a different printer given their fairly obsolete workflow, blame the customer and practices.

Why can I not print a PDF without saving it to my hard drive?
Since I loaded Acrobat Reader DC, I can't print a PDF without first recording on my hard drive. When I select the print option, it allows you only to save me.
Ah. I have it. You don't mention that you opened the file in Chrome. Keep in mind, Chrome does not yet use Adobe Reader. It has its own pdf viewer.

Create catalog PDF without Flash player (or similar solution)
Hello I am trying to create a solution for our office to create catalogues PDF without having to use flash player?
Not sure if this is possible, we are open to other solutions. EX Older versions of Adobe, another product, way to get around the flash player install, or makes it painless as possible for our customers to open our PDF catalogs. (Merging is not an option that we need to have separate PDF files into a single file).
Thank you!!
You can use a single PDF document with attachments.

Is it possible to remove one of several boxes of a pdf without the leftover boxes form automatically redial themselves?
I used LiveCycle Designer to make a form with several boxes. When I deleted a few of the boxes left him on the form becomes themselves. This makes my sync JavaScript since JavaScript box numbers does NOT automatically update. I hope that there is a preference option for not updating auto. I can not find
I think you use the same name for each box, right?
If so, each box has an index number that represents its position relative to other copies in the XML tree and when you add, remove, or rearrange the copies the index will be always recreated because it's how XML works.
There is no way to stop the Designer to do this, I'm afraid.
To meet individual objects through JavaScript, you must use unique names.

I have the pdf part of this work now. Make a jsx which generates the PDF file via the doc. Save(). And when the pdf file is generated the script then shut down of FrameMaker via the application. Close method.
I then just copy the script in FrameMaker autorun dir and start FrameMaker to get the pdf genenerated.
Now, I'm trying to do something with the chm filegeneration. But I can't find anything on how to get FrameMaker to make the extend script CHM files. Is there anyone who have some good places to look for that?

Rotation of text without embedding the fonts - how?
Probably the same or similar question has been asked and answered probably but I couldn't
all that would correspond to find...
I want to draw my ADG column headers vertically. So, I need rotate 90 degrees of column text
and adjust the position.
It is true that it is possible with only embedded font? If that's true how can it be done
Code Unicode, which includes plans for the Japanese, Chinese, etc. characters. The size of
SWF will be huge. Several sites like this
http://www.forestandthetrees.com/2009/06/29/rotating-text-without-embedding-fonts/
claims that they have a solution to the problem without embedding fonts.
Note: I always use the Flex 3.3 SDK with no TLF. Moreover, the TLF libraries operate with
3.3 SDK. ?
Thanks in advance
Draw your text on a bitmap image (or take an ImageSnapshot of a label), then rotate the image.

Anti-aliasing in HTML text without embedding the fonts - possible?
Hello
I use CSS to style a dynamic textFiled compatible HTML in Flash. To save on the size of the SWF, I do not ship fonts but use the following CSS:
var cssText:String = ' p {do-family: Verdana, Geneva, _without;} '. font size: 26px; color: #F5C080; make-Style: italic ;} « ;
That should ensure police Verdana size is used on Windows and Geneva fonts on Mac platform without embedding the fonts.
But is it possible to apply anti-aliasing?
For some reason any
antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
gridFitType = GridFitType.PIXEL;
Song.sharpness = - 400;doesn't seem to work at all, and large fonts looks irregular.
Should I really police ship to operate anti-aliasing? It would be no fun!
anti-aliasing has no effect unless you embed a font.
