Gray Ghost boxes when exporting to PDF in preview

I searched the forum for an answer to this, but have not found one.  I'm an amateur using InDesign to produce several bulletins of society.  These ballots are NOT printed; a link is sent to our employees and where they can consult the newsletter in preview, which is Apple PDF Viewer.  I like photos of vintage by squaring them look, apply a thick white line and a subtle shadow.  I usually rotate a little, too.  I just finished a bulletin and exported to PDF, as I usually do.  However, in the preview, you can see a gray ghost of the original frame of the photo box, unrotated.  I understand that sometimes happens with transparency effects, I guess that includes my shadow.  I am at a total loss.  I've found a workaround, but it is tedious and mess a bit with the image quality of the PDF file.


Do you know guys what I can do about it?  Unlike most of the issues I saw this mention of this, I am not that send to a printer, nor is the printed document.


I use InDesign CS 5.1 on a Mac in the Mavericks.  Thank you!

  • My shift text boxes when exporting to PDF

    I'm having a strange problem. I use a file that I created and whenever I export my INDD file in PDF format, some of my boxes of text move and do rotate.

    As you can see in the example below, my box of 'language' Gets rotated 90 ° and pushed a little left and off the page.

    I never had this problem before. Also, if I rearrange layers, other text boxes will eventually pass. I even tried to insert empty frames in the document without success.

    I don't get any errors the program either.

    Please advise!

    OK, first would have been the first suggestion, so we'll move. Are you patched to 7.0.4? Otherwise, try first and if there is still a problem, try to export to .idml. See remove minor corruption by exporting

  • Model of printers is not displayed in Preview Mode of overprinting or when exporting to PDF format.

    Hello-

    I have receid a model from a printer which I can see in my INDD file, but it does not appear in Preview Mode of overprinting or when exporting to PDF format.  I would like to be able to export works of art with the model visible to the customer for review and audit purposes.  What settings must change to CO-OPERATE if the model is visible when I export to PDF?

    Check if it is on a layer marked as non-printable, or if the non-printing attribute is checked in the control panel. You will need to change whrever find you.

  • Background settings lost come out wrong when exporting to PDF format

    I'm working on a door hanger 5 x 13 in InDesign with a. 125 "bleed on all sides. I did the front in Illustrator and brought in ID and I did the back completely to the identity card, since it is the heavy text.

    When I export it to PDF with purge and showing crop marks, crop marks see where color ends instead of. 125 "from the edge of the color.

    I keep double-checking ID documents and Illustrator, and I don't see anything wrong. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see what.

    Someone has to meet this problem before? Any thoughts on what I might be missing and how to fix it? Maybe ID handles differently than what I am used to bleed?

    When you export to PDF there is an option to set funds lost in the dialog box export or use document nosebleeds. Maybe you set them to 0 in the dialog box and have not checked the bleeding of document use?

  • Impossible to get to work when exporting to PDF page transitions

    Hi all

    I tried to apply page transitions to a document that I realized. I tried to apply the two side of the cover and push passes to each Board in the booklet but when I export to PDF does not work with either, I've seen full screen in Acrobat Reader DC, DC Acrobat and Foxit reader with no joy. With this in mind, I think it might be something to do with how I export as much research, that I've done was referenced InDesign CS6 was so different from what I look at in InDesign CC. Can anyone advise me as to what I can hurt?

    Thanks in advance

    You use file > export > Adobe PDF (Interactive) the Page Transitions defined from Document?

  • Colorful TIFF appears different color when exporting to PDF

    Hello world

    I'm having a problem with the Tiff feature in InDesign CC.

    I have a series of print drawings that use the same structure: a TIFF color in the background and a Duotone above this one PSD file.
    Most of these models work perfectly. However, for some reason any two of them show a radical change in the color of the background TIFF when I export them to PDF printing. Please note that this is not happening when you create a PDF "Interactive", or another type of file with "Print" PDF.

    Here is my file in InDesign:

    And here's what it becomes when you export to PDF:

    Screen Shot 2016-08-30 at 12.46.25 PM.png

    Any idea what the problem might be? I checked the source files in Photoshop and I see no difference between these and other pages that export without any problem. But I could be missing something.
    I tried to recreate the same design in a new file, but continues to be the same thing.

    Pointers welcome!

    Thank you very much!

  • Color lost when exporting to PDF

    When I export my (CC, version 20141) InDesign file to PDF (Acrobat Pro DC), text blocks lose their fill color. Another color in the text, tables, etc., is preserved. I tried to export a pdf and interactive pdf printing. The problem occurs regardless of the RGB or CMYK colors. Puzzled.

    My friend I tried ways of difference and I found something... It is not part of indesign, it is in the setting of PDF error that you applied. See the image (try to uncheck the option)

    Hope this helps you

  • Only black color on the linked indesign files conversion 4 black color process when exporting to PDF?

    I have a paged presentation that contains multiple indesign files linked. They have two colors: black to 100% and a spot color. If I export the files related, using the same PDF preset, the colors are kept, but when exporting from layout with them tied it converts black in 4 colors. I checked the separations on the layout file but they are all very good. It's just a bug or am I doing something stupid?

    What happens when you color manage CMYK to another space CMYK, try using PDF X / 1 setting first and make sure that preserve numbers is set for the release, let us know how it goes.

  • 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.

  • When exporting to pdf format how can I stop the character and dialogue being separated by a break of page pls?

    As part of my course of MY I submitted a script exported to .pdf, and when I arrived at the bottom of the page the name of the character is sometimes separated from the Dialogue.

    I received a note from my tutor about it is formatted, but I doubt that the answer is to take in unwanted blank line that he would so ruin anything earlier moves downwards.

    Is there a way to get around this please?

    Character

    -(page break)-

    Dialogue

    Thank you

    Jamie

    I guess you can try two things

    -You can insert a page break before this character. i.e.

    -(page break)-

    Character

    Dialogue

    - or you can try to disable "more & more" in the view menu. He must move such sequences of characters-dialogue on the next page.

  • Web images are blurred when exporting to PDF

    We constantly place web (72 dpi) images in InDesign presentation documents, then export the PDF file for our customers. However when the PDF file is exported it makes images to 72 dpi blurred. I tried all combinations to export the PDF file I can think is to say high quality printing, change of compression to zero, change of color of the images "Do not downsample", export to interactive PDF and change the resolution etc and it always seems to compress my images every time.

    Any ideas?

    Note: The only way I found it is to recreate the images in the form of 150ppi however need an another solution because they must be 72 dpi.

    Thank you

    Acrobat displays the default images to 96 DPI system.

    In Acrobat, go into preferences and under the Page display, you can insert a custom resolution that will probably solve your problem.

    Note that this is an individual setting, other computers may not have this together.

  • Color chart of model move when exported to PDF and read in Preview/GoodReader

    I tried for days find an answer to this issue, but have failed. You should also know that I am a self-taught user Adobe Creative Suite. I'm working on a Mac with CS6.

    I work for a small publisher that produces knitting books. The problem is this: our tech editor has created graphics in Illustrator using the color chart of model function. (These are graphic knit. Each square contains a shade of motif representing the knit stitch).

    I then place these cards in their format native .ai in an Indesign file and exporting to PDF. In Acrobat, the charts look fabulous. In the drive of the preview Mac and GoodReader, tables do this...

    Screen Shot 2013-12-10 at 11.40.59 AM.png

    ... the model color chart move around inside their places. Each of these points must be placed inside their places. First, when I resize the application framework, the nuances of the model move I have re-size of the frame. Any ideas on what could happen here?

    I tried to save the graphics as PDF files and putting those in the InDesign file. Does not help. Export diagrams as images (jpg or tif) works, but I need to make ridiculously high resolution/size for the quality of the vector image. I would rather put .ai files in the .indd file if possible.

    Try to use the file > object > expand on a copy of the original before making the PDF for placement.

  • Dissappearing page number when exporting to PDF

    Hello!

    I encountered a problem exporting an Indesign booklet in PDF format.

    I created a basic layout, with 2 masters.

    I've included page numbers (master) and this is where the problem begins.

    Page numbers are visible on each page in indesign.

    But when I export to PDF, the page numbers on the left of the booklet pages disappear.

    The numbers on the right pages are exactly where they are supposed to be.

    I don't know where to begin the search since I was rather inexperienced in Indesign.

    Anyone? Thank you!

    Version? OPERATING SYSTEM?

    There are a few known issues with master endangered items in early versions of CS4. They must be fixed in the 6.0.4 update.

    If this isn't your problem, please post back with more details. A screenshot of the East where the number would help, too.

  • 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
