Issue PDF export with transparency in RGB

Hello

I was not able to find a similar problem already on the forum/Google. I create an indesign document using the RGB colors I want to export for use on the screen. On some pages, there are shapes with shadows on other pages, there is no shadow.

When initially, I tried to export to PDF, I noticed by looking at the PDF the same gray color text would be different on the pages of these pages without shadows shadows.

I read on the 'transparency cutting space' to change from CMYK to RGB so I tried this. I put the documents 'transparency cutting space' at the ROYAL Botanic Gardens and tried to export again. This time, gray seems to be consistent on all pages, but the text on pages with shadows seems to be looking more pale or thinner than the text on the pages without shadows (shadows are applied to the shapes on the page, not to the text itself).

When you export to PDF, I use the following...

Adobe PDF preset: high quality printing

Output: Conversion of color: no color Conversion

Please could someone suggest what I do wrong?

Best regards

Ian

Software version: Indesign CS3 - Mac

Ive cracked Ian,

what you need to do Ian is

1. put your pictures on a layer and the text on another.

2. then order your layers so that the text is on the top.

3. create a new layer of a large white box covering everything and put that on the bottom of the order layers

4 export on providing smaller pdf file

To do this, and let me know how you go

  • Color variation when you import a PDF file with transparency masks

    Hi, I have a CC PDF Illustrator with multiple pages and multiple spot colors defined by the user and on some pages of an element containing the mask transparency.

    The problem with color deviation between the pages with and without the object that contains the tx masks as they are imported into InDesign.

    Looking at the page in InDesign with the described object, color chart, imported from Illustrator no longer correspond to any PDF file.

    Without the mask tx, correspond to the Illustrator PDF color chart color placed in the shade in InDesign.

    What is going on?

    Unlike Illustrator, InDesign can support RGB and CMYK colors in the same document. If InDesign won't change the colors of your Illustrator object placed as long as there is no transparency on the spread.

    When transparency is applied to the spread, all objects have to 'mix' by using the same color space. I think that this is necessary if the transparency must be flattened as it should be for many printers. InDesign uses the color set under Edition space > space of merger of transparency to determine the color space. By default, it is a print CMYK document.

  • PSD files in CS5 ID printing from a PDF exported with visible edges

    Hi all

    Sorry if this has been posted before, but I did a search and came up with nothing.

    I have an IDCS5 file that has a picture of PS CS5 placed in it.

    The image of PS CS5 is a circle which is paritally coming to overlap a gray background and a white background. The circular image does not have a clipping path or an alpha channel saved - it's a circular image on a transparent background.

    When I export to a PDF file using the setting of "High quality print" and then print it, printing out resulting has a vaguely color ranging in the circular PSD file where it overlaps the gray background of square shape.

    Any ideas? Please let me know if you need any additional info from me.

    Thank you!

    The problem discussed in the link matches the how the printer or RIP processes the file, rather than the way the file itself is built. Is this index on pressure plates? Using the same printer that you have always used? Don't have they improved their equipment?

  • How to export with Transparent background

    I've created a logo in Freehand 10, and I need to export to EPS with a background transparent to be placed in an InDesign document. How to export the file with a transparent background?

    Thank you!
    -Elisha

    > Please excuse my lack of experience, but can you please explain what you mean
    > by "no image on the screen?

    In general the content of eps (encapsulated postscript) files cannot be considered with page layout programs and even. So a picture of the screen must be included for the investment. When the document is printed on a postscript printer or exported to pdf that the screen image is omitted and the postscript code is used. In this case it is not ' What you see is what you get ", but" what you get is what you see not ".". "

    In Windows, the screen image has always been an opaque bitmap image but in mac screen image can be "cut". In both platforms, however, the postscript output is the same, i.e. without background.

    > I tried export as Illustrator 7, but it was only a gray in box
    > InDesign. I'm waiting on approval to buy the upgrade to Illustrator CS3.

    I don't know if InDesign CS2 can display the contents of the eps, Mac and Windows files. I just tried export eps and Freehand and they have worked well in InDesign CS3 Windows.

    File eps without the screen image generally appear as white box and all images in grey if Disply Performance form quickly Disply in InDesign. In order to check the display settings InDesign.

    Also try to export eps with an image on the screen.

    If the logo is simple with just of contour objects, it can be copypasted in InDesign as well. In FreeHand "copy special" and select the Clipboard format.

  • PDF export with cropmarks

    I have a work of art and it takes to make a PDF with Illustrator 10 cropmarks.

    I add cropmarks using the Cropmarks/object/Make and that seems fine.

    But I can't make it into a PDF file.

    If I 'Save as PDF' or 'Save a copy', the result contains everything EXCEPT the cropmarks.

    (Curiously enough PDF is not available in an 'Export' format.)

    I can create a PS file with the Print command and distill it, but it's rather tedious.

    For lack of a way to export cropmarks, y at - it a simple way to convert them into normal lines, or what I have to redo them by hand?

    Alan,

    As Shunith says.

    10 you have to file > Print > Acrobat Distiller, or use the filter > Create > Trim Marks before file > Save As > Adobe PDF to do things with PDF. You can print the landmarks of crop directly from a document of Illy if you have a printer PS (pilot).

    Note that the crop marks are closer than Trim Marks and therefore more likely to be included in the final print.

    To bring them more closely together, you can create brands as paths.

    This was part of a transitional period of Trim/crop of brands/culture area.

  • Issues generated by InDesign CS2 PDF-feather effect/transparency

    I'm at my wit's end. I received a file of the customer PDF created to my features (even those we have used for 5 years). I'm having massive flattened transparency issues. I am currently using Trueflow version 3, a tear that does not support dynamic transparency; Therefore, distill my settings require that transparency will be flattened. There are some horrible results I can't fix on my end. He's prickly showing (and exit from the plate!) where she placed on certain pages .psd files. There is also a problem with feathered objects (associated pictures) - they look great in the document but then exported and flattened, there is a white box behind the photos rather than the soft look of feathers.

    When I exported its CS2 using Acrobat 5 file instead of 4, the effect is very good, but - my rip shot of it. When I export to my specs, the PDF's print these questions.

    I want to clarify that I always show print PDF files ready to help out and preview overprinting - this isn't a problem with preview - is a specific file & export & resulting print number.

    I would be nice to be able to help my client - this is a rush job. If someone has encountered this and has what may be the origin of this feeling, please let me know-

    Also - I do have a program to fix this problem-

    Thanks in advance-

    Part of the problem may have to do with the flattening settings used by your customer of PDF creation, not the joboptions themselves. As a general rule, you should have parameters of vector flattening which are set to 100% and the resolution of your device. In addition, you should have your PDF export customers rather than go through the road of distillation of PostScript.

    In addition, even flattening of transparency has seen some significant improvements in the last few editions of InDesign and Acrobat. Remember that CS is InDesign 4. The current version is 6 InDesign (CS4).

    What I would recommend is that you have your client PDF export with transparency dynamic (i.e., PDF 1.5 or higher). You should then flatten the PDF yourself in Acrobat 9 Pro (not previous versions) with the appropriate parameters for your RIP since you know the resolution you are RIP. RIP the resulting PDF file.

    Good luck. And you should really start saving for a RIP update.

  • Why PDF with transparency displayed incorrectly?

    Hello world

    I used this script ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/dps-pdf-to-indesign.html ) to create a magazine based on a PDF file, but I have a big problem.

    I don't have control of PDF files because the Publisher send it already ready.

    I am creating assets for the purposes of book for children and drew their in http://bit.ly/joc0zm on an iPad pro.

  • Issue of MAJOR brush Image in RGB mode with AI Update (with video)

    bug.jpg

    Illustrator PRODUCT BUG / PROBLEM: Image in the new version of illustrator brushes show a strange discoloration and pixelation unsightly around the edges that have any transparency, but ONLY in the space of RGB, CMYK color space color has not this problem. This moved NOT in 2015 from CC. I could create a brush image with transparency on the edges, and it would be PERFECT if I was using a color space RGB or CMYK.

    Below I'll detail the major problem that I discovered with brushes of image in RGB color mode in the most recent update of Adobe Illustrator. After having tested methodical, I created a video with my findings. I also wrote it below the video more in depth as well.

    PRODUCT BUG / PROBLEM: Image in the new version of illustrator brushes show a strange discoloration and pixelation unsightly around the edges that have any transparency, but ONLY in the space of RGB, CMYK color space color has not this problem. This moved NOT in 2015 from CC. I could create a brush image with transparency on the edges, and it would be PERFECT if I was using a color space RGB or CMYK.

    I create digital assets for a living and am a bestseller on creative market (https://creativemarket.com/dailydesignables ) and am VERY methodical about products, I create, so I did thorough testing to ensure that it is not a question that I have just. It's a universal issue with illustrator CC 2015 update. A few months ago I published a set of brushes for IA CC image and sold many of them, and I've tested for months before release. I discovered this problem when I was going to use in the new version of illustrator and to my surprise, the edges of the brushes where there was some transparency had terrible distortion of colors and pixelation.

    It wasn't a problem on the previous version of illustrator and I tested it on my two machines, I have a customer who bought my image brushes email me with the same problem. I created NEW brushes in my video demo above to show it is also not a problem with the implementation brushes from a previous version. I created brushes sweet image in CC2015 and CC2015.3 to show the problem is with the new update, and ONLY in the RGB color space. Because the image brushes worked perfectly in the latest version, I know it's possible. There is a problem with the RGB color space in the new version's efforts useless brushes image with transparency on the edges. I work in RGB, so it's a big deal.

    In addition, there is nothing to do with the performance of the GPU, I tried that already, turn it off, restart illustrator. Same results. At first I thought it was a rendering / perhaps CPU / memory problem which will make arrangements with a reboot, but it isn't. It is constant in my machines and my clients. In addition, if you paste the image (with transparency issues) brush in a photoshop doc, be it as a smart object or a raster object, discoloration and the pixelation also comes, is not only a problem of rendering of AI.

    I was supposed to get a call from Anu on case #0187946265 last week and never did. I got an email to say Adobe, they closed the case because they have marked as "resolved". I tweeted Adobe Illustrator and Adobe supported the problem, so I hope that someone in the bugs team will see this STAT! Thank you very much in advance!

    Hello world!

    Just an update that Engineering was able to reproduce the problem and are working on a fix. Although there is a workaround solution, working in CMYK mode (and then switching to RGB later) should work until the fix is released.

    Thank you all for your patience and hard work.

  • Help! Print to PDF with transparency?

    I have a (8 x 16 spreads) document related to PDF files, updated frequently via Photoshop.

    Make sure that the image mode is 8 channels, PDF files import into Design with transparency on the workspace.

    However, when you try to print to a PDF file, transparency is flattened and replaced with a white background > :(

    The idea is to use the paper color as the background instead of printing a block of white ink.

    Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious - I tried different formats (png, tiff), flattering transparency 'preset' setting to 'high quality' and juggle with PDF printer driver settings.  Displaying print PDF in Acrobat displays a white background on a transparent paper.

    Its interesting to note the In-design background prints transparent (between related images), but not the transparent parts of the image/PDF files themselves.

    Help, please!

    Thanks for any help or ideas that you can give!

    When you create a PDF file you must never use the print to PDF or use any kind of Postscript.

    Any PDF from InDesign file is to be exported, a PDF from Photoshop or Illustrator must be saved in PDF format. If you exchange PDF files between these applications to export or save as PDF/X-4.

    Print or postscript will never support transparency, so do not use distilled, print to PDF, PDF1.3, EPS.

    Do not PNG or TIFF with vectors.

    BUT change the color of the paper will have no effect. If you need to print a background color different other than white, you should add a layer below all layers, name it background and draw a rectangle of guide line for the purge frame bleeding frame guide line in the desired color.

  • Old images to export transparent BGs, now they export with white BGs, why?

    So I have a PDF export previous to a particular Indesign CS5.5 document with images showing the transparent backgrounds (ie: the page background colors show through where transparency should appear).
