Please help - SHADOWS APPEAR as OUTLINES BLACKS when I EXPORT to PDF

Hi all

I designed a catalogue produced in InDesign. I've airbrushed in PS and dropped an "outer glow" and "shadow" Style layer on products and saved with a transparent background in one. PSD format. The files are then placed in the InDesign document.

The pages are printed as they appear when I print from InDesign, however, I wish I could send this document to retailers, but when I export as a PDF, images with shadows appear as if they are drawn with a sloppy/irregular black line instead of the shadow...

Please help me solve.

Would it be due to compression?

Thoughts? Alternatives?

Thank you very much

  • The size of my document in In Design print in a different size when I export to PDF

    I made a document in In Design, which is 7x9.25' and it prints in the correct size when I print from In Design.  But when I export to PDF in Acrobat DC it prints more.  It prints to 8.5 x 11.  When I cut along the outline of the document, printing In Design is the exact size I want, but leave the PDF file, even after I cut along the outline, it is too much.  Is there a setting that I need to use in In Design before exporting to PDF print to the exact size that I created it in In Design?

    Thanks for your help!

    In Acrobat, place your cursor in the lower left corner of the screen and it will show you what your document is about the size. If the size of the document is correct, then I guess that when you print from Acrobat, which you 'Fit' selected under Page size and handling in the print dialog box. Make sure that 'real size' is chosen, and which should print in the right size.

  • Hyperlink problem when you export to PDF using Javascript

    From an INDD file, my script changes the texts of the product to the hyperlinks number.  I find them using findTextPreferences, then I add this url before the product numbers:

    ".. /Products.jsp/prodnum="+ ProductNumber;

    Then I export it in PDF format.  When a mouse user on several products, they can click on it and go to the above page.

    The problem is when I export to PDF, there are spaces before and after the number of the product.  example:

    ".. /Products.jsp/prodnum=%205674-897%20 ".

    To check where the spaces are coming from, I've added alerts on my script, but there is no space on my alerts, only when it is exported spaces will appear on the product numbers.

    You will need to find a way to remove the spaces from the product numbers.  I tried many things such as replace, I created a trim function, paintings, all concatenated product to 1 variable numbers then used substring.  The expected result is:

    ".. /Products.jsp/prodnum=5674-897 ".

    Thanks in advance guys, I hope you can help.

    Hi, I use Apple Photos to create a photo book.  When I export to PDF, photos that are over 2 pages are exported as a single PDF page.  For printing purposes, I want this to export in the form of 2 separate pages.  I did this with iPhoto in the past and this could be something to do with the preferences of Adobe.  I contracted Apple and their export seems thin e (or 2 separate pages). Any ideas?

    If you have not Acrobat is installed, then clearly, it's a matter of Apple having nothing to do with any "setting Adobe." There is nothing we can do at Adobe to help you. Sorry!

    Adobe strongly recommends use of PDF/X-4, which retains direct management transparency and color all the way to the INVESTIGATION period.

    PDF/X-1a is indeed antiquated for any content that uses anything other than CMYK + spot color or transparency.

    All modern PDF workflow software supports PDF/X-4. If you are printing to a PostScript RIP, Acrobat Pro (version X and XI) can print PDF/X-4 of tears (or printers) pretty well.

  • When I export my PDF file to Word, I lose the formatting?

    Why am I losing my page/font formats and spacing when I export my PDF file to Word?

    It would be useful to know the operating system and the version of Acrobat. When you export, the registration screen has a settings option that includes retain format (creates a lot of text boxes) or flow. There are also options for OCR and graphics in the settings. If the PDF has strange fonts (or non-system), they will be not recorded and Acrobat will try a better idea on an appropriate policy.

  • When I export to PDF from InDesign, my page size is higher than expected.

    I have an InDesign document with a page size of 8.5 "x 11".  There bleeding from. 125 "on each side.  When I export to PDF and look at the properties of the document, the page size is 9.33 "x 11.83".  I thought it would be 8.75 "x 11.25".  Why the page size par.83 instead de.25?

    Hmmm... can't reproduce here. Of course, including any kind of landmarks of the printer in the output increases the size of larger than the pad page + bleed, but as long as I have let everything under "Brand" unchecked by default and tick the check box use Document bleed settings under bleed and Slug, I get the 8.75 x 11.25 expected.

  • Color separation when you export a PDF file

    She was driving me crazy, ADOBE seems to have forgotten to separate colors when using export to PDF method.  Even quark has this option.

    On behalf of Adobe...

    Adobe applications, including InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop intentionally omitted the ability to initiate a previously separated PDF workflow. Even if we could hack together previously separated PDF format by producing PDF via PostScript distillation (another stream of work that strongly discourage us at Adobe), the concept behind modern PDF of publication workflows must leave content in its final form at the highest level of abstraction until it must be made, if this rendering is on the screen (a device intrinsically RGB) 4 dye Printing CMYK, or high-fidelity print using traditional CMYK dyes and other coloring such as bright green and orange or light cyan and light magenta as well.

    Once you separate the PDF, you can't really see the PDF for normal playback, you can not easily search or edit, and you cannot change the target printing condition. You can also not dynamic transparency in a previously separate PDF file! And modern native PDF RIPs do not work with these workflow! No ISO PDF / X standard supports these workflows either!

    You want or need to preview separations? Use the preview feature separation of Acrobat (or even the creation of applications).

    If you work with a Luddite printing service provider that requires this PDF files or creates internally, you really need to consider very seriously the other print service providers.

    If you select the Adobe PDF printer in the print WORD menu and then review the DOC file, how is it? It also seems that you not embed fonts (check the font embedding to ctrl-D).

  • EncodeForHTML & HTMLEditFormat: formatting is different when you export to PDF

    I use ColdFusion 11 and have just started using the EncodeForHTML instead of HTMLEditFormat function whenever I need to display text that the user entered, usually via a textarea component.  We need to save formatting so that the information the user entered remains comprehensible.  Users have the choice between display information on the screen or export to PDF.  We use EncodeForHTML to secure information and we use < pre > to maintain the required formatting.

    My problem is that when I need to export data to a pdf file, then EncodeForHTML acts differently than does HTMLEditFormat.  For some reason, I get extra lines inserted.

    Here is a code example.  Simply save to a cfm and launch:

    -------------------------------------------------------

    < cfsavecontent variable = "f" > my sample data.
    1 20% of the value
    2 30% of the value
    3 50% of the value

    Here is my summary of this data.
    < / cfsavecontent >

    < cfhtmltopdf saveasname = "MyTest.pdf" >
    < cfoutput > with EncodeForHTML: < pre > #encodeForHTML (f) # < / pre > < / cfoutput >
    < cfoutput > with HTMLEditFormat: < pre > #HTMLEditFormat (f) # < / pre > < / cfoutput >
    < / cfhtmltopdf >

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    The version of HTMLEditFormat appears correctly.  No idea how to get around this problem?

    If you comment out the tag cfhtmltopdf temporarily and you run the page, you will see the reason for the difference. The encodeForHTML function returns additional encodings, as
    ,
    and so on.

    One way to solve the problem is to use the canonicalize function, for example,

    With EncodeForHTML:

    #canonicalize(encodeForHTML(f),false,false)#

    With HTMLEditFormat:

    #HTMLEditFormat(f)#

  • Image layout incorrect when you export to PDF

    I export my portfolio for print and for the web, and when I export everything, images (like the one pictured below) have parts cut out and pasted on the other page. It was not my intention, the image goes to the edge of the page, but should not go on the other side. Is there an export problem I do? Any help would be appreciated.

    Together the inside bleed to 0.

    BUT export the pages correctly. To purge inside is at the edge of the opposite page, and most tax software can ignore if not necessary.
