Any ideas on keeping images on master pages consistently high quality display when exporting to pdf?

Set up the Preflight panel so it checks image resolution. Ask your printer what the appropriate resolution is for your printing process, and set that in Preflight.

How to convert a image layer to a text layer any idea? a image looks like a text in layers box

How to convert a image layer to a text layer any idea? a image looks like a text in layers box

You can't convert an image into a text layer. What you can do is clip an image to a text layer so that just the image layer shows up where there is text. Create a text layer, then above it put your image layer. Hold down the alt/opt key and click between the two layers to clip them.

I created mega menu in adobe muse ( master page ) but the thing is when I preview that menu in other pages contents I already had created will overlap the menu. Is there any options that would fix that problem up. I'd like to have the menu overlap the contents. That does not happen on master page ( master page looks good ) Thank you very much.

Place the menu on its own layer above the rest of the page content.

Indesign CS4 adds square boxes around images when exporting to PDF

When I export a brochure created in InDesign to PDF, for some reason the .pdf file (only the PDF - the InDesign version doesn't show these) shows faint squares around images/graphics that have shadow effects applied. These appear around photos, as well as graphic objects that have a solid colour background, for example an orange circle. Some suggested rasterizing images in Illustrator and that didn't help. Transparency doesn't seem to be at fault either. Would anyone have any idea what may be causing this and how to remedy the problem?
FYI, the PDF export pre-sets in InDesign are as follows (I only mention options that are checked, the rest are turned off):
COMPATIBILITY: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)
GENERAL:
     HIGH QUALITY PRINT (modified)
     Export Layers:Visible & Printable Layers
COMPRESSION:
     COLOR IMAGES:
     Bicubis Downsampling to 300 pixels per inch for images above 450 pixels per inch
     Compression: Automatic JPEG
     Image Quality: Maximum
GRAYSCALE IMAGES:
     Bicubis Downsampling to 300 pixels per inch for images above 450 pixels per inch
     Compression: Automatic JPEG
     Image Quality: Maximum
MONOCHROME IMAGES:
     Bicubis Downsampling to 1200 pixels per inch for images above 1800 pixels per inch
     Compression: Automatic JPEG
     Compression: CCITT Group 4
FYI - I use Mac OSX 10.5.8 and InDesign 6.0.3.
I have attached the PDF for your review.
With many thanks,
Alex

BTW, don't use OSX's preview to look at PDFs created by InDesign if they take advantage of high end features such as live transparency.
Preview simply isn't up to the task and you should be using Acrobat or Reader.

Images downsized and converted when exporting to PDF

I have Pagemaker 7.0.1 installed on Virtual XP so that I can help out a family member.
Pagemaker's embedded Acrobat 4 was not working properly so I installed my Acrobat 9.0 on Virtual XP. This unfortunately has not solved the problem, which is:
My images are greyscale and 300 ppi when imported into Pagemaker. When exported to PDF using Acrobat 9.0, the images are being converted to CMYK and exported at about 50% of the actual size. Interestingly, those images that are only at 200 ppi are converted but not downsampled.
This is happening no matter how I fiddle with the settings. Happens to both jpegs and tiffs.
I found an old thread on another forum where this problem occurred but a solution was not found or posted.
Any ideas?
Michelle

This reply is a series of comments and suggestions rather than a definitive answer.
1. Your set up is less than perfect, if not unstable, and will be prone to all sorts of bizarre behaviours.
2. Never copy/paste a graphic or table into PageMaker. Always use the Place command. The only "exception" would be that you can copy and paste a properly Placed graphic from within your PageMaker document.
When placing images in a PageMaker file, the following message appears: “The graphic in the linked file would occupy xxxxxxx bytes in the publication. Include the complete copy in the publication anyway?” The correct answer to this question is always "NO".
(You can permanently avoid this popup in future docs by unchecking "store copy in publication" under Element -> Link Options with no publication open. You can do the same to avoid further prompts in pre-existing documents.)
3. Try updating PM to Ver 7.0.1a which had a better Export… AdobePDF…macro. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=34&platform=Windows
4. In PageMaker’s Print dialogue, click on the Options button, and check "Write PostScript to File." Select the "Normal" radio button. Set both Type 1 and TrueType fonts to download. As always, set the Send TIF/Images option to Normal and NOT Optimized. Make other settings elsewhere in the print dialog as desired, such as "paper" size, crop marks, separations, etc.
5. With your non-standard setup, try the two stage print then distill process. Create a PS file using a postscript printer file, then load Distiller and convert the PS file to PDF. Note: if you have hyperlinks in your PMD file, they will not appear in your PDF and need to be re-created using Acrobat.
6. It's time to leave PM and move on to InDesign - see it as PM Ver 13.
7. Aternatively, use PM7 on a contemporary Win2K PC. http://bigjohnd.org.uk/PageMakerExportPDF/index.htm

Image aliasing when exporting print PDF at 300 ppi (bicubic downsampling)

Hello,
i am trying to describe a problem which persists since version CS3 of InDesign. It's about aliased edges in images in a certain angle; occuring when exporting the brochure as PDF file (at 300 ppi). The placed images are always at a higher quality than needed (for example 780 ppi effective). The aliasing is not there when opening the original image files in photoshop (viewing at 100%).
The PDF export settings are:
- Compression: Bicubic downsampling to300 ppi for images above 350 ppi (for color images, grayscale images and monochrome images)
- Crop Image data to frames
- Marks: Crop Marks and Page Information
- Output: No Color Conversion
- Advanced: Transparency Flattener: High Resolution
- Compatibility: Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)
- PDF /X-3:2002
Below are two screenshots
- The left one was the original image, downsampled to 216 mm in width using automatic bicubic downsampling
- The right one is the result when exporting a InDesign Document with the same width to a PDF with the mentioned settings
Downsampled in Photoshop CS6 to 216 mm width
Exported from InDesign CS6 with mentioned settings
I have no clue what happens here, but it looks like the internal downsampling of InDesign CS6 is not very good.
When i write a PostScript file of the brochure and put it in Distiller (with the same PDF Preset as above), the image looks like the one made with Photoshop. So this problem has to lie somwhere deep in InDesign or it's settings.
Anybody with similar experiences?

Something about your test looks off. The export from ID and export from PS PDFs are both zoomed at 1200%, but the export from ID vrsion is 90% smaller.
Yeah I noticed that I actually had the image in InDesign scaled @ 90%, so the effective ppi was around 650. I get the same jagged results when I use anything other than a 300 or 600 effective ppi. Whereas if I use a 650ppi image in Photoshop and export to PDF, it downsamples smoothly.
Rob Day wrote:
The diagonal lines in your test are 1 pixel so at 300ppi to an offset press at 150lpi, the lines would be less than a halftone dot so I'm pretty sure you would need a loupe to see any difference. Maybe with a stochastic screen there would be better resolution but still difficult to see. So if the printing is that good I would just export without down sampling. With disk space running at 15 cents a gigabyte there's not much to gain with a downsample.
It becomes noticeable with some images more than others, but I'm printing a lot of images of buildings and drawings with sharp lines that converge to a point, or are distinguishable in the full size image but indistinguishable when downsampled. This can introduce distracting patterns when they aren't downsampled smoothly, something like this:
Unfortunately the printers near me aren't very good, so I'm having things printed online, and this particular printer (blurb.com - for a small job) won't accept large PDFs without compressed/downsampled images :/ I'm making 300dpi versions of the really crucial images for the time being, but I'm hoping there is a better solution!
The other issue is exporting the PDF for use on the web, either as a download or on an online PDF viewer like issuu.com. The two PDFs on the right side of my test look much better in these situations. Is there any disadvantage to using Distiller to make my PDFs for this purpose using the Device Independent setting? I don't have any special interactive elements.

Any way to reduce the resolution when exporting to .pdf

We are emailing reports. On some reports with a large number of jpegs we are hitting a size limitation. It would be helpful to reduce the resolution on the jpegs when exporting to .pdf. Any way that would be possible?

Hi,
Need more info-
VS version? or the developing application?
CR Version? Are you directly emailing your reports from CR designer?
Also once the image is fetched by the report, we can not make any changes in the image, as a work around you need to do required changes in the image before adding it to the reports, and as far as I know it is not possible through code, but we can wait for other responses though.
Sincerely,
Amit

Missing image when export to pdf & in High Quality Display

Customer sent me this file so I have no history. Latest version of InDesign. There are a few images that when I select the box it does not show it as linked, but there is an image there. These same images/boxes disappear when I select View>High Quality Display & they are also missing when I make a pdf. Many other images are linked and work fine. What's going on with these other images/boxes? Embedded maybe? I don't have experience with embedded images, how do I get them to show when making a pdf?

Is this what your looking for Peter?

How do I keep border on Master Page on top?

I have a page border and page numbers on my master page that I need to stay on top of all overlapping items. However, I have several rotated images where the corner overlaps the border. I've tried to send them to the back and bringing the border to front but nothing is working. Any advice?

In InDesign master objects are always behind live page objects on the same layer, so you essentially have two stacking hierarchies to deal with -- multiple layers and the order on the individual layers.

Font jaggies when exporting to pdf influenced by images on page

Typeface Century ATF BQ (Postscript Type 1 font) renders jagged on screen on some Keynote 3 exported .pdf pages and sharp and clean on others when viewed by Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 and to greater and lesser degrees on other Macs and PCs. When viewed on screen in Preview it looks sharp but fat everywhere. When printed from Acrobat Reader everything is sharp.
We did tests to figure out what was going on and found that if we removed a .gif image from the page the type rendered fine. We converted the .gif file to a .png file (we needed transparent background) and found the type jaggies returned. Tried to use .pdf format to achieve transparent background. The type looked sharp, but the image imported with a white background even though it showed up as transparent in Photoshop.
Anybody have workaround suggestions to get a silhouetted image to be placed on a Keynote page without jagging the type?
Anybody have any sense of what is going on?

The image is not overlapping the text.
It was orginally overlapping a jpg but I moved it and the problem persisted.
(Apple support system made me resubscribe to respond, hence the slightly different name)

Why is the tab being edited at the "master" page always in active state when i am selecting other tabs?

i am trying to create a basic mobile site with adobe muse. i have created a page with tabbed panels using the the tabbed panel widget and link each tab to its respective pages. let's call my tabs 1, 2 and 3. the linking are fine, but everytime i selected 2 or 3, tab 1 will also be in active state. the selected tab is with reference to the tab that is being edited at the "master" page, i.e, if i am editing tab 2 at the "master" page, tab 2 will always be active when i select tab 1 or 3.
i do not need this kind of confusion. can anyone help?
i am using adobe cc. thanks!

Hi,
This is an expected behavior of tabbed panel . When you add a tabbed panel in the master page by default one of the tabs is Active. So whenever you load the page, whichever tab you had selected in the Master page will always be active along with the other tab which you used as a link.
I would suggest you to use a Menu widget or a composition widget in order to avoid this.

Rohit Nair

Illustator Image placed in InDesign CS5 moving position when Exporting to PDF

I have a Illustrator image placed on a master page and when I go to export to a PDF the image moves to the left about 2 inches.
The same image on another master page outputs correctly.
I copied and pasted it from the page that is working correctly to this master page, but it still moves.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Are you fully patched?
Can you make this happen with a fresh file and different graphic?
Tried the fix corrupt files by expoting to inx or idml?

Help keeping hyperlinks active when exporting as PDF!

Any ideas on how to maintain the bookmark and figure hyperlinks when viewed as a PDF?.. The links work fine on the iPad and within iBA but once exported as a PDF links will not work on my Mac or other computers the PDF is sent to. Apple's support page says hyperlinks should work, however I have not had any success with them. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get them to work?
Thank you.

None work for me.
If that's critical for an ebook, use another tool such as Pages, InDesign, calibre, etc.
