BRIDGE Color management when creating PDF

Hello!
I have the following problem.
If I select  photos in the BRIDGE (Creative Suite 6) and then go to OUTPUT, I can create a PDF.
in my case the PDF is created correctly. But when printing on my Epson 7900 I get the error message file (PDF) not colormanagt
I have synced my color settings on the Creative Suite, and is set to Keep the tick in beteen color profile.
HOW and WHERE can I set the color profile for the BRIDGE PDF. I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
Maybe someone knows the solution.
Sinceerely Emal

thanks for your answer!
I have made your settings but I still get the error message.
Do you have to make the settings for the color management in acrobat or bridge?

  • [AS][INDCC] How to set Color Conversion field to No Color Conversion when creating PDF Export preset

    How can i set Color Conversion field in Export to PDF dialog to No Color Conversion when creating PDF Export preset? i have done a bit of searching and have found where it has been recommended to set effective pdf destination profile to use no profile but it doesn't seem to be producting the expected results.

    Yes, it seems that i had to make the change after creation, not while creating the preset. thank you.

  • Color changes when creating PDF in Acrobat X Standard

    I'm printing to PDF from Word 2010 by using Acrobat X Standard.  Here are the two issues:
    I have overlaid two text boxes (different colors) on top of each other.  The overall image should be blue on top and bottom with tan in the middle.  When I print to PDF in Word, the PDF is perfect; however, when I print to the printer, the blue on the bottom changes to purple, while the blue on top is correct.  Again, this is the same blue text box, so I don't know why the color changes.
    Also, the tan is a darker shade than what the PDF shows.
    Is this a printer issue or PDF settings issue?
    I'm new to using Acrobat, so any step-by-step help is very much appreciated!
    Thank you.

    Create Adobe PDF is a (by default) a LOSSLESS operation where Acrobat processes the Word graphics data directly into PDF.   Printing is a LOSSY operation that first has Word convert Word->”printer spool”, then the printer driver (Adobe PDF) converts that “printer spool” into Postscript, and then Distiller converts the Postscript into PDF.   As you might imagine, you get MUCH higher quality and fidelity results from the former.
    Have you verified that you are using the same color management settings in the printer from both Word and Acrobat?  Is the Konica configured for Postscript, PCL, other?  There are SO MANY possible options that could be impacting your configuration…

  • Is Bridge color managed?

    My monitor is correctly profiled and the colors in Photoshop CS5 are correct and they print correctly. When I view the same image in Bridge, however, the colors are slightly more saturated and seem incorrect. They appear as they do when I view them in non color managed applications. Is Bridge color managed as is CS5?

    do you mean the small thumbnails (no) or the Preview (yes)
    if the Preview doesn't "match" Photoshop, then the image is likely untagged (or Ps is applying a different source profile)
    i am pretty sure Bridge applies sRGB to untagged images for the Preview, and Ps applies its working RGB profile for all practical purposes (if we don't color manage it)
    try downloading the IPHOTO TEST FILES and taking them into Bridge (and other file managers)
    PS
    the iphoto tutorial images contain a low resolution 72ppi collection of 10 files of one image in five different colorspaces in tagged/untagged pairs

  • Acrobat distiller keeps on quitting when creating pdf

    Hi there, my Acrobat distiller 10 in OS X Mountain Lion keeps on quitting when creating pdf. Please help.

    Hello,
    1. Please try updating the Acrobat to 10.1.10 and then check the issue.
    2. Go to Settings -> Font Locations. You'll see a list of sources that Distiller gets its fonts from. Make sure that the paths actually exist, delete them if they don't.
    3. Try with different joboptions.

  • Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's

    Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's. Where can I downlaod it and why is it suddenly happening?

    OS? Version of ID?
    This means that either you have an extra Helvetica Medium font installed and it's interfering with ID finding the T1 version, or the T1 version is damaged. I found this really old thread that explains it fairly well: http://www.asadesigner.com/22-indesign/2d812de56777cc90.htm
    The good news is that it's probably only affecting the page information marks.

  • Choosing Output (Color) Settings When Creating A Photoshop PDF

    I created an illustration in Photoshop (CS2). I worked in RBG. I'm transmitting it to a printer who requires that I send it as a PDF.
    I make a copy of the original .psd file. I embed the fonts (rasterize text). I flatten the file. I do a Save As to save it as a PDF.
    When I do the Save As, I embed color profile sRBG IEC61966-2.1.
    Now I have to mark all the PDF settings in a series of display windows: General, Compression, Output, Security.
    The one I'm having doubts about is the third group: the Output (Color) settings.
    Here's my question:
    Having embedded the RBG profile (sRBG IEC61966-2.1) in my PDF file, if I choose "No Conversion" and "Include Destination Profile," can I be sure that the printer will print my illustration using the embedded color profile sRBG IEC61966-2.1?
    I thought it might be helpful to show all the Photoshop display windows in the above sequence, so I've also posted this question here:
    http://markarmstrongillustration.wordpress.com/514-2/
    Would sincerely appreciate your feedback-- many thanks.

    Hi again Scott,
    Thanks again for your very helpful feedback. Let me try to sum up what else I've learned, and to try to put the situation in perspective.
    I did cover art for a guy who's self-publishing thru Createspace, which is a print-on-demand subsidiary of Amazon. I'm currently awaiting a proof to see how the colors turned out.
    I work in Photoshp. Createspace requires cover art files to be submitted in PDF format. You can work in either RGB or CMYK, they say-- doesn't matter.
    When I save my file (in Photoshop) as a Photoshop PDF, I can embed the color profile I used. In my case, that was sRGB IEC61966-2.1. And I did embed that profile. I also have to enter Output (Color) settings for the PDF. I went with "No Conversion" (i.e., stick with sRGB IEC61966-2.1) and "Include Destination Profile" (which I thought-hoped would be my embedded profile, again, sRGB IEC61966-2.1).
    But I wasn't sure-- I have very limited experience submitting PDF files for print-- so I posted my question here. I also posted it to the Createspace Community Forum, and I also sent it to Createspace Tech Support.
    The response I got in the CS Forum was very helpful-- FYI here it is:
    "I participated in some of those discussion where no one seemed to agree on a correct answer -- and decided to try to find one (at least, for me and my projects).  To that end, I designed a color reference sample booklet, dropped in color swatches working in RGB and CMYK, printed/distilled the pages to PDF using every reasonable combination of settings I could think of, and over the past couple of months have ordered proofs of each and compared the resulting colors to the colors in a commercial printer's 4-color process guide.  When working in RGB, I got the most accurate color by selecting the "Convert to sRGB IEC61966-2.1" option and embedding the sRGB ICC color profile data.  Obviously, I can't say if that's the right answer for someone else, but it was in my case."
    And here's the not-so-helpful response I got from CS Support:
    "We accept files in both the RGB and CMYK color spaces. We recommend maintaining all original artwork in Adobe RGB, which allows for the best possible conversion to our digital, CMYK printers.
    I apologize that I am unable to offer specific information regarding which color space to use during file creation. We will accept either Adobe RGB or sRGB submissions - we do not recommend one over the other. Any images may be tagged with your choice of CMYK or RGB profiles or left untagged in a generic color space and as such, you are welcome to create your PDF files through any program or method you like.
    It is because of the numerous programs and methods available that we are unable to give technical assistance with PDF creation.
    I understand your desire to ensure accurate color reproduction; unfortunately, color management for books is not something that we offer at this time.
    As you are required to order a proof before making a title available for sale, you will have the opportunity to review a physical copy to ensure you are satisfied with the color. After reviewing the proof copy, you may make adjustments to your files if necessary."
    I also googled "color profiles" and "printing" and came across this statement:
    "Many printers now prefer digital art files be supplied in the RGB color space with ICC profiles attached. Images can then be converted to the CMYK color space by the printer using color management methods that honor profiles if present; this helps preserve the best possible detail and vibrancy."
    And I also found a very credible site (http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/adobe-rgb.htm) which said that Adobe RGB (1998) is, essentially, only used by niche photographers, and which recommended sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as the "universally accepted" RGB color profile. 
    Anyway--
    Based on all the above, including your own feedback, I think I made the right choices-guesses for my PDF, at least for one being sent to Createspace: embed sRGB IEC61966-2.1, and specify "No Conversion" and "Include Destination Profile." At any rate, I'll get to see how closely the colors match when I finally see the proof.
    Probably more than you wanted to know. Oh, well...

  • Dull, muted colors when creating PDF

    As a signmaker I regularly create PDF files from my signmaking program (FlexiSign) to email to clients for approval. Sometimes it works perfectly and at other times the colors come out totally dull and muted so that there is little similarity to what the finished product will look like.
    I've tried a number of different things to correct this. Have even created eps files to open in Illustrator and then create a pdf but it still comes out differently.
    I downloaded a trial version of PDF Converter Professional by Nuance Corporation to try it out. The colors work perfectly every time with that program but I don't want to buy it since I already own Adobe Acrobat Professional.
    I would imagine there are some settings I need to change to make things mesh but I'm not sure where to begin. Any thoughts?
    Operating system: Windows XP
    Acrobat Version: 6.0 Professional

    OK, George.
    Your comment about Pantone vs RGB, as well as the discussion you provided a link to caused me to try to understand color management. I went over to Lynda.com and went through part of one of the courses there and also looked in the Help documentation in my design program.
    I am relatively uninformed about color management and just kind of try to go with what the program gives me but I see how critical it is. I tried some settings in my design program, which were pretty unsatisfactory. However, what I did find was that if I take the Pantone colors and convert them to RGB before I create the PDF in Acrobat, the colors stay very satisfactorily true to what is seen in the original file. (Again, my aim is to let the client view a reasonable simulation.) I will continue to experiment and see if there is an overall setting I can use rather than doing the manual conversion, but at least you helped me to identify the culprit - namely the inconsistency of the color settings between the 2 programs and the need to use RGB.
    Thank you!
    P.S. One caveat - You say that if I wanted to use Spot Colors it should print fine (even though it doesn't display correctly.) I doubt if this is true because I believe in the conversion process it maintained the values for CMYK and assigned those as values for RGB, which explains why it turned out so dull in the PDF display.

  • Proper Color Management from Indesign- PDF- Printer

    I can't get my head around this problem and it's been bugging me for a very long time. Maybe you can enlighten me on this?
    Right, I know (heard), that when sending a PDF document into Offset Printer, it shouldn't have embeded ICC profiles (for whatever reasons). Here comes my problem: my Indesign is set to AdobeRGB for RGB and ISO Coated v2 (ECI) for CMYK images. When I create a new document and place in three same TIFF files, but each one with a different ICC profile (AdobeRGB/sRGB/ISO Coated V2) and then export this document into PDF (Acrobat 4 PDF 1.3, no color conversion and no profile embedding (in Output tab)), only the image with AdobeRGB looks exactly like I saw it in Indesign. The image in sRGB is more saturated and the CMYK image is different as well). This is also visible after printing out this document on Xerox 700.
    Now, if I export the same document into PDF and choose to embed the ICC profiles, all three images look pretty much like they do in Indesign (and even as each other, except the CMYK one being a little bit off).
    I looked into color settings in my Acrobat and found a strange thing. The working color profile for RGB space is AdobeRGB (which is correct), but for CMYK it is "Monitor RGB - sRGB IEC.....) - and when I try to change this to ISO Coated V2, hit OK, close Acrobat and open the PDF file again, it is set back to "Monitor RGB - sRGB IEC...." for CMYK color space.
    So now I am confused, why images in PDF file that has no embeded ICC profiles look different from what I see in Indesign - is it normal? Or is my Color settings wrong? What would be the proper settings then?
    And my other question: When I place a grayscale image into Indesign, it looks a lot darker than it looked in Photoshop. But when I enable the Overprint preview, they look OK. Now my concern is, what is correct? I don't want the images to come out so dark from print, but I can't really brighten them up any more in Photoshop, because there they look all right.

    I try to stay optimistic about Adobe color management, but it really is broken. This thread is just another example of the problem.
    Monitor profiles aside, the issue is the destination CMYK matching the print condition. Here we need a conversion to ISO Coated v2 (ECI).
    Or do we? If the original PDF is all CMYK, Adobe's default answer is "No Conversion Necessary". You could have US Web Coated SWOP v2 going in, it doesn't matter. If this gets placed in the new InDesign, then re-output PDF/X with ISO Coated v2 Output Intent, you essentially have a false output intent in the new PDF that does not correlate with the original file.
    Then, when you soft proof the original and the new on-screen, there is an appearance shift. But don't worry, it's OK, the numbers are the same. Which begs the question – if the numbers are OK, which appearance is correct?
    So let's switch gears. Start all over, and this time try to maintain color appearance. That means the US Web Coated SWOP numbers will change in the conversion to ISO Coated. Incoming is PDF/X-1a, with US Web Output Intent. This is placed in InDesign and imposed. Now re-output to PDF again, this time "Convert to Destination", NOT preserving numbers.
    Open up the PDF. We still have the blasted appearance shift! InDesign doesn't recognize the Output Intent in the original. All of the CMYK color in the original is Device, so InDesign leaves all the number values alone.
    Back to the original PDF, in Acrobat. Since InDesign can't do the conversion, it has to be done here. Is it easy? Depends on your definition of easy. True, the PDF has the Output Intent. The problem is PDF/X-1a is not a format that is meant to be refried. If the Acrobat working space is ISO Coated, it will treat the entire PDF as source CMYK ISO coated, because – don't forget – it's Device color. Device = Uncalibrated. Convert to ISO, no CMYK values will change.
    That means you have to change Acrobat CMYK working space to US Web. Now convert to the new Output Intent – ISO Coated. Don't forget to enable Preserve Black. Finally! A conversion. Let's just hope any JPEGs in the PDF survive getting refried.
    The PDF can now be placed and imposed in InDesign. Just remember to reset your Acrobat Color Settings now that you've fixed the broken PDF.
    Confused yet? It gets a lot better than that. What if whoever produced the original PDF didn't bother with PDF/X, or including profiles. Then you have mystery meat.
    Mystery = broken. You can't go anywhere because you don't know where to start. Sure, the Acrobat CMYK working is the assumed color space of CMYK content in the PDF. But is that really the correct CMYK?
    Probably not.

  • Colors shift when a PDF file contains transparent image

    Hello,
    I tried to programatically set a soft mask to an image by using the Addobe PDF Library, in order to make part of the image transparent. The image color space is RGB. I used PDEImageSetSMask() funtcion for setting the mask. I also have a PDF file that was created in the same way but without the part of the code that sets the mask. Therefore this PDF contains the same image as not transparent.
    When I open two files in Adobe Reader 9.2.0 the colors are not the same. The colors in the file which contains the transparent image are a bit darker. The colors are different not only inside the image box, but in all page area. I also tried to open the same file in GSView and there was no such problem.
    Can I fix this by changing the Adobe reader preferences, or this is a problem in the code that genereates the PDF?
    If this is not the correct forum to ask this question, please direct me to the correct forum
    Thanks

    You need to set the transparency blending space of the page to RGB, since the default blending space is CMYK (hence the color shift).  You do this by adding a transparency group dictionary to the page's dictionary when creating the PDF.

  • Bridge Color Management Issue - Looking for Registry setting

    We have 100 people in our office. Currently, in order to enable color management, we have to go into each person's Bridge Center Color Management Color Settings panel, select our custom color settings file and hit apply. That takes care of 1 out of 100 people.
    How can we automate this process...
    We would like to create a script that sends a custom color setting file to individual user's stations. Does anybody know the registry setting that controls synchronization of settings on a user level?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Dan,
    Did you ever find such a mechanism? I am looking to do pretty much the same thing. I can get the .CSF file to the workstations no problem, but I need to set the apps to look at it for their Color Settings. My guess is that there is a registry settings somewhere, but for the life of me I cant find it.

  • White boarders around artboard when creating pdf in CS4

    Hi,
    have been trying to find solution for this issue for 4 hours now and im loosing my mind:)) ... so decided to ask some help from you guys.
    Problem: im trying to create pdf file with black background in Illustrator cs4 and white thin boarders keep appearing to the right and bottom of the page. I have streched the background image so that its bigger than the artboard but white lines are still there when pdf is opened?!? I guess there is extremeley easy solution for this (kind a "you forgot to tick the box from x menu") but i just cant figure out .... so all the help is most wellcome!!!
    Thank you in advance!
    Jimi

    @ Jacob --- you're half correct, in that it's a small bug, or smoothing artifact in the Preview application from Apple.
    White boarders go away when you uncheck "Smooth text and line art" in Preview Preferences, under the PDF tab. Since that makes everything very pixelated, I don't recommend keeping that setting on.
    Instead, consider installing Adobe Reader or using Acrobat Pro, where incidentily, the very same phenomonen can occur. In Acrobat Pro, you can also toggle "Smoothing" in the Preferences, Page Display dialog.
    TIP: Preview works best with RGB PDFs, whereas if you are doing print production work, I would suggest using either Acrobat Reader, or Pro which is my preference because of the soft-proofing and print production tools.

  • XMP Metadata Error when creating PDF/A-1b

    Hello,
    I just started using Adobe Acrobat X for Mac to create PDF/A-1b documents from scanned TIFs.  I created a script in the Action Wizard to 1) Combine Files into a Single PDF; 2)Downsample image resolution to 150 ppi (bitmaps to 300 ppi); 3) Recognize Text;4) Pause to find all suspects and make corrections to incorrect OCR; 5) Convertto PDF/A-1b (sRGB); and 6) Verify compliance with PDF/A-1b.
    When I use the Action Wizard to to execute the script above I receive an error message stating "Metadata does not conform to XMP."  However, when I execute each of the actions manually I do not receive the XMP metadata error.  It takes a long time to execute each action manually, so I am hoping there is some way to make this full script work in the Action Wizard.
    I have an open case with Adobe regarding this issue, but so far no solutions.

    I do not receive an error when the "Verify compliance with PDF/A-1b" action is removed from the script.  Does this action have to be performed separately to avoid the XMP metadata error?

  • Letters change when creating PDF

    I am using Acrobat Professional 6 and creating PDFs with the "Adobe PDF" icon it created when installed.
    Some documents from the Bloomberg system are converted by a sort of substitution cypher to gibberish. Capital letters are affected, but not lowercase. Capital letters are changed to the next letter in the alphabet. Also, numerals are increased by one. Exclamation points replace spaces, forward slashes replace periods, etc.
    For example, the original said this:
    Crandon Capital Partners v. Shelk, 202 Ore. 537
    The PDF says this:
    Drandon!Dapital!Qartners!v/!Shelk/!313!Pre/!648
    This is repeatable on different days and with different files.
    This does not happen with files from other sources, but the Bloomberg tech people insist it doesn't happen for them. I learned they are using Acrobat 8; could that be the difference?
    In any case, how do I fix it?
    Peter W. Schroth

    Look at the document properties (ctrl-D) under the font tab. You probably did not embed the fonts. I suspect you are using the Standard Settings which does not embed all fonts. Try changing the settings file to Press or Paper (I don't remember which ones are listed for AA8). You can also check the settings to be sure that the fonts are embedded (all of them) and probably subset.

Maybe you are looking for
