CS6 Illustrator and InDesign colours are changed when the PDF is saved.

CS6 Illustrator and InDesign colours are changing when the saved PDFs are displayed on some different computers and for digital print output. I have ensured that the colours are all CMYK and tried different adjustments like preserving the numbers and the like but nothing is working. It prints properly on my inkjet and has displayed properly on different computers.

You need to read up on color management, color profiles and all that....

    Hi Kenton,
    Adding to what James mentioned, this stands true for both Lightroom and Photoshop. In other words, you don't need to necessarily install the previous versions but while installing the latest versions, in this case Lightroom 5 & PS CS6, you will need the serial keys for previous versions as well along with the current ones.

  • Illustrator and InDesign CC are blank!

    When I open Illustrator CC and InDesign CC the only thing that comes up is the menu tabs around the edges of my screen (Top - Menu, Left - Tools and Right - Tabs edges) and the whole centre of the program is missing, all I can see is my desktop image and those menu tabs around the edges. Please help.

  • Does CS6 Illustrator and InDesign work on Yosemite?

    I want to buy the CS6 Design Standard package but on the support page for OSX Yosemite it said they had only tested Photoshop to see if it was compatible. I was just wondering if all the other programmes in the CS6 package would still work?

    Ask in the respective product forums for experiences.

    Whenever your upgrading firefox browser, it updates only the browser it never remove your settings and bookmark. If you like the clean reinstall follow the below steps
    Note: clean reinstall removes everything from your system
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

    Hi,

  • Colour discrepencies between illustrator and InDesign

    Hi!
    I am a semi-amateur CS user, and am trying to create branding and a brochure for my own new business I'm starting.
    I have drawn a logo in illustrator, which is a single solid colour, as well as some extra branding motifs which are a collection of simple silhouettes in a further 3 solid colours. I've selected pantone colours for all of these as I understand this will ensure consistent printing in future.
    However I'm now creating out brochure in InDesign, and when I use the same pantone colours they look considerably different than they do in illustrator, and have different CMYK/RGB values. I'm placing the logo and motifs into the brochure in native .ai format.
    As a workaround I changed the inDesign colours to process, using the CMYK values from the illustrator logo, but even then the RGB values appear slightly different. However at least all the colours look the same - until, I export the brochure to PDF, when the inDesign colours look fine, but the logos I've placed from illustrator change colour drastically??
    Is it pantone causing the issue? We are a tiny web-based company and are only ever going to be printing business cards and a small number of brochures, perhaps occasional headed letters (not using pre-printed headed paper) so maybe it just doesn't matter and I should stick with ordinary CMYK colours?
    I am using CS6, and have synced colours in Bridge.
    Any help would be massively appreciated as I've exhausted Google and am helpless as to where to turn next!
    Thanks,
    Natasha

    I've selected pantone colours for all of these as I understand this will ensure consistent printing in future.
    Using Pantone Colors for a CMYK job wouldn't necessarily ensure consistency for future printing—to get the same color appearance the printing conditions have to be the same or the values have to be adjusted to accommodate the new printing conditions. An extreme example would printing the same CMYK values on glossy paper on a sheetfed press and then on newsprint, the printed color would change in appearance.
    What do I do if I'm working on images for web, or if i want to take illustrations etc from the CMYK brochure and change them to RGB for the website?
    The displayed appearance of CMYK values—mixes you make yourself or specified Pantone mixes—depends on the document's assigned CMYK profile. Change the assigned profile from US SWOP to US Newsprint and you'll see what I mean (Edit>Assign Profiles).
    So, if you are designing the printed materials for one printing condition, the document CMYK profile needs to be correct for that destination. In that case you can get the RGB equivalents (or hex values in CC2014) of your InDesign swatches via the color picker. If you want sRGB values make sure the document's assigned RGB profile is sRGB. Here my document's assigned CMYK and RGB profiles are the default US SWOP Coated and sRGB and the color picker is giving me the sRGB and hex equivalents of US SWOP's 50% magenta.
    In the case of images, if a CMYK image was saved with its profile it can be accurately converted to any RGB space. In Photoshop you can use Save for Web to convert a copy of the CMYK image to sRGB or another RGB space, but if you are saving for web without an embedded profile sRGB would be best.
    Alternatively you can leave your images as RGB in the layout and let the conversion to any CMYK destination happen at export or output. If you do that you have to watchout for color gamuts—RGB colors that are not printable. Turning on Overprint Preview shows you how RGB colors will change when they are eventually converted.

  • My UI preferences are set to identical settings in Illustrator and InDesign, why don't they look the same?

    My UI preferences are set to identical settings in Illustrator and InDesign ("scale to lower supported scale factor") and AI looks perfect, ID is too big. Why don't they look the same if the settings are the same? Driving me CRAZY. I have my windows scaling factor at 124% and it needs to stay enlarged, otherwise nothing else on my system will be readable. The inconsistency of the workspaces is so annoying.

    Hello billwoodard11,
    Thanks for the question. If your computer is not compatible with HD 1080p content, you should receive a prompt stating so - but should still be able to download the content for use on other devices. For more information, check out this resource:

    How to purchase, download, or view HD 1080p content
    iTunes 10.6 by default is set to purchase, download, and playback HD content in 720p. You must change your local preference setting if you prefer to download, purchase, and playback HD content in 1080p. Depending on your computer's hardware configurations, you may be unable to purchase, rent, or playback content in 1080p. iTunes may display the following dialog:

  • Adobe Illustrator and InDesign CS5 crash when trying to place images. Happens around 5+ times a day.

    Hi there
    This Mac is quite new and was originally a migration (using Migration Assistant) from an older Mac.
    Illustrator and InDesign in CS5 were both crashing often and most of the time it's when placing an image (in either application) – it doesn't crash each time I try to place an image, but 90% of the crashes are when placing an image.
    We tried lots of things, like cleaning out the fonts, clearing font caches etc. After several months of that, we decided to wipe the Mac clean and start from scratch. It has been reformatted with a clean install of the OS and only minimal additional software added. Although quite a few fonts have been reinstalled, they all validate in Font Book.
    One other thing of note is that the Adobe Updater fails to complete an update and so we have had to update each application manually from the Adobe website.
    I would be so grateful someone could help shed some light on what is going on. Here's an EtreCheck report. Can also provide crash reports from the Console if useful.
    Thanks!
