Export to PDF - white background

When I print ot export to PDF and I want to add a a background to the file in Acrobat afterwards, this background doens't seem to show... meaning the background is white instead of transparant. Any way to settle this?
I need this option for my invoices: we print on letterhead, but when sending an invoice by email, I include the letterhead background in Acrobat, which worked out easily in Excel.
Thanks!
Dirk

why not just place the letter head image as an image behind your Numbers tables?
Then either print to PDF or export to PDF from there?
don't forget to set each tables properties to no fill. Both the "container" and the table cell contents themselves need to be no fill. (This might actually be part of your problem, I don't know for sure with out being at my computer to check).

  • Exporting jpeg without white background??

    hey everyone
    I'm trying to export my work so I can place it on another picture.  It always takes the white background with it.  Is it possible to just export what I have drawn without taking whats behind it??  Any help would be great.  I'm using cs2.

    No... not in jpg. You need to export / save as a gif or png with transparency enabled. Make sure the background is unchecked / blank / has no colour.

  • Problem with subscript and superscript in tables when exporting in .pdf

    When I put some words in superscript (or subscript) in a table, a bug occurs when exporting in pdf (whit export or print either). All the words in the cell after the subscript part disappear in the pdf version. The rest of the table or the document isn't affected. It's really strange and it has occured since I shifted for the 5 version of Pages...
    I've no idea what to do...

    It is a long standing bug in Pages 5.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

    jpg and pdf formats don't support transparency. You need to use a format such as tif, png or psd that does.

  • How to export pdf with transparent background (or NO white background)?

    or, how do i get rid of the white background?
    I want to add a watermark behind the pages document AFTER pdf-creation (to be more exact: a light picture behind the text in the center of the page)

    Thanks everyone
    the trick is the following: it's a daily rewritten menu card, that's published in 2 directions:
    1. we print it on preprinted cardbords (therefore we need no background in the pages document) (30 times every day)
    2. we load it on the webserver, to make it available on the website and to send it out via newsletter. (technically i have a automator printplugin created which does the job of inserting the same backgroundimage as on the preprinted cards and then uploading it to the server)
    Well, I guess it does not look to shabby
    any ideas?

  • ID 5.5 Interact. PDF, cannot remove white background for Multi-States and buttons.

    Hi
    I am working on an Interactive PDF Portfolio document. The problem I have is with Multi-State object feature with several buttons going to states that need to be exported as a SWF and imported back into InDesign 5.5. See, the background of my entire doc. is GREY, but when I import the SWF (as directed in Lynda.com videos correctly) and export the entire doc as Interactive PDF and view it in Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 10.1.1) is when all the trouble starts.
    When I try to get rid of the WHITE background around the Multi-State objects and the buttons for them (using Select Object Tool and then control+click on it to change the Properties to Transparent Background Appearance) it does not change, even when I go forward and backward to the page.
    Does the option of removing white background and making it transparent work only for Animation, but not Multi-State feature with buttons?
    Can anyone suggest any other tecnique to create a nice slide show that works in Interactive PDF in ID CS5.5? Please..
    Sincerely,
    in need of help,
    Eve

    I have 8 Multi-State objects in one stack on the left and the 8 buttons for each state in the stack on the right. The background of my document is dark grey. There is space inbetween Multi-State objects and the buttons that show the grey background. But after exporting as SWF the Multi-States together with the buttons and placing the SWF back in the PDF file, the space inbetween Multi-States and buttons that is supposed to show the grey background appears white. The problem is that I cannot even change this white background to transparent in Acrobat Pro, as well. I used to do that to animations and it worked, but not in this case.

  • Is it possible to get transparent background when exporting to PDF?

    When exporting a document to PDF, Pages turns the background white instead of keeping it transparent. I need it to be transparent. Can anyone tell me what to do to fix this?
    When I print a document I use stationary that is in my printer. When I want to send the document by email I need to combine my text with my stationary (on the same page). In CS4 InDesign this is really easy with switching layers on/off, but I don't want to use InDesign for my wordprocessing, but Pages. In Pages I can add a background, but I can't switch it on/off. So now I use AcrobatPro 9 to combine my text document with my stationary, adding it as a watermark or background. This does not work with documents I made in Pages since Pages makes the background of a document WHITE when it exports to pdf. Instead it needs to be TRANSPARENT.
    By the way: MS-Word gets it right: it keeps the background transparent when making a pdf. But I don't want to go back to Word, I just want Pages to do it right...
    Any suggestions how I can make this work? Thanks!

    Hi marchaarman
    Pages has an odd behavior, it actually puts 2 white backgrounds in the back of its documents.
    This confounds Acrobat which inserts watermarks in front of the 1st background but sandwiched under the 2nd.
    MsWord does not actually make a transparent background it just makes the 1 white background, or whatever the paper color may be.
    If you want your watermark, you will need to add it in Pages, possibly as a master object in a section template that you can eliminate or add as you want.

  • White background of extracted image prints in pdf

    Hi'ya
    Using the "Extract" filter to crop a photo in Photoshop 7.0 allowed me to extract a person from a photo and it was saved as a .psd file.
    In my InDesign 2.0.1 layout, the psd file looks great and as it was an extracted image, I can put things in the foreground or background for a layering effect.
    I go to make a pdf and the pdf looks great on screen but when it comes to printing a white but invisible box prints around the psd file and blocks off items behind it.
    HELP!

    Did You export a pdf 1.3?
    And what kind of printing are You talking about? Offset or some office inkjet?
    Because in my experience the Acrobat preview (if Overprint Preview is active at least) represents the actual output very closely; and therefore I wonder if the printer or the RIP may be at fault.
    But actually I think the problem might be better fit for the Acrobat forum as Photoshop seems not to be the cause of the problem.

  • PDF Print, white background?

    When I export my .indd doc to a PDF (Print) it looks great. But when I print it out, some text has a white background and my drop shadows turn white. This is resolved by exporting to PDF (Interactive) but I intend to print this doc and want it to be the highest quality!

  • Background Colour Incorrect when exporting to PDF from Crystal Reports 2008

    Hello All
    When exporting to PDF from CR2008 the background colour of the crosstab is incorrectly displayed. The problem is as follows to create a crosstab with a grey header row and column details in white we have used the following trick.
    Format Cross Tab Border Background is set to Silver.
    Crosstab Expert Grand Total Background colour is set to white.
    The result is a crosstab with header in grey and details in white.
    This report displays correctly in CR2008, and exports as seen on screen to everything but PDF. When exporting to PDF the Crosstab is completely grey taking on only the Background colour of silver, and ignoring the Grand Total Background colour being set to white.
    What is strange that when I print to PDF the format is also displayed exactly as required,
    Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Some additional details.
    CR2008 version 12.3.1.683
    Adobe Reader version 9.3.3
    Windows XP Professional
    Thanks

    If this is a big issue for you then please purchase a case and a Rep can duplicate and escalate to R&D.
    As a work around export to Editable RTF and in Word 2007 you can get a PDF export plug-in and then export to PDF.
    Thank you

  • Exporting to pdf from Pages 9 turns all text color to white

    I made a 34 page document for someone, exported to pdf and sent it to him. He called me asking why all the text came out white. The only reason you could see the text is because I had a tinted background on every page. Tried several times and the black comes out white in the pdf document. Any one had that problem before?

    I'm using Acrobat pro 9.
    I have been using Pages and exporting to pdf for more than a year now and never had this problem. The file I'm working with is a word document sent to me by my customer that I copied and pasted into Pages. I found a way around it by doing the following: I clicked print. In the print window, there is a scroll down button that gives the option of saving to pdf or to postcript. Saving to pdf gave me the same problem, so I saced to postscript. I opened the postcript file withpreview and from there exported to pdf to get it to work finally.
    This is what the file should look like
    This is what I get when I export from the file menu

  • How Do I: Remove White Background From a Non-Standard Sized PDF?

    Hello. Been a little while since I was last here.
    My issue is pretty simple. I am creating a PDF in Acrobat Pro X from MS-Word 2007. My document is landscaped half-page sized (US), so dimensions are: 8.5" wide, 5.5" high.
    When I attempt to print to PDF, the dimensions come out correctly, but there is a white background which is the size of a landscaped 8.5" x 11" sheet. Against this background, the 8.5" x 5.5" area is situated (nearly) centered vertically, but "right-justified" horizontally (see image). I need to find out how to fix this.
    Here's what I know:
    In MS Word:
    For "Page Setup" (under Page Layout tab):
    - under Margins tab, orientation is landscape;
    - under Paper tab, "Paper size" is "Custom size", with Width 8.5", Height 5.5" ;
    - No changes under Layout tab.
    For "Preferences" (under Acrobat tab)
    - under Settings tab, "Conversion Settings" are a custom setting ("Advanced Settings"), with "Default Settings" of Width 8.5 inches and Height 5.5 inches.
    When I Print > Adobe PDF:
    For "Properties" in Print window:
    - Under Layout tab, "Orientation" is "Landscape" ;
    - Under Paper/Quality tab, "Paper Source" is custom with Width 8.5" and Height 5.5".
    - Under Adobe PDF Settings tab, "Default Settings" is "High Quality Print (Custom)" with (Custom) being the settings I set under Acrobat > Preferences.
    - Also under Adobe PDF Settings tab, "Adobe PDF Page Size" is custom with Width 8.5" and Height 5.5".
    The result is pictured above.
    The last thing I did before posting this was run Help > Repair Acrobat Installation in Adobe X. Any suggestions? You can't do worse than I have.

  • Adobe Media Encoder for AE export creates unwanted black background on load in white background

    Hi. I have a seamless white website design. I added a white background to my AE file and also exported to Adobe Media Encoder with a white background, but I'm still getting a flash of black when the video loads. I have read discussions of this being a "bug" of the media encoder, but curious if anyone found a workaround. It's distracting to have the back load to black and then change to white, so I appreciate any recommendations. For now, my only idea it to re-record the video after the black flash, using a screen capture app, but this seems tedious and does not produce optimum results. Am I missing something?

    Thanks for your reply!
    I tried using Quicktime with PNG and it created a big file (1.18GB for a 1 minute long clip) that doesn't play back nicely in PPro unfortunately. But I then tried rendering the clip using a lossy format, H.264, in AE and it's playing back ok in PPro! I will just do that for the rest of the clips and hope that this is finally resolved. Many thanks for the tip!
    Out of curisoty, do you know what might be causing the problem when I use Media Encoder?

  • PDF shows background color as white. Prints black. HELP!

    I'm trying to print the screen the way I see it which is a white background with black font and an image, but it won't.
    I went under preferences and accesibility and replaced document colors to black text and white background.
    However, it still prints in it's Image with black background format.
    Help, I've never written on one of these and this is frustrating! Thanks much!

    Nice tip. Yeah the spreadsheet is definately much close to perfect with Bridge/your method. I'm able to change the background to black and get rid of the gaps completely. It looks like this at the moment: http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/8359/bridge1c.jpg
    There's just one problem. I can only save the file as PDF, when instead I'd like to save it as .jpg or .png, but I guess I could work around this and batch autoconvert all of those PDF spreadsheets into JPG or PNG format with Photoshop after I'm done making all of the spreadsheets.
    Thanks alot for the help!

  • Open PDFs with white background

    How can I get PDFs to open in PS CS3 with a white background?

    Once open, you can add a white background layer or you can flatten.
    PDF files can contain transparency so a white background might be a modification that can only be done after the file is opened.
