InDesign PDF Export Color Issues

So I've encountered a frustrating problem that I know others have experienced. It involves the PDF export from InDesign where the PDF color is not matching the document view. It's a critical issue regarding soft proofs for designs where color needs to match the desired result. I never had any issues before but now it's kicked in after upgrading to Mountain Lion and CS6.
Let me preface a few things first...
Yes, I've callibrated my monitor
Yes, Creative Suite color settings are in sync.
Yes, I've tried the changing transparency blend space... makes no difference.
In my case I have an RGB TIFF placed which has dark midnight blue to light blue tones. When I do an export and it doesn't matter what PDF settings I use the color shifts making it more purplish bllue and the lighter blue tones go away.
BUT, when I export a JPEG, the JPEG looks PERFECT, just like it should and matches the document view.
So I figured the problem must've been solved with the new Acrobat XI... I download the trial and installed it. I created a new PDF and it comes up looking like it should. GREAT, except for the price to update to Acrobat Pro XI!
THEN, some message comes up about trusted certificates?! I click ok... and the color on the PDF goes wrong again! What is the problem with this CRAP? HOW DO I FIX THIS GARBAGE? Is it fixable on the old version (Acrobat X)?
I've worked in Adobe products for years but they are going backwards and becoming more problematic by the day. Not to mention it's ridiculous to have to pay $200 to get a new version of Acrobat Pro after recently buying CS6. This is an insult to long time professional customers, you should be providing this update FREE to makeup for your broken, out of sync with Apple CRAP.

Well any local application change to the color settings is going to show up out of sync
All syncing does is match the application's Working CMYK and RGB settings, but the only case where a Working profile color manages a document is when the doc has no profile assignment. So if I sync to North American General my Working CMYK space is US SWOP, but if I open a document with US Sheetfed assigned, US Sheetfed manages the preview not US SWOP.
I'm not saying you aren't experiencing a bug, but you have to be sure of what profile assignments or simulation profiles are driving the preview and syncing doesn't do that. How you export (are  you including profiles?, making a conversion?), and what device you are simulating in both programs can make syncing meaningless for existing document's previews.
I can't test X but with XI if you export a PDF/X-4 (where there's no conversion and all profiles are included), the  preview with Output Preview closed shows RGB objects unchanged—same as ID with Overprint/Sep Preview Off.
When I open Output Preview the initial Simulation profile is the PDF/X-4 output intent which is the ID doc's assigned profile, in that case  RGB objects preview in the output intent's CMYK space—same as ID with Overprint on.

  • CS3: PDF-Export Transparency Issue when Image-Links are missing

    I have a Layout with a transparent Frame on the top most Layer. For this Workflow-Step I do not have access to the original Image-Links, so I guess that all I see are the embedded Preview-Pictures and InDesign reports that all Object-Links are missing.
    If I export this Layout as JPG, the resulting JPG looks like the WYSIWYG in InDesign, which is suitable for this workflow-step. However when I export as pdf, the Frame is not transparent anymore. Instead it is filled with white color and covers the rest of the Layout. In Adobe Reader I can actually select the wrongly covered Picture at the border of the frame and copy&paste it somewhere and it looks fine.
    When I provide the original Frame-Picture and repair the missing Link in InDesign, PDF-Export works fine.
    I have installed & updated InDesign on a new Mac OS X 10.4.11, so all settings should be default.
    Transparency Blend Space is set to CMYK. I tried all default PDF-Export Profiles and tried a lot of different settings in the pdf-export dialogue including different PDF-File-Versions, Simulate Overprint on/off, Color-Conversion disabled, disabling Picture-Compression and much more. I also tried to Print a PS-File and then use the Distiller: same result.
    I use Adobe InDesign CS3 V 5.0.2 and tried Adobe Reader 8.1.2 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to display.
    Any Ideas?

    Transparency flattening REQUIRES having access to the high-resolution images to get good results. One of the slogans I teach printers is "Fatten before you flatten." Meaning, replace the low-res images with high-res images.

  • Indesign PDF Export issue - quality

    I have InDesign Desktop CS5 and InDesign Server CS5.5
    When I export using InDesign Desktop, it exports a 2.16mb file and everything is sharp.
    When I export using Indesign Server, it exports a 264kb file and at 125% zoom level, it looks blurry.
    The preset we used was High Quality Print.
    I cannot get the file over 2mb on InDesign Server (max was 1.2mb with all the settings turned on).
    How can this be when it's using the same pdf export preset and same template? I also tried manually creating new preset based on the High Quality Print settings but it's still blurry.
    Just for testing, I tried this on the regular InDesign Server CS5, and it exported fine. What settings were changed between CS5 and CS5.5 (everything is set to default settings)?

    The directory structure for the template files are the same for Desktop and Server.
    When I open up the PDFs generated by both, doing a side by side comparision, the server looks blurry at 125% zoom level while desktop looks sharp.

  • InDesign PDF Exports not as small as Quark

    Anybody know why inDesign PDFs are double the size of Quark's? I choose the smallest file size setting and the PDFs still come out twice the size of Quark's.
    Thanks!

    Without seeing the comparison files in terms of content, it's very hard to guess what's going on exactly, but there are a few considerations.
    (1) Quark does not support PDF creation with ICC color profiles. Those can get rather large if you have multiple CMYK color spaces or a large number of different RGB color spaces, but those profiles are necessary. Being smaller because you are not color-managed is hardly a feature.
    (2) InDesign does uses PDF language features that allow fairly intelligent handling of objects within Acrobat when using exported PDF (such as understanding that the fi ligature is really the letter f followed by i for purposes of searching, for example).
    You don't mention which version of InDesign you are running, but very dramatic PDF file size improvements were made for InDesign 5 over InDesign 4 and for content with non-overriden graphics on master pages, significant PDF file size improvements for InDesign 6 over InDesign 5.

  • PDF Export Deski issue: Proccess Flow ?

    Hi ,
    I have  configured distributed environment of report servers with CMS cluster.
    The issue I have is not able to export to PDF format (Deski reports). I went for fix pack 3.4 on BO 3.1 sp3
    I found it working only on Deski report server which is on the machine where we have CMS server  this I tested it manually.
    My architecture designed in a such way that reports , job servers are installed on two diffrent machines where we do not have
    CMS server installed  so that we don't have much load for report schedules ,view and referees request in other way its
    distributed environment I have been struggling to identify the issue.
    Any one faced this issue ?

    Doh!!! I am about to answer my own question, I have resolved this issue.
    In my colour settings in indesign  in the CMYK box in the Colour Management Policies
    I had 'Preserve Numbers (Ignore linked profiles)' checked. I have now changed this to 'Preserve embedded'
    I get it now! I was afraid to use preserve embedded in case it did not change on the destination. It seems it does. I got the terminology the wrong way round.  I hope this has helped somebody else other than me.
    Thanks all!!

  • InDesign export to PDF Print color issues

    Hey there,
    I'm working on a document in InDesign, have been for many hours now.  So far whenever exporting to PDF print there have been no problems.  Now all of a sudden, if I change a color in the InDesign file and export to PDF, nothing actually changes on the PDF anymore.
    Any idea what's going on? Did I accidentally change a setting or something?
    Example:  Say I have a shape that's Black. I export it, it's black.  Now, I go into the document and change the shape color to Yellow, export it; still black.
    Regards,
    SL

    Chrome's built-in PDF browser does not even begin to conform to the PDF specification. It might be fine to read PDF files from the simplest of Word documents, but not output from any graphic arts source.
    (The same is true for Apple's Preview application under MacOS and their PDF viewer under iOS!)

  • InDesign PDF export to network server becomes invisible

    Hi,
    Just upgraded to InDesign CS5. When I export a PDF document and post onto network server, it becomes invisible. I only know this because when I export onto my desktop and then drag into the network folder, it gives me an error message that it can't replace an invisible file. So I found a way to view the invisible file, trashed it, then dragged the one on my desktop into the network folder. Worked fine. I'd prefer not to have to do this EVERY time I export to PDF. Anyone have any experience with this issue? Help?

    I'd vote a dodgy server. I've had no issues with Mac OS X 10.5.x 10.6.x or Windows 2000, 2003, 2008 or Windows 7 shares.
    InDesign has been known to work over the network. I think a patched version of CS 5 has little to no issues working on network shares that I've heard of.
    Print Professional is a reasonably vague term that doesn't necessarily mean there is an amazing network setup. The difference between having a clean network setup with collision domains that are not congested and a packet dropping nightmare isn't always apparent. One can have a 60 dollar switch or a 2000 dollar switch and that can make all the difference. Similarly a file store can be a fibre channel beast or a NAS with a gigabit connection. Both can throw out the term gigabit and terabyte and be accurate, but the difference between SOHO grade junky with shakey firmware. What you'll get out of the CISCO Catalyst or HP Proliant in comparison to LinkSys and an HP MediaSmart are worlds apart.

  • Including CMYK profile in InDesign PDF Export

    Hi,
    I'm trying to export from InDesign a pdf file, which includes embedded profiles both in RGB and CMYK images. There are two linked images in my INDD layout, one embedded with RGB profile and another with CMYK profile.
    In Output I have the settings NO COLOR CONVERSION.
    When in PROFILE INCLUSION POLICY I try to include profiles to images, I only can have the CMYK profile with the setting INCLUDE ALL PROFILES. But with that setting also native CMYK elements like text will be tagged with a profile, and that I do not want to have.
    With the RGB image the profile is included.
    Question # 1: Why do not CMYK profiles will be included with the settings: INCLUDE TAGGED SOURCE PROFILES and INCLUDE ALL RGB AND TAGGED CMYK SOURCE PROFILES??? According to the help they should do that.
    Question #2: Is the item CREATE TAGGED PDF in the GENERAL tab related to this somehow?
    Best Regards
    Erkki H

    If you choose Include All RGB and Tagged Source CMYK Profiles any placed CMYK objects that have profiles that match the document's CMYK profile are considered Device CMYK, and no conversion is necessary at output. So in this PDF I have the same image profiled with the document's GRACol CMYK profile (top) and US Newsprint (bottom). Acrobat's Output Preview tells me that the top image is Device CMYK (it matches the PDF/X Output Intent) and the bottom image has the US Newsprint profile:
    The bottom image sampled
    But with that setting also native CMYK elements like text will be tagged with a profile, and that I do not want to have.
    If you don't use the PDF/X-4 standard and change the output to Include All Profiles then all color including native ID colors gets profiled. In that case my top image would have the GRACol profile and as you noted any native colors would also be profiled.
    I'm not following why placed image color should be profiled, but a native ID color shouldn't?

  • Lightroom 2 Export Color Issues

    I had been using LR 1.4 without a problem. I don't use LR to print I used Qimage. I am noticing that I cannot get bad colors when exporting to jpg and printing with Qimage.
    I don't have a profile issue, that I know of. Qimage allows printing a CR2 file direct now and the colors are perfect.
    I must be missing something. Since using LR2 the colors on exports are all off.
    Is anyone else experiencing any problems like this?
    David

    Thanks for the feedback. I am not sure if this is fully correct but:
    I tweaked a test CR2 in Qimage and printed directly from Qimage (good colors) After I went to LR2 and played with the same image and printed in LR2 (bad colors), exported to jpg (bad colors) and printed the jpg in Qimage (bad colors) Went back to LR2 and pressed reset in LR2 and stared over from scratch. (output good again - print and export)
    I am not sure but I don't think Qimages RAW changes are non-destructive to the RAW data. I am going to post message in Qimage forums, but MAYBE that messed up the CR2 file until I clicked on Reset.
    Any thought?? I will post my answers from Qimage forum.

  • InDesign/PDF Export Glitch

    Recently, my InDesign (CS3) stopped being able to export PDF files. I can print a PDF, just not export. When I try to, the Export Window pops up, but immediately reduces to a tiny quarter-inch square on the screen, and my File menu highlights but freezes that way. I have to hit Command-period to escape.
    Any suggestions on how to fix?

    Hi Yami.
    It's happening in new and old docs, and in a different admin user. I worked through this a few times with Apple tech support and couldn't get it to work. Thought maybe it was something other's were experiencing...maybe not?
    Not using Extensis.
    Any other suggestions, or should I just stick with Print to PDF?

  • Xcelsius 2008 - PDF Export Formating issue (Landscape)

    I've created an app that uses a landscape layout.  When exported in PDF the SWF opens with a massive white space above and below the app. If I rotate the view in Adobe it cures the problem until the PDF is opened again. 
    Is there a way to export to PDF in the intended aspect ratio without the white space?

    Hello,
    I am facing the same problem. Is your problem solved?
    FYI: I am using Xcelsius Enterprise 5.5.0.0 and the build Number 12,5,0,1388.

  • CC InDesign PDF Export Presets

    Hi folks.
    So before I went to CC, if I wanted to export to PDF, I would File>Export and choose PDF then get a dialog box.
    I made a few presets and they worked just fine. I would choose File>Adobe PDF Presets> choose one and I would still get the dialog box in case I needed to change anything. Then hit ok.
    Now that I went to CC, when I choose one of my presets, I get a weird little dialog box at the top of my app window that says "save preset, cancel or export". Er, what? And it has no items in it in case I need to change something. If I go to define a new preset, I get all the options but what's with this new dialog box that ninjas in. I missed it the first few times and wondered why my file hadn't exported.
    How do I turn this off and get back to my dialog box? Also, is there a key command (or do I need to make one? can I even make one?) that just exports as if you hit ok?
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Dot

    The first thing to try is repalcing the preferences and restarting the computer. See Replace Your Preferences
    If that doesn't work, I've put a folder of the older prests here: https://www.hightail.com/download/OGhkZ285Q1JBNkUwTWRVag

  • Indesign gradient pms color  issue

    I was wondering how to change a pms tint (exact %) in a gradient in indesign cs4? I'm just confused. It's pretty simple in illustrator..
    thanks.

    Don't be so ridiculous.
    The company isn't 1 person pulling all the strings.
    Each application has a different product manager, and each manager has their own team, and they have sub teams and they have sub teams and sub contractors.
    It's quite easy to make a tint swatch in InDesign and apply it to a gradient.
    It's quite easy to make a tint swatch in Illustrator and apply it to a gradient.
    There's just slightly different ways they incorporated the functionallity into the programmes.
    It's like saying why aren't all the Ford cars the exact same, why do some have air conditioning, why do some have better air conditioning than others?
    Well they're all made the same company! Why aren't they all the same?
    The answer is different teams, production schedules and the fact that sometimes somone has to make a decision.
    Perhaps the programmers of the InDesign product just couldn't produce the same Gradient abilities as the Illutrator team - it could be lack of time on the project and needed something there - but didn't have time to replicate Illustrators ability.
    It could be that someone decided that Illustrators way wasn't as good as the idea they had for how the function should work.
    Perhaps they created it that way because they want to build other features around it that Illustrators way wouldn't have worked.
    Get off your high-horse and learn the programme and how to do it within the programme.

  • Type shifts upon PDF export

    I have been wrestling with an issue for a while now and hope someone can shed some light on it.
    When exported from InDesign as a PDF, type often shifts vertically, horizontally, or both. The problem appears to get worse from left to right and top to bottom. The more columns there are, the worse it gets across columns.
    This problem was first caught on a commercial printer's proof when I noticed the type had shifted from my InDesign file to their proof. Since most commercial printers use PDF workflows (as this one did), any bug in PDF export represents a major issue. I have had projects print incorrectly due to this and I am in need of a fix that commercial printers can also implement because current projects are suffering from it and past projects have come out wrong.
    I have replicated the issue on numerous different machines (and even had it tested by friends around the country) running everything from CS3 to CC, so it seems to be a systemic and possibly old InDesign / PDF export issue. The problem seems to happen with any font format — OT, TT, orPS. The PDF settings (x-1a, x-4, etc) don't seem to affect the issue.
    Anyone can probably create a test file that will show the issue by making a vertical tabloid document with three columns, threading text to fill all three columns, and then setting the type to be 9pt / 12pt leading. Export a PDF and then import it and lay it directly on top of the page in InDesign, after having changed the type in InDesign to another color. In the samples below I changed the InDesign text to magenta, and the black is the PDF laid on top of it.
    Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
    Mike

    So I think we have a working solution for PDF/X-1a or simply a PDF with version Acrobat 4 (PDF-v1.3).
    The trick is to force transparency reduction to the text frame. One can do it without converting text to outline.
    Just put a rectangle with a fill of 100% [Paper] set to transparency 0% on top of it. Downside is, that the exported PDF will get a white background.
    Currently for PDF/X-4 I see no chance to work around the issue, if:
    1. Point size is 9 pt *
    2.1. A baseline grid of 12 pt * is used and the paragraph styles are set to align to it
    or 2.2. If the pointsize is extactly 9 pt * and the leading is exactly 12 pt *
    * I did not check all other creteria you mentioned in your 7th post: the ratio assumption between pointsize and leading, maybe the formula is something like that: Text Line Distance = n * (Pointsize + Pointsize / 3 ) => creep.
    I packed all documents to a zip archive that you can download from my Dropbox account:

    The mentioned white rectangle is placed on master spread A on layer "Text2Path".
    Live text in a text frame is on "Layer1" (visible).
    Layer "PDF-Layer-Text2Path-VISIBLE-when-exported" contains the placed PDF "Layer-Text2Path-VISIBLE-PDF-X1a.pdf", layer color is green, because here we can see no issues.
    Layer "PDF-Layer-Text2Path-NOT-VISIBLE-when-exported" contains the placed PDF "Layer-Text2Path-NOT-VISIBLE-PDF-X1a.pdf"; layer color is red and showing the issues.
    Both PDFs are exported with the same PDF Export Preset.
