InDesign PDF transparent images not printing right background color.

problem with exporting an InDesign Document to a PDF and printing. My transparent images are showing up with a darker background than what they are placed on. Know how to help?

Thanks everyone!  That really helped.
There were a few other things that I had to make sure of also.
Solution:
Images placed in InDesign that were made in Photoshop or another program should be in ckmy format.  The background needs to be in the same ckmy.   Transparency blend must be set at CKMY, then Transparency Flattener presents must be set at Rasters/Vectors: 0 Line art and text resolution: 600, Gradient and mesh resoltuion 300.  Exporting to PDF must be done under present PDF/X-4:2008 Compatibility: Acbrobat 7.

  • Why does converting word into PDF does not take the background color of the page?

    When I do a page background on a document, and save as pdf, it does not take the background color. It shows only white background.

    This may be a limitation with the built in PDF writer in OS X. Never tried it so I have no idea if it does the same on my Mac.
    As this is not a MS Word problem you are in the right set of forums.
    Have you tried another PDF writer other then the built in one?

  • Indesign CS3 & Epson r2400 not printing tabloid paper

    Indesign CS3 & Epson r2400 not printing tabloid paper. MAC OS 10.5.6. Have tried all configurations of page set up 11 x17 and 8.5 x 11 spreads, custom page sizes and default paper set up. The print comes out cut off. Epson says it's an Indd problem. Very inconvenient. Got any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem with IDCS3 5.0.4 and an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 on Mac OS X 10.5.6 with version 6.11 of the Epson driver. I have a 17x17 document in InDesign that I am trying to print on 17x22 paper. The paper spools a little less than half-way down and the print begins, but it prints about 1/4 of the image--it is as if it cropped at 8.5x11 at the top right corner of the image.
    I have had to resort to saving the file as a high-res jpeg and printing from Preview as a workaround. Unreal.

  • My photos are not printing right with adobe manages color but works when i use printer manages color. never had any issues untill a week ago.

    my photos are not printing right with adobe manages color but works when i use printer manages color. never had any issues untill a week ago.

    We use CS6, yes we calibrate using x-rite. I have always had adobe manage colors when printing. This problem just occurred, all my settings are the same as they have been for years. The only thing we did lately is do an update to CS6. We thought it might be our printer but when we use the printer manages color it works fine, The problem with adobe manages color is it is not blending the light highlights like on top of the cheeks with the colors around the cheeks  and its putting a faint red between the two it just does not have a smooth transition. I printed a photo that I had printed 4 months ago with no issue, and this time it had the issue that I am dealing with now. Somehow the photo shop manages color is not getting the right info to my printer.  
    I set paper type
    set quality
    no color adjustment
    set my profile

  • AI images not printing correctly from InDesign

    (Reposting from Color Management Forum)
    First off, please forgive me if this is  not the right forum or if I am not using the right terms.  I am the network admin for our company and I'm posting this on behalf of our designer.
    We recently added PostScript drivers to our Sharp printers, and we have been seeing odd printing results when printing embedded .AI files.
    We use CreativeSuite CS5, and our developer has hundreds of images with pure white and transparent backgrounds stored in .AI format.  When these images are embedded/linked to an Indesign document they print with a solid black background and what appears to be an inverted color pattern, almost like a photo negative.
    All embedded EPS images print fine.  The affected .AI files print fine when printed directly from Illustrator.
    The embedded images print fine using a PCL driver.  We are trying to implement the Postscript driver for better color quality.
    Any ideas?
    (We are using Windows XP SP3, x86
    Server based network printing on Windows 2003 x86)
    Thanks in advance
    Matt

    Unfortunately, no we are still dealing with it.  Like you, I have found very little on this anywhere else.
    Sharp has been very helpful, trying to see if it is something in the PS drivers, but to no avail.  I'm pretty confident that there is nothing wrong with the PS drivers since everything else prints just fine.
    So far, our designer is either converting images to EPS documents or converting the InDesign file to PDF before printing.  Frustrating and time consuming are an understatement, but it is getting the job done.
    If you do find something, please post back here! I'll do the same.

  • In Design CS6 - pdf not printing right

    OSX 10.8.5
    Adobe Creative Suite Design Standard / In Design v. 8.0.2  (latest update)
    ISSUE:  Seems to have arisen right after I upgraded my Mac OS from Tiger to Mountain Lion.  Not sure if there's a connection, however.  I just did the latest update for CS6, so don't know if the prior version of InDesign led to the problem either (it was CS6 but I hadn't done an update for awhile).
    Issue:  I created an InDesign page and then generated a press quality PDF for a commercial printer, who put it thru a RIP and then printed it.  My submitted PDF looked just fine, no issues that I could see.  However, on two occasions the pages printed with things missing…..in one case a header at the top and part (not all) of a block of text in the other.  On the second occasion, two bits of text within two separate text blocks were missing.  This NEVER occurred before, ever.  BUT….this has happened since upgrading to Mountain Lion OS and before updating CS6 to the 8.0.2 version I now have. 
    My printer said "In Design sometimes doesn't distill a PDF correctly", although this doesn't make sense as I've never had this happen before.  The fonts were fine, not protected, everything was present, all colors were fine, it was just sporadic missing text.  I've looked at everything and can't find any reason for this.
    Has anyone got ideas about this?

    Can we assume that you are exporting PDF, not somehow creating PDF via distillation of PostScript? PDF via distillation of PostScript is not reliable.
    And exactly what PDF joboption preset did you use when you exported PDF?
    Quite frankly, I somehow suspect that neither you, the MacOS version, the InDesign version, nor the PDF file itself are the problem.
    The fact that your printer is mumbling about “In Design (sic) sometimes doesn't distill a PDF correctly” leads me to believe that your printer may be the problem. Quite often, printers muck around with perfectly fine PDF files, opening them in (gasp!) Adobe Illustrator “just to check things out and to ‘fix things’.” The problem is that usually there really isn't anything to fix and that Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, repeat yet again not a PDF file editor. The only PDF files that Adobe Illustrator can safely open and edit are PDF files saved from Adobe Illustrator if and only if the “save editability” option is selected when such a PDF file is saved. Otherwise, it is very possible that text and other PDF objects may be lost or otherwise modified, colors changed, etc. The damage occurs when the PDF file is opened in Illustrator and becomes permanent when such a file is saved, even if nothing is explicitly done to the file by the user!
    Alternatively, your printer may have a wonky PDF workflow system with very out-of-date components or a very, very out-of-date RIP/DFE.
    Generally speaking, if you can open the PDF file in Acrobat or Adobe Reader and print successfully to a local print device, you should have no problems of the type you describe.

  • Why has part of an image not printed from pdf file?

    Hi, I have recently used Indesign to do the layout for a press advertisement. I exported the file as a High Quality pdf file to send to the printer. The logo on the advertisement  has not printed out correctly - the text part of the logo is showing but not the surrounding graphic. When you export and view the pdf file onscreen, everything looks fine. The graphic part of the logo is white - would this have anything to do with why it has not printed? What options should I have checked/unchecked to make sure the pdf prints exactly as it is seen onscreen or is it a problem with the logo file itself?
    I would appreciate any assistance.

    Hi
    if the logo is placed in front of the tint/backgrounds, if it's reverse the tint/background same color will be applied and the percentage of the color has been changed to 0%. it will works fine rather than changing the overprint/knockout. hopes it works.
    I'm afraid I don't understand waht you are trying to say here. The white in a logo should generally never be set to overprint. The only way I can think of to get any interaction between a backgorund and a white overprint is to use a blending mode, and that would affect the other colors as well, typically not what you want in a logo situation.
    This is a mistake in the construction of the original art, not a problem at can be fixed directly in ID.

  • Image not printing from Word 2010 to .pdf

    I have been successfully printing Word docs that contain my letterhead logo to .pdfs for a long time.  But right after I installed both Word 2010 and Acrobat Professional 9.4.1, the logo would get cut off when printing.
    I tried a lot of different settings, but just found that if instead of using the .pdf printer I simply "save as" the file as a .pdf, the entire logo prints fine.
    I just wanted to share this workaround solution in case others run into this problem.  Meanwhile, does anyone know why this might be happening?

    It would be nice if you can share your file with us so that we can replicate the issue at our end.

  • Images not printing properly in InDesignCS4

    I posted this in the color management forum but realize this may be a better place. Apologies for double-posting...
    I have made the switch from Apple Pages to InDesign (CS4) and am having poor print results. The same document, with the same image sources look great when printed on my Epson 1900 through Pages. When I print through InDesign, photos are washed out and slightly greenish. Pages directly accesses the print dialogue box where I have color management set to "no" and the correct paper type etc. Images print exactly as they do when I print directly from Photoshop.
    In InDesign I have tried several things...in clr mgmt I have In Design manage and correct paper profile (print settings also have clr mgmt turned off and correct paper type) I have tried both selecting and un-selecting preserve RGB(but I believe for inkjet it should be checked) Just always looks really bad. In the clr management box it is set to Document, but the profile, an sRGB IEC... profile, is not what I see for profile in Photoshop's color management. There it is cameraRGB. Should they not match? I am using the "place" command.
    Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
    I have superb color prints from Photoshop and pages using the same images and the same epson r1900... so I know it isn't the images!
    thanks

    Your working and or assigned RGB color space in ID should be exactly the same as your image color space. Also be sure you Transparency Blend Space is set for RGB. Don't forget to set rendering intent to the same as the PS print dialog settings.
    Output: Composite RGB
    Graphics/Send Data: All
    Color Management/Print: Document (should sow up as same space image is in)
    Color Management/Options/Color Handling: Let ID Determind Color
    Color Management/Options/Printer Profile: Same printer/paper profile as you selected in the PS print dialog.
    Color Management/Options/Output Color: Preserve RGB Numbers Unchecked.
    Advanced: Print as Bitmap Checked.
    Printer Dialog
    Here you need to make choices as ID uses the old printing path. Make sure you select Printer controls in Color Matching and then turn of CM in the driver.

    Metadata. Check the files and strip it or save to a format that doesn't support it in teh first place. Perhaps the copy&paste messes up some stuff on that level such as DPI flags or stored printer data...

  • FF not printing right hand side of the web page using MAC OSX

    FF is not printing out the right hand side of the web page. 1/2 to 1 inch i text is just cut off. Never had a problem in the past with this. Just happened, I believe after I upgraded FF. I am using MacBook Pro OSX.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I believe after I download the new FF update

    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8
    I have had problems with Firefox printing pages through most of the Firefox versions. I have tried printing in different ways to no avail.
    Among my attempts:
    printing to pdf, printing selected text, scaling down the page, using the print mode if the art. offers one. None seem to fix the problem.
    Not only does the right margin text get cut off but oftentimes only the first page prints, the rest of the article doesn´t. It just happened again so I went to Safari and the problem disappeared. I believe there´s a serious problem here.
    Below see a shot of what the preview of a 12 page article becomes when printed.
