Sorry, I will  explain my selft in more details.  I'm using PM7 and my publication have 5 clip arts in colors. Those looks good. When I converted to PDF, the process is finished fine, except that the 4 of the 5 clip arts are missing the colors and shown in gray color. I wonder why just one of them is fine and the others failed the conversion. Please help if you have any idea.  The clip arts was copied from free web site clip arts.
thank you
Andy
More details than that please. What file formats are these "cliparts", what color mode are they, are you placing them or pasting them? how are you "converting" to PDF, what PPD are you using?
Is there any difference in the 4 pieces of "clipart" turned gray and the one that didn't.

  • Missing Logo in PDF export

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with an InDesign document when writing PDFs of it:
    When exporting a PDF with the built-in export option sometimes a logo (eps) is missing in the PDF output - here some more info:
    - the document is now CS 4/Mac, but it was edited in CS 4/Win before and originally it was built in CS 3/Mac
    - the logo eps is correctly connected - InDesign never showed a missing link, the eps' colors are the colors of the pdf output (CMYK)
    - the logo eps is working perfectly in other documents and even on an other page of the same document
    - the problematic logo is placed on a master/template page in this document - when creating new pages using this master page they seem to have the same problem
    - when exporting the PDF via .ps and Distiller it seems to work without problems
    - in some exported pdf the logo is visible in some it's missing
    Anybody ideas? Solutions? My feeling is, that the document might be somehow corrupted. Is there a way to check the integrity of InDesign documents or is there a (software) solution to repair such documents?
    Many thanks in advance
    Daisy

    Many thanks, unfortunately none of these ideas helped - i tried:
    - export to INX and to IDML and reimport in InDesign 4
    - placing the Logo as .ai
    - duplicating the master page and using this template
    ... without having the problem solved.
    Then I removed all other elements on this page - and then surprisingly the logo now seems to work. What I removed from the page were some Indesign vector elements (an other Logo which had been placed via pasteboard from Illustrator and which did not seem to have any problems so far). Can this be the reason? Are there known problems with vector elements imported via pasteboard (maybe in combination with exporting the document between Mac and WIN or when upgrading a document from CS 3 to CS 4?)

  • Some text goes missing in the PDF output after I convert FM8 book

    Hi,
    I am using Framemaker 8.0, Acrobat 8.0 Professional, Acrobat Distiller 8.0.
    When I convert my Framemaker books to PDFs, some text (especially Table Heading tags) go missing in the PDF output. I have tried to change the font colour, change the cell shading, and many other options. But, the problem persists.
    I saw some similar links on the forums with this kind of problems. For example,
    http://support.microsoft.com/?id=952909

    http://helpx.adobe.com/framemaker/kb/troubleshoot-pdf-creation-problems-framemaker.html
    After going through these links from the forums, I realized that this is a known issue. But, the above links direct me to Microsoft patches and these patches are available only for Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server, and Windwos Vista operating systems. My operating system is Windows 7 Professional, 32-bit version.
    One more thing I want to say is we have never faced this problem earlier. It started appearing now.
    While I know that the world (many of us) moved on to Framemaker 9 and 10, I also know that there is someone out there to help me to overcome this issue.
    Thanks and regards,

    Hi Harpreet,
    Thanks for your response.
    We tried this option also. In fact, the Distiller shows this option by default. Secondly, we have recently updated our old template to reflect the new corporate styles and we suspect something went wrong there. We once again took the old template and updated with the new colour definitions and fonts, this time very carefully and it started working. Now, the text is not missing.
    So, the result is something is wrong with our template. Quite surprising is it is inconsistent and some places the text appears and some places it does not.
    Where do you work? Are you in India?
    Cheers,

  • Colors in pdf files changed when I open those files in the iPad.

    I usually use iPad and Goodreader for reading journal articles.
    There is one big problem reading the papers using iPad because colors in pdf files looks abnormal.
    When I use my labtop and desktop, I can see whole colors in the pdf files, so I can see what is exactly happening in the images in pdf files.
    However, I cannot catch any details from those images in pdf files when I use my iPad.
    For example, some colors in the pdf files disappeared and whole images in the pdf files looks too dark.
    I searched for some informations to solve this problem using google but I cannot find exact method.
    Many people said about this problem for a long time (maybe three years ago?) but it has not been solved yet.
    Can anyone suggest me how to solve this problem?
    If this issue cannot be solved, I think I do not have any reasons for using my iPad.

    You've just uncovered something I don't really know.  I had naively thought the Central Database and Cache are one and the same (and that the [ Purge Cache ] button would clear saved settings), but now I'm not so sure. 
    I tested by changing the parameters of a raw file, and I didn't see any files inside the Cache folder change their modification dates, which is not at all what I expected.
    I don't really want to press the [ Purge Cache ] button to check it here, because I want to retain my own settings.  You could try it and see if it clears the white balance setting on a particular file.

  • How to scan both sides of document in color to pdf with the dr-m160?

    how to scan both sides of document in color to pdf with the dr-m160?

    Hi healthynhappy1.
    To scan a 2-sided document, you will need to change the scanner settings in the software. 
    If you are using Capture On Touch:
    You will need to turn off the "Scan in Full Auto" option. 
    Next, you will open [Scanner Settings] and change the "Scanning Side" to Duplex. 
    Verify that the [Color Mode] shows "24-bit Color" and when you get the option to save the file, verify the [File Type] shows as "PDF".
    If you are using CapturePerfect:
    Click [Scan].
    Click [Scanner Settings].
    Change the [Scan Side] to "Duplex".
    Verify that [Color Mode] is set for "Color" and then save the file as "PDF".
    I hope that this information is helpful to you.  Should you need further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).  Have a great day!

  • Canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors

    canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors
    i have prfiled the mac and printer wiht colormunki and uplodated the profile sucessfully
    i set the printer to correct icc profile
    print out comes out same with glazed colors and missing tones/colors
    however when i use the same printer on windows and with light room, following same icc profile, colormunki calibrated profile, the print our are excellent.
    i have also tried using printer manage profile using the Mac and Aperture and get same poor prints
    can  you please assist and thanks

    I've a Pro9000 and also use Colormunki successfully.
    When I use Colormunki, I calibrate both of my monitors and the printer/paper combination. Colormunki saves the generated profiles to the correct places -- I don't load or change any profiles after that as that would mess-up what the Colormunki had just done for me, and this would likely mess-up the prints.
    Though I double-check the settings in the print dialogue, the choice for the printer handling things is already grayed-out. Colorsync handles it all just fine.

  • Preserve RGB colors in PDF/X

    Is there a way to preserve RGB colors in a PDF/X document?
    I always believed a PDF/X-3 allows RGB colors, but does flatten transparency. I tried that but all RGB colors become CMYK, even with "no color conversion" set in the output tab. We need it for large format printing.
    A "normal" PDF (High Quality Print...) preserves RGB colors, but it doesn't flatten transparency which gave us too many problems in the past.
    I'm not sure about when the colors are seen as "Device RGB" or "Calibrated RGB" in Acrobat either. What's the difference, and when does InDesign export it as Device or Calibrated RGB?

    You can think of a PDF/X file as a PDF file that has already gone through a set of "preflight parameters".  For example, the following "rules" apply to ALL PDF/X files - thus if the file complies with PDF/X, you don't need to bother checking such things.
    ALL fonts are embedded (may be full or subset)
    ALL colors are either CMYK or Spot (for PDF/X-1a) or Color managed (PDF/X-3)
    No transparency (PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-3)
    No annotations, form fields and the like covering over the page content
    Bleed and Trim have been specified
    Trapping status has been specified
    YES - it is most certainly possibly to preserve RGB in a PDF/X-3 file (but NOT a PDF/X-1a file).

  • Cannot Open Adobe Illustrator due to missing Plug In PDF Format.aip

    Hi, I am unable to open Adobe Illustrator due to a missing plug-in -- PDF Format.aip. What should I do about this?

  • 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.

  • Firefox crashes or runs but with splotches missing color, how do i fix it?

    when I start firefox my desktop starts flashing on and off and when it returns there are splotches missing color. firefox then either crashes or runs but with the colors muted and images distorted.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • I am missing colors in my Adobe Pantone Plus Library that are in my physical Pantone Plus Swatch Book.

    I have the most recent Illustrator downloaded and the Pantone Plus Library however I cannot find some Pantone numbers that are in my physical Pantone Plus book. One specifically is PMS Blue 2384.
    What do I do?

    Thanks but that is not the problem. I figured it out. You have to download Pantone Color Manager Software and use the serial number from your registered Pantone Plus book to register the software. Once you do that then you can download the extra 360 colors and then export them to the Adobe programs...
    Pain in the *** but it's the only way to get the extra colors in the Pantone plus book to your adobe Pantone Plus Library.The new Library is called Pantone+ V2.
    Thank you for the response though!

  • Problem exporting file with spot colors to pdf

    I have a book which I designed in InDesign CS3. It has 150 images in it which are Photoshop eps files: black line drawings with a spot color fill. InCS3, when I needed to send files back and forth to the publisher, the eps files came out fine in any pdf I made. Now in CS5.5, no matter what I do, only the spot color shows up in the images -- their black outlines won't show up. I'm sure it's got something to do with settings of some kind but I can't figure it out for the life of me. Help!

    I'm viewing the pdf in Acrobat Pro X. I do see that if I turn Flattener Preview on, I can see the whole image in a separate preview box, but that's not going to work very well when I send it to an editor who is technologically challenged. Is there not a way to ake the pdf behave the way it does if I make it from CS3, where the flattening shows in the pdf by default? As it is, this seems like a step backwards, unless of course, there's something I am missing.
