No crop mark option when saving as PDF in CS4

I am using photoshop CS4 on a PC.
When saving as a PDF on the left hand side option list there is no crop mark/ trim option available (listed with output, compression etc).
When saving as a PDF via the print option the image loses its high res dpi so this method is not an option.
Any suggestions to how i can get the trim mark option when "saving as PDF"?
Thanks :-)

Crop mark issue when placing and PDF in Indesign

I've just had this strange issue that I can't figure out and I'm not sure if anyone else has had it as well.
I exported a PDF through InDesign with crop marks. I then placed the PDF in Indesign and for some reason the bleed and the crop marks don't
show up! I've never had this issue with Indesign before.
Is it even InDesign, or is it the PDF itself?

Crop Marks don't appear in pdf (Illustrator CS4)

Hi everyone,
I've used the crop marks command (under the effects menu) on a rectangle that is the size of the artboard. I then created a pdf of the document and made sure there was enough bleed to encompass these crop marks, ie. 20mm all round. When I open up the pdf though no crop marks appear.
Can someone tell me why this is happening?
Appreciate any help.

It does do that but it should not show the bleeds as a part of the document it should the document size should be differentiated from the bleed and crop and printer marks area.
You should be able to turn them off for better review purpose with clients and the thing that Acrobat does automatically is to fit the document to the paper size. This I think is a mistake as the ordinary user might not understand what is happening.
If you want to print the document at a 100% it has to go on a paper and to a print that prints documents of a larger size.
It should be clearer as we have reach a point in time where there are most users who have no old world experience with the printing press and plate making so many will not get this true once pointed out it will appear to them as a no brainer.
Also with Acrobat becoming a presentation and conferencing tool for client review in a very live way the ability to turn the bleeds and marks off with a click is very necessary especially hen you have a dead head executive on the other end saying that they never approved that design feature. You can then just click hide the crops or pint out that those marks are outside the documents page size and won't print.
No matter how much sense it makes to you and me because we are very experience with this there will always be people outside our profession that will have a hard time with this and many within our profession as well.
I was aware this was finally included in CS4 but I think it can be improved admittedly you can send a copy of the pdf without bleeds and marks. But you have no control over what they might do on the other side and i have seen some pretty stupid things.
In th old days you know the account exec would come into the art dept and pick the comp off of your drawing table and take his finger and run it over the art and ask is this wet?
I guess I don't have to tell anyone the answer to that question.

How to keep crop marks when saving as PDF

In Illustrator CS5, I have some artwork which has 3mm bleeds all around. The printing shop requires me to provide the artwork with the bleed and also the crop marks showing as well in PDF format. But whenever I save as PDF, Illustrator doesn't show the crop marks I have made. I've tried selecting print trim marks in the save as dialog boxes, but this only puts marks right at the edges, after the bleed areas, making the trimming marks incorrectly placed. I'm pulling my hair out!! Please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance!!
Joe

That didn't work for me. In fact, the only way I could get it correctly was to enlarge my artwork to extend over the artboard and then when saving as PDF to tick the printer trim marks boxes. Not as easy or straightforward as with a crop mark, but it seems to be working now.
Thanks anyway for all your input!

When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF?

When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF? Currently when I have a Framemaker book that I want to save as a PDF, I choose Save Book As and then choose PDF for the file format. A dialog box comes up in which I can choose the Bookmarks tab and choose which tagged content I want to be made into bookmarks in the PDF file. What if I would rather have the filename of a document rather than the chapter title be a bookmark in the PDF? Is that possible? Where would I choose that option? Thanks!

There are two ways that you could do this. You can either use postscript text frames and enter the correct pdfmark entries to show the file name with the corresponding actions (i.e. where to go in the PDF) or you can use hidden text in FM and the "Filename (Short) " variable in a unique paratag to be picked up by FM's bookmark creation.
To go the pdfmark route, see http://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pdf/pdfmark_primer.pdf for details and also consult the Adobe Pdfmark Reference manual (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdfmark_reference.pdf).
The hidden text route would use FM's Color Views to specify a colour as Invisible. This will make the content visually disappear from the screen (and any output), but FM will still be able to read the contents of any text that is coloured with the Invisible colour(s).
1. Pick or create a colour that you want to be invisible. [Magenta is usually a good bet and stands out visually].
2. Set that colour to be invisible in View 1 and visible in View 6. [you can use the shortcut <esc> v 1 and <esc> v 6 to toggle between the views.]
3. Create a paratag to use for the filename and set the font colour to use the invisible colour.
3. In the title of each chapter file, drop an anchored frame that is set to be outside of the text frame [so it won't interfere with any other content].
4. In that AFrame, insert a text frame and use the invisible paratag defined in step 3.
5. Insert the Filename (Short) variable in that text frame.
6. Repeat steps for all files to be included in the bookmarks.
When creating the PDF bookmarks, select only the paratag used for the invisible colour.
Don't forget to toggle the View to be invisible (i.e. <esc> v 1 - this also works at the book level for all files in the book).

Resolution Issues in Jpeg Options when Saving

Hi, I am suddenly experiencing an issue when saving Jpeg files in photoshop CS4. I work on hundreds of files at a time. I open the Jpeg photo, edit it and when ready hit 'save' and 'return' to accept the settings which are usually set by default to 12. But recently Photoshop is randomly selecting a lower compression in the Jpeg options when saving. It is only on a few random images though. If I open the original, re-edit the image and save it again, then it usually saves at 12 on the second attempt which is even more strange... Can I lock the settings to by default save all files at level 12 to avoid having to re-edit the shots I happen to miss spotting the change in compression on?
And doesn anyone know what would prompt photoshop to suddenly save certain images in a lower res automatically? I am wasting hours re-editing and double checking files which is very frustrating. Please help!!
Thank you in advance for any asdvice.

Hi Mark, thanks for your reply but the images I'm working on are all shot with the same settings and exported out of iPhoto with the same settings before imported into Photoshop for editing. So they haven't yet been saved in Photoshop. My problem is when I save the file after editing, photoshop is automatically selecting 0 Jpeg image quality rather than 12, which is what it generally selects, except now on these few select images? It's all a bit bizarre because I have used this method for 4 years and now all of a sudden I am having this problem. I assumed I had hit a shortcut somewhere and adjusted the parameters unintentionally. It's rather hard to explain but I hope that makes more sense. Thanks again to anyone who can help, I'm deseperate to get to the bottom of this....

Error message when saving a PDF to PNG: Error attempting to write file.

Adobe Acrobat XI Standard

I have this issue too, but my colleagues do not have this issue(we have same Acrobat Pro 11.0.09). I am sure this issue happens only you updated to 11.0.09, because when you use Windows Restore back to 11.0.08, no issues.

When saving a pdf the objects on the page appear offset of the page boundries.

This happens mostly in illustrator but it just happened again to me while printing a .ps booklet out of indesign and converting to a pdf using distiller.
See the image below:
The left shows my InDesign Document. On the right is the pdf that results from the save. As you can see the page boundaries are being completely disregarded when saving the pdf and everything is equally shifted down and to the right.
Here is an example of me having the same problem in illustrator:
As you can see there is sometimes zero correlation between what is on the artboard and what page the objects end up on in the pdf.
This problem also has another strange symptom, it seems to have to do with dragging images from firefox onto an artboard in illustrator. The image is place automatically in the center and all objects in the file move together in one direction. see before and after photos below:
Before:
After image dragged in:
You can even continue to drag images in and it will move in the same direction the same amount every time:
I'm running Adobe CS6 on OSX 10.9.1.
Thanks in advance!

In so many words: We can't know. You have not provided any details about your exact settings, what version of Acrobat, your placed images, color settings, color profiles and a million other things including perhaps providing your test fioles for inspection by other people. That aside simply ask in teh relevant ID/ AI/ Acro/ PDF forums. This place here is a dead place and only meant for general sales, install and activation questions, not specific workflow questions.

Gaps in-between livepaint shapes when saving to PDF

Im using CS6 and when saving to PDF my live paint objects have a slight gap inbetween the shapes in the live paint object. They do not appeare in the illustrator file or when saved as jpeg, png, etc only PDFs. I have been using Illustrator for a couple years now and this has not happened in previous versions I've worked with (CS3, 4, and 5)
Thanks

You may be able get rid of them by changing your acrobat settings such as turn off smooth line art.

Incorrectly coloured text when saving to .PDF using Photoshop CS4

I am using Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7, and have designed my own business card.
When saving to .PDF to send to printers I am finding that a small section of text is saving with a white section to it, for example out of the 3 lines of text on the card the bottom left hand corner of the & sign I have in the design is coming out white, the rest of the text is a golden colour.
I have tried searching on this forum and on google but can't seem to find anyone with my actual problem so unsure where to go.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Well, you could change the native text color instead of using layer styles, could you not?

Or make the Type and Hyphen layers into a single Smart Object and clip a yellow layer to it.

CS4 - Missing buttons in dialog when saving as pdf

Hi Folks,
I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this problem, or perhaps it's just an issue with my installation. I get occassional strange issues when saving as pdf, though i think it happens in other cases too. In the dialog (after choosing the file name and clicking save), some of the buttons are missing (see attached file). The title bar is also sometimes missing the title, but in the attached file it isn't. Alt-tab functionality in windows is impaired when this is happening, I can't launch ctrl-alt-del, etc. Lots and lots of strange issues until i manage to kill illustrator and start again.
This doesn't only happen when i'm trying to save as pdf - sometimes it happens upon launch of illustrator.
anyone else have these crazy issues, or just me?

Thanks for your reply. I actually don't think the problem has anything to do with actually saving as a pdf per se, since it happens in other situations too. You'll notice that the Save buttons at the bottom were missing in the first image i posted. I'm posting another image of how the dialog *should* look.
Remember, there are also a myriad of other problems that come along when this happens, indicating a bad interaction with Windows somehow. Alt-tab functionality is messed up, i can't use ctrl-alt-del, i can't close the program, etc.

When saving to PDF in Preview . . .

When saving to PDF in Preview, how can I eliminate the borders that are automatically added? Thanks.

Here's the screenshot. Note the white border. Another party has pointed out that the way to fix it is to create a custom paper size (Print Dialog --> Paper size --> Manage custom sizes --> set up a custom 8.5 x 11 page with zero borders all around.). It works! H/T to Kirk Slowe.

Fully embed fonts when saving as PDF

Hi,
I am saving an Illustrator file as PDF and in the Save As PDF settings dialogue pages, no matter what I do regarding fonts, the final PDF file always outlines some of the fonts instead of embedding it.
(I tried various settings for "Subset fonts when percent of characters used is less than XX%" including 0%, 1%, or 100%, it didn't make any difference)
Is there a way to force Illustrator into embedding fonts when saving as PDF?
Thanks.

Monkia/Steve,
I followed up on another thread and it turned out this one joins the discussion there.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/6246758#6246758
I made some additional tests and we concluded there that Save As PDF and Print to PDF from Illustrator do not work the same way. It doesn't solve my problem but it certainly helps move in the right direction...
