Photoshop Images on illustrator, generate bad PDF Files !

When editing a native illustrator file with linked photoshop images on layers (cuts, paths with transparent background), and we generate a PDF file from any version since 1.4, we got the cuts and /or paths marked with a stroke (line) between the image and the background.
If we generate this file on version 1.3, this problem do not appear, but the images comes completely fragmented, what makes later edition impossible.

1. Please show screenshots
2. A PDF is not meant for editing. If you want to edit later, either save an AI file on top or save the PDF with Illustrator editing capabilities (this embeds a fully editable AI file into the PDF, of course making it bigger)
3. in a PDF 1.3 every transparency gets flattened which causes the fragmentation. Read the documentation on transparency, you'll need it anyway. There's a PDF called
A Designer's Guide to Transparency for Print Output
4. PDF version has to be selected carefully depending only on the demands of whoever prints or displays it afterwards.

How to preserve a background color, when generating a PDF file

I am trying to create a PDF file from some application. Please note that the picture in this application has the black background. So I invoke a Print command and set a printer as "Adobe PDF". As a result, I have generated
a brilliant PDF file of my picture, but on the WHITE background. When selecting the Adobe PDF printer, I have looked through all its settings ( in the Adobe PDF settings, I have found several tabs: General, Images, Fonts, Color, Advanced, PDF/X), none of them generated the original background color.
So how can a generate a PDF file, having the original background color (black, in my case) ?
Oleg

Now I feel that the background definition in the Adobe PDF printer and the background definition in the application the Adobe PDF printer is invoked from -- two different things. So I guess how can I define the black background in the Adobe PDF printer? I cannot find such settings.

Question about placing Photoshop images in Illustrator

Hi
Someone asked me for advice because they are trying to place a Photoshop image in Illustrator.
Is this a good idea?
It's unknown whether they are trying to Livetrace the image, Or just leave it sittin' pretty, so they can sketch around it and have it visible as a "placed" image before they export it to InDesign.
I don't think that they want to live trace it, i think they just want to put the image there so they can see it as they work.
What are the options?
Can these photoshop items in Ai become linked like they do in InDesign without any problems?
From what i hear it is not a good idea to "place" Photoshop images in illustrator, without live tracing them, because everything in Ai needs to be vector anyway.
thanks for any advice

>havent you noticed that whenever you live trace and expand a color image, it becomes thousands (sometimes tens of thousands) of separate vectors and consequently becomes very hard to move and work with?
Which is a very good reason not to do that.
>How do you just place the image in illustrator as sort of a placeholder image or linked image (non embedded) and work with it quickly as part of an Ai sketch, without needing to vectorize everything upfront? (by that i mean live trace/ expand
File> Place. Done.
>I've never seen someone trying to use raster images in Ai like it was a normal everyday thing.
You need to get out of the house more. It is done all the time.

Parameter issue - report not generating any pdf files

Hi All,
I'm trying to run a report which generates pdf files. Is there any limitation on the parameter string size? For one of the parameter values - '11F EA Accept nonhonor ASnSOMnSON_20091201090150846' the report is not generating any pdf files. I assumed the reason is of the keyword 'AS' in it and created another parameter value - '11F EA Accept nonhonor AnS-SOM-SON_20091202074331997', but it is also not generating any pdf files. I get this message from Adobe Reader " There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be opened because it has no pages. " The report is working normally when i hardcode the same parameter values into the logic. Any suggestions on this?
Thanks.

Tim,
That report is working normally for all the parameter values, except this one. It is not working only if i pass the value - ''11F EA Accept nonhonor ASnSOMnSON_20091201090150846' as a parameter. It is generating the pdf files when i hardcode the same value into sql query logic in the data template, instead of passing it as a parameter. Please advise.
Thanks.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

How to generate a pdf file

hi i want to generate a pdf file using a java program, i have a string of xml format i want read the string and get each node of the string then
pass it to generate pdf.how to do this, the problem is if i want to read
xml then i must use org.w3c.dom.Element, but for pdf generation i must use com.lowagie.text.Element , so how to solve this.
please help.
rafel

Well, obviously XML and PDF are two very different kinds of format, and it's up to you how one is going to be mapped into the other. There are at least two PDF APIs available free, but it's not a trivial format to manage.
It's impossible to give you any more advice with the limited information you've supplied.
