Preview displays pdfs with distorted colours and thin white line on the border

Preview Version 7.0 (826.4) on 10.9.5 displays pdfs with cmyk images in it in distorted colours and thin white line on the border of the page despite in the original .indd file the image runs into bleed. The display errors aren't present in acrobat reader 10.1.12 or acrobat pro 9.3.4. Any idea? Thanks

Brushes have pixelated edge: when filled with color there's a white line at the border

Hello,
I'm trying to make geometric shapes that are black outlines filled with color. I'm drawing the shapes with the pen tool. When I fill them using the bucket tool, there's a pixellated white line separating the black outline and the color infill. How to do make the color fill directly to the black outline?
Thanks for your help,

In addition to Chris's post wanted to advise you that stroke effects in Phothsop have rounded edges in Phothoshop. You will notice this on thin strokes (eg: 1 pxl).
Set the stroke to go on inside for squared edges, not center or outside. Adobe has been aware of this since CS, but has not been find a solution for Photoshop to handle this.

Random thin white line at the bottom of my picture

Okay i have 344 pictures in total on my iphone 4s that i synced from my computer, the problem is some of the pictures have this very thin white line at the very bottom of the picture but when you click the button edit the white line just dissapears or if you set it as background the white line is gone and sometimes by it self the white line dissapears then later on reappears. Is this a software or hardware issue and how do you fix it?
Oh also when i shut my phone off then on the pictures that have white line at bottom doesn't have it anymore then later on it just randomly re appears and i know the pictures isn't suppose to have a thin white line at the bottom because on my computer when i open it its not there.
So please if anyone know if this is a software or hardware problem and how do i fix it thank you .

So you only see it in QT Fullscreen mode?
The reason I'm pressing this is that I've seen green lines LIKE this with issues resulting from what seems like a very hot video card.
Usually they 1) aren't that crisp and 2) don't always show up each time you view it.
And this is AFTER compression, yes? For sure this isn't on the original material? Make sure you set your canvas in FCP to 100% size to see all of the lines.

C309g Scanned files are saved as thick black lines and thin white lines

Hi there,
I am able to scan the documents and see them briefly in the HPScan software but once I have saved them (.pdf or .jpeg) and tried to open them in any application, all I get is a file that consists of thick black lines spaced out with thin white lines. Therefore whatever I scan is useless as it cannot be viewed in any way.
I am running Mac OSX Mavericks and have run all the updates and installed the latest drivers. Originally I was unable to save anything but after perfroming the updates I was able to save the scans but it triggered the black and white lines. The printer is connected to a network via Ethernet.
I tried scanning a blank white page but the output file is the same with the black and white lines.
Please help.

Preview displays PDF with "COPY" written across each page

Canon's saving money by no longer including the User Guide with some of their camera's such as the Canon A1100 IS:
If I go to the canon site:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=183&mo delid=18138#DownloadDetailAct
... I can download the User Guide as a PDF from here:
http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/6/0300001856/01/PSA1100ISCUGEN.pdf
In Preview 5.0.1 (503), every page of the manual has the word "COPY" written across every page, which interferes with legibility.
If I open the same PSA1100ISCUGEN.pdf file in Acrobat Pro 9, then the word "COPY" is no longer displayed.
However if I go to print the manual from Acrobat Pro 9, then the preview in the Print Dialog shows the word "COPY" across each page to be printed.
So whether I use OS X's Preview.app, or Acrobat Pro 9, they both share the same printing subsystem which wants to print "COPY" across every page.
BTW Preview.app's "Show Inspector" identifies the Canon User Guide as protected, but with Printing privileges.
Any guidance on how to print the Canon User Guide without the word "COPY" across every page? Any thoughts on why Preview.app displays the word "COPY" onscreen, while Adobe Acrobat 9 does not? Any thoughts on whether there's a way around the common OS X printing subsystem that both sit on, wanting to print "COPY" across every page?
PS. I'm using an Canon IP5000 ink jet, but the behavior seems the same if I'm pointing to my office's Kyocera Postscript printer.

Search for the manual on the european site http://canon-europe.com/ - the versions there (at least for the A1100 IS) do not have the annoying COPY watermark.
The direct link for the A1100 IS manual is http://files.canon-europe.com/files/soft32765/manual/PSA1100isCUGEN.pdf

I have a 17" Macbook pro with flickering red and cyan(blue) lines across the screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem.

I purchased my Macbook (17") through a certified apple tecnition in August 2012, it was refurbished and the motherboard was completely replaced. I do a lot of photo editing, but I have been unable to do so because of the red vibrating lines that interrupt my screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem. I brought the computer back to the technition I purchased it from and he said that it was a problem with my fan, so I have two new fans but the issue is still occuring. He says he doesnt know whats wrong. Does anyone have any information on this issue?
Here is an image of the issue
http://www.flickr.com/photos/67839707@N08/8884847081/

I recommend having your Mac serviced by someone competent. A force sufficient to "blow apart" the fans was clearly excessive and may have damaged the display cable, as well as any number of other problems.
Dust is properly cleaned with a vacuum, preferably one designed for computer service, and they are not cheap.
Compressed air should never be used. It just blows dust everywhere, often into places where it can no longer be removed.

Thin white line between line art and live paint fill?

I am using live paint to paint cartoon character illustrations. The artwork is brought into Illustrator CS3 and live traced. Then I convert it to a live paint group and use the paint bucket to fill. Everything looks fine no matter how much I zoom in. If I bring the AI file into Photoshop CS6 I can see a thin white line between the black line art and the fill. This is most noticeable where black meets black. I can also see this sometimes in file previews while browsing through files. If the white line cannot be seen in Illustrator is the file ok? I did just upgrade to CS6 if that would make a difference.
Thank you for any help.

If the white line cannot be seen in Illustrator is the file ok?
Without knowing specifics,nobody knows.
"Okay" for what?
If it looks okay to you in Illustrator, then it's okay for viewing in Illustrator.
If the export of it does not look okay in Photoshop at 1:1 or higher zoom, then it's probably not okay for whatever you're going to do with that raster image.
If it's printed to a low-res composite printer, then it may be okay, because the printer may not be able to resolve the whitish pixels.
If it's printed for commercial (color-separated) reproduction, it may not be okay, depending on the scale at which it will be printed, and on other considerations partially described below.
The autotrace routine does not build traps. Typically, when you color-fill cartoon line art manually, you don't make the shapes that define the fills merely "kiss" the black line work, as would the default treatments of a stupid autotrace. The black line work typically overprints the fills, thereby creating printing traps.
Suppose a portion of your cartoon is a hand-drawn closed circle. The black line work is irregular; it varies in width, having been drawn with a marker or a brush. The circle is colored in with a medium green. There are no sloppy gaps in the original between the green and the black.
You scan it and autotrace it. Unless you apply some deliberate care to make it do otherwise, the autotrace is going to create a compound path, filled with black, and with no stroke; and a green simple path which (hopefully) exactly "kisses" (abuts) the black path. Adobe's on-screen antialiasing of the edge where the two colors abut may or may not cause your monitor to display a faint whitish or grayish sliver between the two colors.
Similarly, Photoshop's rasterization of it, or the rasterization of a raster export filter may do the same, and may actually result in some off-color pixels along the edge. (Your description of the scenario kinda raises the question of why you are auto-tracing something that you're then just going to rasterize in Photoshop anyway. Why do that? Why not just work with the scan in Photoshop?.)
So let's leave Photoshop out of the picture and assume you are autotracing it because you want vector artwork. You zoom way in to see if the whitish sliver enlarges. It doesn't, so you assume it's just an aberation of Illustrator's on-screen antialising. And then someone tells you you're in the clear. But are you? Not so fast.
Let's assume the artwork is destined for commercial (color-separated) printing. Further assume the color of the autotraced black is 100% K, and the color of the autotraced green is 100Y 50C. Three inks involved. None of those three inks are shared between the two objects. So even if the paths do, in fact, perfectly abut, there is no "wiggle room" built in for the minor alignment shifts that almost aways do occur on press.
Bottom line: Even if you do determine that the common antialiasing aberations that frequently occur on-screen in Adobe apps is just that—just an onscreen aberation, that does not necessarily mean your file is suitable for commercial color-separated reproduction.
First, you need to understand that autotracing is not the one-click, instant "conversion" of a raster image to vector artwork that far too many think it to be. Just like everything else, you don't just launch a program like Illustrator, start autotracing things willy-nilly without understanding what's really going on. Just like anyting else, you can use an autotrace feature intelligently or...well...not.
You have options. Illustrator provides an auto-trapping feature. Read up on it in the documentation so you understand what it's all about. Alternatively, you can expand the results of your autotrace, select all the black linework and apply a composite color that includes 100% K and reasonable percentages of C, M, and Y (a so-called "rich black"). Or,depending on the artwork and the desired results, you may consider doing the autotrace as centerlines so you have stroked paths, not just filled paths for the linework. That way, using the flood fill (so called LivePaint) will cause the auto-created fill objects to extend to the paths, not just to the edges of their strokes. Then set the linework to overprint.
At any rate, if you are doing this professionally, you need to read up on the principles and practices of trapping and color separation.

Thin white line

I was going to post this in a related thread, but that one has been hijacked by an argument about language, so...
I've had my new MacBook Pro for two weeks and the display is a bit grainy and has a slight backlight leak in the bottom left-hand corner but both of these were OK.
Now, suddenly, it's developed a thin white line at the top of the screen, at the same position as the edge of the top menu bar, almost like the edge of the menu bar has "burned in" to the screen - you see it very clearly when you start up or shut down the machine and the screen has a completely blank grey or blue background.
My questions are:
- Is anybody else seeing this?
- I think I'm "just" over two weeks since getting this machine, so should I try for a replacment or should I just submit it for repair. Apart from a squeaky spacebar key, all is working fine, so I don't know which is the greater gamble.
Any comments would be appreciate, thanks.

Mine had the same problem - a thin white line after some use. I returned it as soon as I discovered.
It was also grainy, the was no white in the screen, bright sand would be more appropriate

Officejet 7410 All-in-One photo printing thin white lines

I haven't had this problem before.
First, I had 2 thin white lines near the left edge of the paper -- 1st, 1 1/4 inches from left edge; 2d, 2 1/2 inches from left edge. I cleaned the cartridges automatically.
Then, I had only one thin white line, 1 1/4 inches from left edge. I am loathe to try the automatic cleaning again because I'm using a LOT of color ink on this photo.
I need to know whether it will help to: 1) clean automatically again,
2) clean the cartridges by hand with filtered water, or
3) is there some other solution? (What is it?)

Are the lines across the short length of the paper or the long length? ("Left" side means different things if you are printing in portrait or landscape.)
If the lines are along the long axis of the paper it may be caused by aerosol fogging of the encoder strip. In this case you could clean the encoder strip as described in this post. Do not clean the encoder if the lines run across the page in the short direction (the way the printhead moves). If you do need to clean the encoder heed the warnings, the encoder is fragile and can be damaged by rough handling or aggressive cleaning.

Open PDF 1.3 in Photoshop CS6 - White lines

Hello
I'm working as a Typograf. I've a problem with the new Photoshop CS6 and flattened PDF 1.3
After opening the PDF File in Photoshop we see white lines. The page is cut in many tiles.
The same PDF open in Photoshop CS5.1 the white lines are not here.
Is this a bug in CS6 or are there some Preferences to change on my CS6?
Any ideas? Thank you.
Greetings

My Problem are about the transparent flattening lines...

Thin White Lines above Buttons

On my published page, there are thin white lines at the tops of some of my hyperlink buttons & not others. iWeb doesn't show these lines, they appear to be added during publication.
Come see: http://web.mac.com/tarpitboss
They appear to be used as photo delimiters or ? They are ok added above some images but not these, & why on some of mine & not others??
How do I turn them OFF?

I was looking for what caused this in the forums and I guess I just don't know what to search for
I know one solution is to change the size of the problem .jpg's by one pixel on each side and it should render as a .png as your text is. This would solve the look, but I'd imagine if you made the decision to have them as .jpg's you'd probably like to keep them that way. Perhaps someone else has a solution to keep them as .jpg's.

Problem with Thin White Line in PDF

I am encountering an appearance issue in a pdf created from a FrameMaker 11 file, using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and Adobe Acrobat Distiller X. The pdf displays a table that has black lines running vertically between every other column. In the column in between these lines, there appears to be a thin white line displaying. If I enlarge the pdf to 200%, the white line disappers. I right-clicked on the pdf and in the menu under "Page Display Preferences ...", I chose "Page Display" under the "Categories" column and then "Rendering". I then iuncheck the "Enhance thin lines" feature and this removes the thin line from the pdf. However, if I process another pdf for a different FrameMaker 11 file, the "Enhance thin lines" feature is unchecked and this affects the appearance of these other pdfs. Consequently, I need to reselect the "Enhance thin lines" feature in order to process these pdfs. However, if I reselect this, I'm noticing that when I open the pdf that has the thin line issue, the thin line is visible and the "Enhance thin lines" feature is selected. Is there a way to adjust this, so that the "Enhance thin lines" feature is removed for only this one pdf, but is selected for the other pdfs?

I think you are seeing Stitching Lines. If you can zoom in and the width does not change, they likely stitching lines. (Any actual content should scale proportionate)
Do a search for the term .
Stitching Lines are an on screen artifact which do not print (on high resolution ouput) caused by transparency flattening. You use of Distiller joboption probably invokes flattening.
Enhance Thin Lines is a local preference of Acrobat. I doubt it could be retained in a file.
