White lines around PNGs when exported to PDF

I am having the problem that imported images frequently have white bars around the outside of the image when the document is exported as a PDF. Looking at the two images currently affected I notice they are both PNG images. I fixed the image that was just rectangular in shape by just turning it into a JPEG as I did not require the use of transparency, but the second object is a different matter and I require the use of PNGs transparency. These lines are not present when in indesign normally.
The line is only noticable in one spot where a black rectangle meets the black background (only the top of the rectangle is visible against the black as one side is covered and the other side is out of the crop area) so I am not certain if this is the only spot it is occuring.
The line is not even a straight white line!
I have had this problem before with lines appearing around objects which should not be there, as well as objects not appearing as they do in inDesign, any advice for fixing this?

Ok guys I don't know what was wrong with my old TIFF image, but I swapped it out for a TIFF image which had a gradient fading from black to transparent as opposed to a straight black box and now the line is not there *shrug* it seems quite weird to me since I made sure the image was correct by cutting off the top segmant of the image where the trouble was.... but I dunno....
The exact same image in illustrator or photoshop showed up fine.. so I cannot understand what the problem was
EDIT: GAK!! its back on a new image I just put into the document same problem except it is on all sides of the black rectangle... *shakes fist* bah I will put another bloody gradient around the stupid thing....which by the way worked and the gradient was placed on the bottom layer so I dont see how it could be the image? I think this is proving that the problem is with acrobat (or saving from indesign) not the image...
NOTE: I would rather not post the files for various reasons

  • Why do I get white lines surrounding transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Vers

    Why do I get white lines surrounding PSD or Tiff transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Version 9.2?
    I recently upgraded creative suite - now I am having issues with white lines surrounding any tiffs or PSDs when exporting for print.
    I initially thought it was an acrobat viewer problem, but it seems to be effecting print. Please let me know if anyone knows the answer to this problem. thanks!

    PDF settings? Flattener settings? Overprint and trapping settings? You need to be much more specific. Eitehr way, ask in the ID forum.

  • Multi line hyperlinks problem when exporting to PDF

    I have a problem with hyperlinks i multiple lines when exporting a InCopy document to PDF. Its only the first line of the hyperlink that actually gets convertet to a link in the PDF file, the second line is just text.
    Is this a known problem and is there a fix or a workaround?
    We are using fully pached InCopy CS5 and Acrobat 9.

    Is there are a real hyperlink there or are you counting on Acrobat to convert it for you?

  • Dotted lines cutting off when exporting to PDF

    I have a document with horizontal lines that are set to 'dot'. When I export to PDF, the lines are missing dots. It's always the second dot from the left:
    Can anyone advise?

    Does this thread shed any light?
    Why are dots missing from PDF output?

  • White line below png when uploading to web??

    could anyone tell me how to get ride of this white line bellow this png image??
    cheers,
    sean

    Sean,
    Because your image is a link, it inherits underline property form other links.  There's nothing wrong with your image, but you need to create custom style for that image link, something like:
    <a style="border: medium none;" href="/"><img src="http://i57.tinypic.com/2ywxro5.png"></a>
    This is a quick try from Firebug add-on in Firefox.

  • Indesign CS4 adds square boxes around images when exporting to PDF

    When I export a brochure created in InDesign to PDF, for some reason the .pdf file (only the PDF - the InDesign version doesn't show these) shows faint squares around images/graphics that have shadow effects applied. These appear around photos, as well as graphic objects that have a solid colour background, for example an orange circle. Some suggested rasterizing images in Illustrator and that didn't help. Transparency doesn't seem to be at fault either. Would anyone have any idea what may be causing this and how to remedy the problem?
    FYI, the PDF export pre-sets in InDesign are as follows (I only mention options that are checked, the rest are turned off):
    COMPATIBILITY: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)
    GENERAL:
         HIGH QUALITY PRINT (modified)
         Export Layers:Visible & Printable Layers
    COMPRESSION:
         COLOR IMAGES:
         Bicubis Downsampling to 300 pixels per inch for images above 450 pixels per inch

    FYI - I use Mac OSX 10.5.8 and InDesign 6.0.3.
    I have attached the PDF for your review.
    With many thanks,
    Alex

    BTW, don't use OSX's preview to look at PDFs created by InDesign if they take advantage of high end features such as live transparency.
    Preview simply isn't up to the task and you should be using Acrobat or Reader.

  • Lines when exporting to PDF (in print)

    Hello,
    I have an indesign document with several transparent layers (light grey layers).
    They all show fine on screen, and print perfect here. But when sending it to the printshop I ran into some white hairlines.
    When exporting to PDF X/1a I get loads (transparency flattened), when exporting to PDF X/4 I do get a slight edge (in white) where the gradient transparency ends.
    I do believe this issue is at the printer end, but 'yes we use PDF' was the only input I got from them.
    Again, they print just fine on my home printer, but don't with the 'pro' printing company my company uses :s
    Any advice, besides exporting to tiffs on those pages?
    Thanks!

    I could paste the graphic with fade in photoshop and match the background.
    The think is, the front cover for example has more transparency and layers and prints just fine.
    Does stitching occur more on lighter objects and backgrounds?
    I obviously can't trust the printer we're using to handle the flattening so we'll have to use a workaround.
    Thanks

  • White lines around texts with object effects applied

    I am having a persistent problem with InDesign's output of PDFs when I have applied object effects to text boxes.
    When I use an effect—such as emboss (shown in samples) or outer glow—on a text box, the PDF renders it with white lines around the text boxes (sometimes with more than one).
    See the attached samples; the boxes are clearly visible with a 3rd party PDF viewer, such as Skim; less so with Acrobat Pro, but still there. It's there when I open the PDF in Photoshop, as well.
    I've tried playing with transparency flattening settings, and with merging the layers into a single layer. No help.
    The sample shown has an emboss effect applied, transparency flattening set to high resolution (ignoring style overrides), and a single merged layer.
    Any help?
    In Acrobat Pro:
    In Photoshop:
    In Skim:

    Thanks so much, Bob.
    My printer requires that I use the PDF/X-1a:2001 standard for PDF export, which means that it must be Acrobat 4 or later compatibility.
    Also: I don't see how to NOT flatten, when exporting PDF for print; the options for flattening are "low resolution," "medium resolution," or "high resolution"—but there is not an option to NOT flatten. Do you know a work-around for this?

  • After importing pictures they became grey with doted white line around

    I have imported pictures (RAW CR2 format) from my camera hundreds of times and they all went well. But this time the only the import worked well (I saw the preview when each picture was imported). Then Iphoto asked if i would like to delete the pictures on the camera after import. I deleted them. But then when I should take a look at the pictures they were grey with doted white lines around all of them. When I chose a picture and check the properties I can see that the pictures use normal space. I tried to drag one picture to a directory in the finder but this didn´t work either. The export doesn't work either. When I scroll fast among the pictures I can see them for a short period but when I stop scrolling they will turn grey with doted white line around. Whats wrong? and how to solve?
    system: iPhoto11 and Lion.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • White lines around a swatch in Illustrator

    Hi there,
    I need help with a swatch that I have created in illustrator. Once the swatch is applied as a fill there is a white line surrounding the original pattern. I have read other blog posts about the issue that state that the lines are just on screen and dissapear when you export as a PDF and when you print. I printed the design today at three different scales (100%, 40%, 20%) and all showed a white line but only on the horizontal axis. Both horizontal and vertical lines are visible when exported as a PDF. The original design is vector.
    Here is a screen shot of the design from my computer:
    Here is a photo of what the design looked printed (notice that the white lines are ony visible on the vertical axis):
    Can anyone shine any light on the issue or offer any solutions? If there are any other important details i have missed please let me know.
    Many thanks,
    Katherine

    Hi Jacob,
    I had already read on many a blog post that the issue could be only 'on screen' and that when printed it would dissapear. But when i printed not all lines dissapeared.Yes I think this may have been the case for the horizontal axis as when I printed it dissapeared (see second image on my initial post) but it still showed on the vertical axis.
    Thanks for your suggestion,
    Katherine

  • Background Colour Incorrect when exporting to PDF from Crystal Reports 2008

    Hello All
    When exporting to PDF from CR2008 the background colour of the crosstab is incorrectly displayed. The problem is as follows to create a crosstab with a grey header row and column details in white we have used the following trick.
    Format Cross Tab Border Background is set to Silver.
    Crosstab Expert Grand Total Background colour is set to white.
    The result is a crosstab with header in grey and details in white.
    This report displays correctly in CR2008, and exports as seen on screen to everything but PDF. When exporting to PDF the Crosstab is completely grey taking on only the Background colour of silver, and ignoring the Grand Total Background colour being set to white.
    What is strange that when I print to PDF the format is also displayed exactly as required,
    Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Some additional details.
    CR2008 version 12.3.1.683
    Adobe Reader version 9.3.3
    Windows XP Professional
    Thanks

    If this is a big issue for you then please purchase a case and a Rep can duplicate and escalate to R&D.
    As a work around export to Editable RTF and in Word 2007 you can get a PDF export plug-in and then export to PDF.
    Thank you

  • Problem with subscript and superscript in tables when exporting in .pdf

    When I put some words in superscript (or subscript) in a table, a bug occurs when exporting in pdf (whit export or print either). All the words in the cell after the subscript part disappear in the pdf version. The rest of the table or the document isn't affected. It's really strange and it has occured since I shifted for the 5 version of Pages...
    I've no idea what to do...

    It is a long standing bug in Pages 5.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • Any way to reduce the resolution when exporting to .pdf

    We are emailing reports.  On some reports with a large number of jpegs we are hitting a size limitation.  It would be helpful to reduce the resolution on the jpegs when exporting to .pdf.  Any way that would be possible?

    Hi,
    Need more info-
    VS version? or the developing application?
    CR Version? Are you directly emailing your reports from CR designer?
    Also once the image is fetched by the report, we can not make any changes in the image, as a work around you need to do required changes in the image before adding it to the reports, and as far as I know it is not possible through code, but we can wait for other responses though.
    Sincerely,
    Amit

  • Help!!  White line around image with placed in Illustrator from Photoshop, possible CMYK issue?

    I have a CMYK file, outlined product, that looks perfect in Photoshop.  When I place the image into Illustrator, it shows up with a thin white line around parts of the product (fyi - it shows up on a print as well). I have tried to place an RGB file and it does not have the white line around the product.    I assume it has something to do with it being CMYK, but I'm at a loss on how to fix this.  I'm desperate for any help.

    Okay, please refer this image and change the option within Ai General preferences. Uncheck the option Anti-Aliased artwork.

  • White line around image

    Hi everyone,
    I keep getting a white line appear around images I save in
    Photoshop and then insert into Dreamweaver. It happens when I also
    save text with a transparent background. The text has a very faint
    white line around it. Why is this?

    Where are you seeing this, in PS? or DW design view or in a
    browser?
    When you insert your pics in an HTML page with 0 border, do
    you still see
    the border?
    This is not a graphics forum. Adobe has a PS forum at
