Who's in charge of pdf export: Dialog box or Color settings?

Bridge has synchronized the color settings of all of my apps. But, I needed to export a pdf which uses different color settings. When I try to do so, I get this warning:
The preset specifies source profiles that don't match the color settings file. Profiles specified by the color settings file will be used.
So, who's in charge here? Why should a set of defaults override the specifics of this export? How do I get to be in charge?
Thanks,
Gary

If you prepared the file for one print destination and the doc is going to different destination, you want to change the Destination Profile in the Advanced tab to the new CMYK profile and leave your document profile (source profile) alone.
You shouldn't have any problem doing this at least in CS2 or 3. Just keep in mind the PDF will have new CMYK values, which would happen with any CMYK to CMYK conversion.
If you are sending the file to a new destination and you don't want CMYK conversions, you have to assign new profiles to the document and that can't be done via PDF export, which makes sense because assigning a new profile may change the appearance of any document CMYK colors and you might want to make adjustments to those colors before exporting.
Also, keep in mind if you are using the default Color Settings where the CMYK Policy is Preserve Embedded profiles, a CMYK profile is assigned to your document when it is made. In that case changing your color settings via Bridge has no effect on that particular document because it is the assigned profile which color manages not the new working space set in Color Settings. To change a document's assigned profile you have to use Edit>Assign Profiles... not Bridge.

  • Set location of print and export dialog boxes?

    Is there any way to set the location of the print and export dialog boxes in the viewer?
    To say, have the dialog box show up in the top left corner instead of in the middle of the document?

    There's no easy way to customize that for the viewer.
    Some people make the toolbar invisible and write their own controls.

  • Indd CS4 save/export Dialog Boxes are so small :(

    I have a 24" iMac and now have installed Indesign CS4. The save/place/export dialog boxes are so small. I have dragged them larger and that is great.
    But it does not stay that way across the program or even the same document...
    I don't know if I did something different on CS3 but once I set it, it seemed to always remember the setting even on new documents.

    I can't help but I can confirm I'm getting the same problems in the CS4 apps, not just InDesign (with Leopard 10.5.5). I hope a fix for this comes out eventually. As Mike says, it happens with Save, Save As, Print To Postscript etc so I encounter it at least a hundred times a day. Very frustrating.

  • Having a little trouble with the "export" dialog box

    Hi all,
    When I get to the export dialog box, I'm not able to type directly in the "Custom Name" space.  I have to click around and fiddle with some of the drop-down menus (and then get back to the "name format" that I like) and only then can I triple-click or backspace on the former name and input a new name in the "Custom Name" blank.
    Also, the "Export Versions" tab is highlighted, but hitting the "return" key doesn't make the export happen.  I have to mouse up to that button and click it that way.
    Is anyone else having any trouble with inputting information on the export page?  And ideas?
    Thanks as always.

    Yes, the name format is Custom Name with Index.  But when I click in the field, I can't edit it.
    Mark,
    For me, this preset is working well. Have you checked, if the preset for  "Custom Name with Index" correct?  You can verify it, by setting the "File Naming" format to "Edit". The preset should look like this:
    I'd try to edit the preset, save it, and edit it back, to create a new preset file.
    If that does not help, remove the user Aperture User Preferences, as described in this document:  Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
    And as I said, hitting "return" doesn't start the export.
    That also your "Export" button is not responding to return, even if it is highlighted in blue, is a sign, that your preferences file might have a problem.

  • InDesign CS2 & Leopard: Place & Export dialog box areas cutoff

    I am having severe problems with InDesign CS2 and Leopard, and before anyone says "upgrade to CS3", we can't.
    Almost every time I go to place a graphic or export a PDF, the system hangs for a few seconds with the wheel spinning, then InDesign just quits.
    I also notice that part of the dialog boxes get cut off near the top.
    Anyone have similar problems?

    Even upgrading won't eliminate all the Leopard incompatibilities. If you
    upgraded to Leopard from Tiger the best advice is to go back.
    Have a look around this forum and the Creative Suite forum for plenty of
    conversation.

  • CS3  Design Premium Save As/Export Dialog Boxes Hidden

    I posted this originally on the InDesign forum
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b652e3
    - since then, the problem seems to have expanded to the rest of the programs in the CS3 (or it was already existent and I didn't bother testing against it).
    Original Post
    'i"Every time I try to save, export, save as, or (recently) even open a new document now, the dialog box opens with the various options for a split second and then disappears. I think it disappears behind InDesign, but cannot be sure as InDesign will not minimize, even when I Force Minimize everything (Windows-H).
    'iSearched the forums high and low, and tried all of the suggested solutions. I'm on a single-monitor setup. I have reset preferences, deleted/drug out the Documents and Settings InDesign 5.0 Preferences Folder, re started etc. At my whit's end and don't really know what else to do. Are there any other fixes?"
    I know for a fact that Photoshop at least was working fine yesterday (created, saved and saved as multiple layered tiffs). I cannot remember if Version Cue updated just before I left or if I could properly create, save, and save-as then too and it was only after turning it off and returning this morning that it stopped working. Either way, any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Zach

    Okay, awesome! I did that and now the Open dialog box is showing - none of the others are though - does this mean that I'll need to go to each of my dialog boxes missing (save, save as) etc., resize in pshop to use correctly in InDesign? What do I do for the dialog boxes that are in InDesign and aren't showing, but are not in Photoshop (ala "Open New Library" or "Open New Book?")
    Thanks a lot for your help.

  • Limiting Export Types in Export Dialog Box

    We'd like to only allow XLS Format for a specific report when displaying a Crystal Report on a WebPage via Visual Studio;
    We run Crystal Reports 2008 and also post on Business Objects so the users can access via Infoview.
    the only thing I've found is a hack to change the underlying Java code for Crystal that would affect all the reports... and some other thing for Visual Studio that doesn't work as it is for prior versions of Crystal.  Please advise how we go about allowing the end-users to have the option of exporting to only one FileType (XLS) for only one specific report.

    In Cr for VS 2010 you can use this to control the export types allowed when viewed:

  • Keyboard nonresponsive in mp4 export dialoge box

    Hi,
    When I go to export an MP4 file, the keyboard doesn't do anything at the MP4 export box (I can't type new numbers in). I can click and select the values and such but pressing buttons on the keyboard doesn't do anything. Esc and enter do nothing as well. Has anyone heard of this before? I need to change the values in the boxes for different export settings.

    Hello, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

  • PDF Export - How do I resample images for 25% print?

    Using OSX 10.6 and CS3 504.
    I've built 6x large format pages at 1885mm x 600mm that will be printed on an HP5500.  Content includes text, images, and objects with fills/strokes etc.  All images have been resampled in Photoshop to produce an effective resolution of around 150dpi for printing at full size.
    My printer is going to do a test print for me, at 25% final size.  He has asked for images to be no less than 100dpi for 100% output.  He has asked for Generic CMYK so I'm using the PDFx1a2001 preset.
    As recommended on here in a previous thread, I've placed each of 6x pages of the 100% PDF (75mb) into a new document and scaled each down to 25%.
    I then export to PDFx1a2001 again, and the resulting PDF is 45mb.
    My question is, how do I give him the most efficient file that will:
    take ages to transfer to him
    not be too large for him to process
    give me good enough quality to see how things look.
    Do I need to change the resample numbers in the PDF export dialog?  Or should this be OK?
    Many thanks.

    You can print the original PDF to a PostScript file at 25% and run it through Distiller if you have it. But I would just export a 100% file with images at 25 ppi and have the printer scale down when printing.

  • Save dialog box for text and pdf files

    Hi,
    I am using CRM UI framework for developing my components.
    Currently i have a hyperlink for a file. On click of the hyperlink i want the Save dialog box to appear with SAVE/OPEN/CANCEL options. For Word/Excel/PPT files, dialog box appears. However for txt/PDF files, dialog box does not appear.
    URL looks like the following:

    Could you please help me to resolve this issue?
    Regards,

    First of all, you need an app on the iPad that can read those files that you want to transfer. Adobe Reader and iBooks are two free apps that will read PDF files. Adobe Reader is much more robust than iBooks as it offers so many more features like renaming files, creating folders, annotating, highlights, etc.
    Download Adobe Reader in the App Store. Then read this about file sharing with iTunes.
    iOS: About File Sharing - Support - Apple
    There are other ways to get files to the iPad, like email, DropBox and some other apps that let you mount your iPad like a flash drive.
    This should be helpful as well.

  • Keynote PDF Export and Color Profile

    I have some color trouble with the pdf-exports of keynote: the color that is shown in the pdf does not correpond with the one in the keynote file. The pdf has more ”milky” colors. Maybe it is a color profile thing. But what profile doese keynote use for the screen? Or does it convert rgb-colors to cmyk? Anyway, how to sync exactly keynote and pdf colors for screen presentations?

    There are a few things you can try:
    In the PDF export box there is an Image Quality dropdown, where you can choose Good, Better or Best. Which are you using?
    Alternatively you can just output the file as a PDF using the Print function. Your profile says you are using Mac OS X 10.4 in which case, in the print window click on the PDF button and choose Compress PDF to output a smaller file.
    If you have since moved up to 10.5, this option is no longer available by default, but there is an Automator action that restores it here : http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/compresspdfworkflow.html
    The other thing to check is whether your graphics are at the actual size you need them or if you have scaled down a big picture, for example. The PDF will still contain information for the full-size image.
    Re-sizing them in something like Photoshop to the size you need first before placing them in the presentation may help.
    Finally, if you have Acrobat (Pro, not just the reader) you can use the Reduce File Size option in the FIle menu to compress the PDF you get from Keynote.
    Post back with how you get on.

  • Placeholder for collection name in a file export dialog.

    I would like to be able to export pictures in subdirectories with names based on the name of the collection they are in. I cant find any file name place holders relating to collection names. Is this possible?

    RobertsEnd wrote:
    Looks spot on
    You may want to try it first - it's Lr3-only, and publish-only (does not support exporting via regular export dialog box) - if publish-only is OK, consider his Folder Publisher or Collection Publisher instead.
    Is publish-only OK? Are you interested in exported folder hierarchy which matches collection hierarchy? or are you interested in filenames with collection name in it, or both?
    Anyway, some other options which may suit, depending (written by me, and offered for free):

  • PDF export in Grayscale or BW

    Hello,
      WeI have notice that PDF export from CrystalReports XI creates black color with Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and black color (ex. cyan 70%, Magenta 68%,  Yellow 68% and black 90%, if you check for color separation in Adobe Acrobat prof.). So we have a big trouble with this export (for our partner black color must be black not generated with other colors). Is there any way to force PDF export to export in BW or grayscale??
    Best regards,
       Robert
    Edited by: RobertR on Nov 20, 2009 10:41 AM

    Yes, I created a new report with only ONE text object (in page Header section). 
    Font properties are:
      Font Arial, Style Bold, Size 22, Color Black,
      everything else is set to default.
    When I run export (in crystal reports) Ii get the result that black color is not black (generated with help of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow). If I print that report to PDF printer (primoPDF) I get a black color. PrimoPDF has some setting how to create PDF (must be black and white printing). The most interesting is PDFCreator (printer) which creates black color on color printing.
    To me looks like nasty bug in export to pdf module. It looks like every PDF export is generated in color.
    Any other ideas???

  • Export dialog: choice of folder becomes irreversible

    In export dialog box the choice for a destination folder becomes fixed and IRREVERSIBLE after ticking the choose box. Now everything goes to my last folder used and the option ''put in subfolder'' that I always used has gone forever. The colour of the dialog box has changed to all white, the pink bar disappeared and I am now stuck with the last used (+ created) subfolder. It is inconvenient since I use subfolders per bird species and this way I am stuck with this obscure subfolder out of which I have to drag them by hand as a workaround. It must be a bug!
    Can anyone help?

    Good morning John. I am late in replying but we are here every other weekend at each other's computers and my partner Jan Willem is less into computers than I am. No, the whole choose button has disappeared, it must be a bug. So what we do now is export all photos via the silly subfolder ''buzzard'' in the subfolder ''birds of prey'' in the subfolder ''Marakissa'' in the subfolder ''The Gambia.....'' Our whole neat workflow makes this detour.
    You can also see this fixed preset when you try to get deeper into the settings, but the path is frozen and you cannot change the path. I hope they will solve it in the next release!
    Kind regards

  • Export presets now direct me to the "Browse For Folder" dialog box

    Suddenly Lightroom will not remember the name of the "export to" folder when I use my export presets in certain ways, even though the name of the "export to" folder appears in the "Export" dialog box. The prolem exists in Library and Develop modules. This is what's happening…
    IF I CLICK ON "FILE":
    1. And choose the "Export" option, LR displays the Export dialog box, from which I can select an user preset and export a JPG file to the proper folder, as intended. (OK) 
    2. And choose the "Export with Previous" option, LR exports the JPG file immediately to the proper folder. (OK) 
    3. And I choose the "Export with Preset option, LR displays the menu of Lightroom presets and user presets, but clicking on a user preset displays the "Browse for folder" dialog box from which I must manually browse to the export folder before a file can be exported. (NOT OK) 
    IF I RIGHT-CLICK ON THE IMAGE:
    LR displays a menu containing these options: Export, Export with Previous, the Lightroom presets, and my user presets. 
    4. If I then choose "Export," LR works properly---same as example 1 above. (OK) 
    5. If I then choose "Export with Previous," LR exports the JPG file immediately. (OK) 
    6. If I then choose one of my presets, LR does not work properly: it acts as it does in example 3 above. (NOT OK) 
    BACKGROUND:
    I have been using these presets for almost a year without fail---they're great! Two days ago I moved my Lightroom catalog to a new external drive. I also renamed the "export to" folder (that new name is stored in the "Export" dialog box). 
    I sure would appreciate hearing from anyone on this because it's driving me crazy. Thanks.

    SOLUTION FOUND:
    I created yet another folder for storing exported JPGs. Then for each export preset I used the "Browse For Folder" dialog to point that preset to that new folder. All presets now work as before. This fix was tolerable for the seven presets I have, but a large number of presets would have made it a real chore.
