Why are white lines appearing in images in PDF files but not the original InDesign files?

Hi folks!
Let me just start out by saying that I'm not a graphic designer and have basically no experience with graphic design programs, aside from the little futzing around I've tried to do with InDesign. My company (which publishes a monthly magazine) has decided that it would be a great idea to get the files to our magazine from the graphic design firm that actually handles the production end of things so that we may offer back articles, etc., and modify them as needed. Somehow I've gotten assigned the task of handling this. However, I've encountered some problems along the way. The graphic design firm uses Quark, we own InDesign (CS3) and use Markzware to convert the files. Most things seem to work okay in this arrangement but I'm having problems with the images in the file when I create PDFs. Although the images look fine in the InDesign files (and are of print quality), when I create PDFs of some files, thin white lines appear over the images in the PDF document. I asked our graphic designer about this but she has no idea, and she isn't very familiar with InDesign.
So, my question is, where are these lines coming from and how do I stop them from appearing? As a reminder, I'm not a graphic designer and am fdairly ignorant in design software terminology. If you're kind enough to try to help me with this problem, I'm going to require an explanation in plain English. Basically explain it to me like you would to a 10 year old.
If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance,
Lynn

I think Bob was typing too fast and meant to ask if you were distilling, not to tell you distill.
Distilled PDF (you get distilled by printing to PDF rather than exporting) always flattens transparency, which is what makes those white "stitching" lines.
You can make the stitching disappear on screen by turning off smoothing in the Acrobat prefs, and it shouldn't print on a press, but it sounds like you may be doing the output on a digital machine and it's likely to show on the lower resolution output.

White Lines appear on Images in Adobe Photoshop CS3

White Lines appear on Images in Adobe Photoshop CS3
Recently discover that on three different computers, while editing images in Adobe Photoshop CS3, white lines would appear on some of the images.
For example changing a image from a .jpg to a .psd or size, or enchantment features, the white lines would appear on the image.
The lines did not appear on any of the printed images, any suggestions.
Monitor: Sony Trintron Multiscan G4110
Computer: Mac G5

>The lines did not appear on any of the printed images,
Although it is odd that three computers exhibit the same problem, and unless you can provide other coincidences (same files, same monitor, etc.), I agree. The video card is typically the culprit IF the image anomalies don't print and if they move about with each image resizing or opening of a specific image. Check to see if it's properly seated and connected. Same for monitor cable. Try swapping in another card.
One other thought: as this is a CRT monitor, what happens if you change the resolution and refresh rate? Are you using a recommended combination for that monitor?

When a pdf is taken from illustrator, white lines appears on images. How can be avoided it?

When a pdf is taken from illustrator, white lines appears on images. How can be avoided it?
I use illustrator cs5. It occures mostly on the cover pages of brochures which contains images, texts and some effects such as drop shadow etc.

Thanks for your reply.
When smooth line art is turned off in Acrobat preferences,the lines disappears but the text becomes raserized and goes its smoothness. Not only that, we are not sure that everyone who is viewing the pdf has the same settings in their laptop or desktop.
Is there any other solution to remove these lines? I have added the screenshot of a part of the pdf.
Thanks once again for your support.

Why are Java SASLFactories missing when called via PL/SQL but not from JRE?

Hi
This may be quite a technical point about SASL and JCE Providers etc OR it may just be a question about how Oracle PL/SQL interfaces with Java.
The background is that I am trying to get a Java opensource library to run in Oracle DB - this is for specialized communication from Database to other servers.
The library uses a SASL mechanism to authenticate with the server and this (appears) to rely on JCE Providers installed and provided by the JRE.
I have some Java code working which uses the library - this runs OK in NetBeans/Windows environment and also using Linux/Oracle JRE directly such as:
  +# $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -classpath "./MyMain.jar:./OtherSupport.jar" package.TestClient+
However it refuses to work (throws a NullPointerException) when called from PL/SQL.
  +FUNCTION send_a_message (iHost IN VARCHAR2,+
     iPort IN NUMBER,
    +iLogin IN VARCHAR2,+
    +iPasswd IN VARCHAR2,+
     iRecipient IN VARCHAR2,
     iMessage IN VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER
   AS LANGUAGE JAVA
   NAME package.TestClient.sendATextMessage(java.lang.String, int, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) return int';
In the Java code this is:
   public static int sendATextMessage(String iHost,
     int iPort,
     String iLogin,
     String iPasswd
     String iRecipient,
     String iMessage)
I've tracked the issue down to there being no SaslClientFactories (via Sasl.getSaslClientFactories()) showing when called from PL/SQL whereas 3 are available when run from within Java directly. This via:
   Enumeration<SaslClientFactory> facts = Sasl.getSaslClientFactories();
   System.out.println("Found Sasl Factories [" & (facts != null) & "] size[" & Collections.list(facts).size() & "]");
So, is there some aspect of Java initialisation that I'm missing when calling from PL/SQL (which means SASL factories aren't getting loaded into JRE) or is there something different in SASL setup?
Any pointers appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Ok, after a bit of reading and general hacking about I have got this working.
What I hadn't initially understood/remembered is that for a Stored Procedure the JVM installed on file system with Oracle isn't actually used - java code is loaded into the database and hence a different set of base functions are available. The following is a good explanation of this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B14117_01/java.101/b12021/appover.htm#BGBIBDAJ
So "out of the box" the Oracle Database appears to come loaded with only two of the Sun security providers i.e. no com.sum.security.SASL
>
OBJECT_NAME             OBJECT_TYPE     STATUS   TIMESTAMP
com/sun/security/auth/NTSid  JAVA CLASS    VALID   2013-02-14:14:08:57
com/sun/security/jgss/GSSUtil    JAVA CLASS    VALID   2013-02-14:14:08:57
>
This is from:
>
SELECT
  object_name,
  object_type,
  status,
  timestamp
FROM
  user_objects
WHERE
  (object_name NOT LIKE 'SYS_%' AND
   object_name NOT LIKE 'CREATE$%' AND
   object_name NOT LIKE 'JAVA$%' AND
   object_name NOT LIKE 'LOADLOB%') AND
   object_type LIKE 'JAVA %' AND
   object_name LIKE 'com/sun/security%'
ORDER BY
  object_type,
  object_name;
>
My solution (which may well be a work-around) is the following:
1) Downloaded JDK Source and extracted "com.sun.security.sasl" java code to my project
2) Added following code to my Stored Procedure ()
>
Enumeration<SaslClientFactory> saslFacts = Sasl.getSaslClientFactories();
if (!saslFacts.hasMoreElements()) {
  System.out.println("Sasl Provider not pre-loaded");
  int added = Security.addProvider(new com.sun.security.sasl.Provider());
  if (added == -1) {
    System.out.println("Sasl Provider could not be loaded");
    System.exit(added);
  else {
    System.out.println("Sasl Provider added");
>
3) Built my JAR file with the sasl package embedded (note: could only find Java 6 code, so had to comment out some GSS lines - but wasn't intending to use these)
4) Loaded JAR to oracle via "loadjava".
5) Add permissions (only found this out after a couple of failed runs)
>
call dbms_java.grant_permission('XMPP', 'SYS:java.security.SecurityPermission', 'putProviderProperty.SunSASL', '' );
call dbms_java.grant_permission('XMPP', 'SYS:java.security.SecurityPermission', 'insertProvider.SunSASL', '' );
>
6) Run gives the following:
>
Sasl Provider not pre-loaded
Sasl Provider added
...etc...
>
It works!. I confess I'm not sure of the implications of this for multiple calls/performance and if it will need to be added for each stored procedure call - may post back.
For completeness I should point out that after my load the Security providers look like this:
>
OBJECT_NAME             OBJECT_TYPE     STATUS   TIMESTAMP
com/sun/security/auth/NTSid    JAVA CLASS    INVALID  2013-02-15:09:11:36
com/sun/security/jgss/GSSUtil    JAVA CLASS    INVALID  2013-02-15:09:11:37
com/sun/security/sasl/Provider    JAVA CLASS    VALID    2013-02-15:10:03:21
>
i.e. the original couple are "INVALID" !

Why does Calendar sync with Google on a new user, but not my original one?

I have a late 2012 Macbook Pro that came running Mountain Lion out of the box. I have used Mail and Messages with my various Google accounts since I purchased it, but never Calendar. When I checked the Calendar option all I got was the header for where the calendars should be.
I cannot see any calendars on that account, create/view/edit events, or anything. My sync settings on the Google side are just fine as it works on other devices. Last night I took it a step further and created a new user account on my laptop and first thing I did was connect my Google account. Everything worked.
I have tried deleting the Calendar cache files, preferences, accounts, and pretty much anything short of the app itself. I even went ahead and cleared out my Keychain of anything relating to that account or Google in general. As a last ditch effort, I did a full clean up and reset of the SyncServices system.
Short of painstakingly comparing the two accounts I have no idea what could be causing this problem. There are no user specific applications or extensions running on my machine, and I've performed no "under the hood" tweaks to Mountain Lion.
Does anyone have any idea where I should be looking for a cause? I haven't found anything like this problem online yet, and I definitely don't want to migrate my stuff to a new account.
Key points:
Google Calendars do not sync at all to my primary user account.
I've tried multiple Google accounts.
Only a new user account in Mountain Lion is able to connect.
All SyncServices files and all Calendar files have been wiped and recreated to no effect.

When I open up "originals" in my iPhoto library, the dates are not there or are incorrect. I see date created and date modified, not the original date the picture was taken. How can I find the accurate original dates?

I have had a lot of issues with my iPhoto program. After many trips to the Genius Bar and numerous hours with phone techs, I am now rebuilding my library, starting with a backup of it from before the corruption. When I "get info" of a picture, I notice the original date the picture was taken (most important for me), is not there or is wrong. When I check package contents of my iPhoto library, the originals show up, but most (not all) of the dates are wrong. Can anyone tell me how or where I might find the original dates?

I did post to the iPhoto forum and am hoping for an answer soon. I don't want to continue rebuilding my iphoto library if I can do it using originals. My library has 45,000 pictures...a huge job!

Why are my ITunes playlists on my iPhone, iPad and Mac not the same?

I don't understand the ITunes. I have an Iphone, Ipad and new Mac Probook with Retina Display. When I add songs to ITunes my playlists do not synchronize. I have to manually delete the playlist on my Mac, create new ones, then synch with USB to each device. Isn't there an easier way to manage the playlists?

You can't drag and drop content onto smart playlists, only regular ones.

White lines appear on videos since my new Mac Pro - Why?

Hello,
I'm the happy owner of a Mac Pro 2,7 GHz 12-Core Intel Xeon E5 / 64 gig RAM / 2X AMD FirePro D700 6144 Mo running on OS X 10.9.3 (13D65).
I'm using CC latest version but also Red Giant Magic Bullet LOOKS to color grade my videos (on an adjustment layer). I have 3 HDD (1 SSD in the computer with the programs + 1 external (Thunderbold) G-RAID for cache files + 1 external Pegasus R6 2 (Thunderbolt 2) for the footage).
Sometimes, when reading (but more often when exporting in Media Encoder) white lines appear on the video (see image below). Why?
Is that a Premiere problem? Is something going wrong with my Mac? I have already reinstalled everything from scratch but the problem remains...
I was working with the same programs on my previous iMac and I didn't have this problem.
Any idea ?

Is it an Adobe or a Mac Pro 2013 related problem? Does everyone using the GPU acceleration have the same problem?
So far, it appears to be an issue with OS X 10.9.2 and up. Some folks that are beta testing 10.9.4 have reported that the strange artifacts no longer appear while using Hardware mode, but a few folks are still having Premiere crashes with it. My suspicion is that we're seeing two separate problems with Premiere on the new Mac Pro when using Hardware mode: 1) artifacts, lines, etc on exports and 2) application crashes. Neither of these appear to happen when Pr and AME are put into Software mode. Given the commonality of the problems (using GPUs on the new Mac Pro) some folks seem to think they're directly related. My gut tells me they aren't.
The challenge for the folks at Adobe and other third party app developers is that the boys (and girls) in Cupertino are changing things within OS X a bit too quickly, for better, for worse. Some of these changes are what I call "ninja patches" where they don't really explain what they're changing or why. I strongly suspect that's what's going on here. They sneaked something into OS X 10.9.2 and haven't un-sneaked it yet. Folks are strongly encouraging Adobe to address this issue pronto, but if Cupertino keeps altering the guts of the OS, how can they?

White lines appear on OAM placed in InDesign

Hello. This is my first post in the forums.
I've just placed my first OAM file into an InDesign folio. The initial/downstage image views great in both Edge Animate and InDesign but once the folio is uploaded and viewed on a tablet device horizontal white lines appear. Has anyone experienced this behavior with OAM files and tablets? I've seen postings about white lines appearing in PDFs but not folios. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
Thanks!

Problem with tiny white lines appearing in my work

Hi all,
I'm very new to photoshop. I find that while I'm working this white noise (and also other times in the form of a bunch of tiny white lines) appears to cover most of my image. See to the right of the man's head as well as from his neck down on the orange background. It's manageable (though annoying and distracting) while working, but I got to thinking what if the finished file displays the lines as well? To test this, I saved it in a few file formats and I still see the lines. Also, this project, including the starting file, is from the adobe tutorial classroom in a book, if that helps. I'm hoping someone can help me! Thanks!

Thanks for your help.
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

I haven't set any scratch discs. Should I set them up at this point?
The book is showing the same exact image without the lines.
The attached screen shots show each layer on its own - some show the white lines, some do not. None of the channels show the white lines. They appear often when working with masks.

White line appearing at top of screen on SD and some HD

I've noticed a white line appearing atop my broadcast watching SD and some HD channels.
I know this line is part of the broadcast signal which is responsible for closed captioning or some other technical aspects. From what I've researched, a TV's overscan should crop out that part of the broadcast, unfortunately mine is not.
Here's my set up:
Vizio VL320M 32" 1080P HDTV (receiving signal via HDMI from receiver)
Sony STR-DH700 Receiver (receivers HDMI switch outputting signal to Vizio TV)
Motorola QIP6416-2 DVR STB (connected via HDMI to receiver HDMI switch)
I can crop out the white line by setting my Vizio to Zoom1 or Stretch, though this distorts the image and is a pain to reset for channels which do not experience this problem.
I can also adjust the TV's vertical posistion up a few to get rid of the line, BUT when I switch HDMI ports to goto my xbox 360, then switch back to the HDMI port my cable is on, it appears that the STB resets my signal position and the line comes back.
I haven't tried component, and really do not want to switch from HDMI to component as some sort of work around.
If anyone has any suggestion to resolve this problem, please post. Thanks for any suggestions.

I think I may have narrowed down the problem. I believe it's a handshake issue occurring between my Sony receiver and my TV, though I could be wrong. Maybe some of you A/V experts can see otherwise.
I've come to this conclusion because of the vertical setting being returned to its default position upon switching ports on my Sony's HDMI switch. Keep in mind my STB is connected to a port on my Receiver's HDMI switch and my receivers HDMI output is connected to my TV.
I can crop out the white broadcast line by simply adjusting the vertical position of my screen up of few pixels. HOWEVER, when I switch HDMI ports on my receiver, then come back to the port my STB is on, the vertical position resets itself to the default position, even though my TV's vertical setting never changed.
Here's another possible confirmation. If I press the menu button on my Vizio's remote, immediately upon the TV's menu appearing the vertical position goes to the position that's set in the TV. Strange, but that's what leads me to believe there's a conflict occurring somewhere between my receiver and TV.
I have confirmed this behavior does not occur when I connect my STB directly to my TV. I can switch my TV's HDMI ports and the vertical position holds.
I contacted Sony support, and they want me to take my receiver to a service center. I doubt that there's a problem with my receiver that can be fixed, so I'm just gonna use a workaround by activating my TV's menu so the handshake can complete after switching HDMI ports.
Since I have a universal remote that's capable of macro layering, it's just a matter of programming a layered macro to goto my STB port then activate the TV menu to initiate the vertical setting. Maybe at some other point in time I'll lug my receiver in, though unless I'm positive it can be fixed, I really don't feel like pulling apart my home theatre and explaining this to techs if I'm not even sure it can be fixed.
If anyone else knows of a better workaround please feel free to post it. Thanks.
