Acrobat Transparency Bug?

I was wondering if anyone has this bug and a solution to fix it in regards to pdf created containing transparent images. Any time I place any kind of image with transparency on a page, the colors of the that entire page are rendered incorrectly in Acrobat. The colors are only effected on the page with the transparent image.  The pdf's colors render fine when opened with Photoshop, Reader, etc.  I thought it may have been a problem with just that individual InDesign document, but I created a fresh one and was able to test and recreate that same bug.  This is with CS3 / Adobe Acrobat 8.
I've attached a before and after to show you the color error in Acrobat.  Does any one know the solution to this?

It's good that you'll be submitting a bug. This sort of thing has happened before, and I think it's related some to the fact that InDesign is capable of generating field appearances that you can't set up in Acrobat (transparency in particular).

  • U3D: Transparency bug (?)

    Dear All (and Supportpersons Adobe in particular),
    I believe I have come across a bug that surfaces
    when one part of a transparent mesh has to be seen thru another.
    Please, take a look at the following examples:
    "Real-world"
    http://www.iaas.msu.ru/tmp/u3d/surf_alpha.pdf
    - if you rotate it around, at some camera positions the mesh is transparent,
    at other not.
    "Test-case" (simplest sample from Intel U3D Sample library)
    http://www.iaas.msu.ru/tmp/u3d/box.pdf
    if "doube-sided rendering" is enabled in 3D Preferences and Model Render Mode is set to Transparent via Toolbar some triangles differ in color and are not transparent.
    Does the effect appear on your systems?
    It looks like a bug to me, but I may miss something obvious about 3D graphics
    (i.e. may be it is the case like "it does not work the 'natural' way you expect it to - but it should not and can't"). May be there are known workarounds?
    Oh mighty people of Adobe, please, confirm my report or diffuse my skepticism (end reeducate me if necessary)!
    Sincerely, Michail
    PS.
    I have tried both OpenGL 1.4 and Software rendering in Adobe Reader 9 on my MacBook.
    It does not look like it is related to Lights, Textures, Vertex Colors etc.
    It may be correlated with double-sided rendering and looking on the other part of the same mesh as opposed to another mesh.

    Dear Michail,
    The surf_alpha file contains one mesh for the complex surface, and Acrobat sorts by object. Sorting by triangle would give visually fewer artifacts, and would also be incredibly slow as every triangle in the scene would be sorted for every frame. Z buffer rendering does not deal well with multiple simultaneous transparent objects, and even sorting the triangles does not always work if there is self intersection within or between objects. Some algorithms do deal with this issue properly, but would require significant pre-processing, hardware or time per frame.
    One partial solution you could try is to break the mesh into multiple objects. Minimizing concavity within each mesh will minimize artifacts due to transparency.
    Regards,
    David

  • InDesign exported pdf viewed in Adobe Reader & Acrobat + Transparency

    Hi.
    In InDesign I have a tiff image with a blue color background. This image is on top of a colored rectangle with the same blue. I have matched the color settings so it does infact match & prints out well from InDesign. I also have a couple feathered images in InDesign as well.
    I made the destination color under the export pdf Output section match the color working space.
    As I said..everything prints well from InDesign.
    I make a .pdf & open it in Reader, which also looks fine on screen, but when printed, I get these glowing edges around both the tiff image & feathered images. Is there a way to change the color settings in Reader? Or am I totally missing something else? Transparency spaces??
    In Acrobat, only the vector images look a little jagged on screen, but prints fine. Is there a reason for this also?
    Thank you.
    Jules

    Peter, my apologies for not getting back to you sooner than this, I've been away from my Mac since I posted this.
    Thank you for your very kind offer to look at the files for me. In between time a friend has been over and apparently altered some settings on my iMac and the problem seems to have been resolved. (I hope!)
    Thanks again - I daresay I'll be back with more questions before long...

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Bug - Organizer file

    I have found a bug in Acrobat 9 where you cannot turn off the organizer. even though you turn it "off" in the program it still accesses, reads and writes to the file located
    "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Organizer90"
    this causes a HUGE problem for our clients as our software uses the Acrobat 9 API. Our users are accessing hundreds of documents a day and there are cases where the Organizer90 file reaches upwards of a couple hundred megs per user.
    This also equates to extremely slow PDF access over time.
    Does Adobe know about the issue? it worked just fine in Acrobat 8, but in 9 they broke it.
    Does anyone know a perminent solution or fix?
    Any help is appreciated.

    yeah, we tried the other options, however due to the high volume of pdf files being accessed on thier workstations the file grows exceptionally fast. the ideal situation is to have Organizer not remember PDFs at all.
    The setting you mentioned "Don't remember PDFs" is exactly what we set it to, however, the organizer90 file still remembers the history and grows. (this was not the case in adobe 8, the organizer behavior was working properly)
    We have a temporary workaround for existing users on a workstation to delete the large organizer90 file, launch adobe, open a PDF and save it (it will then recreate the organizer90 file, even with the option "don't remember PDFs" selected), then we mark organizer90 as read only.
    creating an organizer90 file with NULL does not work as there seems to be some adobe information in that file. we tried just creating a NULL file but then Adobe would pop up with errors about the organizer file. (even with the setting turned off)
    Right now, we have to perform this on every workstation for every user that logs into the workstation which is not really an option.

  • Acrobat 9 bug? - Print Pages function does not print all bookmarked pages

    We use the Bookmark Print Pages function to allow for easy printing of sections of large PDFs. All of the pages that should be printed are bookmarked. The bookmarked pages print correctly in Adobe 8, but not in Adobe 9.
    I have put together a javascript workaround, but would prefer a solution that does not require distributing a file to all users.
    I would appreciate any suggestions on other possible workarounds.
    Here is the bug report I submitted to Adobe:
    Concise problem statement: The "Print Pages" function for bookmarks does not print all bookmarked pages in Adobe Reader 9.0 and 9.1. The same bookmarks print properly in Adobe Reader, Standard, and Pro 8.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Open the Adobe Acrobat SDK JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference PDF (Version 8.1, April 2007) in Adobe Reader 9.0 or 9.1.
    2. View the bookmarks. Right-click on New Features and Changes and choose "Print Pages."
    3. Open the same PDF in Adobe Reader, Standard, or Pro 8. (I used Adobe Professional 8.1.3.)
    4. View the bookmarks. Right-click on New Features and Changes and choose "Print Pages."
    Results and Expected results: Printing from v8 results in 12 pages. Printing from v9 results in 9 pages. Pages 741, 754, and 769 did not print from v9.

    I'm having the same issues.  Using the latest version 9.3.3.  Is this a bug? I tired calling adobe but their CR sounds like 3rd country only.  Anyone can shed a light on this issue?

  • Acrobat 9 bug with printing problems

    Hello, Acrobat 9 seems to have a bug when printing pdf files. Only the first page is printed. I tried on my Kyocera 2525E and my HP 2600N. Does anyone know a solution ?

    This seems to be a known issue Peter. There are certain models of Kyocera and Canon printers which will only print the first page. As Mike suggested the issue will only be resolved with an updated driver from the printer manufacturers or an update to Acrobat 9. You might try Print As Image in the Advanced portion of the Print dialog. It is a checkbox at the top of the Advanced dialog. Good Luck!

  • Tracing an image with transparency - bug?

    Try the following: import a PNG or PSD that consists of WHITE-coloured line art on a layer (background is transparent).
    Now run autotrace (did I just date myself?) Image Trace. Now expand. Look at your document in outline mode (preview mode turned off). All you got was a solid white box. Try tracing again with "Ignore White" turned on. Now you get nothing at all.
    This is kind of lame. If I have line art on a transparent background, what could be better for tracing?
    Workaround: in Photoshop, flatten the white artwork against a solid black background, invert and then save as a TIF with layers off.
    So, Adobe, is this a feature? A bug? Will it be addressed?

    All you had to is to select the image in Illustrator and go to Edit>Edit Color>Invert Colors then perform your Live Trace or Image Trace works like a charm
    This was all white art on a transparent background in photoshop I opened the psd in photoshop converted to illustrator objects and then used the invert command and performed my image tarce no problems
    You will have to use the ignore white option and then delete everything  in the layer panel except the compound path that describes the art as such
    You end up with this
    then you can fill it as you wish like such

  • Acrobat 9 Bug/Corruption

    Hi All,
    My I work with Acrobat Reader and noticed a corrupted document.  Can anyone explain what can cause corruption in a document?  I had heard there was a known bug in Acrobat Reader 9.   Also get this error when trying to save sometimes.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    There's no such thing as "Acrobat Reader", not any more, at least.

  • GUI transparency bug?

    I have been experiencing this problem for a while now. All apps show contrasted parts of my desktop wallpaper through GUI parts that should not be transparent. If I take a screen shot to register this "bug" it does not show on the screen shot, so I had to photograph it in order to get a visual.
    Does this sound/look familiar to anyone? I have the latest updates for my mid 2009 iMac 24" and do not run any customization apps.
    Image of the visual bug: http://i47.tinypic.com/1j1dfr.jpg
    This is the visible part of the wallpaper that is being let through: http://i50.tinypic.com/2dqvd2.png
    Note: My screen is not dirty at all, at happens on a software level and is not baked into my LCD because when I change the wallpaper the pattern changes along with it.

    I'm not quite sure what you are seeing...
    But try removing the following files:
    ~/Library/Preferences/systemuiserver.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/byhost/hitoolbox.plist

  • Acrobat X bug - stuck in cycle - "missing pdfmaker files" "do you want to run the installer"

    Hello,
    I just installed Acrobat X on a Windows 7 X 64 with office 2010 x 64 install.    I can print from within office to PDF, however if I right click on a document in explorer and attempt to convert to PDF without opening office, I get "missing pdfmaker files" "do you want to run the installer in repair mode" right after I give it a file name.   If ignore, it won't print.   If I try to fix by running the installer in repair mode, it does some install process but it still gives me the same error.   Nothing shows up in the event viewer.  I tried to run an acrobat update but is says no updates are available.  I have tried uninstalling and downloading the trial version - it has the same issue

    Acrobat X PDFMaker supports 32-bit Office 2010.
    With 64-bit Office 2010 you should be able to use the Adobe Printer; but, for PDFMaker functionality you'll need Office 2010 32-bit.

  • Safari 4 and Acrobat Reader bug over HTTPS

    Hi all,
    I have a web application which generates PDF files over an HTTPS connection and displays them inside the browser window. This application worked fine in Safari 3 and with Acrobat Reader 8. Now with Safari 4 and Acrobat Reader 8 or 9, the window stays white (Reader 9) or black (Reader 8) or displays an eternally spinning cursor. When i switch to Preview , it works fine. Right clicking on the PDF then and asking to display it in Acrobat also works fine, so I think it might be related to Safari 4.
    Anyone had the same problem, or anyone have a suggestion on how to solve this problem.

  • Creating drop shadow on semi transparent bug

    I have to put a client's logo on the bottom right of the screen. I have appliyed the keying effect on it to make the rectangle frame dissapear so that only the logo appears. However, I would need to surround it with a thin black line or shadow so that it doesn't disappear over certain backgrounds. Ho do I achieve that (the inspector doesn't provide any ''drop shadow'' effect for that clip as it would if it were a title) ?

    If you have FCPX 10.0.6 or later, in the Effects browser > Stylize, you should find a Drop Shadow effect you can add to the watermark clip.
