Acrobat won't export ghosted background photos.

I'm on a 2008 MacBook Pro running Adobe Acrobat CS4. I'm publishing a 368-page book. When I export a PDF of my page layouts from InDesign, some of my background photos and artwork, which I ghosted back to 25% opacity in InDesign, will not export into the PDF. But, other similar ghosted photos and artwork randomly do export just fine. Does anyone know why? I've never had this problem before. None of the photos or artwork are missing or corrupted. They're all accounted for in the InDesign "Links" tab. Thanks.

Well that's why you can't export - iPhoto cannot find the particular file.
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, faces and places 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.

  • Aperture won't export all photos to Mail

    Most of the time, Aperture won't export all my chosen photos to Mail. If I chose 8 photos, it may only export 4 of them and no matter what I do, nothing changes. Tried it on Entourage and it was exactly the same. Size is not the issue, I'm sending them in small sizes and the total attachment is about 1 MB. Anyone had this issue and know what to do? I do have NIK plug ins installed if that helps any.

    I would suggest you do a library repair to see if that clears it up.

  • IPhoto '11 9.1.5 won't export photos

    I just updated to iPhoto '11 9.1.5. It won't export photos as usual, just says "unable to create/(folder name)/(photo name)" Stupid thing. Thanks. Chelaye

    I recommend doing all your software updates.
    You might be able to do all your updates through the Mac App Store or have to do it in combination with "Software Update..." found under the  menu.

  • Iphoto photos won't export

    I have some photos in iphoto I copied off a jump drive.  They don't act like the other photos in iphoto, for example, they won't export to my website but my other iphoto photos will. Also, when I look at the events, they don't show up.  It is like I can see them, but not manipulate them the way I want.

    This might be a file permissions issue:
    Download BatchMod from
    http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
    And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

  • Some photos won't export as versions

    A proportion of photos from various projects won't export as versions, either JPGs or TIFFs. The files themselves aren't corrupt as I can open them in Photoshop and then save them as JPG or TIFF files or whatever I want. I though it might be library that was corrupt but I rebuilt the library and the probem still persists and with the same photos.
    I have my library stored on a RAID system. I've stored it before on a RAID setup but always using Apple's formatting software to RAID the HDs together. This is a hardware RAID system so the computer reads it as 2TB when it's really two 1TB drives together. It is then formatted with the standard Apple DIsc Utility. This is the only difference from before and I've never had the problem until now.
    Could this be the problem? Could fragmented files on this drive be the problem? Any suggestions welcome.

    The way you have described your issues sounds like you are running a referenced library where you have easy access to the files through the finder. Is it possible that in the process of accessing files through the finder that some have been moved or had attributes changed? The way to identify this is by the badges that Aperture displays on an image, pg.291 of the manual see below.
    To display badge overlays on images in the Viewer:
    1 Do one of the following:
    Â Choose View > Metadata > Customize (or press Command-J).
    Â Choose Aperture > Preferences, then click Metadata.
    2 Select the Viewer checkbox.
    3 From the Viewer Set 1 pop-up menu, choose a metadata view that includes badge
    overlays. Some examples are General and Ratings, as well as Viewer-Basic and
    Viewer-Expanded.
    4 Close the Preferences window.
    Badges are now visible in the Viewer.

  • Acrobat Pro won't export PDF to TIFF

    My Acrobat X Pro won't export an engineering drawing PDF to a 1200 dpi TIFF. It says this image is too wide, and recommends I crop the image or lower the resolution. I do not wish to do either.  Why does acrobat care how wide my image is? I need it at 1200, and I need it whole and intact.  How do I get my TIFF image?

    Use Photoshop. This is enormously outside the design and intention of Acrobat.

  • IPhoto won't export photos

    I was using iPhoto to edit some RAW photos I took today. Several times iPhoto stopped responding, the color wheel just spun until I did a forced quit. After about the third time of this, while I was exporting the edited photos as jpegs. I got a message.... unable to create/user/"myname"/desktop/folder. Now I can not export photos to any location, not my desktop, not an external drive, nada, nowhere. I installed OS 10.5 Friday night. Things seemed to be working OK 'till now. Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • IPhoto copies, Export problem, upload photos

    HELP!!! I definitely need your expertise.
    Here is the background:
    - I wanted to upload photos onto Kodak Gallery through ofoto Express. Since Ofoto can upload pictures from iPhoto, so i went to organize my photos there.
    - I created a new folder (let's call it "F1" ) in iPhoto and then I put new pictures into "F1" from a photo CD, then I manually re-arranged the photo order "F1".
    Then here comes all the troubles:
    1) Can I resize all the photos in this "F1" album all the once? If so, how do I do that?
    2) When I put pictures into this "F1" , I notice the Library, film roll and 2005 also have a copy of my photos except they are all out of order, why is that?
    3) Can I just keep one copy of "F1" without having so many duplicated copies elsewhere such as under the YEAR or keywords?
    4) Are there good and faster way to upload all 300 full size photos?
    5) From the album "F1" I created, I tried to do EXPORT all the photos too, but all the photos that was exported were out of order and not in the right orientation, what can I do and what is the function of this Export then?
    6) How come the Duplicate photo function in iPhoto only put the copy right next to the original? Can I have a seperate duplicated folder? When I made duplicate, I found that the library also have the duplication and once I deleted one copy out of two, it deleted the original image in my "F1" album. I don't understand.
    7) How come I cannot just make a "copy" of "F1" album to my desktop?
    PLEASE HELP, I am so lost!!! Am I the only one that has this problem?
    Thanks,
    MC

    Hi Michelle, I will try to answer some of your questions...
    Then here comes all the troubles:
    1) Can I resize all the photos in this "F1" album all the once? If so, how do I do that?
    You resize the photo when they are exported, not while they are within iPhoto.
    2) When I put pictures into this "F1" , I notice the Library, film roll and 2005 also have a copy of my photos except they are all out of order, why is that?
    I don't know about the out of order part, but it could be that the album you made you manually moved the images where you wanted them. In the library, roll, and year view, the View is set globally by what you chose under the View menu
    3) Can I just keep one copy of "F1" without having so many duplicated copies elsewhere such as under the YEAR or keywords?
    Those aren't duplicates, they are just like an alias or a plcaehold for the real image
    4) Are there good and faster way to upload all 300 full size photos?
    Not really, it all depends on your connection speed. That amount of images will take a long long time
    5) From the album "F1" I created, I tried to do EXPORT all the photos too, but all the photos that was exported were out of order and not in the right orientation, what can I do and what is the function of this Export then?
    This has been a problem for many people including me. There have been work arounds listed here on the discussions by Old Toad. You must rename the images with numbers either within iPhoto as a batch change or when you export them, use the album name as a naming scheme and the images will be numbered. This order may or maynot be what you expected though. Like I said working with so many images is going to be very confusing. I will have to try and find Old Toad's solution for you.
    Are you uploading these images to put in an online album or for prints. You know you can also manage them on the online album, rearranging order,naming,etc. These online places also limit the number of images for each album.
    6) How come the Duplicate photo function in iPhoto only put the copy right next to the original?
    So you can find it easily
    Can I have a seperate duplicated folder?
    yes, make an album and put the duplicates in that album
    When I made duplicate, I found that the library also have the duplication and once I deleted one copy out of two, it deleted the original image in my "F1" album. I don't understand.
    If you made the duplicate in an Album it will be reflected in the library.
    If you delete an image from the library it will be deleted from the album too as the library is the place where all the images are kept. The albums only have place holders. If you want to work on a group of images and want the edits and names etc. to be different than the ones in the library, duplicate all the images in the library first. Make an album and move only the duplicates to the album. Now you can make your images B&W, sepia, edit, crop, etc. and all these edits will be reflected on the duplicates and not the originals n the library.
    7) How come I cannot just make a "copy" of "F1" album to my desktop?
    You can, but it will take some work to get it exported in the order you want. I will have to do some experimenting to see

  • How do I export all the photos I imported back to their original folder

    How do I export all the photos I imported back to their original folder just as they were, they haven't been modified, adjusted etc. I imported them by mistake.

    You don't need to worry. You won't lose photos when the 30 day trial expires.
    Lr is different than other photo editing software in that it works with a data base (called the "catalog"). Lr does not write anything into the image pixels but stores everything that you do in Lr into its catalog (=data base). That way, when the trial expires your images will still be there, but - since you cannot access the Lr catalog anymore - your photos will be in the state they were before you imported them into Lr.
    When you work with Lr you have to really understand the concept of the "catalog", if you don't you will come into very frustrating situations. The concept of "catalog" involves above all that you need to think of your images based on two different files that are in different locations on your computer. One is your image file (Raw, JPG, TIFF) and the other is the data entry written for this image into the Lr catalog. Lr constantly updates this catalog (without you having to hit <save>) and constantly combines the image file with the data from the catalog. From this follows the demand that you take care of the Lr catalog as much as you take care for your image files - by knowing where they are located on your computer and by doing regular backups.
    Would it be worth the investment? In my opinion definitively "yes"! I work with Lr since version 1 on a daily basis and would not want to miss it. Lr gives you superior image editing possibilities (in the Develop Module) but - as already said - is also a superb image management tool. Lr will keep track of all of your images irrespective if they are on internal or external hard drives. With Lr you have all of your images available all the time.
    But Lr has also a steep learning curve. You cannot just jump in and do things because you'd create havoc and become frustrated. There are excellent books but for starters I would recommend that you watch the video tutorials on Adobe's website. You learn from them easily because you see on your screen what the instructor does, where he clicks, where the different tools are, etc.
    Here are some links:

    If you decide to buy, you can do so on Adobe's website. You will then be e-mailed a serial # that will unlock your trial version for indefinite time.

    "An error occurred while exporting your document to powerpoint."
    I have tried some of the suggestions from other posts regarding exporting to qt like uncheck close after last slide and trashing the com.apple.iwork.keynote.plist file. Neight of these worked in my case with Powerpoint.

  • InD suddenly won't export to pdf

    I've been exporting files to pdf all day to send to my printer, and suddenly InDesign won't export anymore. Pop ups open as usual, but nothing happens.Grrrrrrr!!

    Are you patched to 7.0.4?
    Is the export hanging in the background, or is a file  supposedly created, but non-exisitent? Have you opened the Background Tasks panel to see if the task is completing?
    Can you export in the foreground by putting the file in a Book?

  • Exporting edited ('current') photos at maximum quality?

    I currently use iPhoto 9.5.1 (on OSX 10.9.1) to organize my photos and I use an external editor (Photoshop) to edit them.
    When I get an image that I want to then use for something I take it out from the iPhoto library. Previously I did this with a simple drag and drop, but that functionality mysteriously and suddenly ceased. Now I use export current. (I don't want the orignal verison that has none of the photoshop work)
    From what I understand, exporting the current photo exports the version from the preview folder.
    Is this a full quality version that is exactly what I created in photoshop and saved? Compared to the file in the masters folder would it be the same quality?
    In other words is there any loss in quality along this path and if so where does it occur (or is this not the path)?
    Camera-> masters folder-> iphoto library -> external editor -> previews folder -> iphoto library -> export of current
    I don't care so much about metadata and primarily care about the quality of the exported edited image. I use them for other purposes where metadata is irrelevant (like parts of a design or printing).

    Thank you,
    The question I have is in that tip you specifically mention that selecting 'current' as kind of export would export "the iPhoto Preview, a medium quality jpeg, it won't have all the metadata."
    I did some tests with a tiff, png and jpeg file and found that this was not the case. The tif exported a tif, the png export a png and the jpeg export something closer to the original jpeg size (not anywhere near medium quality). Here are the results of the jpeg test:
    The one discrepancy I notice is that there is a 200 byte difference between the version saved from the external editor and the version exported as current. That is minor, but I'm wondering where that may come from. Is it a result of saving the file with photoshop or is it something iPhoto does to the file?
    The discrepancy seems to be greater (up to 29kb) with the png test:
    And I think the discrepacny is likely from what the external editor does in saving the file and not what iPhoto does. Here are the results from my tiff test:
    The inclusion of the color profile in the save from the external editor brings it closer to the size of modifed version.
    So I find my concern that exporting 'current' would severely reduce the quality by always making a "medium quality jpeg" is not the case, and that it does export something very similar to the work I did in the external editor.
    (I like using iPhoto for how it organizes with metadata. I just don't need the metadata for files/images that I export from iPhoto. They move on to a different purpose where such data is irrelevant. Also I'm curious if iPhoto is not meant to be used for organizing media what is it's primary purpose?)
