Applying profiles: Did I do right?

I'll try keep this simple...
Objective
To supply a page advertisement as a press-ready PDF to publishers specification 1.3 PDF Ink density not to exceed 300%
Processes and Results
I downloaded and installed the following profile 'ISO coated v2 300% (ECI)' which seem to best match this fairly basic specification.
1. Open main image in Photoshop and save JPG with profile mentioned above applied. Placed image in ID_CS4. >Edit >Assign Profile and apply same CMYK profile to image. Export PDF/X checking same profile applied.  Result = PDF >Output Preview: highlighted large dark areas exceeding 300 Total Area Coverage and not useable.
2. Same as above without applying profile to original Photoshop with same result.
3. Open main image in Photoshop and save as RGB .PS file with no special profile applied. Placed RGB .PS image in ID_CS4. >Edit >Assign Profile and apply 'ISO coated v2 300% (ECI)' to CMYK profile of image. Export PDF/X checking same profile applied.  Result = PDF >Output Preview: almost prefect with only small number of pixels exceeding 300 Total Area Coverage. The colour looked good on screen and this is the file I sent.
Conclusion
Option 3 seemed to work ...it sounds as though it shouldn't but it did. I would be very grateful for any observations or simple explanations from prepress guru's out there. From my experience it appears that publishers are becoming more demanding with ad copy specs especially with online flight-checking delivery systems. I would like to expand my understanding and devise a simple work process that meets every requirement.
Thanks in advance
Steve

The reason option 3 worked is you made a conversion from RGB into the ISO coated v2 300% (ECI) CMYK profile during the export.  There has to be a color conversion for a CMYK profile's total ink limit to be enforced—simply assigning a profile has no effect on total ink.
If you want to place CMYK make sure ISO coated v2 300% (ECI) is the destination CMYK profile when you make the conversion to CMYK in Photoshop.

    Imac 27" Intel Core7  CPU 16 Gig RAM. Screen goes black and will not respond except with a push of power button. Second monitor connected via displayport continues to display fine. Apply Store did full hardware diagnostic and all is fine. Did clean wipe from Mavrick back to Mountain Lion but problem remains. Apple Store can do no more.

    I did some more digging, it appears to be a backlight problem only. I can see the screen very dimly if I use a bright flashlight in a very dark room. It also seems to run ok if the brightness is turned down a LOT.
    So I'm thinking this is a LED driver board issue or the display itself. I'll open it up and check the connection between the two and see if I can get any more clues. At least I can use it somewhat now by dimming the display significantly...

  • Problem Applying Profile - Windows computer Connecting to OSX Network

    I have an Airport, whose network is being administered on my macbook pro, but my Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop is not able to connect to due to "problem applying profile."
    Is this because it has a g card trying to connect to an N network? Or due to it being windows connecting to osx?
    Help

    Make sure your Base Station is configured for b/g compatibility mode, if you are going to be using it with a computer only capable of b/g modes.
    This error most certainly has nothing to do with "windows connecting to OS X" - which it is not. The PC running Windows is connecting to a base station, using industry-standard protocols, and not OSX.
    Is this a PC from work, set up originally to connect to a company wireless network?
    You can get a lot of hints and tips for issues that cause your problem by doing an internet search on the term "problem applying profile", because this is not an error message specific to users of Apple Airport base stations.

  • Query on Papyrus UML models with applied profiles

    Hi everyone,
    I'm using IncQuery for detecting changes on Papyrus UML models.
    My UML models are applied with UML profiles created by Papyrus.
    How can I query on models applied profiles that have the same stereotype name. How to distinguish stereotype name and UML model element name in queries?
    For example, there is Connector and in the applied profile, there is also a stereotype named Connector. How can I use prefix name for this kind.
    Thanks.

    Since 1.0.0, you can name imports and use the name as a prefix for types:
    import "umlNsUri" as uml;
    import "myProfileUri" as profile;
    pattern someP ( myParam : uml::Connector, myP2 : profile::Connector) {...}

  • LR5 Nikon 24-70 F2.8 Vignette Profile too bright top right corner on D4

    I have recently upgraded to LR5 from LR4.  I've noticed that the top right hand corner of my shots with the 24-70 2.8 seem to have a bright corner when lens correction is applied. Otherwise I'm loving the new upgrade. Any ideas? I've tried resetting and I'm still getting it. Do I need to download different profiles?
    Many thanks

    There are (or can be), of course, editable regions in the head of a document. Typically, around the <title></title> you will find 'space' to put links etc, and meta tags:
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->
    <title> Your title here </title>
    <meta name="description" content="Description here." />
    <meta name="keywords" content="keywords here " />
    <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
    Further down in this same document, I find:
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    <style type="text/css">
    <!--
    .style4 {color: #FFFFFF}
    -->
    </style>
    <script src="../Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
    showing a stylesheet link and an embedded style.
    So it's not so much that you can't have editable areas in the head of the document, it's more that you can't overlap or improperly nest ANYTHING.
    You can also (am I repeating myself?) make a tag's attributes editable. I use that feature most notably for applying different IDs to <body> tags for different neighborhoods in my sites. By applying different body IDs, I can control more specifically elements on those pages. But that's a conversation for another time!

  • JRMC4.0: Method profiler not picking the right class instance

    Testing with JRMC 4.0 + R28 1.6
    Method profiler works on unit-test cases. However, when using it on a large scale application, it did not work properly for some of the classes and methods (zero invocation count).
    I searched internet and saw some ppl mentioning about multiple class loader could result that weird behavior. I only using one simple spring class loader, therefore don't know how to resolve it...
    Any suggestion would be appreciated...

    Thanks Erik. The issue is resolved without me doing anything on the application side... I switched back to JRMC 3.1.2, and it works fine.
    Not sure if it's worth looking into to see what's new in 4.0?

  • Adding a shared mailbox to a user's Outlook profile, who has reviewer rights only, via PowerShell

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm working on trying to create something like a knowledge base for my company, and what I'm trying to accomplish is to create a shared mailbox on 365, add users to have read-only rights to the Inbox (which I can achieve via PowerShell) so they can't delete
    the articles, but it seems that by just adding Reviewer permission to a user, it doesn't force the mailbox to open on the end-user's Outlook profile - it only seems to automatically populate if I go through the exchange admin console and allow Full Access
    through User Delegation. 
    Is there a way, via PowerShell, to open a shared mailbox in a user's Outlook profile?
    Thanks for all the help!

    Hi,
    We can create a PRF file that modifies the existing Outlook profile to add the shared mailbox.
    Please have a look at this thread which discussed a similar issue:

  • Roaming profiles did not work with Novell client

    I've Problems with roaming profiles.
    It is perhaps not a Novell problem but anything with windows rights?
    We use ZCM11: (Server: SLES11 SP1)
    Client new PC with a freshly installed Windows7, all updates.
    (Only Turn on file and printer sharing, anything else default, no virusscanner)
    The pre-agent has been installed and then the the Novell Client 2SP1 IR7
    The PC gets a "Dynamic Local User Policy" with the settings:
    - Use the credentials of the user source
    - (Manage existing user account - but we have none there)
    - Volatile user (with no cache, meaning that the user is immediately deleted ... We have also tested with cache.)
    - e-dir user should be only member of Users
    The users from edir get a Roaming Profile Policy with:
    - Store user profile in user's Home Directory. (which is on the OES/SLES server)
    ---- results ----
    If the user has no centrally stored profile, then he can log on but just once!
    (if "Enable Volatile User cache" also several times to the same PC)
    If the user already has a stored profile, he can not log on Error: "The Group Policy client service failed the logon Access is denied"
    In my view, the following happens. W7 create the user locally and want's put in the settings from a central profile in the local
    Profile and can not do that.
    Only when no "central profile" is there in the homedir, or if this profile does not contain the file ntuser.dat, the user can log in locally.
    However, no files are used from te saved profile, for instance from the saved desktop.
    I can not imagine that anyone around the world with ZCM11 on a SLES/OES Server don't use the Novell client and raoming profiles
    It must therefore give a simple trick to solve the problem.
    But which one? Can some one here help me?

  • Thunderbird shows 3 default profiles? Is this right? I just installed it and recovered my profile from another computer.

    My previous computer's hard drive said it was failed. I copied off the thunderbird profile before it crashed.
    I bought a new computer. I restored the thunderbird profile. Within a few hours, the email and file folders revert to a 2014 data file any anything from that time forward does not appear. So I went in, uninstalled thunderbird, deleted all the thunderbird profiles and their files and put it back on again. Within a couple hours, it did it again.
    So I again uninstalled thunderbird, searched everything thunderbird and deleted all I could and downloaded a fresh copy of thunderbird and then restored the profile again. Within about 30 minutes there are now three different default profiles for thunderbird. I don't know what else to do. The e-mail files aren't changed yet, but I'm waiting...... Are three supposed to be there, I would think not. I certainly didn't create them. Somebody know what to do??????

    ''Are three supposed to be there''
    No, Thunderbird would create a new profile upon start if it can't find an existing profile.
    ''I restored the thunderbird profile.''
    How exactly did you do this?
