Auto shape colour being made solid when PDF'd

Hi
I am hoping someone will be able to help with an issues I am having. I am trying to PDF a Word document, on the document is an image and then on top of the image is an auto shape with a very light shade of colour so you can still see the image through the auto shape. When PDF'ing the document the colour becomes solid and you can't see the image through the auto shape.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there any fix?
Thanks in advance.
Jodie

More than likely it is in the PDF creation end of things. If that's the case, you'll want to go to the forum for the software you are using to create the PDF.
Before that, one thing you CAN check in Reader is Preferences>Page Display>REndering and be sure that smoothing preferences are checked.

Text is being cut off when going from PSD to PDF

I'm creating a card with the words "Happy Holidays" in the top 1/3rd of the document. In .psd format it's fine. When I save it as a .pdf it cuts off the top of the "L" and "D" of Holiday. I'm using the font Zapfino. I've tried duplicating the text and rasterizing it to replace the missing text, but then it only shows an outline of the missing text. I'm stumped. If you have any insight I'd appreciate hearing it.
Thank you!

Two work-arounds:
• Layer – Type – Convert to Shape should create a Solid Color-Layer with a Vector Mask and that should output as vector data in the pdf.
• Insert a much larger letter in the text (that can also be a space, so invisible)
As for the actual problem (Zapfino outputs with a white upper section in a pdf on my station, too): Curious indeed.

You should contact Apple by phone as soon as possible. You'll need to change your Apple ID and all passwords.

Hello,
My old emails address which I have used as my apple id for 10 years is being made redundant. I have changed the email address to a new gmail one and this is my new apple id. But my iMac has not recognised this. It keeps saying it wants the password for my old email address. I have seen some advice on these forums which suggest signing out of iCloud and then back in again. But when I start doing this it asks me if i want all the photos deleted that have not been downloaded onto the mac.
I have had an iCloud account for quite sometime and I'm afraid of losing everything in my cloud if i sign out and sign in with a new id.
Is this fear realistic?
I know I can change back to my old email, sign out and then sign in wight he new one...
Please help!

This did not work for me. My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook. I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up. I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

Printing problem when PDF is sent to the printer with certain fonts - missing text

I'm running into a printing problem when PDFs containing certain characters of the Calibri font are used. The text in large sections of the PDF is missing on the paper version, but the text is there on the screen. It's also happened when the PDFs we created were e-mailed out to a client and printed on their printer. The problem is not present when printing directly from the programs (Microsoft Word, Excel, Visio, etc.). I've been trying to get tech support from Adobe on this, but every time I call they apologize and say they will call back in 4-6 hours with an answer. Same result each time, no call back. If anyone from Adobe is listening, it's case number 184891587. The font appears as an embedded subset when I look at the document properties. Sometimes deleting one or two Characters allows for larger text blocks to be printed - i.e. removing a long dash in bold from the heading of a paragraph makes the paragraph reappear when printed to paper from PDF. In all cases the PDF appears correct on the screen. Printing as an image allows the text to appear, but the image quality isn't acceptable for small text, even at the 600 dpi setting on the printer. If the PDF is sent out by e-mail, we do not have control over the end-user's printer setup anyway, so we need this to work in all cases.
The setup/process I'm using is as follows:
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit
Microsoft Office 2013 - problem is present when printing documents from Word, Excel or Visio. Even other variations on documents.
I've tried Acrobat versions 11.0.0 to 11.0.5 as well as Acrobat Pro 11.0.0 and 11.0.1. Same Result
Printing to Adobe PDF as the printer, from the third party application
Printing to a Xerox printer from PDF using Acrobat - Text missing
Client prints to Konica printer - Text missing
I print to the wide-format Ricoh (which also does 11x17) and the text is present.
Is there something I'm missing? Is the entire font not getting embedded into the PDF file? I noticed that rolling back to a much older version of the Calibri font (1.02 compared to 5.72) makes the problem mostly go away, but it's not completely gone. Is it possible the font is too large to be completely embedded? Where can I go from here?

Success! At least for now. It looks like my problem was fixed with Adobe's most recent update, 11.0.06. From the release notes:
PDF creation
Added support for Lotus Notes 9.
Added support for WebCapture in IE 11.
Added support for conversions from AutoCAD 2013.
3652540 A blank pdf is created for files having hidden visual style.
3601108 Flow Chart converts as a multicolored square.
3654345 Word documents missing parts of images in conversion to PDF.
3654572 Temporary file size increases when creating pdf by combining multiple files into one PDF.
3670155 PDF file created with Distiller XI prints incorrectly to some printers. (Emphasis mine)
3599407 Checkbox check marks do not appear in these files.
3663233 IE Web Capture in localized OS: Icons and drop-down menu items are missing and conversion dialog is not localized.
3651931 Chrome Only: Few web pages when converted to pdf from Chrome plugin doesn’t show up the Save As dialog.
3597910 EPM Mode On: Web capture is not working on Windows 8-32 bit when cache folder is missing.
3610644 Firefox 23.0: With Firefox version 23.0 (latest), the WebCapture icon shows up very dim as if it is disabled.
3650244 ODA falis to convert DWG files to PDF for large files.
I don't know if that's definately what solved the problem, but it sure sounds similar and this is the update that made the printing problem go away. We can't get the PDFs to fail at this point with our printers, even with Calibri 5.72. I'll come back to thread if we have printing problems at the end-user locations.

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

Finding out if any modifications are being made in the fields in an editable datagrid

Hi,
I populated my data grid with an array
collection(initDG=event.result.categorydtls.category) where
initDGObject is the array collection.I made the data grid as
editable.Now , when the user click's on submit(below data grid),
the request for modifying the corresponding details in database
should go only if the user makes any modification ,or else an alert
should be shown saying that "you havent made any modifications".For
this purpose i assigned "event.result.categorydtls.category" to
another array collection initDGObject and ,in the function which
will be invoked after clicking on submit i compared both the
objects initDG and initDGObject.But to my surprise,if any field in
data grid is modified then both initDG and intiDGObject(here let me
remind that i assigned initDG as the data provider for grid and
initDGObject is a normal array collection object for which the
details are assigned to for comparison purpose) are also
modifying.So i am unable to check if any modifications are being
made before forwarding request for database modification to back
end.Please suggest me a solution for doing this task.Thanks in
advance.

lam not able to add a single object to the array
collection.Regarding the usage of datagrid in my task,there will be
a drop down on the top of datagrid with categories(like
science,maths...)in it.Whenever a particular category is selected
then the corresponding subcategories(in category science sub
categories are physics,biology.....)details will be populated in
the datagrid.Please suggest me a solution.

Assignment of colour profiles in indesign vs PDF colour profile

Hi all,
If in the assign colour profiles menu of indesign I had the same setting for all my indesign files, as shown in screenshot attached.
And then when a PDF is created from an Indesign file using a different CMYK profile, will the original indesign setting have any impact on the PDF created? Will the PDF ignore the settings of the Indesign document?
Regards, Tim

Many templates that get populated with RGB images. .... The only colour change in the process is when the final PDF is rendered to go to the printers.
So, for my master indesign files what is the best colour set up?
The PDF/X presets are designed for your scenario.
I doesn't make much sense to use any CMYK color because you never know what the destination will be and CMYK colors will almost always get reconverted. The only problem RGB presents is gamut, so when you edit, a soft proof setup with a CMYK space would be advisable. The ideal would be to establish one RGB editing space (Adobe RGB?) and assign it to all your RGB objects and ID files.
It sounds like you are expected to finalize color management at PDF creation, if that's the case PDF/X-1a forces all RGB color into one destination CMYK space and flattens transparency. When you automate the PDF creation you would need to be able to set the destination in the Output panel depending on the where the file is going.
The alternative is PDF/X-4 where there are no color conversions but every object gets a color profile. In that case the color conversions would happen at output, i.e. the PDF going to a newspaper gets converted to the newspaper's profile (SNAP?) at output. All the vendors would have to be on board for that to happen, which might not be the case.

Preview Highlighting colours not showing in other PDF viewing programs

Hi,
I'm new to OSX and today discovered that Preview can mark up PDFs with highlighted colours - pretty cool
However when the saved PDF is viewed with other programs; Adobe Reader XI on both Windows and MAC and Foxit Reader, the highlighted colours are so faint you can easily miss them and its very hard to distingiush between yellow and green.
Anyone else come across this?
Thanks
Mike

Same problem here.

Has anyone seen evidence of corrections being made to Maps?

If it was just you, then it would be understandable because Apple might be swamped with requests to correct their Maps app and they might be attending to other users' requests first.
That scenario would be awesome, because it would mean that there are corrections being made, even if they are not yours. But there is a problem. Everybody I've asked hasn't seen ANY corrections done. I hope this is not true.
So.... the question is: Can we find evidence of any corrections at all? Even one correction?
When we look at the millions... MILLIONS of user correction requests, has anyone seen a SINGLE correction done out of MILLIONS of requests. Because ZERO out of MILLIONS of requests would be very bad.
I want the Maps app to improve. I'm cheering Apple and supporting Apple. If the Maps app improves, then I would be happy and Apple users would be happy. The question is: has anyone seen any corrections??
I'm hoping there are many examples out there of people seeing corrections.

Trace function or some way to see what branching decisions are being made.

Hello,
Is there anyway to trace through a series of conditional branching items? In my 11 page form I have a case where I think I have set up the proper Show/Hide and branching conidtions, however In one senario, when testing the form I get a "Blank" page. For the life of me I can not see where this is coming from. Not sure which page it is, since there are no page numbers on the form.
I have tried 4 or 5 different methods to get around this issue. No luck. How can I see what decisions are being made behind the scene? Trace function of some kind?
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,
There's no trace functionality in the form. You can track your progress through the form by looking at the fragment ID in the address bar. The fragment ID is the "#n" portion of the URL, where n is the current page number. Here's an example form URL where the user is being shown the third page in the form.
https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=31L8g%2ArKxptaVP6jvDXKOQ#3
That should let you identify which page of your form is blank. If you need additional help with your conditional logic feel free to contact me at [email protected]

Brian

Is it possible to highlight text without a pop-up being made in Acrobat XI?

I am trying to figure out if its possible to highlight text without a pop-up being made as I am using the highlighter tool to just mark important information for quizzes and do not need a pop-up made each time I highlight! Is there a way to disable pop-ups being created? Thank you for your time.

Thanks for your reply Dave, but I want to know if a pop-up has to be created internally when highlighting. Can you disable to sticky note part of the highlight?
Here's an example: I highlight my college books and don't need all those pop-ups being made behind the scenes. In Acrobat X, all of my highlights would slow down the program immensely,
thankfully in XI, it doesn't happen at all, nor do I want it to in the future. Thank you for your time.

Auto curves colours are incorrect

Hi all,
A problem has recently popped up with the "AUTO" button on my curves adjustments.
For some reason, every time I hit auto, rather than correcting to a white balance, it puts a flesh coloured hue over everything.
For an example of what I mean, I created a brand new image, a white square 250x250. When I added a curves layer, then pushed AUTO, the colour was shifted as can be seen in this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/Qaoky.png
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks,
Andrew

Maybe the default values for the auto options have somehow changed.
Make a curves adjustment layer and from the curves panel flyout
menu, select Auto Options and check the values. (click on the
color icons to the right of each)
The default RGB values:
shadows 0,0,0
midtones 128,128,128
highlights 255,255,255
Then check save as defaults.

I need to cancel future charges from being made to my credit card.

I need to cancel future charges from being made on my credit card. I authorized one charge and I have had weekly charges ever since.

I also had some unauthorized charges on my iTunes account. However, it's not possible to find them now, in my purchase history. They were visible yesterday, but are not shown today. They *are* findable on my credit card, when the bank looks for iTunes charges on the card. A mystery, sort of.
I've sent information to iTunes support people (via their web-based form), but would also like to talk on the phone with them.
Might anyone know how to contact iTunes support directly, preferably by phone? Thanks!
