Basic feather does not carry to PDF in CS4

Using InDesign CS4 6.0.5 on Mac OS X 10.4.11
A client supplied a file that has a single piece of art going across a 2-page spread. The art frame has "basic feather" applied to soften the edges. When we create a PDF of this spread, the feather shows up fine on the right page. But the feather doesn't show up at all on the left page. The art is simply cropped at the frame edge! This happens whether we make a PDF of both pages at once, or one page at a time. I even tried duplicating the frame and cropping it so each page has only its own frame.
We're creating PDFs by printing to Postscript files, and then distilling w/ Acrobat Distiller.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Are you sure the printer won't accept a properly exported PDF from InDesign? You should ask. Most printer specs that require distilled PDF are ancient and reflect that early versions of Quark were incapable of producing a usable PDF by exporting. Try sending a PDF exported to PDF/X1-a standards and see if they can RIP it.
It they tell you no, it's time to seriously look for a printer who has moved into the 21st century, or stop using advanced features in your designs.

Why Bridge (CS5) does not make a PDF file from multiple images

Why Bridge (CS5) does not make a PDF file from multiple images? It used to work fine earlier, but now nothing happens when using OUTPUT for web or PDF.
I have uninstalled and installed my PS three times allready, so please not suggest that, it didn't help.
I have Creative Suite Premium, mac os x 10.6.8

Hi. You’ve posted your question in a forum that is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop. I'm moving your question to the Bridge forum for specialized attention to your situation.

Android does not support 3D PDF?

How disappointing, we just purchased an Asus A500 10.1 “Android 2.2
Tablet and the Adobe Reader does not support 3D PDF.....I know Tetra 4D
are the developer for 3D PDF SDK and features however under the agreement/partnership Adobe
was to support the Free Readers.
It would appear Adobe has really dropped 3D inside
PDF - thnx Adob's
Gazzzz

HI Dave,
Thanks for the update. I think your comments may have been valid when mobile devices = mobile phones.
However the tables are more like a PCs now with quite resonable graphics ablilties - surely we can get
better functionality for our PDF now. "You can read text and images, you can search, that is basically it" - PDFwise, this is a step back in functionality - Android has the same functionality as iPAD...In a simlar question to Tetra 4D they (and Adobe) said that are working on a "port" but would not happen til Q3 this year.
Maybe the way forward is the Asus Slate Table, -an i5, 4 RAM, 64 SDHD, running Windows touch - Android does not seem to yet the functionality I was hoping for.
In a plus, Tetra 4D seem to pulling the industry in the right direction - fingers crossed

Error from reports from ZAM(Graph or PDF) - File does not begin with '%PDF-'.

I just noticed today that any Graph or PDF report I try to view I get the
following error - Error from reports from ZAM - File does not begin with
'%PDF-'. I tried to just save the file and then open it, but get the same
error. I can open other pdf files I have downloaded from other sites ok.
Anyone have any idea? I haven't done anything to that server that I am
aware of in quite a while.
Thanks
Bill

I took a closer look at the files it downloaded, opened them with notepad,
haer is what it says:
XSL Transform or subsequent processing failedThe document has no pages.

Srikavi,
Which rendering engine are you using? BI Publisher? Apache FOP? Did you follow the steps outlined here when you configured PDF printing:

PO PDF Error - File does not Begin with '%PDF-'

Hi,
I am working on Implementing PO PDF with XML data and RTF Template. I have created a new template in XML Publisher and followed the following set up steps
Setup / Organizations / Purchasing Options / Control TAB / set 'PO Output Format' = 'PDF'
setup / purchasing / document types / select "Standard Purchase Order" / Set the Document Type Layout to your new template.
When I view the document from PO Summary > inquire > View Document, I get an adobe reader error
'File does not begin with '%PDF-', how ever when I preview it from the template definition, it opens fine.
I tried running PO Output for communication with my custom template but I don't see the parameter 'Purchase Order Layout'. The last parameter in the list is 'Include Blanket'.
Am I missing any set up steps? However when I use the standard Purchase Order Layout in Document Types set up, the Inquire > View Document created a PDF output.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sharmila

I encountered same error in BPA Invoice Print. I remove a MLS function from the program definition and this error disappeared. Have not fully investigated but maybe this will help. Thanks.

Hyperlink with tracking applied does not work in PDF

We use lots of web addresses in our advertising and generally the web addresses automatically convert to hyperlinks when we distill the files and make PDFs. Recently we've had two instances where someone applied tracking or justification to the line of text containing the url to make it spread across the page. When we make our PDF the url is not clickable. Is there anyway around this? We tried actually creating a hyperlink manually in InDesign by using the Hyperlinks panel and entering the address, but that didn't work either.

Peter,
We'll look into that. We already do two separate PDFs for print and web, but
we are distilling both right now. Wouldn't be too much of a problem to
change to exporting the web version I don't think.
I did a test, just curious, is there a way to keep it from putting a black
box around the link on the PDF?
Thanks for your help! We appreciate it!

Subject: Hyperlink with tracking applied does not work in PDF
Distilled PDF uses Postscript which does not support hyperlinks and
interactivity. To make your hyperlinks in ID you'll need to export and check
the Include Hyperlinks and Include Interactiviity boxes.
Your printer doesn't need hyperlinks because they don't work on a printed
page. The requirements for print and interactive PDF are quite different, and
you may find you need to make two versions.

IMac does not carry on the system.

Hi All.
I am having a very strange situation with my iMac (IOS updated).
When I woke it from sleep, could not type the password on the box. I forced it to turn off (held the button in the back). Next time I turned the machie on, the opening sound was OK, the apple was there at the center of the white screen, and the spinning wheel was rolling. Normally the spinning wheel rolls for some moments, the the box for the password appears and we go on. This time, the spinning wheel keeps rolling for some 3-5 minutes, them the apple in the center of the screen is replaced by the symbol of a circle crossed by a straight line from right-botton up to left-up, somethig like a traffic sign for a forbidden way. And the system does not carry on.
Does any one know a process to pss it and carry on the system?
Best,
Sergio

Aqua, i still need help. The system came from Apple repair with OSX version 10.6.8 (I had Lion on it) and I am trying to recover my time machine backup, but the HD is not accepting to be the destiny of the recovery. Probably something is avoiding it but I can't find. Do you know how to do it?

How can you sort bookmarks in the Sidebar by date added? Works in Library but does not carry over to Sidebar.

When opening the Bookmarks Sidebar, the oldest bookmarks added are at the very top, easily visible.
The most recent bookmarks added are at the bottom, requiring me to scroll all the way down every time I want to visit a recent bookmark. This is a major nuisance. I'm actually a little shocked that this happens when it's such an obvious hassle.
How can I flip the list of bookmarks so the newest ones are right at the top where I can easily access them?
Sorting in the Library does not carry over to the Sidebar as far as I can tell.

Looks as though the SortPlaces add-on should be able to do it.
