Black Outline Frame!!!!

I'm running 10.4.8 and I didn't had any problems until my last reboot when a black outline frame started to be everywhere, around icons in menu items and in almost all programs dialog boxes.Also some choices in the finder Menu are doubleshowned. How can't I can't get rid of this graphic effect.
Thanks in advance

Hi Enzo2;
May I welcome you to the Apple Discussion Forums.
Do you have Voiceover in Universal Access in System Preferences turned on? This can cause that problem.

Please help -- SHADOWS APPEAR as BLACK OUTLINES when I EXPORT to PDF

Hi all,
I have designed a product catalog in InDesign. I retouched product in PS and dropped an "outer glow" and "drop shadow" Layer Style onto the products and saved them with a transparent background in a .PSD format. The files were then Placed into the InDesign document.
The pages print just as they appear when I print from InDesign, however, I would like to be able to email this document out to retailers, but when I Export as a PDF, the images with shadows appear as if they are stroked with a sloppy/irregular black line in place of the shadows...
Please help me resolve.
Could it be due to the compression?
Thoughts? Alternatives?
Thanks so much,
Andrew

Bob,
I'm sorry for the delayed reply.
Here is the catalog I designed. If you flip through it, you will see that some of the t-shirts have this black outline in place of the "outer glow effect"
I am using CS3.
My workflow was this:
Brought photo into PS > masked out background > deleted selected to Transparent background > Placed graphic in new layer over Tshirt image > Saved file as TIFF > Placed TIFF into InDesign document > Export InDesign document to PDF
Thoughts?

Black outlines around images in pdfs from Indesign

I'm not sure if this is an Indesign problem or Acrobat. I have imported several photoshop files in which I have deleted the background around the figures. The background is transparent. When I make a pdf from Indesign, there is a black outline that appears, tracing the edge of the figures. Does anyone know what might cause this and how to fix. I have imported this kind of file many times with no problems.

Check if they're RGB in PS. I had this problem recently when exporting to PDF. It didn't show in ID file but showed in PDF. I converted to CMYK, relinked, and exported new PDF and the problem went away.

PDF has strange black outline at printers end?

Hi all
I am trying to send a PDF of a book to a printing company in Japan (clients choice!), and I am doing everything I would usually do, supplying with crop marks and bleed.
When they open the PDF it seems to have cropped many of the pages and put a black outline around it.
I insert a screen shot (note this is page 7. Page 6 is NOT white, therefore it has removed the crop on the left side!)
Any advice gratefully received. At my end, some of the pages do seem to have a black outline for some reason on my PDF but they fall outside of the crop marks.
Thanks!

Black outline appeared after accidental button mashing.

After accidentally button mashing my keyboard a black outline now appears over anything that pressing "tab" and anything I type in or click on. It happens all over the computer not just Safari, also while scrolling it does not stay with the typing box it says in the same place on screen. While trying to fix it my Apple Menu now has the following options -Force Quit... -Force Quit Safari -Restart... -Restart -Shut Down... -Shut Down -Log Out __... -Log Out __. Also Under Safari and File -Private Browsing... -Private Browsing -Close Window -Close Window -Close All Windows -Close All Windows.
Im sure it can be turned off but how?

You've turned Voice Over on. Command F5 will turn it off. (Or open the System Preferences and look for the Accessibility tab - last in the third row I think)

White screen and black outlines for the icons!!!

No problem.
Options or Settings... is normally an icon that looks like a gear or a wrench, and will have "Settings" or "Options" underneath it. Normally.

CS3 to CS2 conversion black outlines appearing

Hello!
I hope that someone can help, please. Our company has recently upgraded to InDesign CS3. However, when someone saves a file as a .inx interchange so that someone still using CS2 can view it, all the vector image files in the InDesign file then all have black outlines around them. I've seen this as a problem on here with PDFing before, but this is just when the file is opened and hasn't been PDFed at all.
Many thanks in advance.
Helen

Yes, we knew it would never be a breeze, but we've had other people who have been lucky enough not to have problems, so just wondered if it was something we were doing that was causing the problem.
Thanks, I'll try and get a colleague to make a screenshot as I'm just the IT fixer, I'm not actually working on the files in question.

Thick black outlines on .swf in interactive .pdf

When viewing an interactive .pdf with a .swf embedded file, all the elements of the animation appear with a think black outline on some windows machines.
Anyone else have this issue?

Placing a SWF into InDesign, and creating an interactive PDF is a bad hack, or as my friend Sandee Cohen said yesterday, a "kludge."
Those of us who were initially excited about the idea have concluded that it's just not a good idea. The SWF file becomes like a movie file, and you have absolutely no controls over it.

Weird Black Outlines?

Hello,
While working on my G5 with the lastest version of Tiger, I started getting black outlines around Hard drive icons, scroll arrows, the scroll bar, a whole range of odd places. I also am now getting two "Force Quite....," "Retart," Shut Down," and "log out" choices in the apple pull down menu. The first or top one is proceeded by 3 dots in each case.
Why am I getting these things? I made a change in Ownership and Permission to a document before this happen. Is this related?
Thanks, Drew Harty

Hi,
Thanks, that fixed the problem. In the past though when I've hit the F5 key by mistake (same as part of a command I use in Photoshop all day long), the computer actually starts speaking. Didn't do it this time?

Mysterious Black outline around selected items???

This morning, when I started my computer there is a Black outline appearing around the selected item or window throughout my system... For example; around the icon/folder/file selected in the finder, around the entire Safari browser window, around various items in Mail- the inbox portion, around where the flagged message icon would appear when a message is selected. etc. The same thing is happening in some other programs as well. Everything appears to be working just fine & I have tried restarting, repairing permissions, cleaning cashe, zap P-RAM, etc. Any idea what is causing this?? Is it a problem. or just something screwy that will hopefully go away? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jeremy

Found the answer.. Turned VoiceOver Off. Must have gotten accidentally turned on Last Friday after too many F5 refreshes during the woot!-Off!!!

How to get rid of black outline boxes persisting on screen

Black outline boxes have started appearing around objects and icons that I’ve clicked on or text areas I've filled in. Sometimes these boxes persist on the screen in its original location until I go to a new program.
For example – in PhotoShop, a black outline box appeared on the vertical slider area and then stayed in the same location on the screen until I switched to Safari – which then got it’s own boxes.
I have a clear 20” Cinema Display.

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences and check if VoiceOver is turned on; if so, turn it off.

What is this weird black outline???

What is this weird little black outline surrounding the things I select? It's very annoying and I want to get rid of it. I know I got it when I mistyped a keyboard shortcut. It's happened before but I caught it immediately and got rid of it, and now I don't remember what keyboard shortcut it was. Please Help!
Below are some screenshots of what it looks like and where it has appeared, but it's showing up everywhere and driving me crazy...

Hi Josh and welcome to Apple Discussions.
The shortcut you want is Command F5, which enables Voiceover in System Preferences>Universal Access.
Good luck,
Adrian

Indesign document PDFs with Black outline around pages ... and ...

Hi guys
I have posted this problem in the acrobat section but have thought it could be an indesign issue also.
Basically I am PDFing an InDesign CC document with crop and bleed for a printer. For some reason, on some pages, it adds a black/grey outline to pages, and in some cases seems to crop the page so there is no bleed.
Any thoughts? Original post with image can be seen here: PDF has strange black outline at printers end?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Rob. This is not the case - I know this as other pages in the document have there bleed correct (5mm all around). I have resolved the black outline issue, but now have this bleed issue. On my screen the PDF looks fine but for some reason when the printer opens it, they do not get the bleed on the left edge!
Thanks

Black "picture frame" around window

A strange black "picture frame" shows up around windows which are active. Doesn't show up on Entourage. Appears like a non-damaging virus, but I don't know what it could be. Any ideas how to get rid of it?

Hello teddyloop,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
It looks like VoiceOver was activated. Head to *System Preferences -> Universal Access* and click on the Seeing tab and there is where you should be able to turn it off.

Help! Keynote - Trying to add a black outline to a font for readability

I use a lot of pictures for backgrounds. Often the fonts get very hard to read over the varied colors of the background. Is there a way to outline a font with a black outline so that it is easier to read over picture backgrounds??

Welcome to the Forum.
I have tried to do this with minimal success using the Shadow effect with a very small offset and blur. sometimes it will be OK, but not in all situations - especially when the text is over a complex photograph or one with colors similar to the text itself.
What I have found works better is to use the Shapes menu to create a rectangle that is exactly the same size as the text block, place it behind the text but in front of the picture, and then reduce the Opacity of the rectangle until it is visible just enough to provide definition to the text but not be seen as a "mask." A black rectangle under white or yellow text seems to work best, but you can experiment with other colors to find a combination that is most appropriate for your slides.
Good luck
