Blacks turn dark grey after exporting to pdf from InDeign cs6

Exactly what the title says. The one on the right is from Indesign....the left one is after exporting (the same in preview and acrobat reader).Anyone know why this happens?

In this case it looks like the color change is because the color mangement settings are not sync'd and not a color conversion—if there was a CMYK-to-CMYK conversion on export the image wouldn't show through.
ID, Acrobat, and Preview all display some black CMYK mixes as something other than absolute black, but the preview depends on the color settings so there could be a shift if they don't match.

Having trouble exporting to pdf from InDesign CS6

When I attempt to export to pdf from InDesign CS6, the application crashes. Apparently there is some phantom plug-in issue.
I need to get this resolved asap.
Thank you,
Marissa

Have a look at this generic document to help you troubleshoot: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/troubleshoot-printing-pdf-export-indesign.html
Could you also provide details about what you've tried, and what errors you encountered? Is this problem limited to a particular document, or all documents?

White text appears black/grey after export to PDF - but only on a PC!

I use Pages to make flyers in A4-format. But 8 out of 10 times I make one, convert it to PDF and send it to my boss via Mail, I get a reply where he says that everything looks good but the text.
I have a colored background or image with white text on top in its own layer.
This problem has been tauting me for several weeks now, and I thought I had the soloution recently when I started to make sure that the text layer where brought to the front (top layer). But still i get the message back that the text is either black or dark grey and can´t be read on his PC. It looks fine on my Mac, but not on his XP/Vista computer.
- I usually convert using the "Better" compression mode.
- I tried to convert it using Print - Print to PDF but the problem persists.
- I have deleted the plist-file as well. Same problem.
But since this doesnt happen with all my flyers, I am beginning to think that there is something I am doing "wrong" while making the flyer or that there is some kind of "rule" that I dont know about. Or is it an unstable PDF-export algorithm?
Can anybody help me please?

Too long export to PDF from Indesign CS6

When I exporting PDF from InDesign CS6 takes too long. For example, a few minutes (5minutes). In InDesign CS3, which I used earlier, the file is exported immediately (few seconds). It is a problem in setting or higher hardware requirements?
I use laptop 2GB dual processor, 8GB RAM, Windows Vista 32 bit. You have a similar experience?

It is strange that CS6 supports Windows XP and Windows7 and Vista does not support. I use 8GB RAM because I bought a laptop so. There for me any solution, how to enable CS6 InDesign with the 32 bit system Windows Vista?

Trying to export to PDF from InDesign CS6 but nothing happens

I'm in InDesign CS6 and when I export to PDF, nothing happens. I have other files with the same format and they are exporting fine. I tried putting all the content into a new document but it still doesn't work. Has anyone else had this issue?
Thank you!

Exporting to PDF from Fireworks CS6 - Hotspots float left

Has anyone witnessed this same instance?
When I export to PDF, my rectangle hotspots are on the document, but floating off the page! Help please!
Thank you.
N8

I had to rebuild the file from scratch in order to export the pdf, and the hotspots line up accurately to their originally location drawn on fireworks.
This may have occurred because I began the document with a canvas size of portrait letter, but changed the canvas size later to landscape letter, and although everything looked well and fine, the export was still triggering the old referential data in the file.

Problem exporting to PDF from ID CS6. Objects are missing in PDF.

Hello!
I created a large format poster (24x36 inches) in ID CS6 to be printed. My printer requires PDF files to print from. My problem is that when I export my ID file to PDF, objects are missing. For example, in this file, the company logo in the upper left corner of the poster is incomplete (missing the orange color fill with white text in orange circle.) This object was originally created in AI CS6 then imported to the ID document.
I am pulling my hair out trying to fix this and have not been able to find like issues online. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!!!!

The missing object is visible with Overprint Preview turned on.

Why does black turn grey when creating a pdf from InDesign CS5??

Why do blacks turn to grey when I create/export a pdf from InDesign CS5?

Unfortunately, things like this are rarely glitchy little programming errors but deep, by-design, problems with using colour management. Usually you are getting exactly what you asked for, just not what you want, and the more colour management options there are, the more likely this is.
There are many possible causes, but one of the easiest to do is and hardest to spot is applying a CMYK profile in InDesign export, and a different one through Photoshop settings. This is actually demanding that colours be converted for the worst! Since your print workflow will be different, a work-around of rich black is likely to make things worse.
So the first thing to check is whether the colours you indended made it to the PDF, indeed. Output Preview is the first tool to use (as well as inspecting plates, you can hover over points to check the colour mix).
Also, go to your PDF export under the "Output" tab which includes colour and PDF/X. Either send a screen shot, or read off all of the the settings there.

Can I change the workspace color in Photoshop Elements 12, to Black or dark grey?

Can I change the workspace in Photoshop Elements 12, to black or dark grey? I do not like the light grey, around my tools.

You can use PhotoInfo to change the dates on a single or batch of photos. You can even do it within iPhoto by selecting PhotoInfo as the editor to use when you double click on a photo. But iPhoto won't recognize the changes unless it's exported and reimported. You can use PhotoInfo to batch check/change your photos before importing into iPhoto.
What I've done is to export the full sized images to a folder on the desktop, named the folder the same as the roll they were in, run Photoinfo on the batch and then drag the folder into the open iPhoto. Then delete the original roll. Works fine.

Iphone 5 screen turned dark grey with random lines, Help!

So I was playing a game on my Iphone 5 when all of the sudden I get to the boss. Then the Phone's screen starts turning dark grey with lines streacking across it in clusters and the lines moving randomly. Then after a few moments the phone was complety dark grey. If i pressed the lock button it would turn off and again turn on to the same screen. I could somtimes barley make out the power bar on the top. Lastly I tried restarting it by holding the lock button and the home button and then it just turned off and wont turn on.
Here is what I know that could connect with the issue:
- Recently my phone has constantly given me a error message about a uncertified thing being connected into it when nothing was connected to it! And trust me I havent been jail breacking or putting knock off stuff in it or anything like that.
- The Only thing That I have been charing with is a USB plug that I conenct into my computer to charge and it is slighty broken but manages to work.
- Lastly which is proably a main factor of the issue, water may have gone inside the phone.
Does anyone have advice on what causes the damage and if not what fees am I looking at?

Hi
The Nickys tip is not bad but I think you cannot be 100% sure about the fault if the notebook was not checked. Therefore the ASP should check the display and the FL inverter functionality and then you will get the proper answer about the fault.
But as mentioned it seems the graphic and the board are ok therefore it must be something like the FL inverter.
It would be very interesting to know what was wrong. Please post again if you have more news. Good luck

It looks like the 2 DLLs you mentioned, are getting corrupted or modified due to some operation that might have been performed on them. Can you please try the below mentioned instructions and see if that gets your application to install without any errors:
1. Try installing your business app.
2. When you see the error message as stated, try running the below mentioned commands: (Start | Run | Type cmd and hit Enter)
    regsvr32 LTKRN11n.dll /i /s
    regsvr32 LTKRN11n.dll /s
    regsvr32 LTDIS11n.dll /i /s
    regsvr32 LTDIS11n.dll /s
3. The above commands should fix the issues in the mentioned DLLs and allow normal installation of your business app.
Hope this gets your app to work and install properly.

Occasionally, some of the image borders turn dark grey (medium grey is the default) and then random other images cannot be opened with a double click. They only open when selected using the arrows on the keyboard. They also cannot be moved to collections. Anyone have a solution for this?

When you say "could not be opened"- what are you referring to? A double click of the mouse should view the clicked image in Loupe view- the same as pressing [E] on the keyboard for an enlarged view. (And a second double-click will take you back to library grid view.)
To "open" an image in the Development module requires you to select the image then press [D] or click on the [Develop] button.
When you say "could not be ...moved" -what are you referring to? Are you trying to move an image file from its place in a folder to another folder? Are you just wanting it in a collection? When you drag an image to a collection you are only placing a link to the image in the collection- not actually moving any file. The image will stay exactly where it is in its original folder and will remain as a thumbnail preview in the Library Grid view.
Are you having any "mouse" problems that may be changing its actions in LR ?
Do you see an exclamation mark on any image borders ?
Let's keep working on this. I am curious to see you find an answer.

Exporting a pdf from InDesign-need to access Overprint

I am exporting an InDesign CS5.5 Document with mixed ink and Illustrator eps with pantone overprints.
When I export it into PDF the native mixed ink in InDesign represent accurately.
However the Illustrator eps preview as solid gray @ 70%. This is the overprint layer onto of Pantone 293.
When I turn on Print preview in pdf it is accurate.
My question is:
In the export to pdf palette under the output header, there is a check box 'simulate overprint'.
I've tried several different variations, but cannot get that check box to turn on.
Unlease I make an X-1a file the overprint for the Illustrator eps does not preview without turning on the output preview palette in Acrobat.
And lets face it, to the client, that is rocket science.
How can I access the 'Simulate Overrpint' option when I am exporting the document.
Thanks,
J-

Or, better than that, export the PDF from InDesign as PDF/X-4!
By default, Acrobat and Reader use overprint preview when displaying PDF/X-4 files. Plus you have the benefit of full color management and not having transparency ruined by premature flattening.
One other note. Other than for the fairly common practice of overprinting black text over colors to avoid halo effects due to registration, one should be exceptionally careful in using overprint. Trapping, the other good, justifiable use for overprint is really best performed by the RIP. Most modern RIPs provide for automatic trapping. Overprint should absolutely not be used as a “poor man's transparency,” especially in conjuction with spot colors. With the advent of real transparency in the Adobe imaging model and hence in Illustrator, InDesign, and PDF, there is no good reason to use overprint hacks anymore to simulate transparency.
