Broken PDF to printable CMYK tiff/pdf ?

Hello, my problem is the following I just got this broken (corrupt) PDF file, as in the image below. I googled a bit and noticed that I can save as-image- and save the image as a tiff and it displays properly ( unbroken ) the only problem is that the colors are in RGB value ex I have black texts which are like 76/80/53/123 (CMYK) instead of 0/0/0/100(CMYK) ; I've tried messing around with the TIFF settings to convert colors to CMYK or use a CMYK profile but nothing seemed to work; My question is can i somehow work something out of this w/o deleting the text with acrobat and retyping the whole thing ?
As you can see in the image below there are small lines that brake the image so basically im tryin to find a solution to this. Thank you

If you look carefuly on the main title, also left a bit you'll notice small lines which apparently appear on the print aswell .So far If i open the PDF with PS they still appear over there but if i save a TIFF from the actual acrobat they wont BUT the black on the text letters isnt 1 color (0/0/0/100) , but 4 (x/x/x/x/ some random convertion from RBG to CMYK ) which is a big problem for me .

Color Handling when saving Word document as PDF, containing CMYK TIFF image?

What is the proper procedure for creating PDFs from Word documents that contain a CMYK TIFF image? I have created a company logo by exporting an AI file with Pantone colors as a TIFF (with a CMYK color profile, since there is the intention of printing). Since it is a logo, color consistency is important and the utmost priority. I will be needing to insert this file into a Word document that will then be converted into a PDF.
I've read somewhere that Word automatically converts images to RGB, and also have come across potential problems of colors being changed in the final PDF through unmanaged color handling and conversions. I figured instead of running around in circles trying to find the best solution, I'd post on here. Is this procedure possible? What is the best way to do this without changing my original color profile or CMYK values of the logo being used?
This PDF has the intention of being placed online for offices to print/publish.
Thanks!

Though actually, let's take a step back -- why do you want to use CMYK? Most offices won't be using PostScript printers, so the CMYK will be converted to RGB for printing. For publishing - do you know the required CMYK profile to use for all possible publishing scenarios? Properly tagged RGB is generally considered the way to deal with this in modern workflows not targeted at a specific press. But still probably not with Word!

Applescript vs PDF more pages vs Tiff

Does anyone know a script that can makes tiff images from a multipage PDF.
I don't know how to automate this procces in photoshop, Because the PDF files have more or less pages and I need a tiff image from every page.
Does anyone know this. So a folder with PDF files and make tiff images from every page of every PDF. Keeping the file name and add the page number at the end?
PDF : 2008-merging.pdf / 2008-merging.pdf-p1.tiff / 2008-merging.pdf-p2.tiff / ...
If you know this , it would be great if you want to share it.

FM9 Save CMYK As PDF again: different results for instances of one character

Hi,
A customer sent me an FM9 document that uses the Symbol font. When he saves the document as PDF, without converting CMYK to RGB, one instance of a character in this font appears in the PDF as a different character in the same font. Other instances of the same character in the same document are fine. Saving as PDF changing CMYK to RGB produces correct results.
Does this sound like the usual don't-use-CMYK-and-Save-as-PDF-with-FM9 type of problem? Or should we look for something else?
Minor variations of the document cause the problem to go away:
1. Deleting some earlier instances of characters in this font cause the problematic one to appear as expected.
2. Some characters in this font occur in tables. Converting those tables to paragraphs "fixes" the problem.
3. Saving as PDF under Win 7 from FM10 and FM 11 produces expected results.
We have only seen the problem on a Win 7 system. On Vista and XP, we get correct results. Editing the document on Vista and saving it as PDF on Win 7, however, fails. A MIF wash does not fix it. Deleting and reinserting the problematic character or the table row in which it occurs does not fix it. While the original document was structured, removing structure did not fix it. Nor did changing master pages.
We started with a longer document and repeatedly deleted content until we had a much shorter document that fails. Somewhere along the line, the erroneous character changed
We can change the documents for this project to convert CMYK. I just don't know if doing so simply masks one particular instance of a general problem, or if CMYK is the real problem.
Thoughts?
--Lynne

Lynne,
The FM9 and first versions of FM10 (fixed with the 10.0.2 patch) had very buggy behaviours if the SaveAsPDF to CMYK option was used. Many fonts (notably OTF Pro and WGL-TT fonts) would drop characters or even entire blocks of text. The RGB option worked properly. The underlying cause was in part to due to using the old Unix Level1 PS header code for the postscript headers in the CMYK mode.
If the client still has to use FM9 and needs proper CMYK, then I would highly recommend that they use Jacob Schäffer's PubliPDF (now on a GPL license, i.e. a freebie). This maps the postscript RGB output colours to CMYK via user specified settings before invoking Distiller.

Conversion to PDF lightens blacks (CMYK)!

Hello,
I noticed that converting a document to PDF with Acrobat lightens blacks in the CMYK space.
In fact, converting that same PDF document once more to PDF lightens blacks once more! This happens whether I select in the Colours option "Convert all colours to CMYK" or "Leave colour unchanged".
In fact, CMY and K are altered in the conversion. In other words, in the process of making the PDF, Acrobat changes the colours even when selecting "Leave colour unchanged" to a point that it's noticeable on screen.
I believe the original file was in RGB colour space - blacks set to R=G=B=0. Opening the first PDF (having gone through 1 pdf conversion: original file -> PDF1) in Photoshop CMYK-16bit mode yields rich blacks (with values for all CMYK). Opening the second PDF (having gone through 2 pdf conversions: original file -> PDF1 ->PDF2) in Photoshop shows pure black (C=M=Y=0, K=100)!
So Acrobat, regardless of the colour conversion setting, appears to convert blacks to rich blacks in the first PDF conversion, and back to pure black (C=M=Y=0, K=100) in the second conversion, which looks a little more grey than rich black.
I have seen this happen in Acrobat 8 and 9, and I am using the Print option (not "Save As") to make the PDF file, choosing "Acrobat PDF" as the printer.
Can someone explain:
1- Why this is happening?
2- How to fix it? (i.e. leave the blacks unchanged through the PDF conversion)
Thanks.

Lisa,
The solution suggested by VAN may work perfectly for you in regard to on-line viewing, but will most likely not work in print.
The solution suggested by Sheila is more general and will also enable proper conversion for prepress PDF's. To do it you'll need to create a custom color map, that remap the RGB-color from Heading1 to the CMYK (or SPOT) color from the logo art.
To create a custom color map in Grafikhuset Publi PDF you simply right-click the Publi PDF icon in the system tray, select the Attended Queue you want to use, and then turn on automatic creation of color maps in the Optimizer section of the pop-up menu. This will prompt you with an interface that allow you to create new spot colors -- next time you print to the queue.
Clicking the "Convert to" field for each listed Gray, RGB, CMYK or other spot color allow you to remap colors exactly as your job require. When finished you can save the color map for later use. You may actually attach it to the queue, so you don't need to enter new information each time you print (If you attach it to the queue you should switch off the automatic color map creation, since its OFF state assure that the analysis phase is skipped and conversion is run directly without prompting).
Note: due to a font-error with input fields in the color map editor you must have XP themes enabled, i.e. the classic Windows 2000 interface still works, but will display text and numbers as WingDings (fixed with a patch coming soon).
Hope this helps.

I need to convert hundreds of TRANSPARENT PDFs into PNG or TIFF

I need to convert hundreds of TRANSPARENT PDFs into PNG or TIFF.
That's not possible with Acrobat. It’s possible to convert hundreds of PDFs into PNG or TIFF using batch processing. But transparency is LOST!
Photoshop is the only software I know of which is able to keep transparency when converting from PDF to PNG.
But now I have problems to get batch processing running.
I made an Action with “Open file”, “Save as PSD” and “Export to PNG”.
Using this Action in batch-process-files with source as a folder with many PDFs and target as a different folder results in many opened PDFs within Photoshop. Nothing else happens:-(.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Norbert

Great:)
It worked at once.
Thank you so much for this link.

Any way to convert PDF document in to Tiff format with inbuilt IBR features

Is there any way to convert PDF document in to Tiff format with inbuilt IBR features?
In our Webcenter Portal app, we create the PDF document with the content of ADF pages and check it in UCM using RIDC api.
There will some batch job which will retrieve the documents from UCM and send them to client internal Document management system. The client / batch job will only process TIFF files. So we need a way to convert the PDF into TIFF. We are okie to have both PDF and TIFF stored in UCM.
When i have done research, i could only see components like PDFexport or TIFFConverter which only converts the other formats into PDF. But i am expecting a reverse conversion. Is it possible ? Thanks

Acrobat XI PRO: Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically in top, after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file

Hey
I have now tried for hours, but now I give up!
MY WISH -
Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file.
I have already bookmarks, shown on the screen (see screenshot below) but I want those bookmark to be visualised in a separate TOC in the top of the combined files.
This new TOC (which I have inserted) shall be printable and serve as a cover page in a binder.
I have seen other cheap pdf.programs in the market (e.g. PDF Converter Professional 7.3) which are able to make the above things, easy, fast and nice.

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

Quark / PDF Printing Problems (Save as PDF in OS X)

I upgraded from Quark 4.1 to 6.5 about a year ago, and ever since then the files I create and print don't look as good. The primary issue seems to be color -- colors don't come out as deep, there seems to be less color saturation, sometimes colors are just pretty far off. I'm working in Mac OS 10.4.8.
For many years my method has been to design documents and output as PDFs to be professionally printed. These days my PDFs don't print as well. I suspect that the problem has to do with the process of creating the PDF. In Quark 6.5 I create PDFs by selecting "Save as PDF" from Quark's Print menu. Back when I was using 4.1, since Quark didn't have a built-in PDF-creator, I would go into the Chooser, select AdobePS as my printer, and then just choose Print in Quark and it would "print" to a PDF.
One other problem I've had since the upgrade is that the PDFs Quark creates are HUGE files -- tens or hundreds of megs -- often too large to email. When I used to create PDFs from the identical Quark files using 4.1, the resulting PDFs printed much better and were much smaller files (often far less than 1 meg). Solving the color problem is a higher priority for me than solving the file size issue, though.
I've spent a lot of time trying to troubleshoot this with our local printer here in Albany, NY (the same guy who printed my stuff in the old days, when it came out looking a lot better). Things we've tried that haven't seemed to solve the problem:
- Increasing the LPI to 300
- Checking the box for Full Resolution Tiff Output
- Experimenting with OPI active and not
- Experimenting with different PDF options like "Save as PDF," "Compress PDF," "PDF-X," etc. (Compress PDF does result in smaller PDFs, but the quality of the resulting prints is even worse)
Also, if anyone has suggestions about Quark-specific forums I could post this to, let me know. I tried creating an account on the discussion forms on Quark's website, but I don't receive their confirmation email to confirm my account.
Any advice greatly appreciated -- thanks so much!

Marshall,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
colin clarke1’s info is spot on. I will add a bit more. Acrobat Professional includes Distiller in addition to a print driver called Adobe PDF 7.0 (version number matches version of Acrobat). I think the print driver installs automatically, but if not, you should choose to install it and then it will show in your list of printers. This will allow you to make PDFs from Quark XPress much as you did with Quark 4.1.
Distiller comes with some pre-defined Settings (formerly know as Job Options) for different types of printing, i.e., Smallest file (low-resolution like online viewing), Standard, High Quality, Press Quality and others. These Settings are general standards in the industry in terms amount and type of image compression, font embedding, color management, compatibility with previous Acrobat versions and etc.
colin clarke1’s method of saving a Quark doc as a PostScript and then distilling it is one method. (You can set this in your Quark Preferences.) Alternatively, you could do the following within Quark XPress…
(a) Select Print, which brings up the Print window. At the bottom of the window are some buttons. Click on Page Setup and in its window, for Format for: select the Adobe PDF 7/8, the appropriate Paper size and then OK.
(b) Returning to the Quark print window, make all the necessary choices for Layout, Setup, Output, Options, Layers, Bleed, OPI and Profiles.
(c) Next, click on the button Printer (at the bottom) which brings up a Mac OS print window. Click to the right of Printer and select Adobe PDF 7/8. Next, click and hold on Copies & Pages for a drop-down list of options and select PDF Options. Click on the bar to the right of Adobe PDF Settings and a list of Distiller Settings will pop up and select the one that best fit the type of printing you are doing, e.g., Press Quality. If you want to see the PDF version afterwards, then select Acrobat for After PDF Creation. Click Ok.
(d) Returning to the Quark print window, click Print button (lower right). A Save window appears for you to name your document and select where you wish to save in on your computer. (If you choose to see the PDF afterwards, then Acobat will launch and the PDF will then appear in Acrobat.)
You could learn more about the latest version of Acrobat 8.0 (released November 2006) by Adobe’s “tour” at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/productinfo/features/
Hope this helps.

How do I embed a pdf document into an existing pdf so that the user double clicks on the pdf object within the pdf and it opens? i've looked everywhere on various forums and tried attachments - but still not working. Thanks

I've tried various methods but to no avail. I have a pdf document and within the pdf I'd like to embed a couple pdf documents so that all the user has to do is double click on the pdf object inside the pdf and it opens in a new window. I've tried using attachments to do it and linking it...but to no avail. Anyone know how to do? I'm using Acrobat Pro Version 11. Thanks

The "embed" feature common to MS Office applications is not applicable to PDF (for the why and wherefore of PDF get comfortable and read the ISO Standard for PDF - ISO 32000-1:2008).
You can insert other PDF files' pages into any given PDF.
You can attach files of supported formats to a PDF (of course a PDF is supported).
You cannot "embed". So, nothing is broken.
Be well...

Help!!! I can't save multiple PDF documents into one single PDF! Need answers!

Hello!
I'm trying to save a very large PDF file. I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. There are about 200 plus pages and I'm trying to save merged PDF files as one single PDF document. I've compressed the PDF's as much as I could prior to saving. For some reason, the process of saving it as a single file takes a long time and usually doesn't work. Will a higher version of Adobe be faster? I was told that Adobe X is a 32 bit program and that could be why it's running slow. I'm unfamiliar with how it all works so I'm hoping someone could offer a simple explanation as to why this is happening and a solution on how to make something as simple as saving a document, go faster.
Thank you!

Best to keep the replies in the other post, but I wanted to comment on something you said "I was told that Adobe X is a 32 bit program and that could be why it's running slow." Yes, it's a 32 bit program. No, it's complete nonsense to say that 32 bit programs run slow. There seems to be a general belief that 64 bit is better because, well, because, um, because it's a bigger number so it must be, right? Sorry, I'm not mocking you, but there is such nonsense about this, that I think software makers are having to put a lot of effort into making 64 bit software for no good reason at all.
