Converting CMYK doc to RGB, one page behaving odd

I've got a problem spent the last two days trying to problem solve....
I have a print doc (CMYK) using black and a spot colour.
I then need a web version of the same material, in a different layout, so I've copied the pages to a web doc (RGB).
This copying brings the spot into the RGB doc.
So after copying I delete spot from swatch and assign a standard RGB value.
This changes all the spot colours to the RGB value as expected.
Everything looks right in InDesign, after exporting the PDF the first 10 pages show the colour correctly, then the last page only is way off the correct colour. It looks correct in InDesign and everything is RGB.
Anyone know what's going on?
Why is just one page being weird?
I've tried:
- added new material to the problem page and assigned the RGB colour, appear correct InDesign, PDF way off
- duplicating an okay page, copying in the new material.
any advice would be really apprecited!

Do you know what the ink manager is and how it works? You can output a spot color as anything you like without cahnging the actual definition.
In the example below the frame is filled with Pantone 386c, a bright yellow. I created a new Spot color in RGB mode that is a salmony color, then in Ink manager I first aliased the Panton to the new swatch, then clicked the icon next to the new swatch to output that color as process (and the process equivalent is RGB in this case). If there are no Spots that actually need to be printed, you can also just click the All Spots to Process box instread of doing them individually.
In normal view you don't see the reult of the aliasing, but turn on overprint preview and here's the same frame:
As you can see in the screen shot the frame is still selected and filled with the Pantone yellow, and all that is necessary to output to press is to remove the alias.
Yes, this seems like mare work than redefining the color, but if you ever go for a reprint and forget that you made a definition change you'll be in for an expensive shock.

'Convert CMYK Colors to RGB' still runs havoc in 9! (Plus a PDF version problem)

This post is to warn people about severe issues, and how to avoid them. Issues with the CMYK color setting in FM9.x have been reported here earlier, such as:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1237696#1237696
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1237852#1237852
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1237165#1237165
However, I do not think this issue has been warned about anywhere near as much as it should have. And, as usual, Adobe is silent (they should have a big poster on their site warning about this issue! And they have even claimed that patches have "solved" the issues with CMYK).
Just recently, while experimenting with FM9 again, I had extreme problems, which, at first, seemed totally unrelated to this CMYK setting. But after having struggled extremely hard for many many many hours, I finally found out. Now is the time to inform others:
First a note about versions: FrameMaker 9.0p237, Acrobat Distiller 9.1, XP SP2
It looks perfectly okay on screen in FrameMaker, exactly as in FM8. But when saved as pdf, several things are "corrupted". Examples: no kerning after the letter 'T', such as the word 'Text'. Dotted leader for a right aligned tab disappears. Some objects from the master pages, such as a logo, become enclosed in a rectangle (a border of the frame/object), but it only happens on *some* body pages, whereas other body pages using the same master page are ok!!? Equations are formatted differently from the way they should, with the wrong font for number, etcetera.
Solutions:
1. When 'Save as PDF...', untick 'Convert CMYK Colors to RGB' in PDF Setup. Same setting is in the file's 'Format > Document > PDF Setup...'
A drawback with this method is that, as of Acrobat Distiller v9, it does not seem to respect the pdf version specified in the PDF job Options! I get PDF 1.6 with this method, despite my job option specifies version 1.5. (This happens also with FrameMaker 8 if Acrobat is v9.) So you *have* to optimize it in Acrobat in order to get a web friendly PDF (PDF 1.4 or 1.5).
or
2. Print to 'Adobe PDF'.
In this latter case, you can set the same 'PDF Setup' settings under the button 'Setup...', EXCEPT that there is no tick box for 'Convert CMYK Colors to RGB', and it does not matter what setting you have chosen in the file's 'Format > Document > PDF Setup...', it will be RGB conversion in any case. Make sure that after you exit the setting, the tick box for 'Print to File' is NOT ticked! This method respects the pdf version specified in the PDF job Options! I get PDF 1.5, which is what my job option specifies.
(For some reason, Acrobat/Reader does not render these two PDFs exactly the same, except in extreme magnification! Maybe it has to do with the different PDF versions of the files.)
In either case, the solution actually solves ALL problems I listed! Despite it seems to have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with colors! Some day in the distant future, CMYK might actually work! But, for myself, I would prefer a proper color management instead...

Oops!! Not until now I discover that under 'Solutions' I happened to write 'untick' where it should be 'tick'! I.e, colors SHOULD be converted to RGB in order to circumvent the problems! I.e it runs havoc in v9 when CMYK colors are NOT converted to RGB! Don't know how I came to write the opposite, but probably I started out by describing the situation where the problems are seen rather than describing how to avoid them.
Equally strange is that nobody corrected me, but perhaps the mistake was so obvious? (But whether you see problems or not might depend on what fonts you use. So, under certain special circumstances, CMYK might actually work without these reported problems.)
I am also a bit surprised that others haven't reported the issue that the PDF version set in PDF job Options isn't respected when using 'Save As PDF' and Acrobat 9? (Or maybe someone has, but I have missed it.)

FM10 Crashes when Convert CMYK colors to RGB selected

Hi folks,
I have searched for info on this issue and found a couple of items but I'm still having problems doing what I need to do.
First off, FM 10 version is 10.0.2.419. PC is Dell E6420 laptop, Win 7 SP1, 8GB RAM, big hard drive. No existing Adobe software before installing TCS 3.0 from local files (copied from DVD).
At first I could not create a pdf (using File > Save as PDF) at all on this system (my old XP system still works fine with TCS 3.0). Instant crash and error messages (Internal error 10024, 7687848, 7688138, 10076935.). After reading the discussions, I cleared the check box for Convert CMYK colors to RGB, which allowed me to create the pdf. However, my colors are washed out completely. So I need to be able to select this check box without the crash.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

(1)     Although FrameMaker 10 is a 32-bit application, there was no issue with it running under Windows 7 64-bit. You certainly don't need to run it under any XP mode!!!!
(2)     There were any number of save as PDF bugs in FrameMaker 10 that were fixed in various updates, but typically they were associated with when one didn't check that convert CMYK to RGB option (that uses the native Windows GDI for PostScript creation).
(3)     Rather than printing to File and distilling, try printing directly to the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance.

Is there a way to convert an entire PDF doc (not just one page) to two-tone (blue)?

I know how to convert a page at a time to blue, but need to be able to do entire documents. Is it possible?

It would be best to convert in the program that was used to originally create the PDF file. Or you can use a PDF file editor.
Photoshop is not a PDF file editor. Photoshop is a PDF file rasterizer .

How do I make 2 pdf docs into a one page pdf file.

If often need to take an existing pdf file and add a small title block/revision history block to it but I have not found a good way to achieve this. The smaller title block needs to be free sized according to how much area is available on the origional pdf file.

You are probably look to impose a document. Have a look at Quite for their third party impostion plug-in solutions:

I have two pdf docs that I used Acrobat to convert to word docs. How do I extract one page from one doc to insert into the other doc?

I have two pdf docs that I converted to Word Docs using Acrobat Pro. How do I extract one page from the first doc and insert it into the second doc? When I "select all" it grabs the entire document. I need to take pages out, put other pages in, and edit some of the text.

HI djlarp,
Try triple-clicking in the text that you want to select--it can sometimes be tricky to select text in a converted document. If that doesn't work, it could be that the PDF document was created from a scanned document, and OCR wasn't enabled when you converted the document. (However, OCR is enabled by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website.)
If you're unable to select text by triple-clicking, let us know. I would be happy to take a closer look at your files.
Best,
Sara

No, so extract one page, then convert.

Convert CMYK+SPOT (only selected bands) to RGB

Hello,
My context:
I am dealing with multi-band TIFF files - CMYK + one or more SPOT colors.
I am able to read the multi-band TIFF file using JAI and read the number of bands correctly.
Also, I can read the value for any band for any pixel.
For the SPOT colors I have Pantone CMYK equivalents.
The bands are 8 bit in size.
My problem:
I need to be able to show/hide one or more bands and display the result.
Is there a (mathematical) formula for converting CMYK+SPOT color bands to the RGB color space?
A simple example:
(CMYK scale 0-100)
All bands: C, M, Y, K, SPOT1 (C=100,M=100,Y=0,K=0), SPOT2(C=100,M=0,Y=100,K=0)
Bands selected: C, M, SPOT1
PixelX values: C = 50, M = 10, SPOT1=80
Can we calculate PixelX's RGB values to display on screen?
Is there any documentation I can read anywhere on the subject?
Thanks in advance,
Georgi

How to convert CMYK to RGB programmatically.

Hi,
I have a CMYK colorspace in indesign, i want to convert that as RGB color space, I got some codes, but I am getting incorrect data.
Some of the codes which I tried are given below
        double cyan = 35.0;
        double magenta = 29.0;
        double yellow = 0.0;
        double black = 16.0;
        cyan = Math.min(255, cyan + black); //black is from K
        magenta = Math.min(255, magenta + black);
        yellow = Math.min(255, yellow + black);
        l_res[0] = 255 - cyan;
        l_res[1] = 255 - magenta;
        l_res[2] = 255 - yellow;
@Override
    public float[] toRGB(float[] p_colorvalue) {
        float[] l_res = {0,0,0};
        if (p_colorvalue.length >= 4)
            float l_black = (float)1.0 - p_colorvalue[3];
            l_res[0] = l_black * ((float)1.0 - p_colorvalue[0]);
            l_res[1] = l_black * ((float)1.0 - p_colorvalue[1]);
            l_res[2] = l_black * ((float)1.0 - p_colorvalue[2]);
        return (l_res);
The values are C=35, M = 29, Y = 0, K = 16 in CMYK color space and the correct RGB values are R = 142, G = 148, B = 186.
In adobe indesign, using swatches we can change the mode to CMYK or to RGB.
But I want to do that programmatically, Can I get any algorithm to convert CMYK to RGB which will give the correct RGB values.
And one more question, if the alpha value for RGB is 1 then what will be the alpha value for CMYK?
Can anyone help me to solve these issues... Thanks in advance.

All you have to do is loop thru the swatches and change the space to RGB. Below is an AppleScript, but it shouldn't be too difficult to come up with the equivalent JavaScript. Your document's assigned RGB space will determine what RGB space the CMYK converts to, so if you are looking for sRGB, then Edit>Assign Profiles...>Assign Profile: sRGB
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell document 1
repeat with a from 1 to count of every swatch
try
set space of color a to RGB
end try
end repeat
display dialog "All swatches have been converted to RGB color"
end tell
end tell

The following code converts an cmyk jpeg image into an rgb jpeg image.
The only problem if this code is that it loads the whole image in memory and thus you'll need a lot of RAM when converting large images. For example, it take around 300 MB to convert a 3000*3800px image (this is a 5MB jpeg image when compressed on disk).

Placing RGB inDesign pages results in CMYK. WHY???

Hi
There may well be other threads on this, but I've trawled through the forum and can only find similar stuff, nothing that actually addresses this issue. If there's already something on it then I apologise.
I'm making a presentation for screen using indesign CS5.5, so its in RGB. I'm copy & pasting some stuff in from an RGB illustrator document, which is fine, but I'm also placing pages from another RGB indesign document into my current one. When I do this the image comes up as CMYK and the colours look rubbish. I've tried changing the transparency blend space etc and nothing seems to change it. It also shows up a CMYK on the resulting pdf.
I copy & pasted the same image as I'm placing on top of it, and it shows as RGB with the placed image underneath still in CMYK.
I want to continue placing the document pages in rather than copy & pasting because they need to be very precise and I want to show them without the bleed.
Is this a bug or is there something I can set to make it show up in RGB? It even shows in CMYK in the preview box when you choose which page you want to place.
Cheers,
Joe

Hi, there isn't actually any information in the links panel for colour space so I'm afraid I can't tell you that – is there a way to expand it to show more info?
Rob, I've attached 3 screenshots (I've just made screenshots of the colours I used as I'm not actually allowed to show the artwork sorry!): the first one is the source page (colours show in RGB), the second is the source page placed into the new page (colours showing in CMYK), and the last one is the colours from the source page placed on top of the placed object. As you can see in that one the placed object is in CMYK and the pasted objects are still in RGB. This stays the same when I export it.

Convert one page to word

How do I convert only one page to word from a pdf document?

Hi help with converting,
Was the PDF created from a scanned document? It could be that the particular document you're converting isn't well-formed, and that can lead to conversion errors. Please see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and formatting inf…
But, there are a few things you can try:
Clear the browser cache and try again.
Try a different web browser (see System requirements | Acrobat.com)
Make sure that there are no firewall/proxy settings that could be limiting your access to the Intenet.
Try those, and let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How do I script a listbox to display doc pdf file attachments (originally jpegs) in a one page document being viewed in a Reader or Acrobat?

I have placed a listbox on a one page pdf doc to select and display any of several pdf attachments (originally jpegs). What javascripting will do this? I have tried openDataObject and getDataObjectContents (feeding them the listbox "export value" which is the name of the attached file. Code runs without exception, but no attachment displays?

I don't know of any way to do what you want using the 'open' command. It can probably be done with Applescript, which you could call from a shell script. The Preview application doesn't seem to be scriptable. I don't use Acrobat, so I can't tell you anything about that. Looking through the dictionaries of the apps I do have, it seems that Skim (another PDF viewer) has an AS 'page' class. Below are a couple of links that may get you started. Look for more specific guidance in Applescript forums.

Hello! Can't open an IDML file. ID file was created in CC (10). It is a 100 page (50 spreads) doc that is one big table. It was created in CC (10) and saved as an IDML file. I have CS6 and when I try to open it, it shuts down ID almost instantly. The file was created on a MAC and I am trying to open it on a MAC. Any/all advice is greatly appreciated as I am up against a deadline with this unopened file! Many thanks in advance, Diane

There's a good chance the file is corrupt. As whomever sent it to you to verify it opens on their end.
