Creating PDF brochure for printing: Remove white margin

Hi guys,
I created a brochure in Idesign which has a black background color.
In order to print the brochure I want to create a PDF (with the right order of pages, e.g. page 1 next to page 8, 2 next to 7 etc.) via the "print function".
The page order is not a problem, but unfotunately I always get a white margin although there is no such in the original indesign document.
(When using the normal "export function" of Indesign there is no white margin, but then I cannot create a PDF with the right page order for printing...)
Has anyone an idea how to solve this?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Best,
Chris

In order to print with bleed you generally need to print onto a larger sheet and trim. I'm guessing you are trying to print this on a desktop printer of some sort, and unless specifically designed for "borderless" printing they always have a border along the edge that cannont be imaged.

Creating PDF brochure for printing: Black color adjustment

Hi guys,
I created a brochure in Idesign which has a black background color and in addition also some pictures with black backgrounds.
In order to print the brochure I want to create a PDF (with the right order of pages, e.g. page 1 next to page 8, 2 next to 7 etc.) via the "print function".
The page order is not a problem, but the black background color is rather gray instead of black - so there is quite a difference between the black background color of the pictures and of the whole background.
(When using the normal "export function" of Indesign I know how to solve the color problem, but then I cannot create a PDF with the right page order for printing...)

Your images all use some form of Rich Black for the background, and that prints using all 4 CMYK inks. Your 100%K background will almost always seem gray next to that because it is, in fact, lighter. This will be true even if you use a profile conversion to make it also a 4-color black.
You can make your own rich black swatch and use it as the background (sample a few of the images to get some idea of a good mix), but in truth your images are still probably not going to match all that well. Images tend to have color variations across the background, and your ID background is a flat color, so even a slight mismatch can cause the edges to be obvious. There can also be differences in color on some printers caused by differences in the way raster and vector content are processesd.
I prefer to embrace that, or at least admit it is going to happen, and either use a completely different color for the background so the mismatch always shows, and looks deliberate rather than like a mismatch, or I add a stroke to the image frames, often paper, to break the continuity and disguise the mismatch.
As far as imposing the file and exporting, there are a number of free scripts, and an actual plugin, IDimposer which is also currently free, that can impose your file for you before you export. You can learn more about the plugin at Overview | IDImposer

How do I save a PDF ready for print. I have a problem with the fonts. The fonts are blurry after printing. There is a trick in saving PDF.

Hi el_giclee,
Important to note from the beginning is that when you create your Photoshop document make sure you chose 300 Pixels/inch as your resolution.
I'm interested in seeing your Save Adobe PDF dialog box after you choose to save the PDF.
Could you post a screenshot of this dialog box with the Compression menu selected on the left side?
It's a good idea to select High Quality Print or Press Quality in the Adobe PDF Preset menu at the top of this box. It will automatically select the best default settings for a printed piece.

Crop tool remove white margins" fail

I used to use the "remove white margins" option in the crop dialog all the time, to quickly make submitted ad materials easier to import into layouts. Lately it just stopped working. Clicking the option simply does nothing at all. It's as if there were no white margins. This happens on every ad now, not just a few scattered exceptions. Sometimes after restarting it seems like it works normally for a short while, but it inevitably quickly stops functioning again. Has anyone else run into this? New bug? My system only? Any known fix?

In case it helps, this only happens in Acrobat Pro 10. I'm using 9 at home and have no problem with it. Does anyone else use the remove white margins option? You haven't noticed a problem in Acrobat Pro 10?

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

I am unable to create pdf using adobe printer to a redirected folder on a server running windows server 2003

I am unable to create pdf using adobe printer to a redirected folder on a server running windows server 2003

In the app-server-ant.xml file, as indiacted in the error message i am getting, at line 145 it is suppose to get the path to \bin\asadmin.bat from the value of a paramater called 'asadmin'. This value is being set in the beginning of the file.
The parameter value of 'asadmin' is further referring to value of another parameter called 'javaee.home' which is being set in tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/bp-project/build.properties
I have checked the values of both these parameters and they are set correctly, so since it is still giving me problems, at line 145 i hard coded the path instead of the parameter name:
I replaced line
<exec executable="${asadmin}" failonerror="${failonerror}" dir="${javaee.home}">
with
<exec executable="c:/sun/appserver/bin/asadmin.bat" failonerror="${failonerror}" dir="${javaee.home}">
This works.

Can I create a network for printing & music alone ?

I don't have DSL or any type of broadband - still using dial up.
If I buy an Airport Express can I configure it to wirelessly print and stream music or do I need a wireless network in the background to make this work ?

Can I create a network for printing & music alone ?
Yes
If you also want internet access at the same time you will need to tweak things a bit.

Exporting PDF locked for printing is printable

When my client drops a PDF (locked-for-printing and locked-for-copy-content) in Windows 7 on Firefox, it is printable.
What can I do to prevent printing?

Note the warning when setting security in Acrobat.
In this case, the "third-party product" is FireFox. The FireFox developers are debating whether they are any obligation to pay attention to what you want.

Joint pdf signed for printing

i want to joint pdf signed for printing or to have a mutiple printing, is-ti possible?
Thanks
Acrobat 10

The question is, have I set up the PDF correctly?
If you want all color converted to AdobeRGB.
Composite printer's often expect RGB, but they usually provide RGB output profiles like this Epson output profile for glossy paper.

How to remove white margin for pdf file shared by iCloud Keynote?

However, there is a litter problem that the pdf file shared by iClound Keynote has a white margin. How to remove this white margin? Or any bug there?

No. I checked every page. Top side no white margin. In left and right side, the white margin is about 1mm, and in bottom side the white margin is about 2mm.

Creating a Brochure for Pages

I'm working on a theater brochure for my college. Anyway, I'm curious if there's a step by step method somewhere to create one from scratch or more templates available online. Thanks in advance...
rick

Free templates are available from:
http://www.iworkcommunity.com
Higher quality commercial templates:
http://www.stocklayout.com
http://www.jumsoft.com
http://www.keynotepro.com
http://www.keynoteuser.com
http://www.keynotethemepark.com
Since creating a brochure is both a technical and a design process it is difficult to suggest a "Step-by-Step" guide. Study the templates provided and actual copies of material you admire and try to deconstruct them.
Apple provides good video tutorials on using Pages, available under the Pages' Help menu.
As always ideas, taste and experience are recommended, but rarely employed.

P.S. A word of warning, read the posts here before going off expecting to print the brochure commercially. Pages is not built for this.

How to creat pdf documents with printing restrictions in Aperture

Hi,
I wondered if it is possible to create a pdf document made up of 9-12 image per page contact sheets, to send to clients that restricts the client to open and view only i.e no printing allowed.
Photoshop allows this, however i would like to create /correct versions in aperture and then create a pdf [with the above printing restrictions applied, simply to save time.
the way i work in photoshop is to export approx a 500 to 1000 jpegs [ per client] in aperture to a folder which I then open with Bridge- create the contact sheets and then create the pdf document with printing restrictions applied.
is there any way for me to make this simpler, especially just using Aperture?

just been reading about terminal on another thread.... Spinning beach ball,,[page 2 of Aperture discussions].Apparently there is a command line explained there that can help speed up Aperture. I tried it but Had a problem when trying to type in my Password... It would not let me type anything....So I canceled the proceedure. [ knowing my luck I would cause some irrepairable damage to the machine].
Think I need to do a lot of reading up to get up to scratch with folk using this discussion Board!!!
With regards to the pdfauxinfo- is it complicated to get running, or does it run straiaght away in automator?

I need to create pdf to certain printer standards - how do I do it?

I am creating an advert and never before have I been asked to do the following:
(They have attached the relevant files in the email for me but I have no idea how to do it. A step by step guide for dummies would be greatly appreciated. I am working on Windows)
Hereby the profiles (in zip files) which are needed to maken a certified pdf to our printer standards
-------------------------------------------------------------------->
Change the profile for images in Photoshop:
ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc
Place in the Library: Application Support - Adobe - Color - Profiles -
-------------------------------------------------------------------->
Make a pdf in InDesign:
WebCmykHiRes_1v4_IND4.joboptions
Place in the Library: Application Support - Adobe - Adobe PDF - Settings -
This profile is already fully confirm to our printer standards. (you don't have to change anything)
Choose this profile for PDF (Export) this preset WebCmykHiRes_1v4_IND4.
If it does not apear in inDesign, import Document, Presets Adobe PDF
-------------------------------------------------------------------->
Check the pdf in Pitstop:
WebCmykHiRes_1v4.ppp
Browse the profile in Enfocus Pitstop when you want to certifie your pdf.
Mistakes will show and explaned in a status report.
EDIT: It seems like they have given me steps to follow, like place in library, etc. but even this I don't know where to find. Could this be a mac/windows difference? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, the instructions seem a little vague. For example, where it says "change the profile" I think it means to choose Edit > Convert to Profile. But you should verify that because there are other possible interpretations of "change the profile."

Yes, you have been given Mac instructions. The [username]/Library/Application Support path does not exist in Windows. In general, where it says to look in [username]/Library/Application Support, in Windows you should instead look in [username]/AppData/Roaming/ . You might find the following document useful as a guide, because it compares Mac and Windows folder paths for the same files: Preference filenames and locations in Photoshop CS6
