Dark Background Printing

I just installed Acrobat Pro from the Creative cloud and now many of the PDF's I am emailed print with a DARK background even though when I view them they have a white background.
Please help!

Hi zee,
You can try changing print quality(and reduce the default ppi) in printer properties, that way it would use less ink.
Another alternative would be to edit the pdf in Acrobat and remove the background image container leaving just the text in front.
Please let me know if it works or if you need any further assistance.
Regards,
Rahul

  • How to change pdf (with dark background) so it print with white background and dark text??

    I have lots of nice presentations I am studying- the problem is most of them were made in ppt with dark backgrounds and white text then converted to pdf files. So when I print them, I get a dark (black) background with white text- very annoying. Is there anyway to get it to print with a light (or no) backround with black text? This is much easier for note taking/etc. I have adobe acrobat professional.

    Use the rectangle shape tool. Draw a rectangle over the entire frame. In the shape tab, color it whatever you want. Export your TGA sequence.

    PS: But if you place a colored bkg in your motion project that you will effectively have no alpha channel. Are they referencing the TGA's alpha?

  • Ink wasting because pages with dark backgrounds still print despite background print checkbox being unchecked

    I am visually handicapped and have Firefox set up in the colors to force black background white text. My computer is set up like that too by uncheckable the allow web pages to choose colors and checking use system colors. If go to print a page with a dark background or use the color setting mentioned above. My pages print with the dark background despite the Print background box being unchecked. This problem cropped up as of Firefox 4.x.

    That could be a bug, or it could be by design. I'm not sure.
    Studying a workaround and will report back...
    Okay, here's the workaround. I think it's actually better looking than the built-in solution, but you can be the judge. (On further thought, maybe it's a bit extreme...)
    First, you need an add-on named Stylish. Stylish lets you restyle any page. You can install it here (you will have to restart Firefox and enable the add-on if it isn't automatically enabled): [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish :: Add-ons for Firefox].
    Second, you need a "userstyle" named [http://userstyles.org/styles/48319/browser-and-page-white-on-black Browser and Page - White On Black]. As the name suggests, the text is white and the background is black, but because it is applied as a style, you can turn off the black background in Page Setup. (I tested it today, but I can't vouch for it being the same if it has been updated.)
    Check the box under Tools > Options > Content > Colors to let sites set their own styles, then check some pages (and Print Preview) to see how you like it.
    Does it work for you?

  • How do I get the cells to show up darker when printing my document

    When using Numbers, how do I get the cells to show up darker when printing my document?

    Are you asking about the cell background, as ivmedic has assumed, or about how to make the grid lines separating the cells darker?
    Select the table.
    Use the controls shown above this table to change:
    Stroke type from "Thin" to the solid line shown.
    Stroke thickness to 1 pt
    Stroke colour to a darker value (This is set to black, the rightmost cell in the top row of the Color Palette available fir this Color Well.)
    the controls are toward the right end of the Format Bar.

  • Animated GIF doesn't work against dark backgrounds in HTML

    I've created an animated GIF in Photoshop, exported it for web with transparency, and placed it in my HTML code. It doesn't work against the dark background on my page. However, when I open the image in a new browser tab, voila, the animation works precisely as it should.
    Why is the background affecting the animation and how can I work around this?

    Hello Frank,
    problem is solved.
    I have installed IE7 on a Windows 2003 Server Edition and used remote desktop client to test the application.
    It seems that either a setting on W2003 or the remote desktop client avoid to see the animation.
    On locally installed IE7 animated gif's works fine.

  • Original .pdfs colours different (darker) in printed magazine - WHY?

    I am running InDesign on a PC (Windows XP). I use it to edit and design a full colour short run magazine which is professionally printed. My problem is that the colours of the final printers proofs and finished magazine are coming through darker in tone, particularly the reds and blues, than the .pdfs I generate using InDesign. On my screen and on the HP printer I use to run off test pages, the .pdfs colours are fine. Somehow the printers' equipment and/or software is making them darker on the final printed magazine, unacceptably so this time.
    We generate the magazine using InDesign and send the final .pdfs to the printers via an ftp server service (YouSendIt).  The printers then create the final proofs for me to approve and sign off. Sometimes they send me these in the post as printed sheets (sherpas) to sign off. Recently I have been going online to their "Delano" server and approve the proofs on line. Last time round however they had a problem with it and sent me the printed proofs to sign off.
    Most of the images we used originate as digital ones and are supplied to us as high res. Occasionally there is a scan. However as the printer uses cmyk images, and insists we convert any rgb images to cmyk before they will process our .pdfs. We do the picture conversion from rgb to cmyk using Photo-paint.
    In the past I have had problems with the colour balance of the final proofs being darker than my original .pdfs.  Changing colour balance at the pre-press stage is expensive and as it is just about acceptable if the final magazine does not contain too many photos with a lot of grass and sky, then I will let it run.
    But it has happened again and is unacceptable. I was sent a very good quality professional photo for the cover (in high res digital format) taken outdoors on a sunny day with a lot of grass and it has inevitably printed too dark on the final cover. (sky is greyish not blue and  grass is orange-ish not light green). Same problem throughout.
    The printed proofs supplied by the printers this time were too dark, so I phoned up the Production Manager to tell him this before I signed them off. He said not to worry as they were not 100% accurate for colour anyway. To be on the safe side, I marked on all the proofs individually that the colour was too dark, and printed out and sent them a .pdf of the cover, showing the correct colour balance.
    Still the printed magazine arrived too dark, just as it was on their proofs. I again complained to the Production Control Manager who put me onto their Technical Support guy, who is not very helpful (always looks at it being customers fault as his first position). He said first of all that it must be my scanning, and conversion from rgb to cmyk. I pointed out the cover photo was not scanned but an original high res digital image supplied by a press agency. So he then said my PC and printer must be at fault.
    I have gone back and looked at the colours on previous issues and they are all on the dark side, for example bright blue skies come out greyish, but it only really notices if there is a lot of grass and sky in the pictures. Is the printers software or equipment attempting to compensate for needing extra colour in some way? Also they are primarily a MAC house and I use a PC. Could this affect the colour calibrations?
    I need to talk to them again but want to do so from a position of knowing something about how a .pdf gets converted into a final proof and how the colours could get darker, given their tech support is unhelpful.
    If it is relevant, this is their printing equipment: Twin Computer-to-Plate lines; Two Heidelberg 8 colour presses .
    Any advice anyone can give on what might be causing the final magazine to be darker in tone than my InDesign .pdfs would be appreciated.

    Wow – thanks for all your suggestions I am going to have to take a while to digest and try them out and report back.
    I am in fact on very good terms with the Production Manager at the printers but I think he has rather been dropped in it, as it seems the unhelpful tech support guy has just left and not been replaced so the Production Control Manager is left trying to sort out advanced technical aspects of prepress for which he has not been trained.
    I have to ask why the printers don't give you the information you need up front instead of claiming a .pdf from Indesign is all it takes.
    In all this .pdf fine tuning stuff I am reminded of my earlier career in IT. I was involved in setting up an early wide area VOIP network (Voice over Internet Protocol  - a sort of Skype to the uninitiated). To make this work we needed a digital switchboard which was configured to the latest European standard and software to match. Everyone assured me that the protocol concerned (let us call it 802.11) was brand new and had not yet had time to develop any variations……of course there were all sorts of problems not least that the line kept dropping and everytime it restarted we got charged a reconnection charge. I won’t bore you with how we got there in the end but needless to say, one man’s VOIP implementation of VOIP using 802.11 is not necessarily another’s.
    I am reminded of this in all the issues surrounding exporting .pdfs to get the correct colour balance in the resulting publication. I swear to you this was never mentioned to me as being an issue at any time by anyone when we started down this route.
    Meanwhile today I asked the printers’ salesman chasing my business to send their technical spec – pointing out I work on a PC running XP - and this is what I got
    A sheet headed “Recommended settings for creating a PDF/X directly from Adobe InDesign CS3. This example was created on Mac OS x 10.5 using InDesign 5.0.1”  This is followed by a series of screen prints with the following headings
    Check your Transparency Flattener Preset is correctly configured (via the edit menu) this will be selected in the Advanced tab (step 6)
    Select File – Export then in Format chose Adobe PDF and name the file, select folder to save it to and click Save
    In General select single page to print set compatibility to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) and deselect all the list Options and include checkboxes
    The Compression tab sets the options for how the PDF will handle resolutions for placed colour, grey scale and monochrome images
    The Printers marks should be enabled as below.
    Use the Destination and Output Intent profile name relevant to the publication. ISO Coated V2 300 is used here as an example only.
    Ensure there are only process colour and no Spot colours. Converting colour to CMYK at the PDF creation stage can give unpredictable results
    Select the transparency Flattener previously created. OPI should be disabled. Here is also where you can opt to create a JDF file
    Make sure all the options in Security are disabled. Summary lists all the settings that can be applied it can be saved as a text file for reference
    Note item 6 – it does not actually tell me what the printers recommended settings for my publication are
    And Note also item 7 where it says that converting to colour to CMYK at the PDF creation stage can give unpredictable results

  • Need to remove white background for use on dark background

    Hi,
    I have a stock image of some people on a white background. I need to remove the white background so I can use the image in a project with a dark background. However when I put the edited subjects on the dark background, the people all have noticeable white borders around them which I assume means I am not getting all of the white out, especially around the hair. Can anyone recommend the best way of overcoming this? Thanks.

    Can anyone recommend the best way of overcoming this? Thanks.
    There is no single "best way". It all depends on the resolution of the image and its other quality properties. The - theoretically - cleanest and less workladden method would be to extract the luminance e.g. by converting to Lab mode and selecting the L channel, then adjust the channel range. However, if the foreground also contains lots of bright colors, clipping back the channel black and white points would also affect them and you'd need more adjustments to compensate or work with teh refine mask tool a lot to feather edges just like you would with a conventioan layer mask created from an interactive selection. On top of that you may also still need to apply all teh other dirty tricks like using a dark inner glow to cover up remaining bright areas or fill the outside with a dark color... Really depends, but you should be prepared to invest some time. Using longwinded manual painting and cloning may even be required...

  • Font is blurry on dark background.

    Hey everyone,
    I'm experiencing very annoying trouble out here. My font rendering is kind of blurry when it comes to dark backgrounds. Here's a screenshot using Swyphs II color theme. My rendering is on the top of the screenshot, author's is at the bottom, after the red line.

    This behavior is everywhere, where I have light text on dark background (excluding images of course).
    Font smoothing in system perferences is set to 'Automatic', and i'm on Leopard, 23" ACD. Changing font-smoothing option does not affect it at all.
    Any ideas, anyone?
    Thanks in Advance.

  • ID CS5 Disable background printing when exporting pdf

    Is there a way to disable background printing when exporting to pdf in InDesign CS5?
    I really prefer the way pdf-export has been done in the foreground as it has been since InDesign 1.0.
    An option where you could choose between forground and background printing would be nice since I'm pretty sure there are people out there who want background printing. Why else would Adobe all of a sudden make this, in my opinion, stupid change?

    For the record, exporting PDF has nothing to do with printing from ID. In theory it was made a background task to improve your efficiency and productivity (at the request of users, by the way), since a foregorund export stops you from doing anything else while you wait, but the background export allows you to work on things at the same time.
    Most of the time this actually works well. There was a bug that showed up under certain circumstances (squashed in the last patch), and some reports of export failure with other files as well that are not related to the bug. Though I was one of the first to report a hang during export, I've not seen one in at least six months, maybe longer, and none of the files that originally failed do so now. If the reason you want the foreground export is to see a progress bar, which I miss, you can open Window > Utilities > Background Tasks to see it.
    If you'd like this to be a user preference in a future release, file a request at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

  • OSX.6 change filename color black to white on dark background

    OSX.6 change filename color black to white on dark background

    Thanks for that, but what I asking was how to change the OSX default filename font color from black to white, so it becomes more easily visible when dark backgrounds are selected in icon view, eg the same way the Desktop default does, except when files are not on the Desktop.
    or to put it another way:
    if anyone's worked out an easy way to how to change the color of the font itself, rather than changing the folder/filename background using File, Label, Color, eg because light colors may already be in use as Labels, and so mean something else.
    or as explored in this archived discussion:
    How to change the color of the file name Font in Finder window and Desktop

  • Remove dots on a dark background photo? Please help!

    Hello,
    I'm a newbie! I'm desperately trying to make a slideshow of my daughter's wedding to show at her reception next week. I have Iphoto 8 and the newest Aperture and also Photoshop ELements 4. I'm using an Apple I Mac. I have a couple questions:
    1 - How do remove red spots that are all over an old photo? It has a very dark background. I've played ith the Healing brushes and Paintbrushes. But no success.
    2 - Workflow? The photos are imported into the Aperture Library. I have iMovie8 and Final Cut and iDVD. In what order would it be easiest to put the slideshow together?
    THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
    Terri

    Terri:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Can you post the photo so we can see what you're dealing with? If you have a .Mac account you can put a small version of it in the iDisk Pictures folder and then post a text like like the following:
    <*a href="http://homepage.mac.com/AccountName/.Pictures/FileName" target="_blank">TEXT<*/a>
    except remove the asterisks (*) as they were added so the code would show as text.
    I've found that iPhoto's Retouch tool does a very good job of getting rid of blemishes on a photo. You might try that.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
