Different transparency flattening results

Hi all,
When I flatten transparency using the [high resolution] flattener presets in Acrobat 10.1 Flattener Preview, I get flattened areas with pretty high resolutions: 1681x1681ppi, 762x762ppi. When I export my original IND-document to PDF using the exactly the same flattener presets, I flattened areas or images with a resolution of 300x300ppi (as I would expect from these presets).
Anyone who can explain the difference? I always assumed that both techniques are using the same underlying technology / algorithms to flatten a page (therefore giving the same end result).
BTW: the first situation resulted in the 'thin white lines' (artifacts) to appear on screen and in print (!) , so 'not good'.

If character "-" is not included in search characters, is that correct that "o-ring" will be treated as a phrase search?
I found the following in Dev studio help:
Adding search characters that support automatic phrasing
Inclusion of original punctuation marks in search query phrases returns more relevant results.
It says "More" which made me think ... maybe not "phrase". Please explain, thanks.

Transparency flattening - unwanted color added to transparent PSD files (IDCS3)

Recently (after switching to CS3) I began experiencing frustrating problems in relation to (what I think is the problem) transparency flattening.
The problem seems to evolve in the printing process where "something" messes up the transparency by adding a 1% (typically) magenta color to the transparent flattened image. (I´m using transparent PSD-files)
This means that the bounding box-area of the image is actually visible in print! I can see this on my own prints (tested on several in-house printers), but worse is that I´m having the same problem with the material I receive from the printing house.
- When I check my PSD files in Photoshop there is no color but a transparent background.
- In Indesign I´ve tried a lot of different output settings and job option files but with the same result.
- In Acrobat my "output preview" measures no deviations, but when I (touch up tool > right click) edit image from inside Acrobat and the image file opens up in Photoshop the 1% is added.
For now I´m dealing with the problem by adding clipping paths to my PSD files which is a pretty untenable situation!
Apparently the problems seems to occur also on transparent .tiff filer etc.
I´m working in CS3 on OSX and I haven´t changed my workflow whatsoever since CS2.
The printing house is aware of the problem but haven´t experienced the problem before.

Sounds to me like an RGB/CMYK colour space issue.
If your image is in RGB but your InDesign document export settings are for CMYK (or vice versa) then you have Adobe converting the colours for you. Since there is a colour shift between the two colour spaces, you have no control over how the conversion happens.
In photoshop, "white" is not the same between RGB and CMYK and I often find there is 1 or 2% magenta in the mix (just as you're finding) when going from RGB to CMYK.
The transparency flattener function is pretty much the same as flattening the layers in photoshop - when it gets to the bottom layer you get one image with a box around it. the same in InDesign - everything that has a transparency (including images with no background) is flattened down on all the objects underneath to create a single image. If the transparent object is just on the paper then it gets a white box around it.
I suggest you check that your images are converted to CMYK in photoshop, and that your PDF export settings in InDesign convert all colours to CMYK. then ensure you use the High Quality in the transparency flattener settings.
Good luck!

Help with Transparency Flattener!

I'm working with an Indesign file that has Illustrator links, which contain gradient meshes that use transparency. When I export my Indesign file, the transparency flattener does something very strange to the gradient mesh: it displays the vector lines of the mesh as dark grey lines.
I've found a way around this problem, but it is not ideal. If I export the file as Acrobat 4, I can change the transparancy flattener settings, and eliminate the issue. However, if I use Acrobat 4, I also lose the ability to add hyperlinks in the document (of which I have a number) Why is that that if you use a higher version of acrobat (5 or above) you suddenly lose the ability to manage the transparancy flattener? Why would older versions of the product allow more freedom and control?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below are screeshots of what it looks like in illustrator, and then flattened but the default flatteners of acrobat 5 and above. Really, I just want to be able to achieve a customized flattener that doesn't contain those dark lines, but not have to use actobat 4 to do it.
Thanks!

Hi Steve—
Your questions have half solved my problem for me!
I'm using the latest version of Indesign (7.5) and Illustrator (15.1.0)
I'm exporting using the High Quality Print setting (I know, a bit strange to use this setting AND want hyperlinks, but the PDF is intended for web distribution to people who might decide to print it) and when I choose anything above acrobat 4 in the compatibility drop down (5, 6, 7...) then the transparency flattener is greyed out in the advanced tab, with medium set as the default. If i want to choose my own flattener settings, I have to go with PDF 4, at which point I lose hyperlinks. I've also tried exporting choosing Adobe PDF (Interactive) from the initial menu, but that results in the same lines in the gradient mesh.
However, it turns out this issue is only happening when viewing the pdf in apple's preview app. It actually looks fine in acrobat. However, seeing as how Preview is the default app for viewing PDFs on a mac, I'm concerned that a bulk of our audience will be seeing it this way.
I know this likely puts things out of the realm of adobe, but if you have any wisdom to impart, I'd appreciate it. Attached is what the file looks like viewed acrobat (above) and preview (below).
thanks!

Set 'transparency flattener presets' to [High Resolution]

Transparency Flattener Settings

I have been getting conflicting information about the settings for the transparency flattener preset options when creating PDFs out of InDesign and I wanted to get things straight. From one side I was told to change the setting to read: Raster/Vector Balance 100, Line Art Text Res 2400 ppi and Gradient Mesh Res 300 ppi. And the other side says that the High Resolution default settings work just fine and that these settings are like the appendix in CS3, totally unnecessary! I am working in CS3 and use the PDF/X-1a:2001 setting to export. Any insight would be great, thanks.

The only difference between [High res] and the values you quote is "Line Art Text Res 2400 ppi"
And the only time that is used (as long as "vector-pixel" is set to 100) is when you use an effect (say a drop shadow) with a softness of less than 0.5pt.
I.e. the quoted values give you a better result for very hard effects at the price of 4 times the data volumen in the PDF.
You yourself must decide if you need your hard shadows in 2400ppi or 1200ppi.

Hi there. I have a problem with sound on my 4s. When you move the volume slider up, it sounds well. But when I move the volume slider down I will hear barely and unclear sound in my headphone.I tried different headphones but result is same as old one.Help

Stitch lines created in a PDF/X-1a due to transparency flattening during export from InDesign

Has there been any sure fire methods to avoid the digital stitch lines created in a PDF/X-1a due to transparency flattening during export from InDesign? If I attempt to edit the PDF using the Acrobat Edit Text and Graphics tool the PDF is actually carved into sectors and images are not selectable as a whole. Also contrary to what I have read those white lines do indeed image from time to time. I could export as PDF/X4 to preserve the transparency but on occasion it would be advantageous to flatten it before supplying to the printer. Currently using CC and have done the usual things in an attempt to avoid the lines such as all text above transparent objects on a separate layer and 'Clip-Complex-Region' on export.
Thanks in Advance!

If the default High Res flattener preset is stitching make a custom preset that's all rasters and use it in the advanced tab of the PDF/X-1a preset

Acrobat 9 Transparency Flattening Colour Shift

Hi all,
This is something I found out the hard way, and it seems like a real trap in Acrobat 9.
I have a document prepared in ID, exported to PDF/X-4 with all profiles included. The document is prepared in RGB model (AdobeRGB), because we're printing in house on Epson 4800 tabloid printer.
All looks fine onscreen in Acrobat. (Colour managed setup etc).
But when printing to the Epson, the images have poor shadow detail and are darker than they should be.
I eventually figured out that it is to do with the colour space used for Transparency Flattening. It took me a while to find it, but by default it is set to "Device RGB" on my system in the Flattener Preview. When I changed it to Adobe RGB, which is the colour working space used in the document, the prints come out correctly.
Observations:
1. Changing the colour space for flattening is not persistent as a general setting, but you can save it back to the PDF.
2. Even though it appears on the same dialog, the colour space is not stored with the transparency flattener presets.
3. This setting has an ongoing effect on how the document is printed (i.e. after the dialog is closed), even though the dialog leads you to believe it only relates to flattening preview.
What puzzles me is why this setting can't be put there with the correct value when ID generates the PDF.
Is there anything else I've overlooked here? This seems like a really nasty little trap for the unwary.

Why can I not select the transparency flattener preset option when exporting to a pdf?

Hi all,
I have not had to use this option in quite a while so may have forgotten a few things.
In InDesign, under Edit>Transparency Flattener Presets, I have created a new preset and included the option of converting all text to outlines.
However, when I try to export to a PDF, the option to select a transparency flattener preset is greyed out.
Can you tell me what I may be doing wrong? This is driving me crazy!:(
(There was originally no transparency in the file, so I created some with a white square set to 0.5% opacity).
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Christine

Thank you SO MUCH!!

Transparency flattener/overprint issue?

as per my post title suggests i have experienced an issue that i think maybe something related to either the transparency flattener settings or overprint.
i have received some pdf files from a client which i put into indesign CS4. I add some company information and then output a pdf (export from indesign profile PDFX 1a 2001) ready for print.
when receiving the clients pdfs which i have noticed where created in CS5 have no overprint settings applied to the file at all. (See image below)
Shot at 2011-10-27
after creating my pdf it has set elements to overprint. why is this? All i have done is add the original pdfs into indesign and output them again! is indesign managing the overprint settings without my knowledge? (See image below)
Shot at 2011-10-27
All of this was brought to light after the job had been printed! but for some reason it has knocked out some of the elements set to overprint rather than over printed them. You will notice from the image below that the stars on the left have come out correct but the stars on the top right have not! apart from the part over the image.

A colleague of mine at work seems to think the issue has something to do with the transparency flattener settings when a vector graphic connects with a bitmapped image.
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience into what has happened here and could help me resolve this issue from occuring in the future? as i need to provide an explanation to my client. as it has baffled my printer! and he has no answers!
thanks in advance.
Dazzlag

I’m asking because unless there’s a real good reason, you shouldn’t be flattening transparency yourself. In fact, fully modern workflows don’t flatten it at all.
And yes, it would be a good idea to find out what settings your client used. But my first guess is that they used transparency, not overprint to achieve that effect.

Transparency flattening issue (I think)

Hi all,
I'd appreciate your help with this. I've tried researching this through the forum yet still find myself confused. I think it's a transparency flattening issue, but I'm unsure of how to fix it, and even at what point to fix it.
I designed this for a magazine ad in InDesign CS2 and exported to PDF. The polaroids have drop shadows, which look fine on screen:
But when I print I get these ugly "borders" where the transparencies are:
Can't get rid of them, except by printing the PDF as an image.
My questions are:
1) Assuming this is a transparency issue, how do I fix this? I've read about transparency presets on the forum, but (please forgive my lameness) I'm not sure how to actually apply them.
2) At what point do I fix this? I mean, as a best practice, is this something that's addressed inside InDesign, or during the export from InDesign, or when printing the PDF? It looked fine in the magazine so obviously they were able to fix it, but I'd still like to know what I'm doing wrong to save them extra work in the future.
I have Adobe CS2 and Acrobat 7 Pro on a Windows XP Pro.
Many thanks for your help,
Ed

That's quite a color shift, too, on the background which seems like more than you'd see from a poor image capture of the printed piece.
I bet you are using a spot color. Unless you are actually paying to have that spot color printed in the magazine (if they even would), you shouldn't be using it. Make sure you go into the ink manager and convert all spots to process, or replace any spot colors with process colors. You should be the one handling the color conversion, and using process color will simplify the flattening, I think.

Migration from 9i to 11g Transparent Gateway results in a) ORA-12704: character set mismatch b) ORA-02070: database ... does not support SYS_OP_C2C in this context

Migration from 9i to 11g Transparent Gateway results in a) ORA-12704: character set mismatch b) ORA-02070: database ... does not support SYS_OP_C2C in this context
What Transparent Gateway (TG) 11g configuration steps prevent the following errors?:
a) ORA-12704: character set mismatch
b) ORA-02070: database <DB_link_name> does not support SYS_OP_C2C in this context
Hints:
The current 9i TG works with the existing views and packages. These same db objects will not compile using the new 11g TG.
The db objects are on an Oracle 10g database linked to an SQL Server 2008 R2 database.
Since the 9i TG works I assume a configuration to the 11g TG will get it working same as before. But what...
Is is something controlled by these parameters? (Sorry, I don't know how this stuff works. I'm the application developer. My DBAs setup the Transparent Gateways.):
Parameters in the Gateway Startup Shell script:
    ORA_NLS33
    NLS_LANG
Parameters in the initsid.ora file:
    HS_LANGUAGE
    HS_NLS_DATE_FORMAT
    HS_NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE
I'm avoiding the known workaround to refactor the VIEWS and PACKAGES to contain CAST() statements to explicitly match the data types. A server side fix to the 11g TG is preferred.
Sample code:
a) ORA-12704: character set mismatch
   ... is caused by SQL that works with my 9i TG but not with my 11g TG. It's a snippit from my view that won't compile:
                  select status_code                  -- Oracle VARCHAR2(30)
                  from   ora_app_interfaces
                 UNION
                  select "StatusCode" as status_code -- SQL Server NVARCHAR(30)
                  from   SqlAppInterfaces
   Example workaround that I'm avoiding:
                  select status_code
                  from   ora_app_interfaces
                 UNION
                  select CAST("StatusCode" as VARCHAR(30)) as status_code
                  from   SqlAppInterfaces
b) ORA-02070: database <DB_link_name> does not support SYS_OP_C2C in this context
   A line of code in the procedure that compiles correctly but fails to execute:
           -- Insert into SQL Server from Oracle
           insert into PatientMedRecNum (
              "PatID",         -- SQL Server INT
              "MedRecNum",     -- SQL Server NVARCHAR(11)
              "Hospital")      -- SQL Server NVARCHAR(30)
           values (
              pi_pat_id,       -- Oracle NUMBER
              pi_med_rec_num, -- Oracle VARCHAR2
              pi_hospital);    -- Oracle VARCHAR2
I'd guess the errors are caused by the TG's implicit conversion between the Oracle VARCHAR2 and the SQL Server NVARCHAR... but this works fine on the 9i TG... how do I set it up to work on the 11g TG?
Thanks!

Trace of 11g TG... generating errors due to lack of automatic mapping from SQL NVARCHAR to Oracle NVARCHAR, where the previous 9g TG mapped from SQL NVARCHAR to Oracle VARCHAR2.

Transparency flattening compression quality

Hi,
In Acrobat 9, an important option was missing for transparency flattening: the compression quality setting. I found that it is now available in Acrobat XI. When I saw that, I thought that my problems with flattening were a thing of the past. Well... no. I use preflight droplets to process the PDF files and the compression quality is not present in the prefilght options. Why is the quality setting available in the Transparency Flattening dialog box and not in the prefilght profile? And, if not present, why did Acrobat choose to use the "Fast processing" quality instead of "Best quality" for transparency flattening done with preflight?
Thanks!

First off, a SD (DVDs are SD) image will never look as good as a High Def Image but you probably know that.
It appears you have made a copy of the Apple preset for DVD compression, that's what we want.
Open up the MPEG-2 Setting and click to the third menu (Frame Controls), click the sprocket button to allow Frame Controls to be ON, Resize Filter should be Better and Adaptive Details should be checked, move the Anti-Alias slider to 35 and try compressing again.
You can play with these sliders to reduce aliasing (stair-stepping) and/or increase detail (enhance edges)

When, on my home page, I click on the link "popup transparent" in the query, "Did you mean: popup transparent", NO RESULTS appear in that new tab; how fix?

I've been having trouble due, apparently, to a file named popuptransparent[dot]xul, of which I have 3 instances on my computer (running Win XP/Firefox latest v.). Using my AVG home-page window, I search for "popuptransparent" (to try to fix it) and the results appear OK. But then when I click, for a new tab, on the link "popup transparent" in the query, "Did you mean: popup transparent", NO RESULTS appear in that new tab. Further, when I then reload the AVG panel that searched for "popuptransparent" in the first place, it, too, now shows no results. Nor does a Google panel now show any results. They show the quantity of results but just white screens for the results themselves.
The links https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/948804?esab=a&as=aaq and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/952141?esab=a&as=aaq don't help me. I have re-installed Firefox v. 20.0.1 to no avail. How to fix it?
Should I delete from my computer all 3 of those [dot]xul instances?

Thanks to jscher! With some help from AVG my AVG & Google browser panels now work OK. But I've taken the advice & disabled several extensions including the Disconnect. The browsers are still OK after re-launching them so I keep fingers crossed.
My original problem was that I had suddenly found a small popup window appearing, over the browser window, that I couldn't get rid of. It contained an advisory to the effect that Windows couldn't find the file popuptransparent[dot]xul. I tried searching for that to see what it was and in the course of doing that I seem to have executed it. Then was when the trouble started.
I have 3 instances of that file in my computer and would dearly like to get rid of them if they are of no use to me. Any advice there?
