Export pdf for screen with CMYK transparency

so i created a pdf and it turns out it for on screen -not print.
so i used transparency effects with CMYK.
changing it to rgb messes up the look.
how can i just flatten this stupid thing for web view?
i exported smallet quality but changed the compression image quality to maximum. still looks dirty a bit...
i just want to flatten it completely. its not being printed at all!

I do a lot of print work for customers who then wish to post a copy to their websites. They still want it to look good, but they need a small file size. I've used the following trick - but JUST for the web, this should never be used for print. Export your file from InDesign using a lower downsampling setting - 150, 100, etc. Whatever setting is a good compromise for your images. Most designers have a lower setting that they use regularly for proofing purposes. Open the file in Acrobat Pro. Go to File Menu—>Save As—>More Options—>Postscript. Take the postcript file and run through Acrobat Distiller. Use the Standard setting (150 dpi). You will find that whether you have used your original CMYK or changed your output to RGB, your file size is significantly reduced (i.e. from over 3MB to 890 kb) and the images still render decently. You can play with the compression numbers to find just the right combo for you. (Printing a postscript from ID will not gain you the same file size savings, but I'm sure if you then ran the resulting PDF through the same procedure it would probably work similarly.) Again, ONLY use this method if you are posting to the web, it will not produce print-ready files.

Problems with exporting PDF for Print

Hi all,
I would appreciate some help with exporting my indesign document (using v9.2, 32x) to PDF for print.
I have a number of images and text objects in the document and all links seem to be in place.
However when I come to export the document to print PDF, the PDF file is corrupted and has a size of 0 bytes. The export worked fine earlier when I did a test, but since I have added a few more images, everytime I go to export it, it will not work!!
I would be grateful for any help with this, it is infuriating when I have deadlines to meet! Many thanks.

I'd try a 'save as idml', reopen, then export.
If no go, rename your images folder (if separate) to break the links to images, and try exporting just the previews (you can't use this output, but it will tell you if there's a bad original image file). If a bad image, open images and re-save.
If still no go, try a full computer shut down and try again...

Images: CMYK to RGB in photoshop or just export PDF in Indesign as CMYK?

Hello again,
This community has been of great help no end thus far.
For my booklet, i would say 90% of the layout is images created in Illustrator. What is best practice here for scans or images which have been screen printed or ar basically RGB?
I am unsure whether it is worthwhile converting images to CMYK in photsohop and then playing with them in Illustrator and then finally placing in Illustrator because of the following:
Why do this if on "export PDF" i can use press settings. Would this not convert EVERYTHING in my Indesign booklet to CMYK ready material???
I'm unsure what to do?
Best Regards
Don

The only reason you might want to convert to CMYK before export is if, and this is the most important factor, you already know the correct output profile for the device on which this will be printed and you will NEVER want to repurpose the art for another device, and if you want to be able to tweak the image and sharpen after conversion.
If all you were going to do in Photoshop is convert to CMYK, and not do addtional edits after, there is no advantage, at all, to doing that over converting on export from ID.

Indesign 2014 exporting pdf for web large fiel size

I am exporting an Indesign 2014 file to pdf print for web. I have tried smallest file size, Acrobat 4 & 5 and also selected transparency flattener when exporting pdf. File comes out to 12MB either way. I have gone into Adobe pdf and optimized the pdf and comes out around 11MB. The Indesign file has some small photoshop images also layered vector AI file. I have flattened the AI file and placed that image in Indesign but file is still large. With the AI file I have exported it as a jpeg and placed that in Indesign and file comes out fine for web under 1 MB. Checking with the group if there is a way that Indesign can export the AI file without replacing it as a jpeg.

Checking with the group?
The best and most logical way would be to export a PDF from the AI and place that one, so ID just needs to copy. ID is not an AI-to-PDF converter.

How to export pdf from numbers with page breaks

I am trying to export a pdf from numbers that contains page breaks. When i print the page breaks are created for printing automatically and i like scrolling with no page breaks while working on spreadsheet. But, if export pdf the file becomes one long scrolling page. Which is good on screen but when email recipient tries to print, it prints to a single page and type face is impossibly tiny to read. I would like to export a view in which page breaks are included but can not seam to find the process (i have recently switched from excel to numbers).

One thing you might try (if you haven't already) is to pretend you are printing your numbers document, but after you press the "Print..." button (perhaps after doing the "Print setup" thing) do "Save as PDF" instead of just printing it. Presumably, this gives you the PDF that is used to do the print job.

Best practice export PDFs for Pad viewing?

Have an emergency question here:
A client has asked us to find out what export settings our former graphic designer used when he took copies of the client's InDesign files and exported PDF files that were higher quality than those exported by the client's in-house designer. Our designer has since moved to another state.
So, I'm asking here for advice we can relay to the client. His large job is due tomorrow. Although we'll take the PDFs and output them for Web use, this is not the usual stripped-down to basics situation. The results will have to look good on an iPad first of all (also on on Web pages), which means the PDFs we start from need to be higher quality than those usually destined for Web use. The entire publication is photo-intensive with many people pictures where clean appearance is important. Of course the pages also contain text, so that has to be crisp as well.
As I said, we lost our InDesign guru, and the client's designer is being faced with a new challenge. The client is calling me and asking How soon? How soon?
Help? Thanks in advance.

Steve: If these are bitmaps inside a PDF that's going to be viewed on the iPad, you cannot rely on its "native resolution". Think about this: What if the original page size of this PDF is 5.5" x 8"? What if it is 20" x 32"? Which one will show the images "at their native resolution"?

Exporting PDF to Word with Acrobat 8 - Does this work?

Has anyone had any success with a decent export-to-Word using Acrobat 8 (from CS3)?
Acrobat 7 is worthless for this. I suspect the woeful results have much to do with how the PDF was made. If it came from InDesign or Illustrator, and has layers, that will no doubt flummox wonky old Word.
Or, is it the wonky "export to Word" function that's wonky? I see there is also "Export to RTF" which is much the same file format as .doc. You get exactly the same crazy results.
Here at my job, they have determined the best way to get a decent Word doc out of what we're publishing is to export each individual text box from InDesign as "RTF". Then open word and wrangle all the bits.
This is time consuming and senseless - certainly the technology exists to convert PDFs to Word cleanly and perfectly.
Or ... is Adobe just telling us, by quietly setting us up to fail, that we shouldn't be using Word at all? So they're not going to bother to make this work?
Sadly, at my gig, we need to do this. Our clients are dinosaurs, and the average T-Rex is deathly afraid of Acrobat Reader and PDFs.

< Frankly, I don't really give a lot of thought to employers who refuse PDFs for graphic design positions. It's like asking me to retouch a photo using MacPaint.>
A resume is a document, not a design sample. A lot of employers do not want "designed" resumes at all. They want simple searchable text resumes. Even using special formatting features in Word can mess up their processes. HR departments could care less how pretty it is, all they want is data. You'll need to impress the design manager at the interview, after HR has passed it on. Even the hiring manager may find a highly designed resume to be annoying and difficult to read.
Of course if that's not where you want to work, that's up to you, but you might be turning down excellent design positions by insisting they accept things your way instead of doing things their way! ;-)

Best Way to Export PDF for Press w/ Grayscale Images

Hi, we've been trying to move to a PDF based workflow for sending files to printers if possible so that all color conversion can take place at the final step of creating the PDF. This way, all images can remain RGB in their native color space.
But I just had to create a PDF that had a mix of images in it. Some were typical RGB, some had already been converted to CMYK (probably US SWOP), and some were true grayscale images.
When I created the PDF, I set it to convert all colors to the destination profile, which in this case was just US SWOP because the printer didn't have a more specific profile to suggest (most don't). It appears that the images converted properly, but the the grayscale images are using just the K channel (which I suppose is to be expected).
A while back we printed a fully grayscale piece where all images were converted to a specially created SWOP profile that had modified GCR curves to have most of the data still represented by the black channel, but with some nice CMY thrown in as the tones deepened. The result was amazing. The images had no color cast, but were a nice rich grayscale. The printer was very impressed as well.
A) So what would be the best workflow to incorporate mixed color images, and still have the grayscale images turn out nice & rich? Do I have to convert all images manually first (trying to avoid having to do this)?
B) If the printer doesn't offer a profile, and probably doesn't fully understand or utilize color management, are we best to supply the PDF file converted to US Web Coated SWOP because that is what THEY would be most used to getting? This job, however, will be sheet-fed on a matte paper with a satin AQ.
THANKS! Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Trying to refine our workflow here.

I would love to learn more about how to choose an InDesign working color space when you don't know the end printer (or if the end printer is clueless); how to deal with Illustrator native files that will be placed in InDesign (RGB? CMYK? Embedded profile?); how to deal with pre-existing elements that may be in the wrong CMYK color space; and possibly the option of taking color management into your own hands if the printers aren't knowledgeable; etc.
If the printer cannot provide an ICC, maybe they can state what print standard they use (GRACoL, SWOP). If you know that and the paper type, use your best judgement in selecting an ICC. Look to the IDEAlliance website, there are 2 SWOP profiles and one GRACoL profile that are good to use for coated stocks.
As far as mixing existing CMYK with RGB, opinions may be varied. Let's say you have a job, moving to Coated GRACoL 2006. You place RGB images, US Web Coated SWOP v2 CMYK images, US Web Coated SWOP v2 Illustrator, and custom GCR CMYK rich black images.
When these are placed into the GRACoL InDesign document, the default behavior is to preserve CMYK numbers. The GRACoL CMYK is assigned to all of the placed CMYK content.
Now you output a PDF with the settings you described earlier. PDF/X-4, Convert to Destination, Document CMYK (GRACoL). Even though you had US Web and GCR originally, in the PDF it is all Device CMYK (when output from ID CS4). Furthermore any user must assume that all CMYK is GRACoL, because that is the Output Intent. Also, if the GRACoL is a decent representation of the print condition, you can soft proof everything accurately in Acrobat (and InDesign for that matter).
If this PDF gets handed off to the printer, his duty is to RIP the CMYK and preserve numbers. The only number shifts will occur at the plating stage via plate calibration curves, which is not an ICC conversion.
If a CMYK - CMYK conversion is necessary, the printer must get you on the phone and let you know that he is re-converting all your CMYK content. For him to do that without informing you is, well, nuts. You've already done the conversion yourself. Every conversion is (technically) damaging,
Now assume that you output PDF/X-4 with no conversion. In that case, you have RGB and CMYK coexisting in the PDF output. Again, all CMYK should pass through the print RIP with numbers preserved. All RGB would be converted to the Output Intent already present in your PDF. If there is something wrong with that Output Intent, it's the printer's duty to get you on the phone and let you know. I say that because you, as a designer, have already soft proofed everything in the job in the GRACoL color space. If the printer wants to switch horses mid stream, he's got to let you know. (Side note – a printer taking a ownership of a special CMYK - CMYK conversion is highly unlikely. If they had a shop CMYK, they would have given it to you in the first place).
In summary – it is the print industry standard to preserve incoming CMYK numbers. If a client gives me a job full of US Web Coated SWOP v2, I can't very well treat that the same as incoming RGB and start converting to a different CMYK. CMYK is already cooked. If you re-cook it it stands to get burned. The only time CMYK-CMYK is warranted is (a) when Total Ink Limit is a factor (uncoated) or (b) the color is so far off on the proof that re-cooking only stands to help it.
What I WILL do is tell the client that they may get a better print result if they either supply RGB with no predetermined CMYK destination (I convert to press CMYK), or they use a different CMYK that more accurately describes the print condition.

Problem with cmyk transparency blending in Indesign cs6

Hello everyone! Please give me someone an information about this issue...
All i have in indesign is cmyk color space in all contents, i have set up the transparency blending option to CMYK (edit > transparency blending > cmyk) but when i set the gradient feather on image 1 i have very bad result the transparency is greyscaled not transparent.
I try everything but nothin works for me, please help me somebody.
example 1 show the bad result in cmyk blending transparency
example 2 show the better result with rgb blending transparency with cmyk contents !!!
why i can not set the cmyk transparency blending option? because i have bad result and i do not uderstand that

please explain me the difference in this proces because i do not understand that...
The effect of transparency changes depending on the color mode, that's why you get this warning when you try to change color modes in Photoshop when there is transparency:
I can replicate your problem in Photoshop by layering transparent black on an RGB and CMYK version of the same image (Here are the 2 example files—http://www.zenodesign.com/forum/TransExample.zip) :
InDesign makes things even more complex because you can have different transparent color modes on the same page and you can choose different blending spaces. If color is important I take the extra time to create transparency in a Photoshop RGB file where there's more color contol and I can see the affect of a CMYK conversion and flattening.

Full-quality export settings for use with Xbox 360

Greetings, all.
I use Rivet to stream video from my Mac to my Xbox 360. Recently I purchased a Sony HDR-HC5 HDV camera, and I want to see that video on my TV at full quality. I don't have an HDMI cable or a DVI-to-HDMI cable, so my only option is to stream this video to the 360 via Rivet.
To accomplish this, I have been trying to export my video at full quality from iMovie HD 6, but one of a couple things happens: 1- the resolution is intolerably low (I want 1080i), 2- the 360 complains about an unsupported format. I've tried exporting in QT format with expert settings, but no matter what I try, I have been unable to find a combination that produces 1080i that can be viewed on the 360.
Surely somebody else on here has gone through this exercise and has figured out what works. If you have any info on this, please share! I searched through the archives and didn't find anything useful. I've also searched on Google and the answer is still elusive.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, but the Xbox will in fact view MPEG-4, which iMovie can export. The only problem I'm having is with the quality of the output. The quality is in the movie that is exported, not in the Xbox's viewing of the movie - the movie looks just as bad on my Mac mini as it does thru my Xbox...
With experimentation, I think I'm getting closer to my goal...

I want to print or export (PDF) a design with a indication of the used pantone colors without the separations so that our customer can see them (not CMYK)

Before i used CS illustrator i was able to indicate the used pantone colors on a print or PDF with coreldraw.
Can anyone tell me how to make such a print with CS6.
My clients have to see the used Pantone colors in the design (not CMYK)

Add your spot colors to your swatches panel (Window> Swatch Library> Color Books> Pantone+ Solid Coated>)
In the fly-out menu on the swatches panel, select all unused swatches and delete. Also delete any unused swatch groups.
File> Document set-up> make the bleed .5".
Use the type tool to indicate the spot colors on the outside edge of the bleed area, make the type color match the indicated spot color.
Save as PDF. This PDF printed with bleed will show the spot colors. Alternately, you could select "add crop marks and color bar" in the print settings, which should also indicate the spot colors.
In InDesign you can add a Slug area to your page, where the spot colors would typically be added.
