Exported PDF changes colour depending on software its viewed on

Hi
I've searched on the forums but can't find a solution to my problem. I export my design to PDF in indesign CS6 and looks fine on my Windows 8.1 laptop, but when the printer company open it up in their software it changes colour. I can replicate it viewing on my iphone for some reason.
Please see the below pictures to see what I mean:
Correct colours:

PDF export settings:

Please let me know if you need anymore details.
Thanks
Stephen

@Stephen – you told us where you see the incorrect colors. But you did not tell us where the printing company sees the incorrect color. What is there application? An iPhone has no color management. It is no color proofing device. Not at all!
As Willi already pointed out: Acrobat Pro will qualify, Adobe Reader will qualify.
"Correct color" is a wide field… ;-)
And on not-callibrated monitors or devices the numbers of individual colors count (always coupled with their output intent, of course).

How can I change where an applet focuses its view

I'm writing a scrolling marquee applet and in order to scroll up, out of sight or scroll Left out of sight, I have to be able to draw my strings with negative x & y values which seem to not be allowed.
I figure if I draw my marquee with the upper left corner located at around 300, 50, (instead of 0,0 ) I won't have to worry about drawing to negative coordinates.
Is there anyway to set the applet so that when it opens in a browser, the upper left hand corner of the visible applet would begin at 300, 50 instead of 0, 0, by default?
Charlene English

when the text is at 0,0... it is still in view of the user. 0,0 is, so far, the extreme upper right hand corner of the scrolling marquee. If I wanted the text to scroll off screen to the left, I would have to start assigning negative values to the x component of drawString. This is the reason I want to offset the whole marquee by 300, 50. My Marquee is 350, 30 in size, so if I offset my Marquee without being able to control the view of the applet, I'd have an applet on my page (650, 80) in size and the marquee would be in the lower right hand corner.
What I'm shooting for is an applet that is (350, 30) in size with it's upper left hand corner located at 300, 50.

Export pdf and save as using digits.pdf eliminating all the text characters from the source file.

Hi all,
Usually when we export pdf from indesign or whatever software,,, the pdf file naming will be as per source file...
eg., 123456_dfdfjljf_ULCC.indd will be exported and saved as 123456_dfdfjljf_ULCC.pdf.
my request is "the pdf should be saved as 12345.pdf avoiding all the characters following first digits.
hint: first digists may be more or less than 4 digits....
My request is any number of digits should be saved as 23232.......pdf and avoding the following characters.
please help me... i have hell lot of pdf to export from indesign.......
thanks
bobylon.

There is no "whatever" here - when you export from InDesign or other software each piece of software makes its own naming decisions. It isn't an Acrobat or JavaScript thing at all.

Colour change in identically exported PDFs: InDesign CS5 to CS6

Artwork turns out with a greener hue in a PDF Print document exported using InDesign CS6 trial software that has ruined a whole print run.
This catalogue has been printed in past years using CS4 and CS5 software, each time the colours in the exported PDF proof, PDF Print file and InDesign files being accurate and matching perfectly.
This time I used a trial of InDesign CS6 - Importing the same mother file as previous years and working on the document. When exporting the document however, despite using identical settings to export PDF files in the past, the exported PDFs turn out with a greener hue than the previous CS5 PDFs. I trialed a few different kinds of colour conversions in the PDF export window (i.e. 'no conversion' to 'convert to destination - RGB') just to see what happened - and all turned out with the same result. The colour change is small but this was exxaggerated at print and as a result the colours
looked drastically different from the catalogue the year before. Printing aside, (as it's a whole other ballgame), it came down to this slight PDF colour change.
I'm wondering if anyone can help explain this - does CS6 handle colour exporting differently to CS5?

Hi Eugene,
Looking up the settings, they say the following:
InDesign CS5: Unsynchronised "settings are not synchronised for consistent colour" (odd; CS5 version is where the file exported with accurate colours)
InDesign CS6: Synchronised "using the same colour settings for consistent colour management" (CS6 version exported with a colour change)
Another thing I've realised that might be an issue:
The product images are still in RGB format (supplied by the photographer), where everything else in the artwork is in CMYK format. I've run a test export where I've converted everything to CMYK and exported it to a PDF.
The results:
InDesign CS5: Same colours consistently on both PDFs with RGB images and with all CMYK images.
InDesign CS6: Green hue across PDF with RGB images in it, Correct colours in PDF with all CMYK images.
So is this where the problem lies? The CS6 software having Synchronised colour settings shows a colour change when RGB photos are exported to PDF?
Let me know your thoughts...

I have subscribed to Adobe Export PDF for one year and paid the fee per my credit card. I just received an sms to inform me of the amount of R230.61 was deducted today by Adobe Systems Software. If you have charged for another year, please cancel that service and refund me as I did not request renewal for another year. I don't find this service very useful as documents converted to Word is not really usable when trying to do changes and amendments to the document.
Please confirm.

How to import pdf with hyperlink and and maintain its hyperlink while exporting it as HTML?

We can import pdf in indesign either using plaacemultiplefile script or using place submenu under file menu but both of them import pdf as graphic object and lost its all hyperlink. no doubt when i again export its as pdf than hyperlink are there as it is but when i export it as HTML,IDML or other format than than all hyperlink are lost so is there any way to maintain this if no than is there any way to write some new script utilities which will do the same .one solution i think is first convert pdf into docx and than import it as docx indesign import it as text frame and maintain all hyperlink but in this process pdf file lost its some formating while converting it into docx .

I probably should've remembered "rtfm" before writing all that. It seems to me now that I need to create a Master Page for each of the different layouts, then dynamically select the one I want to use at run-time, maybe with a script event ? The Master Page creation is a bit messy ... the only way I seem to be able to get multiple Master Pages is to open each Word doc, let Livecycle import it, then copy all the content into a new Master Page in my main document. That is, there doesn't seem to be a way to import a series of Word docs directly into separate Master pages of a single Livecycle form. I'll continue with the "read" part of "rtfm" ...

Export to PDF changing font size

Hi,
I have gone through the posts on this topic and was wondering if anyone has a formula to predict what will happen to the text or what looks best in PDF?
I am using Arial 10,11 and 12 on some reports and Times New Roman 8, 9, 10 and 11 on others.
The worst effect is that all reports have a group of text boxes on the top right hand corner which have borders.
The reports are basically text documents so have lots of word wrapped text. In CR these paragraphs are close to the right hand edge in line with the text boxes at the top.
In PDF the right hand edge of the paragraph moves in by 3-4cms. Setting the paragraph to Justify rather than left Justify keeps it at the right, but has lots of white space which looks bad.
regards
ps

Try with this:
To resolve the behavior
Set the resolution of the default printer of the local computer experiencing the issue to 1200 DPI. Most printers have a default setting of 600 DPI.
Create two registry keys to prevent the crxf_pdf.dll from decreasing in font size.
Click Start > Run. Type "regedit". The Registry Editor appears.
Create the following keys for Crystal Reports XI with the defined values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts

Set both registry key values to 1 to turn them on.

After purchasing the Export PDF Online software when I attempt to perform a "File/Save As" when viewing a document on the web it locks up windows explorer. I receive "FIle Save As - Not Responding"

After purchasing the Export PDF Online software when I attempt to perform a "File/Save As" when viewing a document on the web it locks up windows explorer. I receive "FIle Save As - Not Responding"

I think you may be correct. It is coincidental with my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10.
I have installed IE 11 (11.0.9600.17690)
It may be an Adobe Reader problem in that the "tools/file save as" dialog is completely empty. No local directories are displayed for saving to. When I try to Close(X) the "File Save As" box it pops up a message box on top that says "Adobe Reader is not Responding" It locks up all of my IE windows, not just the one with the PDF doc.
I need to go go Task Manager and stop the IE task. All my browser windows are then closed.
That is the only way to recover from the "Adobe Reader is Not Responding" message.

Oswald font changes every time I export PDF

Hi,
Every time I export to PDF I get a totally different font. The font I'm using is Oswald.
I thought Pages was supposed to embed fonts automatically?
It doesn't matter if I export to PDF or go to Print and Save as PDF. In both cases it changes the font.
Any tips?
Thanks!!
Anja

Hello Anja,
There may be an issue with your Mac's font cache. Shutting your Mac down, then starting up in Safe Mode (by holding shift when starting up), then restarting once more will reset the font cache and may help get your exported PDFs to have the correct font.
