Exported PDF Colours Non-Matching!

The colours of my exported PDF file from InDesign is different from what they look in InDesign itself?!
I have tried exporting in all settings.
Please help!!

Where can I find the Output Preview in Acrobat?

  • Is ID exported PDF considered non-editable? (In the case of view&print embedding permission fonts)

    Hiya!
    I am a graphic designer and I use InDesign 5.5.
    I have a question about font embedding when using the InDesign's export as a PDF in "print" format feature.
    Many fonts allow embedding into digital documents only for the purpose of viewing and printing.
    In addition to this the font EULA's mention that the embedded font may not be used to edit the document.
    Is it possible to create a non-editable PDF with embedded fonts?
    Is choosing PDF export option "print" the key here, or embedding the fonts as a subset?
    Isn't it still possible to edit PDF in Acrobat with touch up text tool? Or use some third party editing program?
    OR Is a PDF file - with fonts embedded as a subset -  non-editable as such, or at least considered to be non-editable enough?
    Or is it just that the file doesn't really have to be non-editable, but it must not be edited...
    How do I ensure that? Do I even need to ensure that?
    Whole thing seems so controversial.
    Hope someone can shed some light into this!!!
    -Ahlax-

    Ahlax,
    There are several separate concepts here.
    First, PDF is really a final form file format. It wasn't designed as an editable format for layout such as InDesign's .indd format ane Word's .doc and .docx formats. Although PDF files may be tagged with contextual metadata, typical content of PDF files contains no context in terms of words, sentences, paragraphs, columns, etc. It is simply graphical objects including text fragments, vector artwork, and raster images at a particular place on a page with specified graphical attributes (color, transparency, etc.). As such producing a full PDF file editor first requires definition of what it actually means to edit such a file given the characteristics of PDF files.
    That having been said, Acrobat and various third party plugins to Acrobat as well as third party applications provide some degree of editability for PDF files, recognizing that such edits are definitely not at the abstractual level that you get with InDesign. You can “touch-up” text, but doing a re-layout is effectively impossible. In most cases, it is better (in terms of time, effort, and resultant quality) to go back to the source document, make the changes there, and then regenerate the PDF.
    Fonts are a totally separate issue. Adobe products will not embed any font into a PDF file unless the font allows for at least preview and print embedding. For PDF forms, Acrobat requires a font to allow editability embedding. However for text touch-up and other edits, Acrobat never uses the embedded font. Such edits are only allowed if the user has the same font actually installed on their system.
    In terms of forcing a PDF file to be totally non-editable, that is done by applying security to the file when you export the PDF file from InDesign (the Security tab) or in Acrobat Pro after PDF creation (go to the Security tab under Document Properties (Ctrl-D) to set such security).

  • Exporting PDF at non-default resolutions?

    I'm working in Pages 09 (ver. 4.3).
    My default export choices of PDF are Good, Better, Best.  Good is not good enough resolution.  Better is too high a meggawattage.  Is there any way I can do something in between the two?
    Or perhaps export as a 'Best', and then somehow convert it to something a bit less resolution than 'Better'?  Using Preview?  Using Adobe Acrobat?
    Or is there some marvelous hidden preference somewhere in the bowels of Pages that would allow me more control?
    All ears,
    Ben

    Hi Peter,
    Aha.  Thank you.  So it's just the dpi that is changing.  I was wondering.
    Yes, I'm trying to find something more manageable for downloads, faster, and yet still of a certain quality.
    I notice all text is (I suddenly blanked on the graphic term ... meaning scalably sharp; I think it's time for my morning coffee).
    It'll be an interesting experiment... resizing the pics to the actual dimensions used in the document.  I wish I'd done a pre-select in Aperture (of all the pics I used), and put them in a single folder.  I could just batch re-export them at the appropriate size.  In fact, that's the way I'll have to do it anyhow methinks.
    Thank you kindly for your help Peter, very much appreciated...

  • InDesign exported pdf viewed in Adobe Reader & Acrobat + Transparency

    Hi.
    In InDesign I have a tiff image with a blue color background. This image is on top of a colored rectangle with the same blue. I have matched the color settings so it does infact match & prints out well from InDesign. I also have a couple feathered images in InDesign as well.
    I made the destination color under the export pdf Output section match the color working space.
    As I said..everything prints well from InDesign.
    I make a .pdf & open it in Reader, which also looks fine on screen, but when printed, I get these glowing edges around both the tiff image & feathered images. Is there a way to change the color settings in Reader? Or am I totally missing something else? Transparency spaces??
    In Acrobat, only the vector images look a little jagged on screen, but prints fine. Is there a reason for this also?
    Thank you.
    Jules

    Peter, my apologies for not getting back to you sooner than this, I've been away from my Mac since I posted this.
    Thank you for your very kind offer to look at the files for me. In between time a friend has been over and apparently altered some settings on my iMac and the problem seems to have been resolved. (I hope!)
    Thanks again - I daresay I'll be back with more questions before long...

  • File won't upload to Export PDF

    I purchased Export PDF and none of my documents will load from my computer to be converted.  I just get the big blue spinner of death.

    How do you initiate ExportPDF - from Adobe Reader, or directly on the https://exportpdf.acrobat.com/ website?

  • 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...

    Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

    First place to start with is the designer. Export from there and see if you get the same issue. If you do, create a forum post in the Report Design forum:
    SAP Crystal Reports
    Also, make sure you have SP 6 for CR 10:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100005985482008E/cr10win_en_sp6.zip
    You will need SP 6 runtime also. Search here for the runtime;

    If none of the above helps, you will have to try this with CR 2008 (12.x) as CR 10 has been out of support for a number of years and no fixes will be released. If you want, you can share a report with saved data with me and I can do the export using CR 2008. You will then have to try to duplicate the issue in Adobe. Alternatively, you can download CR 2008 eval copy from here;

    Hi deborahn8439367,
    I've checked your account using the email address that you use to post here in the forums. I see two attempts to purchase an ExportPDF subscription, but it appears there was an issue with the payment. I don't see any other subscriptions for you under that email address.
    Is it possible that you signed up back in November using a different email address? If so, make sure that you're using that email address/Adobe ID to log in to your subscription.

  • 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

  • How do I get a refund on Export PDF that has ALREADY been agreed

    On 1/21-1/22 I tried to 'renew' a subscription for Export PDF. By some error (maybe mine - I just dont understand the whole thing) my Bank was immediately charged for two subscriptions, each at a different price. I immediately "chat"ted with several  reps (it was difficult to get onto the chat and find out how to cancel) and was assured that both would be cancelled and refunded. They weren't!
    I waited a week. Was again frustrated by the chat hookup, and tried the 'cloud' retail product tel #, assuming it was wrong but that I could be switched to the correct one. Had a very pleasant chat, was assured that both would be cancelled and refunded, received 2 e-mails confirming the cancellations, each with a seperate "Case #". Felt pretty good! It had only taken me a week of reasonably diligent effort to get a very simple thing done! IT WASN"T DONE! (Yes, I apologize - I know I'm loud - but by now I've got steam coming out of my ears!)
    Today I got an e-mail, telling me that the refund had been processed and the case # would be closed. I looked at my bank, and only one had been refunded! I reviewed all the other e-mails and the notes from the telephone calls and chats to be sure I hadn't misunderstood something. But, no I hadn't. I went to my Adobe on-line and looked up 'my orders' history. Sure enough one had been invoiced and refunded ( the lesser charge of the two) but the other had ONLY BEEN INVOICED - NOT CANCELLED. And it seems that every piece of this transaction generates a new "order" , "case" or some other "reference #" - none of which are tied together, except by the invoice amount, when it is mentioned - which it typically IS NOT.
    My question, then, is : How can I get past this absolute frustration over every aspect of my interaction with Adobe and GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF?????????

    Hi Stacy,
        What frustration? (Just kidding !)
        As I mentioned, one of the two charges has been  refunded. Credited by
    Adobe on Jan 28, I believe I received it in my bank on Jan  30.
        The other charge, $25.37 of order # AD011017507,  has not been received
    by my bank yet. But this can't be that much of a surprise,  and has nothing
    to do with "10 business days" for refunds to post.
        To this minute, "My Orders" on Adobe website shows  that the order #
    AD011017507  was invoiced on January 22, but that no  credit invoice has been
    posted against this order to this moment!
        Can you begin to understand the frustration of  being unable, through
    all attempts to untangle this mess, starting within  one hour of the original
    order, with I believe nine different "Chats",  telephone calls and, finally
    a "problem" posting,  stretching over more  than thirteen days. Of course
    it doesn't make much sense to devote this much  attention to less than $50
    worth of stuff, but I do not let things like this  dangle.
        And can you imagine how loathe I am to deal with  Adobe for fear of
    some real problem?
        At any rate, I would certainly be pleased if you  can suggest a way for
    me to extricate myself from this. Any help would be  GREATLY appreciated!
        Thanks for your time and any trouble,
        Stephen Ellis

    I have created a crystal report by using VS 2005, there are some hyperlinks inside the report.

    It seems a bug, i google this issue, some people can export to RTF first and then in RTF save as PDF, then the link should be there. I tried it, it works, but it totally mess up my report layout.

    Hi folks.  I need to produce a pdf/a-1b compliant pdf from an InDesign document and it is giving me fits.  Because InDesign offers no native option to export pdf/a-1b compliant files, I have been exporting my document with the available presets (I've tried all of them), then running the pdf/a-1b conversion in Acrobat.  However, this conversion fails every time, usually on font subset and colour issues depending on how I set up the initial export from InDesign.  The only way I have managed to get a file to pass the conversion is to export from InDesign, save that pdf as images, rebuild the original pdf from the image files, then run the pdf/a-1b preflight from Acrobat.  Trouble is that this results in a serious loss of resolution that I can't have for my purposes.  Anyone have any ideas on how I can produce a pdf from InDesign that will pass the pdf/a-1b preflight in Acrobat?

    You have to do it in Acrobat Pro after PDF export.

  • How to create a hyperlink when exporting .pdf?

    Hi guys,
    I've been doing quite a bit of research on how to make an object into a hyperlink when exporting my .ai as .pdf.
    So far I've come across guides that show the method of using Object > Slice and the Attributes' Image Map, but none of them seem to work when I open my exported .pdf.
    How do you guys create objects with links when exporting .pdf?
    Thanks in advance.

    InDesign, most probably.
    Or create the PDF in Illustrator and use Acrobat (Pro) afterwards to make links.
    Depends on what's inside the document.

  • CS3:  Export PDF crash...located the source, now what?

    InDesign CS3 keeps crashing on page 86 or 87 of a file I'm trying to Export to PDF.  I know this from watching the progress bar move across the screen, everything is fine until the status box shows page 86/87, then poof, InDesign disappears and requests to send an error report.  I was under the impression this was being caused by the Export PDF settings.  With printer's marks enabled, the Export PDF crash occurs on page 86.  Turn printer's marks off and the crash happens on page 87.  So I tried all kinds of things with Export PDF settings but came up empty.
    Then I messed around with pages 86 and 87.  Removed text frames from page 86 and tried various combinations with Export PDF.  Did the same thing on page 87, and then combinations of 86 and 87 at the same time.  No good...keeps crashing.  I removed ALL content from pages 86 and 87 and the Export PDF still crashes, even with blank pages.
    I finally got a clue when moving text frames to other pages.  Both pages have 4 text frames each.  When I moved the top text frame on page 87 to a different page -- in this case I moved it to page 98 -- the Export PDF crashed on page 96.  Not page 98 where it was located, but page 96. Weird, but it gave me a clue.
    Long story short:
    Export PDF causes InDesign to crash on page 86 or 87 unless the uppermost text frame on page 87 is moved to a non-printing layer. The text frame can remain on page 87 or be on the pasteboard; either way, it must be non-printing to prevent a crash in Export PDF mode.
    Any suggestions?  I've already searched the text frame and nothing out of the ordinary catches my eye.  The text frame is necessary for a book project.  I can't consolidate it with another frame.
    Thanks in advance!

    My memory is not so great after all...
    The bug was in CS4 and it was fixed in 6.0.4. I remembered the rest correctly...
    Here's the tech note:
    Type on a Path fails to draw in output (PDF, Print, JPEG) on the 35th and subsequent spreads. [2297179]
