Gradient feather display problem in browser

Hi,
I have two images/photos to which I applied a gradient feather effect. The documment printed fine, but when the PDF is viewed online in Fire Fox, the gradient feather no longer displays and only the sharp edges of the photo are visible. Is there a specific setting when saving to PDF that I need to select for best viewing online? I'm on a Mac CS 5.5.
Thanks!

Thanks for the link to the disucssion. I really didn't get a concrete solution from it though.....
@KodaNuka – I don't think there is a simple method achieving the things you want.
An effect like "Gradient Feather" applied to a text frame most likely will force the text to outline paths during output. No Hyperlink will survive that.
It's best to decouple the Hyperlink from the effect by sandwiching a text frame with the hyperlink above the text frame with the effect setting fill color (and stroke color, if applied) to "None".
If that will not work out, you have to redo the hyperlinks in Acrobat Pro.
To view all that successfully in the PDF viewer of your browser (Firefox in your case) you have to output to sRGB and flatten all transparency effects. If you could do that with your PDF Export settings or through PostScript output and distilling to PDF is up to you. Another chance will be flattening and changing the color space in Acrobat Pro if necessary…

Converting GIF images to JPG - display problems in browser

I am currently writing a program that uses the ImageIO package (javax.imageio.*) to take GIF and PNG images and convert them to JPG images. The program seems to convert them correctly, especially for the PNG images, but the converted GIF images don't open in a browser. They open just fine in Windows Picture and Fax viewer, but when I try to open them in IE or Firefox, it only diplays the little red 'x'.
Is anyone familiar enough with Images and the ImageIO package in Java that they may have some insight on why these converted GIF files won't display in a browser.

Bonjour,
In my [website|http://iweb.debutersurmac.com>, all the images are JPG files,
By default iWeb '09 converts images to JPG (yes, it's true)...
...unless you use masked images*
!http://i32.servimg.com/u/f32/09/02/44/99/masked10.jpg!
Crop your images (with Preview) before you paste them in iWeb. Don't use mask, Unmask an image if it's masked. That's the trick!
!http://i32.servimg.com/u/f32/09/02/44/99/unmask10.jpg!
(* images with transparency areas (ex : some PNG and GIF), rotation and shapes in iWeb make also PNG files in your website.)

Problems with gradient feather when saving as pdf

I have an InDesign CS4 file which has a high-quality grayscale jpg with a CMYK jpg on top of it. The later has a gradient feather effect applied to it. When I export to pdf, some people (I believe with an older version of Reader or Preview) cannot view the gradient. From a computer like this, it prints the most transparent part of the gradient as the entire gradient, so I think it's still there but very hard to see.
I haven't been able to test it in Reader because I can't find an older version, but I know it doesn't work in an older version of Preview (3.0.9 is what I tried). However, everything I've tried hasn't worked—I've tried changing the Transparency Blend Space to RGB, Exporting as Acrobat 4.0 (which works but looks horrible); I've exported as Press Quality and High Quality Print, and played with profile settings. I've also made sure that all my graphics and profiles match as CMYK, because originally they didn't. The only thing that works is if I open it in my version of Mac Preview (5.0.2) and then Save As a pdf from it. But I'm afraid the colors and perhaps quality are affected in so doing. I've also googled this to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problem? Can someone help?
This is what is should look like.
This is what it does. Notice the color is still in the "contact us" (and all the colors on p.2 are fine).

What version campatibility for Acrobat do you have selected in your export settings? Changing to Acrobat 4 will make it compatible with 4 and later, but you'll wind up falttening the the transparency and heve nasty looking white stitching lines all over the place that will show on screen and print on most desktop devices, not to mention a loss of interactivity, I think.
Reader is free... Tell these people to download an upgrade to the most recent version that will run on their systems rather than trying to dumb down your file.

Open PDF Slow Problem and Edit Registry to Disable "Display PDF in Browser"

There is around 400 users who were installed Acrobat Reader 9. But it is found that they open our intranet pdf very slow due to NETBIOS problem. The alternative solution is to disable the browser integration feature.
But how can I set Group Policy or Windows Registry to disable the "Display PDF in browser" feature for all the users?

If your users use Internet explorer, you can disable the add-on. to disable the add-on you will need to know the version of IE they are using. the most commonly used scripts to do that are kixstart or .VBS scripts.
e-mail me if you need any help with the script

Browser display problem in firefox

After reinstall Vibe 3.3 to new server. Browser display problem in firefox. Last column only display half in the table. But IE is display fine. Any suggestion?

Then you could try the workaround mentioned in comment 6: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=786587#c6
According to the bug report it was found in 3.3, so either they had this problem before or they used an older version firefox than 16 prior to the server migration.

I've figured out the problem.
the lesson:
make sure you have all your class files in the same folder thatyour html file will be referencing.
in my situtation, when I compiled, it created three .class files, and I only had the main .class file in the folder my html file was referencing, not all three of them.

IDCS3 Gradient Feather tool postscript problems

I have noticed that when a customer or myself uses the Gradient Feather effect in a page, the rip I work with at my company (Kodak Prinergy> adobe PS3) will not rip the page and fails. or as my customers have found, it will not create a PDF?
Can any help on this subject, as I have to find workarounds on most jobs, but some it is impossible?

Derek,
I don't have access to a Prinergy RIP, but I've definitely successfully made PDF files when an IDCS3 Gradient Feather was incorporated in a page.
You'll need either to provide an example file, or give more information about when this happens for you for us to help you.
Does the Prinergy RIP have the latest patches and updates to its software applied? Bugs can occur in RIP software, I'm sure you realize. It may be patched in a later software version.

Color difference after adding gradient feather

Hi,
As soon as I apply gradient feather to the black box the image color changes drastically.
The imported image is a psd file & in grayscale mode.
This problem exists in CS6 & CC version of indesign
Any suggestions on fixing this?
Regards,
Arihant

I bet it actually looks like that in Overprint Preview before you add the feather, too.
ID does not recognize grasycale color profiles, on import. It takes the numbers and puts them into the K channel of the document's CMYK working space. The transparency effect forces ID to use the overprint preview to display the effect and you get a more accurate on-screen rendition of what your output should look like. It could be lighter or darker, depending on the gray and CMYK profiles involved.
If you want to get a better idea of how your grayscale will look coming out of ID when you are doing the conversion in Photoshop you can create a custom gray space inthe Photoshop color settings by choosing "Load Gray" from the dropdown, then choosing the CMYK profile that you use in ID from the load dialog, and the Black Ink channel will be used.

Centering and displaying 100% in browser won't work.

I believe I followed the instructions that were posted previously and I did some reading about centering a page and displaying the page at 100% but I can't seem to make them work correctly. I might have a conflict or something can you help.
I designed a website which was 1000px wide and now they want it changed (they want an image on both sides of the page)-so instead of changing it around completely and trying to mess with the areas and buffers and all of that fun stuff. I decided to leave the #container (which is were all the data for the site is and were as the template is applied to other pages the size will change -the height will change but the width should stay 100px.)that was there and then wrapp it up completly in another div tag which i labeled #master_container then I inserted 2 more div tags and placed the images on either side as is desired. I followed the instructions above (because now the site is soo big displaying in a browser is diffacult). I need the site to do 3 things.
-i need it to display centered on the page so that no matter what browser it is displayed in or what size screen it is viewed on it fits the center of the screen.
-I also would like it to fit the screen of the person using it so that they see the whole page as one and there isn't a huge blank space on one of the sides -right now it is on the right.
-if you know how to make the two images on the side of the screen scroll as the person scrolls down the page-(ie-so that they don't see part of the image sometimes and other parts of it when they move farther down-wouldl like it to scroll with them as they move down the page)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!

Ok I have no idea what i am doing wrong this is the most frusterating thing I have ever done. I will never build another webpage again.
Here is the problem that I have i don't care how it gets solved but I just need it solved. this is over a week trying to solve one problem. I just don't have the time to do it anymore but I need it done.
1) this page (http://practiceuploadingsite.info/) needs to be centered. That's all just centered in the brosers that it opens in. (nothing I try seems to work)
2) every other page on that website after you click into the home page (http://practiceuploadingsite.info/Pages/home.html) is made by the application of a template. All I want to do is keep eveything the same as it is right now and just add 2 background images (one on the right and one on the left) so that this:
fits inside of the blank space of this:
preferably so the images scroll down the page because the center colum will change height but not widith depending on the page the template is applied to.
I even tried to remake the template as to include the images all at once with the div tages and the header seems to have nothing but problems and I couldn't get them to stay together correctly. they keep coming up uneven and the header that is contained on the page spans the entire container and will not just stay the way it is.
Just please tell me how to do this and you will never hear from me again.
I am uploading the site information so you have the files I am working from Idk if it is something wrong with the headers the div containers or what but almost just put my computer through the window so I don't care how to get it done just please spell it out so I can follow it correctly.
THANK YOU!!

Why is netflix having display problems on my macbook pro... HDCP compliance?

Watching Netflix and all of a sudden it says "Display Problems" Make sure your monitor is HDCP Compliant and is not setup for mirror airplay??

The issue is from Safari defaulting to HTML5 vs using Silverlight like it did in Mavericks.
So the options are, if you want to use Safari goto your Netflix account, playback preferences and turn off HTML5. This will revert to Silverlight and will AirPlay fine*in Safari.
If you want to use HTML5, just leave the setting for HTML5 on in Netflix and use Chrome, Firefox, etc.
You can't currently have both Safari and HTML5 Netflix when using AirPlay. You'd think Safari would be a little bit more powerful with Apples stances on browser extensions.

Acrobat 9.5.0 - when logged in as ONE user unselect "Display PFD in browser" don't work

Have Acrobat standard v9.5.0 running on Win7 - 64 bits. All up to date patched. On one user I can not let PDF files downloaded from the Internet open in an external window. I in the Preference I have unselected "Display FDP in browser". Then I can see the file is downloaded, but never opened. I if select "Display FDP in browser" it is (now) OK. If I uninstall IE9 and am running IE8 or Firefox, everything is fine. It is also fine if I log in as another user.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobat and reinstalled. Uninstalled IE9 and reinstalled. My conclusion is that there is something wrong with the registry HCU part for the "problem" user. I have deleted HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0 but still I have problems.
My question is: Which part of registry controls IE9 and opening PDF files downloaded from internet? How can I find the "bad registry key" for the problem user?
Thanks in advance
Harald

Is IE9 Security preventing the download of the file? IE9 has a security feature that does this and pops a dialog at the bottom of the browser window, you might want to check it out.

Windows 7 64 bit on iMac display problems and instability

I received my iMac 27" quad core with 8 gig ram & 2 x 1 TB hard drives last Friday. I'm using Boot Camp to run windows 7 64 bit on maximum 2560 x 1440 screen resolution.
I get intermittent but often display problems in windows 7. I get areas of the screen covered in little yellow dots or blue squares (never red artefacts.) This will happen at random areas of the screen, inside an open window, around borders of windows and so on. Most often the screen will go black and come back with a message in the bottom right corner of the screen saying 'Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered' with the sub message saying 'display driver ATI radeon family stopped....etc'. Sometimes I lose the screen wallpaper. Once I've had the system just shut down, once I've had Photoshop seize up and I had to do a cold reboot. Could this be an overheating problem or resolution too high problem or driver problem? Windows 7 tells me my drivers are up to date. I tried installing the drivers for the card from ATI's website which made no difference
The reason I bought a Mac is because it's the only effective way to code for the Mac family of OS's in XCode. The reason I didn't just attach a miniMac to my PC monitor was because there's rather a lot of advertising by Apple about the fact that you can use a Mac with a PC OS via Apple's own Boot Camp. Now I have a lot of Windows software (some of which is not available for the Mac or requires buying again) sitting on an unstable system. Any ideas would be much appreciated...

Sorry, that thread got moved for edit and as a user tip... which I didn't want and won't be doing....
Here is the post:
A tip and workaround for how to get ATI mobility/laptop drivers so that Windows no longer thinks the ATI is a desktop card:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11286987
Summary (my own edit steps):
1. Install Boot Camp 3.0 and upgrade to 3.1
2. Uninstall graphic drivers and run Driver Sweeper
http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/
instead of:
removing the crashing driver by going into windows 7 setup via its install cd and deleting the ati driver manaully
3. Install ATI Mobility (link)
4. Uninstall ATI (Programs control panel?) Device Manager (rollback; uninstall?)
5. Device Nanager: update driver and BROWSE BACK to 8.681 (the original apple driver that was causing freezes and purple artifacts) - navigate to /Apple/Drivers/ATI
(Apple uses) a 4850 card in the iMac, its modified a bit for apple. Enough that desktop drivers don't work, and modded-for-laptop desktop drivers don't work either.
Now the upshot of using modified drivers is that it FORCES the catalyst control panel to be installed, meaning you get a few more options to mess around with the card.
I couldn't use the original apple drive, it locks up, the newer one had banding, the newer radeon drivers direct form ATI wouldn't work until they were modded and then they cause black screens.
SO the solution, as obscure as it was, was to download ACTUAL mobility Radeon drivers - version 10.3 still, but made for laptops.
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
THESE drivers I was able to install - and here is where things changed.
THIS driver changed they way windows saw the video card in device manager.
As I mentioned before, its NOT a desktop card, its a modified laptop card, but installing mac drivers makes windows THINK its a full desktop card, and running the original 8.681 driver crashed it.
Once installed 10.3 LAPTOP driver it now appeared in device manager as a MOBILITY card.
+These Steps "should" work:+
delete ATI driver manually
reinstall apple driver after that and see if that works,
otherwise try the steps above
(mod drivers, remove via windows recovery off setup disk, install laptop drivers, reinstall apple driver over it)

Acrobat 9 "Display PDF in Browser" on IE7 crashes the browser

Hi,
Here's what is happening. My company purchased a few licenses for Adobe Acrobat Professional 9, and they were installed on some of the company laptops. These laptops are in a UAC controlled SOE environment, so the employees are restricted to do any updates/installations that requires rights. The Adobe Professional 9 was installed through SCCM advertisement, and the "Display PDF in Browser" option was enabled.We discovered that when we attempt to download any pdf files off the web, the browser would stop responding/hangs during the duration of the downloads (shown at the status bar of IE), and we can only kill off the process.
The current workaround is to disable the "Display PDF in Browser" and download the file directly. However, it came to some points where the pdf documents contains some dynamic links over https on the site is is residing. In which case, the pdf have to be open to view from the secured site for the dynamic link to works.
Previously with Adobe Reader 9, we face no such issue. Only after we installed Acrobat Professional 9, this issue surfaces.
We have tried uninstalling the Reader before installing the Acrobat to prevent any chances of conflicts, problem persisted.
Here are the versions of the software involved.
Adobe Reader v9.3
Adobe Acrobat Professional v9.0.0
Internet Explorer v7.0.6002.18005
I have looked through the forums for similar cases, unless I have missed the keywords, I do not see any similar cases.
Has anyone encountered similar issues? Would appreciate if you could share on what was done to circumvent this. Thank you!
Jiang.

Hi broger_1,
Thanks for your reply.
In regards to your query:
Is the problem seen with both Reader and Acrobat?
No, this is only seen when Acrobat is install. It is working fine when only Reader is installed.
What is your definition of a dynamic link? Post example.
At the moment, I cannot find a online example for reference. I will try to describe by example.
Let's say if I goes to https://nonexistance_site.com/brochure_ folder/broc_1.pdf, and the "Display PDF in Browser" was already enabled.
The content of the broc_1.pdf contains a hyperlink that points to "../broc_2.html"
Our issue now is the we can only download the pdf file to a folder, say c:/pdfs/broc_1.pdf, so when we tried to access the dynamic link, it will tries to locate c:/pdfs/broc_2.html, which is non-existence. And direct access to https://nonexistance_site.com/brochure_ folder/broc_2.html would not work for some reason (possibily session restriction, or something else).
What are your security settings? (is Enhanced Security enabled?)
This setting is currently disabled in the Acrobat Pro 9 preference. Should this stays as disabled?
This only happens when attempting to "download & display" any pdf files from the net, displaying of local pdf that is already downloaded is fine.

Adobe Reader X - Disable "Display PDF in Browser" via Registry

I'm trying to configure my organization's Windows workstations so that web-based PDF files open in Adobe Reader rather than in internet browsers. I have been able to configure Adobe Reader 9 installations to open web-based PDF files in Reader rather than internet browsers by using the following registry setting:
Hive
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key path
Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
Value name
bBrowserIntegration
Value type
REG_DWORD
Value data
0x0 (0)
My problem lies with Adobe Reader X: I used the following settings in attempting to prevent Adobe Reader X installations from opening web-based PDFs in internet browsers:
Hive
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key path
Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Originals
Value name
bBrowserIntegration
Value type
REG_DWORD
Value data
0x0 (0)
Hive
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key path
Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Originals
Value name
bAllowByteRangeRequests
Value type
REG_DWORD
Value data
0x0 (0)
Hive
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key path
Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\AVGeneral
Value name
bBrowserDisplayInReadMode
Value type
REG_DWORD
Value data
0x0 (0)
I've only had partial success, though. Internet Explorer respects the registry settings and opens web-based PDFs in Reader X. Firefox 14.0.1, though, ignores the registry settings and opens web-based PDFs in Firefox.
Is there a different registry setting I should be using so that Firefox sees "Display PDF in Browser" unchecked and allows web-based PDFs to be opened in Reader X? Is there another method I should be following for deploying this setting to Adobe Reader X clients?

Hi,
We'll, you've educated yourself well. Unfortunately, Acrobat products can't control what browsers do so uniform behavior is not possible. The setting is Adobe's best attempt and forcing some consistency.
The ReadMode setting only controls what happens in the UI after the PDF is open.
