How do I convert black txt to 100% black

I am using Illustrator CS3. I have a document that's set up as CMYK because I have photos and art. I want my text to be 100% black. When I highlight the text and check my color pallet it indicates 100% black. But when I open the document in PhotoShop, cmyk, and check the channels the text is showing up on all channels. What am I doing wrong?

There are many bugs in Illustrator. One is that the Color panel sometimes sticks in grayscale mode. If you click on an object that’s process black (0,0,0,100) and change the mode to Grayscale, the item will still be 100% process black, but the data defining the colour only uses grayscale values. If you then click on another process black (0,0,0,100) item, the colour will show as 100% grayscale black, even though that’s not how it is defined. Perhaps this bug is misleading you about the fill colour of your type.
A quick way to fix this is to click on an object and press X trice. This will force the Color panel to display the stroke colour instead, then switch back to the fill colour, but without improperly remembering the grayscale/CMYK toggle.
You can click on any object and then go to Select > Same > Fill Color and change the fill colour of all selected items. Just make sure you have the Color panel displaying CMYK values.

How do I export a PDF in 100% black

I am currently trying to send an ad to a local newspaper, and apparently when I export my document it's not 100% black, instead it has mixed CMYK values. How can I export a PDF in InDesign so it preserves 100% black for the printers? All of the black text in my document has the color Black which is equal to C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:100 , what is the issue? Do I need to have specific export settings for a PDF?

Use the default PDF/X-1a preset.

How to change all used colors to 100% black

It's probably a dead simple answer, but I can't find it.
Here's the thing:
In a product brochure I had to change all product drawings to 100% black.
What I did was select all unused colors from the palette, deleted them. Then changed all the used colors into 100% black (drag Global black swatch onto the other swatches while holding Alt).
In the printing office it appeared that there were still elements in the drawings that weren't in 100% black. Those elements had colors that weren't in a swatch in the color palette.
How can I change ALL the used colors, including the ones that haven't been turned into a swatch in color palette, into 100% black?
Thanks for any help!
(Illustrator CS3 is what I'm working with)

James,
I am using CS3.
It's a bit of a complicated story.
I get the drawings supplied from my customer. The drawings are made in an Autocad-like program (I forgot its name), then imported into Autocad (because that first piece of software doesn't have the right export-extensions) and then from Autocad it's exported to Illustrator.
The customer wanted to do the conversion to black themselves, because it would ease my work-load, since I wouldn't have to open and adjust all those drawings again when they have it open already.
Only they are using CS2.
I guess they'll just have to upgrade...

How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?

How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?
When I try to open the document in Illustrator and I convert to CMYK the black font converts to rich black, but to set up for Offset printintg I need the text to be only in Black (100%K).
The original source of the document is a Microsoft Word file, I have converted the Word file to Pdf in order to setup for OFfset Printing.
Thanks

I have tried that way, but the downside is that the fonts are set in gray not in a 100%K, also I have to deal with other fonts that are composites and meant to stay Full Color. I could select text by text and convert to gray but, its a 64 page document and I wouldn't want to make a expensive mistake.

How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.

How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc. Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?

> How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc. Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?
The general idea is that you colour correct photographs once, archive, and convert with or without colour changes. The archived photograph is unchanged - or we would be colour correcting the same photographs again and again and again.
If you have a photograph with a corrected exposure, you can open the photograph in the Apple ColorSync Utility, apply a colour space conversion to a grayscale appearance using the preinstalled ICC profile, save the photograph under another name, and place that in your pagination.
If you have a paginated document with corrected exposures, and any such non-scalable bitmap or scalable spline graphics as you have chosen to add, you can render the pagination as a whole to PDF through the same ICC profile, carrying out the same colour space conversion on any and all objects.
Caveat: If you intend the pagination for certain processes, in particular offset lithography, then you are probably expected not to render the type to grayscale, but rather to render it to single ink solid black. No software can determine what printing process you intend, you have to understand a bit about printing, and how to set up general colour space conversions in software. Ask your prepress provider, and if the answer is not prompt and proficient, pick another provider.

How can I convert RGB Color to Black-White Color?

Dear everyone!
I am using Photoshop CS5. I have got a file from my customer which is done as RGB and the resolution is 300dpi. There are black texts and color images in the file. I wish to print Black-White Process Film (1 black color), but I don't know how to solve it. I started converting my file to Grayscale and then the black texts are not black enough because it becomes lighter. When I go to Level and adjust the color, both the image and texts becomes darker. What must I do to make only texts blacker without effecting the image?
Please find the attached file for the reference.
For more information, please let me know.
My Best Regards,
LUCK

What file format was supplied to you? Was it truly RGB @ 300ppi or did you rasterize a PDF?
300ppi is lousy for text. You might converse with your customer to instruct them on the ideal way to supply a file to you.

How to disable the option of "Overprint [Black] Swatch at 100%" in Indesign by Apple Scripting

Hi Friends,
I am new to Indesign Scripting by Apple Script. As a beginner, I am trying to do some basic scripting in Indesign by Apple Script.
My aim is to disable the option of "Overprint [Black] Swatch at 100%" in Indesign. This option is available when we go to Indesign ---> Preferences----> Appearance of Black.
Also, if a user opens a file, in which the swatch is already enabled, then it should prompt him for disabling.
I can make a display dialog in AppleScript. But, I am bit unsure as how can I go ahead and disable this option. I tried this below script:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
      tell every layout window to set overprint preview to false
end tell
However, it is changing the view option to overprint preview.
Appreciate your help and suggestions!
Thanks,
Abhishek

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
          tell the active document
                    set overprint black of document preferences to false
          end tell
end tell

I have a quicktime movie on a hard drive, and I have the hard drive plugged into my macbook, and the quicktime movie is not opening, its just a black screen. How do I convert it to the right file so I can watch it ?

I have quicktime movie files on a hard drive, and normally when I plug the hard drive into my computer, I can open the quicktime files and watch them. Now when I am doing it, the quicktime movies are opening up with a black screen. How do i convert it to be in the right format to be able to watch ?

I plugged my old drive into an identical Vostro and saved my bookmarks per the instructions. Later, when I check the file, it was in html format. While waiting for the replacement laptop to arrive, I put my old (Vostro) hard drive into a case so I could access the files. I have been able to launch web pages from the file bt accessing them through My Documents so I know the file is good. The problem is, I apparently need to convert them into a JSON file in order to use them. There is a set of instructions on the Mozilla/Firefox website but that method does not work.

How do I convert a word file larger than 100 mb to pdf?

I use the adobe online pdf service to convert word files. I have a file that is 101mb and the converter won't upload and convert the file. How do I convert this word file to pdf now?

Hi adrentcdc,
There is a 100 MB file-size limit for uploading to the Adobe PDF Pack online service. Since no such limitation exists for Acrobat, you could use that to convert the file to PDF. You're welcome to download a free 30-day trial, and give it a spin. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Best,

How do I convert [100's of] Pages '08 [3.0.3] documents to Pages 5.0.5 in my new computer running Mavericks?

There is no Pages 5.05 and you will regret converting your old files to the new format.
Pages 5.2.2 can not open Pages '08 files, you will need to Export the Pages '08 files to Word .doc/x.

How do I convert a color jpg to a pure black and white jpg with no grey/shading?

how do I convert a color jpg to a pure black and white jpg with no grey/shading using Automator?

Hi mns579,
Thanks for your swift reply.
I'm afraid that sequence leads to a burn-out of some of the black text, making it unreadable.
To clarify, what I did was photograph pages from a book. The interior lighting of the room where I photographed these pages leads to a jpg image with slight graying or shading of parts of the page. So when I simply convert it to B/W, I get a washing out of some areas of the page where there is text, and this makes it unreadable.
I know that some software programs have a feature that allows a color jpg to be converted to b/w such that the text is made pure black and any surrounding areas of the text are made pure white (ie, all color is removed from the non-black areas), which makes for an easily readable b/w text page. Am I able to do this with my Mac, and if so, how using the Automator feature?
(I have more than 50 jpgs that I would like to clean up in this manner, hence the ability to do so through Automator is important.)
Thanks for your attention to this.

Converting 4-Color Blacks to 100% Black

Is there a way to convert 4-Color Blacks(Rich Blacks) to 100% Black? For example today I got a file that was CMYK 4 Color however the blacks in the PDF file were not 100% Black is there a way to convert the 4 Color Blacks to 100% black in Acrobat? I don't want the whole PDF to be Greyscale. I still want the color but I want to specifically target the 4 color blacks and turn them to 100% black. Can this be done? I am using Acrobat 8.

It's possible but not easy.
You first need to identify exactly what the "rich black" in the document is - 4-plate CMYK, RGB, etc. then create a Preflight Check that finds only that color combination, with a second item in the check to filter only by text objects.
You can then use it as the trigger item for a Convert Colors preflight fixup, applying something like a dot gain 30, which will blow the rich black out to 100K.
