How to export pdf with transparent background (or NO white background)?

or, how do i get rid of the white background?
I want to add a watermark behind the pages document AFTER pdf-creation (to be more exact: a light picture behind the text in the center of the page)

Thanks everyone
the trick is the following: it's a daily rewritten menu card, that's published in 2 directions:
1. we print it on preprinted cardbords (therefore we need no background in the pages document) (30 times every day)
2. we load it on the webserver, to make it available on the website and to send it out via newsletter. (technically i have a automator printplugin created which does the job of inserting the same backgroundimage as on the preprinted cards and then uploading it to the server)
Well, I guess it does not look to shabby
any ideas?

How to export images with transparent background in illustrator

H i
I am trying to export a png, jpeg button design with curved designs. But the white background keeps appearing when exported.
How do I remove the white background and just have the button image.
Thank you.

Are you exporting as a PNG or exporting as a JPG?
JPG doesn't support transparency so you'll have to export as a PNG and check the Transparency box.

How to export PDF with Bookmarks from Headings?

How does one deal with transparency in a placed file in InDesign?

I suppose this may seem elementary, but I'm relatively new to it so here goes:
First off, my print shop says that placed images should be in EPS format. I'm creating my files in Illustrator and some of them use a gradient mask to fade an object away. When saved as an EPS, the gradient mask shows as a white box instead of fading into the background. When I copy/paste my Illustrator image into a new Photoshop file, save it as a PSD, bring that PSD into Illustrator and save it as an EPS, the whole file is in a white box.
Example. I want those aisle markers to not be in white boxes.

If possible, one finds a new printer who can handle your files properly and doesn't insist on .eps.
What format are you delivering to the Printer? If it's anything other than PDF (and that's at their request) all the more reason to reread the first sentence. Why on earth are you moving things from Illustrator to Photoshop and back to Illustrator? Either one of those will save as .eps (ugh), though you need to use a clipping path for transparent areas coming out of photoshop (don't really know how Illy handles it when you say to save .eps with transparent background), but you are FAR better off with either native .AI or .PSD, both of which support transparencey, unlike .eps.If yo are delivering PDF, as you should be, it makes no difference to the printer what format the placed content uses (and it shouldn't matter to him even with native files unless he's hopelessly stuck in the 90s).
In any event, when importing from Illustrator, make sure to show the import options and check the transparent background box.

Error "Failed to Export PDF" with big image on CS6 (32) and CC (64)

Hi everyone,
I'm on indesign CS6 (v8.0.2) and when I try to export pdf with a very big image ( *.tiff, 25000*35000 pixels, ) , the action failed with this message :" Failed to export a PDF".
To be sure that there is no any corrupted elements, I made a very simple layout (one page , and just one element for my image,I turnoff prefilgth and all ressource intensive options, and export with no downsampling or resampling) and try to export with different size image:with 20000*30000 -or smaller -image the export works, always failed with image .The export failed to in scripting mode.
If I diveded my image in four , the export works but this solution is not convenient (I actually made tests for a fully automatised process, and we want to be sure that the indesign component is enough "safe")
I try the same action with an evaluation version of indesign CC 64 bits (v9.2) and have the same behavior.
I can imagine that there is a memory issue there, but my config seems to be strong ( windows server 64 with 16GB ram, DD with more than 100GB free). I don't undersant why-in a "full" 64 bit environnement- it is not possible to manipulate and export very large image ?
I'm wonder If the background task is a part of the problem, and if it 's possible to disable it in CS6 or CC as in cs5 ( creates an “DisableAsyncExports.txt” file in Adobe InDesign executable directoty don't seems to disable it in CC or CS6).
Thank you for your help and good ideas..
DC.

this is a .tif (not a "big"tiff) compressed in LZW or ZIP.
I just tried with another format (png), the error is the same...

How can I select and delete the fill color (white background) of a live trace (B&W) with in an actio

How can I select and delete the fill color (white background) of a live trace (B&W) with in an action set?
Illustrator CS4 in windows XP.

Maybe Li[ve trace] is not t]he way[ to go
I have some suggestion one leave it as is and use a blending mode of multiply to give it a color background like this
leave it as is make it a grayscale tiff import int Illustrator and color it it in Illustrator like this
Or trace over it with the brush tool aand then give it a color ground.
Or do the original over and do a cleaner job with no tone or a minimum of tone. Then Live trace.

How can I record with GarageBand 1.3 in the background using other app?

How can I record with GarageBand 1.3 in the background using other app?
I use iPad 2 with iOS 6 and GarageBand v1.3.
I'd like to play an other app like Sunrizer synth while the GarageBand is recording in the background in a track.
By now I can do it only using the build-in mic of iPad, but this is not the point.
Can I record other apps in a GarageBand track?
Thanks a lot for your time.

I suspect you are probably correct about the reasoning, although there are already a myriad of ways to do that.
Don't get me wrong - I never said I like this. But it is consistent with other Apple applications, that are similar restrictive; you cannot take a screenshot, when dvd-player is running for example.
That are the moments, when I am glad that MacOS X is a unix system under the hood

How to export RTF with paragraph style names?

It's not something that's natively done with Indesign.
However it's possible that it might be able to be scripted.

Pdf with transparent background

I put a logo inside a PDF. The PDF has a transparent background. When I import the PDF into FCPX, the PDF's background is opaque white. When I import the same PDF into Motion 5, the PDF's background is transparent. I want transparent backgrounds in FCP. How do I do it? Does FCPX support transparent PDF files?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply Luis. True, png is an option. I prefer a vector based PDF file in this paticular case, because I want the ability to increase the PDF's scale in FCP and maintain fine detail. Unfortunately, raster based PNG files don't have the same flexibility.
True.
But since with pdf you don't get the support for transparency,
there is as middle-of-the-road solution.
You can rasterize and choose a big-enough resolution for your purposes.
In Preview, if you save as png, you can choose a resolution of, say, 300 dpi, or 3000 dpi.
Of course, the larger the resolution the larger a file you get. This is not as elegant a solution as a vector graphics, but it works and lets work with transparency. Call it a workaround if you will.
I suggest you keep the original pdf and try with a few different resolutions in png to find the sweet spot between file size and zoomability. Keep in mind that very large files may also diminish performance somewhat.

Creating a PDF with transparency without exporting to PDF (Mac)

Hi
I need to created a PDF from InDesign that has unflattened (native) transparency without using the export PDF command ( because of the flaw seen here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/537751?tstart=0 )
I have tried exporting as an EPS and that flattens transparency and creating PS does as well.
Any other ideas, settings or applications/utilities to try?
Thanks
-Andrew

Thanks everyone that was what I thought.
Peter: If we knew when it was happening then we can fix it, unfortunately there is no indicator when it will happen. We get jobs from all over North America from all kinds of designers so it could happen on any job.
It is hard to say how many job it happens on as in most cases it wouldn't be noticed by the client as the amount is so small, and in some case it would happen in the bleed that gets trimmed.
So far we have noticed the issue when it happens in a critical situation and haven't had any spoils but it is just a matter of time.
We are going into Annual Reports soon as well as proffesional sport tickets both of which are critical clients.

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.

How to insert image with transparent background?

I have several logos saved at .GIFs with transparent backgrounds that I would like to import into my dashboard, but it seems that the image component only supports JPEG. Is there a way to import images while maintaining their transparency?

Well, you CAN insert GIFs or other image formats. But I have yet to figure out a way to take a GIF with a transparent background and import it into my Xcelsius while preserving the transparency. The transparent background always just defaults to white.
This is a crucial feature as I have some logos I want to use that are circular. But if I can't give them a transparent background, it drastically limits their placement options.
I know that flash does support transparency, so am I missing something here?

Export movie with transparent background, Adobe Premiere Elements 9

Help!
I'm now using Adobe Premiere Elements 9. I'm trying to create a few regularly used lower-third animated graphics. There will be 4... each with the same animated background, but with different names in text.
I was able to do this just fine in earlier versions of Premiere Elements... using Quicktime Export, and changing color settings to "Millions + of colors"... or something similar...
Is there a way to do this in this version? Help!

You can not export video with an alpha channel from Premiere Elements. Sorry.
