How to get dark elements in background to be visible on PDFs viewed on mobile devices?

I would appreciate any information about how to export to PDF an InDesign document, which has multiple dark jpeg layers used to create a background, so that those elements appear in mobile device PDF viewing, just as they are seen on a computer monitor's version of the PDF viewing experience. 
On mobile devices - iPhone and iPad - the background of the PDF appears simply as black. All the other texts and color photos in the foreground areas of the InDesign document appear perfectly on the mobile devices on the PDF.  Yet, the darker background elements render as solid black on the mobile devices.  Perhaps, this is always the case so that the PDF can be rendered viewable on mobile devices more quickly. I don't know.  The same PDF is viewed perfectly on computer monitors. This is only an issue with the mobile device viewing of the PDF.
I've tried everything I know to do to choose different and particular settings in the "Adobe PDF preset" type area from within InDesign in order to create viewable background elements via a PDF viewed on mobile devices. 
Any information as to particular settings for the InDesign document to Adobe PDF which would allow ALL elements to be seen on ALL electronic devices would be especially helpful. 

Steve,  thank you for your post as well.  Please see my first reply, which was in reply to Bob Levine's question.  I can't provide a link to the document because it's part of a collaborative work that I'm contracted for - so I can't violate that with a public sharing of the PDF.  Otherwise, I would share a link.  But your comment about the different app Readers you used, gave me the idea to try all of them that I have.  Because the doc was in a Dropbox shared folder, I could access it via my Dropbox app on my iPhone/iPad.  So, I decided to go through multiple options with what they allow you to open a PDF in, to read it.  I had only tried a few.  Then after your comment I decided to try whatever else they had and tried the Adobe PDF reader one - and it opened with all the visual elements there.  I'll have to tell the folks, that I'm doing the work for, to open it in the ADOBE PDF Reader app now.

  • How to get page one to animate only once in interactive pdf?

    how to get page one to animate only once in interactive pdf? I like when the document opens up in acrobat and the the page animations work but when I go to one of the pages and hit my designated home button it goes back to page one but it reloads again. As a user it would drive me crazy to have to wait for all of it to load......anyway to have that page one load once as the opening page?

    I don't think you really mean animations (unless you have a placed SWF file) because things created with the Animation panel don't work in PDF. Nonetheless, you're talking about some kind of interactivity which is set to happen On Page Load.
    So when you return to that page, of course the interactivity loads again.
    There isn't a On Page Load Once command.
    Perhaps you need to rethink why the interactivity is there. If it's important, maybe it should be triggered by a rollover or by clicking a button.

    Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message:  "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started".  What is the issue, had this phone over a year??

    I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
    You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
    If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck!

  • How to get the xmal of background of DataGridHeaderBorder

    Hi all,
    I believe that the style of background of DataGridHeaderBorder is like <LinearGradientBrush.....
    I want to modify the style of background of DataGridHeaderBorder. But I cannot get the whole xmal by default of it.
    so, how to get it? Are there any extend tools?
    Thanks!

    There is no template for a DataGridHeaderBorder. Since the DataGridHeaderBorder is not a control (it inhertits from Border and not Control) it doesn't have any control template so you cannot restyle it.
    If you want to change appearance of the DataGridRowHeader, you should replace the DataGridHeaderBorder element with another element like for example a Border. Right-click in the DataGrid in design mode in VS 2012 or later and choose "Edit Additional
    Templates"->"Edit RowHeaderTemplate" and then remove and replace the DataGridHeaderBorder element in the generated XAML.

  • Anyone know how to get the wood panel background in Pages 09'??

    I was messing around with it when I started using Pages and I haven't been able to switch back! The wood pattern was so much more visually appealing. Someone please help!

    Full Screen is on the top right of any document in OSX 10.7.
    I have no idea how you could have got a wood panel background behind a full screen document, nor how you would have changed the background, which is always dark grey to my knowledge.
    If you want to learn more about Pages there are introductory Apple Videos under the Help menu.
    The downloadable Pages09_UserGuide.pdf is in the same place.
    And try this site:

    But start by having a good look through the menus and the Inspectors which are well organised compared with most software.

  • How to get a layer's background color with AE SDK

    Hello,
    I am trying to get the color of the background for my current layer but I can't seem to find how to do it.
    By background color, I don't mean the application's background color, but the color that shows through if I set the alpha of my pixels to 0.
    For example, suppose the composition background is black, I put a green solid on top of it, then put an image on top of the solid and apply my pug-in to the image.
    If I set the alpha to zero in my plug-in, the solid's green will show up.
    So I want to be able to find out that my background is green.
    I already tried using PF_AppGetBgColor() but that returns the application's background color, which is not green in this example.
    If you want more details about what I want to do, I have plug-in P1 which sets some pixels to 0-alpha. On top of it I apply another plug-in P2 which reveals 0-alpha pixels by blending them with some color.
    What happens now is that the output is the original image's color blended with P2's color (because P1 only modified the pixels' alpha).
    What I want is to have the color showing through the transparent pixels of P1 blended with P2's color.
    To do that, I would like to be able to set the color of the 0-alpha pixels to the background's color in P1.
    Sorry for the long question.
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    hello nicolas.
    if i understood you correctly, what you're trying to get it the image buffer of the composited layers, beneath the layer with your effect.
    if that is correct, then i'm afraid it's next to impossible to do.
    when AE renders a composition it doesn't do it bottom to top. it tries to do the opposite actually.
    why? because if at a certain point the buffer is fully opaque, then it doesn't need to render what's beneath.
    further more, checked out layers change the order rendering, and many other things affect the rendering order of the layers.
    besides that, there's no API for accessing intermediate comp buffers. just the final result.
    the closest you can get to that without turning the world over, is to use AEGP_GetCompBGColor(),
    which would prove useless to you as the image doesn't get composited over that color, unless that's the comp being saved to file.
    so why did i say "next to impossible"?
    you can turn the world around.
    you can write an AEGP of type "artisan". (look at the "arti" sample)
    these plug-ins render comps (instead of the "advanced3D" renderer)
    an artisan does have intermediate comp results, as it is the one doing the rendering.
    so now you can have your artisan save the buffer you need, and deliver it to your effect.
    i must warn you that doing this is very very very difficult.
    another possible solution is to create a duplicate of the comp in which your effect resides,
    erase all layers who's image you don't need, and render that duplicated comp using AEGP_GetReceiptWorld().
    if you use this method, you have to supervise the original comp, and apply changes to the duplicate.
    yes, that too is difficult to do.
    you could make a change in strategy, and apply your effect on an adjustment layer instead.
    the input for the adjustment layer is the composited buffer of underlying layers.
    then you could get the original sources you wish to process using checked out layer params.
    the last solution i can think of is using the sampleImage() expression on a hidden param.
    this will give you pixel data from any layer in the comp, but not the composite of the underlying layers.
    maybe if you tried sampling an adjustment layers post effects... i don't know. you'll have to try.
    this method is very slow, and is also limited to time out, so you can't get a large number of pixels.
    the expression will simply fail.
    i hope it hasn't been all bad news for you.
    maybe of you told more about the plug-in you're developing i could come up with a better plan.

  • [AS][CS4] How to get XML element of grep find result?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to get the xml element of a grep find result?
    I have multiple text frames, each containing multiple paragraphs. Each paragraph can contain one or more different xml tagged pieces of text.
    Using a simple search function I can locate the text I need, but how do I retreive the xml element applied to that piece of text.
    Using the "associated XML element" property, it doesn't work.
    set find what of find grep preferences to "€( )*(\\d)*"
    tell active document
              set myResult to find grep
              set myItem to item 1 of myResult
              set myElement to associated XML element of myItem
              -- The last line throws an error
    end tell
    The find result will return a collection of text objects.
    Thanks

  • How to get rid of a background in an image?

    Does anyone know of an easy way to get rid of the background in the attached image and just keep the red print?
    Any ideas appreciated.
    If someone knows of an easy way, I have a much larger version of the image in PNG format.

    Another way to proceede is to convert it to B/W and adjust the conversion for taste. Then clean it up using curves or levels and clip it to a red fill layer. Here is a quick proof of concept. Doing it in sections would produce better  results.  The rectangles are new additions.
    I suspect this trade mark is still in force and owned by Honeywell and should not be used for commercial purposes.

  • How to get the elements out of a for loop simultaneously during the loop execution

    Hi, 
    I am student. I would like to know how to get the counter values outside the For loop parallely while the loop runs rather that getting the finally value outside the For loop. Looking forward for answers.
    Thanks,
    Athira
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You could use a notifier (since it is a single value) or a reference (with a property node) to a control that gets the value elsewhere in another VI.
    If it is within the same VI, you could use a property node (right click > create > property node > value) from the control within the same VI located outside the loop.
    If you promiss NOT to abuse the use of Local Variables, you could use that to only write from ONE location within the For Loop to a control outside the loop, similar to the property node mentionned earlier.  (Of course, I will be struct by lightening for mentionning that and scolded by other LabVIEW coders for having a change of heart on the use of Locals....  Shivers are already crawling up my spine).
    You could use a queue, but that might be an overkill, unless:  the count is generated faster than it is being read elsewhere...
    As crossrulz mentionned, can you describe what you will be doing with the count?  Because synchronizing data (fresh / stale / etc) is very important within LabVIEW as it executes based on dataflow rather than a sequential order.
    Hope this helps. 
    EDIT: 
    You have not fully provided the answer.  We figured that much of your code from your description, but what is reading the value of the count?  Is it in a separate loop?  If not, it may only deal with the first value, which is likely 0.  The proper advice depends on how you process the received data (count).
