Image border colors change when DOC convered to PDF

First off...I have Word 2007 and Acrobat 7 Standard on Windows XP. I tried a trial version of Acrobat 8 for converting PDFs, but it did not resolve all my issues to I'm remote connecting to another computer in the office to create my PDFs. I have to save my docs as 2003 .doc because 7 won't read an 07 .docx file
My issue is that when I take a .DOC file and convert it to a .PDF my borders on my pictures are going from black to black and yellow. It's like there is a yellow border with a black border on top or like a black border highlighted with yellow or something. It hasn't done this before and I've been doing things this way for a few months now. I can't seem to figure out what could have been changed as I have not changed any settings. I did do so Microsoft updates a week or two ago, but this is the first time anything has been affected. Any ideas?
I so wish the boss would get Acrobat 8 Pro. so maybe my problems would be resolved overall.

I have the same problem. I have created some tables from scratch in Word. They have default black borders, and some of the cells are shaded. Once the document is pdf-ed, some of the borders disappear, and also the vertical lines of some appear thinner nearer the top.
You're right that when you zoom a LOT (to 400% or larger), the borders ARE actually there, although the thin bits at the tops of the verticals are still thinner. However, my readers will be viewing at 100%.
The problem only seems to occur for cells which have a shaded background. However, I have shaded some cells to make my documents easier to read and they look lovely, so I really don't want to lose this nice design.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Font color changes when I export to pdf

I'm using Pages 08 still, and I'm creating newsletters, should be simple enough. But when I export to pdf, there are portions of the text that change color. For example, I have white text and a brown background, and for some reason the text changes to black. The Pages document still shows it as white, it only happens with the exported pdf document. I triend deleting the brown background layer, re-exported, but the font color still changes. Thoughts?

You have not said what version of Pages '08 you are using nor what version of OSX.
For problems like these usually simply updating both Pages '08 and the version of OSX to the latest versions, fixes the problem. That does not mean upgrading to Pages '09 or OSX 10.8.2, just the latest of those you have installed.
Failing that you need to look at what color model your text is. Stick to the cmyk that OSX's pdfs use and avoid rgb which is screen color.

How do I change an image border color to another color - Dreamweaver CS5?

Good day,
I have just learned how to add a border to an image with Dreamweaver CS5 within the Properties Inspector.
After typing the width in pixels in the Border Text Field and pressing the Enter key, Dreamweaver created a black border.
How do I change the image border color to another color?

I added your suggested rule to the Style Sheet "in any order" as you explained. See the image below.
However this did not change the image border from black to light blue. In fact, nothing changed.
Nothing changed because the CSS that has been written into DW is incorrectly written.
You want the following (exactly as written below)
img {border: 4px solid #0062C8;}
You've inadvertently wrapped the rule inside a #main_image container rendering it meaningless.
It's easiest to go into Code View and change
#main_image {
img {border: 4px solid #0062C8;
to
img { border: 4px solid #0062C8; }
The Property Inspector added a border exactly as I wanted it, other than the color I wanted the border to be. What is the use of this function in Property Inspector if it can add a border within Property Inspector but not let me change the COLOR of the black border that Property Inspector added, to another color?
That's a deceptively simple, yet valid, question with a long answer.
Back in the dark old days of web design web designers were restricted to inline HTML formatting which offered border properties but no colors.
CSS styling offers colors and more but has to be written differently.
These days. it's best to avoid HTML formatting. Unfortunately border="4px" in the PI still allows it. But does not permit color.
Does anyone else out there ever add color borders to their IMAGES (not the containing box for the image) ?
Yes, using CSS.

Color change when opening in Reader

Hi, I created a PDF in Photoshop. I then added an editable field in Acrobat, using the same RGBs. When I open the file in Reader, the color of the editable field does not match. Any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this? I have the most recent version of Acrobat and Reader.
Thanks,
Jackie

Here is a screen shot of the reader PDF, followed by the original file in Acrobat. You can see that the entire document color changed when I opened it in Reader.
THanks,
Jackie

Colors change when saving to PDF from InDesign

I admittedly don't understand color handling, no matter how much I seem to read about it. Lately my files that I've been exporting to PDF from Indesign have looked slightly different and odd to me once they're converted to PDF. Sometimes the colors are dull, sometimes the drop shadows are a weird grey... Here's the latest example. Perhaps someone has some wisdom for me here...
I created this poster in Illustrator. Here's how it looks in Illustrator:
Then I went into Indesign and linked the file. (this is strange...) When I display the file with "typical display", it displays as such:
That looks pretty good... But when I set the display to "high quality display", I get this:
This is also the result I get when I open the exported file in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Why the color change?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks, Will...
So, upon investigating, I realized that my color space in Illustrator was RGB... Damn... I must have overlooked that... When I convert (in Illustrator) to CMYK, I get those strange colors again.
When I export to PDF, the Output is "no color conversion", so it's not being converted to CMYK yet...
Plus, I just linked the AI files in Indesign when I placed them in there.
So, Indesign must be converting the file to CMYK? And that's why the colors change once I convert to PDF? What do you think?
Also, I used InDesign to place the files so that I could create a 2-page pdf easily that the printer could work with. I had a 4-up handbills page in there that I was planning on printing as well.
So, if this looks best in RGB, what do you think about me sending an RGB file to the printer and then printing it that way? I've been told that RGB is no good for printing, but I've also read otherwise as well...
Thanks again!!

Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells

"Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells meet the rule’s condition." That's what Help says, but when I follow the directions, it doesn't work. This is in Numbers 08.
I have a table where the contents of one column are either "YES" or "NO", depending on formulas using variables from other cells. If YES, I want the fill of that cell and that of two adjacent cells to change from white to green. I select all three cells and use conditional format rules for "text contains:" YES, then choose my fill color. When I return to the table and introduce values for the variables that trigger the rule, only the cell in the YES/NO column changes to green; the other two remain white.
While I am spreadsheet challenged, I usually can follow directions as plain as those in Help, but it's not working. I couldn't find anything in the discussions after an hour of searching. Is this a known problem or am I just stupid?

For what it's worth, that's the way I read that line in the User Guide as well. What it actually appears to mean, though is 'Rules applied to multiple cells apply independently to each of the cells."
Here's a workaround for your three adjacent columns. Long, but fairly simple steps.
Add a second table to the sheet (Table 2).
Resize the second table to one column wide and as many rows as you want to apply the conditional format to.
Set the width of the column to the same width as the three columns you want to highlight, and the row height(s) to match the rows.
Format to table to have NO Header or Footer row or column.
Use the Wrap Inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
In the first top cell of Table 2, enter an = sign, then Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, Click on the first cell that will hold YES or NO.
Fill the formula down the rest of Table 2.
With all cells in Table 2 selected, use the Cell Format inspector to set the 'text contains yes' rule and the conditional fill colour for these cells.
Test the conditional formating by introducing values into Table 1.
Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, then use the Table inspector to set Cell Fill to 'none'.
Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then drag that table onto table 1 aligning it to cover the cells in which the conditional formating is to appear.
When positioned (and still selected), go to the Arrange menu and Send Backward to move Table 2 behind the (transparent) cells in Table 1.
With Table 2 still selected, click on the Cell Borders color well and set the Opacity of the borders to 0%.
Click the Text inspector and set the Text colour Opacity for Table 2 to 0%.
Regards,
Barry

Why do the colors change when I reopen a document?

Are you opening the same Pages document or do you open another document like Word? I has recently been a similar discussion in this forum.

Border color changes

I am building a page as a complete web design newbie, but am
having good results (I think). Anyway, I have boxes, with borders,
for navigational links on my webpage (Home, links, About us, etc.).
The problem is that the borders change color dependin on what
browser I am viewing in. I am using color #999999 (dark gray) for
the border, with a thin, grooved edge. In IE6, the color is as
planned, but in every other browser it seems to come out as light
gray. The border appears as the darker color in DW8. Here's the
link so you check the code:

PLEASE NOTE - this is a temp site with a working copy of the
website, so I can check as I go. I am simply interested in the
border color changing in the different browsers and how to fix it.
Thanks ahead of time for the help
Justin L

You have way too many styles there for your .TopLinks you can
just use
shorthand method:
remove all the border attributes and use:
border: 1px solid #999999;
Groove and thin are not going to be cross browser compatible,
probably why
you are seeing a difference between browsers.

We have version 10.5.8 photoshop CS3 for Mac. How do we fix a problem with photoshop not resizing dpi? For example we resized a 72 dpi image to 200 dpi, when we do a pdf analysis it read as 344 dpi.

We have version 10.5.8 photoshop CS3 for Mac. How do we fix a problem with photoshop not resizing dpi? For example we resized a 72 dpi image to 200 dpi, when we do a pdf analysis it read as 344 dpi.

Sounds like it's a problem with the Acrobat settings. Did you set them to the same resolution?

Why does my font color change when I add an image to InDesign?

Hello, I am doing a page layout in InDesign and I am using a light blue font for my title but when I add an image from Photoshop, the font color turns dark blue. When I open the InDesign file in Adobe Acrobat, my title is still dark blue. It's only when I make a PDF of the file in Acrobat and open it in the Safari browser that the title goes back to its original light blue font. Is there something I can do to fix this? Thank you!

Not a good idea. The flattened PSD has lost all its layers, adjustments, and effects. I hope you don’t need to edit it or change any layer’s visibility. Either that or you now have two files to keep track of and have neutered InDesign’s Edit Original feature. Better to take Peter’s advice and place the text above the image so it is not affected by transparency flattening. If you need the text below because you want the drop shadow to interact with the text, then use Overprint Preview (View menu) or Separations Preview (Window > Output) to get a more accurate view of the text colour.

Color change when transferring image from Photoshop to After Effects

Hi everyone,
I am trying to import a logo from photoshop CS6 to After Effects CS6, however the black color within the image changes to a dark grey when it gets into AE. I noticed on the color picker in PS that it changes to the same grey color that is used as the replacement web safe color. Therefore I'm assuming AE is just converting everything into web safe colors.
Is there something I need to change in AE to allow me to import the image and keep all the original non web safe photoshop colors?
Sorry if this is a very basic question thats been answered before, I couldn't seem to find the answer within these forums.
Many thanks in advance,
Spencer

This has nothing to do with web safe. You are making a mess of color management/ color profiles. You have soemthing enabled in PS and since AE by default doesn't use any color managemnt and just assumes plain sRGB, the colors change. There's no easy explanations here, but you have soem reading up to do about color management in general and also specifically how Photoshop corrects for monitor profiles and how to use the Proof Preview to compensate for that or how to establish a workflwo that mimicsa AE's "unmanaged" colorspace.

Why does my Background image color changes when I place an image ?

Hi everyone,
I'd like to make a presentation in InDesign. I put a background image into a different layer which I called "Background" and then I create a new layer which I called "Images" and place an image with a transparency layer. When I place this image onto the Images layer color of the image in the Background layer changes. I can not figure out why It changes its color. I'd be grateful to anyone who can help me resolve this problem ?
Regards
Cem

Edit > Transparency Blend Space... and set it to match the color mode of the background image.

Why are my colors changing when copy and paste a graphic from docA to docB both in illustrator?

Both documents in Illustrator CC are RGB and I'm trying to copy a logo onto a template, but the color of the logo completely changes when I copy and paste it into the template. The logo has three different pinks and they turn red when pasted. There is no graphic styling and the logo is all gradient.

What is weird is that we get a lot of logos from the same company and we put it on shirt templates so they can see size wise on how it would look on shirts. It's happened with other logos, but very slightly. I asked my co-worker who sends me the logos what version she uses and she also uses CC but does not know what version the other company uses. To them, it doesn't matter if the logo colors get altered, they have the PMS colors to work off of for screen printing. I just want to make sure that if another company sends us logos with PMS colors, we will know how to fix it.

Color Changed when reading a Tiff Image

I have created a ImageIcon of a tiff image by using the following code. but when reading some images the color is Mis-Matching
BufferedImage bufImage = ImageIO.read( <tiff file path> );
JLabel jLabel= new JLabel(new ImageIcon(bufImage));whats the reason for this?.. anybody send me the code snippet to read the tiff image in its original color.. please..

Thanks for the reply.
When I render a tiff format image, I have a choice to either render with a alpha or not. I pick with alpha.
In CS2 Photoshop when I would open that tiff file, my image would come up and I would be able to see the whole image I rendered. The alpha would be in the channel tab where I would make active and apply to my image if I wanted to.
Now in CS5 when I open that same tiff file my image opens up with the alpha applied already. What I mean by applied is my background is gone or transparent. I have no other layer to turn on. Just my image with no background. Also in the channel tab I have no alpha I would have to create one from the original image.
I hope this explains my issue better, if not let me know I'll have to do some screen shot for you.

Fireworks CS3-Color changes when importing Photoshop images

Hello,
I created a background image in Photoshop CS3 but whenever I import it into Fireworks CS3 the color changed. It seems that the saturation level is changing. The hue is close however. I tried using the color palette to type in the exact RGB & Hexadecimal number but it is still not working.
Please help. Thank you
