Image in PDF output not good

I am embedding an image in the Indesign document and outputting it as a PDF file. The image in the PDF file is not really clear. It appears pixellated. It is a JPG image and I tried both lossy and lossless compression. But the same image (it is a black and white sketch) embedded in MS Word comes out very well. Can I know the reason?

The blurryness and pixellation is due to the preview setting on the placed object. Faster processing if you handle multiple HQ images/objects.
To change the preview setting. Select an object, right klick (for i386) and goto "Display performance". Select "High Quality Display". You will see the preview quality of the object change. Sometimes, if the object is not linked, the blurryness will also come out when the ID-doc is exported to PDF or printed... even though the settings is "High Quality Display".

Transparent shadow crossing over the image in pdf output

Hi Folks,
In recent days, we are frequently facing problem in using of tiff format image in InDesign. In pdf output, there is some transparent shadow crossing over the image. The problem occurs in ps to pdf as well as export pdf settings. The issue was not happened for the past 5 years.
If it is a reproducible error, we could find the root cause of the problem. But the same issue does not occur if we create the pdf again. Please see below the differences in viewing of actual image & problematic image and suggest how to resolve this and why it happens.
Issue 1:
Actual view of image shown in left side; Corrupted view of image shown in right side
Issue 2:
Issue 3:
Now I have suggested my team to convert all tiff images to psd image format. I really don't know whether it helps. All I need is to know the root cause of the issue. Anybody please suggest would be really helpful.

@Tyson:
In Issue 2, horizontal green color shading is crossing above the play/pause icon in right hand side of the image.
In Issue 3, I have displayed the screenshot of the image placed in InDesign to show the original view of the image. But the problem shows in right hand side that is pdf output view. You can see the horizontal green color shading in 1st image and light grey color shading (at the top of "NO" text) in 2nd image.
Actual & Effective PPi of top of the image --> 597
Actual & Eff. PPI of bottom of the image --> 477
PS to pdf creation:
Crops & bleeds ON, Composite CMYK color output, Image data: All, Postscript: Level3, Data format: Binary, Printer profile: Document CYMK-US. web coated
If you need more details, I'm ready to give you. Please let me know.

Barcode in PDF output not coming in Oracle R12.1.3

Hi,
We have a rtf template for Invoice report. In this report we have to display barcode in PDF output. In our development instance barcode is coming properly. But in our test instance barcode is not coming(same template is available in Development and Test instance).
We are using wocrb.ttf and w128l.ttf font files and we have these files available at $OA_JRE_TOP/lib/fonts path.
Also, we have config file available on $OA_JRE_TOP/lib directory. and this config file has correct path of both the font files.
Still the barcode is not coming in Test instance.
Request you all to please help me with this issue.
Thanks,
SA

PDF requires the font be registered correctly, since it is not appearing you have missed something in your configuration.
The most common error is the font family name does not exactly match the font name in Word. (Open the font on your PC and the name is present there also.)
You can use the xdodebug.cfg troubleshooting method, then see what error appears in the xdo.log when the font is accessed.
See the following note for xdo.log:

Problems with image on PDF output.

In my report, I inserted an image (.jpg format) in the margin section. The background of the image is white. In Oracle Reports Builder, the image was just fine. However, when generating the PDF output, it seems like the image in PDF was mixed with another color, or the background color has been changed. Why?
Due to confidential information, I cannot provide the screenshot here.

Appears to be a case of exceeding the original 100% w/h of the images.
Generally the images should be 'prepped' in size (to match the quality when zoomed). So the starting size of the images/icons on the stage should be scaled smaller - then the zoom will factor to the original size. I hope that made some sense.

PDF output not including links

I've searched these forums and read posts that the problem with links not working in PDF output should have been fixed in version 6. I'm using RoboHelp HTML 8 (with all suggested patches), but when I create a PDF output it has no links in body text or in the Related Topics list at the end of each topic. I went into the PDF settings dialog box and checked for the PDF to include links, but it's not working.
I'm developing in Windows XP creating WebHelpPro.
What must I do to get links to work in a PDF (other than on the Bookmarks tab)?
Thank you.
Sylvia

Hi Sylvia
Out of curiosity, what do the links point to?
My thought is perhaps it is a type of link that isn't really capable of being transferred to PDF.
Cheers... Rick

PDF Output Not Displaying Turkish Characters

Hi,
We've configured BI 7.0 System with an Standalone Portal+BI Java System running both on SP11 Stack without problem.
For BI Web Reports, we're taking PDF Outputs and getting Turkish Character Problems. On the screen we can see everything correct, even Excel Export displays Turkish Characters without problem but PDF Export is wrong. I've checked the "<b>Note 1007116 - Form output in incorrect language</b>" but not sure whcih form to check? And also if this is the problem?
If anyone can help us, it'll be great

Hi Ade,
I tried all possible combinations of fetching the data. Writing a PL/SQL function and assigning the data to placeholder in before report trigger. Also, tried to use a query and then assign the data to placeholder through formula column. Directly assigining the database column on field without using placeholder.
While trying all the above options, I ensured that width is set to 4000 characters.
But all in vain. It works fine for 2000 characters but not able to print 4000 characters.

PDF output not retaining same formatting as done in RTF

Hi All,
I have created a RTF template and need to show the output in PDF. Now in the RTF, as per the requirements, I am not enclosing my form fields in any table or inside any tabular cells. So I have to display the output something like this
Name : Peter
Age : 30 years
Address : New Jersy
Dept : Accounts
but after placing the form fields in their right places, when I see the output in PDF, the formatting is lost and values are NOT displayed at their desired places as set in the RTF template. So I get the PDF output something like this
Name : Peter
Age:
30 years
Address :
New Jersy
Dept :
Accounts
Is there a method to fix the form fields so that they don't move and i get the output in the same way as I have designed in the RTF template.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

PDF output not showing all 4000 characters

Hi,
I have a placeholder column of character data type and its width is 4000. When I execute the report and see it pdf output it shows only 1980 characters with last line characters going beyond the report margins.
Is there a way to display all 4000 characters?

PDF output not printing specific Czech character

Hi,
On the XML template i have harcoded some Czech characters like, měna & Peněžní
if any Czech character has small v on top of the character, then the report output prints as ? instead of that character. For examplae, měna & Peněžní in PDF output prints as m?na & Pen??ní . It prints rest of the Czech characters correctly. The issue happens only with PDF output. When i keep the Format as EXCEL then it prints the Czech characters correctly. Can any one help me on this issue.
Thanks
Shankar

FM10: PDF output not including part of graphic in header

Here are my versions: (TCS3.0)
FM 10.0.1.402
Acrobat 10.1.1
Distiller 10.1.133
I have a book recently created in FM10. I needed to add a very large table. I followed Barb Binder's instructions for setting up landscape master pages (from the IconLogic 8/9/11 Skills & Drills newsletter). Everything worked perfectly. I was able to create the master pages and body pages using them, and eventuallly get the large table in the doc file. So far so good... I wanted to see how the new pages and table would look in PDF, so I did a File > Save as PDF. The PDF was created as expected.
However, I have a strange issue with our company logo in the header. It's in the header on all pages of this document and looks fine on all pages in FM - both on the body and master pages. But in the PDF, the last letter of the company name is cut off. I cannot figure out what's going on. I've also tried to Print to File using the Adobe PDF printer and creating a PS file that I then distilled to PDF. Same problem no matter what method I use. In the PDF, the logos on all non-landscape pages are fine.
Here are some screen caps.
The document open in FM - this shows the Telesoft logo on left and right body pages using the landscape master pages:
Here is the LandscapeLeft master page:
The LandscapeRight master page:
Here's a screen cap of a LandscapeLeft page in the PDF:
Here's a screen cap of a LandscapeRight page in the PDF:
Notice the final "T" missing for the header graphic on both the right and left pages. On the master page, there is plenty of room in the anchored frame that holds the graphic, so the frame isn't cutting anything off. The exact same headers are used on both the regular and landscape master pages and all is well in the PDF for the regular pages.
I really appreciate any suggestions!
Kim

I wonder if you repeated your steps with a *.png graphic if you would see the truncation in the horizontal layout?
OK, I tried it....interesting, but mixed results.
I created a portrait master page, deleted the header text frame, and imported a png image onto it. The png is on the page, not inside a frame. I then rotated the portrait page to a landscape master page. After several other imports, I have the following on the landscape master page.
1. The png from the original PORTRAIT master page.
2. The png imported to the LANDSCAPE master page without further rotation.
3. The png imported to the landscape master page with a rotation to match 1.
4. The png imported into the footer TEXT frame (which is now perpendicular on the left side of the page). This created an anchored frame to hold the png.
5. The standard text frame for the body text.
6. A copy of 4 but rotated back to portrait.
Then, on the body page that uses this lanscape master page, I imported the png. As per normal, this created an anchored frame below the line to hold the png. Of course it is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, because the text frame was rotated with the page.
RESULTS in the PDF:
a. ALL the png images were complete, EXCEPT 1 and 4. Interestingly, 1 was clipped on the right (bottom in landscape) and 4 was clipped on the left (top in landscape).
b. The png in 4 was NOT selectable, as Kim noted. When I clicked it, only the anchored frame was selected. When rotated back to zero degrees (6), the png was then selectable.
HOWEVER:
I was going to show a screen shot, but the png I used had company information in it. So, I created a png (Photoshop) of a flower, and created another master page with all six items.
c. THIS master page showed NO clipping on ANY of the png images.
d. To be complete, I created another png image from an eps file using Illustrator to mimic the workflow that created my original png. AND there was NO clipping of any of the png images in the PDF.
So, the results are mixed. But my tests indicate that the best way to create the master page is to rotate the page FIRST, then import the logo image. Do rotation after the import to get it into the correct orientation. DO NOT import the image into a background text frame (header or footer or other) that is on the master page. This creates an anchored frame holding the image, but the image is not selectable.
Hope this helps,
Van

R12.1.3 - Reports 10g PDF Output not opening from SRS window

Gurus,
Your help will be highly appreciable for the below context.
While trying to open a report output, following error occurs and won't show the PDF format correctly.
"There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document(135)".
Object Type : Reports 10g with graph
Conc Program Output Type : PDF
Note: Currently issue happening only in DEV instance not in UAT/Prod instance.
Thank You.

Hi,
When you click View Output, press the Control key and see if you get an open/save dialog. If one is displayed, save the document and try opening it directly from the PDF reader.
If this does not resolve the issue, post a screenshot of the error.

Bashar

PDF output not correct.

I'm using: Report Builder 10.1.2.3.0
When I run the report thru the Builder, the report prints out at 100% in PDF format.
When I run the report thru the application server, the PDF defaults to 6.5% (like a postage stamp size).
Please note this is the only report that does this.
Is there something on the report builder that I have to change?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I suppose that the Application Server is running on a UNIX platform ?
I suggest to open the PDF files (the one created on Windows and the one Created on UNIX) in a text editor and compare the decimal separator
used in the PDF file.
A wrong decimal separator may lead to problems (The decimal separator used depends on the LOCAL variables set on the UNIX platform)

Images in Safari are not good quality

I've recently switched over to a MacBook Pro from my iBook G4 and one thing that is really annoying me and that I can't find a solution to the quality of images whilst internet browsing with Safari. It basically gives information of Shift + R improves quality of image, however I just want it to look in top quality all the time!
Thanks, I hope to have this resolved soon.
Russell

Actually yes!
I'm not familiar with fuse, but I found the action in line one of your third frame (on the main timeline) dubious, and a quick search lead me to try "portfolio._brightness = 0;" as first line (and I commented out the original line) that worked.
My quess is that whatever template or original file you've been modifing/adjusting used some kind of color-fade in at that point, and you somehow broke it.
To me it looks ok without it, but you let me know if you need further guesswork from me.
cheers

Images or pdf not inserted anymore in Mail

Hello,
my images or PDF are not "inserted " in my mail messages anymore
the only show as an attachment
How do I bring back the "inserted"
what terminal commandto re-activate "insert docs (jpg, QT, PDF) within email

Hi,
what you are seeing is just the way the message is displayed for you on your Mac. There's no difference in sending (an receiving) the mail whether you used icon view or the full preview while composing the message. Even though you might have set it to show the image directly as a full preview while composing, the receiver's mail client might be set up to always show attachments as icons and not inline.
To switch the view for you while composing simply right-click on the image, pdf, etc. and select *View as Icon* or *View in Place*.
It's one of Mail's annoyances that there's no option to always use one specific view mode. It automatitcally decides what to do. That is, everything is shown +in place+ unless it reaches a certain file size or is a multi-page document (pdf).

Images in PDF reports

I have a report that indicates the health of a project by showing an image, like a stop light. The query looks like this:
select     "PM_PROJECTS"."ID" as "ID",
'<img src="#APP_IMAGES#'||lower(HEALTH)||'.gif">' health_image,
     "PM_PROJECTS"."OWNING_TEAM" as "OWNING_TEAM",
     "PM_PROJECTS"."PROJECT_NAME" as "PROJECT_NAME",
"PM_PROJECTS"."PHASE" as "PHASE",
     "PM_PROJECTS"."HEALTH" as "HEALTH"
from     "PM_PROJECTS" "PM_PROJECTS"
where "PM_PROJECTS"."ID" <> 144
The client likes paper reports, so I have a link to "print" the report to PDF. However, the image does not appear on the PDF version of the report, just an empty column. Is there a way to display the image in PDF output?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
I'm actually wondering about the same thing, however, I'd like to implement a BLOB-image in a PDF Report.
I found this link http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/05/05#a34 which makes it seem that BI Publisher supports base64encoded pictures. (There's a sample there aswell)
Now my question is; how can we get the blobdata presented as base64 in the XML from ApEx? Anyone with some experience on this?
