Image saturation diminished in saved pdf's

Hi - any reason that I don't know of as to why the saturation in images that are saved as a pdf become so dull? They look perfect on the slide as a presentation, but the minute you export the presentation as a pdf the saturation and some of which are highly saturated just gets horrible and muted within the pdf.
Please note that these images are already "finished" images that I have created in Photoshop or elsewhere and do not need adjusting within Keynote.
Thank you

Turn on view large images in the preferences. You might consider reducing the display resolution in the PDF creation tool to about 300 or 600 dpi (I use 300). The default is 1200. That might help.

Image not appearing in saved PDF (Save As)

I've created a Word document with my company's logo image at the top, but when I save it as a PDF in Acrobat X the logo is not visable. The image is still there, however, it's replaced with just a box. Any suggestions?

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs. The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue? I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
Thanks.

I had the same problem.
Got a 90% fix. Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
1. Quit Image Capture
2. Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
3. Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
4. Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
5. Quit and restart "Image Capture". Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder. It insists on saving to "Pictures".
That's as far as I was successful. I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
This is what I tried:
6. Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
7. Quit "Image Capture". Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
8. Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
9. Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer. I like "~/Desktop"
10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter. Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
I consider this a bug.

Images fail to appear in pdf when saving as pdf in formscentral

Images fail to appear in pdf when saving as pdf in formscentral, am I doing something wrong?
Image is saved as a jpg and appears on the Formscentral form but is not there on the pdf

Sorted it out the image was in CMYK format, saved it to RGB, and it worked

Custom "Save as PDF" directly to a destination folder overwrites previously saved PDF files

Custom "Save as PDF" directly to a destination folder overwrites previously saved PDF files
As many of you will know, within Mac OSX it is possible to "print" any document off as a PDF. You simply prepare your document then invoke the "Print" command and in the resulting print dialog box, click the "PDF" button in the bottom left corner which spills out a menu with various options including "Save as PDF..." as shown in the image below:
Selecting the last option "Edit Menu" permits users to add specific folders to which a PDF of the document will be saved. As you will note from the image above, I have created a number of destinations such as "Bank Transfers" (for anything on screen in Safari I wish to preserve when using my on-line banking facility); "Bind" (which I use with an Automator workflow to consolidate many PDFs into one long document); "Officeworks" (for stuff I need to copy to a USB stick and have printed on on large plotters); "iPad" (for anything I need to put on my iPad through "iAnnotate" or "Documents") etc
The problem I have discovered is that with the introduction of Mountain Lion, PDFs that get saved directly to a destination folder get overwritten by later versions of PDFs that are produced from the same document. This is fine when working on a single document that you may want to have the latest print of a document but not so when you produce many different PDFs from the same browser window in Safari as you surf through a number of websites etc.
Prior to Mountain Lion, pervious versions were never over-written but rather preserved them with new versions having version number suffixes added e.g., untitled.pdf, followed by untitled1.pdf, untitled2.pdf, untitled3.pdf etc.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? (other than a workaround like switching to Finder to rename or move files around)

The "Save to Web Receipts" bug existed for a long time - here's a MacOSXHints article offering a workaround in 2007. Here's another reference to it in 2009. Your contention that:
Prior to Mountain Lion, pervious [sic] versions were never over-written.
is, I'm afraid, wrong.
Apple fixed (worked around) that bug by using a .pdfworkflow, as I indicated. As I also indicated, this file can't be opened with Automator (or I just don't know how, which is no great surprise ). But it's the answer to your problems.
You can either wait for Apple to fix what is, admittedly, a huge bug in their PDF Services feature, or you can find a way of implementing the same fix they did for your own folders.
I should be doing the same, as I use PDF Services regularly, but I'm too lazy and have had too little success with Automator in general to give it a shot. You may have more success than I did.
Good luck

Saving PDF in Preview results in unsearchable File

Hi
I found an archieved discussion (but without a single answer to the question), so I'm reproducing it here again because I have the exact same problem and am hoping for suggestions for a solution:
"If I take any PDF that is searchable (say from the internet or exported in ms-word) open it in Preview.app, and do a "Save as..." the resulting PDF is not searchable (and btw bigger in file size). I can properly cut and paste text from the original, but from the saved PDF the text is corrupted. Is this a known issue?"
Can anyone help with this one plz.? it's really annoying. thnx.

Open the first document in Preview. Select View -> Thumbnails. Drop the second document onto the thumbnail image of the first one, not in the blank space in the thumbnail panel.

Slices/lines in saved pdf files

Hi, I've been saving my pdf files from illustrator cs5 and every once in a while the saved pdf shows these lines slicing through parts of the image. They kind of look like the box outlines when you select an object in illustrator. I didn't think they would show up in the final prints but they did. Makes it look like someone scratched the image or something. Weird.
Anyways I made the image in illustrator a bit smaller, and it came out nicer when I printed as pdf that time, but if I zoom out a bit the lines show up again, so I don't know if it's going to show up again if I have it printed. I'm using expensive paper so I don't want to trial and error this any further if it can be avoided.
Thanks.

Please repost in the Illustrator forum. Your question doesn't not concern Workflow issues.

Saving PDF files from illustrator

Hi
Can anybody help we are having an issue with illustrator cs3 and cs4 when saving pdf files
as you can see this is the file in illustrator and the images butt togeather with a black line down the middle when we then save the pdf and we have tried different options it moves the image, the images are placed eps images. This is not file specific as we have tried other files/images.
Can anybody help

Yes I think I understand the problem and I believe it is expected behavior and I will explain.
You must convert the images to cmyk in photoshop first before placing them in Illustrator or convert them after but since they are linked the conversion has to take place in photoshop by using the link panel to edit the original.
Now it should work as expected but I did this without the using a black key line on the rectangle I used for my clipping so once you have the rectangles position if you still find you have this problem then go bak and redo the clipping mask without the black stroke.
This is my result in Acrobat with the images converted to cmyk so I am positive you stated with RGB and did not convert before placing.
As you can at 6400% magnification it is fine. This is the top edge of the two butted images when saved as pdf after converting the files to cmyk in Photoshop. PDX 1a supports CMYK.
This is what it looks like when using the inked files when they are rgb

Images won't show in pdf file

I create a file in Publisher and insert images as .gif files (have also saved as .jpeg). No problem. But as soon as I convert them over to pdf the image is replaced by a gray box. Now if I print the pdf file the images show and print just fine. Why would they change during conversion? Also this just started today. When I left work on Friday my images were just fine in pdf. The only thing I was attempting to do was adjust the display preferences so the pages started out smaller rather than zoomed out to 151%, which it was defaulting too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks so much. I have no idea how that got turned off, but it was.

JavaCode: Save as image, then re-combine as PDF?

I'm using Acrobat X Pro, Windows 7.
I'm trying to remove ALL ability for clients to modify data in a file. Because not even flattening will remove everything, and printing and scanning again is out of the question, I have a slow workaround: I save my PDF as a PNG image, then back as a PDF in order to clean the file and make everything permanent.
This is VERY time consuming so in order to speed up this process, I need an action that runs a javascript that does the following:
1) Save the current open file as a PNG into currentdirectory\currentfilename1.png... filename2.png... filename3.png... etc.
2) Combines the PNG files into a single PDF.
3) Saves that PDF as the original filename with "_img" appended to the end of the filename.
4) Deletes the PNG files recently created.
Can someone help me code this? It looks like something that a guru could code quickly, but i know nothing about java yet this code would save me hours a day. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

One more question - is there a reason you aren't using the security settings to restrict any edits to the document? It's available at the click of a button and fairly effective at rendering documents unusable for anything but viewing (correctly configured).
Other than that, you could create an action that has no steps, just the Save function, using the 'Export File9s) to Alternate format' option to create the PNG files (adding the _img extension.
Then create a second action that assembles files in the directory (where the PNG files were saved) into a single PDF.
Unfortunately, your stuck with having not only multiple actions, but manual intervention with this method, as you have to identify the files to combine for the second action.
First, thanks everyone for your help so far! it's been great! but it is still an unanswered question:
Regarding security settings, see the post i just made.
For the action solutions, I like your suggestion better than what i've been doing because it at least reduces my steps by a few.
so then is it possible to create a javaSCRIPT to combine all files in a fixed location sequentially into a single PDF? Theoretically, this seems like an easy thing to script to someone who knows how--unless it's just not possible the way acrobat was written. Am i wrong?

Saving PDF to last folder

I have Adobe Reader X 10.0.0, PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x). I have been saving PDF's for years, and each time I save, it goes to the last folder I saved to? The other day, I had approximately 15 PDF's that had been scanned to me, and after I had saved 5 of these documents normally, it then started going straight to a temporary folder, and has done ever since, which means I have to go through all the folders to get the one I desire? I have spoken to our I.T. department and they believe its a problem with PDF and not with our system, and I believe otherwise. I can use Recent Places, but when you have done the same thing for years, and the amount I do, change is not always good
Has anyone encountered the same problem, and can help?

Hi Kat,
This is a bit geeky, but the signature appearance that you see on the page is not the signature, but just a graphical representation of the actual signature. The actual signature is a blob of hex encoded data in the PDF file that you don't really see. That aside...
When you create a digital signature the first thing Acrobat/Reader will ask you to do is select a digital ID to sign with. Acrobat then reads the digital ID and amasses some information to use to create the signature appearance. It then fills in the form field (a signature field is just a special use form field) with the appearance, BUT the signature still hasn't been created. The next thing Acrobat does is asks you to Save the file to disk. This is more geekiness, but it much safer to compute the signature byte range on disk then it is in memory. The simple explanation is it's harder for the bad guys to manipulate the bytes on disk then it is for them to control the bytes in memory and because a digital signature provides document security we err on the safe side and require the file to be written to disk before the signature is created. The other safety item is, we want to sign the signature appearance so that someone can't come along later and modify the appearance without breaking the signature, so it (the appearance) has to be created before the signature proper is created.
So at this point you've seen the signature appearance and thought that the signature has been created, but it hasn't. When you try to save to the network folder something is preventing Acrobat from saving the file and what ends up happening is the file is rolled back to the pre-signature state and the signature appearance is removed. The file is in essence untouched.
All of that aside (which is probably more than you really wanted to know) the real question is why can't the file be saved to the network folder. This isn't really a digital signature issue, but rather a network permissions issue.

Hyper link of public image(hyperlink or image) can not be saved on windows server 2012 and sharepoint 2010 problem

hyper link of public image(hyperlink or image) can not be saved on windows server 2012 and sharepoint 2010 problem, is this a bug?
thanks for any reply.

It is not a bug, you might be using IE in Windows server 2012 and and browser might be restricting your site actions to respond properly.
Check this in a different browser or access site in a differ OS.

I saw the responses on the page to opening and saving pdfs but it is cumbersome to shut down the function in Mozilla and work around it. Is there a fix coming?

Until the Firefox 23 update I had no difficulty opening or saving pdfs in Firefox, but since the most recent update (Firefox 23) I often get error messages about damaged files when I use the download button and try to open or save files. I've checked with another browser and they open or save fine. I've tried disabling the pdf but it is cumbersome. I am using MSWord 7 if that makes any difference. Is there a fix coming for this?

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select Adobe Reader Plugin for Netscape (or something similar). Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything.

While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. It happens at random time and a restart of the computer is all that helps, then with out any notice it starts to do this again. Mac Book Pro i7 2.2 16 GB 1333 Ram, (2) 450GB SSD both internal to machine. At this point I am losing file because I am unable to save in the file type I need. Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?
Thanks

I haven't been unify photoshop much in the past month, but I did try your suggestion and it seemed to work for a while. Today when i went to save a document the same thing happened: click on file>save at this point I can not click on save even though it is highlighted. Tryed to use command s that brings up the save dialogue box, but when I try to change file type I again cannot select it from the drop down menu.
