InDesign CS3- Appearing white lines when uploading

Hi Everyone... I've created a brochure, standard 8.5x11 trifold, in InDesign. Everything comes out great, up until I upload the PDF I created in InDesign on a printer's website and view the proof. For some reason, when I view the proof, there are white lines that seem to be some how associated with some of my text. Various places throughout my document, I can see thin white lines above, below, and beside certain text. I've tried changing the version of the PDF to an older version. Didn't work. I tried saving it as a JPEG, instead of a PDF... That looks even worse(blurry border around text... trust me... even worse). I have no idea what's going on. I tried changing the Transparency Flattener Preset... No difference. Please help. Very frustrated and need to have this brochure ordered like... yesterday. I appreciate any input I can get. Thanks for yoru help.

I tried to export it to Acrobat 5, but the issue still exists. The white lines do not form a perfect box. They are lines that appear randomly throughout my brochure. Some of them horizonal, some vertical. Some lines are are the length of words, some are the size of single characters. I'm not sure if this is associated with the stitching issue described above, but just wanted to be specific.
How do you turn off the smooth line art and smooth images option in Acrobat? I didn't find that option in the menu.
Thanks again for your help.

  • Why does my photoshop keep giving black and white lines when I use my lasso tool?

    why does my photoshop keep giving black and white lines when I use my lasso tool? It has never done this before last night. It filles the Whole lasso seleted box with (what it almost looks like) black and white caution lines. then when I go to zoom out, my zoom option starts to mess up where you cant click and move your mouse to zoom in/out with ease but where you have to click to zoom out (many times).
    Can ANYONE help me?

    I am using CS5, WIndows 7, I am not sure how to tell if my drivers are up to, and I am more than happy to screen shot it.

  • Two clips that are overlaid creates white line when rendered

    In Final Cut Pro 7, I have copied a clip on top of itself in the timeline.
    - The clip on top was then moved to the right so that the clip below would be seen slightly ( I needed a way to scoot the subject over while preserving the background on the left side. It is a black and white image over a flush gray background).
    - When the clips are renderd, a white vertical line appears between the two clips
    - The white line remains when exporting, and remains when it is uploaded to vimeo
    - I need it to be gone! It is not there before rendering the timeline, but appears afterward!!!

    What happens if you crop the right image a bit more? Does the line show up?

  • PDF white lines when placing in Illustrator

    I have some PDF graphics created using MapInfo software.
    When I attempt to place the PDF map as a layer in Illustrator, the map appears with numerous white lines as though each polygon area of the original map has been broken up into individual squares.
    Is there some setting in Distiller to overcome this problem?
    Should I be creating an EPS map file and then using that as a layer in Illustrator?

    How was the PDF created? Printed, Exported? Some other method?
    If nothing else helps, you could do the following: it looks like the problems are only in drop shadows and text. You could delete both from the Power Point file, export, save or print the PDF. Then import into Illustrator and recreate shadows and text there.
    I don't think you could transfer the complete graohic from PP to Illy as vector anyway. So rather get away with as much as you can and then complete it.

  • InDesign CS3 crashes without error when opening any 2nd InDesign file

    Issue: InDesign CS3 crashes without error and remains resident in memory if we have an InDesign file open and attempt to open a second InDesign file.
    OS: Win XP SP2
    InDesign Version: 5.0.2
    Hardware: Dell Precision WorkStation T3400, 4 gigabytes of memory, Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600
    Details: No messages in the event viewer about the problem. We renamed the InDesign Defaults and the InDesign Saved Data file. We removed Creative Suite, restarted and then reinstalled Creative Suite (I could not remove and reinstall InDesign individually). We have created a new Windows profile for this user. I have one computer having the trouble. Other InDesign installations are working fine. This computer has 559 files in C:\windows\fonts. Other people that are not having the problem have a larger number of fonts installed.
    The issue is not file specific. We are not running out of memory as I checked the task manager after the first InDesign document is open.
    Why is opening a second document different than opening the first document?

    Hello Peter and Josh,
    I'd just like to assert that I am having the exact same problem as Josh. I've spent the time to go through the steps listed above and have found the same results.
    The issue as we see it multiple times daily is as follows:
    (1) User opens File1 (everything works fine)
    (2) User goes to open File2 (via explorer or via file->open) or print File1
    (3) The User Interface for ID disappears (InDesign.exe still appears in Task Manager and is NOT listed as "Not Responding", ID does not appear in the Task Bar)
    (4) The only way to continue work is to End Task/End Process InDesign.exe and relaunch.
    No error messages appear, no error logs are created(that I can find). Non-related concerns caused us to upgrade this users PC. With a completely new install we are still having the problems. The systems are listed as follows:
    OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
    InDesign Version: 5.0.2
    Newest Hardware: Custom Built Computer, 4GB RAM installed (3.24 recognized by windows), Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
    OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
    InDesign Version: 5.0.2
    Older Hardware: Custom Built Computer, Intel D945GTP Motherboard, 2GB RAM installed, Intel Pentium D processor @ 2.8Ghz
    Troubleshooting:
    (1) Alt+Space and M then using arrow keys moves every other window the user had opened other than In-Design. The user has two monitors. (a) 1280x1024 and (b) 1200x1600 (yes she uses the monitor rotated 90 degrees
    (2) Log files - Non exist in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 folder. I've also done a search across the entire hard drive for any "*.log" files, none of which were adobe related.
    (3) Default Printer - Changing the default printer to Adobe PDF is not really an option. I was able to convince the user to temporarily switch to a different networked printer and await the results (most likely today or tomorrow it should recreate)
    (4) /3GB switch - Getting that last 700 something MB of memory isn't an issue. I've run MemTest.exe on all the available system memory overnight in a "burn in" test. The system ran fine the sticks were nice and warm when I got in from all the hard work :)
    (5) Order of Opening - The problem repeates regardless of order. The trick seems to be opening File2 or printing File1 (I had the user only work on one file at a time (required her to close any open files before opening the next, that wasn't fun for my user but the system didn't crash on opening in this scenario, just on printing. Obviously not a permanent work around)
    Any help here would be much appreciated as this has been plaguing us for months now.

  • InDesign CS3 (XP SP2) crashes when placing files

    Hi,
    every time I try to place an image file etc. into InDesign CS3 (Windows XP, service pack 2) the "place" dialogue pops up for a split second. Then, InDesign freezes. Version Cue is not activated (when I was activated Photoshop CS3 would do the same).
    I'd be more than happy if someone has a hint since naturally InDesign is pretty useless when you cannot place anything. On a sidenote though you can drag files from the explorer into CS3 without it crashing.
    Any help's greatly appreciated.

    Sorry to hear the trick didn't work. Another oft mentioned idea is to open a dialog in Photoshop and resize it. A third is to hit Alt + Spacebar, then M, and then an arrow key, and finally to move the mouse around and see if the dialog appears at the edge of the screen.
    The 3-key keyboard shortcut only works when you are opening InDesign from the start menu or a desktop shortcut, and you have to be REALLY fast. Renaming the prefs files (while ID is closed) is more reliable, but won't give you any indication that the files are being replaced, other than you'll see the welcome screen and everything will be reset to defaults.

  • Macbook display shows black and white lines when fullscreen

    If i leave my Macbook on for a while without shutting down and then I view a photo or movie (in player or safari) fullscreen the screen shows just black and white lines. Sort of like bad tv reception. It has happened a few times and a reboot has fixed it but it comes back. Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks

    I have a similar problem. Not sure you're on here (since the post is really old) but did you manage to work it out? How?
    My thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19007548#19007548
    My Imac froze earlier today as I was dragging an image from safari into indesig and when it froze the weirdest pattern overlaid the screen. It looked just like the opacity pattern from photoshop with grey and white squares. I turned the computer off using the power button and unplugged everything.
    Now when I try to start it these weird lines appear on my start up screen (see link)...
    http://meijerladdaruppgrejer.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/oops/
    as you can see the apple and the wheel appears as normal...
    ... then it moves to a normal looking white screen (perhaps a bit greener than usual) and around 30 seconds later freezes at the blue screen.
    I've tried the cmd + alt + p + r several times but it won't help.
    If i press alt during start up I can see and choose my hard drive but just end up at the blue screen again.
    Can I try starting it up in safe mode or something?

  • Screen with bizarre white lines when PB heats up: Has it been fixed ?

    Some time ago (actually 2 years or so) there have been many complaints about Powerbook monitors running bizarre with white lines all over, especially when the PB is getting warm. There has been evidence that the problem is due to difficulties with the plug connecting the screen to the mainboard (some faulty insulation).
    I wanted to ask if meanwhile there has been found a permanent solution. I have this problem for 3 or more years now. It gets better when I fix the plug from time to time but it keeps on coming and is really disturbing (though it doesn´t affect any other monitor connected to the PB (it´s only the internal screen).
    Thanks for your help
    Wolfgang

    I know, this thread is horrible and consists of many different problems but there IS definitely a problem with faulty screens which has nothing to do with ranting.
    I do own my PB since 6 years now and still love it like most of my Apple products within the last 20 years (besides my G5 who decided to give up with a motherboard failure 3 years after purchase).
    The problem is, that Apple (unfortunately) kept ignoring the problem so that a lot of false presumptions, ideas and ranting occured.
    I can only speak for me and MY PB.
    Since year 2 after purchase always when the PB got warm (i.e. the fans chimed in) the built in screen showed irregular lines which made it unreadable. When closing the screen for a while and then opening it again, the problem disappeared for some minutes only to reoccur after a while.
    The interesting thing is that if you connect an external monitor or beamer they don´t show any problem at the same time when the internal screen gets unreadable (this saved me many presentations) so the problem is most likely to be somewhere between the motherboard and the INTERNAL screen (which makes the connector the most likely cause. Insulating the connector with insulating tape made the problem to disappear for a while but it didn´t help in a long term.
    That´s why I was asking if the problem has been solved meanwhile as I have been resignating more or less (have oredered a MacBook Pro anyway as a substitute for my passed away G5 anyway leaving the PB to my wife ).
    Anyone can comment on this?
    Best regards
    Wolfgang

  • Photomerge produces white lines when using RAW (PEF) but not TIFF

    I just started using PS CC (Mac, v14.1.2) and tried out Photomerge with a set of 40 (4 rows, 10 cols) raw images (Pentax PEF format), resulting in a 0.3 gigapixel image.
    When I have them stitched by Photomerge, I see fine white lines at the merge points.
    I had enabled all 3 options (blend images together, vignette removal, geometric distortion correction), using cylindrical layout.
    When I first convert the PEFs to TIFFs and use Photomerge with the same options, there are no such white lines.
    An example of the bad output:
    These unwanted lines are, of course, at the edges where the images are getting joined.
    Also, when using only a few images (2x2 or 3x3, or even 4x5), I do not get this effect.
    I noticed that when using less images, the blend masks' edges are not straight - but they are when I see this issue. This suggests that at some point the merge operation gets overwhelmed and switches to a simpler algorithm, which in turn has this "bug" with RAW images, apparently.
    Is this a known issue, and is there a way to get this working right with this many RAW/PEF images?

    Sigh. How can Adobe charge so much money for their products and not even afford a team of people to look into bugs that users might want to report. Big companies suck.
    Although you were probably looking for a standard developer-type bug report form, you still might want to take a closer look at that site. You'll see numbers next to the topics; those are user votes to help get something fixed sooner. While it's one thing to submit a bug report (and from this thread it seems they might already have it), Adobe uses that site to help prioritize which bugs to fix first, based on the user discussion and votes. Because Adobe has to decide not only whether a bug needs to be fixed sooner than other bugs, but sooner or later than certain feature requests. The user discussions and user votes on that site help them decide, although I'm sure there are other internal considerations.
    In addition to votes, you'll see that posts on that site can be marked "Acknowledged" or "In Progress" by Adobe. The user votes and status reports are what make that site a little more quantifiable than this forum. Also, it isn't unusual to see Adobe developers and employees in the threads looking for more info or explaining things. So while it might not look like a traditional bug database, it's along those lines but in a way that makes it a little easier for non-technical users to participate in the process.

  • White line when open notification

    when i open notification from app that is not in home screen, i see the white line in top left screen. i find this bug since i upgrade my iPhone to iOS 7.1

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Flash of short white line when screen is black

    Hi,
    I have a 15-inch MBP, late 2008. Lately I've noticed that when the left side of the screen is (almost) entirely black, flashes of short white lines will flicker on the screen.
    To demonstrate what I mean, please go here:
    http://www.sfu.ca/~jca49/screenProblem.html
    That above webpage has no content, except the background is completely black. When I view it in Safari and maximize the window to full screen, as in, the left edge of the page is touching the left edge of the screen, I get flashes of white lines.
    This happens in other instances where the left part of the screen is displaying something completely black as well (ie: if I have a complete black image opened in photoshop and I am in fullscreen view mode).
    I hope I was clear on explaining the problem. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I'm a first time mac owner. What are the steps to go through to get this repaired? (If it needs to be repaired, I mean). I live in Vancouver, Canada, but I bought my MBP through Apple.ca. Does anyone know how long it might take if I need to get it repaired?
    Thank you.

    I had that on my first unibody MBP (bought in october). Machine was replaced with another that had the BSOD issue. 3rd machine runs perfectly so far.
    Basically, return it until you get a perfectly functioning machine. Call apple care and describe the problem to them. I did that with my online order and had no problems. Good Luck.

  • Indesign cs3 for pc crashes when i save, or save as.. Urgent help

    Hi my friends
    Im new here
    I m amateur and use In desiugn for a book I create each year for a friend. But this year I  started to work on it and when I saved, the program frizz and  I have to close it. i have a PC and windows XP
    Same thing happened to photoshop, which I use  very often and on the net I found the solution, desactivating  version cue
    But in in design I read all I could but I cannot fix it. I read some solutions here for MAC. I upgraded  the last in design that gave me a 3.1.0 version but it crashed again. I  dont know what to do and Im very delayed with the deadline
    Sorry for my english I speak spanish but will aprecitatte any help.. is that CS3 is not worthy anymore'??
    This is what I found on the net

  • Is it normal to see white lines when you press the home screen while it's charging?

    Hi, I have a brand new ipad mini and I'm noticing that while I'm charging it and it's in sleep mode, if I press the home screen button whitish/grey lines will appear on the bottom of the screen for a few seconds then fade away. Is normal when charging your ipad mini?

    No it is not.
