Indesign CS5 - png images blur in interactive PDF

I use CS5 to create client documents and beginning to learn how to make PDF documents interactive.  We use .png files which export to PDF (print) with no problem either on screen or when printed, but when the same file is exported to PDF (interactive) the images are blurred both on the screen and when printed.  The png files are created in Photoshop. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem and have sharp images in interactive PDFs???  I'm hoping its something basic and easy!

Hi Eugene
Many thanks for your suggestion.  I've tried it and it works and glad it was something simple
Cheers

  • How to: add images into an Interactive PDF

    I was wondering if it was possible to add images into an interactive PDF once it has been sent to someone. The PDFs are forms that need to be filled by a client via their iPads using Adobe Expert, and they may need to occasionally attach images to the document and be able to edit these images (i.e. circle parts of the image to highlight them) then send these PDF's back to myself.
    Is there a way this can be done?
    Thanks

    There is no program on the iPad called Adobe Expert. I think you mean Adobe Reader.
    Adobe Reader lets you fill in forms but not to attach images. If you wish to make a request of the Adobe Reader product manager, you can post on the Adobe Reader for iOS forum here:

  • Adobe InDesign CS5.5 wandelt normales Schwarz bei PDF in 4c um, wie verhindern?

    Adobe InDesign CS5.5 wandelt normales Schwarz bei PDF in 4c um, wie verhindern?

    To a Moderater: Can someone move it to the German forum?
    ===
    WIe sind Deine Farbeinstellungen: Bearbeiten > Farbeinstellungen? Vor allem was sind die verwendeten CMYK-Richtlinien.
    Das Problem ist dann gegeben, wenn Dein Dokument in einem CMYK-Farbprofil angelegt ist (und Deine Grafiken) und die Ausgabe erfolgt auf ein anderes Farbprofil.
    Damit der Farbeindruck gleich bleibt, werden die Farben in ein anderes Farbprofil konvertiert, damit die Farbwerte gleich bleiben, wird die Einstellung Werte erhalten verwendet. Das ist eben in den Farbeinstellungen generell festgelegt, kann jedoch spezifisch beim PDF-Export abweichend gewählt werden.
    Bei der Verwendung von CMYK-Bildmaterial steht man bei einem abweichenden Ausgabeprofil vor dem Dilemma, entweder man erhält die Farbwerte und verändert den Farbeindruck der Bilder oder man konvertiert und konvertiert daurch auch in buntes Schwarz.
    Die einfache Lösung in InDesign ist, dass man ausschließlich Bilder, also Fotos, in RGB platziert und Vektoren als CMYK und dann bei der Ausgabe „Werte erhalten” wählt.

  • Poor image quality from Interactive PDF

    HELP!
    A logo that is placed in InDesign and exported as an Interactive PDF isn't displaying correctly.
    The client says it's corrupted when viewed on a laptop. Certain letters in the logo seem longer than others and some appear thicker.
    It's an RGB vector file. I've tried ai, eps, pdf, png, jpeg. I've redrawn the letters. I've copied and pasted it into another document. I've reduced the scale of it. I've copied it from illustrator straight into Indesign.
    I've changed the image handling compression, JPEG Quality and Resolution in the export to Interactive PDF settings.
    I don't know what else to try.
    The client says at 200% the logo looks ok in acrobat, but in full screen mode the problem comes back.
    Please help!

    The letter 'I' looks longer and wider.

  • InDesign CS5 ePUBS Image Consistency across platforms

    Hello!
    I have a question I've been asking myself for months, and finally made an account here for the Adobe Forums, which seems to be pretty much the only place with useful information about ePubs.
    I work in a company that's planning on transferring over 70 print modules (between 80-150 pages each) to be available on iPad and Android tablets / phones.
    InDesign CS5 helps a lot, especially with being able to choose Header 1s as Page Breaks.
    But, I seem to be having some issues with a couple of things that's preventing us from publishing these documents to the Apple Store and Androind Market.
    1) Superscript / Subscript not appearing correctly on final product (Though this has been achieved by using Sigil to hack the CSS)
    2) Bullet alignment (The bullets are all aligned perfectly, just not along with the first line, creating a secondary weird indent bug that looks terrible)
    The main issue is pictures. I am using PNG images.   A few months ago, the problem was solved - If I chose NOT to automatically format my images, they appeared perfect on the iPad/iPhone/Galaxy Phone and Galaxy Tab.
    However, we took some time off this project, and now that I'm back on it, Aldiko has a new version, and it seems to break the images.  Now my images in Aldiko are displaying huge, and previously, you'd be able to hold a finger on an image and it would open up full screen to get a closer look, but all of that seems gone now, and I'll only get half of my image at best.
    Checking off to automatically format the images results in terrible low quality images that are so small you can barely see them.
    I've done some research and apparently Aldiko is one of the most used free e-readers for android, so I'd definitely like for our products to display fine on it.
    Any suggestions? Anyone else that experiences similar problems?

    Your question is rather an advanced one. I've observed that most of us who reply to ePUB questions here are still learning to make ePUBs.
    I've been told by someone more knowledgeable about it than I that the link below to the MobileRead Forums would lead you to more experienced ePUB creators who may be more helpful:

  • InDesign CS5.5 Fails to export to PDF

    I can't get InDesign (Mac running OS X Lion 10.7.4 ) to export to PDF. It gives me "Failed to Export to PDF" with every document I've tried. I've created new documents to test, and still gives error. I've installed the newest patch (Adobe InDesign CS5.5 7.5.3 update for Macintosh - All Languages) but still am having the same problems.
    Any ideas? I've searched the internet and can't find any solutions that offer any hope. Thoughts?

    The last time we saw this, it turned out to be a font problem, but it could be a lot of things. Take a look at this other thread about failure in CS5.5:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4575362#4575362
    Also, check to see if it works in a new user account, or if it works in the foreground (add the file to a Book, then export from the Book).

  • InDesign CS5 freezes when exporting file as PDF

    InDesign CS5 (7.0.4) run on iMac (OS 10.7.5).
    I find that when exporting a document as PDF InDesign suddenly and randomly freezes at some point during the export process.
    The only option is to force quit InDesign.
    On relaunch InDesign has forgotten all the presets I had saved (eg Document Preset, Preflight Profile).
    This happens fairly frequently but I cannot find a pattern to it or an obvious cause.
    Thanks in advance or any help anyone can offer!!

    I copied and pasted it from the page that is working correctly to this master page, but it still moves.

  • Why does "Print Booklet" from Indesign CS5.5 only create low res pdf? How do I get High Res for Offs

    Long time ID user in Agency. Created a simple 4 page brochure in CS5.5 ID. Facing pages for cust size 11x17 half fold document.
    Generating the pdf for Press and HQ Print renders a nice high res document, but the print booklet feature only produces a skinny low res version. Tried to mess with the printer settings, but the result is the same with a skinny low res document.
    I didn't want to recreate the brochure as a two page manually imposed as I like the option of being able to add more pages in increments of four of course. Plus it's just silly to do that when ID is supposed to handle it for me.
    I worked around it this time by printing to .ps output then distilling, and then splitting the document so printer could have a "front" and "back" 11x17. But this seems kludged big time. This has to be a bug unless I am missing something.

    You probably never changed the default settings in the PDF printer properties. In the print booklet dialog, click the Print Settings button, then the Setup button at the bottom of the Print Dialog that pops up, choose the PDF printer and click on Preferences. Reset the default reset the default settings to the ones you really want to use, or reset them in Windows... Control Panel > Devices and Printers... Double-click the PDF printer, then from the print queue dialog, Printer > Properties... General tab and clcik the Preferences button.

  • Indesign CS5 crashes trying to export from PDF to epub

    I am trying to use Export for command to send a pdf file placed into In Design to epub format.
    The program crashes immeadiately.
    The PDF is 120 pp and includes a TOC. The OS is Win 7 Pro.

    What are you trying to accomplish? Are you thinking that this PDF will be converted to an EPUB with live text?
    It won’t. You will have an epub with 120 JPG images and no TOC at all.
    I don’t know why it’s crashing but it doesn’t matter anyway since, I imagine, you are under the false impression that you will get a functional epub doing this.

  • There were no results for InDesign CS5.5 crashes when exporting a PDF in OSX.

    Clean install, I created a file from scratch with embedded links to jpegs, single page pdfs, and photoshop files I created.
    This is not acceptable in released software to be going backwards like this. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    That sounds like the problem that Larry was talking about which seems to be related to the latest release of Lion. Try holding down the Opt key when you export to bypass the dialogs. You'll find more details at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4496690#4496690

  • Interactive PDF meltdown with InDesign CS5

    Howdy,
    I've just switched from InDesign CS3 to CS5 and I was creating interactive PDF's for my portfolio.
    I work as a retoucher and all I was doing was making an image change from the "before" to the "after" image when the cursor rolledover the image. Easy-peasy job done.
    For some unknown reason, when I now open my images in Acrobat, the images are terribly pixelated and the rollovers do not work.
    It seems the images have to be at 300dpi, whereas before I can downsample them a little to reduce file size and still get a creditable "before" and "after" pic.
    Now it's just a mess mith a massive file size! This seems to have happened all by itself and it's gone into meltdown!
    Any ideas welcome

    Rollovers are currently not working properly, we expect a fix shortly.
    InDesign's PDF export system does not have any connection to Acrobat, so your main question needs to be posted on the InDesign forums.

  • InDesign CS5.5 won't import docx/Word2010 with linked images.

    Hi,
    Maybe somebody knows what is going out
    I have WORD 2010 document with LINKED MathType equations saved as EPS files.
    In WORD 2010 they are LINKED or LINKED AND EMBEDED - but when I try to import this DOCX file into InDesign CS5.5 - images are missing.
    Only EMBEDED images are imported/visible - but of course not linked.
    I hope somebody can tell me if this is WORD or InDesign problem and how to fix this.
    DOC file saved from WORD 2000 - imports perfectly fine - all EPS equations linked in WORD are perfectly visible and still linked in InDesign CS 5.5.
    thx

    Hi Robert, we haven't seen you here for a while. Welcome back.
    Thx
    I know Jongware complains bitterly that Word import can be really flakey. Did you try daving as plain .doc, too? Seems like MathType equations are also the subject of a fair number of posts, too, but I'm not sure they are really a similar problem. I don't suppose there's any way for you to convert the eqations to .ai or PDF and still use them as links in Word, or to embed rather than link?
    I'm working on big tool to automatic mass processing big number of Word files. One of the steps is to prepare Word files with MathType equations for further manual processing. I have a macro (for Word2010) to automatically  export all equations to EPS files. The next step is to reImport EPS files back to Word - so they will be imported into InDesign as linked files and then they could be automatically correctly positioned withing the text.
    The problem is - I've done reImport step in Word2000 - as 2nd macro - and it works perfectly fine for DOC files saved from Word2000.
    Of course I can do this in InDesign - but I think it would be faster in Word.
    I think missing import of the linked files for DOCX files is a BIG bug ...

  • Colour change in identically exported PDFs: InDesign CS5 to CS6

    Artwork turns out with a greener hue in a PDF Print document exported using InDesign CS6 trial software that has ruined a whole print run.
    This catalogue has been printed in past years using CS4 and CS5 software, each time the colours in the exported PDF proof, PDF Print file and InDesign files being accurate and matching perfectly.
    This time I used a trial of InDesign CS6 - Importing the same mother file as previous years and working on the document. When exporting the document however, despite using identical settings to export PDF files in the past, the exported PDFs turn out with a greener hue than the previous CS5 PDFs. I trialed a few different kinds of colour conversions in the PDF export window (i.e. 'no conversion' to 'convert to destination - RGB') just to see what happened -  and all turned out with the same result. The colour change is small but this was exxaggerated at print and as a result the colours
    looked drastically different from the catalogue the year before. Printing aside, (as it's a whole other ballgame), it came down to this slight PDF colour change.
    I'm wondering if anyone can help explain this - does CS6 handle colour exporting differently to CS5?

    Hi Eugene,
    Looking up the settings, they say the following:
    InDesign CS5: Unsynchronised "settings are not synchronised for consistent colour"  (odd; CS5 version is where the file exported with accurate colours)
    InDesign CS6: Synchronised "using the same colour settings for consistent colour management"   (CS6 version exported with a colour change)
    Another thing I've realised that might be an issue:
    The product images are still in RGB format (supplied by the photographer), where everything else in the artwork is in CMYK format. I've run a test export where I've converted everything to CMYK and exported it to a PDF.
    The results:
    InDesign CS5: Same colours consistently on both PDFs with RGB images and with all CMYK images.
    InDesign CS6: Green hue across PDF with RGB images in it, Correct colours in PDF with all CMYK images.
    So is this where the problem lies? The CS6 software having Synchronised colour settings shows a colour change when RGB photos are exported to PDF?
    Let me know your thoughts...

  • Indesign Interactive pdf

    I have a 14 page document with double pages spreads and single front and back cover.
    I would like the brochure to start on the single page front cover and have interactive page curl to the first open spread, I would like to page curl to continue throughout the document until finally finishing on the single back cover.
    I have applied the document page curl creating it as swf then pdf, however the front and back page appears as spread with a extra white page.
    I am using CS5.5
    Im new to interactive pdf so any advice on this would be great!
    Many Thanks!

    I followed a tutorial that told me to export my doc as a SWF then place the SWF back into indesign onto a spread and export the spread I placed it on as a interactive pdf. Sorry not explaining it very well.
