InDesign is placing a drop shadow on the art I place on documents in creation stage

InDesign is placing a drop shadow on the art I place on documents in creation stage and need to stop that from happening.

Then I guess you need to provide a LOT more detail about what is happening. Do you use object styles? Have you checked to be sure that drop shadow is not active with no object selected?

How do I add a drop shadow to the page in Muse?

How can I apply a drop shadow to the page template in Muse? If I place a rectangle it will not change shape according to the page size. Is this a feature?

Hello,
You're most possibly referring to "Favicons", and they can be added in a Muse site from the "File -> Site Properties -> Layout" section. Check this screenshot: http://jingsite.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2013-09-05_2332.png
Hope this helps.

In Logic X printing to pdf gives me strange drop shadows after the notes, text.. etc.

I'm doing a score layout in logic pro X and sended some PDF print files to my client, but he said there were drop shadows on the notes and text. It's really annoying and I can't figure out what the solution for this problem could be. I opened an older project in logic 9 to find out if it was the software, or maybe the conversion to pdf, but in logic 9 there was no problem . The pdf's were sharp as a knife.
Is there a solution for this problem?
Many thanks for any help

I have the exactly same issue.

How do I remove the drop shadow from the value labes on my bar chart in Pages?

How do I remove the drop shadow from the value labes on my bar chart in Pages?

As far as I know, you must use brute force in the index.xml file describing the document.
Search the descriptor of your values labels
It starts with : <sf:SFCBarSeriesValueParagraphStyleProperty>
and delete the three items describing the shadow.
I highlighted it with red.

How do I remove drop shadows from the default text in the labels of a Numbers pie chart?

I set up a pie chart in Numbers and set labels for percentage. The default text has drop shadowss. They do print well at the scale needed for the page. I cannot find out how to remove these shadows for clearer printing. Can the shadows be removed?

Nevermind. Found the answer in nthe side bar under "Re:how can I print the figures (text) in a chart WITHOUT a cast shadow. I had the Font window set too narrow and it did not show the Text Shadow button in the tool bar. Unclicking that worked.

How do I remove the drop shadow from the value label on a bar chart?

All of the shadow settings are disabled for the value labels, and for the chart in general, but the shadows still show. Any ideas on how I can remove them?

ensure you have selected the label, not the graph:
shadow on:
shadow off:

How do you remove the drop shadow in the image area?

Subject says it all. I've looked all over and can't find a way to disable it.

Thanks to the both of you! I swear I looked through there three or four times and didn't see that option even though I changed other options on that screen.

InDesign 5.5 - Type with drop shadow placed in front of gray box causes "shadow box". Ditto Graphics

I exported this document from InDesign 5.5 using PDFX-4 and sent to the print service provider. The Printer's Proof showed problems in a couple of places:
1. In InDesign, white type with a drop shadow is placed over a background box containing a placed greyscale Illustrator graphic . In the Proof, behind the type box appears a yellow-grayish shadow.
2. In InDesign, a photo (placed greyscale Photoshop file), with a white border and drop shadow, is placed over a grey background box (CMYK). In the Proof, behind the graphic box and shadow appears a gray shadow box (lighter than the drop shadow).
The printer informed me that he doesn't have PDFX-4. I resent the job using PDFX-3(1.3). Will that solve the problem, or is there some other problem?
The printer needs to go to press, so don't have much time.

You should probably ask in the InDesign forum. Looks like everything you are doing is InDesign specific.

Drop shadow on eps shape produces fine line when inserted into InDesign and PDF created.

Hi I am having a few issues with an eps file that I have created. Basically it is a eps file with shapes, a gradient and a drop shadow on the outlined text - created in illustrator.
All looks fine until I take it into Indesign and create a pdf. I then get a line around where the drop shadow is. Zooming in doesn’t make it go away, but it also does not change its size.
I have done some research and tried one fix (have the drop shadow as another object using multiply as the opacity) this did not work.
Anything else talks of spot colours (there are none) or just having view ok on the screen (take off smoothing). But none of these are fixes for when I send this image to my client. I also tried saving as different pdf formats but this also does not work.
The only way I can make it go away is to save the file as an illustrator ai file and use that for pdfs. This would be OK, but other suppliers need to use the file and want eps format.
From what I have read, it seems to be a screen artefact and so theoretically should not appear when printed. But I do not know this for sure and I hesitate to send it to the client as it is.
Has anyone seen this before? And are there any fixes (e.g.: treating the drop shadow differently)?
Thanking you in advance.
Cheers
Nikola

EPS is simply unsuitable when dealing with transparency (which is what your drop shadow is). So you need to work with AI for placing in InDesign. If other suppliers need EPS, then just send them that. Nothing should keep you from exporting another file format.

Adding a Drop Shadow to text in InDesign CS6

I have no character styles in my recent installation of Cloud InDesign CS6 and want to know how I import these effects.

Character Styles and Drop Shadow, (an object-level effect), are not related. There is nothing to import.
To apply a drop shadow to text, select (black arrow) the text frame and choose Drop Shadow from the fx menu at the bottom of the Effects panel, (Window > Effects). The Drop Shadow dialog opens where you set the parameters of the effect.

Drop Shadow On Placed PDF Illustrator CS2 XPSP3

Hi,
Is it not possible to add a drop shadow to a placed PDF in Illustrator CS2? I'm not managing.
Thanks for any help,
Ariel

I don't have CS2, I have CS4. If you, or someone else, generate in CS4 a PDF in Illustrator and save as Illustrator PDF, then open a new AI file and Place the vector graphic(s) the drop shadows work on the artwork itself. If you generate a vector graphic in Photoshop and save the file as a Photoshop PDF then Place it in Illustrator, it will create a drop shadow around the bounding box of the canvas that you had in PS. I will now try to use a Photoshop PDF with an Alpha Channel and delete the background, save it as a Photoshop PDF and see if it will generate a drop shadow around the artwork, rather than the bounding box. Stay tuned . . .

Indesign CS6 text drop shadow changes background colour

I have two layers, one for a background image linked to a photoshop document and another layer for text. When i add drop shadow to the text, the background colour goes sort of dark, and the same happens in overprint view whereas with 5.5 it didn't do that. Is there a way to fix this?
Before:
After:

Looks like maybe an RGB image with a CMYK transparency blend space applied.

Any way to get rid of the drop shadow on Screen Captures in Leopard?

i do a fair bit of procedure documentation work, and so use screen captures quite a lot. Since upgrading to leopard the screen grab tool now puts a 77(ish) pixel white border and drop shadow around the screen captures, which might look trendy for some things, but for the stuff I am doing is just annoying, and something that I have to remove from all of my screen captures.
Is there any way to turn this "feature" off.

There's a Terminal tweak that I got from Mac OS X Hints here:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080629181121863
You just copy-paste a line into Terminal.app and after a restart the cursed shadows are gone!
If you do a Command-Shift-4 then hit space for a window grab, then grab the Dock, then there's apparently a single funkiness with this fix, in that the resulting image in this specific case (of the Dock) is stretched horizontally. I haven't seen mention of any other side effects, and otherwise it's working fine on my system, but be aware of that.
The Dock shows up fine in any other type of grab, so since I never take a picture of just my doc using the grab window function, I'm more than pleased to use this and get useful window shots back again.
Hope this helps!

Save for Web is not displaying white text, only showing the drop shadow of a vector.

I just updated Illustrator this morning and now having this issue. I have two logos on the artboard. Both are filled with white, both have the same small drop shadow. The both show up on the artboard, but when I try to save for web or export into a .jpeg the white doesn't fill in on one logo, but it does on the other.
Anyone have any ideas on a fix?

Do the white objects appear when in Overprint mode?

Change distance and size of drop shadow does not allow me to use the arrow up/down, or any of the effects windows.

Does anyone know why I'm not able to use the up/down arrow shown above. This has only happened recently.

You have two different blending modes on your layer that are neutralizing each other.
You probably have your text on a separate layer.
In the the Effects PANEL (NOT the dialog box) you have the blending mode set to SCREEN.
In the Effects DIALOG box you have drop shadow with the default MULTIPLY blending mode.
See the setting in the lower left of the dialog box.
Object is set to Screen 100% ( in the Effects PANEL)
But the Drop Shadow is set to MULTIPLY in Effects DIALOG box
These settings are canceling out each other.
