InDesign to PDF - Keeping Paper color/ BG color transfer

Hello, I'm working on a "Yellow pages" project, where i have changed the "paper" color to a canary yellow, as is going to printed. Is there a way to keep that color when exporting to PDF, so that the background/ paper color remains or transfers to the PDF? ...as is it changes to white when i export. Thank you.

>Save the file and then
create a new file. I put a yellow frame on the master and then place the
original file. I set the ad to multiply to show my client for approval.
Yes, but you still wouldn't do this with a yellow paper color, would you Bob. OP needs to do it with a new color called "bg yellow" and I'd argue ideally change that paper yellow back to white ASAP! AFAIK, that's nothing but mischief waitin to happen, I tell ya.
Maybe it's just the Quark in me or the 5th black, but the road to forehead slapping was built on not changing it back...
('cause I ain't never slapped my forehead over anything else ;) )

  • How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?

    How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?
    When I try to open the document in Illustrator and I convert to CMYK the black font converts to rich black, but to set up for Offset printintg I need the text to be only in Black (100%K).
    The original source of the document is a Microsoft Word file, I have converted the Word file to Pdf in order to setup for OFfset Printing.
    Thanks

    I have tried that way, but the downside is that the fonts are set in gray not in a 100%K, also I have to deal with other fonts that are composites and meant to stay Full Color. I could select text by text and convert to gray but, its a 64 page document and I wouldn't want to make a expensive mistake.

  • When inserting a .pdf of a document with a standard white paper color the test and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

    When inserting a .pdf of a document into a Keynote template with a standard white paper color the text and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

    Use the color fill option - select the inserted .pdf and assign a fill color of white to it using the Color Fill Menu on the Toolbar or the Color Picker Palette.
    Good Luck.

  • How to print Indesign 1 built 20 pg. doc. using Indesign 4, saddle stitch on color copier????

    I have a document built in the first version of Indesign. We have two Macs (OS 10.4.11).  My employer purchased a Sharp/COECO brand 6200 color copier/printer (a big boy!).
    The #1 criteria for purchasing that equip. was that it had to successfully print our annual president's report. (After Sharp delivered the copier/printer, things went down hill starting with day one. Bad motherboard in machine; got new motherboard. Output quality shifted causing uneven margins on large posters (11x17) went sent directly from the Macintosh and it gets worse.) Long story short, our Sharp folks said it was because we were operating with Indesign 1 that the features for creating a saddle-stitch job appear grayed out (selections are shown, but we could not select them). Just last week we purchased Indesign 4. Installed it. Tried the very same steps as we tried with Indesign 1. Areas to select to create a booklet using saddle-stitch feature are still grayed out.
    Document information: 20 page, single-page built 8.5 x 11 document (built using Indesign 1).
    Cover Paper (for pages 1 & 20 and 2 & 19) : 80# Futura Laser Dull
    Content Paper (for pages 3-18) : 80# Futura Laser Text
    We want 700 copies of a 20 pg. document. We were instructed by our copier tech/specialist to print the covers separate (since they were to be a different weight paper). So I created an 11 x 17 horizontal layout to place my already built 8.5 x 11 single pages into so they would be printer spreads (the only way I knew to do it). Pages 20 & 1 were side one; pages 2 & 19 were side two. I printed one side first, then the other, as our copier will not duplex automatically.
    The theory from our copier tech was that we would load the covers into the by-pass tray and those would pull (to be added to the content pages to be saddle stitched) once I sent the pages 3-18 (still in a single page format) from my mac to the new copier/printer. The software from my mac would "talk" to the software on the copier/printer and the copier/printer would know to impose, place my letter-sized pages into printer spreads. Made sense to me.
    When we attempted to do all of the above, options that I needed to select for making it into a booklet, saddle-stitched, etc. were grayed out. After countless suggestions (with no solutions ) from our copier tech., they quickly washed their hands of the situation and stated that it was not their product but an issue with our mac. End of story.
    We have 700 covers already pre-printed (containing pages 20 & 1, 2 & 19).  I need to know if there is anyone out there who might have had a similar issue when trying to create a saddle stitched book, designed in Indesign 1, printed in Indesign 4 on a copier/printer that supposedly can do such as mentioned??If so, i need and appreciate all help, feedback, suggestions, recommendations as soon as possible. This job must be ready by Monday, Nov. 16, 2009.
    Our only other option at this time is to set pages 3-18 up as printer spreads, print them on the 80# Futura Dull Text paper (will yield me 4 printer spreads) and pair those with the first printer spread (20 & 1 and 2 & 19), which will then be a total of 5 printer spreads and carry it to a local printer who will graciously collate, fold, and saddle stitch for only $85.
    Please help and many, many thanks for all who can assist! I certainly appreciate it!

    Daniel,
    Thank you SO MUCH for your options and quick reply to my post! I'm nearly at my wits end ... our Command Workstation is also loaded on the only PC in my department. When you said it could be printed using Acrobat, I guess you mean just the plain old, basic Adobe Acrobat that one would use to open PDFs in? I'll give that a try first. If I've misunderstood you, please don't be afraid to correct me .... again, thanks!

    Several options come to mind -
    The copier engine and RIP are in charge of the imposition and duplexing from your single page file and should be available from any program ie: Word, Open Office, Acrobat. Could you print a 8 page file from any other program and have the features available?
    Your support points the finger at the MAC drivers; do you have a PC in the facility to check the imposition and duplexing ability?
    The job could be printed from Acrobat as easily as from InDesign if drivers are to blame.
    Is the Sharp accesible/driven by a stand alone program ie: Command Workstation? You would be able to spool the page file and make the options from there.
    FYI, 2 things you can expect and should check with from your local printer about the booklet making - A decent shop will score the covers before the gather, stitch and fold yeilding a nicer crease (no cracking along the spine). (I'm assuming your 80# Futura Dull is a cover weight as opposed to text weight.) Also, you should be getting a face trim to eliminate the creep from the inside pages - a clean polished outer edge. You Sharp can do neither and it is your annual report.

  • Preview paper color

    Is it possible to specify the paper color the document will be printed on, and preview the effect of the paper color while working on the document, and/or before printing? (This would be essential for me before I can abandon InDesign)

    maya,
    No, this isn't possible in Pages. In fact, you can't technically change the background color in a Pages document, although some users get around this limitation by inserting a colored rectangle, then stretching it to fit the dimensions of the page.

  • JPEG, PNG, TGA, PDF changes hex color from PSD

    I work for a company where the CEO is very into brand colors. He has the hex values of all the branded colors memorized. One of the branded colors is blue ( hex: 0039a6 ). Obviously, if he looks at my psd and samples a the color, it will display 0039a6.
    However, whenever I save it out as a: jpg, tga, png, or pdf, the color's hex value will change to 1f419b. If he samples from one of those files, crisis! Wrong branded color!
    I've made 2 layers and filled with with both colors and as far as I can tell, they are exactly the same to the eye, even if they're overlapping. So I just want to know why this happens so I can explain myself if he ever runs over to my desk.
    Thanks!

    Oh right, this is happening with Photoshop and Illustrator, which is why is didn't post on an individual programs forums. I forgot to add that to my previous post. Do you recommend that I post in both the Photoshop and Illustrator sections?
    Edit: I did more tests. If I use the branded color 0039a6 in Illustrator and save it out as a png, tga, jpeg, pdf, and I then open one of those exported files in Photoshop, the hex value has changed.
    If I use the branded color in Photoshop, exporting a png keeps the color as the correct hex value. JPG doesn't, which makes sense due to compression. So now the question is, why are the files I'm exporting from Illustrator and opening in Photoshop showing different hex values. You would assume that the pngs should be okay from both Photoshop and Illustrator?

    It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.

    Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. After trashing many docs, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. I'd like to install Lion, but now I'm afraid it will slow down my machine even further. Do I have enough free hard disc space? Is Mail problem related to free hard disc space? Thanks for your help!

    7gb of free disc space is required to install Lion.  Read this about how to free up disc space: http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html.  Also, advice on how to speed up your mac: http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/25_ways_speed_your_mac

  • How do I copy a document from pages into email (not pdf) and have color and format the same as the document created in pages?

    How do I copy an entire document from pages into email (not pdf) and have color and format the same as the document created in pages?

    Pages ’09 v4.3 and Pages v5.2.2 are entirely different document architectures. Consequently, copying and pasting a table from Pages ’09 circumvents the customary translation process  that would occur if you opened that Pages ’09 document in Pages v5.
    Make a backup copy of the Pages ’09 document that has the table in it, and then open this document in Pages v5.2.2. The table is translated into Pages v5 document format and displayed correctly. You can even select this Pages v5.2.2 table, and then copy/paste it into another Pages v5.2.2 document with accurate results.

  • What is the corresponding DOM property to control the "Simulate Paper Color" option on Print dialog

    I want to simulate the following manual steps in script:
    Manual steps:
    1. File->Print->Color Management
    2. Click "Proof" radio button
    3. Uncheck "Simulate Paper Color"
    Script:
    2. app.documents[0].printPreferences.sourceSpace = SourceSpaces.PROOF_SPACE;
    3. ??? here I can't find the corresponding property or method to uncheck "Simulate Paper Color"

    I think I have figure out the corresponding property, it is PrinterPreset.intent
    Assigning PrinterPreset.intent to RenderingIntent.absoluteColorimetric equals to checking "Simulate Paper Color", assigning it to RenderingIntent.relativeColorimetric equals to unchecking the box.

  • Save for web as aninatwd gif, text does s keep true color

    Save for web as animated gif, text does not keep true color in Photoshop

    GIF is a limited format with only 256 colors. unsuitable colors will be quantized to the next available color or emulated using dithering. Everything else we cannot know, since you haven't provided proper information. Quite possible that you have color management issues...

  • Soft proofing using "Simulate paper color"

    Does anyone really understand exactly how this function is supposed to work? With the extreme move that occurs when Simulate" is clicked on, It seems virtually impossible to make corrections to the file that resemble the original look of the file. The idea is that the "Simulate" option shows you the image as the printer sees the image before he makes his corrections on press (by adding ink to the press run) and if we can compensate with a correction, that it will save the printer loads of time and save me tons of paper. by profiling the epson to a proofing paper and printing with that profile I get a exact rendition of my image. Why do you need "simulate paper color"?

    Most computer monitors are much brighter than any printed sheet. The Simulate Paper is doing an Absolute Colorimetric rendering through the paper profile to the screen, attempting to show you the real color of the paper, not the bright white of you monitor. If you monitor is extremely well calibrated and you have good custom profiles of your output paper - and controlled viewing conditions, all of this can work pretty darned well, but only if all those little ducks are actually in the same row. The biggest problem is that most paper profiles are not accurate enough to simulate the paper white, and the least bit of error is clearly seen with the naked eye.
    Typically when you have a paper that is not super white, the color and tone of the paper will have a gradual effect on colors from paper white into the midtones, dirtying up the lightest colors. Newsprint would be a common offender. If you're printing on #1 sheets the effect is very small if you notice it at all. Experience will tell you when you need to compensate. Trusting the Absolute Colorimetric rendering on Epson proofs will probably cause you more problems that you started with unless you've manually edited the Absolute Colorimetric rendering white point of the output profile, a trial and error process where the eyes are much more accurate than any spectrophotometer.
    Personally I almost never use it for offset unless it's newsprint or some other really crappy paper. I find it somewhat useful for inkjet canvas and fine art papers, but that's about it.

  • IOS7 Reminders app keeps changing color

    With the updated version of the Reminders app in iOS7, users now have the ability to set a color scheme for each list they have created.  However, the color of my default list keeps changing back to orange every time I either add a new task or mark a task as completed.  Regardless of how often I manually change the color option back to any other color (I'd prefer red for my default list), that particular list always reverts back to orange anytime the list is modified.  Although its not huge issue, its becoming increasingly frustrating that I cannot set the color of the Reminders list that I use all of the time. 
    Anyone else experiencing this issue and are there any solutions? 
    Thanks!

    Hello SofaKeenGrad,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the Reminders app will not keep the color you select for some reason.
    I have a few recommendations for you here:
    First I would start by closing all the running apps on the phone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    From: iOS: Force an app to close
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that, next I would restart your iPhone.
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists after that, I would try backing up your phone to iTunes, then restore your phone.
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Before you restore your phone from your backup, try setting it up as new, and verify the Reminders app works as expected. Then restore from your backup, and test the issue again.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How change paper color

    how can i change the paper color? i mean, how can i set the default back color for my pages?
    i sow in some template different paper color (ex blue with gradient effect...) but i'm not aable to modify it...
    thank's a lot.

    Hi,
    If I remember correctly, you can set a document's colour using the FONT INSPECTOR.
    1) Call up the Font Inspector
    2) Make sure the Effects are showing [shows a series of little shapes - allowing to change underline, font colour, font shadow, change document colour]
    3) If you hover over the 4th shape, it shows a pop-up saying it's for Document Colour]
    4) Select the 4th shape, to bring up a Colour thingy and choose the colour you want !!
    As far as I know, it changes the background for the WHOLE document - so it's maybe not the ideal thing if you want to change the colour for just a single page.
