Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What player are you referring to? Once a DVD is burned it's a read only disk and can't be changed in any way. If you're referring to the optical drive in your computer, try the disk in a set top DVD player and see if it can be read correctly.
Instead of burning to disk use the File->Save as Disk Image menu option first. You can then open that disk image and use DVD player to confirm that the encoding went correctly, there's no typos in the menus, etc., before committing to disk. Once you're satisfied with the project's encoding use Disk Utility to burn that disk image to a DVD disk. Burn at the slowest speed available to help insure a good burn.

72dpi in pdf iphoto book preview

Hi,
I'm planning to have my first iphoto book printed by apple. BUT, as described here on the forum before, it is wise to first check the .pdf preview.
I made an right-click --> save book as pdf... preview.
When I take a look at the specs of the preview I get worried:
11 x 8,5 inch
792 x 612 px
This means it is just 72 dpi!
The source photo's are big and high in resolution (3307 x 2539 jpg 300 dpi 24 bit)
Will the pdf file that will be send to apple be 72 dpi also? Cause that is an unacceptable resolution for printing.
Can someone please advise?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where are you seeing this spec and how did you create the preview: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing a book order in iPhoto or Aperture?
The figure you posted is not px but pts which is points. If you change it to inches via the drop down menu you'll find that it is 8.5 x 11 inches.
iPhoto creates PDF files for uploading and printing that are at 300 dpi.

All pics loaded onto iphoto or preview show up but won't let me edit. Thanks, Woody

Hey everyone,
Pics loaded into iphoto or preview show up in the programs and my desktp, but won't let me edit.
Thanks, Woody

How are you trying to edit?
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Bridge CC is not showing previews for PSD, PDF, AI

I am unable to see previews of these in Bridge CC. It doesn't seem to be hanging or busy regenerating previews, just won't show them. Double clicking opens the in relevant program. Using Windows 7 Pro and 64-bit version.

Welcome to the forum,
Not sure if it's the issue or if it will help, but you could try purging the cache, etc..
http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/adobe-bridge-workspace.html
Restore preferences
Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.
In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:
Reset Preferences
Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
Reset Standard Workspaces
Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.
If that does not help, you may try searching the Bridge forum or asking there.

IPhoto Book - Preview Issue ?

I am getting ready to order a iphoto book. I preview it in a .pdf file and have saved it as a .pdf. Everything looks great BUT, for some reason there is a white page (the book is all black background) with the text from the title page on it ? Will this show up on the final print ? I have no idea if i need to remove it or call Apple maybe ???? Help

That text against the white background is just for printing the book title on the cover. If, while viewing the book in iPhoto, type Command+P and select the PDF ➙Save as PDF option you'll get a pdf showing just the pages and not the jacket spread out, etc. You'll see what each page including cover and inside cover front and back will look like.
The pdf created by the Preview method includes each component needed for printing by Apple, i.e. the jacket, inside and out and the pages.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Sharing iphoto projects online?

Hi,
I'm using a Mac OSX, version 10.6.8 and iphoto '11, version 9.2.3.
I made an invitation card using iphoto. I already ordered hardcopies from the apple store, but I wanted to send some online. I was wondering if there was anyway I could email/share a project with certain people online? I see there is a "facebook" option under share, but I don't want to send my invitation to all my friends on facebook, just to certain people.

Before ordering your project preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered project will match it.
You can email this preview PDF

PDF shows in safari 5.1, text is blurred out.

Hi all,
I've been having the problem of safari not showing pdf's, this is partially solved now. But since I've followed the steps on another thread here,
I can see the pictures in a pdf, but not the text. The text seems to be blurred out as shown in the picture below :
Another awkward issue is that when I open the same pdf in Google Chrome, de pdf shows normally, but when I try to open the pdf from chrome in preview, the same blurred text appears.
Any solutions?

Did the person that made the PDF use Word for Windows to make the PDF?* It's now possible to make PDFs directly from Word with File > Save As but one of the default options, "Bitmap text when fonts may not be embedded", makes the text (by now a graphic) unreadable in Preview or the built-in Safari view. I don't know if this is Microsoft's fault for making the bitmaps in a strange way, or Apple's fault for having a bug in Preview.
* You could always find out by opening the PDF in Preview and doing Tools > Show Inspector

Iphoto 09 8.1.2 stopped showing photos in full screen

I have the above-mentioned version on both my MAC and my MACBookPro. I have never had a problem with either. Suddenly, the version on my MACBookPro (which is using OS X 10.6.8) stopped showing my pics in the full screen mode. All I get, when double clicking a thumbnail, all of which show up great, is a black screen. I can see the thumbnails above the black screen, and I can even play the pics in a slide-show.
I have tried everything from rebuilding the library to creating a new library, to completely deleting both IPhoto Application and Library, going to my MAC, copying that version of IPhoto and it's library onto a disc and loading that onto my Pro. NOTHING WORKS! I have tried everything I've seen on the web, You-Tube, and of course the Apple Support, which is usually the worst of the lot in terms of supplying information. I have searched Google to no avail. Apple seems to all but have foresaken this version, in favor of it's new ILife program, IPhoto 11, which I see is also having major difficulties.
Is there no one out there who has the slightest idea why this program, only on my Pro, is doing this? I just looked at my pics again on my MAC and that sucker is working like a charm. I don't even see a good IPhoto alternative out there to download.
HELP!

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Export Book to PDF shows bad colours

Hi all,
I have created a book in Aperture, starting from a set of RAW/TIFF pictures.
If I preview/export the book in PDF, it looks VERY BAD in the dark areas (posterized to very few RGB tones).
The problem appears ONLY when I use the "Save as PDF" option from the "Print Book" menu, or I make a preview before placing the order.
What I tested so far:
- If I export from Aperture each single image to PDF (or tiff/jpg), the problem does not occur!
- The images look perfect also if I open them from other apps, like photoshop/iPhoto/preview.
- I created a test book with the images from iPhoto and there the exported PDF book looks fine.
- I installed Aperture on a different computer (a mac mini recently reinstalled), and the problem is still there.
Please consider that:
1. my monitor (iMac 24") is hardware calibrated
2. the source pictures are in RAW (no color profile on them) and (just a couple) in TIFF (16bit, Adobe RGB). I also tried reimporting in the album jpg converted versions, with no better results.
3. OS and Aperture are updated to the latest versions.
I would exclude a problem of the source images (because Aperture/iPhoto can export them properly to PDF)
It looks to me like a problem of the PDF rendering engine when used for exporting Aperture books.
Anyone had ever experienced something similar?
Any advice?
If you want to check with your eyes, I uploaded a few screenshots here:

Thanks in advance!

ps. I've posted this message also on the other Aperture's discussion group, please apologize for the repetition.

It seems the same my problem:

PDF showing white in PS CS5

I am opening a PDF in Photoshop CS5 for a quick cut-and-paste job into another file, and whenever I open it, the entire image turns white as if there is an overprint on. I've never had this problem before I upgraded to CS5. Since PS opens PDFs as flattened images, is there a setting somewhere that I can change in order to ignore or include the overprint layer when opening PDFs?
I open it in Illustrator and it opens all white and I can change the overprint preview easily enough to show everything.
Unfortunately, the customer won't let me share the PDF with anyone outside of our organization, so I apologize for not showing any images.
Thanks,
Chris

White set to overprint?
And stop using EPS...it's an archaic file format. Use native AI or PDF from Illustrator for best results.

Can't Print Book from iPhoto or Preview, but Can Print from Adobe Accrobat

I have spent 2.5 hours on the phone with HP, an am now unsure if the problem is with HP or Apple.
When I try to print a single page from an iPhoto Book (or a group of pages), I receive an error message on the HP 4650 printer (49.4C02). I saved the book as a PDF and tried to print from Preview with the same results. I then opened the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat and WAS able to print. I am able to print individual photos from iPhoto.
I searched this discussion board for problems printing to the HP 4650. One suggestion was to use the driver for the HP 4600. I tired that and it produced the same error on the printer.
Using Adobe Acrobat is a viable work-a-round, but I am curious why I cannot print a book from iPhoto. Any thoughts as to why Adobe Acrobat works and iPhoto and Preview do not?
Thanks,
-Dale

HP has _ a firmware release that addresses this error _ - have you installed it?

Clearscan Errors in Preview and other pdf viewers

I scan a lot of documents and have started using the ClearScan OCR option. This produces very good quality scans and very small file sizes, but I've been running into problems when I try to read my pdfs in Preview or other pdf readers. If I open a ClearScanned pdf in Preview and try to copy and paste some of the text, it pastes just fine. If I save the pdf in Preview, however, and then try to copy and paste text, the result is something like this: "␣␣␣␣␣ ␣␣␣". The PDF still looks fine, it doesn't change its visual appearance, but the OCR is no longer correct. This is a big problem because I use several other pdf readers to read and annotate my PDFs, and any time I save a ClearScanned PDF I lose the functionality of scanned text (since I can no longer copy and paste or even search the PDF since all the letters have been replaced with "␣"). Has anyone else had any problems with ClearScan? Is ClearScan only compatible with Adobe, or is there any way to save a ClearScanned PDF so that it will work correctly with other PDF viewers? Thank you!

I have not tried it, but I've seen posted in another thread that one of the Preflight options in AA9 allows you to embedd the fonts created by the ClearScan process. This might fix your problem. You just have to figure out how to use Preflight!
I just tried this - it's the "Embed fonts" option under the PDF fixups category. I can't tell if it will do what you need though, as I don't use Preview or any other PDF viewer. It did seem to embed fonts that were previously not embedded, though (a) they still didn't show up in the PDF Optimizer dialog, only in the document properties dialog, and (b) it seems like the ClearScan were embedded in the first place, even before I ran this Preflight.

Can only download preview of some pdfs on iPad / iPhone

Hello,
I have a strange problem with some pdf download links on my iPad and iPhone
and hope that somebody here has gone through that before and give me a hint.
Problem description:
I have a problem when I try to dowload a pdf. If the pdf is linked with a normal
http-link, I have no problem opening it, it is shown in an extra tab in safari and
I can save it in iBooks. So far so good.
But: If the dowload is initiated with a command-button, then I only see a 1-page
preview of the pdf as an image. The image shows the first page of the pdf correctly
but I can find no way to download or save the complete pdf. If I save the preview
as an image, I see no content in this image afterwards, just a small text saying
"pdf".
What I can do, is download this pdf with Safari on OS X 10.10 and on Windows
with any Internet Browser. Android is also no problem.
So I did a lot of research and testing:
- I googled a lot and followed all related instrunctions I could find: no success.
- I saved the pdf on my Mac, mailed it to myself and opened it on the iPhone or iPad.
No problem to view the pdf, it just wouldn't download.
- So I enabled and disabled restrictions on all devices, with no success. I also added
the website to the trusted websites when enabling restrictions, no success.
- I fiddled around with all safari-options, enabled and disabled cookies, switched
between "open in background"/"open in new tab" and tested all other options,
even those who shouldn't have any influence on this problem. No success.
- Next I installed other apps capable of viewing PDFs since I thought them registering
as PDF-viewers could change this behavior. Again no success. (I tested Acrobat
Reader and Amazon Kindle)
- After that I installed Google Chrome: Only a slight change happend, now I saw
one and a half pages (instead of one) of the pdf as a preview.
- Next I updated my iPhone 5 from iOS7 to iOS8.1.: No success.
- I was so desperate after that, that I even resetted my iPhone to factory-defaults,
completly erasing all content and settings. Again no success.
- After that I was running out of ideas.
Technical background:
- The pdf I'm trying to download contains confidental content so I unfortunately
cannot provide a link to it. But I know it's a dynamically created pdf, hence the
command-button instead of a normal link.
- The pdf contains no forms and other fancy stuff, just plain (ok, formatted) text
and some small icons.
- I can easily download and view other (static) pdfs from the same website.
- I have this problem on my iPhone 5 with iOS7 (latest version and iOS8.1 and
on my iPad2 with iOS7 (latest version).
- It works well on my MacBook with OS X 10.10. and on Windows and Android.
- I can view the pdf on iOS if I send it via Mail and open it locally, I just can't download it.
- I think while searching for a solution I found a document saying something about
possible problems on iOS when providing download-links within html frames.
Unfortunately I could't find this document again but I checked and the download-
button indeed is embedded in a html frame (for what it's worth).
Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Wolfram

It looks as if your server does not support 'byte-range requests'. This facility is necessary for iOS devices (it involves calling for part of a file at a time rather than the whole file) so you will need to take this up with the people running your server. Note that this applies to the media files, not the feed.

2 color PDF shows 4 color in Acrobat

We have been using 2/c file for Indesign CS2 document (Magenta & Black). However we were able to findout, select the Output Preview menu in Acrobat and turned off Magenta and Black it shows the rest of the color. InDesign shows by using Seperation Preview menu.
Now we have almost 30 chapters for this title. I'd like to know is their any option to check these PDFs after generated from InDesign at Batch mode or Watch folder mode. I tried using the Preflight option in Acrobat "Document generates more than two plates" but it indicates the document has 4/c.
It shows the "Indexed color" and "Black" when we checking the "Images" and "Color spaces" under the Overview in Preflight menu after executed the profile. For 2/c title we can ignore the Indexed color (2 color combination). But it doesn't show how much percentage has been used for CMYK. I have attached the pdf file for your reference.
Pitstop doesn't show the document has more than two plates.
JohnArul

It's a bit hard to work out what is happening here, but it sounds like you might be getting confused by the fact that the Output Preview in Acrobat always shows CMYK, whether it's greyscale, RGB or only one of the process colours. If you want to try automating it ask on the Acrobat forum, but Pitstop is probably your best bet here.
If you have an Indesign document with only black and Magenta swatches and you don't place anything or use the registration swatch you will never output PDFs that will print anything but these two swatches.

Button hyperlinks work in project preview but not in published .swf

Captivate 6, button hyperlinks work in project preview but not in published .swf, the cursor changes the “the hand” but the hyperlink does not redirect.
Any ideas?
Like I said my buttons work great in preview mode after publishing, one click and the PDF opens in a new browser window. Open the project through the published .swf files and the links will not work.
Using Captivate 6 on WIndows 7

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Once your project published, add the .swf file in Flash Global Setting :
1) Right Click on the content (Published .swf file) and click on Global Settings
2) Go to Advanced Tab and Click on Trusted Location Settings (Scrool down to see this button)
3) Click on "Add" button and then "Add file", browse for the Captivate 6 published file and click on OK
4) Launch the .htm file again (Location where Captivate publish your project)
Hope this helps !!
Thanks,
Vikram
