Is it possible to create a .pdf with BOTH color and grayscale images?

Hello,
I am in the final phases of a book project (4 years in the making!) that has both grayscale and color graphics. When I save as a .pdf via the Adobe PDF printer driver and distill, I end up with a .pdf that only has color graphics despite the fact that some images were grayscale to begin with. I'd like the grayscale images to remain graysale in the pdf. Is that possible?
I am using older software framemaker 6.0 and acrobat & distiller 6.0 and am reluctant to change now, I will upgrade for a second edition, but not now.
Thanks.

Create the document in layers with the background on a seperate layer than the text. Export the PDF with"Create Acrobat Layers" selected (it will need to be at least version 1.5).
Open the PDF in Acrobat, choose the background layer then Options>Properties>Initial State and under "print" choose "Never prints".

Is it possible to create a PDF with different colors for screen and printing?

I'm working on a document that features light colored text on a dark background. I'll be sending this document as a PDF to someone who will likely want to print it. Is it possible to set up the document such that it will display this way when viewed on screen, but will print as black text on a white background, without requiring any special action on the part of the recipient?
Printing a color separation of just the text color produces exactly the results I'm after, but I can't ask the recipient to do that. I need it to happen automatically any time it's printed.
I've tried setting up a duplicate text layer in black and placing it under the background layer, then setting the background layer and colored text to 'never print'. This works within Acrobat Pro, but not when I print the same document from Preview.
Is there an acrobat equivalent of a CSS print stylesheet?
Thanks.

Convert rtf to pdf with good font and sharp images

I can convert rtf to pdf in Microsoft Word (2004) using the Print function but the resulting document doesn't maintain the same font and the images look a bit hinky as a result.
I tried to convert from rtf to pdf in Acrobat 9 but it sez unsupported file type.
I just want a really clean conversion that keeps the images sharp and the fonts looking good. Am I out of luck?

Export as PDF with embedded profiles for Grayscale images

Does InDesign CS6 export pages with Grayscale images as PDF with embedded profiles?
Possible profiles, for instance:
– Gamma 2.2
– Dot gain 20%
– Black Ink ISO Coated v2 (ECI)
Export mode:
– Acrobat 5 or higher
– No color conversion
– Embed all profiles
Test by Acrobat Pro
Advanced > Print production > Preflight > PDF analysis > List objects using ICC/Lab/Calibrated Color
[The question is not about the export of Color images as Grayscales]
Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

I wouldn't ever use different RGB profiles and different CMYK profiles and
different Gray profiles in one doc – it's just necessary for tests.
If you had a hypothetical case where your InDesign document's assigned CMYK profile and intended output was ISOcoated_v2_300_eci and you recieved grayscales for placement with different gray profiles assigned, I think you would have to make the conversion in Photoshop if you want the grayscales to be converted to your ISOcoated_v2_300_eci output intent space.
So in this case I have a grayscale image with Dot Gain 10% assigned and you can see the 50% patch is reading as 50% in Info panel:
If set my Working Gray space to the ISO Coated profile as above and do a Convert to Profile with the Destination set to Working Gray:
The preview doesn't change but I get converted gray values—50% is now 44%:
If I place the grayscale in an InDesign doc with ISOcoated_v2_300_eci assigned as the CMYK profile, the preview won't change (you have to turn on Overprint /Sep Preview), and the converted numbers will show in Separation Preview. The preview and numbers will also be unchanged in Acrobat if you export to default PDF/X-4

Srvrmgr syntax: how can I create Named Subsystem with both Name and Description values?

In looking through bookshelf, there is no syntax discussed that allows you to include both the Name value and the Description value for a Named Subsystem/Profile Configuration. In the screenshot, the circled values were created with the server manager command-line.
In contrast, you can create a component definition with a Name (full name) and Description.
For CompDef, this works:
create component definition CompDefTest1_enu for component type AppObjMgr component group Fins run mode Interactive full name "Test Comp Def Test 1" description "Test 1 Object Manager CompDef"
For Named Subsytem, this does NOT work:
create named subsystem Test5 for subsystem EAITransportDataHandlingSubsys full name "Test 5" description 'Test 5 Description'
Can anyone tell me if, for a Named Subsytem, there is a proper syntax to include both the Name and Description values in the command-line, or is the only way to manually create it in the UI?

Hi,
I have reviewed the help for create command in srvrmgr, it does not give the full name and description as parameters for subsystem creation. However, as you indicated these parameters are available for component definition creation:
srvrmgr> help create
create { component group | compgrp } <component group name>
       [ full name <descriptive name> ]
       [ { description | desc } <description of component group> ]
create { component definition | compdef } <component definition name>
       for { component type | comptype } <component type name>
           { component group | compgrp } <component group name>
       run mode { batch | interactive | background }
       [ full name <descriptive name> ]
       [ { description | desc } <description of component definition> ]
       [ with [param <param_name>=<value>[, <param_name>=<value>...]]
              [fixparam <fixed_param_name>=<fixed_value>[,...]]]
create named subsystem <named_subsystem_name> for
       subsystem <subsystem_name> with <param_name>=<param_value> [, ..]
Bookshelf also has an example of subsystem creation that does not include full name and description:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14004_01/books/StoreFwdMsg/StoreFwdMsg_InstallConfig14.html#wp1351472
In this case I suggest you to create a ticket on My Oracle Support to confirm that srvrmgr does not support creating a new subsystem with full name and description parameters, and request an enhancement request for these parameters to be included in create statement for new subsystems when using srvrmgr.
Hope it helps,
WSiebel

Creating album page with both video and pics

recently switched from pc to mac. was using blogger and coppermine for online photo album but want to give this iweb thing a try... is there a way in iweb to create a page that has both video and pics? i tried uploading my album but it only transferred the pics.

thanks for the feedback... let's say i decide to
stick with the photo template and make thumbnail pics
of my video to add in - can i put in a hyperlink
(either using the title or the pic itself) to the
video? basically, my concern is to keep all related
material of an album together in one spot.
Yes, you can do this. Just throw in the thumbnail pics of your video with the rest of your photos. Then put your real videos on separate movie pages. Then back to your photo page...you need to make the hyperlinks. So what you need to do is to create little rectangle shapes that fit over the video thumbnails, attach hyperlinks to the respective movie pages, then using the Inspector Graphics tab make the rectangle shapes 1% opacity so that the underlying thumbnail shows through. This is the overlay trick to get the hyperlink working.
Good luck!

InDesign: Creating interactive PDFs with Page Turn and Flash animations | CSInsider | Design | Adobe TV

This episode gives an answer to a question Rufus hears very frequently: "Can I have page turns and animations created in Adobe InDesign in a PDF?" - The answer is yes. Find out how.
http://adobe.ly/wmHCbl

Not an expert, but would think you still get 508 compliance by the normal PDF reader controls -- the page curls are visual extras only.
I understand these 'techniques' perfectly -- but they sure seem awkward.
- why doesn't InDesign properly emit the combination page turner PDF in one step?
- why doesnt InDesign show the actual background of the embedded Flash animation as it will be, and why doesn't it allow you to set background transparency right there in InDesign, again showing you what the result will be?
I hope this is done in such a straightforward and clear way, in InDesign CS6.

Is it possible to output multichannel audio with both stereo and mono channels?

For example, track 1 is mono, track 2 is mono, but tracks 3&4 are stereo.
This is possible in FCP7, but I can't seem to find a way to do it in premiere.

Premiere does not currently support this and is an open feature request.

Creating a PDF with automatic page turn after playing a movie

Is there anyway to create a pdf where pages get turned automatically after a movie has been played? Simply put, I need to create a slideshow with both movies and images, and with an automatic page turn every x seconds the movies might be either too short or too long.
Any help will be greatly apreciated!
best, Jacob

Did you ever figure this out? I would love to know.

Creating interactive PDFs with page turn,issue with PDF

I recently watch a video on adobe tv titled "indesign : creating interactive PDFs with page turn and flash animation". The video was great,simple to follow with great results, I was able to create a document with interactive page turns that was viewable in a web browser,the next step was to then create the same document but be able to view it in PDF format. I followed the above mentioned video and everything worked apart from one issue once I exported the indesign file out as an interactive PDF it opened up in adobe acrobat pro with no problem but when I went to turn the page it would lag and slow down to the point were it was almost impossible to turn the page, the page turning didn't seem to flow as well as when viewing it in a web browser. The document I am creating is a catalogue and I am happy with the interactive version for the web but I am looking at putting the catalogue on a CD/ USB and need it to open and work with PDF, it would be a great help if anyone could advise me on the reason why the interactive page turning runs so poor in PDF format. I am currently running on a very powerful computer with the adobe CS5 master suit.
Any help would be much appreciated

The page flipping is an SWF effect, so essentially you now have an entire SWF embedded inside a PDF.
If you forget about this garish effect (which, I can guarantee you, by next year will be "so 2012") you can send out a standard PDF which can be easily viewed on otherwise sub-standard computers, and using very straightforward PDF readers, such as the ones currently available for the iPad and its clones.

Form report with both edit and column link

hi experts,
How can we create form report with both edit and column link. Ie, the form should have both the Edit link and column link. When we click on the edit link(in page1) it should go for the page2 and the page2 should display the corresponding row fields which should be editable. but when i click the column link it should bring me to the next page but the corresponding values of the column should not be editable.
Regars,
KK

hi,
Here i have achieved this by making the column link and page navigation.

Creating a .pdf with different page views

I'm tyring to create a .pdf with different page views. For example as the viewer goes through the .pdf some pages I would like viewed as "single page view" and others "two page view". Is this possible? I'm working with Adobe Acrobate Pro. Thanks for any suggestions.

It's possible to use the Page Open actions to trigger a view mode change but it's messy - if the user tries to override them because they prefer to zoom in, etc. then they'll get very annoyed when things keep resetting.
To create a Page Open action, open the thumbnails panel, right-click on a page, choose Page Properties, then the Actions tab. You can use the Execute a Menu Item tool to fire one of the view modes.

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line? I can't find anything in the documentation or a template that does this.
I am trying to create a "documents received" checklist with a check box on the left margin, a date-received field to the right of the check box and and a description of the document (Formatted Text) on the far right.
In the past I have entered the Fixed Text with a word processor, published it to a PDF file, then added the check box and date fields with the Acrobat Forms editor. I would prefer to use FormsCentral if it is possible.

We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
Give it a try and send us your feedback.
Sorry it took so long.
