Okay to convert to profile only at the end when generating PDF?

My final color profile has to be iso coated v2 for Europe. This means that most if not all of my placed images have to be converted either from RGB or SWOP CMYK. I've been reading about this issue in this forum but am not sure I got it right.
As I understand it, it's perfectly okay to let InDesign do the conversion at the end when I'm generating the final PDF (Convert to Destination). I used to go through the laborious process of converting each image from rgb or other cmyk to the iso coated cmyk. Then select Convert to Destination again in the pdf process.
Is there a difference -- other than tons of additional work -- b/w doing it one way or another? To be sure, I also want to maintain the original color tones as much as possible in the process.
I'd be grateful if someone could confirm this for me. I'm about to send a huge job off to the printers.
Many thanks,
Scarlett

The default option seems to be: Use color settings intent. I have no idea what this means. The other options are: perceptual, sauration, relative colometric, absolute colometric.
I usually use the Relative Colometric in Photoshop, as recommended by the press we use in Europe. Would it be safe to select this option for the 3 settings above?
If you leave it at the default, the rendering intent you have currently set under Color Settings>Conversion Options will be used.
The rendering intent handles how colors that are out of the CMYK gamut are brought into gamut. It's like trying to put 1.5 gallons of water into a 1 gallon bucket something has to spill—the intent is your preference as to what spills. Search for rendering intent in IDs help for an explanation of the 4 intents.
I doubt the intents really come into play when you are converting CMYK to CMYK—not much would be out-of gamut. I would leave everything at Relative.

  • Blank Page at the end of generated PDF Document

    Hi,
    my problem is that ADS is generating a blank page at the end of my report.
    I fill the ADS with a template and an XML stream.
    The XML stream contains multiple orders. Each order has several detail data. It is a requirement that every order object has to appear at a new page.
    XML structure:
    - Order
    -- Group1
    --- fields of Group1
    -- Group2
    --- Fields of Group2
    My template looks like this:
    - body page subform: Order  (Default binding: $record.Order[*]; Repeat Subform for Each Data Item: yes; After: Go To Next Page)
    -- subform1
    --- fields of subform1
    -- subform2
    --- fields of subform2
    Because of the "Go To Next Page" at the Order subform a new page is rendered each time an order ends. This leads to the blank page after the last order is processed.
    Does anyone know how I can suppress the blank page at the end of the document?

  • I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in safari

    Hi. I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in Safari. Also in old version of Safari, and in old System. In some windows, i can save the document, only now i can see this, open from pdf reader. Thank for some info.

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
    If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

    It is most likely that the various files contain CODEC's, that are either not installed on your computer, or PrE is not able to use them.
    You list several file types, and I would urge you to first see this FAQ Entry, then get one of the file info utilities, linked in it, G-Spot, MediaInfo, or MediaInspector, then post the details on the various CODEC's: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
    Also, that WMP cannot play the video indicates the likelihood of a CODEC issue.
    Try either of the great, free media players, VLC Player, or MediaPlayer Classic HC. Both contain many useful CODEC's, but they do NOT install them into the OS.
    Good luck, and with the CODEC info, someone can give your recommendations.

  • Convert to lesser plan after the end of Dec. deadline.

    We have CS cc ($19.99 monthly) due to children in school. Once they graduate (June 2014) they will not need access however I would like to at least have PS&LR cc for my usage. Can I get both for the $9.99 monthly rate at that time or do I need to have both plans overlap and have the $19.99 drop off after they've used it for the entire year?

  • What is the sequence when a PDF is generated?

    I'd like to know the sequence of events when a PDF is generated from InDesign CS4 using the Adobe PDF 7.0 printer. Postscript is somehow involved before the PDF is generated and I'd like to have a better understanding of what is going on.
    Acrobat's Help states:
    In an authoring application such as Adobe InDesign, use the Print command with the Adobe PDF printer to convert your file to Adobe PDF. Your source document is converted to PostScript and fed directly to Distiller for conversion to PDF, without manually starting Distiller. The current Distiller preference settings and Adobe PDF settings are used to convert the file.
    This is the tricky one, at least for me, because the explanation is confusing. My difficulty is this: under InDesign > File > Print > Printer I have a file called Adobe PDF 7.0 (as well as my normal printers), and I'm not sure which "Adobe PDF settings" are being referred to.
    QUES 1
    The phrase from Help:
    The current Distiller preference settings and Adobe PDF settings are used to convert the file
    is that referring to Distiller > Preferences, and Distiller > Adobe PDF Settings (the main Distiller window)?
    QUES 2
    When I select the Adobe PDF 7.0 printer and press Print, does InDesign generate the Postscript all by itself, or does it ask for help from Acrobat or Distiller?
    QUES 3
    At some stage before I get the PDF, a Postscript file comes into existence, and this is "fed directly to Distiller for conversion to PDF". At this stage, does the Postscript file only carry all the options that I requested in the InDesign Print dialog box (Output, Graphics, Transparency, Advanced and so on)? Or has there been some back-and-forth discussion between Distiller (and it's settings) and InDesign (and its print settings) to sort out any conflicts?
    In summary, is it correct to say that InDesign generates the Postscript all by itself (subject to its print settings), then Distiller takes the Postscript from InDesign and converts it to PDF (subject to its own settings).

    Peter's right -- even I need a map to navigate this project. But anyone else trying to follow it would need a map and a GPS -- or my PDF. For future reference, I will be generating a detailed PDF on the process of getting from InDesign to iGen print, covering all the issues raised in my various posts, plus likely costs, and other aspects of the process. And that's quite a stack of info. I'll make the document freely available via this forum, and I'm hoping that Peter (anyone else?) is going to offer to check it for technical accuracy.
    It's a bit worrying to hear from Harbs that maybe I should have printed to PDF. I've just generated PDFs for the smaller 4 books by exporting and using Quite Imposing to impose. They've given me a one-month license, and I must say QI works beautifully, generating an imposed 32-page signature in 10-20 seconds. Transparency has been retained, the images are unsliced, and the PDFs are a joy to look at. And so they should be after 3 years in the making. But will they print correctly on the iGen?
    I've left the 800-page monstrosity till last, and maybe I will use the Adobe PDF 7.0 printer for that one, and impose with Print Booklet. But maybe I won't have to change the process. I have just sent the printer an 6-page test print (20 MB), which I hope will cover all the transparency issues, and I'm hoping there are no printing problems. It can be downloaded from:
    http://www.mediafire.com/?mwxxdhdnnow
    If anyone would like to comment on whether I have covered all the issues that might arise, I would be most appreciative.
    Let me summarise (correct me if I'm wrong):
    1. When generating a PDF to print from, there are different considerations than when generating a PDF to look at (I didn't realize that). When printing for example, slicing of images is not important (assuming they will print correctly), but it could be an issue in a "looked at" PDF because someone might want to copy images from the PDF. And that's not much chop if they're in five sections.
    2. Exporting to PDF: retains layers, transparency, and "whole" images. There may be an issue with transparency, but if text is on the top layer, transparency should not be an issue -- supposedly. The problem is: when you impose a PDF using third-party software (such as Quite Imposing), or when you move/delete/add pages using Acrobat, layers are lost anyway. So, if having layers in a PDF minimizes transparency issues, the benefit is lost when you shuffle pages around. So maybe, as per Harbs comment, printing to PDF is the better solution.
    3. Printing to PDF: using Adobe PDF 7.0 (or a later version) and imposing using Print Booklet has the advantage that there will be no transparency issues, because everything is flattened; and with the flattening comes correct printing -- except that images may be sliced and that could become an issue.
    So it appears to me it comes down to this: is there any quality difference between printing and exporting to PDF? If there is no discernible difference, and if the document contains overlapping transparent areas:
    • Print to PDF when the PDF is to be imposed and printed;
    • Export to PDF when the PDF is to be "looked at" only.
