Pages Botches Colour after Export

Hi,
The master copy looks fine, but when I PDF my document and view it on another computer, a few of my box background change from white to dark grey. I've triple checked, and they're set to white. This only occurs on three pages, and other boxes (identical)appear with the correct background.
When viewing the PDF on my iMac, it looks like it should. But I sent the document to other Macs and PCs, and the colour error is there.

I checked that, but everything seemed ok.
I solved it by copying and pasting another box which didn't have the problem. However, the error then shifted to another box that previously didn't have it.... very strange! I hadn't done any editing - it literally shifted on its own accord.
Hopefully cutting and pasting another box will solve the problem, but this is definitely a bug!

  • Massive Loss Of Quality After Exporting

    Hi guys.
    Apologies if this has been covered before, but I didn't feel like looking through pages and pages of threads.
    I'm shooting on a Sony HDR-FX1E @1080i, and editing in Final Cut Express HD.
    I'm capturing using the "Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i50"
    I'm in a PAL country, therefore shooting in PAL.
    Now, when my image is in the editor. It looks sharp, and the colours are great. However, then I export using these settings: Quicktime Conversion - Then as Quicktime movie, using the H.264 codec, and restricting to 6500kbp/s (the size that the website i'm uploading to reccomends) then at 1920x1080 HD.
    Then when I watch the video back, the quality and colours are severely lacking.
    Could someone please tell me where I'm going wrong.
    (see picture in Link for comparison. Image on right is in the editor, and image on the left is after exporting.)
    http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4094/49109848704d83f35e0eb.jpg

    Okay, so I've looked through the first 10 pages. I've still got another 1,500 to look through.
    It probably would have been just as quick and ten times more helpful to reply with what I have to do, rather than a sarcastic, witty comment.
    Could anyone else recommend me a forum or somewhere where I can find the information I need?
    Thanks.

  • Hyperion IR 9.3.1 - Issue in printing the report after exporting it to pdf

    Hi All,
    I am facing a problem in printing the report after exporting it to pdf format using Hyperion Interactive Reporting 9.3.1. I have set page size of report section to 11X17 inch landscape. Now I am exporting this report section to pdf. Report gets exported to pdf with size 11X17 inch landsacpe. But when I am trying to print this pdf it is shrinking the documnet size to A4 size paper and printing it rather it should print it on 11X17 inch paper size. Please suggest if there is fix available for this issue.
    Thanks
    Ujjawal

    "File > Print Setup > Paper > Size" on PDF.
    I think this issue is only to do with the printer and not IR.
    I think the question now is "Can your printer print 11X17 pages or not".

  • Pages 5.2 PDF Exporting Issues

    Ever since I upgraded to OS X and Pages 5.2, the system will no longer allow me to export a Pages doc to PDF into certain folders. I keep getting a message that says "The document "xyz name of doc" could not be exported as "xyz name of doc". I have tried changing the name of the document but that doesn't help. The only thing I have found that works is if I change the destination folder...and them after exporting it to PDF I am able to move it into the folder I originally wanted to put it in. I have tried cleaning up the original destination folder and removing old docs thinking it is a spacing limitation but that didn't help. Any one else having this issue or have any suggestions on how to fix this?
    There is also now a limit to the # of characters that I can save the document as in certain folders. But again this only applies to certain folders so this sounds like something I should be able to change the parameters but I cannot find where to do that. Any suggestions?

    Actually I can still save it as PDF, without converting to Pages '09. It just won't let me save it in the folder I want to save it in...which is a subfolder. But if I save it in the main "Documents" folder, that works just fine. Then it will allow me to move it to the folder I originally wanted it in the first place.
    The issue is this wastes time AND I've been getting error messages stating the filename cannot be longer than 31 characters even when it is not at or over 31 characters. So this leads me to believe that there is a problem w/ the updated version of Pages NOT my computer.

  • Indesign CS4 button flashes after exported to PDF and viewed in Acrobat Reader/Professional X

    Hey everyone,
    Greetings!
    I've encountered this odd problem when preparing my portfolio.
    I've created some 40 buttons in InDesign CS4 (all according to the official tutorial) to Show/Hide Fields (specificly images), and navigate through the pages.
    The buttons all have their own Normal and Rollover states, but no Click states.
    After exporting the file to PDF, I tested the buttons in Acrobat Reader 9 and Acrobat Pro 9, and both the actions and the states worked fine.
    BUT that's not the case with Acrobat Reader X or Acrobat Pro X.
    The actions are still there, showing the images and navigating, but the states are not!
    The buttons' rollover states just flashes when the mouse hover above them, and even in Normal state, they kept *blinking* randomly.
    Frustrated for a week.
    PS. I suspected and used a Indesign file with only one simple button to rule out the following:
    1. Overlapping buttons
    2. Slow processing due to large image size
    3. Mishandling of transparency
    At this moment I'm pretty sure it's an Acrobat thing...Help!

    Thanks Dave! I was in the middle of writing this when your post came in:
    Not sure if this will help anyone, but I changed the button fill color to white and it seemed to fix the flicker. I exported each state from indesign as a PDF and recreated the button from scratch. This still had the flicker. I'm guessing something strange is happening with the transparancy of the states.
    Glad to hear it's fixed!

  • Problem with psychedelic colours after encoding in iDVD6

    I'm working on a long project in iDVD6 that just fits on a dual-layer disc. Everything is ok except for one particular movie. This clip starts out in mostly a greyscale colour scheme then dissolves to full colour after a few minutes. In the project, this plays fine.
    I encode to a disc image and no errors are reported. On a dual g5, this takes about 10 hours to encode.
    When I mount the image and check it, this colour problem arises. After the grey sequence, the colour sequence looks like random colour garbage. Very psychedelic but not the look I need for this project.
    I tried deleting the encoded assets, re-exporting the movie file in question a couple times, and also sneaking some colour information into the greyscale opening sequence via a single line of colour pixels across the top of the 640x480 frame.
    I will try exporting the movie from my editor with another codec. Any other suggestions for fixing my LSD video problem?
    Thanks,
    Jaeson

    Hi
    Was just a shoot in the dark. I try to have > 25Gb free. So You are well up to it.
    No clever ideas - sorry.
    Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
    Many possible origins. Most common:
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK
    • Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4 - is OK
    iMovie pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    Yours Bengt W

  • My iBook crashes when previewed or after exporting it and sync

    Hello,
    I designed a photography iBook, and added 2 gallery widgets of 20 pics each. My iBook crashes when previewed on my iPad 3 or after exporting it and syncing it to the iPad. It happens after viewing the book and interacting with it.
    I have seen that the gallery widgets behave a bit sloppily when you swipe to the next pic, also the second row of thumbails (pics 11 to 20) don't show properly, some thumbails just don't appear.
    What can I do? delete the widgets and start again? Is the iBook crashing because of them?  Any user having this problem in the past months?
    Thank you!

    I did it, removed both, started from 0 again. Same problem, thumbails dont show for items 11 to 20. The widget in general works a bit sloppily always, no matter amount of items.
    i tried to make images smaller in resolution, same problem.
    only solution: never have more than 10 items per gallery, and split 20 photos in 2 different galleries in 2 pages.

  • Photo quality change after exporting

    Hello
    I'm working on a short film project that should be made from photos not videos (so photos are critical in this iMovie project), but after exporting the movie ( in HD) I found out that the photos' quality were reduced?
    Most of the photos are darky, with dark backgrounds, they look good enough in iMovie but after exporting they look lighted up, which ruins my movie.
    What should I do??
    Thanks in advance

    That is odd, I have not been aware of any drop in camera quality via an update with this model. With this being the case I would advise running the update again and choosing the "Repair" option.

  • PDFs dull in Acrobat after exporting from Indesign - again

    Hi folks,
    I am aware of a previous post which discussed this issue which was apparently resolved, but it appears to have reared its ugly head again. The problem - since updrading to Mavericks and the Creative Cloud, pdfs in Acrobat are very dull after export from Indesign and it is not a transparency blend or Indesign issue. I understand Adobe blamed Apple for not updating their colour management software and the reply from Adobe was:
    "We have found the root cause of this issue and are in process of providing a fix. Once this is done, we will test it to make sure that it works as expected and will release an update patch for all our users."
    I am running the latest version or everything but it appears to still be a problem. I have also uninstalled Acobat XI and tried earlier versions without success. I have a print job to send off tomorrow and I am very nervous about how this will print.

    Sorry about that, I apparently forgot to attach the file; have done so now.
    The method I'm using for creating outlines is simply to use the "Create Outlines" command under the Type menu within InDesign. Then I create my PDF files by using the Export command under the File menu and choosing the PDF/X1a option. 99% of the time I get perfect results, it's only when I try to make outline type that I encounter this problem. You'll clearly see the artifacts in question in the example attached.
    I don't know whether or not the press would have printed these artifacts, as you suggest, since no printer has been willing to execute a file that shows any anomaly in the proof process. I can't say that I blame them.
    Hopefully you will see what I'm talking about and can recommend a solution, though I like your idea of simply giving them a properly executed file and then telling them to get a life. It hasn't worked so far, as I unfortunately deal with a lot of Neanderthals around here, but I suppose it's worth putting forth again the next time this issue arises. It will.
    By the way, no print house of my choosing is this far behind the curve, if at all. These cavemen are always printers who have long-standing relationships with my clients, and for whatever reason (generally lowest cost I'm sure), the clients think they hung the moon. We, of course, no otherwise, but it does it profit a designer to tell his client he or she is crazy for using a printer who is a decade behind the technology curve.
    We cowboy up and seek solutions, eh?

  • Photos blurred after exporting as pdf

    Hi,
    after exporting my pages-file into pdf, one of the photos is pretty blurred. Can anyone help, please?
    Thank you so much!!
    xx
    pavinova

    I am no Pages expert but I got the blurring when tried to reduce the file size either by Pages reduce file size (Pages 5.5) or selecting the Good or Better output (Pages 09).  I got better results when reducing all photos outside of Pages using a graphics editor. I used Graphic Converter and got good results but am sure other apps (Photoshop etc.) work well too. Try with all settings at best quality and see how the pdf looks then. You should be able to get a pdf looking as good as the Pages file.

  • After exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    after exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
    You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
    (note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
    Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

  • Help with exporting. Video looks horrible after export, but great when in premiere pro

    Hey guys, looking for some advice on exporting.
    When I finish a video, the color and everything looks great while in premiere pro, but after exporting it, the color ends up looking dull and the whole video looks blurry.  I'm filming with a canon vixia hf200 at 60i. It imports as a AVCHD file, I deinterlace it, and then export at the Vimeo HD settings. What can be causing the video to look horrible after exporting? What settings should I be exporting under? Any help would be appreciated!

    It looks like you're coming up against some of the colorspace handling issues that the Premiere pipeline has.
    Since your source is 60i AVCHD it's HD and thus rec709 colorspace. If it gets encoded with the standard rec601 colorspace (SD sizes are this) then all the colors get crushed. Look for a "709" and "601" radio button in your export settings. If it's not there you're out of luck.
    The "blurry" is probably a poor quality de-interlacer. If Vimeo permits interlaced vs progressive do that instead. it's always cleaner to stay in the same video format all the way through.
    TECHNICAL ASIDE:
    rec709 is a triangle of possible colors that can be expressed by mixing of ratios of 3 emitters (the R G B corners of the triangle). (they are the RGB phosphors of a CRT and now LCD pixel elements)
    rec709 is a bigger triangle than rec601 so it's capable of more colors. but if you accidently map that triangle's corners to the coordinates of rec601 it gets crushed.
    In photography the "sRGB" uses the rec709 triangle. A bigger triangle that that is "Adobe RGB". So if you work in Adobe RGB and export to sRGB without conversion the colors get crushed because sRGB in inside the triangle of "Adobe RGB".

  • In SSRS , after exporting report in excel,wrap text property for cell and freeze column for SSRS table header not working in Excel

    I am working no one SSRS my table headers are freeze cangrow property is false and my report is working perfect while rendering data on RDL and i want same report after exporting in Excel also , i want my table header to be freeze and wrap text property
    to work after exporting in my report in excel but its not working ,is there any solution ? any patch ? any other XML code for different rendering ? 

    Hi Amol,
    According to your description, you find the wrap text property and fix column is not working after exporting into Excel. Right?
    In Reporting Services, when exporting to excel file, it has limitation for textbox.
    Text boxes are rendered within one Excel cell. Font size, font face, decoration, and font style are the only formatting that is supported on individual text within an Excel cell.
    Excel adds a default padding of approximately 3.75 points to the left and right sides of cells. If a text box’s padding settings are less than 3.75 points and is just barely wide enough to accommodate the text, the text may wrap in Excel.
    In this scenario, it supposed to be wrap text unless you merge cells. If cells are merged, word-wrap does not work correctly. If any merged cells exist on a row where a text box is rendered with the
    AutoSize property, autosize will not work. For the Fix Data Property, it can't be working in Excel. These are features when exporting to Excel. We can't change it because it's by design.
    Reference:
    Exporting to Microsoft Excel (Report Builder and SSRS)
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best Regards,
    Simon Hou
