Part of image doesn't show in exported PDF

I am working on a trifold brochure. On rightmost of the three panels I have used a patterned image as a background with overlying text and image. I have applied a transparency gradient to the patterned image. Looks fine on screen but the right two thirds of the patterned image is blank in the PDF. The gradient is 100% transparent at the top and 0% transparent at the bottom with some stops in between. It also prints correctly from ID but not the PDF.
I'm using ID CS5 and a Mac with the latest OS.
Any clues at to how to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I didn't view it in Acrobat but in Preview. My problem is that I need to send the PDF to several people that are using a variety of computers, OS's and programs - none under my control. BTW it opens just fine in Acrobat Pro 9.4.1. I opened it in Acrobat and then did a Save As. Opened the Saved As file in Preview and the problem was still there.
The ID export settings were:
[High Quality Print] (modified)
PDF/X-4:2008
Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)
I've tried several combinations but nothing eliminated the problem.
Unfortunately I don't have a place to post the full file for your viewing. It is 3.5 MB.

Podcast feed image doesn't show up

Hi,
I have two separate podcast image issues here:
1. I can't get the feed image of a new podcast to show up at all. The podcast has been showing up for a while now. How long does it take for the feed image to show up? Is there no maximum size for feed images now? There used to be, but I don't see a size limit anymore, only a suggestion that the image should be square, which this one is. Here is the .rss feed in question:
http://christiantelevisionbroadcasting.com/rss/crosstalk.rss
2. I have a podcast that's been listed here on iTunes since 2005, when iTunes first started listing podcasts. I noticed recently that this podcast no longer shows up in the featured podcasts, even though it's popular, and certainly one of the oldest continuing podcasts on iTunes. The podcast (Axis Coffee House) shows up near the top of the list when you search the podcasts for "praise" or "Texas Baptist" and then sort by popularity. If you click on "see all" to look at the list of image icons, the Axis podcast doesn't show up at all anymore. I suspect there may be something wrong with the feed image which prevents it from showing up in the graphical listing? Here is the .rss feed in question:
http://www.ReluctantRadio.org/axis.rss
Thanks for your help... (smile)

sadly, we podcast creators have no way of controlling what is a featured podcast. This is something that the iTunes staff picks and chooses...here's a snippet from the spec:
"Getting Featured on the iTunes Home Page
At iTunes, we’re constantly on the lookout for podcasts that are breaking new ground with this medium, have new or unusual content, or just capture our interest. When we find them, we like to feature them on the Podcasts home page. While there are no sure-fire ways to get your podcast featured (and no, we do not accept payments for promotion), there are some minimum requirements."
The popularity meter in iTunes for podcasts is pretty useless and is in not really reflective of how popular your feed really is. It's merely a gauge as to how frequently people have subscribed to the feed with itunes. It doesn't take into account people that have subscribed via direct link, manually subscribed, or subscribed using other feed readers/podcatchers.
Feed validator is still coughing up some errors. You missing GUID's for your items as well. The GUID can be anything as long as it's unique throughout the xml. Often times just using the same url as the enclosure does the trick.
The iTunes podcast directory is also very clunky and has quite a lot of holes...some feeds are listed in categories they don't belong in, some are listed when searching but not browsing, all sorts of strange behavior. So there may not be anything wrong with your feed that is causing it not to show up....just a clunky database.

Fade out doesn't show when exported as a jepg sequence?

I'm exporting my video as a jpeg sequence because I can't get rid of the artifacts when exported as a .mov file no matter how much I mess with the settings. The Jpeg sequence works great the only problem is the fadeouts in the video don't show. Anyone know how to change that?
Or how to get the video to export as a .mov file without artifacts some other way besides changing the quicktime settings.

It still doesn't show. It's within the symbol, using the color effect alpha and doesn't show when playing through the timeline- only when testing the movie/scene or exported as a swf or mov file.

PDF annotation with link, image doesn't show, only in print or Google Chrome, not Adobe Reader main

We are creating PDF files with annotations, we are using the O2 Solutions PDF Library for C#. We used to create PDFStampAnnotations, but now we want to make the images clickable, to navigate to the URL belonging to the image.
Therefore, we are now using PDFLinkAnnotations, with a PDFImageAppearance.
We set the flags of the annotation to Print.
However, the annotation won't show in the PDF in Adobe Reader. It does show in the Google Chrome inline PDF viewer.
It also shows in the print preview window in Adobe Reader.
But it does not show in the normal view in Adobe Reader. What we do see is, when hovering over the rectangle that should contain our image, our mouse cursor becomes a hand and a tooltip with the link is displayed. If we click, everything works as expected. But we don't see an image!
What can we do about this? This is really annoying, as I don't have a clue why it won't work. Actually, to me, this looks like a bug in Adobe Reader?

Thank you for your reply.
Indeed, I tried saving a PDF that had the "default appearance", it shows exactly the same. So it looks like it "can't" show the image.
However, of course, I do want the image to be shown. How can I achieve this? How can I tell Adobe Reader (and other PDF viewers) I really really realllyyyyy want to see that image there? I believe I'm not doing anything really exotic, right? There must have been tons of other people that wanted to do the same thing, I guess?

Oil paint filter -- image doesn't show up

I'm running CS6 on Windows7, Intel HD Graphics P4000 with driver updated. I have used the oil paint filter successfully in the past. Now when I try to use it, the filter window comes up, and it notes that the image I want to work on is at 25% size, but it remains blank -- the image itself never shows. Any ideas?

I have the exact same problem. Although, it has never worked for me -- just a grey screen where I expect the photo to be.
I did update the graphics driver for my Dell Inspiron 7520. It didn't change anything.
I also updated CS6 - no difference.
In other forums it was suggested the I go to Preferences; Performance; Advanced Setteings and check the "Open CL" box. But it is greyed out and I cannot check it.
Anyone out there know how to fix this??

Custom Image(URL) not showing up in PDF

Hi,
We have created a standard webi-report where a company logo is part of the report header.
We would like to keep the company logo in a database, so we've creáted a simple webapp to retrieve the image from an Oracle database. When we insert the logo into our report we just use the following link as the Image(URL): http://<Servername>/plsqlapp/docs/Company.JPG
The logo now shows up as expected in the report as long as we view the report through InfoView. However, when we export the report as a PDF document, the logo will vanish.
If we use boimg://Company.jpg as the Image(URL) instead, it works OK even when exported to a PDF document.
We would however prefer to keep our images used in reports in a database.

Foreign character not showing in exported pdf

I have this character Š which seems to show okay in ID but when I export it as a pdf it doesn't show. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated. The weird thing is I've got another character, which is the same, and that one comes out okay - I even tried copying and pasting that one but it doesn't work.

Need a bit more info.
What Operating System? What version of InDesign? What font? What font management software?

While generating PDF from webpage or website some of the images/texts doesnt show up in PDF. Also, there are a lot of formatting inconsistencies.

Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs ! ! !

Can anyone please help, the websites hosted with us are developed on adobe CQ5.4 content management tool and when they are exported to PDF some of the images / texts doesn't get generated in the PDF. Also, the css /theme doesn't get generated resulting in formatting inconsistencies.
However, if the same website is generated using some online PDF converters all Images & texts are coming fine with correct formatting.
Is this issue due to using CQ CMS as that has a lot of components or is there a limitation with Acrobat XI pro trial version or anything else ?
Appreciate if some one could provide inputs.
Thanks

PDF Pack doesn't let me export .pdf to .doc

Doesn't PDF Pack have any functionality? Is it just a gateway to more subscriptions? I can't find any way to export .pdf to .doc. Instead, it's asking me to buy another subscription (this time to Adobe Export)!

Hi muktibhukti,
It sounds like you may just need to sign in to the service. What happens when you go directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com and sign in with your Adobe ID and password?

Layer blend mode doesn't show in export

Hi,
I am trying to export a composition from After Effects CC, I am using a Multiply blending mode in most of my layers to give it a better look.
When previewing in after effects it looks as I want it too look but when I add to AME and export it to youtube and vimeo the Multiply blending mode does not work and it shows the composition as if all the layers had NORMAL blending mode.
How can I fix this?
Thanks a lot!

Render a normal Image sequence or Quicktime clip directly from AE and convert it in AME, which would be smarter, anyway.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks, -bill

The path in the CSS is wrong.
You're thinking that the index.html file is in the root directory of this beta site hence the root relative reference in the CSS.
However, as far as the server is concerned, the root directory (where the index file is located) of this beta site is in a subfolder called "staging".
http://www.solterrasolarcells.com/staging/index.html
The CSS in the body selector for the background is pointing to /Assets/qlogoBKGlt.gif.
The full address of that path is http://www.solterrasolarcells.com/Assets/qlogoBKGlt.gif but the Assets folder does not exist at root level on the server, hence no image appears.
So for a root-relative path, you need to prefix the CSS with the "staging" folder
i.e.
body {
    background-image: url(/staging/Assets/qlogoBKGlt.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-color: #fff;
or for a document-relative path from the "styles" folder where the CSS file is located, go up a level:
body {
    background-image: url(../Assets/qlogoBKGlt.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-color: #fff;
When the site goes live, the "staging" folder will presumably disappear (all files will come up a level) and therefore any root relative links will have to be altered to reflect that.

Open-graph Yammer item's image doesn't show after posting?

I am trying to use Yammer for a per-page comment platform in a SharePoint Online environment. This seems to require placing a Yammer embed in each page
and configuring the embed to use Open-Graph. (see further below for the embed code details I'm using)
As you can see in the following screenshot, the image url I'm providing allows the preview dialog to display the image, once the post is posted, the image no longer is shown.
Why does the image not show up after posting?
Here's the Yammer Embed markup I'm using for this particular article:
<div id="embedded-feed" style="height:565px;width:100%;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://assets.yammer.com/assets/platform_embed.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
yam.connect.embedFeed({
container: "#embedded-feed"
, network: "myyammernetwork.com"
, feedType: "open-graph"
, config: {
use_sso: false
, showOpenGraphPreview: false
, header: false
, footer: false
, promptText: "Comment on this page..."
, objectProperties: {
url: "https://mysharepointonline.sharepoint.com/sites/yammertime/Pages/Example-Article.aspx"
, type: "page"
, title: "The Title Goes Here"
, description: "Description goes here"
, image: "https://mysharepointonline.sharepoint.com/sites/yammertime/PublishingImages/2014-07-23_172717-true%20equals%20false.png"
</script>

Hi Steve,
Per my understanding, there is an issue when using Yammer embed in a page.
As a common practice when troubleshot an issue in page, it is recommended to debug the script in use in browser using IE Developer Tools, it will provide more information
about this issue:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/bg182326(v=vs.85)
Since this question is more relate to Yammer, I suggest you post it to the corresponding forum, you will get more help and confirmed answers there.
