Parts of masked line art and text appearing in PDF and (some) in InDesign files

Hello Adobe community,
I was wondering if someone can shed any light on an issue (or possibly 2 issues) I am having. I am using CC on a Mac. Software versions are Illustrator CC 17.1, InDesign 10.1.0.71, Acrobat 11.0.07.
Firstly in InDesign there is some screen residue appearing on the frame edge. The problem seems to be sporadic and not on every page of a 100pg+ document. The residue is appearing from a vector file of a map and this part of the map is masked with a compound path in Illustrator. The following is a screen snapshot of the Indesign file. (The little red arrow is not part of the file - it's just pointing out the problem)
The placed Illustrator file looks like this. The following snapshots shows the .ai file, the isolated compound path and outline mode showing what is happening beyond the compound path.
The horizontal arrow in the above (outline) snapshot shows part of the art that then occurs in the pdf. The vertical arrow shows where the compound path begins.
When I make a pdf not only does the fine line occur but part of the art beyond the compound path occur.
First arrow indicates fine line. Second arrow indicates the part of the masked artwork that is showing.
If anyone could suggest what may be causing this issue, that would be tremendous. I also cannot understand why this happens with just some of the masked artwork.
Thanks in advance
Stef

Stephane,
You should try to persuade Illy to update to 18.1.1.
You may try to restart the Creative Cloud application by quitting and relaunching it.
You may also try this specialized forum (where you may be able find the answer from previous threads),

How do i fix a file where relinking or updating file is too slow and generating 60+MB pdf from a 4mb Indesign file?

I have an 18 page files linking several pdf images and working with this file is horribly slow. These pdf images(total of 15) easily take a min to relink or update (pdf's are at max 2mb but majority are less than 1mb). The Indesign file is only 4mb but when i export or print to pdf I get a 60-70mb file. Exporting or printing these 18 pages easily takes 30 min. I can't use the file with a higher display quality unless i have the patience of watching a plant grow on that day. I've read a majority of ways why InDesign would be slow. At work im operating Windows 7, Indesign 6 and I have 32MB of RAM. Extremely frustrating and reminding me of the days of dial up internet. I've already done a SAVE AS and tried to reduce linked files image size and to no avail has not helped. I was able to get my 72mb pdf file to reduce to 6mb after using Adobe Acrobat and getting rid of the hidden information but I lose alot of quality in the linework. I am guessing its because these pdfs are generated from Revit or Autocad is why it might be holding onto some hidden info. So how do i make this file work faster (relink,export,pdf etc)?

Just to note as well, InDesign only links to files, there's no embedding, you would see a 4mb file, but if it's linked to a 10mb pdf and it has to include all that PDF in the final file then it will be circa 14mb file.
What you have is a vector heavy PDF and there's no real way to reduce that without losing quality.
You may have better joy by opening the linked PDFS in acrobat and using File>Print and choose Adobe PDF (or another method) to basically refry the CAD pdfs.
I'd do this with a copy of all the files though just in case something goes drastically wrong.
Frankly, I feel it's the nature of how CAD pdfs are made that's causing the downfall here, refrying these and Printing these files to PDF removes a lot of the complicated things happening in CAD files and makes a very dulled down PDF version.
Once you've done this then try FIle>Export from indesign to make your pdf.

A very good friend of mine dropped her iphone into water and now it is not working.Her husband recently passed away and text messages from him and from well wishers after his decease are feared lost. Is there any way to retrieve them?

I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distress

If she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for 4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up.

My hard drive died last week, and I needed to install a new one. Previously, I was able to save a .doc with text and inserted photo to .pdf and then to .jpg. Now I can get the .pdf but can't determine what to do to convert to .jpg. Does anyone know ?

Rather than do that, which means starting over from scratch, losing all your edits, organisation and so on, why not simply use iPhoto Library Manager to revert the Library to the older version? Easier, less destructive.
The instructions on that are here
If you really want to start over: you can access the Originals folder simply by going to your Pictures Folder and finding the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.

I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1, I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost?

I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1,( I know I need an update!) I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost? I recently backed up to the iCloud as recently as this morning at 2AM.

OCD with good reason
With a second backup, as you now have, you are well protected. The update makes a backup to use for restoring after the install but with another you should be in great shape.
Just take you time and be patient, these can take a while to complete depending on server load, connection speed, etc.

I import photos into lightroom and they appear just fine and then after 'developing' some disappear from the library though they still exist in the previous import window

Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits?

Define "the Aperture files".
Read this concise guide.
The files you imported into an Aperture Library can be exported (at any time, and repeatedly) using the command "File ▹ Export ▹ Originals". Your Originals are never altered. What went in is what comes out.
Adjustments and changes to the metadata that you made since creating an Image in Aperture by importing a file are saved to a text file. This file is combined, on-the-fly, with the Original to create the Image that you see in Aperture. There is no file saved to disk that is the full-size Image. Thumbnails are saved, and Previews are saved. These are JPG files, almost always smaller than the Original. They are not substitutes for the Image for the use you have.
When you need a file of an Image to use in another program, you export the Image from Aperture. "Export" means "Make me a file of this Image according to these file specs I'm providing". The way to get files of your adjusted Images is simple: create them by exporting. Specify "Original size", and use a loss-less image-file format (e.g. TIFF 16-bit) if you want to retain as much visual information as possible.
Search the Web for information about transitioning from Aperture to Lightroom. Note that I say "transitioning". You cannot move a database from one format to another without significant changes, and likely some loss of information. Adobe provides a tool and some instructions. I strongly recommend working out the process step-by-step, and then proceeding with first a few Images, then a bushel-ful, and stopping to use the first few, the the bushel-ful, before committing your entire collection to the process.
As always, never use any computer file without having a back-up.
We have seen mixed reports here of the success of the LR tool that creates a LR database from your Aperture database.
If you want to carefully define the process, and test and refine it, use the excellent process-development, analysis, and execution program inShort.
Sadly, there is not and can never be a good, thorough re-positioning of the digital assets in your Aperture Library to become digital assets in a LR database. Just as a metaphor for any user contemplating transitioning to another digital asset manager: that would be like digging up a house in one country, planting it in a hole in another country, and expecting to be able to use the toilet and the sinks, turn on the lights, cook dinner, and sleep soundly.
HTH,

I just bought this in order to copy and paste from a PDF and after I convert I still can't..

Hi helpme59,
It depends upon the restrictions set on the pdf.
If the creator of the pdf has set restrictions against copying then you will not be able to copy the content.
Are you facing the same issue with all the pdf's?
Would it be possible to share the pdf with me.

Save as Reduced Size PDF and Save as Optimized PDF do not reduce the file size. What gives?

Save as Reduced Size PDF and Save as Optimized PDF do not reduce the file size. What gives? I used Acrobat 9 to do this for a long time. I recently received new laptop loaded with with Acrobat 10 and it does not work the same. I typically scan 8-10 pages of receipts, combine the files in Acrobat, and then optimize to reduce the size so I can upload with my expense report. Typically, my files were reduced to 200-400 KB. I have a 2 MB file that will not reduce at all.

Bernd, thank you for your attempt to help but the option dialog windows do not contain the same options. There are numerous other posts on this forum about this issue and there is no answer. Clearly, there is an issue. I have submitted this issue to our internal help desk.

Text appearing as Bold and Italic in CS4

Hi Guys
Whenever I create a new document and type into it the text is automatically 'bold' and 'italics', I have saved the page and opened on another computer running CS4 and the text is fine (not bold or italic). I have created a page on another computer and opened it on the troublesome one and again it is bold and italic ((
I cannot see anything in the preferences that may cause it, I have also discarded the configuration folder which contains the preferences for the program - no good either (( So as a last resort I have re-installed Dreamweaver and it is still playing up. I guess I can re-installs the complete CS4 suite but rather not as it is going to take a while and also may not fix the problem.
Any ideas anybody??

I have just copied the code from the page as below and as you can see there is no bold or italic applied:-

Preview - anti aliasing and text in scanned pdf

hello all,
i have an issue with preview not anti aliasing text in pdf files. to elaborate, take a pdf with text which is selectable and it appears jagged, not anti aliased as in pdfs with text which is treated as an image, i.e. not selectable.
also, sometimes, when scrolling through pages in full screen, the following page has the text anti-aliased as the scroll animation is taking place, i.e. while the previous page is being moved away through the gesture, but once the previous page has disappeared and the new page 'settled in' the smoothing is gone.
smooth text and line art is checked, as is lcd smoothing in general preferences.
any suggestion are much appreciated.

Hi 1ndivisible,
Hmm, that's odd. My type is looking pretty decent out of Illustrator. Can you try a different font or the same font in a new sequence?
Thanks,
Kevin

Blackberry wont send/recieve calls and texts. Net apps and BBM working fine. Not battery, signal or credit problem.

My phone wont recieve texts or send SMS or phone calls. Have tried on many peoples phones, on different networks.
Have had this phone a couple of weeks. It was working fine until yesterday, now suddently when I attemp to call it says 'failed' and when i send tects they do not send. It wont recieve calls and tects from people who have tried in the same room.
I have this sim card years and have never had a problem before.
Untill yesterday I could call, text and recieve both just fine.
My BBM, app world and internet are working.
It is not a battery problem, it is charged.
It is not a credit problem, i have both free and actual credit.
it is not signal problem, the phone shows high signal, and other people on same network are working fine.
I have looked up simular problems, and attempted the solutions. Taking the battery out and resarting the phone does not change it, regestering the phone and sending service books did not fix the problem.
I have Blackberry Curve 8520, on Tesco pay as you go.
Any solutions? Please include instructions - i do not know how to find out what OS i am running, so if this is part of the solution please advise.

Hi Ammasay
Phone, SMS and MMS are all services supported by your wireless provider. Considering all of these features are not working, I would recommend contacting them to find out if there is a problem with your account or their services. BlackBerry features, such as BBM, BlackBerry App World, etc all use the BlackBerry network and thats why they are still working.
Thanks
