PDF book with graphics: large white stripes

Steps to get in the issue:
1) Prepare a Book
2) Focus on the background panel on the right
3) Select the first wedding graphics (the one with centered graphics)
4) Choose graphic color: white
5) Choose opacity: 100% (...anything more than 50% makes the problem more visible)
6) Choose background color: black
7) export book to PDF
PROBLEM: even if the pages appears as expected on the monitor (black background with white decorations), in PDF there are white large vertical stripes right over (boxing) the graphic decorations.
Regards,
Mauro

In view of the problems I’ve been experiencing with the graphics templates not uploading to Blurb, I tested this and got similar results (Windows Vista, Standard Landscape, Blurb Book)

ID CS 4 exporting PDF books with low-res graphics

I've been exporting ID CS 4 documents to PDF with absolutely no problems, but today I created a book containing multiple documents, and I'm running into a snag when exporting.
If I open a single document and export as PDF, everything is fine. All the images in the document are rendered in high resolution.
If I open a book containing that very same document as well as another document, then I export the book as PDF, many, but not all, of the graphics in the original document are rendered in very low resolution. See image below.
Why? I didn't change a single thing in the dialog box for exporting to PDF.
I did several tests and it appears that if I open all the documents which comprise the book, all the images in the exported PDF are high resolution as desired. However, ultimately I want to create a book with 120+ documents, and there's no way I can keep them all open in memory without ID crashing. Yes, I suppose I can open a subset of the documents, export them, then combine the PDFs in Acrobat, but that's a cludge workaround.
Surely ID CS4 should be able to properly export as PDF a book containing a lot of documents with images, but damned if I can figure out what's causing these low-res images to appear.
If anyone has a solution, I would be very grateful if you'd share it with me.

I don't have a lot of files to test with, but I have one book that has about a dozen component files and around 200 images that's still in CS4. I just tried and export withthe docs closed here, and ID opened them all, as expected, exported, and reclosed them. I see no signs of image degradation, but these are not scaled images -- they were all converted to the correct profiles and scaled in Photoshop and then re-linked during the editing process, and I run Windows, and I'm only at 6.0.5 because this book has a number of Illustrator charts that I spent hours getting right in the first edition and I didn't want to risk them changing, so it may be an apples to oranges comparison.
The last thing I have for a suggestion to try would be a manual prefs replacement (so you can put your current set back when it turns out to be irrelevant). See Replace Your Preferences
Other than that, I'd say you may have found yourself a bug, and there's not a chance in the world that it will ever be fixed for CS4.

How can I make a pdf book with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time

How can I make a pdf book (single pdf file with several pages) with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time. ( Or )how can I attach all those pictures converted pdf's into one pdf file which obviously results in to a single pdf file with several pages in it ?

Adobe Reader on the iPhone is a PDF reading app. It's not a creation app.
You need to get an app like Pages which is intended for page layout. It can place pictures from the phone and export PDF.

My iPod touch screen went fuzzy with pink and white stripes

Hello! I really appreciate if anyone would tell me what's wrong with my iPod touch.
I have been using my iPod touch for less than a year, and honestly, I have quite a bad habit: I always use it for playing games. And sometimes, I even use it while it is charging. Usually it's fine, nothing went wrong, so I keep doing the same thing sometimes.
one day, I'm visiting my relative and tried to charge my iPod. Since my iPod doesn't have an adaptor, I usually charge it using my laptop (the seller told me to charge it in a laptop/computer). One day, I borrowed my cousin's laptop to charge my iPod, but she only gave me an adaptor (not made for iPod or any apple products, but it fits so I thought it's okay). But the next day, I found out that my iPod went off by itself and I know that my battery isn't low.
I Tried to charge it using my laptop at home, but it still went off! Also, it went normal in my laptop (the iTunes appeared automatically, as a sign that my iPod is charging). So, I tried to restore it and I worked (at least I thought so), until I saw my screen went fuzzy (pink and white stripes). So, almost everyday I turn off my iPod, turn it on again, wait for a while, then use it normally. Usually it lasts 'normal' for hours, but it will still be error as usual.
So, my question is:
What makes my iPod touch screen went fuzzy?
Is it because I used it while charging?
Is it because I charged it with an adaptor that is not made for Apple products?
please help me, I don't know what else to do! I have restored it, I didn't download many applications like I used to before, and I left it alone when I was charging (I didn't play it while it's charging any more), and I even didn't turn on the Wi-Fi if I'm not using it (I almost NEVER turn off the Wi-Fi before my iPod touch went error)
Thank you for answering..

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

RE-printing a PDF book With Acrobat 9

I have this strange problem. When I print a pdf book as a pdf again (reason I am doing this if because it will give me a page size that will go with the entire book, and as a result, it will be easier to crop the book.), the file size becomes WAY bigger than the original size of the PDF.
This is the basic process when I do the the printing to pdf:
Select ALL the pages in the book.
Go To Print.
Under the Name List, select Adobe PDF.
Click Properties.
On the Layout tab, Click Advanced. Under Paper Size, Select Postscript Custom Paper Size.
Select the Unit (e.g. Millimeter).
Once done, go to the ADOBE PDF Setting tab, and then select Default Setting to Standard.
click all the OKs, until you are ready to print.
I have tried to to look for the answer on other forums, and googling, but no proper explanation or advice.
Thanks

Tried that. That doesnt solve the problem. File is still as big as
hell. Acrobat 8 works like a charm for this process. I even made
screenshot for the 'small size' preset and compared it to Acrobat 9.
Seems the same, so not sure why does it make files bigger. Dont get
started with file optimization because this book im dealing with here
has bad images to any downsizing is going to mess it up. Booya:-@

Trouble opening library PDF book with Adobe Touch - help???

In trying to open a library book (PDF format) on my new Windows8 Tablet, using Adobe Touch, I get a message saying, 'There are features in this file that are not supported by this program.' It doesn't allow me to open it anyway. It seems there must be a way to do this Does anyone know what it is?

Library eBooks are not regular PDF files. They are protected by the Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology.
Unfortunately, Adobe Reader Touch (or Reader for iOS/Android) does not support DRM-protected PDF files.
You may want to try OverDrive Media Console for Windows. According to the tech spec, the application is compatible with Windows 8 and RT.

My ipod's screen went all fuzzy! Then it came on with black and white stripes/lines (vertical). Now it won't come on! What's wrong with my ipod? PLEASE HELP!

When I click on almost any picture, in any album, to enlarge it, the pic starts to enlarge and then all I get is a black screen with a large exclamation point in the center. What have I done to my iPhoto program, and how do I fix it?

Recently, whenever I click on almost any of my pictures, in any album, in order to enlarge that photo, it starts to enlarge but then,
very quickly I get a black screen with a large white exclamation mark in the middle. And no full sized photo. Boo!
What did I do to my iPhoto program, and how can I fix it?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Mike H.

I'm sorry. Too old to understand this stuff. I'm sure this seems real stupid to you. But I have no idea how one
would "right click on the Original iPhoto Library" (I know, I know, 'as stated").
Do I right click on the symbol in the dock?? Or open it first and then, . . I can't find a way to right click on the word iPhoto in the top bar.
Or should I open the program you had me download. There I can find something called "original iPhoto library".
When I "right click" on that I get some options. None of them are "original folders". There's "reveal library in finder", and "dupilicate library and "sort libraries". I have no idea if any of these are what you want, or if any of these might change something.
When I clicked on "reveal library in finder" earlier on it showed me the copy of the photo library that I made a while ago, sitting right where I know it is on my desktop. And if I click on that symbol it shows me all the pictures again. Just like in my regular iPhoto files - all the thumbs are there, but most can't be opened to full sized.
Are we making progress here? I'm sure this is frustrating to you. This is just pictures of family. Even the thumbs are nice to look at. But this is nothing critical - like work related or anything.
Thanks.

LR 4.1, Book module, printing a double page with graphic bakground to pdf

Iam wrong, or did I found a bug?
In the book module, when printing to pdf a double page layout with graphic background, the background only appears on one of the 2 pages, the other page background remains blank !

SolaceArts wrote:
I just finished watching all the videos up regarding the new book module and have a few questions:
If I wanted to use the book module to create layouts for a company other than Blurb, is there a way to set up custom book sizes? Or is the module limited to Blurb's standard sizes?
If I export a book layout to PDF, can I then split up the PDF pages and save them individually as jpg files in Acrobat Pro or some other program?
Will the LR 4 book module always be exclusively affiliated with Blurb, or is there some chance in the future for book sizes/specs from other companies to be used instead (a la PhotoJunction's Lab Resources or DIY sizing)?
Thanks.

Ai cs4-trouble with vistaprint pdf (1.4) specs-hairline white box

I have never worked with vistaprint before. When I upload my Ai cs4 file using their pdf (1.4) specs, I get the horrible transparent box with a hairline white border around some of my text (drop shadow). I have been on the phone w/ their customer service, and they can't help me. They also take Ai and PS files, but my file is too large to send, and am afraid I might lose something in compression. Any ideas?

Hi Mike,
Thanks for taking an interest! I tried rebuilding my gradient as suggested to see whether it would make a difference, but was still having issues. Tried to save every which way with the save as PDF options in 1.3 profile. Finally went back into the file to unpack each layer and see what I could adjust to save the appearance.
Found this fix in my swatches palette: for some reason the swatches I was working with had converted to "Book Colour", something I never use. I changed the dropdown back to CMYK and changed the colours from spot to process, which fixed the file Relief after hours of searching and late nights!
Thanks again!

PDFs printing with black background and white text.

For some reason some of our PDF's have been printing with black backgrounds and white text, even though they appear to be normal on the screen before they are printed. I haven't been able to confirm 100% yet but it appears to only be happening with pdfs that were created from scanned documents.
Can somebody please offer me some suggestions.

Absolutely agree with the original poster. I find white text on black background so very very difficult (I changed from using Tweetbot on iOS to Tweetlogix for this very reason) and it physically hurts my eyes to try to read it. I can just about manage with Spotify using white text on a black background on the large screen of my MacBook Pro - and I do mean "just" - but for the smaller screen of my iPhone 5 it is just impossible. Even with a retina screen such as that on the iPhone 5S there is a strange ghosting effect and it gives me a headache to look at it for too long.
This may be something to do with age! I suspect most app developers are youngsters with almost perfect eyesight, but for those of us whose eyesight is less than perfect, this white text on black background really is so very difficult.
I know there is a workaround in setting the iPhone to invert ALL colours (under Accessibility in Settings) but it's a real pain to have to keep altering this setting every time I want to open or close Spotify, and it doesn't look right anyway. iOS7 is supposed to be a light, bright, easy to read OS - sadly this new Spotify app is the opposite of that.
Please would Spotify consider adding a simple light or dark theme option, so that those of us who want it can have our much easier to read light background back again, with grey or black text? It would be a great help to those of us who have eyesight problems.
If not, I may have to cancel my Spotify Premium account and move to Deezer instead, as I mainly use Spotify when out and about in the car, so am using the iOS app a lot.
Thank you for considering this plea!

Converting Framemaker 10 book to PDF produces blurry graphics

I've tried troubleshooting this all day and am not coming up with any resolutions. I have a 100 pg book with many screenshots and diagrams. I have imported by reference and typically have to resize on import to fit the anchored frame. I try not to drag to resize. The graphics in the resulting PDF look blurry. Does anyone have any tips on how to sharpen these up? Should I use the PDF Printer with special settings as opposed to the HP printer for producing the PDF. Are there special settings I should be looking at in FrameMaker, Acrobat, printer setup, etc. so they will play well together? There are so many settings and I don't have the expertise (or support) to make modifications.
If anyone has any suggestions that might help, I love to hear from you. Thanks!

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

The only Iceberg app I can find in the app store is a social networking app, not an e-reader. I don't see how you could buy books for it.
UPDATE: I see that it isn't available in the US app store. To contact the developer find it in your App Store and there will be a link to the developer's support site.

Save FrameMaker Book as PDF - Files with different page sizes

I've created a book with 2 files - the pages in the first file are 8.5 x 11, the pages in the second file are 8.5 x 14.
How can I save the book as a PDF but keep both page sizes? Right now if I change the page size in the PDF settings dialog, it changes all pages.
Thanks.

Something's not right. Try this route then:
1. Use the Print Book option and have the AdobePDF printer instance selected, turn off the the Print to File, enable the "Generate Acrobat Data" option.
2. Click the PDF Setup button to ensure that the Page size is set to the largest (as in the previous message),
3. Then click the Setup... button to configure the printer for the largest size required.
4. Then click the OK button to get back to the Print Book and finally click Print.
5. You should be prompted where to place the file (unless you left the default configuration which may place it on your desktop).
This should have all the pages correctly cropped as in the following sample with Letter, Legal and Tabloid all in one book:
