PDF colour shows in Acrobat X1 in wrong way

When comparing the Printed Magazine with the dokument in Indesign (CC 2014), Photoshop (CC 2014) and Acrobat (X1) the colours is not the same. Its all been setup from Bridge. Everything is matched except Acrobat that shows the PDF i wrong way. Why?

Maybe it lost your serial number? Re-enter it (or log in with your Adobe ID).

Audio in PDF slide show doesn't play. What can I do ?

I created a PDF slide show with MP3 audio (from Elements Organizer version 10.0). The PDF doesn't play the audio. What can I do ?

Hello Andaleeb,
thank you for getting back to me.
The slide show works fine, including sound, from within Organizer. It
also works fine when I export it as a video. Just PDF isn't working.
In the meantime, from various contributions in the forum, I gather that,
unfortunately, the Organizer (just like Lightroom) simply does not
support adding music to PDF slide shows. Apparently, there is a way to
do that using Acrobat Pro (only costs 640 Euros).
You may consider my question answered.
Regards,
Thomas

SWF Export, no font showing in Acrobat and zoom border problem (Acrobat & Reader) - Indesign CS6

Hi Everyone,
If anyone could help me on this that would be great, I've spent hours on the forums and manuals to no avail.
I'm making an interactive PDF brochure in Indesign for one of our new products and I'm having issues (actual or perceived??!!) with the SWF export and PDF creation. I'm placing animations and video in the INDD, exporting it as an SWF (with the text option as Flash Classic Text) and then opening the SWF (not importing to a word doc or anything, just opening the SWF) with Acrobat using the advanced options to import the video resources and to enable the content when the page is opened. I then save the file as a PDF. In the PDF everything works as it should, the animations, the buttons, the video plays and so on. Great.. hmm not quite.
The trouble I am having is that all the content of the SWF when viewed in Acrobat seems to be getting rasterised/flattened - is this correct? After the SWF is opened, Acrobat indicates no fonts in the fonts tab in the document properties so when the SWF is zoomed in Acrobat, or the saved PDF in Reader, the font gets pixelated and the document is not searchable/text can not be highlighted. The images are not selectable either - it is as if the entire page has been flattened to one image. Is there a way to stop this so that the SWF opened with Acrobat retains the font and individual images like a normal PDF? Do I have to open the SWF in Flash first to set some parameters or something? Is there something I am doing wrong when exprting the SWF from Indesign? I think I have tried about every possible export combination. When I open the .HMTL (exported at the same time as the SWF from Indesign) in a browser, the same happens. All the animations work but the text appears to be rasterised/flattened/not searchable. Sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology.
I have tried importing the SWF back into another new INDD and exporting that as an interactive PDF but then the video does not work. I suppose I could try exporting all the individual animations as SWFs, importing them all and trying to get them to work with the video but I can see that will take quite some time and does not seem to be a guaranteed solution from what I have read on the forums - video playback being the issue.
Another problem is that when the SWF, or saved PDF, is zoomed in Acrobat/Reader between approx 150% and 210% a thick white border appears in the document and the content is squashed into the middle creating a slightly pixelated and narrow page. When I zoom out from the page I get a small white line on the right hand border at around 70% zoom. Please see images. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
On another, sort of related topic, my timing panel went blank yesterday and was not showing any animations in documents that it had been used to order and synch animations on page load as well as new documents. The panel was blank. I updated to V8.0.1 and the panel sprang back into life - hope that helps anyone else finding the same problem.
I am not very familiar with Indesign/Acrobat/Flash so I guess all the above could be what I'm doing or I could be asking really dumb questions - apologies from a newbie.
Best,
Emily

Hi All,
I have now pretty much solved all the issues by creating the SWF in Flash rather than Indesign. I would advise anyone looking to create an interative PDF with animation and interactivity to go with Flash from the start. While Flash is a little more involved to create the same effects as Indesign, the extra time taken will ensure a more controllable and better looking PDF in terms of text quality, scalability and so on. Plus you will not spend days trying to get video to work along side imported SWF etc in Indesign. One of the best controls in Flash is being able to set the stage.scaleMode for the document so the PDF still looks crisp when zooming, no white borders etc. So, create the .fla, export to .SWF, open the .SWF with Acrobat, modify the advanced settings to enable start on page load and save as a PDF. If you don't know Flash, I didn't a couple of days ago, watch a couple of tutorials on Youtube.. buttons, tweens, embedding video and you'll be ready. Don't be put off by ActionScript, there are really handy Code Snippets in CS6 that do all the heavy lifting for you.
Sorry Indesign!
Best,
Em

Acrobat plugin Build with SDK6 not Showing in Acrobat X and XI

I'm working on an old Plugin build for Acrobat (not reader) using SDK v6.
This plugin worked fine, upto Acobat 9. (it is only used in Windows)
Now some users tell me it is not showing in Acrobat X.
So I installed a trial verison of Acrobat XI.
After reading some threads, I removed all the references to ADM.
Recompiled it (VisualStudio 2010), and put the debug version in the PLUG-INS folder of Acrobat
But there in no Menu added...
In the General System Information, it is listed under Installed Plug-ins.
But when running in VisualStudio, none of the callbacks is hit. (this worked fine when I was using Acrobat9)
Some of my users are using the plugin in Acrobat7 so I prefer still using SDK6.
Are there any other things that could be incompatible.
What is the first Callback that Acrobat uses to talk to the Plugin.
Can Acrobat give me any info on what is wrong with my Plugin.
Johan

If the plug-in is not even loaded, chances are that something goes wrong
when the OS tries to link the plug-in to dynamic libraries. Verify that you
have all the libraries installed that are required to run the plug-in.

Original .pdfs colours different (darker) in printed magazine - WHY?

I am running InDesign on a PC (Windows XP). I use it to edit and design a full colour short run magazine which is professionally printed. My problem is that the colours of the final printers proofs and finished magazine are coming through darker in tone, particularly the reds and blues, than the .pdfs I generate using InDesign. On my screen and on the HP printer I use to run off test pages, the .pdfs colours are fine. Somehow the printers' equipment and/or software is making them darker on the final printed magazine, unacceptably so this time.
We generate the magazine using InDesign and send the final .pdfs to the printers via an ftp server service (YouSendIt). The printers then create the final proofs for me to approve and sign off. Sometimes they send me these in the post as printed sheets (sherpas) to sign off. Recently I have been going online to their "Delano" server and approve the proofs on line. Last time round however they had a problem with it and sent me the printed proofs to sign off.
Most of the images we used originate as digital ones and are supplied to us as high res. Occasionally there is a scan. However as the printer uses cmyk images, and insists we convert any rgb images to cmyk before they will process our .pdfs. We do the picture conversion from rgb to cmyk using Photo-paint.
In the past I have had problems with the colour balance of the final proofs being darker than my original .pdfs. Changing colour balance at the pre-press stage is expensive and as it is just about acceptable if the final magazine does not contain too many photos with a lot of grass and sky, then I will let it run.
But it has happened again and is unacceptable. I was sent a very good quality professional photo for the cover (in high res digital format) taken outdoors on a sunny day with a lot of grass and it has inevitably printed too dark on the final cover. (sky is greyish not blue and grass is orange-ish not light green). Same problem throughout.
The printed proofs supplied by the printers this time were too dark, so I phoned up the Production Manager to tell him this before I signed them off. He said not to worry as they were not 100% accurate for colour anyway. To be on the safe side, I marked on all the proofs individually that the colour was too dark, and printed out and sent them a .pdf of the cover, showing the correct colour balance.
Still the printed magazine arrived too dark, just as it was on their proofs. I again complained to the Production Control Manager who put me onto their Technical Support guy, who is not very helpful (always looks at it being customers fault as his first position). He said first of all that it must be my scanning, and conversion from rgb to cmyk. I pointed out the cover photo was not scanned but an original high res digital image supplied by a press agency. So he then said my PC and printer must be at fault.
I have gone back and looked at the colours on previous issues and they are all on the dark side, for example bright blue skies come out greyish, but it only really notices if there is a lot of grass and sky in the pictures. Is the printers software or equipment attempting to compensate for needing extra colour in some way? Also they are primarily a MAC house and I use a PC. Could this affect the colour calibrations?
I need to talk to them again but want to do so from a position of knowing something about how a .pdf gets converted into a final proof and how the colours could get darker, given their tech support is unhelpful.
If it is relevant, this is their printing equipment: Twin Computer-to-Plate lines; Two Heidelberg 8 colour presses .
Any advice anyone can give on what might be causing the final magazine to be darker in tone than my InDesign .pdfs would be appreciated.

Wow – thanks for all your suggestions I am going to have to take a while to digest and try them out and report back.
I am in fact on very good terms with the Production Manager at the printers but I think he has rather been dropped in it, as it seems the unhelpful tech support guy has just left and not been replaced so the Production Control Manager is left trying to sort out advanced technical aspects of prepress for which he has not been trained.
I have to ask why the printers don't give you the information you need up front instead of claiming a .pdf from Indesign is all it takes.
In all this .pdf fine tuning stuff I am reminded of my earlier career in IT. I was involved in setting up an early wide area VOIP network (Voice over Internet Protocol - a sort of Skype to the uninitiated). To make this work we needed a digital switchboard which was configured to the latest European standard and software to match. Everyone assured me that the protocol concerned (let us call it 802.11) was brand new and had not yet had time to develop any variations……of course there were all sorts of problems not least that the line kept dropping and everytime it restarted we got charged a reconnection charge. I won’t bore you with how we got there in the end but needless to say, one man’s VOIP implementation of VOIP using 802.11 is not necessarily another’s.
I am reminded of this in all the issues surrounding exporting .pdfs to get the correct colour balance in the resulting publication. I swear to you this was never mentioned to me as being an issue at any time by anyone when we started down this route.
Meanwhile today I asked the printers’ salesman chasing my business to send their technical spec – pointing out I work on a PC running XP - and this is what I got
A sheet headed “Recommended settings for creating a PDF/X directly from Adobe InDesign CS3. This example was created on Mac OS x 10.5 using InDesign 5.0.1” This is followed by a series of screen prints with the following headings
Check your Transparency Flattener Preset is correctly configured (via the edit menu) this will be selected in the Advanced tab (step 6)
Select File – Export then in Format chose Adobe PDF and name the file, select folder to save it to and click Save
In General select single page to print set compatibility to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) and deselect all the list Options and include checkboxes
The Compression tab sets the options for how the PDF will handle resolutions for placed colour, grey scale and monochrome images
The Printers marks should be enabled as below.
Use the Destination and Output Intent profile name relevant to the publication. ISO Coated V2 300 is used here as an example only.
Ensure there are only process colour and no Spot colours. Converting colour to CMYK at the PDF creation stage can give unpredictable results
Select the transparency Flattener previously created. OPI should be disabled. Here is also where you can opt to create a JDF file
Make sure all the options in Security are disabled. Summary lists all the settings that can be applied it can be saved as a text file for reference
Note item 6 – it does not actually tell me what the printers recommended settings for my publication are
And Note also item 7 where it says that converting to colour to CMYK at the PDF creation stage can give unpredictable results

Previewing a pdf document created by Acrobat 5.0 in IE 7

I have a document converted to pdf format by Adobe Acrobat 5.0 that needs to be accessible for viewing and download from a web page. I got it uploaded to the website and there is a link to the file on the website's home page. I have Adobe Reader 9.1 on my computer. When I go to open the document that I created using Acrobat 5 by clicking on the link for it, a box comes up telling me that I "need Adobe Acrobart/Reader 8 or 9 to view the document in a web browser". My Windows XP system's Folder Options are set up to open files with a pdf extension using Adobe Reader 9.1. Yet, when I try to access a pdf from my website I get the aforementioned error message and Adobe Acrobat 5.0 opens up, and with nothing displayed. Has anyone experienced this, or know of a fix.... or what I may have done wrong in building the document or configured my web browser, Windows Internet Explorer 7? -- Chessgeek

PDF displays differently in Acrobat 8 to 7 or 9?

An external supplied PDF exported from Indesign CS4 all fonts embedded was imported into Prinergy and refined. If the Prinergy PDF is opened in Acrobat 7 or 9 it looks like the original and the Prinergy PDF is dropped onto a hotfolder and printed out on a Xerox printer with a Level 3 rip it looks fine.
If you open the PDF in Acrobat 8 one of the fonts is corrupt. We created a Scitex CT file, proofed the Scitex CT file, the font proofs as being corrupted. Creating a Prinergy VPS shows the font as being corrupt.
Any ides on why Acrobat 8 display the PDF differently to Acrobat 7 and 9? All version of Acrobat are fully patched and we have tested on several computers.

Denis

The files are not secured. Some of the files are part of a pdf portfolio, where the portfolio is a mixture of pdfs created/scanned in 8 and pdfs created/scanned in X and combined into a pdf portfolio by X. The troubled X files are not visible in 8 as standalone files or as files inside the portfolio. Some of the files have never been combined into a portfolio and are not visible to 8.
It does not happen to all of the scans. Some scans done by X are visible in 8 and others are not, even though the scan settings used are the same. Strangely, all of the files, whether visible in 8 or not, are visible in X. The lack of visibility in 8 occurs across multiple machines using 8, not just one machine, and the same pattern occurs across multiple machines running 9.
I have examples of the files, but they contain private information. One such file is two pages. It is a standalone file, not a pdf portfolio. The second page is visible in 8, but the first page is not; both pages are visible in X. If I delete the second page (confidential information) and post the file, will the second page be visible by any means?
Additionally, the file pages are enormous to print even though they were scanned at 400 dpi, color, jpeg2000, jbig2 (lossy), deskew on, background removal off, descreen on, text sharpening, low. The first page was 63.7 MB to print and the second page was 97.2 MB to print. The entire file is only 1913 KB.
Do you think that I have a bad install and should just uninstall and reinstall?

Problem with creating PDF in Photoshop, or Acrobat Output Preview

I saved a PDF in Photoshop and Acrobat's output preview the text was black in 4 colors and Rip did not have this problem. Why?

You have gone a while without a reply here, so I'll bump your post at least, but it is not clear from your question exactly what your problem is.
'Black in four colors' I don't understand this statement. Black is black and does not have colours.
'Rip' I don't know what you mean by Rip.
One tghing that comes to mind is that if you have exported a large layered document to PDF and that document had vectored objects like Type layers, whenn you view the PDF file you might initially see those vectored objects in black while the system is catching up and rendering the type layers etc. In that case, just waiting will see it corrected, but a 3550 x 8800 pixel banner file I delivered to a printer recently, took ages to render on the printer's slow system.
If you expand on your problem, I amn sure someone will try and help.

When I convert a word document to a pdf, it shows up as a firefox html document

Recently I reloaded my acrobat pro and ever since when I convert a word file to a pdf, it shows as a firefox html file. Why?

Hi chief grunt,
It seems that the pdf ownership is taken over by Firefox.
Right click on the generated file and select 'Open with' > Choose Default program.
In the list of Programs that appear select Adobe Acrobat and click on 'Apply> Ok'
You can also check the setting in Acrobat > Edit> Preferences> General> Defalult pdf handler

Thank you in advance....
amt

Created a pdf file showing a graph generated with CL_GUI_CHART_ENGINE

Hi Experts!
Please, anyone has already created a pdf file showing a graph generated with CL_GUI_CHART_ENGINE??
Could anyone help me with this requirement?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards

Hi,
I searched and found another solution, because with the code from the link above I got everytime a short dump, maybe I did something wrong.
The solution works with Adobe Form
1. I used the class cl_igs_chart_engine to create a chart with my data and customizing to get the binary data of the image.
2. Convert the binary tab to xstring.
3. You can use this xstring on the Adobe Form to display the image.
Maybe the following tips are useful.
*How to get the data of chart you can see in the class
CL_TIME_CHART_SIMPLE (use cl_gui_chart_engine for the chart but class cl_igs_chart_engine for saving the image)
*How to bind the image to the importing parameter (xstring)

Why does the Windows 7 desktop theme interfere with PDF's showing inside Firefox and how to fix it?

Windows 7
Firefox 28.0
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (my default PDF viewer)
I have the browser set to display PDF's: "Use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox." This works fine for a while, then it stops working. I get a white page instead with a pop-up window: "Adobe Acrobat" in the top left corner, a blue question mark in the message field and an OK button on the lower right corner. Clicking the OK button does nothing. Changing the desktop theme image to "Windows 7 Basic" magically cures the problem. After changing the desktop image back to the personalized image, the PDF's will continue showing for a brief period, then they will stop again until resetting the theme to "Windows 7 Basic" again. Can this problem be cured permanently?

Export to PDF- Colour Setting-------Convert to Destination Issue

Have recently synchronized all colour management in adobe CS, after creating new output destination profiles for printing press. All seems well and good when photoshop files are in an kept in RGB with original source profiles. They convert to destination CMYK profile successfully.
However if any of the images are in CMYK with a profile embedded, the end PDF does not convert these to new profile.
According to the info that appears in pop up info when you hang cursor over 'Convert to Destination(Preserve numbers' on the export options for PDF, it says that any image with a profile will be converted to destination. This does not seem to be happening, its almost as if the image has not got a profile attached, in which case it should then preserve numbers. I went back to double check file to see if this was the case, but the profile is definitely embedded. The only thing that rings slight alarm bells is that i the link info for profile in Indesign, it says NA (Not Applicable).
Can some prepress work flow expert and colour management guru please help.

Doh!!! I am about to answer my own question, I have resolved this issue.
In my colour settings in indesign in the CMYK box in the Colour Management Policies
I had 'Preserve Numbers (Ignore linked profiles)' checked. I have now changed this to 'Preserve embedded'
I get it now! I was afraid to use preserve embedded in case it did not change on the destination. It seems it does. I got the terminology the wrong way round. I hope this has helped somebody else other than me.
Thanks all!!

PDF documents show black pages or black images

Why do some PDF documents show black pages or black images when opened in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

On my regular tablet I have 9.4.5 and have not had problems as you describe. I am sorry that I can not play with that version this week as I do not have that machine available. For others that might be able to check the problem out, it might be useful if you post a sample page of your PDF for others to look at. Just enough that demonstrates the point. If you cannot do it with a page from the document you have, if it would be possible to post something similar to get at the point. If you are successful in creating a problem page, then it might be easier to figure out the problem.
