PDF has strange black outline at printers end?

Hi all
I am trying to send a PDF of a book to a printing company in Japan (clients choice!), and I am doing everything I would usually do, supplying with crop marks and bleed.
When they open the PDF it seems to have cropped many of the pages and put a black outline around it.
I insert a screen shot (note this is page 7.  Page 6 is NOT white, therefore it has removed the crop on the left side!)
Any advice gratefully received.  At my end, some of the pages do seem to have a black outline for some reason on my PDF but they fall outside of the crop marks.
Thanks!

  • Preview PDF has a black and white checked background

    Hi All.
    I am trying to look at a map in pdf format which when opened in Preview has a grey and white checked background behind the black lines. this makes it impossible to read. i realize that I can open this in Acrobat Reader I guess but does anyone know what this is called and why it is there or how to get rid of it/
    i realize it has something to do with layers or transparency but is there a good way to get a solid black or white background behind a pdf such as this in Preview?
    Thanks for any advice.

    When that student logs on go to the Universal Access preference pane and make sure the display setting is set to black on white, then go to the Displays preference pane and make sure it is set to millions of colors.
    Those are the only things I can think of off hand that may be causing the issue.

  • Strange Black Outline Box Highlighting EVERYTHING after 10.4.7

    Strange thing has happened to me since updating Tiger.
    Now in every app the active text or button is surrounded by a thinline black box. I can't make it stop.
    I originally did the upgrade via System Update, then repaired permissions as I usually do after an update. After I discovered the problem, I downloaded the Combo Update and tried again. No luck.
    Perhaps this might also be a factor--my 19 month old daughter got to my system and when I intervened I found that she had opened up Automator. Via random keystrokes and mouse clicks, could she have used Automator to screw up my Finder.
    Also, under the Apple pulldown, I now have two separate restart, shut down, and log out options. Is this true for everyone after this update?
    This is my first major OS X screw up ever. HELP?!?

    I just figured this out moments before reading your replies.
    I had been using an external sound card and was not wearing my headphones. Once I popped them on, I heard the synthetic voice and realized what had happened.
    Thanks, everyone!!

  • Interactive pdf has random black boxes appearing after video slides

    I am using indesign cs6 and I have a document that is 52 pages long with images, text and vidoes that are flv files. I export the doc as an interactive pdf. I open the doc in Acrobat and it plays fine. The only issue is that after a video slide, A random black box, the same size as teh video element is appearing on the slide after the video.
    Right in the middle. As if I have left the video element on the same slide.
    Not sure if this is a ram issue or something I am missing. I have checked the slides after the videos and the elements are fine.
    Please help. Thank you all.

    It's a long-time bug, doubt it'll ever be fixed. You can use Acrobat to change the annotation properties to 'disable when' = page is not visible, so the Flash Player instance is unloaded from the display stack - that usually helps. InDesign doesn't let you control that parameter.

  • Preview pdf links have black outlines

    Hi there, does anyone know how to remove the black borders that appears around pdf links in Preview?
    I created the pdf from powerpoint. The black lines around the transparent rectangle links only appear in Preview and not in acrobat for mac or pc.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have run out of ideas.
    Thank you

  • Indesign document PDFs with Black outline around pages ... and ...

    Hi guys
    I have posted this problem in the acrobat section but have thought it could be an indesign issue also.
    Basically I am PDFing an InDesign CC document with crop and bleed for a printer.  For some reason, on some pages, it adds a black/grey outline to pages, and in some cases seems to crop the page so there is no bleed.
    Any thoughts?  Original post with image can be seen here: PDF has strange black outline at printers end?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply Rob.  This is not the case - I know this as other pages in the document have there bleed correct (5mm all around).  I have resolved the black outline issue, but now have this bleed issue.  On my screen the PDF looks fine but for some reason when the printer opens it, they do not get the bleed on the left edge!
    Thanks

  • Trouble removing black outline box with menubar widget

    I have been tweaking this Spry menubar for weeks trying to iron out the kinks and it has been immensely frustrating!  I get it working in Safari and then the submenus are misaligned in IE.  Also there is a strange black outline which manifests itself as a thin black line in Safari and a large black outline box in IE.  Cannot figure out where that is coming from! 
    I think i've made a bit of a mess of it now.  Any suggestions to get it working properly would be greatly appreciated!
    http://www.residentgourmetcatering.com/storeze/index.html
    Thank you!

    What you are seeing is a border around the <ul> entity for the submenu. To get rid of it, comment out the CSS in the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css as follows:
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
    /*     border: 1px solid #000;

  • Please help -- SHADOWS APPEAR as BLACK OUTLINES when I EXPORT to PDF

    Hi all,
    I have designed a product catalog in InDesign. I retouched product in PS and dropped an "outer glow" and "drop shadow" Layer Style onto the products and saved them with a transparent background in a .PSD format. The files were then Placed into the InDesign document.
    The pages print just as they appear when I print from InDesign, however, I would like to be able to email this document out to retailers, but when I Export as a PDF, the images with shadows appear as if they are stroked with a sloppy/irregular black line in place of the shadows...
    Please help me resolve.
    Could it be due to the compression?
    Thoughts? Alternatives?
    Thanks so much,

    Bob,
    I'm sorry for the delayed reply.
    Here is the catalog I designed.  If you flip through it, you will see that some of the t-shirts have this black outline in place of the "outer glow effect"
    I am using CS3.
    My workflow was this:
    Brought photo into PS > masked out background > deleted selected to Transparent background > Placed graphic in new layer over Tshirt image > Saved file as TIFF > Placed TIFF into InDesign document > Export InDesign document to PDF
    Thoughts?

  • Black outlines around images in pdfs from Indesign

    I'm not sure if this is an Indesign problem or Acrobat. I have imported several photoshop files in which I have deleted the background around the figures. The background is transparent. When I make a pdf from Indesign, there is a black outline that appears, tracing the edge of the figures. Does anyone know what might cause this and how to fix. I have imported this kind of file many times with no problems.

    Check if they're RGB in PS. I had this problem recently when exporting to PDF. It didn't show in ID file but showed in PDF. I converted to CMYK, relinked, and exported new PDF and the problem went away.

  • Thick black outlines on .swf in interactive .pdf

    When viewing an interactive .pdf with a .swf embedded file, all the elements of the animation appear with a think black outline on some windows machines. 
    Anyone else have this issue?

    Placing a SWF into InDesign, and creating an interactive PDF is a bad hack, or as my friend Sandee Cohen said yesterday, a "kludge."
    Those of us who were initially excited about the idea have concluded that it's just not a good idea. The SWF file becomes like a movie file, and you have absolutely no controls over it.

  • How do I export a PDF in 100% black

    I am currently trying to send an ad to a local newspaper, and apparently when I export my document it's not 100% black, instead it has mixed CMYK values. How can I export a PDF in InDesign so it preserves 100% black for the printers? All of the black text in my document has the color Black which is equal to C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:100 , what is the issue? Do I need to have specific export settings for a PDF?

    Use the default PDF/X-1a preset.

  • Is it possible to export to PDF without a Return character at the end of every line?

    I am the author of a book whose first edition has been typeset and extensively amended in InDesign.  I now need to rewrite the first edition to produce a second edition.
    When I copy-and-paste from the PDF with which the publisher has supplied me into MS Word, I get a Return character at the end of every line, which means that text doesn’t automatically wrap and sentences are fragmented so that I get spurious grammar errors.
    I know that not all PDF files have a Return at the end of every line.  Is it possible to restrict Returns to the end of paragraphs when exporting from InDesign to PDF?  If so, what should the publisher be asking the typesetter to do?

    Thanks for your lightning-swift and helpful replies, Mike & Ellis.
    I don't have InDesign myself, so I know hardly anything about how it's used.  I'm just trying to research what an internationally-known publisher should already know how to do, but apparently doesn't!
    Following your suggestion, Mike, I have downloaded the trial version of Acrobat and exported the PDF to a Word file.  This has been moderately successful as there are far fewer spurious Return characters, just a few that I suspect may be hangovers from the typesetter having introduced soft returns in ID.
    As you've suggested Peter and Ellis, I'll suggest that the publisher asks the typesettter to export from ID to RTF and Text to see if that's even better.
