PDF has white areas due to overprinting?

I'm printing from a clients PDF file and it has blank white area where one of the images should be.  When I turn on simulate overprinting the graphic appears.  Is there a was to do a conversion in this pdf so that when I rasterize it inside photoshop or send it to a rip that the areas don't come up blank? Thanks.
Marcus

I tried running various preflight analyze and fix settings and none of them make the white object print as it should, which is not white but a vector graphic.  But when I turn on simulate overprint the object does show up.  But when I try and rasterize in PS or send it to my Colorburst RIP I get white.  Idealy I would make the PDF myself from the clients Indesign file, but they are often just middle men themselves and have nothing to do with the file creation.

  • PDF has white gaps between images

    Hi,
    I'm getting white lines between InDesign rendered images when viewing them in Acrobat.
    ie. When I place a .psd file with trasparency onto another image and make a PDF, the area around the psd file has a faint white line.
    I've looked into it a bit and seen that these are called atomic gaps or something and will never show on print. Also that I can turn off 'Smooth Line Art' in preferences to remove them (which then screws up other areas).
    So the client isnt happy with an explanation of it, and would prefer a fix. One that makes everything look nice on his screen.
    Is there fix? A way I can make InDesign or Distiller render the whole image maybe?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    If you can't use PDF 1.4 (Acrobat 5) due to your service provider, then this is known as stitching and is only visible on screen. It does not effect final printed output.
    In Acrobats preferences turn off smooth line art (Preferences > Page Display > Rendering > Smooth Line Art). This may have a visual on screen effect on type etc.

  • After Preflighting a PDF, using Convert to CMYK, Flatten Transparency and Prepress Profile Convert to CMYK only the resultant PDF has a grubby halo along the edge of some white type sitting on an image. The type is part of the image.

    I am using a 27" iMac 3.2 GHz Intel Core 5, 8 GB Memory, running Yosemite 10.10.1. 
    The version of Acrobat that I am using is: Acrobat XI Version 11.0.10
    After Preflighting a PDF, using Convert to CMYK, Flatten Transparency (high resolution) and Prepress Profile "Convert to CMYK only" the resultant PDF has a grubby halo along the edge of some white type sitting on an image. The type is part of the image which is 300 dpi.
    It is like the image isn't really 300 dpi but has been artificially boosted to that to avoid being tagged by Preflighting, but when Preflighting the file it knows the original resolution.
    I have screen grabs which illustrate the problem perfectly but do not know how to post them, if indeed they can be.
    Any help or comments gratefully received.

    Without the files and possibly screen prints, it is virtually impossible to assist you.

  • My PDF has a half inch white border on the left when I open it in firefox

    My PDF has a half inch white border on the left, as though the margins were inset by a half inch. But when I open up the PDF in Adobe Reader or Safari, it displays with borders as I need them.
    For instance, the cover page, which is green, has a half inch border on the left.

    Firefox might be reserving space for the sidebar that shows the page selection.

  • Black Text Has White Halo When Save as PDF

    I have 12pt black text on a green background and when I save as a PDF, a white halo pops up under some of the text, but not all of the text. On the words it does it on, it is as if I had the same word typed in white text with black text on the top. If I flatten the image first, it goes away but the text losing quality.

  • All the white areas of my display are a rapidly flashing pink grid! What did I knock loose?

    I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15-inch. I installed a Seagate 1TB SSHD into the optical drive slot a few months ago. It stopped working so I removed for return. I closed the thing up, turned it on, and suddenly (almost) all white spaces on my screen are now pink! A flashing pink grid, to be precise. For example, white icons on my desktop have a few flashing pink artifacts, and most of the white areas on pages in my browser (Chrome) are almost entirely pink.
    I've opened the laptop many times before to install ram, HDDs, etc and I've never had any issue. FWIW, a few months ago the logic board was replaced by Apple due to the infamous graphics switching error.
    Has anyone seen anything like this before? Could I have knocked something loose? Touched the wrong thing? Shocked the logic board?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I have this exact problem - light gray is fine. Goes to pure white, and it raidly flashes a pink grid. Your post is the ONLY one I have seen just like it. And, I noticed no replies.   What did you do to remedy? Or, did you find out it was a fatal problem? Any insight would be helpful before I go spend a lot on diagnostics...

  • White area that appears on screen while opening apps.

    I had my original iPhone 4 replaced in December due to cracks in the screen, I am now on the 5th replacement and the last two have had this identical problem.  Sometimes when opening an app, there is an area on the top left side of the screen that shows a triangular white shape.  My last 2 have had this in the same area and look identical.  Does anyone know what this is or if I should replace it again? I have replacement coverage, so my original cracked screen phone is replaced at no cost to me.  I have received refurbished since obviously the 4's aren't in production any longer.  Every replacement has had a defect.  Now that I have had two in a row that are identical, I need to know if this is a serious problem or will cause problems in the future.  If I'm going to bring this one back, I need to do it soon, so if anyone has seen or knows anything about this white area please answer any of the questions you can, thanks- V
    if it matters, it's running iOS 7.0.4

    I forgot to add, it doesn't always show up, isn't associated with a specific app, and usually goes away fairly quickly, it does block the upper left corner and I can't see anything behind it until it goes away

    Hi,
    ahla.org redirects to
    https://www.healthlawyers.org/Pages/home.aspx
    ... its a mess
    eg. the login link is http://admin.healthlawyers.org:8080/_login
    any error message with "Restriction" in it is from Group Policy.
    what you can try
    Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"
    Trusted Sites icon, sites button, remove ANY reference to
    http://ahla.org or http(s)://www.healthlawyers.org (IE has security restrictions preventing navigation between sites of lower integrity).... Other userAgents do not use the same security model as MSIE.
    the https protocol (secure web sites) works in any IE security zone.... If a site uses https, you do not have to place it in the Trusted sites list. It should work (encrypt) just as well in the internet zone (default).
    Hover the mouse over the pdf/doc hyperlink... its uri will appear in the status bar or at the bottom of the IE window... note its address. IT MUST point to the healthlawers.org domain. It should also be using the same protocol as the current web page. If it
    uses the https protocol, check "Internet Options>Advanced tab, uncheck "Do not save encrypted files to disk"
    As I said.... it is likely that the above settings are controlled by Group Policy.

  • This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions... - Office 2013 (Windows 2012R2 RDS)

    Hello,
    We've got an Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Server farm for Multi tenant pursoses. therefor we've decided to use the following GPO setting: "Restrict Access to the Following Drives" in combination with the "Hide the following drives"
    for both settings we've set the C: drive to be inaccessible through regular browsing. This causes an issue when users, that open up their documents from an outlook attachement or an internet explorer webpage. Is there a way to get around the error message:
    "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer" or perhaps change the error.
    I've already been experimenting with the outlooksecuretemp registry and setting the temp/tmp environment variable to another location which then allows users to save in an temp folder but prevents the message, this then causes documents
    to get lost since such a location gets auto cleaned after logging off. Due to multitenant purposes i dont want to change 2 GPO settings mentioned earlier.
    I did how ever found the setting: "File open/save Dialog" (+ "Approved Locations") setting which prevents the error message but therefor causes other issues. Like beeing unable to press a library or explorer.
    Anyone got any suggestions on how to prevent the error message?
    Thanks!! And when more information is required please let me know so i'll try to explain the exact situation.
    Regards,
    Dennis

    I have the same issue as Dennis described. Environment is Server 2012R2 and Office 2013.
    "Restrict Access to the Following Drives" and "Hide the following drives" are set
    After the users have opened an attachement, a pdf for example, and then hit 'save as' the error message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this Computer. Contact your Administrator" occurs. Finally it
    showed the save as dialag and pointed to redirected documents.
    I've also tried to set the 'OutlookSecureTempFolder' to the value U:\ in HCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Security. Drive U:\ is mapped correctly.
    But when I have opened the attachment, the registry value has changed to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\....
    BTW: In a Server 2008R2 environment with Office 2010 the modified 'OutlookSecureTempFolder' worked like charm.
    Any new ideas?
    Regards,

  • Trying to knock out the white areas, is there an "easy" way?

    I created a graphic for a softball team that looks pretty traditional to how baseball/softball graphics generally look with the bold black lines and such.  I have a lot of white areas which are suppose to be knocked out so the shirts color can show through.  Currently, most of those white areas areas are white objects overtop of colored objects.  I know how to knock them out of the colored objects using the pathfinder tool but this time, I just have soooo much!  Its just twisting my mind trying to figure how to knock out of what layer and object and so on.  I know to convert all the text and strokes to fills which helps a lot, but is there any quicker or easier way to have all those white objects knockout the colored ones?  My brain is hurting with this one!

    Generally speaking knockout (or KO) means no printing, or white. I think what you want is for the elements that are colored "White" or 0,0,0,0 or 255, 255, 255 (RGB) to change to [None]. You can select one object with the fill color White, then go to Select> Same Fill Color> and change them all to None. Another way to do this is to select all the White fills and change them to Overprint: Window> Attributes> Overprint Fill. You will need to go to View> Overprint Preview. Note some PDF viewers or rips might not accurately display or print overprinting White, so changing them to None is usually the better way. If you can post a screen shot of your work, we might be able to give you more suggestions.
