PDF import suddenly adds tone to white

Hi, I've been receiving the same basic files from a client for a few years now. The Illustrator (15.10.) file is saved as an Acrobat (10.1.3) PDF then opened in Photoshop (12.1 x64).
In the art is a 50% grey blur like shadow that's some imported raster shape. That blur is over the artboard, with no further tone, color or layers beneath it, so, theoretically, it's on white. Up until this current set of files i'd have no problems importing the pdf in Photoshop, flattening and saving, the blur would transition to white and everything was good. But now, even though when still layered it shows the white to be 0/0/0/0 in cmyk, as soon as I flatten it, that white area is now 0/0/0/3.
I've gone through the Illustrator file and cannot find an new elements, and when I take a previous PDF who's tif file is fine, and open that pdf in Photoshop, I get the same addition of tone. So this tells me something has changed in Photoshop, be it a setting or preference that's been altered.
Can anyone suggest any place to check?

It could be a number of things quite frankly that is creating a scum dot. Color managlement is highly suspect so poke around for about 5 hours and see what you come up with. That's pretty much the process in which you are given considering how well it's implemented across all Adobe products.

  • Add a blank White Box

    I did a search in help and could not find the answer to this. I would have though it would have been easy.
    How do I add a plain white box on a PDF form I am working on. I need it to cover some text that I have in there. I will then add a user fillable text box over the top
    Thanks

    You need to use the Redaction tool to remove text. Any other method can be
    easily over-turned by anyone with Acrobat and a bit of know-how.

  • Please Help Exporting PDF Portfolio and Black Background turns White

    I am creating a PDF Portfolio in Adobe InDesign and I created a black background using the steps below. When I export the document into PDF form, the background turns to white.
    I followed these steps to make my background black:
    "Window>Color>Swatches to bring up the Swatches panel and double-click the Paper swatch. Change the Color Mode to RGB and move the Red, Green, and Blue sliders to 0 to change the swatch to Black. Click OK."
    Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    You misunderstand what paper is for. Paper is quite simply the absense of ink or color.
    By changing it, all you've done is show what something will look like printed on black paper. If you really want a black background you'll need to draw a frame, fill it with black and place it on the master page on it's own bottom layer. Lock the layer to prevent any problems.

  • Cannot restore PDF Maker and Add-in to MS Word 2007

    Hi,
    I have Acrobat Pro 9 installed as part of CS4 Design Premium onto Win Vista + MS Office 2007 environment.
    When this was first done, "Acrobat" menu showed on MS Word's ribbon but this had disappeared and replaced by ScanSoft PDF Create 4 add-in menu, which was bundled with an OCR program.
    Unfortunately, the PDFs produced by this version of PDF Create isn't compatible with Auto Field Detection of Acrobat 9 to create fillable PDF forms so I uninstalled PDF Create and ran Acrobat installer in repair mode several times but the "Acrobat" menu doesn't get retored on MS Word and I still get
         "Missing PDF Maker Files   Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?"
    error message every time I try to convert *.docx file into PDF from Explorer using contextual menu.
    How can I rectify this?
    I'm using subscription version of CS4 Design Premium.

    Hi again
    I've since found out that Acrobat PDFMaker Add-in was in the disabled list of MS Office Word Add-ins.
    In fact, the situation is pretty much described in Solution 1 of http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401734.html and http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403561.html (thanks, CtDave!) so I followed the instruction to enable the Add-in.
    It was, however, not possible to simply enable the PDFMaker Add-in as it rejected my attempt to tick the box by indicating I have to do this as administrator (below is the stuff I get when running Word as Maki, i.e. non-admin)
    It gets more confusing when I DID run Word as administrator, the PDFMaker Add-in wasn't disabled (see below)
    There is no menu item like "share the setting with other users" so I'm stuck.
    I did go to MS Office Word Forum and saw people posting similar problems but it seems they are trying to send people to Adobe Forum...
    Any suggestions?

  • PDF Import filter for PM6.5

    I'm using PM 6.5 with XP. I've installed the PDF import filter as directed. Under "Place" PDF is still not recognized nor does it show as an option when further attempts to place. It also does not show in the list of filters under CTRL-"About PageMaker" in the Help menu.
    Requirements mention Windows NT. XP is not mentioned. Has anyone been able to get this to work with XP?  If so what might I be doing wrong?

    Sounds like the PDF import filter is missing, but it will only import very early PDF versions - 1.3?
    You can install the import filter from your installation CD-ROM using the Custom installation option.

    jpg and pdf formats don't support transparency. You need to use a format such as tif, png or psd that does.

    In my C# application, I want to import Console Add-in.

    Hi mark,
    You should use "Add to Library" to add audio files and other type media files. The "Import" functionality should be used to add playlists and data files (XML file, for example). However, it's also possible to add audio files, using "Import" feature.
    [This link|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301509] also explains when to use "Add to Library".
    Hope this helps!

  • Difference between Import and Add

    Just curious what the difference between Import and Add File/Folder in iTunes is? I know consolidate will create a copy of your files and put them into the iTunes library.

    Import is for audio files.
    Add to library is for MP3, AAC, Apple Aossless, aiff and wav files.
    I know consolidate will create a copy of your files and put them into the iTunes library.
    Close. The iTunes library what is in iTunes.
    Consolidate copies the files into the iTunes music folder.
