Pdf into Aperture has black background

Hi All.
I am importing pdf's into Aperture and the background seems to come in black in an odd way. These were originally produced out of AutoCad.
Does anyone know if there is a Mac workaround for this or if I have a setting wrong somewhere?
Also, can I get a multipage pdf into Aperture?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Guys.
It is supposed to have a white background.
The problem is that I am sorting images in Aperture to make a slide presentation in Keynote.
Perhaps I have to bring it directly into Keynote??
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jon

Using Photoshop elements 11 on a PC, when I put new photo on screen to edit the background goes to black which messes me up when making a thumbnail that has black background. How do I get the background to white as it was originally?

Using Adobe photoshop elements 11 on a PC. When I put a photo up to edit the background on the page goes black. I need it to go back to white to do a thumbnail that has black background so I can see it. How do I do that. It used to be white on the background. Don't know how I got it all black. Can you help?

If you mean by "background" the blank work area that presents when you open the Editor, then right click on it and reset to white.
If I have this wrong, please rephrase your inquiry.

PDF into Aperture or Keynote

i am trying to import pdf images into keynote or aperture. these are single page pdf's that i dragged out of a multi-page pdf in Preview. the original pdf was created in AutoCad.
these are coming up as either washed out or as having black backgrounds (which weren't there) and in both cases they are unusable.
does anyone have any recommendations for fixing this? i think i have tried saving out of Preview as tif, png. bmp etc, etc.
is there an Acrobat Pro equivalent for the mac that I can try and do something in by downloading a demo version?
i think this has to do with rasters versus vectors or with layers or something but i have to get out of the ditch in either case.
thanks for any help.

Some PDF Files Shown with Black Background and White Text - Annoying

Hi All,
Recently some of my pdf documents, stored on my phone, are displayed with a black background and white text. This is quite annoying. A few weeks ago I didn't have this problem. All of my pdf documents had a white background with black text.
I'm a new iPhone user without much experience with the device. I have the 4.3 version of the software and update when prompted. I use Files Pro, FileApp Pro and QuickOffice applications in conjunction with DiskAid.
If there is something I can do to correct the situation, please let me know. If the problem is with Apple, they need to fix the situation. My phone, which used to be a great device for storing documents, has turned into an annoying bug.
Thanks,
Mike

Imported .gif has black background

Hello All,
I imported a .gif with a transparent background but when I try to use the logo in cs4 premiere Pro it has a black background. I can't figure out how to take out the black background. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

What you saw in my example was the Program Monitor expanded beyond the Frame Size of the Assets. If you are seeing black surrounding, then there is probably an issue between the Project/Sequence Preset and the actual source footage. Now, this might take a bit of interpolation, as there are some major changes between my PrPro 2.0, and CS4, but it should be similar enough that you can fill in the blanks, if I am clear enough. Or, it could just be a difference between the GUI in CS4 vs my PrPro 2.0.
For me, Presets apply to entire Projects. For you, they can be applied to individual Sequences. If I need to find out what Preset was used (and any custom settings, should I have chosen Desktop), I would go to Project (in the Toolbar), and look at Project Settings. You should be able to do the same from the Sequence in the Toolbar. That should give you all of the settings. You can then Rt-click on your AV Asset and choose Properties. These should match in every respect.
Now to the GIF. When you drag it to a Video Track, higher than your Video Clip, you still get that black background? This is not when used on a Title, but just as an Asset on the Timeline. Are there any Effects applied to the Logo?
One more question: are you observing the display in the Program Monitor, and not in the Source Monitor. They look very similar, but are different displays. To get to the Program Monitor, if it is not Open, go to Window>Program Monitor. Note: it might be docked in a Pane, with other Monitors, or Panels, so you might need to find its tab, and click on that. To view in the Program Monitor, you will just drag the CTI (Current Time Indicator w/ the red Edit Line extending down from it) so that it is over both your GIF and also your Video Asset (on a lover Video Track). This will then display in the Program Monitor.
I did not alter the GIF that you attached, in any way - no Scaling, no Effects, no Motion - just Import and drag into position. I am puzzled why this is not working exactly the same way for you.
Now, Colin mentioned the Alpha Channel and its checkbox. Have you followed his directions there? I keep Use Alpha Channel checked, and had not even though about that.
Good luck, and please let us know what you find out,

Pdf into aperture

i am trying to solve an organizational problem where i have pdfs of published pages or work that are either one or two pages. this pdf format is very convenient for posting to the web in something like Scribd so that others can see it but it is very inconvenient to keep this imagery outside of Aperture. at the same time i do intend on keeping the pdf in a "published pdfs" folder.
however, i would /also/ like to include the actual pages from these pdf's in Aperture as they really belong with /other/ image file formats that also contain this kind of data.
is there a proper way to do this? for instance, should i break down all of the pdf's into individual pages that are image file formats (it would be great to know if i can do this in photoshop or acrobat and how to do it) and THEN import into Aperture? should i import all 1 page pdf's and somehow break down the 2 page pdf's into individual page pdfs (would be great to get a brief explanation of how to do this).
THANKS IN ADVANCE for any suggestions

Drag the pdf file onto the Aperture application icon (doesn;t matter if Aperture is running or not but you have to drag onto the application icon). This window will open:
Select Image Format as either JPG or TIFF, if you select PDF only the first page is imaged. So while this will import the PDF into Aperature remember it isn;t a PDF anymore but a collection of images.

Transparent Flash has black background

I have a video flash file created in Premiere Pro CS4 which I keyed out the background, exported as a FLV/F4V with an encoded alpha channel. I place the flash on a JPG in Dreamweaver CS4 and want the movie to run transparent, but I always get a black box surrounding my movie. I use the "wmode" as "transparent" in the flash dialog box, but this does not eliminate the black background around the movie. Any suggestions?

Transparency with *.flv's works for me when I place the background on the bottom layer in the Flash program project (*.fla) and place the video on the layer above, in the Flash program project. Publish this "Flash Movie" from Flash and cut and paste the Flash code from the "Published" HTML page into either the table cell or div on your final Dreamweaver page depending upon whether you are building an "old school" table based page or a CSS based page.
If you are creating one of those "floating" over the top, Web page movies, someone in the Flash or Dreamweaver forum should be able to help you with that.
Also, in Premiere, you should be working in a "Desktop mode" sequence with "Square pixels" selected.
Here are the settings to get the flv to encode with an alpha channel:

Toolbar button has black background in GW 7

Hi
My C3PO workds beautifully, but not in GW 7. The toolbar button has a
black background in GW 7 but when I run it with 6.5 or under, it works
fine.
I am also calling Documentum components from the GW client and some of
these forms have a black background in some of the textboxes. Very strange!
Does any one have a clue?
Thanks

Hi
Ok I found it. You have to make the background of your image red. This is
somehow used as a transparent colour in GW 7.

After Update Cisco Prime Infrastructure from 1.3 to 2.0 imported floor plans has black background

Hello everybody,
we have updated cisco prime infrastructure from 1.3 to 2.0. When we now import a floor plan (autocad-file, dwg-format), the background from finally image, that is show in prime, is black. Previous imported floor planes has a white background. We also tried to import a previous imported floor plan again, the background is now black. Is there a possibilty to change the background to white? Thanks

Hi,
Look no further, these issues are related to know bugs. It seems that autocad files have multiple issues with PI 2.0, Only feasible way is to convert them to JPGs and import them. Lets hope these will get fixed to the level they where at PI 1.3.
CSCuj63017, PI 2.0 dwg(AutoCAD file) import reports Tailormade is for Demo use only
Symptom:
When dwg files are imported to Prime Infrastructure, they report
"For Demonstration Purposes only
Tailor made software"
Conditions:
Prime Infrastructure - 2.0.0.0.294
Use of dwg (Auto cad) files
Workaround:
None at this time
Further Problem Description:
CSCuj94500, Loading DWG floor maps on PI 2.0 appears in black background
Symptom:
On PI 2.0 when we try to import autoCAD .dwg file to map, the map appears in black background.
Conditions:
On PI 2.0 when we try to import autoCAD .dwg file to map
Workaround:
use 3rd party tool like Draftsight or AutoCAD Trueview to change the file to .jpg and import again to PI, after that the map appear in white background in PI 2.0.
Further Problem Description:
However, the same .dwg file when we imported it to PI 1.3 appear in map with white background.

ITunes 11 has black background with black text

I had previously set iTunes to use the dark grid theme. Now I've upgraded to itunes 11 but i'm stuck with cases where I have a black background and black text with no preferences option to fix it. (the same problem I had with the previous itunes version, even when i tried selecting a different theme it wouldn't change)
examples include the downloads window
And views like album view that the text changes color based on the album art, and the background is supposed to too but mine doesn't, so sometimes the icons/text will be unreadable. Like the close, play, shuffle, etc buttons in the screen shot below.
I have tried retinstalling iTunes several times between 10.6 and 11 to fix various bugs but it's never worked properly.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Very Big thank you All of you for your help !!! It's been an hour that I didn't know what to do to see which songs to chooses because of the grey typo on black background !!! Merci
En français : si vous visualisez les chansons d'itunes 11 en gris sur fond noir ou en noir sur fond noir et que itunes 11 est illisible donc, il faut simplement aller dans le terminal et coller cette ligne, cela réinitialisera les paramètres de contrastes d'itunes :
defaults write com.apple.iTunes high-contrast-mode-enable -bool FALSE
Enfin sauvée après une heure de galère à chercher partout comment changer la skin de itunes 11 alors que c'était en fait un bug d'affichage !!!

PDF has black background

When I import a PDF, all of the text areas are black. Images are fine. Same with more than 75 PDF files. Perhaps I am doing something wrong?

Please don't think my tardiness in answering is lack of interest. This is an on-going 'background' project here in the office as we attempt to post some PDFs.
These are all taken from an 'ePaper' version of the newspaper where I write a weekly column. I wanted to make the columns available to people as PDFs, not as tiff, for all of the usual reasons. Should be simple, right?
But this is proving to be more difficult than I imagined.
I thought about converting to tiff and then using linked smaller images; people would click on the preview and download the pdf. But this can be onerous when you have a lot to do and a lot to keep doing. And it obviates the use of Aperture, which is how we handle all images; the workflow that I imagined involves adding the PDF files to Aperture each week, and then publishing to a gallery. Sweet.
Not sure what direction to go now, though.

PDFs into IMovie turning black

I am creating a architectural presentation using IMovie by importing PDF plans and using the Ken Burns effect to pan and zoom.
Importing is fine, but when I show photo settings, it suddenly renders and turns all the plans black. Have tried on other computers and same happens. PDFs when printed through Preview are fine, placing them in InDesign is also fine, just IMovie turns them black. Help, cannnot finish presentation with black plans

welcome dsmkic to the  boards..
allthough 'possible', it sounds to me a little .. 'exotic' to use .pdf, natively a print-exchange format, in a video edit app ... have you tried to convert those pdf with a pic processor (PreView, Photoshop.. ) into pic/tiff/jpg... and use THESE in iM...?

JAI - Saved image has black background (unless screen config is True Color)

Hi!
I'm trying to save images using JAI's codecs. Everything is okay if screen config is True Color, but if in 256 colors (or even in 65536 colors) the background of my images looks very dark...
Can you please have a look at the code bellow (and try it with some different screen configs). I'm really stuck with that issue; any suggestion may help...
NOTE:
- I've noticed this problem when using JAI's jpeg codec.
- The problem occurs with both JDK 1.3 and 1.4.
- The problem does not occur (only) if screen config is True Color.
- You must rerun the code after changing screen config.
Thanks for help...

MS Word (Mac) to Acrobat Pro XI pdf loses black background during the conversion.

I need to email a PDF with an all black background (white text on black background). But my MacBook Pro with MS Office 2011 creates an Adobe Acrobat Pro XI document (Using PRINT menu to Adobe Acrobat) in which the background is not black, but gray. Doesn't matter what resolution I pick, always the same result. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Hello,
No, there is no change in behaviour on my Windows XP machines, nor would I expect there to be given that there has been no change until V11.0.3 was released.
Given that you’ve reproduced the problem, albeit on a different machine, it seems reasonable to assume that the problem is related to Acrobat. If you can reproduce the behaviour, then you should be able to fix it.
The problem still exists with V11.0.3. I look forward to it being resolved shortly.
Colin.
