Pdf/x-4 2010 pdf preset made via Indesign not compatible with Illustrator?

Hello all
I am working with a digital printing company and want to create a pdf preset that they can distribute to their customers to help make sure pdfs are properly made for their workflow. We've tested pdf/x-4 on their equipment and want to make that standard the base for their preset.
I made a preset in IndesignCC which shows up and is accessible in InDesignCC and PhotoshopCC, but is not accessible in IllustratorCC. It does not show up in the presets list in the "save as... pdf" dialogue. It does show up in the Edit>Adobe PDF Presets function though.
When I attempt to load the .joboptions file into Illustrator via that Adobe PDF Presets function I get the error "The preset is not recognized as a valid .joboptions file."
I noticed that IllustratorCC is using the pdf/x-4 (2008) standard, while InDesignCC is using the pdf/x-4 (2010).
Is IllustratorCC not yet compatible with the 2010 standard? If not, this is a serious wrench in the pdf preset workflow that allows the applications to share .joboptions files amongt themselves.
Any thoughts or help solving the problem of sharing that InDesign Generated preset with Illustrator would be much appreciated.

Hi jdanek, thanks for replying. PDF/x-4 supports transparency natively, supports multiple color spaces (this allows the vendor's rips to handle color conversion), and is an excellent option for their PDF print engine workflow. They want a custom variety that sets the resolution, bleed, etc. to give to their customers.
I did resolve the issue by making a new preset in Illustrator. That one is also available in InDesign and Photoshop but still, I'm curious as to why the InDesign-made preset is not compatible with Illustrator.

The Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.0 extension/Firefox extension indicates it is not compatible with Firefox 24.6.0 ESR. Where could I obtain a more up to date extension for Acrobat X Pro 10.0?

Hi - I am running Acrobat X Pro 10.0.0 on my Windows XP Pro SP 3 (32-bit) laptop and Firefox 24.6.0 ESR. When I check the add-ons manager of Firefox I am receiving notication that the Acrobat X Pro - Create PDF 1.0 extension is incompatible with Firefox 24.6.0 ESR.
Is it possible to obtain a more up to date Acrobat X Pro - Create PDF extension please?
Thank you and kind regards.

Many updates to 10.0.0 are available, so this is the first thing to try. I don't know if it will help, but there are vital security fixes there too.

Load, edit or delete PDF presets in CS6 InDesign not possible.

Load, edit or delete PDF presets in CS6 InDesign not possible, it says: The folder may be write protected.
How do I solve this problem? I also work with Adobe Acrobat Professional X.

OK.
Lets back up a bit and take things step by step so we all know exactly what's going on, and what you've tried and haven't tried.
First, what version of Windows are you using? The use simple file sharing is the very last option on my system (XP Pro) if you open Explorer and then use Tools > Folder Options > and select the View tab. This is also the tab where you will need to make hidden and system files visible, and I strongly recommend showing extensions for known file types as well. As far as I know this option (not to use simple file sharing) is available in XP home, too.
Second, once you've taken care of the first part, please do a search using the search in Windows Explorer, for *.joboptions under all files and be sure to select more options to search hidden and system files. You may find these files in more than one location, but the bulk of them will be in \Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Adobe PDF\Settings (note that this is the same directory as the one in the tree called "shared documents" -- I have no idea why the name is displayed differently in the folder tree than in the path in the address bar). Right click on one of those and select "Open Containing Folder" option.
The folder should open in a new window. Click the go up one level button in the toolbar (looks like a folder with an upward arrow on it), then right-click the settings folder icon and select either Properties or Sharing and Security (both open the properties dialog) and click on the security tab.
At this point, in all probability, the allow options are all grayed out because they should be inherited from the parent object. On my system the only user listed is "everyone" and they have full control. If yours is different, please let us know, and we'll go from there. If it's the same we'll try something different.

Long Term Signature & Advanced functionality of Reader (measurement) not compatible with the PDF/A

Dovrei pubblicare sul web e distribuire più di 800 file PDF di grafica vettoriale quasi tutti ottenuti da ArcView e Adobe Acrobat XI. (Windows XP S.P.3)
Tutti i PDF sono stati verificati con la "Verifica preliminare" di Acrobat XI risultando conformi allo standard PDF/A.
I file sono poi stati firmati con PDF Signer (utilissimo per la firma massiva dei PDF)
Riverificati con la "Verifica preliminare" di Acrobat XI sono risultati ancora conformi allo standard PDF/A.
I file sono quindi stati salvati abilitando le funzionalità avanzate di Adobe Reader (creazione commenti e misurazione) e incorporando le informazioni di verifica per la convalida a lungo termine della firma.
La "Verifica preliminare" di Acrobat XI ora indica che i PDF non sono più compatibili con lo standard PDF/A-1b (2005)
Problema di sintassi: Oggetto indiretto con numero di oggetto non preceduto da un indicatore EOL
Dettagli del documento:
Valori trigger
L'oggetto indiretto contiene un numero di oggetto non preceduto da un indicatore EOL.: vero
{ 28 0 obj }

Long-Term validation feature in PDF is not compatible with PDF/A as you have already found out. In Acrobat XI LTV info is automatically added to the signed PDF when a PDF is saved again (after signing). You need to turn this feature off (it is ON by default). Go to Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Verification->More and change the radio button for "Automatically add verification information for signed PDFs" to "Never".

The files are the same, regardless of OS version.
Most likely your file was corrupted when you transferred it.

OCR'd Acrobat 8 pdf's not compatible with Preview? (s p a c e s in words)

I recently came across an odd problem. When I use Acrobat 8's OCR function to turn an image pdf into a readable pdf, I get results that, at first, look fine: selecting text works, copy/pasting text from acrobat to other apps also works fine.
However, when I open this pdf in apple's Preview, then select text, then copy/paste it, I get garbled text: words with spaces between each character, etc.
This problem makes pdf's almost completely unusable to me. I cannot copy/paste bits of a pdf, I can't index the documents (either through spotlight, or another app I use, DEVONthink).
Now, saving as acrobat 7 does not solve this problem. Actually using acrobat 7 does work, however. I don't want to resort to that because acrobat 7 is quite a bit slower (due to it being for PowerPC) and this is particularly noticeable during something as memory-intensive as OCR.
Anyways, I can imagine this being a problem that needs to be fixed on the apple side rather than the Adobe side. furthermore, the more people start producing ocr'd pdf files in acrobat 8, the bigger this problem will become.
If anyone can help me find a way to save 'Preview-compatible' pdf's from within acrobat 8, that would at least be a temporary workable solution for me!

I use PDFs I've created on my macs (both have 10.5.1) on several windows XP machines at work. Apple's PDF solutions are different from Adobe, so the compatibility does not have to do with the availability of Adobe software. Still, one option would be to get "Adobe PDF" installed as a printer (not sure where it comes from -- maybe Reader, or with the CS3 suite) and then use that to print to PDF instead of using Apple's system technology. Still, it should be concerning that the system's PDFs are not being created properly. Do the PDFs open properly on other Macs? Have you tried multiple PCs?

ADE Not Compatible With Password Protected PDF Files

The version of ADE I downloaded will not work with password protected PDF files. What do I do?
Thanks.

ADE does not (yet) support files that use the Password Security handler, so you will want to use a different PDF viewer, such as Adobe Reader.

Mac PDF's not compatible with Windows

Has anyone had a problem creating PDF files in OS 10.5.1 that can be read by others? Specifically I have created PDF's both by "printing" and by saving as PDF using Preview, and the files open fine on a Mac (using Preview at at least), but when I send these files to a Windows PC they cannot be opened by using either Acrobat Reader 8 or ABBY PDF Creator, both indicating that the files are corrupted. I am assuming at this point that this may have something to do with the fact that there is no version of Acrobat or Reader yet compatible with OS 10.5 . Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

Saved PDF not compatible with PDFTK 1.12

We're using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.
If we create a PDF-Formular it is not working with the PDFTK version 1.12.
Unfortunately it is not possible to upgrade the PDFTK version on the server nor to downgrade the Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
Is there an option or work around to increase the compatibility?
Thanks

I'm not overly familiar with PDFTK, but I believe the problem is that the PDFs created from LiveCycle Designer are XFA based PDFs (the PDF is generated based on an XML template that Designer creates). Unfortunately it appears that PDFTK doesn't support XFA based PDFs (I'm a bit surprised by this as XFA has been around for more than five years).

Iphoto08 not compatible with RAW shot via Canon Powershot SD850 IS

Lifehacker posted an interesting article recently whereby you could enable RAW shooting mode on a consumer grade point-and-shoot Canon digital camera by using a free open source project called CHDK.
http://lifehacker.com/387380/turn-your-pointand+shoot-into-a-supercamera
I've installed this software on my camera (Powershot SD850IS) but unfortunately iPhoto is unable to upload RAW images captured on my camera. I'm guessing this is because RAW on a Canon SD850 is not supported (naturally, when RAW isn't a supported feature on my Canon).
Does anyone know if there is a way to upload these RAW pictures into iPhoto, or whether I will have to use a 3rd party app, like photoshop, to do my editing before being converting into JPEG before uploading into iPhoto08.
Thanks
VP

Adobe has an application that will convert the RAW files into DNG format which iPhoto can use. Get it here: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe .... You can check to see if it supports your Canon.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Yesterday Apple confirmed that the iPhone 3gs will not sync with Outlook 2010 Beta 64 bit. Both the Genius Bar and Apple Care confirmed this after I took my new computer to the Bar. One even said this would not be fixed until the retail release of 2010, not just the enterprise release. This makes the iPhone just about useless for me. The 32 bit did work well before I updated with new hardware and the 64 bit version of 2010. I hope it is fixed very soon. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed.

Adobe Presenter 7 not compatible with Office 2010?

Despit Adobe's claims of a new version capable of functioning with office 2010, I still see it will not detect Powerpoint in both x86 as well as x64 bits versions, yes, BOTH!!!!

Office 64 bit is definitely not supported. For 32 bit Office 2010, Presenter is definitely supported otherwise it will not even install
You can check for PowerPoint if Presenter got added to the list of disabled add-ins. If that is the case you can enable the same and will start seeing the Adobe Presenter Tab

Creating PDF in Outlook 2010 w/ JPG attachment - jpg does not attach

Using Acrobat X Std. w/ Office 2010 standard. Have an email message with a jpg file attachment, using the "convert to PDF" add-in, PDF gets created but there is no attachments. This works will .doc, .xls, .pdf attachments but we are having no luck with .jpg file attachments. Interestingly, i've had jpg files attach but it seems to be hit and miss. Most jpg's will not attach. I've got Acrobat Convert to PDF set to allow all attachments but still cannot get most jpg's to attach. Anyone have any ideas?

I found this exact same issue with Acrobat 9 & X and Outlook 2007 & 2010.
The Workaround: Drag/Save the message to your desktop and open it there. Then perform the conversion.
What I've Noticed:
It only seems to occur with JPEG.
It doesn't fail everytime, but if a particular message does fail the only way that has worked is the above workaround.
Outlook: Changing message download options has no affect.
Outlook: Changing mailbox caching has no affect.
Acrobat & Outlook: Full repairs or clean installs don't help.
Now the most odd piece to the puzzle... this only began AFTER we transitioned from in house Exchange to Microsoft BPOS.
