Placed Illustrator PDF has extra white space

Illustrator artwork saved as PDF, and placed on an InDesign page comes in with extra white space of around 1 1/3 mm on all
sides. I can't figure out what this unwanted white space is or how to avoid it. Can someone please tell me how to avoid the extra white space.

in which case - i can only apologise for the incorrect advice.
I've never had any problems with eps files - providing that the artwork is tidy.
And I've found loads of problems printing a placed pdf through a digital rip.
I'll leave it down to trial and error... and wish the best of luck.
cheers

How to extract ALL text on a line, including extra white space, from PDF?

I have written my first scripts to parse thru PDF files and successfully locate the beginning and ending of text portions that I wish to copy/extract. For example, one of the scripts reads thru PDF files and locates patterns that allow me to copy/extract a lengthy Title that spans several lines on the page. My remaining problem is that sometimes the text I wish to copy/extract has tabs or lots of white space between the words, and I need to retain ALL the "white space" between words. Basically, I am successful at using getPageNthWord(j, i, false) along with "Quad coordinate sets" to get a word-at-a-time for all the words on the multiple lines but it seems to be skipping over the tabs and extra white spacing beetween the words. Another way to say this is that I need to extract/copy a full line at a time, including all white space, instead of being limited to just a word at a time.
Can anyone help me with an algorithm to extract/copy text, not just the words but also including tabs and other extra white space characters? Is there some type of Regular Expression I should be using, or maybe some additional parameter used for getPageNthWord that would retain all the extra white space?
Thanks in advance,
Ted L

Did you try setting the bStrip parameter of getPageNthWord to false? It will
preserve some of the whitespace, but not all of it.
As far as I know, that's the only way to do it via a script.

Extra white space in Firefox, not IE

Hello. I'm new to Dreamweaver and am having an issue I can't
figure out. I was hoping someone might have insight into where my
problem is.
In the following site,
http://www.firststepshr.biz,
it previews as designed in Internet Explorer. However, in Firefox,
extra white space (or blue background on the home page) is
appearing above and below the Flash header. I can't, for the life
of me, figure out why there's this difference.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, in advance, for the advice.
Jeremy

I don't see extra white space in FF2x.
If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines may not parse Flash links - your site will
not be
spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
You will have
to remake those buttons.
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons - and for
these reasons,
Adobe has removed Flash buttons and Flash text from the next
version of
Dreamweaver.

Why is there extra white space on below the navigation bar?

I am running Nightly 6.0a1, and for the past few days, there has been extra white space under the Navigation Toolbar, as though there is an extra empty toolbar. The only toolbar I have is the Navigation Toolbar. BTW, this happens w/ tabs on top and bottom. Here's a screenshot: [http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af162/cg2916/extraspace.png http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af162/cg2916/extraspace.png]

Do you see any toolbars listed in "Nightly > Options" that are visible but do have a check mark?

Extra White Space issue

Hi, I am currently building a website in Adobe Muse, and am really enjoying it. I have encountered a few differences between what I designed and what the site actually looks like and have been able to find solutions to all but one. The home page has just a header and footer and an Adobe Edge Animation. However, there is extra white space apearing underneath the animation (above the footer). Everything looks fine in the design mode, but even in preview there is extra space. I tried uploading it to our ftp, thinking that might be the issue (as the animation doesn't show in the preview mode), but the extra space is still there. I tried moving the Social media icons, thinking they might be causing it. I have looked to see if maybe there is a text box, or empty shape that is causing the discrepency, but I can't find anything. Any suggestions?
Here is the screen capture of the design mode:
Here is the screen capture of it in the browser:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Razorcs,
I have checked your file and the white space is coming from the page that you are calling in the iframe. I have seen that most browsers do not respond well, when the widht and the height of the iframe is specified in percent.
As a fix you have to give manual width and height to the iframe and that should take care of it.
For example, try something like 412px, which is the height of the edge content,

Why is there extra white space after exporting to JPEG?

After exporting an *.ai file to jpeg using 150 ppi and 5 for compression, I have extra white space below the artwork. This has happened in two files after exporting.

Urthie,
What about the Artboard, is that aligned to the Pixel Grid (it is if the size is a whole number of points/pixels and one corner is at X=Y=0 or another set of integer values, otherwise not)?
Edit: Cross posting.
Congratulations, some things are difficult to spot (and guess for others); your finding the solution is the best happy ending.

Saved PDF files have white spaces

When I save a Aperture created photobook as a pdf file the file has a white spaces on either side of each page. This white space shows up in Aperture as black when I create the book and is how I wish to see it. Is there a way to fix this in Aperture? Or can it be done outside of Aperture if needed? I have never edited a pdf file so I am unsure how to proceed there if that is my only option.
The reason I ask this is because I am looking to get a large quantity printed from a printing service that will provide a more attractive printing price when large quantities are ordered. Would a printing service be able to fill in the white with the black that I see in Aperture. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Elliot

This could be as simple as selecting a borderless setting for the page size in the print book dialog prior to using the PDF drop down to save the book. It is hard to tell from your description. The printer and page size options for the real printer do affect the generated PDF file and white space issues are usually due to not having a borderless page size selected.

Conditional Build Tab for image leaves extra white space

I've applied the "Print" Conditional Build Tag to an image in
my online help. When I generate the help and view it in the
browser, extra white space is inserted between the steps. For
example, instead of the steps being:
1.
2.
3. etc.
They now look like this:
1.
2.
3. etc.
Why is there extra white space where the image used to be?
Thanks in advance for your help. Using RoboHelp7 -- WebHelp.
Bill

Probably there is a paragraph break or a space that you can't
see but is not enclosed in the conditional tag.
Check the html code immediately before and after the tag.

Why is there extra white space at the top of swf file?

I can't figure out how to get rid of extra white space in the browser at the top of a swf file. It looks fine when I preview the file, but when I do publish preview in flash/ try to incorporate in HTML, there's an extra 1/4" at top of window.

Do you have the html page (that you have the swf file embedded into) set so that there are no page margins? Your "body" tag should look like this…
<body leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" topmargin="0">

Issues in Application table - extra white space with and without scroll bar

1. There is an extra white space that comes after the last column in all the applications table, when there is no scroll lbar.

2. If the scroll bar comes up then, there is an extra white space on top of the scroll bar.
[http://www-apps.us.oracle.com/~jkodiyan/fusion/screenshots/appstablespace1.jpg]

It would be best to follow this up in your internal ApplCore / ADF frontend forum..

Extra White Space Around Header Graphic & NavBar

I have a header graphic and Navigation Bar (rollover images)
positioned inside a table. Unfortunately, there is about 1-2 pixels
of white space on the left, right, and top of the header graphic.
Same with the NavBar--there's 1-2 pixels of white space on the
edges (left & right sides). By default, cell padding for the
table is set to zero. If cell padding is set to zero, why am I
seeing white space between the edge of the graphic and the edge of
the table?
You can see what I'm referring to here:

What is causing this extra white space, and how do I get rid

Personally, I thought that the white border was a feature,
but... In
addition to the cellpadding, add cellspacing:
<table width="780" border="0" align="center"
cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

Remove extra white space from an image

I want to remove the extra white space in my image while writing it into a jpeg file using JPEGImageEncoder.
Any help is welcome .

ok.. Am having a JPanel whose width is set to 77000. But almost 60% of right hand side of the Panel is empty. I will create a BufferedImage from this component and then write it into a file using JPEGImageEncoder.
The empty portion of the panel is coming as a white space in the image.
Now how to remove this ? Was that clear enough ?

How do I remove extra white spaces in a string?

How do I remove extra white spaces in a string?
trim() removes before and after spaces.
If I have a string "This is Test"
I want to remove extra spaces between words and also I want to keep SINGLE space
between words. So output should be "This is Test". Thanks.

replaceAll dosen't support with my version. Actually this works..............!!!!!!!!! Thank you.

Printing PDF from IE with Adobe Reader - extra white space at top of page

I searched the forums far and wide but did not find this question or information to answer it. If it's out there, I'd be much obliged if you'd point me in the right direction.
A user of the web app for which I do tech support just called to say that starting today, whenever he opened a PDF from our app (in IE), the PDF looks fine on screen but when he prints the PDF, every page has extra blank/white space inserted at the top, which cuts off the bottom inch or two of each page.
No other users have called with this complaint, and if changes to our app or an automatic background Adobe Reader or IE update caused this problem, I would have heard from many users. I have a sneaking suspicion I have heard about this from other users, but since troubleshooting their IE or Adobe isn't exactly my job, I don't know if I did any more than advise them to talk to their tech support people.
I can't recreate his problem (read: it works fine for me), but I'd like to help him. Can anyone think of a reason why this might be happening?
Thanks in advance.

What I know: He's using Adobe Reader X. I do not know if it's the most recent version. The problem only exists with PDFs from our web app; he's not having trouble with other sites or with other PDFs.
I do not have a copy of the PDF; I can't give you the copy I downloaded when I logged into his account because there is proprietary confidential information on it, but everything worked fine for me and he's the only user with this complaint, so I believe it's related to his PC or printer, not to our app or to Adobe per se.
I sent him email asking for more information, but I do not know what printer he's using. I don't even know what version of Windows he's running.
Based on some info from Adobe, I suggested he make sure he's using the most recent version (10.1.2), try 'print as image" to see if that's any more successful, and make sure his printer drivers are up to date.
Given the nature of tech support, if he solves the problem or finds a workaround he's happy with, I may never hear from him again to know. I just wanted to know if this was a known issue and what recommended resolutions for it might be. Having not found anything on the web at large, I figured the Adobe forums would be a good place to ask.
Thanks for the time you took to answer.

PS to PDF files getting white space after 127char

We've had an issue come up at our shop recently that's stumped us. We are spooling .PS and using Distiller to provide PDF with high quality EPS. We noticed the issue as we have a data element that is read by PDFTRON API and the service is seeing line breaks after 127char. We open the same PDFs from Distiller in Illustrator and can view some random white space after the 127 char and at times beyond. The white space/line break are not present when copying the data element from the PDF into a text editor (Ultra Edit) and are also not showing in the .PS file???

Distiller Server product:
Adobe Distiller 9
Professional Version 9.4.2220
Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here-
