Problem Converting 8-Bit Palette Color Tiff Document

I have an 8-bit, palette color tiff file that I am trying to convert to PDF with Adobe Acrobat.  However, when I convert the file the palette color pages come out entirely black.  The tiff file looks just fine in Microsoft Office Document Imaging.  Does Acrobat support the conversion of palette color tiffs or am I doing something wrong in either Acrobat or in creating the original tiff file?

Here's how I turn ARGB to RGB - should point you in the right direction
public static BufferedImage stripAlpha(BufferedImage image){
     try{
     BufferedImage raw_image=image;
     image = new BufferedImage(raw_image.getWidth(), raw_image.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB); //CHANGE THIS TO TYPE YOU NEED
     ColorConvertOp xformOp=new ColorConvertOp(null);
     xformOp.filter(raw_image, image);
     }catch(Exception e){
     LogWriter.writeLog("Exception "+e+" removing alpha from JPEG image");
     return image;
}

  • Problem converting Word document with TOC table

    Hello,
             I am using MsWord 2003 and Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits.
    I have created the manual using Word, I set Heading (s) with 3 levels deep and created TOC in Word.
    It looks as designed. There are Titles, Subtitles and Subtiles (3rd level).
    TOC in Word works fine. No problem.
    In PDFMaker options under Bookmarks tab I set TOC 1 with 3 levels.
    However, after converting the whole document into PDF, the Bookmarks look very strange.
    They contain only Titles (no subtitles at all), each bookmark line ends with some number 3, 4 or 5 which I do not have idea what are they and those bollmarks point to the TOC page not to the page they should have.
    What is wrong and how can I correct that?
    Thanks,
    jas
    Added:
    I have read many of posts having similiar problems and tried all the suggestions posted.
    I tried:
    1.
    Reinstalling Adobe (removing all the related files), although I did not have any previous versions (and installations) of Acrobat in this computer.
    2.
    In Adobe PDFMaker  uncheck 'Enable Accessibility and...' option
    3.
    Setting printer to Adobe PDF
    4.
    In Word > TOC settings I checked the 'Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers' option
    Also I tried In Adobe PDFMaker not use TOC but to use 'Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks'
    The result was horrible. Double bookmarks, reversed Level 1 with Level 2 positions and lots of empty bookmarks (I believe created by empty rows in pages tables).
    Please note, that using the same Headings Word creates TOC without any problems!
    The only plus side was that some of those bookmarks came with correct links.
    Those bokkmarks were created using 'New Bookmarks from structure' option in Acrobat (after converting the document)
    /jas

    This is ridiculous!
    I think it is time for Adobe to admit there is a problem creating bookmarks in Acrobat, regardless the used version.
    Today I spent all day trying different combinations.
    In addition to my post above I installed and tested the same document in Acrobat Prof ver.8 and Acrobat X.
    The installation was virgin (no previous Adobe was installed).
    Same for MS Office. Virgin installation of ver. 2003 and 2007
    My document I copied and pasted in blank new Word document.
    Also I tried under Windows XP
    All that does not make any difference.
    The final result was always the same, as shown graphically in above post.
    Any ideas?
    What I do not understand, how such big corporation allows bugs like that.
    Convertning TOC (nice working in Word) cannot be a rocket science!
    If Word can create TOC from Headings flawlessly, why not Adobe?
    That TOC is correctly converted as TOC page in pdf document.
    Maybe Adobe should add the option to create bookmarks directly from it after the conversion?!
    As I said, it is not a rocket science.
    Onus is on you, Adobe!

    Problems converting PDF to MS Word document.  I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file.  I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure.  I attempted to convert the entire document and same result.  I specifically purchased the export to Word feature.  Please assist.  I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

    Hi sdr2014,
    I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
    So, let's try this:
    If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Is possible to Convert a 1 bit B&W Tiff image to a 16 Bit Greyscale Tiff image?

    Hi there,
    I am trying to convert a 1 bit Black & White Tiff image to a 16 Bit Greyscale Tiff image, Anyone out there know if it is possible and how it may be done? We are using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers, Chris

    Almost any graphic editor can do it, but it doesn't make a sense. The picture information remain the same - 1 bit. It has nothing to do with Acrobat.

  • Problem converting word 2010 Document

    I am having a problem converting a Word 2010 document using Live
    Cycle Designer ES2. I get the following
    error msg:
    Word (version XP onwards) could not be found
    Word 2010 is installed.

    I have just run into this issue myself.  At first I thought it might be that LiveCycle is not yet fully compatible with Office 2010 but after doing some googling it seems there are plenty of folks out there successfully converting Word 2010 documents to PDF.
    As a temporary workaround, you could try a copy of an earlier version of Word should one be available to you.
    If I'm able to find a solution to the issue, I'll let you know promptly.

  • Convert 16 bit tiff?

    I am trying to recover disk space and have been using the DNG Converter to save 10-20 percent on my Canon cr2 files
    I also have over 256 Gigs of 16 bit tiff files that I have outputted over the years from the HDR program Photomatix Pro,
    When I originally saved them I saved them at a bit depth of 16 so I would have more to work with for the final editing.
    So, on average the tiff  files are each about 100 megs, I am guessing that as a DNG , it would shrink that by about 75%
    DNG converter doesnt like the 16 bit tiffs and skips them.
    Is there another piece of software that can convert 16 bit tiffs to DNG
    OR
    Is there another piece of software that can batch convert 16 bit tiffs to 8 bit so I can dump  then them into the DNG converter without having to do each file one by one.
    Thanks
    Todd McIntosh

    I have not used it before to convert 8-bit Tiffs.
    I am only assuming it does so, because the program pulls the tiff files into the cue when you have them in the folder you are converting.
    When the program goes to convert them (16 bit tiffs) it gives me a status of ...
    "there was an error parsing the file"
    Perhaps I am incorrect in assuming the results would be different with an 8 bit Tiff.
    Hmmmm,
    Todd

  • Filter tiffs by bit depth, color space

    A way to filter tiffs by 8 vs. 16bit and also color space? If not doable in PS another means of doing it.

  • Converting CYMK to spot color?

    Alright, i just read the 'how to get help quickly', and will attempt to not let my panic show through too much:
    I designed graphics to go into my college's literary magazine. I used only two colors: brown and green (8dc63f and 603913). However, last week he informed us (the magazine production people) that RGB wasn't acceptable, since he was going to print in something called 'spot color'. Never heard of it before, but after reasearching, I think I have a vague grasp on it: basically instead of CYMK printing process, he's just going to have two plates, one with each color, and stamp them on the pages (like screen printing). That's fine, but I don't understand how it relates to my files. So we sent the psd files to the printer's "photoshop specialist" and then yesterday I was informed that there was no way to seperate the colors into pantone plates, and that either the book was now going to be blank (thankfully the cover is going to be printed seperately in CYMK so that's fine), or we could use clipart (!!thanks for discrediting a semester of my work), or I could learn to use illustrator and redesign the whole book by monday.
    I panic, obviuosly, because after downloading the trial version of illustrator I realized that it's actually nothing like working in photoshop (where's my tablet sensitivity? this is NOTHING like 'illustrating'), and at the end of last night's terror, this is all i could produce:  http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/2993/illustrator.jpg
    Now for reference, the image I originally made in photoshop looks like this (when placed on a brown background to simulate paper): http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/7015/photoshopf.jpg
    I am very confused, because I don't understand why the printing company can seperate the illustrator file into two color plates, but not the photoshop file. Both use the same colors (Pantone 375 and Pantone 161 C, I've learned). I have no clue how to save ANYTHING in 'spot format', the only difference between photoshop and illustrator is that I can click on the pantone swatch in illustrator.
    Obviously I'm ignorant and confused, and I appologise for that, since it only makes this situation worse (who knows if I'm using the right terminology).
    tl;dr:
    I have a whole bunch of psd files that need to be converted to something called 'spot color format'
    the images are graphics to be placed in an indesign file, not to be printed on their own, so really, they have to be in the spot color format.
    Is there any way in reality to maintain the quality of these images and convert them into 'spot color format'?
    I'm still trying to understand illustrator (I'm really a painter, not a designer -- wtf is a vector), but would love to convert the psd files I already have into something usable. the printer people didn't know how, I don't know how (or even understand the issue), but maybe you will?

    I tried this with the image you posted, so I can describe in detail the steps.
    From the image menu choose Duplicate to keep the original for reference.
    From the Image menu choose Mode > CMYK Color.
    In the Channels palette, delete (by dragging to the trash there) all channels except the Yellow and Black channels.
    Double click the icon of the Black channel and in the window that opens click on the color swatch, then in the next window that opens click the Color Libraries button, and when the next window opens type quickly on your keyboard 161, make sure the desired color is picked and press OK on this and previous window to apply.
    Repeat the same for the Yellow channel but choose 375.
    Select the 161 channel (former Black) and press Ctrl + L to open Levels. Drag the middle arrow of Input Levels referring to the original to get similar darkness (to me around 0.30 looks similar shade). Press OK to apply and close.
    Hold Ctrl and click on the icon of the 375 (former Yellow) channel to load its shading as a selection, and press Ctrl + Shift + I to invert the selection.
    Make sure the 161 (former Black) channel is selected and press Ctrl + L to open Levels again. Move the right (white) arrow of the Output Levels (at the bottom) until the background matches in brightness the background of the original (to me 150 looks similar).
    That's basically it based on my quick try with your image. This example should help you understand the basic idea and from there if you like, you can further play with the image if you feel you can make it any better with these two colors.
    Regarding Spot colors, the idea is that a printing press uses 4 color plates (in Photoshop represented as the four CMYK channels when the image is in CMYK color mode) to print all possible process colors by mixing these four colors (inks). Spot colors are pure inks in cans and each spot color (ink) requires its own plate. Sometimes people print 4 process color plus an additional spot color for achieving a special effect like gold ink or pure corporate color to ensure color consistency which may not be as good when using the four colors mix. But very often, spot colors are used for printing with less than 4 plates to save money and sometimes for artistic effect with special inks.
    Following the above example converts the CMYK document to Multichannel Color mode and you have only a few file formats available for saving in the Save As options. From these, practical ones are DCS and PSD files. Both are OK for printing but you may want to confirm with your printer. However if you want to place Multichannel image in programs like Illustrator or inDesign you have to use DCS.

  • HT1535 How do i convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC

    I am trying to sync selected songs to my Iphone 5 from my itunes library. I have recently taken my computer to be fixed and all of my music documents were taken off but the files were replaced shorty after. I re-downloaded itunes and it is up to date. My iphone is also on the ios 7.0.4. Whenever i plug my phone in to be synced it never goes past the "waiting for changes to be applied" step. While my phone was still connected i went to the "On this iphone" tab and clicked the autofill button and a message came up that said i must convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps ACC to allow the songs to be copied to my iphone. How do i do this? Also, once this is done will it solve my problem with transfeering my songs from my library to my iphone?

    Sid,
    With the device connected, click the Summary tab and you will see the "Convert higher bit rate..." option.  Set it to 128.  See picture below:

    When you report a problem you should always try to include as much relevant information as possible. Saying "it doesn't work, help me!" is not very helpful to us, because there could be a million reasons for it not working... What exactly happens when you try to convert a PDF to Word? Are there any error messages? How exactly are you trying to do it? Also, what operating system do you use? What version of Word? What exactly version of Acrobat? etc.

  • Problem converting from pdf to doc (encrypted or corrupt file?)

    Hi everyone.
    I need to convert my resume (pdf) to doc so I can make a couple of edits, and then convert it back to pdf. Problem is, I can't seem to do it. I first tried straight from the program in adobe by saving the file as a doc, but the file formating was way too screwed up when I did that.
    So, I then googled around, and found zamzar.com. I tried that site, but kept getting conversion errors which said "file may be encrypted, password protected, or corrupt". I don't have any passwords or encryptions on it, so I tried downloading other conversion programs, but I kept getting the same types of errors.
    I checkd the "security properties" for the file, and I don't have anything. I also don't know how the file could be corrupt since I don't have any issues viewing it, and when I sent it to my friend via email, he was able to open it, too.
    Ihave recently been using Acrobat 9 pro extended version that I downloaded as a torrent from a reputable person. I just wanted to get a feel for the program, but maybe this is the problem, since any pdf I've saved since I began using it, seems to have that conversion issue, but I figure there has to be a workaround. I really don't know what the issue is, or how I can solve it, and so I'm stumped.
    Any suggestions would be really great.
    Thanks a lot.

  • How do I converting a PDF to a grayscale document ???

    Is there anyway to convert a color PDF document into a grayscale document (reducing the overall file size?)
    I know in the initial creation stage you can scan images as grayscale with a low resolution, but I'm talking, after a high resolution color PDF has already been created and you need to simple reduce the overall size.
    I can't believe there isn't a simple way to do this, and perhaps I am just missing it. The help menu has truly been of little help.
    Thank you for you time and help...
