Problem with PDF 1.3-Export: Photoshop-Files with transparency over InDesign colored objects

Hello!
I'm using InDesign CS6.
I'v finished now a layout for a folder, and I put a photoshop-image with transparency over a InDesign-rectangle which I have filled with a cmyk-color in yellow.
When I export a PDF with the Settings "PDF X-3:2002" (with PDF-Standard 1.3) the Photoshop-image shows uggley jagged edges at the border to the InDesign-colored background. However, the Photoshop-images which are over another bitmap-image (as background), this images don't show this annoying edges.
When I export to PDF-Standard 1.4 the problem doesn't occor, however my printing-service requests PDF 1.3.
I know, the workaround for this problem is, to replace the yellow background-color with an bitmap-file with the same color, but is there any other option to get a correct result without this more time-consuming image trick?
I think it has to do with the transparency reduction which is necessary if using PDF 1.3. When I examine the PDF-File in Illustrator, this edges occurs mostly at the borders from the tiles in which the image is cut during the transparency reduction process. Although, if I open the rendered PDF in Photoshop this jagged edeges are visible, so it is definitly a render error.
I would be glad if someone of you has a solution for this problem, in the attachment is an image which illustrate the problem.
Best wishes

Find another printer.
End of problem. It really saddens me to think that these Luddites are
still in business making no effort to move into the 21st century.

  • Error in exporting photoshop file

    We have several copies of After Effects being used in the office.  Both myself and another user have encountered a problem saving as photoshop layers.  It gets 87% or so into it and then gives the error; "error in exporting photoshop file" in the info window.  Any thoughts?

    I don't think expressions should have any influence on teh matter. They are just another way of formulating an animation stream value just like keyframes. Icould think of a few things:
    - The new pixel aspect ratio handling in CS4. Due to the conversion, something may happen to the source footages.
    - Layer styles. this may cause a "cyclic use" of the Photoshop engine. Some of that stuff has changed quite a bit for CS4 to accomodate Ps Live 3D and teh new adjustment layer model.
    - Hardware accelerated effects. CS4 passes through OpenGL acceleration through all comps. Using an effect that uses it and happens to think it doesn#t need to fall back into software only mode, may cause a hiccup.
    - MediaCore. Similar to the previous, it uses hardware acceleration and may show weird behaviors, varying solely based on differences in graphics cards.
    In particular for the last two points I would think it is what makes the difference between your systems. One of them has not enough juice on OpenGL, so it's "safe". I'd definitely investigate along those lines.

  • Canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors

    canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors
    i have prfiled the mac and printer wiht colormunki and uplodated the profile sucessfully
    i set the printer to correct icc profile
    print out comes out same with glazed colors and missing tones/colors
    however when i use the same printer on windows and with light room, following same icc profile, colormunki calibrated profile, the print our are excellent.
    i have also tried using printer manage profile using the Mac and Aperture and get same poor prints
    can  you please assist and thanks

    I've a Pro9000 and also use Colormunki successfully.
    When I use Colormunki, I calibrate both of my monitors and the printer/paper combination. Colormunki saves the generated profiles to the correct places -- I don't load or change any profiles after that as that would mess-up what the Colormunki had just done for me, and this would likely mess-up the prints.
    Though I double-check the settings in the print dialogue, the choice for the printer handling things is already grayed-out. Colorsync handles it all just fine.

  • Problems with transparency/opacity

    I made an opaque rectangular object transparent, at 40. After I later reopened the file, the transparency slider for that object is now at 100, although it is still the lightened/transparent shade. Is there a way to recover the original opaque color?  In other words-- the color before I made it 40% transparent. I'm at a complete loss. I tried experimenting with swatches, but can't recapture the right tint. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you so much in advance.

    Select the object and open the Appearance panel. Opacity can be added at any one of several levels as shown below
    or even here
    or you can use this to clear the color entirely

  • Opening/exporting Photoshop files in preview

    I have been relying on Preview to open my Photoshop files, scale them down, and save out as PNG for my web workflow. Preview scales images beautifully and much better than PS' (CS3) Save for Web command.
    This workflow is now bust in Lion, as I've just discovered I cannot export to PNG when I have a PS file open, even if it allows that when it has for instance an JPEG open. What gives? I can export as TIFF, with Alpha, but also if I reopen that TIFF file, PNG is still not an allowed format if I try to export. Hopeless!
    Has anybody found a workaround for this, or has any other sugestion?

    do a spotlight search for Preview. can you find it? it should be in the main Applications folder at the top level of the hard drive. if you can't find it you can reinstall it from the leopard install DVD using Pacifist

  • Problem with transparent image

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having problem with embedding transparent image to PDF. Thin border appears  when viewing the document with Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat Pro and even with Foxit Reader. But there are no such border in the image.
    After some experiments I found that this border appears on the edge of fully transparent black and fully opaque white areas. And changing fully transparent black color to fully transparent white removes the border.
    Is this an expected behaviour of Adobe Reader or is it a bug? Could anyone explain in which other cases such artifacts may appear?
    Thanks in advance.

    It is related to the source from which PDF document is generated. Anyway if writing the image as is without pattern the problem still remains.
    Here is example without pattern http://www.filefactory.com/file/3g711cx94n1b/n/testImage_pdf

    @Naga Sai J – you cannot open an InDesign CS4 file in the previous version.
    But you can export an exchange file format for InDesign CS3.
    Go to File/Export and chose INX for export: "InDesign CS3 Interchange-Format (INX)"
    That .inx file could be opened with InDesign CS3.
    After opening the .inx file, examine it well!
    Some things might have changed (things regarding to newer or changed features from InDesign CS4).

  • Problem with Dynamically accessing EJB Class objects in WL 7.0 SP1

    I am trying to build a component which has the ability to instantiate and execute
    an known EJB method on the fly.
    I have managed to build the component but when I try and execute it I get a ClassNotFoundException.
    I know that the EJB I am trying to invoke is deployed and available on the server,
    as I can see it in the console, I also seen to have been able to get the remote
    interface of the object, my problem occurs when I try and access the class object
    so I can perform a create on the object and then execute my method
    The code I have written is below:
    private Object getRemoteObject(Context pCtx, String pJNDIName, String pHomeBean)
    throws Exception {
         String homeCreate = "create";
         Class []homeCreateParam = { };
         Object []homeCreateParamValues = {};           
    try {  
    //This call seems to work and doesn't throw an exception     
    Object home = pCtx.lookup(pJNDIName);
    //However this call throws a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
    Class homeBean = Class.forName(pHomeBean);
    Method homeCreateMethod = homeBean.getMethod(homeCreate,homeCreateParam);
    return homeCreateMethod.invoke(home, homeCreateParamValues);
    } catch (NamingException ne) {

    throw ne;
    } catch (Exception e) {
    logStandardErrorMessage(e.toString());
    throw e;     
    Any advice would be really appreciated, I'm fast running out of ideas, I suspect
    it has something to do with the class loader but I'm not sure how to resolve it

    Hello Joanne,
    Congratulations! I'm very happy that you've managed to fix your problem. It's
    always essential to understand how to package applications when deploying on BEA
    WebLogic. Usually, by throwing everything into an EAR file solves just about all
    the class loader problems. :-) Let us know if you have any further problems that
    we can assist you with.

    The class loader was the culprit which is what I suspected all along.

    Hello Joanne,
    As Mr. Woollen mentioned, I also believe it's a problem with the class
    loader.
    You need to be careful how you arrange your EJBs, because WebLogic has
    a specific
    method in which it loads classes in an EAR, JAR, and WAR file(s). Please
    refer
    to http://dev2dev.bea.com/articles/musser.jsp for more information about
    BEA WebLogic
    class loading mechanisms and caveats. Also, try printing out the various
    methods
    that are available on the object that was returned to you via reflection.
    For
    example, use the getMethods() method, which returns an array of Method
    objects
    that you can subsequently cycle through and print out the various method
    names.
    This way you can discover if the class found/returned to you is indeed
    the one
    you intend to locate.
    Hope this helps,

    I believe the issue is the home interface class for this EJB is not

    If you do:

    I suspect it will fail. Reflection still requires that the class be

    Hi Ryan,
    I also wanted to mention that if you do a "header search" in this
    particular
    newsgroup
    with the search query as "reflection", you will see many previousmessages
    regarding
    reflection and EJBs. I believe you could learn a lot from thedifficulties
    that
    others have faced and solved.I tried that and although there was a number of similar cases noneof them
    actually
    seem to fix my issue. Thanks for the suggestion though
    Are the EJBs that you are trying to access accessible via your
    system
    classpath?
    Try to avoid having them accessible via the main system classpath,and
    only bundle
    them in your appropriate EJB jar files (contained in an EAR file,for
    example).Maybe I should have laid the problem out a little clearer.
    I have a number of EJB's bundled up in a JAR file which is hot deployedto
    the
    server. Within this first JAR file is an EJB (SSB) component that
    needs
    to
    be
    able to invoke a known method on another EJB. This second EJB may
    or
    may
    not be
    within the first JAR file but it also will be hot deployed.
    The component trying to invoke the method on the 2nd EJB has to
    be
    able to
    create
    an instance of the 2nd EJB without actually knowing anything bar
    a
    JNDI
    Name which
    is passed in at runtime.
    I can get as far as doing the
    Object home = pCtx.lookup(pJNDIName);
    This returned a class with the name
    "com.csc.edc.projects.allders.httppostoffice.postman.PostmanBean_mp8qy2_Home
    Impl_WLStub"
    My problem seems to occur when I try and invoke the create method
    Method homeCreate = home.getClass().getMethod("create", new Class[0]);
    My code throws a java.lang.NoSuchMethodException at this point so
    I
    am
    unable
    to progress to the next step of :
    Object bean = homeCreate.invoke(home, null);
    So I can return the instantiated bean back to the calling client.
    Why am I getting the NoSuchMethodException, is is because I am gettinga
    stub
    back rather than the home interface and if so how do I get the truehome
    interface
    from the bean
    Thanks in advance

  • Problem with Transparency using PixelGrabbar.

    Well, im having a problem.
    Im creating a basic 2d game and using images, since im using alot of images and they are being drawn alot i use a class i call "GameSprite", basically it retrieves the file needed and then keeps it in a pixel array, but transparency dosn't seem to work with it. The reason im using this is because say i have 100 images to draw, it dosn't need to keep using the drawImage method because it draws all at once using a set drawing area on which the pixel arrays are possitioned, for example this is the drawing;
    public void drawGraphics(int xOffset, Graphics g, int yOffset)
            setImageConsumer();
            g.drawImage(drawingAreaImage, xOffset, yOffset, this);
    .private synchronized void setImageConsumer()
            if(imageConsumer != null)
                imageConsumer.setPixels(0, 0, drawingAreaHeight, drawingAreaWidth, colorModel, drawingAreaSize, 0, drawingAreaHeight);
                imageConsumer.imageComplete(2);
        }Here is the basic's of what it does, note i used URL just for a test if you wanted to test (image still is uploaded there);
    Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(new URL("http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u116/the_owner2007/testtrans.png"));
              image = setTransparency(image, new Color(255, 89, 255));
              ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(image);
              imageWidth = icon.getIconWidth();
              imageHeight = icon.getIconHeight();
              imagePixels = new int[imageWidth * imageHeight];
              PixelGrabber pixelgrabber = new PixelGrabber(image, 0, 0, imageWidth, imageHeight, imagePixels, 0, imageWidth);
                 pixelgrabber.grabPixels();If i use for example a JLabel and set an ImageIcon as the image the transparency works, otherwise i can't figure it out.
    Here is the setTransparency method;
    public static Image setTransparency(Image im, Color color) {
            //the color to make transparent
            final int markerRGB = color.getRGB() & 0x00FFFFFF;
            ImageFilter filter = new RGBImageFilter() {
                public int filterRGB(int x, int y, int rgb) {
                    if ((rgb & 0x00FFFFFF) == markerRGB) {
                        return markerRGB;
                    } else {
                        return rgb;
            ImageProducer ip = new FilteredImageSource(im.getSource(), filter);
            return java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(ip);
    If you can think of an alternative solution which would work better and possibly more efficiant please feel free to post that.
    Thanks.

    drawingAreaImage = component.createImage(this);Note that images created through this method are often times immutable. They will not respond to changes in the underlying ImageProducer. So "drawingAreaImage" is essentially a snapshot of whatever pixels "this" gave it.
    An exception to this rule is if you use MemoryImageSource and set the animated flag,
    int[] pixels = ....
    MemoryImageSource imageProducer = ....
    imageProducer.setAnimated(true);
    drawingAreaImage = component.createImage(imageProducer);This time, whenever pixels is modified you can call imageProducer.newPixels() and the image will be updated.
    On a side note, you are using a very old method of dealing with images (over a decade old since java 1.0 and 1.1). Are you doing this for compatability purposes? I would recommend you drop the ImageProducer/Consumer model entirely and stick with BufferedImages (which as been around since 1.2 and was the "upgrade" from the ImageProducer/Consumer model).

  • Problem with mouse-over value on a column chart (by Series)

    Hi.
    First of all thanks for any offered tip.
    I am having a problem with a column chart.
    When I move the mouse over a column it should show a small pop-up (or tip) with the column name (series name) and the value (series value). The problem is that it displays an extra '1' just like the following:
    SeriesName
    1
    X.XXX
    How can I remove the extra '1' and only show the name and the value ?
    The data is populated by series (manually added).
    Mihai.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the tip Shanthakumar KA.
    Yes. It looks like the '1' is coming from the X Axis labels. The chart that I have built does not require any labels on the X Axis, so this was not set (X-Axis labels: Empty). I tried setting this to an empty cell, but the '1' still appears in the mouse-over tip.
    It is very weird. If I leave the X-Axis labels empty, I still get the '1' displayed which is very annoing.
    Are there any solutions for this except the re-building the tip with a label a.k.a. '[customize the mouse over values|http://xcelsiusandme.blogspot.com/2009/07/xm-sample-7-customizing-mouse-over.html].'
