Report image shrinks when creating PDF

My company is using a PPM tool (Innotas) to generate a report that includes a pie chart. Recently,
for some users, the pie chart suddenly began shrinking when saved to a PDF file -- so small that it is useless. The users in question have the same Acrobat and Distiller versions as those for whom the pie chart is still printing correctly, and we are unaware of any other changes to any of the software involved that might explain the issue. I have searched this forum and found a couple of similar issues, but unfortunately neither of them were ever resolved. Thoughts? Thanks.

Dear fellows,
the problem is still present. My system:Windows 7 32-Bit Prof, MS Office 2010 Prof, Acrobat X Pro 10.1.1, Vision 2010 Prof, all updates installed.
Problem #1: Even the latest Acrobat X 10.1.1 version causes Visio 2010 to start with error messages, origin: the Acrobat Add-In. Therefore I de-activated the Acrobat Add-In, again, as in the past.
As I design grafics with Visio 2010, I mark them in the active Visio window, copy the marked parts and then insert them into my Word-Document. So far, so good and as I want it.
The (still present) problem: I can produce a PDF file using the "save as Adobe PDF", but the Visio drawing is incomplete and corrupt. E.g. arrows as line endings have disappeared.
PS: But using Adobes PDF printer sets the embedded Visio drawing correctly! But using the printer one looses some features of the "save as Adobe PDF" command.
Well, probably one day ...

Corrupt image formatting when creating pdf from embedded visio image in MS word

Hello, Using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard and trying to create a PDF file from an MS word (version 2003) document. PDF file created is fine except for an image (embedded visio diagram imported into word). When created in PDF, the image is missing many of the diagram labels, and other text boxes are in the wrong font and wrong location. I don't know if it's my Adobe Acrobat or MS Word settings that need to be updated.
thanks, NB

Images Disappear when creating PDF

When creating a PDF out of InDesign we are having issues with images diappearig when Postscript Overprint / Overprint Preview is on. When printing images also do not show up. When viewing in Reader Images do not show up. Has anyone run into this issue, we are running CS3 & CS4. Any help will be appreciated

Most likely cause is that the images are set to non-printing in some way, either inidvidually through the Atrributes Panel, or they're on a layer that is set to non-printing.

Ability to turn headings into graphics when creating PDFs

I would like the ability to convert the text headings and footers into graphical images whenever I create PDFs.
My reason for this wish is that when you search for a text string in a PDF, it is very annoying when you keep getting hits that occur in headers or footers.
Thanks,
Susan

Susan,
It would be much easier to convert the header and footer into a graphic
yourself. That way you could determine the type of graphic that would be
appropriate for your application---high def raster image, outline text, etc.

How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.

If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
          if ims is {} then return {}
          if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
          if i < 2 then return rest of ims
          if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
          if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
          return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
          local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
          set numitems to length of ims
          if length of ims < 2 then return ims
          set ims_shuffled to {}
          set nextrest to ims
          repeat until nextrest is {}
                    set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                    set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                    set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                    set numitems to numitems - 1
                    set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
          end repeat
          return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
          local imageSel, shuffled, i
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                    set fullscreen to true
                    if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                    end repeat
                    set fullscreen to false
                    return shuffled
          end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
                    tell library 1
                              if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                              end if
                    end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                    end repeat

[AS][INDCC] How to set Color Conversion field to No Color Conversion when creating PDF Export preset

How can i set Color Conversion field in Export to PDF dialog to No Color Conversion when creating PDF Export preset? i have done a bit of searching and have found where it has been recommended to set effective pdf destination profile to use no profile but it doesn't seem to be producting the expected results.

Yes, it seems that i had to make the change after creation, not while creating the preset. thank you.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CC"
     set newPreset to make new PDF export preset with properties ¬
          {name:"preset name", standards compliance:none, acrobat compatibility:acrobat 7}

Acrobat distiller keeps on quitting when creating pdf

Hi there, my Acrobat distiller 10 in OS X Mountain Lion keeps on quitting when creating pdf. Please help.

Hello,
1. Please try updating the Acrobat to 10.1.10 and then check the issue.
2. Go to Settings -> Font Locations. You'll see a list of sources that Distiller gets its fonts from. Make sure that the paths actually exist, delete them if they don't.
3. Try with different joboptions.

Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's

Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's. Where can I downlaod it and why is it suddenly happening?

OS? Version of ID?
This means that either you have an extra Helvetica Medium font installed and it's interfering with ID finding the T1 version, or the T1 version is damaged. I found this really old thread that explains it fairly well: http://www.asadesigner.com/22-indesign/2d812de56777cc90.htm
The good news is that it's probably only affecting the page information marks.

When creating PDFs from WORD 2010 I cannot get the TOC heading entries as hyperlinks

When creating PDFs from WORD 2010 I cannot get the TOC heading entries as hyperlinks. I used to be able to do this in WORD 2003. I tried to create a PDF from Acrobat by selecting File > Create PDF >navigate to the WORD file > select three checkboxes >
Any help with getting the TOC heading entries as hyperlinks?

Try to do it from Word using the ribbon.

Images changed to negatives when creating PDF

I'm using Creative Suite 4, OSX 10.5. I'm finding that on occasion, images in my documents are changed to negatives when I'm creating PDF files. I can submit more details here, but I thought I'd check quickly to see if there is an obvious answer that I may have missed.
Thanks,
John

Sounds like it might be an inversion caused by Windows RGB to Mac RGB. I have a haxie called Flip4Mac which inverts windows stuff to be displayed on my Mac.

White boarders around artboard when creating pdf in CS4

Hi,
have been trying to find solution for this issue for 4 hours now and im loosing my mind:)) ... so decided to ask some help from you guys.
Problem: im trying to create pdf file with black background in Illustrator cs4 and white thin boarders keep appearing to the right and bottom of the page. I have streched the background image so that its bigger than the artboard but white lines are still there when pdf is opened?!? I guess there is extremeley easy solution for this (kind a "you forgot to tick the box from x menu") but i just cant figure out .... so all the help is most wellcome!!!
Thank you in advance!
Jimi

@ Jacob --- you're half correct, in that it's a small bug, or smoothing artifact in the Preview application from Apple.
White boarders go away when you uncheck "Smooth text and line art" in Preview Preferences, under the PDF tab. Since that makes everything very pixelated, I don't recommend keeping that setting on.
Instead, consider installing Adobe Reader or using Acrobat Pro, where incidentily, the very same phenomonen can occur. In Acrobat Pro, you can also toggle "Smoothing" in the Preferences, Page Display dialog.
TIP: Preview works best with RGB PDFs, whereas if you are doing print production work, I would suggest using either Acrobat Reader, or Pro which is my preference because of the soft-proofing and print production tools.

XMP Metadata Error when creating PDF/A-1b

Hello,
I just started using Adobe Acrobat X for Mac to create PDF/A-1b documents from scanned TIFs. I created a script in the Action Wizard to 1) Combine Files into a Single PDF; 2)Downsample image resolution to 150 ppi (bitmaps to 300 ppi); 3) Recognize Text;4) Pause to find all suspects and make corrections to incorrect OCR; 5) Convertto PDF/A-1b (sRGB); and 6) Verify compliance with PDF/A-1b.
When I use the Action Wizard to to execute the script above I receive an error message stating "Metadata does not conform to XMP." However, when I execute each of the actions manually I do not receive the XMP metadata error. It takes a long time to execute each action manually, so I am hoping there is some way to make this full script work in the Action Wizard.
I have an open case with Adobe regarding this issue, but so far no solutions.

I do not receive an error when the "Verify compliance with PDF/A-1b" action is removed from the script. Does this action have to be performed separately to avoid the XMP metadata error?

Image shrinks when I pull it into my claim application

Hi, I've created some forms in Acrobat 8.1 prof., that are to be read by a state's OCR reader, but when i load it to my claim application, the image shrinks and the form fields are no longer in the position I need them to be in. is there a way to configure the document so that the image remains the same size??? Thanks to whomever may be able to help!!

How is the OCR working? Are you printing the file and then scanning?

Image Distortion when viewing PDF on screen

I work for a company that puts together presentations for clients. In the past we've always used PowerPoint, but are looking into pdfs as a cleaner, more elegant end product.
While experimenting with this process, I've noticed that images I use on my pages look distorted on screen. Images with transparency often have black lines between transparent and opaque parts of the image. Also, outlines do not have consistent thicknesses. These problems only seem to occur when viewing the pdf on screen. Everything looks perfect in the authoring program (InDesign) as well as printed, but our finished product is intended for on-screen viewing so that's where it needs to look its best.
I'm using Illustrator CS4 to create most of the illustrations and graphics, then placing them into a multipage InDesign CS4 document and export that as a pdf. Then I finish things up in Acrobat 9. I've tried saving the graphics in every format I can think of (that allows for transparency) and have not yet found one that reliably looks good in full-screen mode as a pdf.
I'm curious if anyone else has run into this problem or might be able to help me. Thanks!

We're having the same problem with legal documents that contain underlining. The underlining looks fine in the source document and the printed PDF. But, when the PDF is viewed online, some of the underlining looks much thicker than it's supposed to be. If the document is viewed at 175% zoom, it looks fine, but anything less than that displays the distorted underlining.
Our internal client is not happy about this, so we're looking for answers, too.
