Save as PDF feature creates extra frame around the tables

I am creating a large catalog with black + 1PMS color.
If I use the Save As PDF feature in Frame 9, I get an extra line around the Price portion of MOST (not all) of my tables.  If I use the Distiller process, the extra line is not there, but the PDF file does not hold the color separations.
Has anyone else come across these issues or have any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Thank you,

If you are trying to use the new SaveAsPDF CMYK option, forget it. It is sorely broken in many aspects (just search this forum), especially when dealing with tables and OTFPro fonts.
Go back to an RGB based workflow (i.e. ensure that the "Convert CMYK Colors to RGB" option is checked in the PDF Setup) and use a third-party tool to deal with the results. Some choices would be:
- Acrobat 9 Pro has some even stronger pre-flighting and colour handling features now, but Acrobat 8was no slouch either
- Enfocus' PitStopPro is extremely powerful for fixing up colours: http://www.enfocus.com/product.php?id=855
- Grafikhuset's PubliPDF tool allows you to set up conversions for the RGB by printing to a queue and then post-processing the postscript prior to handing off to Distiller for PDF creation: http://www.grafikhuset.net/PubliPDF/
- Quite Software's Quite a Box of Tricks let's yuou do colour conversions: http://www.quite.com/box/features.htm

  • Fm9p237, probs with Save As PDF, turns *some* anchored frames blue

    I am using Save As PDF because have to create CMYK PDF. I know how to do that. The issue now is that FrameMaker is sticking blue boxes around only *some* of the graphics.
    They are all EPS graphics imported by reference into anchored frames. These boxes do not appear in the FM file.
    The boxes clearly are the anchored frame bounding boxes.
    Any ideas? Any switch I should set? Any ritual incantations that will appease the FM Postscript generator?
    Thanks for your help, Becky

    Hi Bernd  and Art,
    Yes, I am using spot colors. I did some more testing and here is what I found:
    Use Save As PDF in FM-->all colors except for spots are correctly converted to CMYK. Bitmap screenshots are also converted to CMYK. If I convert the  spot colors to CMYK SWOP  in Acrobat 9, using its preflight tool, the spots are all converted to the same CMYK values that they were assigned in Frame. BUT there are  random  blue boxes in the doc, clearly where FM for some reason colored the bounding box of an anchored frame or a table cell.
    Print to Adobe Printer instance in FM with the Press Quality job options-->All colors come out CMYK, including spot colors and bitmapped
    and there are no random blue boxes BUT the CMYK conversions of the spot colors are wrong.
    My choice: Save As PDF. I will just remove the blue boxes with Acrobat.
    I considered PitStop Pro and downloaded the trial copy,  but its userdoc is terrible and I can't figure out how to batch-convert the incorrect CMYK colors t. Can't find any good help on line either. Too much bother.
    Sigh. Adobe, are you listening? It's ridiculous that the company that produces Photoshop can't make CMYK color conversion work in Frame.
    TThank you, Bernd and Art. I appreciate your feedback very much.

  • How can I create a frame around a text?

    I think everything is in the title. I want to create a frame around a text.
    Thanks

    If what you want is a solid line around the text, set the text in a text box. In the Graphic Inspector click on Stroke and choose Line. In the little menu below that click the arrows and choose the type of line (or dots/dashes) you want. Choose the color (if other than black) and then the weight of the line— from the pt menu. Instead of line you can choose frame, but these don’t always look good with text. To allow some space around the text, go to the Text Inspector and adjust the Inset Margin to your liking.
    You can also set text in a shape by inserting a shape from the menu, double clicking in the shape and typing.

  • I had completed my iDVD project and burned a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the project and put a red frame around the opening screen. Now when I burn the project, it no longer has the opening frame. How can I fix?

    I had completed my iDVD project, a Wedding Slideshow with pictures and music, and burned it on a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the original project on my computer and clicked around and put a red frame around the opening screen that has the Wedding theme with music. Now when I burn the project to make more DVDs, it burns but no longer has the opening frame. It immediately opens to the iMovie slideshow. How can I fix so I can burn the entire project with opening frames?

    As Bengt suggested make a disk image of the successfully burned DVD using Disk Utility. Then you can burn copies any time you need one.
    In the future once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    You can then burn it to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an  horizontal format.

    How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an  horizontal format.

    Thanks for the quick reply.  I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging.  For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option.  Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar.  Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet.  Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.

  • HHow to create a keyline around the document perimeter

    Hey guys,
    I am trying to create a keyline around the document instead of using the crop mark. I would like to automate this task for each documents for any size I create. Does somebody tried to set up a applescript for that?
    I found a bunch of script about how to create a stroke for text frame but I don't know how to create a black stroke in the size of my artboard.... Help me please!
    Thanks

    Is this you asking?
    var doc = app.activeDocument, pages = doc.pages,
    width = doc.documentPreferences.pageWidth, height = doc.documentPreferences.pageHeight,
    oldRO = doc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin;
    doc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.PAGE_ORIGIN;
    for(var i=pages.length-1;i>=0;i--)
            var txfm = pages[i].textFrames.add();
            txfm.strokeWeight = 1;
            txfm.strokeType = "Solid";
            txfm.geometricBounds = [0,0,height,width];
    doc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = oldRO;

  • Firefox 4 - Opening in a new window puts a second windows frame around the firefox browser window

    Using Firefox 4 in Windows 7
    I have customised the position of tabs (Tabs on top) and which toolbar items I would like to see.
    The first window I open of firefox 4 always has the configuration as I set it.
    Whenever I open a new window of firefox either:
    # - Right-click a link to open in a new window
    # - Click a link anywhere (such as an email) to open a new window
    # - When a website opens a page in a new window
    Bad Results:
    # - The new window does not have the configuration as set in the main window (Tabs on top)
    # - The new window has a windows type window frame around the firefox window (see two sets of window controls eg. "minimise", "restore" and "close")
    # - The open page does not show the url - navigating to a new page within this window will not update the url :: strangely enough clicking the url page icon will update the url as it should be
    # - Sometimes when restarting firefox, it will open the first main window with the remembered tabs and then open approx 8 or so blank new windows as described above

    I have troubleshooted this issue and have found what I think is a resolution.
    The cause of this issue seems to be Profiles.
    Previously when running firefox 3 I had multiple profiles setup. when deciding to update to firefox 4 I removed these old profiles.
    When installing firefox 4 for some reason it used a "default" named profile, and this caused the problems I described above.
    RESOLUTION:
    Ran firefox.exe -ProfileManager
    created a new profile, it named itself "Default User" I then selected the new default and tested. The window behavior is now acting as it should wothout the above problems.
    I deleted the old profile and now it works, using the new profile.

  • Adobe Reader highlight tool no longer filling text, just creating a line around the text

    The Highlight tool in Adobe reader is no longer working as it used to.  Instead of filling the text, as it used to, the tool just creates a line around the text.  This makes the highlights much harder to spot.
    I'm running Win 8 and using Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.09.
    I've attached a screenshot to illustrate.  The way the tool used to work, they way I want it to, is shown by all the highlighted text in the document.  The way it currently works, is shown on the first line of text , where a portion of the text has been highlighted using the tool as it works now.  I just creates a yellow line around the text.
    I've checked the way the highlight settings are on both the old highlighted text and the new text and they appear identical.  Both the colour and opacity percentage settings are the same.
    Very frustrated.  Any help appreciated.

    Gilad D (try67) wrote:
    Very strange. I'm not sure what the reason for this behaivour is, but try right-clicking one of the previous highlights and selecting "Make Current Properties Default". Then try to create a new highlight...

  • Adding an extra line in the table control

    Hi All,
    How can we add an extra record in the table control after the user hits ADD button?We tried doing it by incrementing the lines field in the table control,but it is executing the PBO part again after hitting the ADD button.Any SAP standard program will be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Rakesh.

    Hi,
    I think you can do that by inerting new line to Internal table that used in your Table Control. Here the sample:
    TC_DATA = Your Table Control
    IT_DATA = Your Internal Table used for Table Control.
    In your MODULE USER_COMMAND INPUT, add this code:
    IF OK_CODE = 'ADD'.
      CLEAR: IT_DATA.
      APPEND IT_DATA.
    ENDIF.

  • HT4526 I have difficulty in hearing conversation around the table when many are speaking. Can I put my Iphone 4 3G in the centre of the table and tune it to my hearing aid to join in the converstion?

    I have difficulty in hearing conversation around the table when many are speaking. Can I put my Iphone 4 3G in the centre of the table and tune it to my hearing aid to join in the converstion?

    There are hearing aids that support a BlueTooth connection to a phone. However, to make that work, you'd need to put someone elses phone in the middle of the table, then call it from your phone which you had connected to your aids using BT. I can't imagine that the quality of a call over speaker phone would really be good enough to help, though.
    Best of luck.

  • How do I export a PDF without the print bleed extra "stuff" around the edges?

    I know my question wording sucks, but I didn't know how else to put it.
    I created a document in ID for print with a bleed.  When I export to PDF, the image is not cropped to the finished size of the page, but includes the excess background images that I extended beyond the page bounds for a bleed.  I am now trying to export a PDF that can be sent in email and will not be printed, and so I would like to export a PDF file that does not have any of that extra stuff (I have turned off the printer's marks) around the edges.  But my PDF has the excess stuff and a red outline around the actual page dimensions.  How do I export a PDF that is cropped to the correct page size (8.5" x 11")?
    I have attached the PDF I have created with the excess stuff and the red outline around the page size so you can see what I mean.
    Thanks!
    Bryan

    Hello,
    i have a problem exporting as a PDF also, i have done this before successfully and i have unchecked all the boxes to turn off bleeds etc, etc... however the bleed area is still coming through. I have tried saving the file under another name, closing down and reopening - nothing seems to work. I'd be very grateful if someone could offer some advice on this.
    Thanks!
