Setting Total Area Coverage (TAC or Density) in InDesign

Is there a way to set the Total Area Coverage (TAC or Density) in the Export options from InDesign?
I feel that the color management tools relate to elements created within InDesign and not placed images.
My printer requires a PDF/X-1a:2001 compliant PDF with a TAC of 240% maximum.
Is this possible using from within InDesign, or do I have to address 'Placed' images within Photoshop or Illustrator?
Thank you for your response, in advance.

InDesign's colour management can be set to affect placed content as well as native content.
Do you have (or can your printer provide, or suggest) a CMYK profile that has 240% TAC?

Total Area Coverage below 200?

Is there anyway to change the total area coverage to be below 200% in the output preview window?
We recently changed newspaper stock and I need to be able to see ink density warnings for 165% or higher. 200% seems to be all that Acrobat allows- Any way to alter this?

Hi hdones,
Can you please share the file with me at < [email protected] > so that I can have a look.

Maximum total area coverage evaluation in cs5

Can anyone tell me if Photoshop CS5 has a Total Area Coverage feature for CMYK images comparable to Indesign and Acrobat’s?

Thanks, CHMprepress and Chris, for the clarification.

Aequivalent to 'ink limit' (InDesign) or 'total area coverage' (Acrobat)?

Hello. I need to sort out parts of my image that contain an ink total higher than a certain percentage (like 300, 330 or so, depending on printer, paper ). I know I can use threshold to isolate the darkest parts, but that isn't as precise as the tools provided by InDesign and Acrobat. I'm quite confident Photoshop does offer such an option, but I can't seem to find it. I'm sure there's many who know. Apologies for the newbie question, and thanks.

Maybe what you are looking for is this...in the Info palette click on the little Eyedropper icons to get a dropdown menu that lets you set the eyedropper to Total Ink, which you can use to get readings off the image.
To set the limits,Edit>Color Settings. In the CMYK dropdown all the way at the top choose Custom CMYK. There you will get all the settings.
But I think (and someone else can correct me) if you have a usual Color Profile specified, this is not necessary.

Total ink coverage problem

Hey there!
I have this strange problem I cannot figure out. Any advice would be highly aprecciated. I'm making a magazine in Indesign and when I export the pdf (or print postrcript file and distill the pdf) then the total area coverage of inks of the images are way over limit when I check it in Acrobat.
I have converted all the images from RGB to CMYK using correct profiles. I have several different papers in the magazine, so I used Fogra27 (300 total ink) for coated papers and custom Swop for uncoated paper (260 total ink).
Then I preflight the document in Indesign then it's says all the ICC profiles are emedded in the images.
I even tried to export from Indesign with the overall color profile included. But it's the same problem.
I cannot figure out why the images are still over limit?
Thanks a lot!

Well what profile does the Acrobat file have embedded? Sounds like you are doing a conversion upon creation.

The conversion of the images with correct profile should avoid the total ink to be over the top, right? I have tons of images, so adjusting the channels manually for dark places is not really an option.
Thanks a lot!

>Keep the apps in the same colorspace as the Photoshop files you can sync your apps in Bridge is you own the suite.
Risto can't do that because in PS he needs to separate the uncoated and coated images using different CMYK spaces and place them in one ID document. The ID document can have only one assigned CMYK space.
The job really needs to be split into two documents one for the uncoated and one for the coated signatures then there wouldn't be conflicting profiles and all the previews will be accurate.
He can stay in one document but the placed files can't have embedded profiles, or the conflicting embedded profiles need to be turned off in ID. In that case the previews would be less accurate, but there wouldn't be unwanted conversions at output.

I only want to lower ALL images in my pdf to 270 total area ink coverage.

I only want to lower ALL images in my pdf to 270 total area ink coverage, without affecting anything else. I cannot import my customer photoshop color profile, as it is csf, not icc. Can I use or make some kind of action to take an entire pdf and lower all ink coverage in all photos on all pages to 270?

I see you’re in Tiger and I’m running Leopard. If I remember correctly, in Tiger it’s something like Print > PDF > Quartz Filter > Gray Tone. In Leopard, it”s
Print > PDF > Open PDF in Preview > Save As > Quartz Filter > Gray Tone.
If Quartz Filter doesn’t directly follow PDF there may be a menu that says Filter and then Quartz Filter. My memory, to quote Henric, is “porous.”

Subreport totals are not displayed correctly in Preview

I'm using Crystal Reports 2008. I have a subreport that sorts hiearchically. It is placed in the Report Header of the main report. Within the subreport, it has calculated totals for each hiearchy grouping. When ran, those totals are incorrectly displayed in the Preview; however, when I click on the subreport, those totals are displayed correctly in the preview of the subreport. Also, if I go to the subreport design, pretending I'm editing the subreport, then go back to the main report preview, those totals are correct.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Please provide help/advise. Thanks.

Shwu, The subreport does not process any value based on the main report. I also observed that if the group extends to next page, the totals are incorrectly displayed. I have both 'Keep Group Together' and section 'Keep Together' selected, but still the data extends to next page. The subreport is sorted with 'Hierarchical Grouping'. For example, below 2 lines are printed at bottom of a page:
North America
    Sales department
then Crystal prints the rest of departments belong to North America onto next page as:
     Marketing
     Consumer
         Government
         etc.
I was hoping if I could get Crystal to not print the group if there's not enough space on the page, but rather print on next new page, the incorrect totals would go away. Any idea how I would do page break for hierarchical groupings?

What setting changes are to be made??

Sun Java Enterprise System Support Forum and the Directory Server's "Release Notes" [See docs.sun.com] is a good place to find this information. Also upgrade to the latest DS5.2 Patch 4.
One probable cause could be that either the BindDN or the SearchBase used by your application no longer exists in the upgraded server's setup. Please check the access log on the Directory server to pinpoint the culprit. The corresponding entry will have "err=32".
Examples:

I listen to a lot of live performances (house sets that are from 1 hour to 3 hours long) when I start to listen to a set and then stop to do something else on the iPhone when I go back to start to listen to the track it has started from the beginning.

It sounds like either your hard drive or the SATA cable that connects it to the motherboard are failing. This could be heat related in your case, which is why you see it after it runs awhile. You can take it to the Genius Bar for a free evaluation. If you decide to test it yourself, I usually suggest moving the hard drive to an external enclosure. If it works there for awhile, the cable is probably the issue.

SQ01 (How to set Global Area as default)

Hi All
In SQ01, i find 2 environments in Query Areas - Global Area & Standard Area. Everytime i execute SQ01 transaction, it takes me to Standard Area, then i have to change it to Global Area & then select the user group. I would like to know how i can set Global Area as default & also a particular user group, so that everytime i run SQ01, it directly takes me to Global Area & the particular user group, so i can execute my query directly instead of having to change it each time.
Hope my problem is clear, await inputs.
Vivek

Hello Vivek,
You need to maintian some default parameters in your User master record.
Parameter ID :
AQB for User Group
AQW for Query Area.
Select the AQB from the drop-down and give your default user group in the parameter value.

IW31 how to set functional area as a default value?

Dear all:
Can anyone guide me, is any way to set "functional area" as a default value (t-code iw31 Additional Data -> Functional area)?
Thanks in advance.

Hello ,
The standard funtionality is set to default the Functional Area from the Order Type. I believe it is possible to change the default value for the Functional Area in Transaction KOT2. The PM order types should be selectable in this transaction.
I hope this information has been helpful.
Best Regards,

Set work area shortcut not working Premiere CC

Hello,
I'm having a weird issue, the set work area shortcuts aren't working on Premiere CC on my Mac. Nothing happens when I hit the shortcut combo,
which are set for option [ and option ] under the keyboard shortcut menu.
The shortcuts work as expected on Premiere CS6. Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Gerry

Hey Peter,
Thanks I didn't realize that Premiere had changed the default to work area off, I found it and can see my work area now.
Cheers,
Gerry

PPR - Additional attributes on existing Set type are not displayed.

Hi Expert,
I have requirement to add some fields to Product to display in PPR product tab. I have added attributes to existing Set type which is already configured to display on PPR - Product tab. After adding the new attributes, I regenerated Set type but still in CRMM_PPR I don't see these new fields although the existing attributes of set type are on screen.
Any idea what I am missing?
Thanks,
Cheers,

Can you show the relevant JSP code and set/get methods in the bean?
Sometimes this error is caused by capitalization. e.g. a request param of "myName" calls setMyName(). Also, your bean must have a no arguments constructor.
Also, if you don't specify an action,the form submits to the current URL so you should be ok. Are you sure that the JSP runs when the user submits the form?

IW31 how to set functional area as mandatory field?

Hi,
Can anyone guide me, is any way to set "functional area" as mandatory field (t-code iw31 Additional Data -> Functional area)? Thanks in advance.

go to the config:
SPRO: PM & CS -> Maint. & Serv. Processing -> Maint. and Service Orders -> Define Field Selection for Order Header Data (PM)
...Choose "Field Selection for order header data"
...toggle to change mode (use menu "field selection at the top left". Then find your field (functional area CAUFVD-FUNC_AREA) and put the radio button to "required"
This will make it mandatory for all order types. If you want only specific order types, use the influencing fields to pick only certain order types.
