Shadows disappearing when PDF/X-1 made?

Ive created a file in InDesign CS3 with some simple swooshes at the bottom... All art was created in InDesign (not placed from Illustrator). I need to create a PDFX-1 file from this for a vendor.... However, when I do this, I lose the shadows on swoosh.
Ive exhausted my knowledge of what to do... Which has included:
- changing the drop shadow settings (normal and multiply, honor effects, knockout...)
- adjusting the shadow effects from object to fill
- export the graphic from InDesign as an EPS, then place this EPS
- restarting my computer, and using a coworkers computer
The one thing I have not yet done is try exporting the problem artwork as a hires jpg and then using that. (I'd prefer not to do this as another vendor is producing the rest of the kit and it would be a HUGE undertaking to modify all the other pages just to match the methods used for this page.)
Ironically, the low-res PDF accomplishes what I need perfectly, but of course at the sacrifice of the other images on the page.
(If only this vendor would accept my InDesign files - they look/print perfect!)
Thank you for any tips or insight you may have!

Are your colors process colors or spot colors? If you have spot colors interacting with transparency like drop shadows, you'd need to turn on overprinting to preview and print it.
One workaround would be to convert your colors to process colors.

Drop shadow disappears when I close title tool?

I'm using Premiere Pro CC. I have created a title in title tool and I have added a drop shadow. I can see the drop shadow when I still have the title tool open.
Once I close the title tool window the drop shadow disappears? I have tried different fonts nothing seems to work. Don't know what else to try?

It's not really a bug, it's by design. Hardware acceleration processes things differently.
If you're on CC, you can also leave hardware acceleration on and go into the Sequence settings and uncheck Composite in Linear Color.

Sometimes numbering disappears when pdf is created with Framemaker 8

For some reason the numbering disappears in the pdf created by framemaker. I am using framemaker 8 with all updates and distiller 7. I have tried other combinations with distiller 9 and no luck.
If anyone has had a similar problem, please can you let me know how you resolved it.
Many thanks in advance

If you're on XP, you need to install the Microsoft Hotfix for XP that

Table content disappearing when PDF'ing in FrameMaker 10

Recently when I've pdf'd a book in FrameMaker 10, some of the content in the tables is missing. It can be either text or graphics and usually occurrs towards the start of the book, but it won't be throughout the book. This doesn't happen with every book, only the odd one, but is very frustrating.
If I pdf the individual Frame file, it works perfectly, some of these files have been used in previous books and the books pdf'd OK with no problems. The computer is running Windows 7 with 12 GB of RAM.
Any ideas?

Actually, I had similar issue, but it was FM. Occasionally, when I did a Save as PDF or Save as with HTML, FM went on for a few moment then stoped saving with an error message along the line: Cannot create <some file name>... It kept doing the same thing for several tries until I deleted the previously generated files, then all would be well for a while, until the next time... I don't know it had anything to do with the generated files (PDF or HTML) being opened on a web-browser at the moment. Yet, as I remembered prior to that and verified afterward, in those times that went without such error, those files were being opened as well. Thanks!
PS: I'm using FrameMaker 11

Some top navigation disappears when site collection is made read-only

I have a publishing site that displays the navigation across the top the site, and shows all subsites and pages below. This all works (worked) OK.
I had to make the site collection "read only" for a certain purpose, and I have found that now the top navigation for two of the sites now no longer displays. All the rest (5 other subsites) are OK.
There is a "tab" that displays that takes me to the root page (/Pages/default.aspx) of the two subsites in question, but none of the pages below it display in the navigation. If I take off the "read only" status of the site collection,
they re-appear in the navigation.
Any ideas about the cause of them disappearing from the navigation when read only? The pages are not checked out.

Hi ,
It seems that the default.aspx page in these two subsites "Pages" library is created directly or copied through SharePoint Desinger root folder, for solving this issue, you can
check-out then check-in this default.aspx apge as major version, then when you set the site collection "read only", the default.aspx and other pages in "Pages" will still appear
in root navigation dropdown for these two sbusites like other three sites, assume that you have set the navigation showing pages for these two subsites.

I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

Why the window setting the printing disappeared when I try to select the page number of pdf file

When I send the pdf file to the printer and try to select the page number to be printed by entering (e.g., 4-10), the page for setting up printing work suddenly disappeared. As a result, I could only print pdf files from page 1 to the end, if I want to print any document. I have no problem with printing word documents. Thus, it should not be problems related to printer, right ?
Your help is highly appreciated !

What is your operating system? Reader version?
You mean the Print panel completely disappears when you enter some page numbers?

Form fields disappearing when combining PDFs

I'm having a curious issue where form fields that display properly in a one-page PDF document are disappearing when the document is combined into a larger, multi-page PDF document. The individual page (created in Acrobat Pro 8) has 12 rows of checkboxes that show up when the document is opened in Acrobat Pro 8, Pro X, or even Preview. However, after being combined into a 150-page PDF (with Acrobat Pro X), the top three rows of checkboxes have disappeared (and this occurs across all of the programs I just listed). I've tried re-doing the offending page in both Acrobat 8 and X, and replacing it within the multi-page document (again, trying both Acrobat 8 and X) and once it's combined into the larger PDF, those top three rows of checkboxes always disappear. I'm at a loss.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting this?
- Mac OS 10.6.7
- iMac 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo / 3GB RAM
- Acrobat Pro X (or 8)

I'm combining them by using the "Combine Files Into a PDF" feature in Acrobat. I've done this countless times before with no issues -- this is the first time I've seen this happen.

Shadow on slideshow box disappearing when published or in preview

Hi. I have a shadow on slideshow box and it disappears when I preview it. Does anyone know why this happens? You can preview my site that's under construction here:http://engagingfans.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
thanks!

After exchanges with Liz in the Typekit support team that suggested the text was displaying correctly according to the CSS defined in the published site, I think this problem relates to Muse CC 2014 Paragraph Styles. Either I inadvertently used a style definition that BC overrode (I don't think this is possible) or there might be a bug in Muse.
Basically, the affected text used a Muse Paragraph Style called "Content Headline" which was defined using Open Sans Regular. For this particular instance I changed the paragraph text formatting to use Open Sans Light instead. So in Muse terminology, the Paragraph Style for the paragraph appeared as "Content Headline+" with the changed font listed as the modification. It appears that for whatever reason this modification is not picked-up when the site was published on BC and the CSS entries created.
I then created a new Muse Paragraph Style called "Headline - Page Intro" using the Light version of the font; so this was part of the default style definition Applied it to the paragraph and re-published. Problem solved as far as I can tell.
It will be interesting to see if this is confirmed by Adobe support.

FormCentral PDF export: Drop-Down Menu does not print when no choice is made

FormCentral PDF export: Drop-Down Menu does not print when no choice is made
I want to be able to print a blank form for the older clients who cannot use a computer. Form has a few drop-down menus and they only appear on the print out if an option is selected. The form was created on FormCentral. Can anybody help?
Sorry if i'm a noob, not much experience in creating PDF forms yet.
Thanks for your help,
Yon

Hi Perry
I am using the trial version of Adobe Acrobat and am using the provided FormCentral software to create the form. I find it very limited, but easier to learn. I am creating a financial needs analyser.
The section of the drop down menu is a selection from 1-5 (rating of importance for financial goals). I want to print out the questions and the empty boxes for people to fill them in by hand (e.g write 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5). When I leave a blank choice, no box is printed out. I write the questions in formatted text and leave the text/caption for the drop-down as blank, as it is difficult to set the margins correctly so various elements align (I pretty much have to estimate).
As said before, I may have been missing a massive part of the software, but I haven't used any training - just going by instinct so far.
Do you know if I can do anything about it?
Thanks,
Yon

All website PDF s disappear when I try to open. They go somewhere.Where and Why?

All website PDF s disappear when I try to open. They go somewhere.Where and Why? A green arrow shows.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

Text/image boxes disappearing when printed to PDF [CS2, Win]

Strange things are happening today: Text boxes and image boxes, perfectly visible in InDesign -- are completely disappearing when printed to PDF.
The first time I printed, everything came out fine. Then after I moved some stuff around and reprinted, things disappeared.
Any insight would be much appreciated.

Yes, that worked. Thanks!
Any idea why this happened?

Pages - PDF : why does the subscript or the superscript written in a table disappear when I export my pages file to a pdf file???

all is written in the question...
But it only disappears when it's written in a table!

Why bother using it?
Pages '09 works! A difficult concept for most I know.
