Tag color the pdf

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with tags on Mavericks. When I tag a pdf document the background changes from white to the color of the tag. Here's an example.
I tried to rescan the document but even if I save it with another name in another position it still looks like this. What can I do?

If you have any other apps for viewing PDFs, like Adobe Reader, I'd try uninstalling them.
If that doesn't fix it, I'd reinstall Preview, which you'd have to do by reinstalling Mavericks over your current installation. There is a way to extract just the Preview installer from the Mavericks installer, with Pacifist, which is at: CharlesSoft — software you always wished someone would write

When I scan in color the PDF won't open.

When I scan a document in 24-bit color or in True Gray with either Adobe Reader 10.1.4 or 11.0.4 It gives me an error message saying I don't have permission to write to that folder. This happens no matter what folder I try to write to. It does create a file of the pdf scan but the file won't open; the error message says the file is damaged.
However if I scan in B&W or in Gray with Error Diffusion everything works fine.
This problem appeared suddently with no apparent cause.

You may want to talk to whomever makes your scanning software. You don't "scan" with Adobe Reader. You simply use it to open files after the fact and it sounds like the scanner software is corrupting the files.

How to remove html tags from the pdf file ?

Hello,
Using BI publisher we are generating a pdf file. In the table, we have data which contains html tags. for example " test1<br> 2.test2<br> 3.test3<br> ".
In the pdf file we need to get the output like this
test1
test2
test3
But the output is as follows :"test1<br> 2.test<br> 3.test3<br> "
Any idea, how these html tags can be removed from the pdf file and obtain the required result?
Thanks in advance!!
Archana

Archana,
Can you wrap your code in <code> tags (use square brackets rather than angled ones), as the forum software is interpretting the HTML tags, in other words we can't see what you mean ;)
In any case, there are a few different options (guessing at what your problem is, without seeing the actual data), you could use htf.escape_sc or replace, regexp_replace etc to substitute the values before you output them to your PDF.
Hope this helps,
John.

How can I make Color Tags color the whole line?!

All,
I have been using Color Tags every since they first appeared on the Mac. It WAS great to color code files and folder of which I now have hundreds done that way. Problem is that now Apple has done away with the easy to see, easy to use colored line and replaced it with a stupid tiny dot. How can I get my colored lines back? Why does Apple keep changing things that have worked for year into things the are HARDER to use?
Thanks,
Dan

"Labels" has been changed to "Tags" in Mavericks. It appears that you cannot modify the appearance of Tags in Mavericks at this point.
There have been several threads on the subject in this forum, and the some of the suggested solutions are to revert your OS back to the system you had prior to Mavericks, or investigate 3rd party software such as Pathfinder, which allow you to modify the presentation in the finder -

Apple does not monitor these threads, so the only way to make sure way to make sure Apple hears your opinion on this is to give your feedback directly to Apple:

PDF PO Release - XML Tags for the Header and Line Attachments

Hi,
I request you to please help me in finding out the XML tags for the PDF PO Release Header and Line Attachments? I tried to get the XML data by running the 'PO Output for Communication' program with the parameter as 'Debug' but its completing normally without giving me the XML data in the log file.
Please help me in finding the XML tags for the PDF PO Release for the Header and Line Attachments.
Thanks,
Kunal

Hi Kunal,
Following syntax will get you the header and line level short and long text attachments.
--Header short text attachments
<?for-each:HEADER_SHORT_TEXT_ROW?>
     <?SHORT_TEXT?>
<?end for-each?>
--Header long text attachments
<?for-each:/PO_DATA/HEADER_ATTACHMENTS/LONG_TEXT?>
     <?.?>
<?end for-each?>
--Line short text attachments
<?for-each:LINE_SHORT_TEXT_ROW?>
     <?SHORT_TEXT?>
<?end for-each?>
--Line long text attachments
<?variable@incontext:PoLnID;'PO_LINE_ID'?><?for-each:/PO_DATA/LINE_ATTACHMENTS/ID[. =$PoLnID]?>
     <?current()[$PoLnID]/preceding-sibling::TEXT[1]?>
<?end for-each?>
Also note that, while running the program in Debug mode for a particular PO/Release the status should be INCOMPLETE, otherwise you won't be able to see the XML tags.
Thanks,
PS.

How to set the column width in the PDF exports of interactive reports ?

Hello,
I have a huge problem with the PDF export for the Interactive reports. I'm using APEX 3.2.
I have to produce a PDF report in landscape format that show 21 columns. My problem is that the columns have a ridiculous short width and that the text inside the columns do not wrap in the columns. So I get things like that :
Date Name
2011 Leina
I should see 2011-08-01 and the name Leinad Jan
I tried several things to format the columns, but none of the them has any effect on the PDF itself.
1) I used HTML code in the report query. It works well with the interactive report, but display the HTML tags in the PDF.
2) I used css to set the width of my columns. It works in the interactive report, but not in the PDF, the column width do not change.
It's like the report do not notice that my page format is Legal 14 x 8.5 (Landscape) and still believe it's 8.5 x 11 (which is "portrait")
Do you have any idea so set the columkn widths in the reports ?
Thank you !
Edited by: leinadjan on Aug 1, 2011 11:15 AM

To "remember" the column widths, add a mouse listener to the table header. Upon mouseReleased(), get the column widths and save them to your file. When the application starts next time, get the stored widths and set them using:
table.getColumn("XXX").setPreferredWidth(...);
By default, your columns are adjustable, but you can use:
table.getTableHeader().setResizingAllowed(true);

When saving a file in photoshop cc , using "save as" the pdf has clipping (color is not showing) in parts of the document.

When we save a file to a pdf from photoshop cc the pdf will show some clipping of color , as if the color disappeared on the pdf. what steps are needed so this doesn't occur?

Thank you for responding. Below is some info.
Please see the clipping on the "d" in Pastel Bond and White Bond and the rounded part of the "R" in 2 &3 Part NCR. We have had this happen on occasion with other files as well. Thanks for the help.

How to highlight the entire folder with the tag color, as before?

I've always highlighted important folders with colors, so that they stand out among others in a list for quicker access. Now in Mavericks list view, there is only a small color dot to the right of the folder's name (sometimes very far from the folder's name if the column is large). As a result, it is much harder to pick important folders. Is there any way to apply the tag color to the whole folder, as it used to be in all previous systems? Or at the very least, to move the dot to the left of the folder name within lists, as in Icon view? I really hope Apple did not remove this feature simply for the sake of design. Thanks.

mistersquid, S. G. is actually referring to the new Tags feature in Mavericks. This replaces entirely the Labels feature in previous versions of the OS, as far as I can tell.
Labels would let you apply a color highlight to a folder. It would appear as a color behind the entire row.
With Mavericks, however, Labels are gone and are replaced with Tags, which just puts a small colored dot off to the right of the folder name (and it's always like this, not just when you click on the folder), and some of these aren't distinct enough from one another (i.e. purple and gray look almost identical if you're scrolling through a series of "gray" folders pretty quickly—you may miss that one purple dot). Also, like S. G. mentioned, these can be pretty far off in your periphery if you've got long folder names, so this just adds another level of "hard-to-see-ness" (it's a technical term ).
I'm a graphic designer and I have been using Labels to colorize my job folders according to their current status. For example:
No label = job is open/in progress.
The next color schemes were more of a "stop light" effect, going from red to green:
Red = job is approved. Prep final files and send to printer/client.
Yellow = job is done. Prepare job ticket/calculate time for billing.
Green = job is done and job ticket is ready to go (hence the green color) to my co-worker for billing/invoicing.
Gray = job is finished/billed/closed (i.e., I've "grayed it out").
Purple = job transferred to another co-worker (i.e., I got too busy and they're working on it now). This one is a rarer color, and with Tags it's a bit difficult to discern one or two purple (more like a light lavender) dots in a sea of gray ones.
I agree with S. G. and would love to see a stronger means of identifying the status of a project at a glance reappear—perhaps as a selectable alternative to Tags in the Finder preferences (because I can definitely see how the two means of colorizing a folder could compete with one another), like a checkbox to the effect of "Use Labels instead of Tags," similar to the "Open folders in tabs instead of new windows" option.
Feedback submitted. Thanks, yodathejedi, for the link.

Maintaining Custom Colors from FrameMaker to the PDF

I tried posting this question under the "Color Management" forum, but got a lot of questions asking what printer, paper, and other settings I'm using...not really what I'm looking for...
Here is my original post:
I am having problems with my company's custom logo colors appearing in the PDF correctly. I created two color definitions in FrameMaker 10 (using colors Pantone 485 CVC and Pantone 281 CVC). These colors are mostly used for diagram callouts. Instead of printing these colors that I added, the default red and blue colors appear in the PDF.
I recently upgraded to Distiller X and Acrobat Professional X, thinking that maybe the older versions just didn't support those colors, and I am still getting the same result. FrameMaker is using the CMYK model.
I have a feeling that I just need to adjust some settings, but I don't know whether to adjust Distiller, Acrobat, or FrameMaker. Anyone else have issues when trying to use their company's colors? Any ideas on what might work? I don't think the problem is my screen settings because when I compare the Frame file with the PDF, the difference is obvious.
Thanks in advance,
Smitty

What is your CMYK color space (e.g. some SWOP)?
How are you creating the PDF?
Save-as, print-to, or Distill from .ps
Distill has a separate issue.
What is the delivery flow?
Do you need color-matching at a print shop,
or just in the PDF?
How are the logo colors coming in?
If they are from CMYK EPS, for example, they should survive the Windows GDI experience.
If any of your custom colors are text (not graphics), that's a more involved problem.
The fundamental problems you're facing are:
1. Frame has no color management; never will.
2. Windows had no CMYK for years, and now has a destructive fake CMYK.
There are usually work-arounds, 3rd party in extreme cases.

When inserting a .pdf of a document with a standard white paper color the test and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

When inserting a .pdf of a document into a Keynote template with a standard white paper color the text and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

Use the color fill option - select the inserted .pdf and assign a fill color of white to it using the Color Fill Menu on the Toolbar or the Color Picker Palette.
Good Luck.

Are the META tags in a pdf file visible by search engines?

I have several hundred newsletters in pdf format on a website.
I am in the process of entering META tag information (title,description,keywords) through the Properties panel of each pdf file. Is this information that will be visible by search engines in a WordPress site?
I ask, because every post in WordPress has a place to enter keyword tags. The problem I'm having in WordPress is that every post shows the tag information rather than making it invisible. If the properties information in the pdf file does the same thing, I won't bother with entering it again in WordPress.
Thanks to anyone who might have insight into this question.
Many thanks!

It is a high order probability that your SQL's report generator is creating the PDF, not Acrobat (which by design and EULA cannot be used in as/with server).
That the report generator outputs to an old-old version of PDF bears this out.
Wiki articles on PDF are very nice for those high level intro summaries.
To know / understand PDF you purchase and study the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1:2008).
Rather than "PDF validation" you may want to consider addressing the appearent root cause of the problem(s).
You can change the email2fax application to one that can deal with older PDF versions.
You can change the report generator to one that can output to the ISO Standard.
(Perhaps the in-use application can be configured to output to the current version of PDF (i.e., the ISO Standard).

Why is the program asking for a password to color a PDF. I changed the end to png and it was working and now quit

I was using PDF from a nonprofit i work for to color with PS Elements. It worked and then no longer allows me to drop files into PS Elements.
First I download the PDF's ....then I change the end from PDF TO .png and then drag and drop into PS Elements ....color .....
Then I put the files into DropBox and send them to iphoto to use in Doceri
FIrst the error message was about Parse
Now the message is that I need a password to use the program.
Friends all over the country can get this to work but it is NOT WORKING. I emptied and redownloaded dropbox.....not the problem.
We set up a dummy account and still could nto use.

PSE asks for a password when the file was password protected by whoever created it. You can't really expect decent results if you just change the extension of a file. A PDF is a very different animal than a png file and contains very different information, so it's not surprising your results are poor. That's the sort of thing you may get away with once in a while, but you can't expect to use it as a regular workflow.
Your whole procedure sounds extremely complicated for no particular good reason, at least as you describe it. It would be simpler to open the pdf in Preview and save a copy as a png if that's the format you need, but saving a pdf as anything other than a pdf will generally create a lousy looking file. I would just leave PSE out of the equation here, since you don't seem to be doing any editing with it.

Indesign problem : background color don't appears in the pdf...

Hello,
When I export the document to PDF, the background color doesn't appears in the pdf.
I'm a new Indesign user. Ihave searched every where, but i have not found tutorial about this problem...
EM2C

How did you implement this "background color"?
If, as I suspect, you changed the [Paper] swatch, then you aren't seeing a malfunction. That swatch is non-printing, and will not show up anywhere but in the InDesign editing environment. To add a color in the background, you must actually fill an object with the color and position it behind the rest of the elements in your layout.

Colors in pdf files changed when I open those files in the iPad.

I usually use iPad and Goodreader for reading journal articles.
There is one big problem reading the papers using iPad because colors in pdf files looks abnormal.
When I use my labtop and desktop, I can see whole colors in the pdf files, so I can see what is exactly happening in the images in pdf files.
However, I cannot catch any details from those images in pdf files when I use my iPad.
For example, some colors in the pdf files disappeared and whole images in the pdf files looks too dark.
I searched for some informations to solve this problem using google but I cannot find exact method.
Many people said about this problem for a long time (maybe three years ago?) but it has not been solved yet.
Can anyone suggest me how to solve this problem?
If this issue cannot be solved, I think I do not have any reasons for using my iPad.

You've just uncovered something I don't really know. I had naively thought the Central Database and Cache are one and the same (and that the [ Purge Cache ] button would clear saved settings), but now I'm not so sure.
I tested by changing the parameters of a raw file, and I didn't see any files inside the Cache folder change their modification dates, which is not at all what I expected.
I don't really want to press the [ Purge Cache ] button to check it here, because I want to retain my own settings. You could try it and see if it clears the white balance setting on a particular file.

Put all pdf tags to the root directly

Hello ,
I am trying to find a way to put all the sub tags into the tags root directly, for example:
i have this tag tree
0>ROOT
       1> PART
               = SEC
                    = <P>
       2> SEC
              =SEC
                    = <H1>
                    = <H2>
I need a way to extract (<p> , <h1>,<h2> ) from these parts, secs and sub parts or sections and put them into the root itself so it can be like this
0> ROOT
          <P>
          <H1>
          <H2>

Not possible.
Olaf Drümmer alludes to use of PDF Libraries to perform programmatic tagging such as you describe at the end of this video:
http://www.pdfa.org/video/matthew-hardy-taking-tagged-pdf-to-the-next-level/
Keep in mind that not all PDF Libraries are created equal. You'd need a front-runner (such as that available from Adobe).
