Thin lines on PDFx1a  have printed on final job!!!

We recently produced a final print PDF for the front cover of magazine and all was well. No Lines as normal.
However, when this same PDF of cover was placed back into Indesign as part of a promotional poster, the final PDF appeared have some thin lines in 3 places. They were visible when PDF was viewed at 800% and above, and we initially thought that they were part of the 'Atomic Regions' set out by the flattening process.  Anyway, these lines have printed and now we are wondering how to avoid this in future
As I say it only appears to happen when placing the Cover version of PDF back into Indesign file and a new PDF is created.
Does anyone know how to get round this without rasterizing PDF and changing to a bitmapped image. After all we want to keep all vector items as original cover, as poster  is quite large.
I look forward to a reply
Many thanks,

  • HP LJ CP1525n - a thin line has appeared when printing A4 photo print

    When printing a colour photo a thin light coloured line has appeared running L-R full width when viewed in portrait
    There are also several shorter 15mm lines at about 18mm spacing on the RH edge of the print
    I have run page cleaner routine
    Any advice please?

    I'm having the exact same problem - I've PM'd you.
    I'm bumping this to see if anyone knows how to sort this problem, otherwise Dixons will be having it back!

  • Print Apps won't print with C510a eStation. Prints thin line at top of page.

    My C510a eStation printer will not print using the Print Apps.  It just prints a thin line at top of page.  Everything works fine until I print.
    All other print functions work.  It prints from computer via WiFi.  It prints when I send an email to it.  It copies via the Zeen.  It just won't print using the Print Apps.
    Does anyone else have this problem?  What is the solution?
    12/23/2010 3:00PM.  I just got off the phone with an HP engineer.  She said that the eStation is still in the TESTING phase and to call to report problems so they can improve the product.  (I would have thought the product would have been fully tested before being released to the public!)
    She had me reset the Zeen display by holding down the volume keys while powering up.  This erased everything that had been done on the Zeen by me and resulted in no HOME screens, which will have to be set up by me.  The only app at the bottom of the blank home page was Yahoo!.  Even the printer app was missing.  I had to move it from the app tray to the home page.  Now, I have to spend hours, again, setting up the Zeen.
    After the reset, the printer apps seem to work now.  The Zeen will copy using the printer app.  My computer still seems able to print and scan to/from the eStation.
    The eStation C510a eStation printer and Zeen display are very exciting.  However, they are not for someone not willing to spend the time to get it to work properly.  If you have a cell phone, be prepared to use up a lot of minutes while on support.
    The HP engineer said that it will soon have a new release of Android operating on the Zeen which will allow it to be faster.
    This question was solved.

    I have decided to return this printer to the store as it just has too many problems.  HP has essentially told me they will not issue updates to solve the problems.  I hate this, as I really loved the product.

  • Am I seeing thin gray vertical lines on my 8X10 print because I am using the trial version?

    Am I seeing thin gray vertical lines on my 8X10 print because I am using the trial version?

    No. First check your ink levels and try printing something from another program to be sure you don't need to run a cleaning routine for your printer. Also, if you have an older printer occasionally you'll see those lines if your resolution in ppi isn't a whole number (in other words 347 ppi works, but 346.983 makes lines). That's not so common nowadays, though, so unless your printer is quite old it's unlikely to be the cause.

    Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
    Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

    Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
    The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
    As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

  • I have Windows Vista and have tried everything! My Ipod Touch has Malfunctioned and cannot be recognized by Windows or Itunes! When I turn my Ipod on the white apple comes on and the 15 seconds or so after that a thin line comes on the screen above it.

    A thin line appears above the logo then the loading sign pops up and then the whole thing freezes! I read somewhere to hold the home button and then plug in the usb will help it be recognized by Itunes or help to restore it!

  • Gradient to transparent have thin line when stroke is 0 pt

    I have a simple rectangle with a gradient that fades to white and has an effect of multiply and opacity set to 85%. Where it fades to white the background image meets the gradient so in effect the rectangle color fades to transparent.
    However, even as I have no stroke, 0pt, and 0 opacity on stroke in the effects box there is still a thin line around the box, no matter what I do I can't seem to affect it.
    My text is in a separate text frame in a layer on top of this gradient rectangle. This gives me solid color on the text.
    How can I get rid of this line around the rectangle? What can give a thin line besides stroke?

    No, "Stitching" was not it. Exporting to later pdf-versions didn't help.
    When I revisited this problem as I resized the affected text box and the problem reappeared, I decided to cut out the text and delete the old box. Then I made a new empty text box and pasted the text into that. Problem gone!
    I still don't know what the problem was as I could find no stroke nor any effects related to this box. I'm going to open the original file later and delete everything but the affected box just to see if there is some setting somewhere not so obvious.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Drawing and some layout help for a simple control: thin lines and application start

    I am trying to create a new, simple control. The control should act as a grouping marker much like that found in the Mathematica notebook interface. It is designed to sit to the right of a node and draw a simple bracket. The look of the bracket changes depending on whether the node is logically marked open or closed.
    After looking at some blogs and searching, I tried setting the snapToPixels to true in the container holding the marker control as well as the strokewidth but I am still finding that the bracket line is too thick. I am trying to draw a thin line. Also, I am unable to get the layout to work when the test application is first opened. One of the outer brackets is cut-off. I hardcoded some numbers into the skin just to get something to work.
    Is there a better way to implement this control?
    How can I get the fine line drawn as well as the layout correct at application start?

    The test interfaces are already defined for you - the 3rd party session bean remote/local interfaces.
    It is pretty trivial to create implementations of those interfaces to return the test data from your XML files.
    There are a number of ways to handle the switching, if you have used the service locator pattern, then I would personally slot the logic in to the service locator, to either look up the 3rd party bean or return a POJO test implementation of the interface according to configuration.
    Without the service locator, you are forced to do a little more work, you will have to implement your own test session beans to the same interfaces as the 3rd party session beans.
    You can then either deploy them instead of the 3rd party beans or you can deploy both the test and the 3rd party beans under different JNDI names,and use ejb-ref tags and allow you to switch between test and real versions by changing the ejb-link value.
    Hope this helps.

  • Thin lines in pdf file

    Hi all!
    I have a question. The same problem in Illustrator CS6 (but it appears from a few version of CS back).
    I have document in an Illustrator. The document is generally for print, I don't using them to making website, so without using Slice tool.
    I need have separation pdf so first I print the document to postrscript usind pdf ppd. Always the same settings:
    1. General - only media size
    2. Marks and Bleed - none (i mean all off)
    3. Output - mode: Separations (host-based), and rest like is: emulsion: Up, Image: Positive, Printer Resolution: 71lpi/600dpi
    4. Graphic - none
    5. Color Managment - none
    6. Advanced - none
    7. Summary - none
    After printing I have a separation, pdf file. Always appears vertical and horizontal thin white lines, like document was preparing for website and sliced.
    Why this happend? Can I use some settings to avoid this situation? I tried a various setting but the lines always appears.. Help!

    It always was in a bitmap.
