Two Color Pdf Output Problem - Continued

From yesterday's post, it was determined that my pdfs were in fact two color, but it turns out the printer is taking the individual pdf pages and marrying them up in printer pagination format using Illustrator. Could this be way the black is converting to RGB? What software should he be using?
Thank you,
Tony

Unproper Color Calibration settings can lead to this problem.

Two Color Pdf Output Problem

I'm new with InDesign coming from a Quark background. I created a 28 page booklet with CMYK cover and two color interior (black & PMS spot color)
I'm working in CS4 and my print vendor is CS3. I have provided him with both the InDesign file saved down to .inx as well as high quality pdf with no color conversion so that the spot color will print as is.
My print vendor is telling me that the black screens/gradients are separating as RBG. I'm trying to figure out if the problem is my inexperience or his. I don't know what more to do with the file? Please advise.
Thank you,
Tony

Okay, I'm back to this issue. Apparently the printer is taking the individual pdf pages and marrying them up to printer pagination using Illustrator. Could this be why the Black is converting to RGB? What software should he be using to maintain the two colors?

Report fonts mapping and PDF output problem(Easten European languages)

Hi experts,
I have such a problem.
If i run oracle reports(10g) via reports builder all layouts looks fine.
When i run them in PDF format via application server - report text and numbers strech out off frames, also textfields and text itself becomes bigger in size.
Aplication server runs over windows OS.
Uifont.ali file looks:
[ PDF:Subset ]
Arial..Italic.Bold.. = "Arialbi.ttf"
Arial...Bold.. = "Arialbd.ttf"
Arial..Italic... = "Ariali.ttf"
Arial..Plain... = "Arial.ttf"
Arial..... = "Arial.ttf"
"Times New Roman"...Bold.. = "TIMESBD.TTF"
"Times New Roman"..Italic... = "TIMESI.TTF"
"Times New Roman"..... = "TIMES.TTF"
I think the problem is with Lithuanian(baltic) letters in the text. If i do not map fonts in uifont.ali file i get PDF report without the
lithuanian alphabet letters, but in this case it looks fine(The same as in report builder)
After fonts mapping, i get my lithuanian alphabet letters, but text and numbers strech out off frames, changes the size and etc.
I put the example of my report uotput:

What else can i do to solve this problem?
Thanks for any suggestions

PDF Output Problem

I have a servlet that takes a file from the server, reads its bytes with the FileInputStream, and writes them to the ServletOutputStream. The types we allow are pdf, tif, doc, and xls. The only problem I am coming across is some PDF files won't come up with the browser showing a 'File is damaged and could not be repaired' error dialog. The pdf itself seems fine. We can open it in Adobe Reader, and drag and drop it into the browser. It only seems to occur when running it through this servlet and only some PDFs, not all. I pasted relevant code below. It seems pretty basic to me.
Thanks,
Karl
out = response.getOutputStream();
file = new File(ApplicationData.getVar("DocumentPath")+attachedDoc.getPath());
response.setContentType(mimetype);
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline");
// Get input stream for reading raw bytes
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
byte[] bytes = new byte[10000];
// Read in file and at the same time write the stream to the resposne.
while((in.read(bytes)) != -1) {
out.write(bytes);
in.close();
out.flush();
out.close();

Guess they are opting for something close to 8K
instead. Interesting.If by "they" you mean the reference in reply 7 above, the "they" is me. And my 8k value isn't very scientific. It's more like tradition from when disk blocks were usually 2k-8k. When accessing a disk, you may get improved performance when using disk block sizes or multiples thereof. For really kick a$$ performance (e.g. implementing a "cp" command), query the file system for its block size and use that unless the size is completely silly (statfs(2) system call in Unix gets the underlying block size).
When writing to a socket, the buffer size matters less. The Nagle algorithm will collect several writes to bigger packets, and the underlying network will require splitting up bigger writes.
Unless you are streaming lots of data over a gigabit net, your CPU will be able to keep the network card and the wire saturated at pretty much any buffer size. Maybe at less than, say, 100 bytes the CPU load will go measurably up. A couple of kB should be fine.

PDF outputs continually crash after editing an html source file

I have English and multiple localized versions of a RoboHelp webhelp project. I have created several PDF outputs for the localized versions. I can generate the PDFs fine when I don't touch any of the html source files.
However, I had to make a change to one of the html source files to remove a <dl> from the source file. After making the change to the source file in an outside text editor (Notepad ++), I went back to RoboHelp to generate the PDF, and the PDF output crashed.
The reason I was using an outside text editor is that when I tried to edit the <dl> HTML tags in RH, its HTML editor deleted all text within the tags being edited. There was no undo at this point. In anotehr attempt to use the RH Design editor, RH didn’t delete the <dd> or <dt> tags when those tag styles were changed to <h4> and <p>, respectively. RH inserted the new html wrapper inside the existing ones, instead of replacing it.
Also, during the PDF generation process, a Visual Basic error message will appear dozens of times stating that the application was interrupted. I must press OK to continue for each error message.
What gives with the PDF generation failing like this?

I hate to say it but it sounds like something you are doing in the external editor is not liked by RoboHelp.
It could just be the way that text editor codes the file. I use EditPad Pro and that has various options for text encoding. My guess is your editor is not set to what RoboHelp expects.
Aftr that what I would do here is create a new one topic project and recreate the problem, with the minimum of text. It may help you spot the code RoboHelp does not like.

PDF printing problems with Canon Color C3220

I'm having an issue with our Canon Color Imagerunner C3220.
When I send a PDF from Acrobat Professional 7.0 from a Mac to the
Canon I get a rule that overprints an image. The image should be
knocking out the rule. When I print from a Windows machine it
prints fine. The PDF also looks fine on screen. Our printer was
just upgraded to a C2 rip which I believe may be the culprit but am
not sure. Canon did some troubleshooting and says the problem lies
with the way the Mac interprets the PDF output going to the Canon.
These PDFs were made from InDesign CS2 and Distiller 7.0. Other
then sending from a Windows machine, does anyone have an idea for a
Mac fix?

I am seeing the same magenta cast (primarily in areas of yellow tones) when printing to an ip4000 on Photo Paper Glossy II using any of the Canon profiles (I've tried them all, one by one).

Pantone color bars in PDF output

Does anyone knows how to get in PDF output Pantone color bars? When you check "color bars" in "marks" menu in PDF output and save your work as PDF, you'll get CMYK color bars even if there's no CMYK color at all. I don't want to draw swatches and fill them with Pantone color to get those color bars. Any idea pls.? Is it possible at all?

Hello, I don't know the right answer.
I look also for a solution and have the same question as you "Does anyone knows how to get in PDF output Pantone color bars? When you check "color bars" in "marks" menu in PDF output and save your work as PDF, you'll get CMYK color bars even if there's no CMYK color at all. I don't want to draw swatches and fill them with Pantone color to get those color bars. Any idea pls.? Is it possible at all?".
I have CMYK colors and two Pantone colors and need to know if it's possible to get in PDF output Pantone color bars (I do save as from Illustrator). And if yes, then what should I do to get this Pantone color bar in my PDF?

Problem with PDF output quality

We recently upgraded to CS4 Suite Design premium and i am having problems getting illustrator to print high quality output. I have a file created in illustrator which contains 300dpi tiff images created in photoshop (CMYK colorspace in both photoshop image and illustrator file) when i print this file to pdf everything looks hi-rez except these images. i have attempted adjusting all the obvious settings in the print dialoge box including: Output/Printer Resolution, Graphics/Postscript level, Advanced/overprint and transparency flattener options/custom settings. and nothing has worked. Other things i have noted, is that in the print dialog box the only presets listed are Custom, Default and Default Web/Video/Mobile. I have looked through the online help files and found the info on how to add "High Quality Print" to my adobe pdf presets, however it doesn't work. furthermore i have tried the instructions here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/14.0/WSA79FA899-BC95-401e-BD44-5B26BC31B369.html where it says to move the files from "Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Application Support\Adobe PDF" however there is no folder called "Application Support" on my system. I have run out of ideas.
The odd thing here, is that i can take the AI file into photoshop, and print a "High Quality Print" from photoshop with no problems, but i'd like to remove this step to speed up my workflow.
I've attached both the high-quality pdf output from photoshop and the low-quality pdf output from illustrator for reference. (look closely at the logo's)

Figured it out myself! yay! (only took my entire moring)
The solution:
Dont print to PDF!
SAVE AS COPY, then select Adobe PDF and click SAVE, this will bring up a dialog box with the options you need (including the "High Quality Print" Adobe PDF Preset)
This was not clear in any of the instructions i read

Problems with image on PDF output.

In my report, I inserted an image (.jpg format) in the margin section. The background of the image is white. In Oracle Reports Builder, the image was just fine. However, when generating the PDF output, it seems like the image in PDF was mixed with another color, or the background color has been changed. Why?
Due to confidential information, I cannot provide the screenshot here.

Appears to be a case of exceeding the original 100% w/h of the images.
Generally the images should be 'prepped' in size (to match the quality when zoomed). So the starting size of the images/icons on the stage should be scaled smaller - then the zoom will factor to the original size. I hope that made some sense.

Problems viewing concurrent request pdf output on mac os

Please your advice on this will be much appreciated.
A user can run a c.request and view the pdf output on windows without problems. When she uses mac, she is able to run the request successfully but gets error if she click on the link to see the output. Are there any parameters etc to be changed to use mac os?
Thanks

Same report on two instances but PDF output in different fonts

I would appreciate that Report developer with no Apps experience also read this problem.
We have 2 running APPS11i environments.
One production, up and running at the customer.
One development , up and running at our site, develop department.
We developed some reports (rdf's) in Reports 6i Builder.
These reports are known in Oracle Applications by placing the reports in the <OUR_TOP>\11.5.0\reports\US directory
and of course as concurrent programs in Apps11i.
The Requests are submitted by using FND_REQUEST package in our custom application, this works ok.
On BOTH environments the reports are printed with expected font (=Arial) and layout.The concurrent programs have output information set: format (postscript), style and printer.
Secondly we defined another set of concurrent programs, almost the same as the above con.programs mentioned.
Except with this difference that the output information set is format (PDF) and printer is empty (print flag is off).
ONLY on our development site adobe acrobat reader is launched with the expected fonts (arial). SO DEVELOPMENT IS OKAY for us.
On our production site acrobat reader is launched, but the used font is not Arial, instead a font Devicefont10cpi is used.
But these Arial fonts are in the fonts direcory (by looking in control panel | fonts).
When we run the reports stand-alone (reports builder or rwrun60.exe in a DOS box) on the production environment the pdf outputs are created okay with the correct font.
What could we have been forgotten when deploying the reports on production?
In other words what could be responsible for running reports in APPS11i in ignoring the builder defined font.

How can i automate .pdf output and organize by color/bw?

how can i "automate" multi-page .pdf output to preflight/imposition software workflow, organized by color/bw?
basically what i'm trying to do is create a simple output function from InDesign that allows the user to just export a multi-page .pdf into a hot folder and on through preflight and imposition software. i want to be able to tell the hot folder which pages are color -so it can separate, rename and direct color pages to a color queue and b/w pages to a b/w queue.
i've researched indesign distiller presets and the Acrobat JDF but the JDF isn't really meant for this exact purpose and doesn't help reduce the number of steps currently necessary to manually output/rename/etc.
is there another way that i can embed information into a .pdf that could be read by a hot folder?

You might check out this third-party plug-in for InDesign. It may or may not help you (I've never used it). I just saw it on the new Adobe Exchange (beta in Adobe Labs). Here's the description:
Output Factory automates printing and exporting from Adobe InDesign. Export as single pages with variable file names, output layer versions, update modified links on the fly, preflight InDesign files before output, output to several format at once and much more.
Just select the documents, adjust settings and Output Factory will do the rest for you. Keep working with other programs while Output Factory processes InDesign files in the background. Or leave it working overnight to output hundreds of documents, and the job will be done when you return in the morning.
Key features:
• Output multiple InDesign files automatically
• Output as single pages
• Automate printing and exporting to PDF, PostScript, EPS, Flash, IDML, EPUB and several image formats
• Output files to multiple formats at once
• Layer versioning: output layer combinations as single files
• Update modified links automatically
• Variable output file names
• Preflight InDesign files and final PDFs
• Supports books and booklet printing
• Send output files over Internet and locally
• Detailed output history
System Requirements:
- Adobe InDesign CS3-CS6
- Mac OS X 10.5 and later, Intel-based Mac

HELP!! PDF output repot problem

We have a report run from a link on a web page that returns a PDF file created by an Oracle Report. I made a change to the static text on the report and now I get this error:
REP-1610547602 Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file
I have searched Metalink but the suggested solutions haven't worked. This report was fine, but we have had a DB and App Server upgrade since the last time it was compiled. We have always compiled on a Windows box and ftp to the UNIX app server. Apparently there is a bug for PDF output, but the work arounds I found on Metalink either haven't worked or I don't know how to do what was indicated (changing font size).
I believe this error is occurring because of some default value somewhere that is now causing an error. I need to fix this because it's a production report.
TIA

Have you checked the cache or reports output directory on the reports server if it's actually a blank report?
I have seen in other threads that there are problems with some Acrobat Reader 6 versions. The plugin for Internet Explorer doesn't seem to work properly. Check the version on the clients.
