Type shifts upon PDF export

I have been wrestling with an issue for a while now and hope someone can shed some light on it.
When exported from InDesign as a PDF, type often shifts vertically, horizontally, or both. The problem appears to get worse from left to right and top to bottom. The more columns there are, the worse it gets across columns.
This problem was first caught on a commercial printer's proof when I noticed the type had shifted from my InDesign file to their proof. Since most commercial printers use PDF workflows (as this one did), any bug in PDF export represents a major issue. I have had projects print incorrectly due to this and I am in need of a fix that commercial printers can also implement because current projects are suffering from it and past projects have come out wrong.
I have replicated the issue on numerous different machines (and even had it tested by friends around the country) running everything from CS3 to CC, so it seems to be a systemic and possibly old InDesign / PDF export issue. The problem seems to happen with any font format — OT, TT, orPS. The PDF settings (x-1a, x-4, etc) don't seem to affect the issue.
Anyone can probably create a test file that will show the issue by making a vertical tabloid document with three columns, threading text to fill all three columns, and then setting the type to be 9pt / 12pt leading. Export a PDF and then import it and lay it directly on top of the page in InDesign, after having changed the type in InDesign to another color. In the samples below I changed the InDesign text to magenta, and the black is the PDF laid on top of it.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

So I think we have a working solution for PDF/X-1a or simply a PDF with version Acrobat 4 (PDF-v1.3).
The trick is to force transparency reduction to the text frame. One can do it without converting text to outline.
Just put a rectangle with a fill of 100% [Paper] set to transparency 0% on top of it. Downside is, that the exported PDF will get a white background.
Currently for PDF/X-4 I see no chance to work around the issue, if:
1. Point size is 9 pt *
2.1. A baseline grid of 12 pt * is used and the paragraph styles are set to align to it
or 2.2. If the pointsize is extactly 9 pt * and the leading is exactly 12 pt *
* I did not check all other creteria you mentioned in your 7th post: the ratio assumption between pointsize and leading, maybe the formula is something like that: Text Line Distance = n * (Pointsize + Pointsize / 3 ) => creep.
I packed all documents to a zip archive that you can download from my Dropbox account:
Dropbox - 150127-1-TextShift-CS5.5.zip
150127-1-TextShift-CS5.5.zip contains the following files:
   150127-1-TextShift-CS5.5.indd
   150127-1-TextShift-CS5.5.idml
   Layer-Text2Path-VISIBLE-PDF-X1a.pdf
   Layer-Text2Path-NOT-VISIBLE-PDF-X1a.pdf
"150127-1-TextShift-CS5.5.indd" contains several layers (from top to bottom):
Text2Path  (currently invisible)
Layer1
PDF-Layer-Text2Path-VISIBLE-when-exported   (currently invisible)
PDF-Layer-Text2Path-NOT-VISIBLE-when-exported  (currently invisible)
The mentioned white rectangle is placed on master spread A on layer "Text2Path".
Live text in a text frame is on "Layer1" (visible).
Layer "PDF-Layer-Text2Path-VISIBLE-when-exported" contains the placed PDF "Layer-Text2Path-VISIBLE-PDF-X1a.pdf", layer color is green, because here we can see no issues.
Layer "PDF-Layer-Text2Path-NOT-VISIBLE-when-exported" contains the placed PDF "Layer-Text2Path-NOT-VISIBLE-PDF-X1a.pdf"; layer color is red and showing the issues.
Both PDFs are exported with the same PDF Export Preset.

  • Poor Image quality upon PDF export

    hi,
    issue: images lose quality when viewed in PDFs
    i've searched/read these and other forums for the past few days and have tried just about every suggestion out there in order to get better quality images in my PDFs and nothing works.. it's as if everyone is talking some theory without actually testing/proving what they're saying.
    are pdfs inherently bad at handling raster images?
    i have a few 800x1200 px renders (tiffs/jpgs) that i'd like to include in a PDF.. i'm using A4 landscape orientation because when viewed at full size on a 24" monitor, it's the size i'd like it to be (i'm not concerned with printing this pdf.. monitor only)
    the images when view full size in the pdf are a bit smaller than viewing the original images full size however, the quality is a lot worse.
    honestly, i'll try or retry your suggestions but at this point, i'm more/less looking for an explanation as to why this happens because from what i can tell, it's going to happen no matter what
    gracias

    Not sure what you are expecting.
    well, i'm certainly expecting better quality than what i'm getting..
    The jpg is contrasty and it is lower resolution than you need, but you did say that above. Which means I am not looking at what you are looking at.
    The color space is srgb and the conversion from the tiff would have reduced the quality a little or a lot depending on your settings.
    it doesn't matter if i use the original tiff or the jpg.. for all intents and purposes, let's forget i even have the tiff.. the jpg should look the same in the pdf (imo)
    Did you print to pdf or Export? If you exported, did you use "Best" as your setting.
    i've done all sort of methods.. but yeah, always at highest quality if said method allows such settings..
    It has lost some contrast and is a little blurry. It looks to my eye like the degradation you get from setting the jpeg quality a little low.
    well, no.. it has gone from something that is in focus to something that is out of focus.. if i open the jpg in photoshop and do a 'save as' jpg with the quality set to 3 (with 12 being best), i will get similar results as putting the jpg in a pdf.. (albeit, a different type of quality loss but just as bad)
    you've seen the comparison but just in case someone else wants to look, check here:
    http://homepage.mac.com/jeffhammond/Sites/imgs/origVSpdf.jpg
    that's a screenshot showing the jpg on the right and the pdf output on the left (both viewed in preview)..
    it's unacceptable.. but like i said earlier, i think this is an inherent aspect of pdfs and i'd settle for a decent explanation as to why it happens..
    OSX has some very smart frameworks built in, which do make bitmaps displayed on screen in Cocoa apps look better than they should. Not exactly helpful if you simply want to see it unenhanced.
    but still, if that's the case, why isn't osx doing the same thing to the pdf.. (and also, i highly doubt the actual quality of the image is being shown in the pdf but when i view the jpg, i'm being shown an enhanced view to the point of making an out-of-focus image being an in focus image.

  • Field disappears upon pdf export

    I have a field that simply disappears when exported to pdf. When printed directly out of Crystal, everything is fine. It is a formula that simply subracts one field from another. It's placed in the details section. Any ideas?

    Hi Gregory,
    That's strange, what version of Crystal Reports are you using?
    Also, is the field visible when you export to other formats?

  • How to include a slug-type area on PDF export

    Does anyone know how I can include a slug area (or something similar) on an AI file when I save as PDF?  I need to include a part number, revision number and date of the file for reference purposes.  I've tried searching and can't seem to find a solution.  Thanks in advance!
    Mel

    To elaborate make your document artboard the correct size you need it so you can work properly.
    Then place your slug as close as you feel you can then make another artboard encompassing the origina atboard plus the area the slug has been position.
    That way you have the sim0ple choice of making the pdf of the larger one and then when you do not need the slug just select the document artboard.
    Or if you include a bleed with trim marks then you can save with the bleed and trim mark settings and layout yur slug to fit in the area encomassed by the trim marks.
    You can also use trim marks without a bleed so if you do not have bleeds you can still accomplish what you want.

  • Terrible Graphic Quality with PDF Export from FM9

    I'm using FM9 unpatched on Windows XP Pro.
    I cannot get the PDF export to work properly with graphics. Everything else looks great in general, but the graphics lose quality, both upon import into FM and even more so upon PDF export.
    I have tried every option for importing, both working with native files (ex. .ai) and with JPEG or other format exports, as well as importing the files themselves directly and importing by reference.
    I have also tried tweaking the PDF "Image" settings, removing any and all compression to see if it would help, which it did not.
    In the end, the best results actually come from imported JPEG files, which are a bit blurry, but (relatively) usable, considering the alternatives. The Illustrator files I want to use are just awful, they are completely bitmapped upon export to PDF.
    It is also worth noting that I do not encounter this problem when using the FM drawing tools. The output of those graphic files on printer and in PDF is excellent, vector-quality art.
    I find it unusual that I am having this problem and see no other mention of it in the forums. It is causing serious pain and delays on my project, so if someone has any insight, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Douglas

    First and foremost, you mention using FM unpatched, but you don't mention any specific reason you haven't applied the patches, can you elaborate on that? What version are you running, then?  The latest version is 9.03 aka p250, as shown in Help > About.
    There were several fixes to PDF generation in both the .02 and .03 update, so that would be the #1 recommendation.
    Second thing is to tell us
    1)  how you're creating the PDFs, are you using Save As or are you printing to a print file,
    2) what printer do you have set as your default printer (in FM) when you create the PDF

  • InDesign CS - Type is missing in exported PDF?

    Hi, I am using InDesign CS. When I save my file as a .pdf and view and print it the type is missing. I am just using the default pdf export settings.
    To save the .pdf here's what I did.
    1. I have an open InDesign project and I select (PDF Export Presets > Print)
    2. I then save the file as a .pdf and then I select the "Export" button.
    Then when I open and view my .pdf file the type is missing. What am I doing wrong?

    Have printed it from Illustrator and it prints fine.
    I doubt that this is the problem, but: are you printing from Preview? Do you have Acrobat installed? Can you print from Acrobat? Do you have the same issues there?
    Preview does a surprisingly good job on PDFs, given how lightweight it is, but if it fails to display or print something, the first thing I try is Acrobat.

  • Color Shift Happening When Exporting - Bug in Acrobat Export?

    Hi, we are using InDesign CS3 and trying to output a file to send to a printer. We are desiring to have all colors converted to the printer's CMYK color space upon exporting (they sent us their ICC profile).
    But we are getting a bizarre bug that I cannot figure out. It seems like it's actually a software bug, not an issue with settings. I'll try to describe the issue here:
    Upon using 'Convert to Destination (Preserver Numbers or Not)' in the PDF export dialog in InDesign (using PDF/X-4 setting), using the 'Document CMYK' profile, there is a shift in color for 1 particular element. We have a grayscale image of a bunch of dots (black dots on solid white background) that is placed in a frame in InDesign. This image is 'colorized' in InDesign by setting an image color and a frame color (the image color appears as the 'foreground' and the frame color is the 'background'). We've been doing this all the way back to the Quark days (many years). But if the 'background/frame' color is a combination of C+M+Y (with no black), the Magenta and Yellow values are shifted to the Yellow and Black channels (for example - 52c, 5m, 10y, 0k becomes 52c, 0m, 5y, 10k).
    I have never run into this before, and we've run this job with the same element many times now over the last couple years. But I have always used 'No Color Conversion' in my PDFs in the past. So it has something to do with the 'conversion'.
    So far I've tried:
    - Creating new document with just the single element, also created from scratch. So it's not an error in the file.
    - Starting with different profiles (to make sure the profile wasn't corrupt).
    - Choosing 'Preserve Numbers' or not when outputting PDF.
    - All sorts of color combinations. It also appears that if there is black in the color, this value gets shifted to the magenta channel, then the magenta & yellow bump down.
    - Checked the grayscale image to make sure it was flat, and using pure black & white colors. It is.
    I've also tried printing to Distiller (we have Acrobat 8 Pro), but the settings are a lot different here so I'm not sure if I set it up properly. I made a duplicate of the default PDFX3 2002 profile, then edited the color settings to 'Convert Everything to CMYK' and set our printer's profile as the CMYK Color Space. But images are converted to 'DeviceCMYK' and not the profile I put.
    - ANYBODY have any ideas or even know where I would start???
    THANKS. This job needs to go out, but I'm also trying to get a solid workflow down for the future.

    Looks like the issue in the CM thread.
    I'm trying to replicate the issue but haven't done it yet. Still grasping at straws
    1. Did the ID doc ever undergo Convert to Profile?
    2. In Swatch Panel do "Add unnamed colors". Make sure the grayscale is colored with swatches, not colors created in the Color Picker
    3. Do the color values in the swatches have crazy decimal values? Is the color mode of the swatches CMYK?
    4. What format are the grayscale links - TIFF or PSD?
    5. Make certain they are links, not embedded (I'm sure they are links though)
    6. The colorization - are there tints applied to the object colors, or are they 100%?

  • Incorrect PDF exports in ID CS5.5 with X-1a standard...

    I'm tasked with troubleshooting technical problems for a group of 20 designers. I've been a designer myself, but not for some time now. However, as a tech support person I deal with CS problems daily, so I'm still pretty versed with the apps. Just to let you know.
    I've installed brand new Mac Pros (12-core Xeon 2.66, 18GB RAM, 1TB mirror, running 10.6.8 v1.1) this week in the department. The old machines had CS4, and had been relatively problem-free, or at least the designers had learned its quirks and had workarounds in place. The old Macs also used Extensis UTC 2, which we upgraded on the new systems to UTC 3.0.1. The machines were fresh installs, but we ran Migration Assistant to pull over the user accounts and settings (but left behind the Applications).
    The first issue we're having has to do with type objects floating around on the page when documents are exported to PDF using X-1a:2001 or 2003, also X-3. If the designer switches to straight High Quality Print, no standards, then the type stays in place. At least we have a workaround for that, but I'm just wondering if this is a bug others are seeing. The type block will shift right about three inches, down an inch in most examples people have brought to me, BUT I've also seen it shift further down; it's semi-random, but often it's over 3", down 1".
    As an FYI, we also had a weird issue where a grayscale PSD clipped file was placed on a page, and would cause half of the rest of the objects not to export to PDF (though JPEG exports were OK). We found that the designer had used Effects on the image from within ID, and if she used any effect which went INSIDE the clipping path, objects dropped out on the export (this includes Inner Shadow, Inner Glow and Emboss). Just thought I'd post that for someone desperately searching for PDF NOT PRINTING ALL OBJECTS IN INDESIGN CS5.5. 
    So, any help with the X-1a export would be appreciated, as this company's primary printer asks for this standard to be used.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Dan,
    in that case you can print to PostScript and use Distiller to get PDF/X-1a files instead of using PDF export.
    You might know how to do that, but just in case you don't:

  • Script that worked in CS does not work in CS4 - multiple open page, print , pdf export and close

    I had a script that worked great for me in Indesign CS. But now does not work in CS4. Anyone knows what needs to be done to make it work again ?
    When I drop folder with indesign files on top of this script:
    1. opens first page
    2. turns specific layer on
    3. prints using preset
    4. exports using preset
    5. close without saving
    6. next page
    Anyone who can give me solution or idea how this should work is greatly appreciated.

    repeat with sourceFolder in sourceFolders

    set idFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is "IDd5") as alias as list
    end try
    end tell
    if idFiles is not {} then
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
    set user interaction level to never interact
    repeat with i from 1 to count of idFiles
    open item i of idFiles

    end try
    set myPreset to "letter size" -- name of print style to use

    print using myPreset without print dialog
    end timeout
    set myPreset1 to "pdf preset name" -- name of pdf export style to use
    set myName to the name -- name includes .indd should remove at some point          
    with timeout of 700 seconds
    export format PDF type to "users:temp:Desktop:pdf:" & myName & ".pdf" using myPreset1 without showing options -- set path here format ComputerName:Folder1:Folder2:......:FileName.pdf
    end timeout
    close without saving
    end tell
    end repeat
    set user interaction level to interact with all
    end tell
    end if
    return 10 -- try again in 10 seconds
    end repeat
    end open

    (Disclaimer: me not an AS guy!)
    First thing I noticed is the interaction level is set off. If you comment out this line
    set user interaction level to never interact
    you might be able to pinpoint the exact error -- ID will display a standard "failed" dialog, hopefully showing the line that it fails on.
    A quick question: the script assumes two presets in your InDesign: one for print ("letter size") and one for PDFs ("pdf preset name"):
    set myPreset to "letter size" -- name of print style to use
    set myPreset1 to "pdf preset name" -- name of pdf export style to use 
    Do these actually exist in your CS4, with the same (non)capitalization and spaces?

  • JRE Crash with 1.5.0_13 related to printing & PDF export

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem : JRE 1.5.0 (updates 6, 10 and 13 tried) crashes under my software. The problem is encountered with printing / PDF exporting functionality through JFreeReport. Issue is encountered only with dualcore computers. Fortunately the issue isn't encountered with 1.6.0 anymore but I'd still be interested to find some workaround to make the software run with 1.5.0 also (It would be nice not to require users to have 1.6.0) Problem has been detected with both Win XP SP 2 and Vista.
    First I was suspicious because we are using one JNI library but removing that didn't help so that shouldn't be the case.
    After some searching I found a couple of JVM bugs that were marked as duplicates for http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6186524 . Those were related to 2D things and hence printing, fonts, exporting and with some cases dualcore computers were mentioned. However, that bug should be fixed in 1.5.0_10 but upgrading to 1.5.0_10 (or 1.5.0_13) didn't help so it can't be the actual bug.
    Error log, if somebody can make up something: (This error log was got when running through Eclipse with JRE set to 1.5.0_13 but error has been encountered also when running straight with just one JRE (1.5.0_XX) installed to computer.)

    This looks like [bug 6754141|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6754141] in the just-in-time compiler. If you have a support contract you can escalate this to get a fix in a jdk1.5.0 update. Alternatively, there do not seem to be any reports of this in jdk6, so you could try a recent jdk6 update (e.g., jdk6 update 17).

  • Problem printing pdfs exported from IDCS3 to hp color laserjet 2550L

    Since upgradingn to IDCS3, whenever I print a pdf exported from ID to my hp color laserjet 2550L, the graphics print with a red overlay and other colors change as well (black type prints brown, blue prints maroon). If I print the file to a .ps file, then distill it, I don't have the problem. If possible, I prefer to export because it's quicker. Is there a fix to this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Check the HP site for a newer driver for your printer.

  • Generate a PDF export and getting the file or the bytestream to modify it

    Hi everybody
    I have a web dynpro application and want to get the bytestream or the PDF file itself.
    Is there a function (RFC, J2EE-Method, ABAP methode/class) where I can say
    "Hey function, generate a PDF export of a BI report and save the PDF file <br>somewhere in the KM or return the bytestream of the PDF"
    I must be able to define following parameters
    -BI template name
    -values for the selection mask (the same as the BEx BI-Commands to prefill a field in the selection mask)
    -KM path + filename (if the function saves the file in the KM)
    What I already tried:
    Broadcast to KM
    I can start the broadcast automatically using the report RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER. But the problem is that I can't generate a broadcast setting and so I'm not able to define the filename and selectionmask data dynamically.
    Package RSRD
    When you enter the transaction SE80 and look for the package "RSRD" there are a lot of interesting classes and methods. But I couldn't figure out how to call them to generate a PDF export of a BI report.
    FM RSADOB_PDFREPORT_GENERATE
    This function module have all the parameters I wish. The problem is that it does not work anymore. It's just an internal test for the SAP guys themselves.
    So ...
    Have anybody an idea how to solve this?
    How to generate a PDF export of a BI report and fill the selection mask and get the PDF (as bytecode or file in the KM) ?
    Thanks lot
    Klaudio

    hi,
    Like you said.. steps are simple and clearly mentioned in guide.
    1. create a variable of type string
    2. after configuring the file adapter , go to corresponding receive activity , go to properties tab
    3. search for a property with name as jca.file.FileName . This basically keeps track of file name
    4. for this property, give the value as name of variable created in step 1 above
    5. Use this variable anywhere in assign / transform

  • Fonts Not Embedding Consistently with PDF Export - Inconsistent Fix and Unknown Cause

    I have had ongoing problems with PDF export from FrameMaker. Sometimes the correct fonts do not embed in the PDF and Times New Roman is substituted. The problem appears and disappears and is causing me a lot of lost time and frustration.
    I am running FrameMaker 9.0 fully patched on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have seen people complain about this issue and am familiar with the suggested fixes. However, the exact cause and solution eludes me because the problem continues to recur and I am only able to recover with guesswork and workarounds.
    Initially I did the following:
    ACROBAT PDF SETTINGS
    - In the printer properties for Adobe PDF settings I turned off the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use documents fonts."
    ACROBAT DISTILLER SETTING
    Under "Font" Settings I changed the following:
    - Under "Settings/Font Locations" I added the font folder for Technical Communication Suite 2.0 and made sure all the fonts existed there and in the Windows default font directory.
    - Under "Settings/Edit Adobe PDF Setting/Fonts" I changed the following options:
                - Selected "Embed all fonts"
                - Under "Embedding" chose "Always Embed" for the target fonts.
    I tweaked these settings for hours and got no results. Then I rebooted and the problem had magically disappeared. I fixed the issue in the same way on another machine and the results were permanent and I was just happy to finally have it fixed, But this time it didn't last.
    I should note that upon reboot, when I used the stock "PDF Job Options," the correct fonts still embedded, leading me to believe that the fix had nothing to do with the changes I made to Distiller settings.
    After reboot I generated PDFs with the correct fonts embedded. Then I shut down FM, but left the system running. The next morning I opened FM again and the same problem occurred.
    So I rebooted again -- and the problem disappeared again. I therefore thought maybe the issue fixes on reboot but recurs when you shut down FM and reopen. So I shut down FM again and reopened, but it is still working fine for the moment.
    I verified that the Adobe PDF settings under "Printers & Devices" that I turned off (Rely on system fonts only; do not use documents fonts) remained correctly unchecked through all these changes.
    I would really like to know why this happens so I can resolve it permanently and avoid more lost time.
    Thanks in advance,
    Douglas

    The common theme I'm seeing here is that the setting edits you make in
    Distiller through the FM "Save As PDF" option don't seem to take effect.
    Do you know if that is true or could you elaborate on the notorious nature
    of this method for me?
    >
    There are too many potential and transient problems to list. The only thing
    I can say is that I've been an active member of the FrameUsers listserv
    (http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/listinfo/framers) since FM version 6.0,
    circa 2001, and probably 95% of the PDF problems reported there have been
    fixed simply by using print to Adobe PDF (or to Acrobat Distiller in older
    PDF versions), instead of using Save as PDF. Common advice there has always
    been to avoid Save as PDF and even some Adobe employees have recommended
    against using it. It doesn't matter which FM version.
    The once-busy FrameUsers listserve has been fading away, recently, as this
    new Adobe forum software allows reading via e-mail, and attachment of
    screenshots.  Even if you look around on this forum now, you'll probably
    find that there are two main fixes for issues with PDF. One is NOT using
    Save as PDF, which seems to fix a whole bunch of issues. The other is the
    use of a Windows hotfix to squash a Windows OS bug that causes dropped
    characters in PDFs.
    In the rare instances that someone has issues with printing to PDF, they are
    almost always related to errors in settings. Or occasionally someone can't
    embed fonts because they are trying to the embed the virtual fonts that come
    with their printer driver instead of fonts that have actually been installed
    on their computer. (The fonts are hard-wired on their printer, so the system
    can use them but not embed them.)

  • Font Embedding Question in PDF exported from PageMaker v7

    I am having difficulty embedding the majority of my fonts in PDFs exported from PageMaker v7. When exporting to PDFs, a "cannot embed font" error is generated.
    Technical Details:
    The fonts I have are ALL LEGAL, and were purchased with complete licenses when required.
    The fonts properties show them to be completely embedable, with no restrictions in terms of installation, etc.
    The fonts can be placed and embedded in PDFs from all other programs I've attempted this with (Illustrator, Acrobat, MSWord, WordPerfect, etc.).
    Disclaimer:
    Yes, I know PageMaker is old, and yes, I am in the process of upgrading to Creative Sutie (although, as an aside, it is extremely disappointing that even a token discount is not offered to those who have purchased every Adobe and MacroMedia software package in the past, but I digress...). However, several of my clients require PageMaker files (for a variety of reasons I won't go into here).
    Thank you in advance for any advice on what might be the underlying problem.

    When generating PDF output from Pagemaker, I've used 2 methods:
    1. File>Export>PDF
    This method works fine for a limited number of fonts (AGaramond for example), which is why I started this post. Bob Levine had suggested using Distiller instead.
    2. File>Printer Styles>Acrobat
    I usually used this method when an offset printer requires crop marks, since the other method does not provide an option for crop marks.
    This opens a window with numerous options, the pertinent ones to my question are:
    Printer: New 2002 PPD for Adobe PS Driver on file
    PPD: Adobe PDF 3015.102
    Postscript: Download Fonts (3 options):
         None
         True Type and Type 1
         True Type Only
    When I choose download "True Type and Type 1", I get the same "cannot embed font" error if I use most of my fonts (with the exception of a few that work).
    When I choose NONE for the option, the PS file is generated without errors.
    Once the .ps file is generated, I then use Distiller 4 to open the file and output PDF file.
    If I used "True Type and Type 1" for download font option, and the font does not generate an error, the PDF file is fine.
    If I used "NONE" for download font option, when I open the PDF, it indicates that the fonts are embedded. However, since I do not download the font, I am nervous that this might cause problems when I go to an offset printer.
    I do not print to a file using a printer driver (for example Linotype, Acrobat, etc.). The 2 processes I've used seem to be independent of what the default printer is on the operating system (XP).
    Thanks!

  • InDesign PDF Export Color Issues

    So I've encountered a frustrating problem that I know others have experienced. It involves the PDF export from InDesign where the PDF color is not matching the document view. It's a critical issue regarding soft proofs for designs where color needs to match the desired result. I never had any issues before but now it's kicked in after upgrading to Mountain Lion and CS6.
    Let me preface a few things first...
    Yes, I've callibrated my monitor
    Yes, Creative Suite color settings are in sync.
    Yes, I've tried the changing transparency blend space... makes no difference.
    In my case I have an RGB TIFF placed which has dark midnight blue to light blue tones. When I do an export and it doesn't matter what PDF settings I use the color shifts making it more purplish bllue and the lighter blue tones go away.
    BUT, when I export a JPEG, the JPEG looks PERFECT, just like it should and matches the document view.
    So I figured the problem must've been solved with the new Acrobat XI... I download the trial and installed it. I created a new PDF and it comes up looking like it should. GREAT, except for the price to update to Acrobat Pro XI!
    THEN, some message comes up about trusted certificates?! I click ok... and the color on the PDF goes wrong again! What is the problem with this CRAP? HOW DO I FIX THIS GARBAGE? Is it fixable on the old version (Acrobat X)?
    I've worked in Adobe products for years but they are going backwards and becoming more problematic by the day. Not to mention it's ridiculous to have to pay $200 to get a new version of Acrobat Pro after recently buying CS6. This is an insult to long time professional customers, you should be providing this update FREE to makeup for your broken, out of sync with Apple CRAP.

    Well any local application change to the color settings is going to show up out of sync
    All syncing does is match the application's Working CMYK and RGB settings, but the only case where a Working profile color manages a document is when the doc has no profile assignment. So if I sync to North American General my Working CMYK space is US SWOP, but if I open a document with US Sheetfed assigned, US Sheetfed manages the preview not US SWOP.
    I'm not saying you aren't experiencing a bug, but you have to be sure of what profile assignments or simulation profiles are driving the preview and syncing doesn't do that. How you export (are  you including profiles?, making a conversion?), and what device you are simulating in both programs can make syncing meaningless for existing document's previews.
    I can't test X but with XI if you export a PDF/X-4 (where there's no conversion and all profiles are included), the  preview with Output Preview closed shows RGB objects unchanged—same as ID with Overprint/Sep Preview Off.
    When I open Output Preview the initial Simulation profile is the PDF/X-4 output intent which is the ID doc's assigned profile, in that case  RGB objects preview in the output intent's CMYK space—same as ID with Overprint on.
