Unnecessary border around pdf

I created a guide using Pages and am using the B5 size. I had saved a previous version of the guide as a PDF and there was no blank border around the sides. It was flush. This showed up not only when I opened the guide in preview, but the borders of the PDF icon were flush with the sides of the icon as well. Now, I have an extraneous border that shows up not only on the PDF itself, but also in the PDF icon. I replaced one image in the guide with another and needed to "pull" the small boxes to make sure the image was flush with my guide and maybe this caused the problem, I don't know. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Matt

Well, in the end, I used one of the older tricks in the book and just cut and pasted the contents of the guide into a new document and then re-sized that to the B-5 size. I don't have any additional insight, but thanks for responding.

Thick border around hyperlink in exported PDF (in some PDF viewers)

We are seeing an issue with the formatting of hyperlinks once a report is exported to PDF.
The problem is that the resulting PDF shows a thick black border around the hyperlink, but only when viewed in certain PDF viewers. For example, the formatting looks fine in various versions of Adobe (both Reader and Acrobat), but when viewed in PDF Converter Pro (our company's new standard) we see the thick black border.
Also, GSview completely chokes and refuses to display the PDF. Not sure if this error message is a red herring..
The problem occurs in PDF's created by the following Crystal environments:
- Full version of Crystal 2008 designer (even though Print Preview looks okay)
- A .NET web application built on Crystal 2008 components
- A .NET Windows application built on Crystal 8.5 components
It seems that our PDF output file has had this problem for at least the two years that we have been generating these reports, but was not noticed until we switched to a new standard PDF viewing application ([PDF Converter Pro|http://www.nuance.com/imaging/products/pdfconverter.asp]).
Initially, I thought that Crystal was relying on our installed PDF creation tool to generate the PDF, but I understand from this thread that Crystal uses its own PDF engine:
[Version of PDF export Engine|Version of PDF export Engine]
Any advice would be appreciated. From what I have learned so far, I think our best option might be to find a way to get users to use Adobe Reader to view the problematic PDF files.

Hola,
does anyone know if this bug (and yes, it is a bug), has been fixed in any later version of crystal reports ?
I am using Crystal 2008 and any object with a defined hyperlink is getting a black border written into the PDF when the settings on the control explicilty say 'None' for all 4 borders of the object. This is true when the pdf exported from CR is viewed on the latest versions of Snow Leopard (Mac OSX 10.7) on any Mac computer.
This is a posting for a mac forum circa 2009 which still applies at the the time of my posting here - http://hintsforums.macworld.com/archive/index.php/t-106893.html
The problem is that the PDF exported from CR is being generated with the following settings for the border of the affected objects:
/Border [ 10 10 10 60 ]
if the top,left,right,bottom border in CR is set to 'None', then the reports designer should actually be outputting this:
/Border [ 0 0 0 0 ]
if you open the PDF in TextEdit on the mac and make the above change, the borders disappear. However this is obviously not a suitable work-around for an end-user.

Is there anyway to add a border around a PDF page

Hello,
Is there anyway to add a 1pt black border around every Page in a Acrobat Document?
Thanks!
babs

Hi Babs,
you could try and just insert a .png with transparency with your border on.
You can save the one below and insert it into your PDF.
Hope this helps.

White Border Around Template Images

I recently created a "page layout" document from a template. This is my first attempt to use a template and it was all going well. Until I hit "print." When I print the document, the images that were already part of the template are printing with a white border around them. It looks fine in Pages and when I go to Print Preview, but it comes off the printer looking funny. What's the deal?

Thanks for the clarification. I had a hard time selecting that white border around the photos. I couldn't even figure out what it was for awhile. I think the printing problem is related to that white border which is an image, photoBG_triple.png, that is behind the photos & their masks & on top of the lined paper image, notepaper.png. I think all that layering looks nice on screen or PDF, but could be a printing nightmare. How does it look funny? And what kind of printer are you using?

Getting rid of white border around photos when using iphoto to iweb

Hi there,
Am creating web pages in iweb and importing photos from iphoto. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the white border around my photos (image frame)? Hoping to enhance some of the templates with my own images. I also have photoshop elements and have been having the same problem there. Sure appreciate. Kim Strouble

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The link to the site is broken. There is a fix for some of the strange goings on since the MobileMe conversion. See Wyodor's post in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1605665&tstart=0. After applying the fix to iWeb I found I might have to republish a second time, occasionally a third and make sure I cleared my browser's cache.
If you're using Firefox 3 that's a different solution that can be found here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7486799#7486799
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How to to print an .indd document with a border around the edge?

I have an Indesign document that I want to print with a slight border around the edge.
I print this after exporting it as a PDF. But when I choose the various combinations of 'print printer's marks' in the export settings, none of them seem to work.
I want just a simple thin border line around the edge of the document to print. I don't want the interior body to print (which it sometimes does).
I know this can be done, because on some of my .indd documents it works... but I can't figure out what I did to get it to print that way.
HELP!
and thanks....
jn

Thanks... the visible guides setting change took away the purple interior rectangle.
But it still doesn't print the border outline.
Here in text form is a summary of the .indd file settings that does print a border correctly, as I like it to.
The relevant paragraph under Marks and Bleed has crop marks off... and document bleed settings on.
I wonder what I'm missing? Sometimes I wished Adobe just used plain english... like 'print border outline of document'!
Thanks!

Bridge Adds Border on PDF Document

I have a series of JPEGS that are all 8.5" x 11" and 300 DPI.
When I try to make them into a PDF with 1 picture per page, the PDF has a white border around each picture. The border is small, and is larger on the sides and bottom than it is on the top.
I have no idea why it is adding this border. I have made sure that my page settings are exactly the same as my original document settings. Ii have even tried setting the PDF dimension to pixels, matching the original document size, but nothing works. It always adds a border. As far as I can tell, I have turned off any feature or auto spacing.
Why is it doing this? Are there settings somewhere that I don't know about?
Thanks!

Chris
In the preferences if Bridge you can change the appearance of the user interface and image backdrop from white via various grey to black using sliders, try it and love it.
You can also move some panels to different locations by grabbing them with the mouse and move them till you see some blue lines that will snap the new location of the panel.
And looking again to your screenshot I see you don't have the path bar activated, look under the menu Window and click on the path bar, it has some very nice icons that increase productivity :-)
Also in the Bridge prefs you can choose to put additional lines with various info under the thumbnails, date taken and date modified are for me very useful settings.
By default the pathbar should be one but every now and then it shuts itself for dark reasons...
Maybe you should also try to refresh the preferences and see if the path bar is again correctly in its place.
But are you able to create a full screen PDF as I am?

How do I print multiple (4) photos on one page with a border around each?

How do I print multiple photos on one page with a border around each? I've gone the contact sheet route and adjusted the number of columns but there's only outer margins and very little white space between the photos down the middle of the page.

Ok, now I feel stupid! I always thought I was printing 6 x 4 but now I realise I can't have done!!
The photos that I used to print are approx. 5.2" x 4" (i.e. 4 fitted nicely on a page & I had to cut the boarder off).
I guess I just need to play with different sizes under the 'custom' option in order to get the biggest possible picture!
Thanks for the help

How can I create a white border around figures that are in an image? (CS 6; examples+image included)

Hi,
I have CS6 and am wondering how to create a white ("comic style"?) border around figures in an image, as in the examples below. I don't wish to include the black shadow of the border, just the white part.
Examples:
Here's the image I'd like to alter, making a white border around the outline of all five figures:
I researched for quite a while but could find no instructions. It would be very much appreciated if someone knows and would be kind enough to share the technique! Thank you.

If you make the image a layer (opposed to Background)...
You could Select the blue with the Magic Wand as Semaphoric says, then fill with white. Then choose Select - Modify Selection - Contract, and mask or delete the remaining pixels. The Contract operation will give you a nice border the size you choose.
For extra credit, you could use Refine Edge to make the selection more accurate.
Click to see the image against a dark background.
-Noel

When I have a border around a group of cellsand remove it, it also removes the grid lines. When I go to print the sheet, there are blank spaces where the border had been. I'm sing a MacBook.

When I have a border around a group of cell, how do I remove it. If I outline the cells again and then show in the Inspector NO BORDER, it removes not only the borderbut when I go to print it also the grid lines.

What application are you using? Numbers? Excel? Something else?

How can I print with black border around edge of image?

I'd like to add a black border around the edge of certain images I'm printing. I know it's fairly trivial in Lightroom, but I can't see where this option is in Aperture. Is this lacking in Aperture, or am I just missing it? Many thanks.
PS -- I'm aware there are some plug-ins that claim to do this, so if Aperture can't do this, please feel free to chime in with comments on the best plug-in for this task.

Thanks, Rich. That's a good plug-in, and does cover what I need (with lots of other features, too). The problem, though, is it requires an export of the image, which I then have to either print from another application, or reimport to Aperture to print. I was hoping to find something that will either just apply the border to the print job, or that would serve as more of an Edit With . . . type of plug-in than an Export plug-in, so I can keep everything in one place. Thanks again.

How to get rid of the black border around the artboard

Hopefully my last question for tonight.
I need to get rid of the black border around the artboard. The two images show my drawing lined up with the art board and then inside the artboard. The dark gray is not the artboard.
As you see, the artboard has a black border. I need to get rid of it. It shows up in my project when my color key is green. The black won't go to transparent.
So how-to get rid of the border? Thanks
***Update***
I figured it out. View > Hide Artboards. Maybe this will help someone. Doesn't change the fact my spider looks like a tick:)

How to add a Border around an ImageView

Hi all,
I'm adding a row of photos in my application which are being resized to fit into some constrained space with Preserve Ratio true. They are put in a TilePane, with a Label below each photo.
Basically, I give all my ImageViews a fitHeight of 120 pixels, and let them determine how wide they will become themselves in order to preserve the ratio.
It looks great.
However, I would like to add a Border around these images, as they sometimes fade too much into the background to clearly see the edges. ImageViews themselves donot support borders, so I'm forced to wrap these ImageViews inside another container.... but, no matter what container I use, the container itself refuses to resize itself to fit exactly around the image -- it seems to be completely oblivious of the real size of the Image -- with some parameters the ImageView will simply render itself outside the edges of its container, and with other parameters the container is wider than the ImageView leaving a gap on the right side.
This is yet another instance where I want my ImageViews to resize themselves to fit the available space, resulting in a huge struggle to force these components into their proper straight-jacket. Anyone got any solutions for this?

I'm afraid that also won't work, as the Image needs to be scaled, and the dimensions you are using are from the unscaled image.
I've however am now using this class to get what I want, together with a stylesheet to specify the border it works and I get nice borders.

Thin white border around image in browser

In Firefox and Safari a thin white border appears around a

How to make a round border around my picture?

I am trying to design a logo that would fit into the center of a Frisbie, yet I cannot figure out how to make a round border around the picture. I have tried using the eliptical tool, and have also tried using the cookie cutter. The only option I can get to work with the eliptical tool, is the feather, yet I can't change the pixel number for some reason, so it just makes a thin circle around the picture. I thought I could cut and paste it, but the copy and cut options were grayed out and didn't work. When I used the cookie cutter, it made a nice border, and I pasted the picture into it, but, there are four sections that need to be filled in with the background color and the paintbucket didn't work in those spaces (they are the gray and white checked areas. (the picture ends up looking like a rectangle inside of a circle). So I made a new blank file and filled it in with the color of the picture's background, hoping to use the cookie cutter tool around the picture that was now pasted into the new blank file (I chose another color for the round border) and I used the cookie cutter around the picture, but when it was finished, the whole picture ended up being white. All I want to do is to make a border around a picture (a round border). Nothing I have done has worked though. What am I doing wrong, or what are some other options for trying to do this? Thanks.

Here is a simple way to add a border. Select the item, add a blank layer, choose the border size and color and the Outside option:
Here is the result:
Note that you don't even need to do the Stroke on a blank layer. You can Stroke directly on the picture layer. However having the blank layer preserves the picture in case you want to start again with different Stroke options.
If this is not what you are looking to do, please clarify.
