Unwanted lightening effect around placed graphic

I originally posted this in the InDesign forum but that may have been the wrong way to approach it.
I have an Illustrator vector graphic placed in InDesign, it's over a dark background.
Placed by itself the graphic looks fine, exports to PDF fine and prints fine.
However, there is a drop shadow effect added to the frame in InDesign (using the regular select tool), after which the placed graphic still looks fine.
There is, unfortunately, an invisible lightening effect added to the graphic which only manifests in the printed PDF.
This lightening effect is not visible in the InDesign file and is not visible in the PDF on screen (even when I check the separations), it is only visible on the printout of the PDF.
Since it is not visible in the PDF, here is a simulation of the lightening effect:
http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8025/windoweffect.jpg
Anyone experienced anything like this?

It could be anything, but probably due to flattening issues on PDF export.
This is your screen shot, background removed, the two colored rectangles added in ID, added text for "The Gathering," the PS file added and the drop shadow effect applied to the PSD file from within ID. Screen shot is from the PDF.
Take care, Mike

Unwanted colored border around link graphics

Hello,
I would appreciate any advice on a problem I've run in to. On
a site I'm developing, I just went through and linked the pages to
each other using menu graphics that I created in Photoshop. Once I
did that, a colored border appeared around the images and I can't
figure out how to get rid of it. Here's a link so you can see what
I mean:
http://www.elisabethnaughton.com/new_site/index2.html.
I'm guessing that I accidentally did it when I changed the
link color. In the page properties, I designated one color for link
color, visited links, and active links (a dark brown). I designated
a lighter brown for the rollover link color. I'm not even sure why
blue and purple are appearing as borders, other than those are the
default colors, right?
Anyway, I'd appreciate any help you could provide on how to
solve this problem. I've finished all of the other tweaks and this
is the last thing I have before it goes live! :) Thanks!

Add =
a img { border:none; }
to your CSS file/spreadsheet.

Transparency of placed graphics

Everything was working beautifully and now has gone horribly wrong. I'm sure it's something simple - I just cannot figure out what!
b Configuration:
I am using CS3 (all updates current) on Win Vista. I have been using for nearly a year on this sys.
b Problem:
I'll try to describe as best I can but I'm sure my terminology won't always be correct.
I have InDesign files (brochures) created anywhere from nearly a year ago to a few weeks ago. The linked by placing images looked just as expected until last week or so.
1. My drop shadows, created in InD, printed with boxes around them. My blending space is Normal.
2. Some of my linked by placing graphics have a white box around one of the graphic's layers.
b **For example:
I placed a map that I created in Illustrator. In Illustrator, I created a pathed layer on the map showing a park. I saved as an AI file and PDF file. When I open the map in Illustrator or Acrobat, the map looks perfect. When I place either the AI or PDF in my InD brochure, the map looks fine - except there is a white rectangle around the park. On screen and, worse, in print!**
My blend settings are normal. My display performance is high quality. My transparency blend space is doc CMYK.
This has happened in multiple InD documents. This has happened with multiple graphic files. The graphic files have ranged from a simple, single layer shape PhotoShop files to multi-layer vector Illustrator files. The graphic files appear as desired in their native program or Acrobat.
I have searched help files and knowlegebase files - but perhaps I'm just not looking in the right section - or typing in the correct magic phrase. I desperately need help so I can turn out some brochures (and maybe keep my sanity)!
b All ideas welcome.

Oh my goodness! Bob, thank you! The overprint didn't fix the park in the map - but converting all the Illustrator color to process did! Lesson learned.

Wind Shake Effect Around Z Axis

I would like to create a "Wind Shake Effect Around Z Axis". I have a image of the leave in vertical position standing on its stem and would like it to have an appearance as if it trembles in the wind.
I applied Wiggle effect. However it wiggles/distorts in all possible directions but the Z axis. What would be my course of actions/direction to try to emulate a slight rapid shake around the Z axis in the front veiew.
In other words you look at the leave and see its right edge coming at you and left edge away of you and then in reverse. Pritty much like skewing in 3D with exception of X and Y axis.
I use AE CS6 on Windows.

Thank you for your reply.
Looks like I will need step by step direction as I was not able to successfully implement your suggestion.
Here is what I tried.
1. With the Wiggle Gelatin effect applied to my "Leaf" layer and 3D turned on I clicked "P" on the keyboard which opened Position in under layer's "Transform". Holding down "Alt" I pressed stop watch on the Position and entered your code:
    seedRandom(index, true)
    leafJitter=wiggle(3,30);
    leafJitterZ=leafJitter[2];
I got this error message:
     After Effects warning: Class'Array" has no property or methid named '2'
    Expression disabled.
    Error occured at line 3.
    Comp:'shake leave test'
    Layer:1 ('Green2')
    Property;'Position'
2. Same as all of the above, but I selected "Position" under "Effects" of the layer and got this error message:
     After Effects warning: expression result must be of demension 3, not 1
    Expression disabled.
    Error occured at line 0.
    Comp:'shake leave test'
    Layer:1 ('Green2')
    Property;'Position'
3. I deleted the Wiggle Effect all together and applied you three lines of code ot Position. This produced no results.
Please let me know where I messed up or you need more specific info on my set up?

Unwanted shadow effect?

Hello Acrobat Forum:
I've had an annoying problem with PDF created from InDesign CC for months now, and I can't figure out what's wrong because it seems intermittent, and I can't narrow the variables to figure out when it's happening or why.
Sometimes, a PDF I create from InDesign has an unwanted shadow effect under much of the text, and the colors come out dull and darker. Here is a screenshot of the same PDF file exhibiting the problem and one that does not exhibit it.
Oftentimes, I will export a PDF and it's fine, but then I'll edit something and re-export it, and from that point on, any number of exports to PDF will result in a drop-shadowed file. The drop shadow effect is present at all view magnifications except extremely zoomed in (~1600%)....then it goes away, but the colors are still too dark.
When I export PDF, I am using the same preset I've created each time (including the same ICC profiles), but the results can vary for some reason....
NO PROBLEM:
PROBLEM:
I did manage to find a small discussion about a similar problem, and the suggested solution was to use "Gracol" as the ICC profile the PDF is forced to use during export. That is not a good solution since many times, people I send files to for review will preview PDF attachments in web-based email browsers whose PDF plugins don't support anything but sRGB....
Any ideas what is causing this problem? Or, when it occurs and when it won't? Or, what solutions there might be?
Thanks for reading!

Unwanted special effects in iMovie 6

Macbook pro OSX 10.6.8 iMovie 6
I know i should upgrade but the newer iMovies are not intuitive and v6 does everything i need it to.
Some unwanted special effects are suddenly appearing in my iMovie 6, flying saucers, fireworks, balloons floating thru, flipping, waving screens. I think it must be coming from some shareware installation i looked at for some special purpose, maybe masking or subtitles, but i cannot find any on my computer, (except MeditEdit).
Importing directly from my camera, which i frequently do, is totally messed up.
I have thrown away all the preferences i can find but they keep coming back everytime i open the application iMovie.
Where are they?
What software installed this?
How do i shut it off or kill it?
Help.

Hi
First
• trash iMovie pref files - in User library/preferences - You've said You've done that
• repair permissions - Disk Util tool
Then You can now look into User library/iMovie and here Plug-ins
• I moved all of them out onto DeskTop/Finder - when iMovie IS NOT running.
• Now test iMovie
Alt: Start a new User Account
• Log into this
• Re-try iMovie
Does it run OK now ?

I am sending a single-page poster in Illustrator to a commercial printer. There are several placed graphics and I want to choose the correct file-type to keep my Illustrator file nice and small.

I am sending a single-page poster in Illustrator to a commercial printer. There are several placed graphics and I want to choose the correct file-type to keep my Illustrator file nice and small.

Printers like PDFs, but you should consult with the print vendor before you save the file in any particular format. Each vendor is different and have an established workflow. They may not accept JPGs. If the poster prints offset, you will need to supply the appropriate resolution per their request or what they require. If the poster is large format or grand format, then they will or should know what resolution is appropriate. However, large format inkjet only requires 144-150ppi at 100% final size. Try to get in the habit of consulting with the print vendor early on so you end up supplying what is needed.

Creating a border around the graphic

Can I swap the power supply on my iMac G5 without any unwanted side effects?

Hi All,
I'm new and have searched related posts, but have not found an answer to this exact question.
I have a first generation US version iMac G5. The label says that the power supply is 100-120V. Can I swap the power supply using an internationally rated power supply (100-240V) from a later version iMac G5 without any unwanted side effects? Such as the iMac G5 ALS power supply?
I live China and would prefer not to rely on an external power suppressor or convertor. I would prefer to plug and go.
Thanks,
SGP

How do I remove the white space around a graphics I have placed?

I am working on a pc.
I have placed a graphic into my document that has a white box around it.
I would like to get rid of the white box so only the graphic is seen.
How do I accomplish that?

wasenthay,
If it is a raster image, this is best done in Photoshop, where you can just erase the white pixels (Magic Eraser or something). Without Photoshop, you will have to Image Trace to get a vector rendering which you may expand and then get rid of the white path/part, or to draw round the coloured parts and create a Clipping Mask or similar.
If it is vector artwork, you should be able to just delete the white path(s)/part(s).

White lines appear around placed images in printing.

A native Illustrator document with placed Photoshop (both CS6) images produces whites lines around the placed images when printed. The Illustrator document does not show white lines on screen. Nor does the PDF (Acrobat X Pro) generated from the IA doc show white lines when viewed on screen. When the document goes to press, the printed product show the white lines:
See upper left image and lower right image-note: other images are not affected. Both both are native Photoshop images, placed on a gradient in IA. Perhaps the PDF settings: "Adobe PDF Preset" or "Standard" are not chosen correctly? Why the white lines?

You screenshot shows a modified Illustrator Default preset with Compatability to Acrobat 4. That setting always flattens transparency which is what I would suggest avoiding first.
Note the Warnings summary alerts that transparency will be flattened.

2.That same initial 'Save Adobe PDF' widow allows for three settings: Adobe PDF Preset (12 choices); Standard (6 choices), and Compatibility (5 choices). Note how the window signals a Warning (Warnings: Saving this file with Compatibilty set to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) requires items with transparency to be flattened.) Could this be a warning that produces the stitch lines in the actual printing?
Yes

After researching....
Discussion seems to indicate seeing 'stiching lines' on screen; sometimes in the designing application; or in the generated PDF. My instances are visible only in printing-in two of the four images.
1. Transparency. Is this an automatic occurence in generating the PDF? Can I turn it on/off? (The 'Save Adobe PDF' window that allows changes to: General, Compression, Marks & Bleeds,Output,, Advanced.....)
Transparency is part of some design and all Effects. Note that you can change a color by using a tint or by setting it's transparency. Many times a tint will suffice. It looks the same and has the same values.
Your original screenshot apears to use images with clipping paths. (Full disclosure - I should know this, but don't...I expect) clipping paths require/invoke the transparent background to place the images within the colored area.
You cannot get around transparency but flattening converts vector objects to raster objects (when transparency touches/abuts/interacts with raster images).
You should be able to use the Illustrator Default, High Quality Print or PDFX-4 to maintain live transparency
2 very old (2004) Adobe white papers, not too legnthy which I can shed some light. Note - PDFX-4 superceeds all of these.

Unwanted browser borders around active tabbed panel tabs

I'm getting unwanted borders around the active tabs in my Spry tabbed panels that seem to be added by the browser. For example I'm geting a fuzzy caterpillar border in Safari. Does anyone know how to turn off this effect? Thanks

Its called "outline" or focus borders, its in the browser for accessibility reasons. So when users use keyboard navigation, they know where they are on the page. If don't want it. You can remove it by adding outline:none to the css selector that targets the tabs

Unwanted swatch effect

Sometimes, when I attempt to change the color of a text by clicking on a color in the Swatches list, rather than change the color in the text, it keeps the original text color and adds the newly selected color in the area immediately around the text (in the shape of each of the text characters so that each character is thicker than the original). When this happens, how can I re-set the settings of the Swatch list to return it to its regular functions so I don't get the unwanted effect? Thanks.

Okay, I was able switch what the swatch panel was doing by hitting the x key (I had thought perhaps you meant a "key" icon on the screen), which is good, thanks. The only other thing is whether or not it is possible to change the text that had been changed previously to the undesired font appearance back to the regular appearance. Even after I switch the way the swatch panel works (via your directions), the already-changed text won't change back. Any thoughts?

Unwanted box appears around link

I have a vertical spry menu bar containing text that is linked to an anchor. At first it looks fine, but after I click on one link then a box witha dotted border appears around the linked text that my mouse is scrolling over. I have pasted my code below--does anyone see anything that would cause this or know of a fix? Thanks so much!

The effect of placing retain earning in drawer cost of sales

Dear Experts/Gurus,
I have a problem relate to retained earning G/L account. I have seen there are 2-3 types of GL account retain earning i.e last year, running period and current period.
Some of databases contains 2 or 3.
The problem is that I do not know the effect if running period is placing in drawer cost of sales. usually it is in capital and reserve.
What will be the effect ?
I know I can modify the financial report but the main purpose I still do not know.
I appreciate your answer. TIA
Rgds,

Hi Will,
It means that the account type is not sales and expense but other. It fully depended on company's preference.
Based on these formula I researched:
Gross profit (GP) = retained earning - revenues
Operating profit (OP) = GP - COGS
Profit after financing expenses (PAFE)= OP - Total expenses
Profit period = PAFE - Other revenues and expenses
So, all are fully depended on G/L account location and setting in COA and off course its daily use in the transaction either after it set in the G/L account determination or journal entry transaction.
Rgds,
