White boarders around artboard when creating pdf in CS4

Hi,
have been trying to find solution for this issue for 4 hours now and im loosing my mind:)) ... so decided to ask some help from you guys.
Problem: im trying to create pdf file with black background in Illustrator cs4 and white thin boarders keep appearing to the right and bottom of the page. I have streched the background image so that its bigger than the artboard but white lines are still there when pdf is opened?!? I guess there is extremeley easy solution for this (kind a "you forgot to tick the box from x menu") but i just cant figure out .... so all the help is most wellcome!!!
Thank you in advance!
Jimi

@ Jacob --- you're half correct, in that it's a small bug, or smoothing artifact in the Preview application from Apple.
White boarders go away when you uncheck "Smooth text and line art" in Preview Preferences, under the PDF tab. Since that makes everything very pixelated, I don't recommend keeping that setting on.
Instead, consider installing Adobe Reader or using Acrobat Pro, where incidentily, the very same phenomonen can occur. In Acrobat Pro, you can also toggle "Smoothing" in the Preferences, Page Display dialog.
TIP: Preview works best with RGB PDFs, whereas if you are doing print production work, I would suggest using either Acrobat Reader, or Pro which is my preference because of the soft-proofing and print production tools.

[AS][INDCC] How to set Color Conversion field to No Color Conversion when creating PDF Export preset

How can i set Color Conversion field in Export to PDF dialog to No Color Conversion when creating PDF Export preset? i have done a bit of searching and have found where it has been recommended to set effective pdf destination profile to use no profile but it doesn't seem to be producting the expected results.

Yes, it seems that i had to make the change after creation, not while creating the preset. thank you.

Acrobat distiller keeps on quitting when creating pdf

Hi there, my Acrobat distiller 10 in OS X Mountain Lion keeps on quitting when creating pdf. Please help.

Hello,
1. Please try updating the Acrobat to 10.1.10 and then check the issue.
2. Go to Settings -> Font Locations. You'll see a list of sources that Distiller gets its fonts from. Make sure that the paths actually exist, delete them if they don't.
3. Try with different joboptions.

Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's

Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's. Where can I downlaod it and why is it suddenly happening?

OS? Version of ID?
This means that either you have an extra Helvetica Medium font installed and it's interfering with ID finding the T1 version, or the T1 version is damaged. I found this really old thread that explains it fairly well: http://www.asadesigner.com/22-indesign/2d812de56777cc90.htm
The good news is that it's probably only affecting the page information marks.

When creating PDFs from WORD 2010 I cannot get the TOC heading entries as hyperlinks

When creating PDFs from WORD 2010 I cannot get the TOC heading entries as hyperlinks. I used to be able to do this in WORD 2003. I tried to create a PDF from Acrobat by selecting File > Create PDF >navigate to the WORD file > select three checkboxes >
Any help with getting the TOC heading entries as hyperlinks?

Try to do it from Word using the ribbon.

White lines around PNGs when exported to PDF

I am having the problem that imported images frequently have white bars around the outside of the image when the document is exported as a PDF. Looking at the two images currently affected I notice they are both PNG images. I fixed the image that was just rectangular in shape by just turning it into a JPEG as I did not require the use of transparency, but the second object is a different matter and I require the use of PNGs transparency. These lines are not present when in indesign normally.
The line is only noticable in one spot where a black rectangle meets the black background (only the top of the rectangle is visible against the black as one side is covered and the other side is out of the crop area) so I am not certain if this is the only spot it is occuring.
The line is not even a straight white line!
I have had this problem before with lines appearing around objects which should not be there, as well as objects not appearing as they do in inDesign, any advice for fixing this?

Ok guys I don't know what was wrong with my old TIFF image, but I swapped it out for a TIFF image which had a gradient fading from black to transparent as opposed to a straight black box and now the line is not there *shrug* it seems quite weird to me since I made sure the image was correct by cutting off the top segmant of the image where the trouble was.... but I dunno....
The exact same image in illustrator or photoshop showed up fine.. so I cannot understand what the problem was
EDIT: GAK!! its back on a new image I just put into the document same problem except it is on all sides of the black rectangle... *shakes fist* bah I will put another bloody gradient around the stupid thing....which by the way worked and the gradient was placed on the bottom layer so I dont see how it could be the image? I think this is proving that the problem is with acrobat (or saving from indesign) not the image...
NOTE: I would rather not post the files for various reasons

Drop shadow not knocking out when creating pdf

Hi all,
firstly using ID CS3 and Acrobat 8 on 10.5
When I use the drop shadow function on text in ID looks great on screen, when I create the pdf file I end up with a big white box around all the text. this is driving me crazy.
thanks in advance.

>If this is the case, then convert the colour to process in the swatches panel.
Unless, of course, it's SUPPOSED to be a spot color. In that case, you will need to make sure that your PDF viewer (e.g., Acrobat) and the printer/RIP/workflow system are set to honor, not ignore overprints.

"Macros in this project are disabled..." error message when creating PDF files

The following error occurs when creating a PDF file using a document that was created from a MS Word 2007 templates.
"Macros in this project are disabled..."
The security settings are set appropriately - it's not that. I have done everything I can think of including asking Microsoft; they say it's not them. It may not be, but I do not know how to get around it. It did not happen before upgrading my templates to the Office 2007 format.
Has this happened to anyone else? There is no coding within th etemplates regartding PDFs. We are using Adobe Professional X. The error only occurs when we use Adobe Pro X.
One thing I just noticed, our templates get the following message when we go to save as a PDF using Adobe:
Acrobat PDFMAker needs to save the file before continuing. Do you want PDFMaker to save the file and continue?

Does it work the first time after you delete your Normal.dotm file? You may be running into the same issue that is detailed in this post Unable to open document. Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file.

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.

Problem with Buttons/Form Fields in Acrobat PDF when created in InDesign CS4

So I have been working for quite some time on an interactive form for an internal client at my job. It has two major components, one is the side bar navigation, which I created using buttons in InDesign which link to bookmarks in the document. The second aspect is that I also created "check boxes" accoring to this video: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/cs4/articles/lrvid4434_ds.html
I have two major issues:
1. Whenever I try to convert my boxes to form fields in Acrobat it will not recognize them unless I save out 4 pages at a time (rather than the whole document).
2. I then have to combine the document and get multiple sets of bookmarks, and some bookamrks are corrupted (not working properly). Even when I try to convert the whole document some of the buttons are corrupted.
UGH tired of this project, I am really bastardizing the whole thing to get it done, but want to figure out the problem as this is an ongoing document that we will be using over and over again in future years.
I am attaching the pdf file--this is a pieced together one (saved out 4 pages at a time) (which I did do some fixes to to get buttons to go to proper locations) and the original indesign file (partial file due to size).
PLEASE OH PLEASE HELP ME!

Acrobat's Form Wizard is good but not perfect when creating form data from a PDF. I have never encountered Acrobat not able to finish the process of creating all form fields, but have encountered very slugish performance afterwards when there was a lot of forms, buttons, and other elements within the pages. And I would say, from your attached PDF, it is pretty heavy with content. I am going to suggest an idea, but I have not tested this to see if it would work.
In InDesign, create a layer for your navigation tabs, and a layer for your text with the check boxes. Create two PDFs from ID, one PDF with just your-nav tabs, the second with just your text with check boxes. In Acrobat, perform the Form Wizard on the second PDF and see if this will finish, the idea here is to reduce the cllutter for the Form Wizard to finish. If it does, you can merge the first PDF as a layer with the second to have a completed document. Again, I have not tested this theory.

XMP Metadata Error when creating PDF/A-1b

Hello,
I just started using Adobe Acrobat X for Mac to create PDF/A-1b documents from scanned TIFs. I created a script in the Action Wizard to 1) Combine Files into a Single PDF; 2)Downsample image resolution to 150 ppi (bitmaps to 300 ppi); 3) Recognize Text;4) Pause to find all suspects and make corrections to incorrect OCR; 5) Convertto PDF/A-1b (sRGB); and 6) Verify compliance with PDF/A-1b.
When I use the Action Wizard to to execute the script above I receive an error message stating "Metadata does not conform to XMP." However, when I execute each of the actions manually I do not receive the XMP metadata error. It takes a long time to execute each action manually, so I am hoping there is some way to make this full script work in the Action Wizard.
I have an open case with Adobe regarding this issue, but so far no solutions.

I do not receive an error when the "Verify compliance with PDF/A-1b" action is removed from the script. Does this action have to be performed separately to avoid the XMP metadata error?

Letters change when creating PDF

I am using Acrobat Professional 6 and creating PDFs with the "Adobe PDF" icon it created when installed.
Some documents from the Bloomberg system are converted by a sort of substitution cypher to gibberish. Capital letters are affected, but not lowercase. Capital letters are changed to the next letter in the alphabet. Also, numerals are increased by one. Exclamation points replace spaces, forward slashes replace periods, etc.
For example, the original said this:
Crandon Capital Partners v. Shelk, 202 Ore. 537
The PDF says this:
Drandon!Dapital!Qartners!v/!Shelk/!313!Pre/!648
This is repeatable on different days and with different files.
This does not happen with files from other sources, but the Bloomberg tech people insist it doesn't happen for them. I learned they are using Acrobat 8; could that be the difference?
In any case, how do I fix it?
Peter W. Schroth

Look at the document properties (ctrl-D) under the font tab. You probably did not embed the fonts. I suspect you are using the Standard Settings which does not embed all fonts. Try changing the settings file to Press or Paper (I don't remember which ones are listed for AA8). You can also check the settings to be sure that the fonts are embedded (all of them) and probably subset.

Corrupt image formatting when creating pdf from embedded visio image in MS word

Hello, Using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard and trying to create a PDF file from an MS word (version 2003) document. PDF file created is fine except for an image (embedded visio diagram imported into word). When created in PDF, the image is missing many of the diagram labels, and other text boxes are in the wrong font and wrong location. I don't know if it's my Adobe Acrobat or MS Word settings that need to be updated.
thanks, NB

Dear fellows,
the problem is still present. My system:Windows 7 32-Bit Prof, MS Office 2010 Prof, Acrobat X Pro 10.1.1, Vision 2010 Prof, all updates installed.
Problem #1: Even the latest Acrobat X 10.1.1 version causes Visio 2010 to start with error messages, origin: the Acrobat Add-In. Therefore I de-activated the Acrobat Add-In, again, as in the past.
As I design grafics with Visio 2010, I mark them in the active Visio window, copy the marked parts and then insert them into my Word-Document. So far, so good and as I want it.
The (still present) problem: I can produce a PDF file using the "save as Adobe PDF", but the Visio drawing is incomplete and corrupt. E.g. arrows as line endings have disappeared.
PS: But using Adobes PDF printer sets the embedded Visio drawing correctly! But using the printer one looses some features of the "save as Adobe PDF" command.
Well, probably one day ...
Regards,
Rückenlehne.

PDF Bookmarks - Change Default Width When Creating PDF File from InDesign

When creating a PDF file (from Indesign CS4) I automatically create the PDF bookmarks based on the InDesign document's Table of Contents.
But by default the width in the bookmarks is always set at "Fit Page".
Is there a way to change the default to "Fit Width" in Indesign before the PDF is created?
It's too much trouble to change every bookmark in the PDF after it's created.
Thanks for any help in advance!

Thanks, Steve. I have actually previously done what "fogharty" suggests and it does work if I want to set the pages to "fit width" or a variety of other options. However, none of the options is inherit zoom which is what I, and many other from the sound of the thread, need and want. We want to respect our end users--not dictate how they must view our PDFs. Hopefully, Adobe will listen and make this option available soon.

Acrobat 9 Quits When Create PDF from Scanner Selected

Hi. I wonder if anyone can advise please.
I have recently installed Acrobat 9 on my MacBook Pro and have plenty of RAM. However, I can "Create PDF from Scanner" just the once. After that, Acrobat quits when I select Scan or quits if I cancel the scan.
I have tried the following:
1. Troubleshoot System Errors & Freezes
2. New User account
3. Recreated Preferences
4. Booted from separate disk
5. Repaired disk permissions
6. Have no third party plug-ins installed
7. Have run Repair Acrobat
8. Changed Universal Access
9. Defragmented disk & repaired files
10. Safe Boot and reinstall Acrobat
Nothing has worked except when I clean install I can scan through Acrobat once.
I can scan from the scanner software - Lexmark 4850 - with a jpeg straight to Acrobat but want to try to solve the issue of scanning straight from the app.
Thanks for your help people.
Regards
Paul

After I discovered my problem of quitting after completing the scan of the first side of a 2-sided document and decided to go to Adobe for help, I should have known I was in real trouble after following their instructions for locating the Acrobat serial number. After bringing up the splash screen and clicking on it, instead of seeing the number the splash screen disappeared! So I had no option but to use the phone. Then their help person couldn't give me the serial number- he had to transfer me- and I chose to stay with him for help instead. He decided it was a conflict between the Acrobat & HP software and ended the help session.
I then did some on-line research and discovered others with the same problem, and came up with the comparison test with the Windows version. Adobe's phone system didn't recognize my Case #, but the second Help person said it worked fine. At that point, I got the feeling that I was in real trouble. After another hour going over the same ground and repeated denials that their software was at fault, the Helper refused my request that they do a Windows comparison test or send me a Windows version to test myself and promised to call me back with results of their "research". That call never came.
On the third call, again with the Case # unrecognized by the phone system, the Helper was even more unhelpful, probably after reading the record of the first two calls. He insisted on going back to the machine and over the same ground once again, and I ended the call.
I agree that the on line approach is better, and I may have to make a double call to get the serial number (neither of the two I have, each different on the case or on the CD worked) and try that if my request for a supervisor fails. Fortunately they are so incompetent that they can't track starting over.
I'm not a programmer, but have lots of varying experience with computers dating back to the first Atari-400. Since your Acrobat uses only the Twain driver component from your scanner software, the first place to look for a problem is in the Acrobat software, especially since the software doesn't run again after the first use without reinstalling, and the scanner continues to perform properly using it's installed software. The Windows comparison test such as Tim Whitfield was able to make, would clearly establish the Mac version of the Acrobat software to be at fault, but would still not resolve our problems. Unfortunately I hold out little hope for either you or I with Adobe, since neither their phone nor the online help has come up with a prior fix. This indicates a bug fix requirement, which for something like this looks to be a relatively long time in coming.
