White Box Replaces Imported Logo

Hi, I have a 4 page brochure, that when I print the following happens:
1. Only 1 of many imported logo prints as a white box
2. some content doesn't print
3. an item (north arrow) from my library, prints a white box
4. the 4th page doesn't print.
Brochure built in CS3.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think the info needed is something like this
You OS and system info, the type of print device you are printing to and also what type of files are imported into your indesign file.
You can make a copy of your file and start removing items one at a time until you figure out which item is causing the issue.
Once you have it narrowed down to the item that causes the problem then you can either go out and resave that item in its native program or resave it in another manner.
For example: Your offending item is an EPS file created with Illustrator. Go and resave the file in Illustrator (use a new name for it), and then import the new file in and see if that fixes the issue. If not open the eps with photoshop and resave as a tiff or PSD if you need transparancy. Not the best idea to rasterize a file with photoshop, but it may get you around your issue.

White box around my logo help

I designed a logo in FH 3.1 years ago and it is an
oval. Now in the PC I have Freehand MX and There is a white box
around the oval that is not really part of the design. Cant get rid
of it and need to use the logo

I have also been trying to solve the same problem. Where does one take an already created watermark and make it transparent? I have Photoshop on my old Mac and e-mailed my solid white background watermark to myself, opened it in Photoshop and "erased" the white background. Transfered it back to my Lightroom on my MacBookPro and exported the test photo w/ the "erased" background watermark. I had no idea if it would work….it did not. OR : How does one create a transparent watermark? I have a graphic I want to use w/ my name. Please HELP!!!

How do you remove white box around a logo?

I own the Adobe CS5 suite, but I'm still new to these programs and don't know a lot about image editing and website creation.
I'm making a website for my boss, and because I don't know how to use Dreamweaver yet, I've been using an awful software program called "Website Tonight," which is very basic and limited, but pretty self explanatory.
Originally, when I tried to insert the company's logo onto the website, there was a white box showing up around the logo. I tried several things to cut the white parts out, and it looked like it worked in photoshop, but the box continued to show up on the website.
Eventally I decided to try to fill in the white parts with the blue background color of the website so it would blend in, and I was successful at this. However, somehow, for some reason, even though this box is the exact color of the background, the top right corner and right side of the box surrounding the logo can be seen on the website. The box isn't visible on the other sides. From what I can tell, there is no shadow selected when I have this image in photoshop, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place.
I've looked for solutions online and haven't been able to find any that work. The logo isn't a link on the website, so it isn't related to that. I don't know if this is something that can be fixed in photoshop, or if it's css related, or what. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Here's a picture I took of the computer screen that shows how the logo is appearing. I filled the white box in with the blue background color of the website hoping to make it blend in, but the box is still visible in the upper right corner and around the middle of the letter C, but not visible in the lower right corner or any other part of the box I filled in. The color in this area is appearing slightly darker than the background, making the boxe's outline visible on the right. The fill color is the exact color of the background and the rest of the areas of the box I filled in. I've tried saving this as a png file and as a jpg.

White box with QT logo and '?"

HI,
I've uploaded a QT movie to my website. It previews ok in dreamweaver although when I check online I get a QT place holder with a '?' inside. I'm using IE, I've tried Firefox but it made no difference. I've uninstalled and reinstalled QT latest versions. Anyone know how to solve the problem, it's driving me nuts.
Any help appreciated.

Well I'm going to bed..gotta be up at 5 am..hopefully they fix it by then and crossing my fingers that I can get stuff back in morning!
Thanks phil

Exporting an Indesign PDF to JPEG causes logo dropshadow to have white box--why?

Hi all,
I have an Indesign document with a logo in the header. This logo (a linked .png file) has a dropshadow applied to it using Indesign's drop shadow fx (the drop shadow was not created with the graphic in a graphics program). When I export this document to a PDF, everything appears fine. However, when I then convert this PDF to a .JPEG, something happens to the logo--a white box is shown around the logo. I am guessing it's a transparency issue that is causing this white box. If so, why? Why do I get this "white box" around the logo when I export a PDF to a jpeg?
Thanks for any clues anyone can provide to this strange phenomenon.

Hmm.
From the first post, I was thinking the work-flow was:
Export from ID to PDF
Open PDF following its creation
Using Acrobat's file menu, export as JPG
As fars as #2 above, if the checkbox in ID's Export as PDF dialog box is checked, the PDF is opened automatically in Acrobat (if installed). Is this what you mean by "it launches its internal Acrobat dialogue box"?
As far as an internal setting, try exporting directly from ID. Select the items to be exported and when you get to the export dialog, make sure the "Selection" setting is chosen. Then you may be able to isolate whether it is ID (cannot imagine) or it is the PDF export profile, or even one of Acrobat's settings for exporting images.
Take care, Mike

Why does my chart build as a white box rather than a line in slideshow?

In creating a line chart, no matter which master theme I use, whenever I select "wipe" as my build, it looks great in the build preview window, but when I view play slideshow, a white box replaces my chart. Sure, I could use other build options, but when you're trying to represent the volatility of the stock market, wipe is the only one that truly works. Any ideas?

Thanks for responding. I'm using Keynote 3.0.1 and OS X 10.3.9. In addition, each time I try to send the file to someone else to see if they're having the same problem, they can't open any of my files (I've created several versions) because it tells them they are damaged. Wondering if I need a newer, faster computer?

CS5: I often get white box behind logos when importing

This has happened a few times now. I import a logo from CS5 and place over a color background and get a white box. I end up copying the logo from AI and pasting directly into ID. Not an ideal workflow. In the attached, the left image is the Walgreens logo imported into ID and placed over a light tan field. The image on the right is the logo in AI. I put a black background and you can see there is no white box. This is happening whether I import into CS4 or 5. The logo is CS5 AI.

Looks like InDesign is trying to create the transparency, rather than using what Illustrator has defined in the postscript.
Select the placed .ai file, InDesign >> Object >> Clipping Path >> Options >> (Make sure type is set to none, detect edges would cause this)

Why does illustrator create white boxes from shadows when imported into indesign

When a logo created in illustrator cs4 has either shadows applied or gaussian blurs applied on letter shapes and is then put into a frame/picture box in indesign with a coloured background, it brings in white boxes. It does not happen in illustrator when a coloured box is placed on a layer down. If anyone has come across the same problem or knows why it's happening, please let me know. pic attached
Many Thanks
Bruce

http://forums.adobe.com/message/1259040#1259040
look at post 6 which says
Your transparency blend space needs to match you output color space.
To simplify it for now, if you are outputting to a RGB device, change your color mode to RGB before printing. Undo back to cmyk to continue working on the document.
Does this solve your issue?

Dropshadows with white box from logo created illustrator EPS, HELP?

Does anyone know the best way to keep a dropshadow we created in illustrator for a logo? we have tried a photoshop transparent file, the element created in illustrator (in this case an oval with a blur) and everytime we place in InDesign, we get a white box, frustrating!!!!

By vendor, do you mean the printer? or the client?
If the client:
1) Politely say No.
2) Then explain to them patiently, like to a child how 2+2=4, that EPS is not a valid nor modern file format to use with InDesign and that you are the expert and are being paid for you expertise in such technical design matters.
3) Otherwise, you take no responsiblity for the output and will have them sign off on that fact to cover your ***.
The client, in my experience, only wants a product that meets or exceeds their expectations. They don't have to know how you did it.
If a printer:
1) get him/her to explain why or how it must be EPS in a InDesign workflow. Then if not satisfied with their explanation...
2) get another printer who is working in the 21st century.

Replacing Graphics w/ White Boxes For Printing?

Hey!
Is it possible to replace graphics/images with white boxes when exporting/printing? Using the "Omit for OPI" option produces black boxes - even worse for saving ink!
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Lars

You can use the Attributes panel to make individual items non-printing or you can put them all one one non-printing layer. When you print proofs or make proof PDFs for the client you can include non-pri ting objects. Turn that option off for the final output/PDF.

Can't import...blank white box

Hi,
I can't seem to import anymore. When I try.....nothing happens (such as the genie effect). Then when I move my cursor over the viewer, a large blank white box appears.
I read another thread that suggested getting rid of the plist. So I tried that and still it doesn't work. I also tried rebuilding the library. This didn't solve it either.
I've restarted and repaired permissions on the computer but none of this helped. Any suggestions? Anyone else had this blank white box problem?
Thanks,
jabberwock

I am running 2.1
After examining the situation more.....I see that this problem exists for any kind of import if it involves the Aperture menu. Or maybe I mean importing from within Aperture. So whether I am using a card reader or importing files on the desktop...this causes the problem described above.
However, if I drag a photo into a project in Aperture from anywhere on my HD, then all seems well. I get the usual "import complete" dialog box. The image is imported and no white or grey box obscuring everything else.
After searching the discussions I could only find one other instance of this and it wasn't resolved (in the thread anyway). http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6980776&#6980776
I wish I could figure out what is causing this but at least I can import by dragging "into" Aperture. As long as I do not use the import from within Aperture everything seems okay.

Hi, purchased a I phone5s last evening, had to change it due to a hardware issue, got a replacement unit which comes in the white box, is it a brandnew device or a refurbished device, really worried, pls help thanks..

Hi, purchased a I phone5s last evening, had to change it today due to a hardware issue, got a replacement unit which comes in the white box, is it a brandnew device or a refurbished device, really worried, pls help thanks..

Hi, if you bought the product brand new and was provided to you defective, you must be provided with a brand new replacement. Furthermore, if anyone provides refurbished phones, it must clearly state this either on the box or in the paperwork for that phone.

White box around image in my transparent .swf file

I created a .swf file for a header of a website using a logo that tweens in. I tested the .swf with the transparent properties and it works but the logo I imported from photoshop has a white box around it, how can I remove this? Do I need to import a transparent .png file instead of a .jpg?
Thanks!

.png's are lossless vector graphics, so it's probably best bet if your going to do other things with the logo. .jpg's are not fond of resizing. You can also break the image apart and use the lasso tool and magic wand the background away.

White Box in Photoshop PDFs

When I import a Photoshop PDF into my indesign file, I get a white box in back of it. (I made sure when importing that the preserve transparency box is checked in the import dialog in InDesign.) The logo I am importing has one raster object inside of it and the rest is all vector. I tried deleting out the raster object and then re-importing into InDesign. The white box goes away when I do this. Is it not possible to have a raster object inside of a Photoshop PDF and still keep the transparency?
What did I wrong?

U must be using IN CS 2. You need to create an Alpha mask and apply it as a clipping.
OR
You have a Spot channel in your image. It will not work cuz its still not fixed - even in CS3 products.
Besides that, The Photoshop PDF file format has a confusing bug in it that allows you to save the document after creation but during edit - does not apply the changes so you think you saved the file, but you have not. Then it throws up a dialog telling you that you need to save the file in a different format because you can not save the file with all the features you are trying to do.
Compiled by the fact that you can't turn a Spot channel back into a Alpha channel just creates a cluster for you in the end to try and work around the problem.

White box keeps appearing over list items in design view, I want to know why ?

In my footer area, I have 4 vertical lists that act as my sitemap links, but when I hover over them in design view the entire list gets replaced with a white box and then when I move my mouse away the white box disapears and the list shows again. This does not happen in live view but I would like to know why it does that, or if this will happen when the site goes live, or it just a design view bug.
thank you for any help
