White line at print - not in pdf or indesign

Hi there
I am a newbie with indesign, but still managed to create a cv. However, when I print, it creates a white line at the right margin, that is not shown in indesign or in the pdf reader. I have circled the line from the show print screen at the pdf reader - you can see it here: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/833/whybv.png/  what can the problem be?
Thanks in advance... 

I think that it was a display error in Foxit reader, since it do not appear in print screen preview in Adobe Acrobat...  However, the images are here:   ID: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/834/cornerg.png/   Adobe:  http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/713/adobex.png/

  • Why are white lines appearing in images in PDF files but not the original InDesign files?

    Hi folks!
    Let me just start out by saying that I'm not a graphic designer and have basically no experience with graphic design programs, aside from the little futzing around I've tried to do with InDesign. My company (which publishes a monthly magazine) has decided that it would be a great idea to get the files to our magazine from the graphic design firm that actually handles the production end of things so that we may offer back articles, etc., and modify them as needed. Somehow I've gotten assigned the task of handling this. However, I've encountered some problems along the way. The graphic design firm uses Quark, we own InDesign (CS3) and use Markzware to convert the files. Most things seem to work okay in this arrangement but I'm having problems with the images in the file when I create PDFs. Although the images look fine in the InDesign files (and are of print quality), when I create PDFs of some files, thin white lines appear over the images in the PDF document. I asked our graphic designer about this but she has no idea, and she isn't very familiar with InDesign.
    So, my question is, where are these lines coming from and how do I stop them from appearing? As a reminder, I'm not a graphic designer and am fdairly ignorant in design software terminology. If you're kind enough to try to help me with this problem, I'm going to require an explanation in plain English. Basically explain it to me like you would to a 10 year old.
    If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it!
    Thanks in advance,
    Lynn

    I think Bob was typing too fast and meant to ask if you were distilling, not to tell you distill.
    Distilled PDF (you get distilled by printing to PDF rather than exporting) always flattens transparency, which is what makes those white "stitching" lines.
    You can make the stitching disappear on screen by turning off smoothing in the Acrobat prefs, and it shouldn't print on a press, but it sounds like you may be doing the output on a digital machine and it's likely to show on the lower resolution output.

  • Cannot print to Adobe PDF from InDesign CS4 under Snow Leopard (10.6.2)

    Hello All,
    Hopefully the subject line says all. Running SL and CS4, and after manually deleting the "old" Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, I am unable to print to PDF — or select "Save As Adobe PDF" under the Mac OS print dialog. This is insanely frustrating on may levels, as this was once a 3-minute operation and now has stretched into two days of futile searching for a solution.
    There is a "tech doc" somewhere out there that offers a "solution". But beware, as it has not worked for me. Once you manually search for and remove the Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, you are supposed to magically be able to select the "Save As Adobe PDF" option. This is not the case for me.
    Am trying to print, once again, from InDesign CS4 (NOT via the Export command as that will not allow me to set page size, or print separations). There is no Adobe PDF driver there anymore and there is no option to print PDFs. Of course, I can rest easier with the knowledge that everything is easier now in SL.

    For a long time I was printing out of InDesign CS4 to a PS file and Distilling to a PDF, either composite or separated. Then Snow Leopard came along and that workflow seemed no longer available. It seems some well meaning people didn't understand a professional DTP workflow.
    I had to work between two Macs to create a project and then make separations.
    Eventually I went back to the Adobe InDesign forums and folks insisted that a Adobe PDF 9 printer should be available in my print drivers.
    On that suggestion I completely uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and then reinstalled it.
    It worked, I had the PDF printer back and can now print to a postscript file and do separations as I always have.
    (Another story is that Snow Leopard killed my Epson 2200 printer)
    At one stage I did an update of Acrobat 9 and it caused me to lose the Adobe printer again. Going through the procedure again brought it back and this time after a Acrobat 9 update it stuck.
    In my opinion somebody screwed up. It's not enough to be able to create PDFs out of Microsoft Word. There are people out here trying to make a living and need to be able to create print separations for some offset printers.

  • Print Booklet to PDF in Indesign CS5 on Snow Leopard?

    Moving our 200 clients over to CS5 and Snow Leopard and finding out that our one coarse creates booklets and during testing it was noticed that you can't create a pdf from a booklet.
    How does one do this under Snow Leopard now??
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Yea but look right below your circle.  Everything has a white background and looks like it was just thrown there.  Its a wonder they didn't make the "User Accounts and Family Safety" text the same blue color as the other stuff.  Luckily the icon is there to help but its hard on the eyes in my opinion.
    In OS X System Preferences aka Control Panel its far easier to get around in.  If it was Windows 7 it would all be a solid color....see how Personal section is lighter than the Hardware section and it then flip flops as it goes.   Looking at the Windows 7 Control Panel and other things its just a bad visual design.
    But this isn't the place to be talking about this so this will be my last post unless its about PDF printing and Snow Leopard.  Thanks.....

  • PDF displays as grey with a horizontal white line

    I have a 4MB PDF of a family tree generated by MacFamilyTree.  It is about 350 pages if printed. I can view it using Apple's Preview program and Firefox (24.0).  However, if I try to view it using Acrobat Reader (11.0.04) all I get is a grey screen with a white horizontal line.  I can use "Save as..." from Acrobat Reader and save a new PDF.  The new PDF can be viewed just fine in Preview and Firefox, but NOT in Acrobat Reader.
    Relatives on Windows XP and 7 have the same problem of not being able to view the PDF, seeing just a white page.  Some can view it inside their web browsers; some cannot.  Some can view it using Acrobat Reader (no idea which versions); some cannot, seeing the grey page with a white line.
    I sent the PDF file to MacFamilyTree for help, but they said that the problem is with Acrobat Reader and no the PDF itself.  Screen shots of the same file opened in Acrobat Reader (top) and Preview (zoomed in - bottom) are below.  Any suggestions on how to get a PDF to display in Acrobat Reader?

    In the Print Dialogue, choose "Save as AdobePDF" instead of "Save as PDF". Save as PDF saves as a Preview PDF which is why it works in Preview and in Firefox's PDFJS viewer (which ISN'T Adobe based)

  • White lines throughout the printed text.

    How do I get rid of white lines in printed text? 

    In a flat image, your logo edges were antialised and premultiplied with the white background.  When you cut the logo out, you left traces of that white on the edges of your logo.  Without clean edge pixels to work with, the varied colurs of the edge pixels have been applied to the extrusion.
    The best way to deal with this is to
    (a) get a better quality copy of the logo, prefereably in Illustrator/vectorbased format
    OR
    (b) retrace the logo, preferably using paths
    AND/OR
    (c) carefully recolour the edge pixels so they are consistent, rather than pre-blended with white.

  • 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.

  • Problem with tiny white lines appearing in my work

    Hi all,
    I'm very new to photoshop. I find that while I'm working this white noise (and also other times in the form of a bunch of tiny white lines) appears to cover most of my image. See to the right of the man's head as well as from his neck down on the orange background. It's manageable (though annoying and distracting) while working, but I got to thinking what if the finished file displays the lines as well? To test this, I saved it in a few file formats and I still see the lines. Also, this project, including the starting file, is from the adobe tutorial classroom in a book, if that helps. I'm hoping someone can help me! Thanks!

    Thanks for your help.

    I haven't set any scratch discs. Should I set them up at this point?
    The book is showing the same exact image without the lines.
    The attached screen shots show each layer on its own - some show the white lines, some do not. None of the channels show the white lines. They appear often when working with masks.

  • Why do I get white lines surrounding transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Vers

    Why do I get white lines surrounding PSD or Tiff transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Version 9.2?
    I recently upgraded creative suite - now I am having issues with white lines surrounding any tiffs or PSDs when exporting for print.
    I initially thought it was an acrobat viewer problem, but it seems to be effecting print. Please let me know if anyone knows the answer to this problem. thanks!

    PDF settings? Flattener settings? Overprint and trapping settings? You need to be much more specific. Eitehr way, ask in the ID forum.

  • Selphy 910 thick white line, part of photo not printing

    Hi,
    I have a Canon Selphy 910 and any photo i try to print with it comes out with a 1 inch thick white line down the length of the page where nothing has printed. The rest of the photo has printed but not this long black line along the photo,
    It looks like there is something stopping the ink from geting to the page.
    This happens if i print from a windows laptop r straight from an SD card
    I have taken out the paper and the ink cartridge to make sure there is no tape, but all looks fine
    This is a brand new printer staight of the the box
    Any ideas ?

    Thanks Bob, to date I have simply used the High Quality Print default, which is actually Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) - I have never had issues before - until now when I upgraded my software..

  • White Lines Across Powerpoint files converted to PDF

    I have a number of PDF files that were created from Microsoft Powerpoint presentations on a Windows PC. The Preview inspector says they were created with Acrobat Distiller 8.2.2. Until recently, these PDFs looked 100% correct when viewed in Preview or Safari. Now, though, they have horizontal white lines across the pages. There are 6 white lines on each page, evenly spaced, each about 1 pixel in height. They stay at 1 pixel in height even when I zoom in/out on the document. At some zoom levels (100% being one of them), the area above and below some lines will become misaligned. When viewed with Adobe Reader 9, the lines are not there but the misalignment is (though it is not exactly the same as in Preview). Unfortunately, I can't say when this started happening other than it was fine in September (2010) and isn't this afternoon (Nov 22, 2010). It happens on a coworker's Macbook Pro as well as my iMac so it is not something unique to my Mac.
    Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas as to how to fix it?

    Hi, I am having this problem also on my iMac. Some of the images have the lines and some of them don't. When the PDFs are printed, the lines don't show. My problem is that these PDFs will be linked to on a website for the clients to print, and they will seem them with the lines. They are pretty unsightly, and my boss has put this into my lap to figure out, since I am the designer. Did you ever find an answer for this? I don't know where else to turn, since this company is insisting on using Pages, rather than something like InDesign.
