White line in PDF Presentation

I have created a PDF Presentation in CS3 using 120 jpg images. An occasional page has a thin, white line across it, cutting through both text and image. Does anyone know what is causing this? I work on Mac G5 with OSX.

I checked again and am looking at the white lines when at 100%. However, if I boost it up to 122% it disappears. Then when I drop back to 100% it is gone! I am not interested in printing, but am producing disks with the pdf for family enjoyment (I hope). I'll have to see what happens when I burn it on to a disk. Thanks everyone for your comments and help.

  • Problem with Thin White Line in PDF

    I am encountering an appearance issue in a pdf created from a FrameMaker 11 file, using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and Adobe Acrobat Distiller X. The pdf displays a table that has black lines running vertically between every other column. In the column in between these lines, there appears to be a thin white line displaying. If I enlarge the pdf to 200%, the white line disappers. I right-clicked on the pdf and in the menu under "Page Display Preferences ...", I chose "Page Display" under the "Categories" column and then "Rendering". I then iuncheck the "Enhance thin lines" feature and this removes the thin line from the pdf. However, if I process another pdf for a different FrameMaker 11 file, the "Enhance thin lines" feature is unchecked and this affects the appearance of these other pdfs. Consequently, I need to reselect the "Enhance thin lines" feature in order to process these pdfs. However, if I reselect this, I'm noticing that when I open the pdf that has the thin line issue, the thin line is visible and the "Enhance thin lines" feature is selected. Is there a way to adjust this, so that the "Enhance thin lines" feature is removed for only this one pdf, but is selected for the other pdfs?

    I think you are seeing Stitching Lines. If you can zoom in and the width does not change, they likely stitching lines. (Any actual content should scale proportionate)
    Do a search for the term .
    Stitching Lines are an on screen artifact which do not print (on high resolution ouput) caused by transparency flattening. You use of Distiller joboption probably invokes flattening.
    Enhance Thin Lines is a local preference of Acrobat. I doubt it could be retained in a file.

  • White lines in PDF folios

    Hi.
    Does anyone can explain me, whi there are thin white lines in imported PDF files? There is no visible lines in Acrobat (or in printed magazine). I am using print PDF-s as my input.
    To be correct, not every page or image has them.

    There’s your problem right there. The files were flattened and you’re seeing the stitching.
    Get PDF X/4 files instead.

  • White Lines in PDF

    We receive PDF documents from various sources to be compiled into a single PDF for view on ereader devices. On some of the documents, white lines appear. This is a common problem judging by the amount of posts but I cannot find a suitable answer.
    Most answers are for print or by switching line smoothing off. None is viable. We ideally don't want to go back to source to save it as a flattened pdf etc. Is there a way in acrobat pro or livecycle to batch process these pages to remove the lines?

    There’s your problem right there. The files were flattened and you’re seeing the stitching.

  • PDF - Thin White Lines Present

    Hi there,
    When I "print" as a PDF file from my .ai file, thin white lines appear in the PDF where frame edges would normally be invisible.
    Is there a way to create the PDF without this happening? And, why is this happening?
    If this has something to do with not flattening my artwork before I create a PDF, then how do I do that?
    Thank you!
    Nicki

    You are giving him a PDF file.
    The problem is that he is literally ruining the content of the file by converting the PDF file to a raster image in Photoshop and then printing that, in other words it looks like your printer is using Photoshop as a “poor man's RIP!” The transparency effects in your PDF/X-4 file are being flattened at whatever resolution your printer sets the Photoshop image to be. In fact, transparency blending should be performed at the printer's RIP where such flattening artifacts that you are seeing are avoided.
    You say you don't have your choice of printer?
    Would you say you don't have your choice of physician if a doctor told you he was going to do an appendectomy by operating through your nose? Would you claim you don't have your choice of physician?
    Professional incompetence is professional incompetence. If you have a “printer” who is really printing PDF files by opening them in Photoshop and printing directly from Photoshop to the device somehow, you are dealing with demonstrable incompetence!
    The advice to find another printer is the best advice that we (including Adobe) can provide to you!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Preview displays pdfs with distorted colours and thin white line on the border

    Preview Version 7.0 (826.4) on 10.9.5 displays pdfs with cmyk images in it in distorted colours and thin white line on the border of the page despite in the original .indd file the image runs into bleed. The display errors aren't present in acrobat reader 10.1.12 or acrobat pro 9.3.4. Any idea? Thanks

  • 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.

  • PDF white lines when placing in Illustrator

    I have some PDF graphics created using MapInfo software.
    When I attempt to place the PDF map as a layer in Illustrator, the map appears with numerous white lines as though each polygon area of the original map has been broken up into individual squares.
    Is there some setting in Distiller to overcome this problem?
    Should I be creating an EPS map file and then using that as a layer in Illustrator?

    How was the PDF created? Printed, Exported? Some other method?
    If nothing else helps, you could do the following: it looks like the problems are only in drop shadows and text. You could delete both from the Power Point file, export, save or print the PDF. Then import into Illustrator and recreate shadows and text there.
    I don't think you could transfer the complete graohic from PP to Illy as vector anyway. So rather get away with as much as you can and then complete it.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • Viewing a pdf in Firefox browser has white lines. How can I fix the problem?

    Viewing a pdf document in the FireFox browser (other browsers the document is fine) shows white lines though the pictures. I have tried different ways to save the document (printing or save as) as a pdf and I either get white lines or missing content while viewing on Firefox.

    Please update to the latest version of Firefox.
    *[[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
    Also make sure that your graphics card drivers and WebGl drivers are up to date
    *[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Which pdf viewer are you using?
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac).
    #In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • White Lines on Live Traced Artwork in PDF from Illustrator CS3

    Hi,<br /><br />I've recently been using the Live Trace feature in Adobe Illustrator CS3 on my artwork so that my artwork becomes a vector image instead of a raster (I'm told it's better for Web because it works better with varying resolutions - doesn't become pixelated).  For my live trace, I use a custom preset:<br /><br />ADJUSTMENTS-<br />Mode: Color<br />Threshold: 128 (grayed out)<br />Palette: Automatic<br />Max Colors: 256<br />Output to Swatches: OFF<br />Blur: 0 px<br />Resample: 600 px<br />Fills: ON <grayed out><br />Strokes: OFF (grayed out)<br /><br />TRACE SETTINGS-<br />Max Stroke Weight: 10 px (grayed out)<br />Min Stroke Length: 20 px (grayed out)<br />Path Fitting: 1 px<br />Minimum Area: 1 px<br />Corner Angle: 1<br />Ignore White: OFF<br /><br />VIEW-<br />Raster: No Image<br />Vector Tracing Result<br /><br />The preview info, located under the dialogue bubble with the i states:<br />Paths: 4894<br />Anchors: (no number)<br />Colors: 148<br />Areas: 4822<br />Image PPI: 200<br /><br />I don't know if that helps anyone, but that's just the preset I've used to get a sharper, almost fully preserved vector version of my raster image.<br /><br />When I want to convert it to a PDF file using the File > Save As... > Save as type: PDF with the following preset:<br /><br />Adobe PDF Preset: Illustrator Default<br />Standard: None<br />Compatibility: Acrobat 8 (PDF 1.7)<br /><br />Then, my image as viewed in the Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional has several white lines, outlining areas of color.  You can see it here: <br /><br />http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Mont-ImmortalSquirrel/Ai-PDF_whitelines.jpg<br /><br />The image connected to this link was captured with PrntScrn and copied into Photoshop, cropped, and saved as a jpeg.  The issue is perfectly preserved, as you can see the white lines outlining areas of color.  This problem is persistent despite the zoom level in Acrobat 8.  <br /><br />Just another little bit of information, the problem is most noticeable in the red area and not the cream/white and yellow areas.  When I was working on the original raster image in Photoshop CS3, the cream/white area was done with the Ellipse Tool, using Bevel and Emboss in the Blending Options.  The same goes for the yellow area, which was done with the Line Tool.  The red area was done manually, with the Brush Tool, Smudge, Blur, Burn, etc.<br /><br />I'm telling you guys just about everything I've done leading up to this issue.  But, if there's something you need to know more, I'll try to figure out what I could've possibly done wrong to get this result.

    I too get this result when using LiveTrace. My simple solution to this problem was to just place a solid color shape behind that section of the trace where it occurs that is the same color as the trace. Simple...but it worked.
