White lines in InDesign CS6

I'm using ID CS6 on a mac with OS 10.7.4 (Lion). I want to draw a white line. I'm using either the pen tool or the line tool and clicking on the "paper" swatch in the swatches palette to color the stroke white. The line immediately disappears. It doesn't matter how thick I make the line. If I click on a text box, choose "stroke" and "paper" for the stroke color, I get a white line around the text box. Picking other colors creates a visible line with the chosen stroke color. Only the "paper" swatch makes my stroke disappear.

Hey c….. thanks for asking for the screen shot of the panels. As I studied them for awhile before taking the shot, I noticed that I have the effects set to "multiply" instead of "normal" !!!
Stupid, but I probably would never have caught it if you hadn't asked to see my panels. 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.

  • White lines appear on OAM placed in InDesign

    Hello. This is my first post in the forums.
    I've just placed my first OAM file into an InDesign folio. The initial/downstage image views great in both Edge Animate and InDesign but once the folio is uploaded and viewed on a tablet device horizontal white lines appear. Has anyone experienced this behavior with OAM files and tablets? I've seen postings about white lines appearing in PDFs but not folios. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
    Thanks!

    >The lines did not appear on any of the printed images,
    Although it is odd that three computers exhibit the same problem, and unless you can provide other coincidences (same files, same monitor, etc.), I agree. The video card is typically the culprit IF the image anomalies don't print and if they move about with each image resizing or opening of a specific image. Check to see if it's properly seated and connected. Same for monitor cable. Try swapping in another card.
    One other thought: as this is a CRT monitor, what happens if you change the resolution and refresh rate? Are you using a recommended combination for that monitor?

  • 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.

  • White line appears on screen in Indesign

    Using networked PC XP Pro, ID CS3 3 MB RAM, Core2 1.82 Ghz
    I am getting fine white lines running horizonatally on the left side of my monitor-- always on left side and about 3 inches long from left edge) but it appears only in Indesign. They are just on the screen and they move as a I scroll, so it is not pixels missing.
    Have changed video card to one with bigger memory and it did not solve it. Also swapped out monitors with no change.
    It appears to be an issue with ID or perhaps Adobe suite.
    My coworker also gets the same thing on his home computer (PC CS2 in Indesign only as well)
    Anyone have any suggestions or heard of this?

    > so this is an in fact an issue with Indesign?
    Yes, and it seems to not be particular about the type of monitor. I've seen it on LCD and CRT.

  • 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/

  • InDesign CS3- Appearing white lines when uploading

    Hi Everyone... I've created a brochure, standard 8.5x11 trifold, in InDesign. Everything comes out great, up until I upload the PDF I created in InDesign on a printer's website and view the proof. For some reason, when I view the proof, there are white lines that seem to be some how associated with some of my text. Various places throughout my document, I can see thin white lines above, below, and beside certain text. I've tried changing the version of the PDF to an older version. Didn't work. I tried saving it as a JPEG, instead of a PDF... That looks even worse(blurry border around text... trust me... even worse). I have no idea what's going on. I tried changing the Transparency Flattener Preset... No difference. Please help. Very frustrated and need to have this brochure ordered like... yesterday. I appreciate any input I can get. Thanks for yoru help.

    I tried to export it to Acrobat 5, but the issue still exists. The white lines do not form a perfect box. They are lines that appear randomly throughout my brochure. Some of them horizonal, some vertical. Some lines are are the length of words, some are the size of single characters. I'm not sure if this is associated with the stitching issue described above, but just wanted to be specific.
    How do you turn off the smooth line art and smooth images option in Acrobat? I didn't find that option in the menu.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Illustrator CS6 to CS4: White lines along edges of semi-transparent gradient meshes

    Hi,
    I recently invested in CS6 Production Premium and I've just tested legacy support by saving an Illustrator CS6 image in CS4 format.
    The image contains a number of semi-transparent gradient meshes used for highlights.
    Having loaded the saved CS4 .ai file in CS6, white lines appear along my semi-transparent gradient meshes (see the attached screenshot).
    What's happening is that the anchor points with 0% opacity in CS6 suddenly have 100% opacity when I load the saved CS4 files in CS6.
    Is this a known error?
    If so, how/where do I report it?
    Here are the relevant CS6 and CS4 files:
    http://snk.to/f-chcig8s9
    P.S. There are no white lines when I save the image in CS5 format and load it in CS6.

    The image contains a number of semi-transparent gradient meshes used for highlights.
    CS4 doesn't support semi-transparent gradient meshes. So they are simulated by using opacity masks. The masks are generated atuomatically from the meshes in the file, so they have the exact same size, which causes the fringes. If you would create this manually, you would make the opacity mask slightly larger in order to avoid fringes.

  • WHITE LINES APPEARING ON PHOTOSHOP Cs6 LAYERS THAT PREVIOUSLY WERE NOT IN THE SAVE FILE -

    I Keep having this reoccuring problem today - white lines keep appearing attatched to certain & all layers in photoshop files that I have, the only solution that seems to get rid of them is to put a mask on the layer and mask the line away, these are appearing on text, smart objects & rastersized layers. They were not there when I previously saved the file and they should not be there now, I then went to open another file I had and white lines started to appear on the files. This is really frustrating because some of the website documents have alot of layers. I have attatched an example below, they only appear to be 1 pixel and can range up to 2500pixels wide and they overlap making the line look thicker sometimes. Any advise would be great, Thanks.

    Trevor,
    I had been thinking about a display issue too, but upon re-reading the post, it sounded like the artifact was consistant on each Image (different place for each, but then always the same place for THAT Image). I was about to inquire about the video driver, but the location aspect prompted me to forget that possibility - still, I could well be wrong, and you could be correct.
    We'll just to wait a bit, and see.
    In a worst-case, the OP could send me a PM (Personal Message), and I can provide my POP address, to have them attach an offending PSD to an e-mail. I would be glad to test it on my systems, to see if something jumps out. However, as Csuebelle asked, having the file posted, for many to explore it, would be better than just one of us trying to track down the culprit.
    I have encountered something similar, when I moved Layer Masks around in DVD Menus, and one was just a tad too small, revealing pixels that I intended to mask out - usually a DUH! moment for me, but easy to fix. Not sure if this is what we have, or something else? Often, what appears to be the same issue, looks like the same issue, is actually something totally different.

  • InDesign Showing white line on bottom and right sides

    I made sure that my design overlapped for bleed however when exporting to a PDF file it's showing a white line on the bottom and right of the design. I double check to make sure there is overlap and it's still showing up. I have tried searching to see if anyone else has had this issue but no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Never mind... just got an email from InDesignSecrets that answered my problem. Rookie mistake. It was the fact I did not select the use document bleed settings on export.
    Thanks for the help!

  • CS6 white line appearing to left of graphic

    Hello,
    I have two issues with this website. 
    1) To the left of the header graphic a white line appears, I can't account for it.  I've tried several things to compensate for it.  Nothing works. 
    2) At the top left there is an undocked portion of the background, I can't account for this either.  Again, I have reviewed line by line and I have tried several fixes.  Nothing even touches it.  (In the event this information is useful, when in the developer side, I click on that line and get a flashing text type cursor. )
    I have researched youtube and various forums also, looking for a fix or answer.  I am thinking this might be a bug.  Anyone have an answer? a fix?
    I threw some pages up (still building the pages) so you can see what I am writing about.

    Its part of your image - you have a thin white line running all the way around it:

    That's also due to the thin  white line running all the way around that image:

  • Help!  White line outlining image only in CMYK when placed from Photoshop into Illustrator/InDesign

    I have a CMYK file, outlined product, that looks perfect in Photoshop.  When I place the image into Illustrator, it shows up with a thin white line around parts of the product (fyi - it shows up on a print as well). I have tried to place an RGB file and it does not have the white line around the product.    I assume it has something to do with it being CMYK, but I'm at a loss on how to fix this.  I'm desperate for any help. 

    Okay, please refer this image and change the option within Ai General preferences. Uncheck the option Anti-Aliased artwork.
