Why do my images go blurry when I export from InDesign to interactive PDF?

I am trying to export an InDesign file to an interactive PDF, but my images are going blurry.
Everything else is fine.
Can anyone help?

In the export dialog options, please reset the jpeg quality and resolutions to higher levels, and see the output results have improved. But be prepared to accept heavy pdf file size.

  • Why am I loosing images when i export from InDesign to a pdf?

    ON every page of my in design file i have a picture and a logo, when i export this file, I loose the logo on every page but still have all the photos. Can anyone help?

    With no text insertion active you can hit the W key to toggle Preview mode, or use the button on the bottom of the toolbox.
    it is a white logo on a black back ground
    That's what I suspected. This is a fairly common problem with Illustrator art that started out as Black and was converted to White, and needs to be fixed in Illustrator. Most likely the Black was set to overprint and that carried through to the white on conversion. ID is smart enough to remove the overprint attribute when you do this, but Illy is not.
    Right-click on the logo, then choose Edit Original... Does it open in Illustrator? (IF not, waht format is it?) If it does, select anything white and open the Attributes panel, uncheck the Overprint boxes.
    White, or [Paper] in ID, is not really a color, but is the absence of color. The way it works is that it knocks out any color behind it, exposing the paper. Overprint means that the current color will print on top of the exisiting color without removing it, and so you are telling ID to put nothing on top of the color, so that's what you see.

  • Why does the image go blurry when I export my file to jpeg from Illustrator CS6?

    Hi,
    I have created an image on illusrator CS6 and am ready to save it.
    I have saved it as a pdf format and the image stays as a sharp vector image and not blurry at all.
    But I also want to keep the image as a jpeg. So when I go to export the image from illustrator CS6 as a jpeg, the end result comes out blurry and not sharp anymore, but more jagged on the edges of the image.
    Is there anything I can do to keep my file as a jpeg with it staying as a sharp crisp image?

    The image above is a screenshot of the ai.file
    Above - second image is the screenshot of my export settings
    the 3rd image above is a close up zoomed in part of the image - the edges are jagged and blurry

  • Missing € character when exporting from Indesign (CS4) to PDF

    I think the subject line says it all. I'm not an expert user, but have not previously had
    this problem. I get a new iMac with CS4 reinstalled
    and now 'lose' the Euro character when I export my Indesign files to
    PDF - does anyone have any advice please? Thanks.

    Even so - I don't know why - but the problem is with some fonts that the Euro doesn't show.
    I always use the Euro font for the Euro symbol and never have an issue.
    Even if you do manage to get the Helvetica Euro to show up in the PDF there is a chance it can drop out at the RIP stage and not appear in print - I've seen it happen far too many times.
    Euro font is your friend.

  • My images look blurry when I export or publish my site from Muse. Why and how do I fix it?

    My images look blurry, jagged, pixelated and low quality when I publish or export my site from Muse. Is there any way to avoid or fix this problem?

    The primary cause of blurring images is the less than Photoshop-quality image downsampling algorithm currently used in Muse (that was compounded in early betas due to a bug in the JPEG compression library we were using at that time). Due to work we've done for Beta 7 to improve image encoding performance we now have the infrastructure in place to enable us to take a much better image resampler/resizer (after Beta 7), so this source of blurring will be addressed.
    The other source of blurring is unique to opaque images containing line art or otherwise containing hard edges and large areas of solid color. When an image is opaque Muse will encode it as JPEG (if it's altered in Muse is a way that requires re-encoding). For line art this will introduce JPEG compression artifacts that can be noticeable depending on your eye and the specific image involved.
    There are (at least) to ways to avoid these JPEG compression artifacts:
    Resize your image before placing and avoid applying any effects (rounded corners, drop shadow, etc.) or doing any cropping or resizing in Muse. If the image is unaltered your original JPEG, PNG or GIF will be passed through unaltered.*
    Put at least one pixel of transparency in your original image. (It could be a single 99% opaque pixel.) This will force Muse to encode as PNG. PNG compression is lossless and thus doesn't introduce any compression artifacts. However, an average PNG can be 5 times the size of a JPEG for the same image, so there is an impact to webpage download performance.
    *For PSD files Muse has to encode the original PSD data into some web-friendly image format. If an image is resized in Photoshop and placed Muse won't resize/resample the image data, but it will encode it as JPEG or PNG depending on whether it contains transparency.

  • Why do my images look blurry when opened in photoshop?

    Hi! i was just wondering if i could get some help with a problem i've been getting since yesterday.
    Before yesterday morning, my photoshop was working just fine but then yesterday morning when i opened this image.
    It would look like this
    instead of it looking like the first image above, the thing though is when i export the image from photoshop as a png, jpeg or any other it looks normal again like this.
    This is the first time this has ever happened so i'm not really sure about what to do.
    I'm using photoshop cs6 and i've also uninstall and reinstall photoshop about 2 times now but it doesn't fix it
    so if anyone can help me that would be great.
    Thanks.

    Yes.  They don't make any sense to me either.  Are we supposed to be looking at a blank dark gray rectangle, or has the upload process failed the OP ?

  • Why does left side text in my fillable PDF disappear when I export from ID6?

    Hi there! Looking for urgent feedback on fillable forms.
    I created a form using InDesign 6 - mainly text fields using the interactive: convert to text field function. I used these settings: Event: Release on Tap; Printable, Required, Scrollable; Font size: auto.
    When I export the form using "Interactive PDF", what happens is that text entered to a fillable line is cut off on at the beginning of the line. Only half of the first character will appear.
    I tried adjusting the width of the interactive text box, looking at paragraph alignment settings, and field settings in Acrobat X and can't figure out how to change text alignment within a field.
    Seems simple enough, but haven't found a forum or tutorial that speaks to this. Help!
    Many thanks,
    Deanna

    Why bother using it?
    Pages '09 works! A difficult concept for most I know.

  • Why does my RAW image look grainy when I export it in to Photoshop CC from Lightroom for editing?

    Why does my RAW image look grainy when I export it in to Photoshop CC from Lightroom for editing?
    Checked LR's setting for Ps export and they haven't changed since it was OK a few days ago? It is OK if you zoom in but in 'fit page' it looks terrible!

    I have exactly the same problem and it has got worse today as the photos also now open in smaller windows for some reason

  • Why does the clone stamp work when I go from a darker colour to a lighter colour but not the other way around. How can I lighten up a dark area? Lasso tool takes from the wrong area too.

    Why do you use the Blend Modes Lighter and Darker at all in this case and not simply Normal?
    And what kept you from posting a screenshot?
    I borrowed the image below for an HDR workshop I ran at the 2010 PSNZ National Convention, to demonstrate a method of removing halos.  You'll remember that halos were a serious problem with early HDR, and while the halos in this image were caused by over sharpening, they are perfect for demonstrating this technique.
    It relies on the fact that halos so often tend to put a lighter tone between the two areas where sharpening is being applied. Whether that is the sky abutting a dark line of hills, or the rock and little tower as in this image.  I've uploaded it at the size it was supplied to me at (about 2700 pixels wide).  So
    Click to open the full image, right click and copy, and paste into Photoshop.
    Select the clone tool, and set its blend mode to Darken.
    Try to sample on a line horizontal to where you want to clone, to give the best tonal match, and start cloning.
    Because the sky is darker than the halo, it overwrites it. But the rock is darker than the sky, so it has no affect.
    It works even better if you clone on a new layer also set to Darken.  No masking, just Photoshop blend mode magic.
    You can also fix the little tower. Use a great big brush — just remember to sample horizontal to match the horizon.
    Back then I was using the same trick with CAs after forgetting to fix them in ACR, and having done too much work to start again after spotting the problem.

  • Borders in Pages for Mac look blurry when I export to pdf

    Borders in Pages for Mac look blurry when I export to pdf. How can I make a pdf or JPEG retain the sharp edges and smooth shadows when I export?

    The ColorSync filters control the conversion between color spaces of files on the Mac and are used when you export or print to pdf.
    The ColorSync Utility is inside the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder.
    see Alternate ColorSync PDF filters.

  • Embedding font problems (when exporting from InDesign to PDF)

    A message alert is shown, when opening a pdf - after exporting from InDesign: Cannont exctract the embedded Font Frutiger.
    We have uninstalled the frutiger font and installed an open type. But the font is not embedded anyhow..?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks very much.

    I don't know if you need help scripting this, but...........
    If you can not re-create the PDF from InDesign using the OTF,
    In Acrobat, highlight the text with the acrobat touch-up text tool, right click and go to properties. You should be able to assign the OTF font running on you system, and select the embed option.
    If not, this is why PitStop is an indespensable (sp?) tool.
    Best of luck

  • Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?

    Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?
    When I export a PDF from InDesign CS6 with specific margins, Acrobat does not recognize the Art box. (I have PitStop Pro 11 for page box view)

    Thanks Steve,
    We are exporting PDF's as you indicate. I see the same thing. The boxes are all the size of the original InDesign document. The PDF art box should be predicated by the margins in InDesign. When we had CS3, this worked great. Now, it seems that there is a disconnect between the two Adobe products honoring the page box size. I have contacted the Adobe techs via chat, and they had no clue what I was referring to. I find it mystifying that Acrobat can not interpret the art box set in InDesign as margins.

  • When I export an indesign document the graphics are missing from the eps file.

    When I export an indesign document the graphics are missing from the eps file.

    The why it isn't working can be a number of reasons. While I never have exported an EPS out of ID before, I just tried it and it worked fine.
    What "graphics" are missing? I used bitmaps, native drawn ID vector, lines and a placed EPS file. Came into AI as an opened EPS fine.
    Links up to date? For items not hitting the EPS, are they on a layer set to non-printing?
    In the export dialog,General tab, PostScript Level 3? Data format set to ASCII? On the Advanced tab, Send Data set to All? OPI off?

  • Transferred CS4 to new MacBook Pro, now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. Help!

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my CS4 from my older MacBook Pro to my new computer, and although it seemed to be working fine now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. These fonts are installed on my new computer, can be found in InDesign CS4, and work fine within the program but will not appear in PDFs. The letters turn into rectangles. Does anyone know why, and how to fix that?
    Help/input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
    Kristen.

    you should properly install adobe products, not move, migrate or otherwise transfer them.
