Why does effects change the document color? Is their a solution?

When I create a PMS background color to a page and then add an effect, like dropshadow to an object like a square, the background changes to a dark, muddier color. How can I resolve this?

What's happening is that by applying transparency, you're invoking the CMYK Transparency Blend Space (found under the Edit menu). That will convert objects on the page to CMYK at printing time. This will change bright PMS colors to duller CMYK colors.
I'd suggest changing your background color to CMYK, or ditching the transparency effect. Or else apply transparency on all your pages so they'll look the same.
Also, you need to be aware that in order to print transparency and spot colors together at print time you printer has to turn on overprinting to render them correctly. Otherwise you'll see a white box behind your drop shadow effect:

  • Hi, I'm working on a document in PAges 09. Any idea on how to change the document color? I want it black instead of white.

    Hi, I'm working on a document in PAges 09. Any idea on how to change the document color? I want it black instead of white.

    Nichelle,
    You must add your own background object, and then make it Black.
    Insert > Shape > Rectangle
    In the Wrap Inspector, set to Floating.
    In the Graphic Inspector, set Stroke to None and set Fill to Black.
    Grab the corners of the document and stretch the document to cover the entire page.
    Back in the Wrap Inspector select "In Background".
    Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.

  • Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

    Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

    Did anyone find a good way to sort the shared albums better, so that the ones you share with can better find their way around.
    You can arrange them manually in an album, select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date to menu option and check the box to add a set interval between photos. That will let the photos be sorted by date and be in the order you want:

  • How to change the document color mode(RGB to CMYK)?

    Kindly advice me how to change the document color mode(RGB to CMYK) via scripting in "illustrator cs3".
    Thanks.

    Somebody wrote and posted this a couple of years ago.
    // Duplicate the selection from the active document into a new document.
    // To invoke the JavaScript debugger, remove comment delimiters
    //$.level = 1; debugger;
    var newItem;
    var docSelected = app.activeDocument.selection;
    if ( docSelected.length > 0 ) {
    // Create a new document and move the selected items to it.
    var newDoc = app.documents.add();
    if ( docSelected.length > 0 ) {
    for ( i = 0; i < docSelected.length; i++ ) {
    docSelected[i].selected = false;
    newItem = docSelected[i].duplicate( newDoc,
    ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND );
    else {
    docSelected.selected = false;
    newItem = docSelected.parent.duplicate( newDoc,
    ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND );
    else {
    alert( "Please select one or more art objects" );
    It should give some ideas about how to proceed.

  • Why does not return the correct color?

    I have a resources dictionary with a color:
    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="MyColorWhenSelected" Color="{Binding Source={x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrush}}"/>
    I have added this resources to App.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.
    Later, in my converter to set the background in a listview, I return:
    return App.Current.Resources["MyColorWhenSelected"]
    But the item has a white color, is not blue like the defult selected color.
    However, if I return:
    return System.Windows.SystemColors.HighlightBrush
    Then the color is the expected one.
    I have tried another color from my dictionary, por example:
    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="TestColor" Color="White" />
    If I return
    return App.Current.Resources["MyColorWhenSelected"]
    this works as expected.
    I guess that the problem is because in this second case all is SolidColorBrush type, while in the first case one is SolidColorBrush and the other is SystemColors.
    My idea is to use the resource dictionary because if in the future I decide to change the highlight color, change it in this resource, and not to change in all the converters in which I use this color.
    Thank so much.

    There is an error in your binding. You should bind to the Color property of the HighlightBrush:
    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="MyColorWhenSelected" Color="{Binding Path=Color, Source={x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrush}}"/>

  • Why does Indesign change the print driver?

    When I go into the print dialog and click on "setup" to go to the Minolta Bizhub C450 print driver, I find that the items that I have changed (like collate, double sided, grayscale, the list goes on) have been changed back to the original setting. When I print from Acrobat, I can change the print setting and they stay. Example: If I want to print a file thats two sided, I hit <control P>, <settings> and enter the printer driver. I tell it that I want to two sided and I want "Right Binding". Exit the printer driver, go back to Indesign print screen and hit print. The file has printed two sided but the binding position has defaulted back to auto, not the "Right Binding" that I had asked for.
    I have the new version 6.0.4 but it seems like my problems have started after this new version. Does anybody else have this problem?

  • Hi. I use ExportPDF. Does Adobe support pdf documents written in Arabic Language? Does it change the documents in arabic language into microsoft word??

    I have PDF documents written in Arabic. I would like to convert it into Microsoft Word. Unfortunately I am unable to do this. Please help me in my quiery. Does Adobe PDF converter support Arabic font??

    Hi Yousif04,
    If your document has fonts attached you can convert to Microsoft word that is quite possible. But if the fonts were used to create the file arent present in the system the Microsoft word may not be able to retain the layout of the document.
    There shouldn't be any problem for ExportPdf service to convert your document.
    To check fonts used for that PDF. Open PDF either in Reader or In Acrobat. Click on File go to Properties. Document Property windows will appear there is Fonts Tab. You will the fonts embedded for the document.

  • Why does Firefox change the filenames of pdfs when it opens them? They go from normal names to 8-digit random letter/number sequences

    When I click to open a PDF from Firefox it behaves very strangely. Instead of opening the PDF with its original filename (say for example: Report_on_the_weather.pdf) it changes the file name on opening. They open up with random 8-digit filenames (for example 5918Bd01.pdf). It does this for all PDF files. I would like to stop this behabviour. Any ideas?
    My configuration:
    Firefox 4
    Windows XP
    Adobe Acrobat 8.1 Standard (not the Reader, the full standard application)

    cor-el, thanks for responding. As it turns out the machine was compromised, probably due to the Java upgade from 6.x to the supposedly current 7.x version. I suspect one of the 'always open' tabs in my profile was aimed at a site that had been compromised to exploit the java vulnerability that has not apparently been fixed yet.
    After removing Java, a current Panda AV scan detected three bad jar files. Further testing with MSCONFIG found a file in startup that did not belong, turns out to be a new exploit with very little coverage on virustotal (neither Panda nor McAfee detected it as malware) but as soon as it was taken out of the startup, Firefox started working perfectly.
    Firefox was the parakeet in the cave, tipping over to let me know something was wrong.
    The machine is in quarantine until a much more complete analysis is done. We may still rebuild it to be certain.
    I'm giving you a 'solved' on this because the windows safe mode boot pointed the way to determining the problem.

  • Why does Mail change the sender email address?

    My email address from work has a subdomain: "[email protected]".
    Although my mac Mail account is set up correctly with that email address in the account settings, when I send mail, users receive it showing that the sender (from:) is "[email protected]" - it drops the subdomain and replies to that address get bounced back.
    Does anybody know why this is happening?
    Thanks -

    In the From header of the copy of the message in teh sent box,
    it reads correctly as [email protected]
    Does this provide me a clue?
    Sure it does. What you see in Sent is what Mail sends to the outgoing (SMTP) server. If the message gets changed afterwards, some agent other than Mail (probably the outgoing server) is doing it...
    I know that Gmail’s outgoing server, for example, does this. In order to be able to use Gmail's SMTP server with another address, you must first enable that address in Gmail's Settings > Accounts page, and let Gmail validate it by verifying that you do indeed own it. If you don't do this, even though Mail will correctly send the message from the address you specify, Gmail's SMTP server will silently change it to the address associated with the Gmail account that corresponds to the username specified during SMTP authentication, instead of refusing to send the message as other SMTP servers would do in those circumstances.

  • Why does Mail change the size of attachments

    I have been trying to send som JPEG files to a client.  These files are no more than 450 kb.  They were made in Adobe Illustrator CS5.  The file sizes on my Mac are below 450 kb, yet when I attach them to an e-mail the size plummets to 31.3 kb, making them totally unusable for my client.  I do not see any setting in Mail that would affect the file size of an attachment.  I've attached files before with no problem.  I do not know if this is because it's a JPEG.  Unfortunately JPEG is the file format that they need.  So to get arounfd this I've uploaded them to my server... but it would be so much easier to just be able to attach them to an e-mail.
    Does anyone have a reason why this is happening?
    Thanks in advance!

    Steve626 is onto it. Follw his directions.
    "If so, when you attach the picture file to the email message, look in the lower right of the mail message window and there is a pop up window that lets you specify the size of the pciture file attachment. "
    Load the image into the message then look for the "Image Size" Bottom right hand corner.
    Works for me on my Mail Version 4.6 (1085).

  • Why does iCal change the time of my events when I import my schedule? PLEASE HELP

    When importing my schedule (from my school website, week by week), I had no problem in September.  Now, something must be screwed up in my iCal, because the same documents are importing 3-4 hours behind my current time zone (Atlantic).  Atlantic time is specified in the files, so it isn't that.  This happens in the guest user as well.
    I turned off time zone support (I feel as though this is what made it stop working, as the default was off and I turned it on around the time it stopped working).  It still doesnt work even with time zone turned off and the time on my computer is set manually (instead of automatically detecting it).  Also, I tried to find the preference file in my library>preferences, but it didn't exact... not one single com.apple.ical plist file in there!!! It seems to work fine from my iphone EXCEPT it creates 2 events for each single event (at the same time) which is rather annoying.
    Anyone know/have any ideas on how to fix this??

    Yeah that was it, I realised straight afterwards (I'm just impatient lol). Thanks anyway

  • How do I change the background color of my canvas in FCPX?, How do I change the background color of my canvas in FCPX?

    How do I change the background color of my canvas in FCPX? I changed it from black to checkered but would like to return it to it's orginal settings.
    Thanks

    You can change the background display color in the playback preferences, either black, white, or checkerboard. This does not change the output color. If you want to add a color to the video, you have to place a custom generator underneath your video and change the color in the inspector.

  • Why does iChatAV3 change folders name sent to 2nd computer?

    Why does iChatAV3 change the actual folder's name (removes certain punctuation marks like forward slashes "/ " and replaces them with dashes "-" ) of attachments sent to 2nd computer on the same local network? The way I send a folder to the second computer via ichat on my own local network is to simply drag and drop the folder to the name on the Buddy list and hit send. Then i accept the folder on the target computer.
    I just sent a folder of 24 jpeg images to my second Powermac via ichatav3. (I have four macs on this particular network). The title of the folder was "Photos / 2000" but ichat changes the forward slash to a dash on the folder's name ...... and then drops the two and first zero ...... why? When received on the 2nd computer it reads the adjusted file name as" Photos -00" Not at all what I wanted to name this folder.
    In addition, Photoshop 7 (which is loaded to both systems) has issues seeing and opening the new files and folders until i retitle them per the original folder.
    I suspect the solution is not to use forward slashes at all when naming a folder of jpeg images.
    But why does ichatav3 also drop numbers from the title of these folders or attachments? Might it be that the newly generated file name already exists on the HD of the receiving system and hence will not save it under an identical name or title?
    If this is the case, shouldn't there also be a dialog box or warning that pops up saying i already have such a file on my current HD or at the very least a warning not to use punctuation marks on folders or attachments?
    Helpful suggestions in sending perfectly "intact" folders, files, and attachments via iChatav would be sincerely appreciated.

    HI SDMacuser,
    So far I have not sent a folder in the way you describe.
    I can not offer any assistance on this.
    I will test with EZ Jim when he is next around.
    Anyone else with any suggestions ?

    I udate my os to 10.6.7 and since then my Pages have color problems. The text is not visible (white on white background) it does'nt help to change the text color nor background color. I just download the recent trail version of Iworks and install it. The first document I opened it was ok. When I open the second one the problem appear again and stayed. Pls help

    This behavior was described many times.
    In every occurrence,the operating system was an uncompleted one resulting of the use of Software Update to update the operating system to 10.6.2, 10.6.3, 10.6.4, 10.6.5, 10.6.6, 10.6.7.
    In such cases, the solace was to apply a combo updater.
    As you are using 10.6.7, download and apply the combo 10.6.7 :
