Will saving an eps file as a pdf change color output? Digital printing.
Hello, I recently sent in a reprint order of a client's package label file, and the color output is quite different. The first times I ordered these labels, I sent in an eps file. At the printer's request, I submitted the file as a pdf this time. I can't see any differences bewteen the eps and pdf files. They're both RGB, the color values are sttill the same in the file. Should the file type change result in such a different output? Thanks for any advice...
Switching from a RGB color mode to CMYK gives the same colors on Screen? Since the CMYK is a subset of the colors available in RGB this is not usually the case.

Why is Adobe Elements 8 not saving a psd file as a pdf after I started using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro instead of my CS3 Pro? Both Adobe software is up to date and before I switched to Acrobat XI Pro, it worked fine. Help please...
You aren't talking to Adobe here. But still...Is it by any chance asking for a QUALIFYING product? If so, you purchased an UPGRADE and now need to give the serial number of the OLDER product (Acrobat 9 or X) which you must own to be able to use the upgrade. Simples.

when saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. Even some text is hidden. I have flattened the artwork so everything is in one layer. How can I fix this?
Hi John
I have indicated on the attached jpeg where the problem is, basically a line of text is missing at the top and part of the feeding diagram is missing. I created the artwork in different layer and then flattened. All text has been converted to outlines, however the areas being affected have no transparency, I have used solid fills or no fills. I get the same result when I export the file as a jpeg. Hope you can help. -
How do I create a hyperlink that will open a new window, when saving a frame file as a pdf?
I have created a hyper link in Frame using the message URL command in the marker window. I have added the target="_blank" command after the http url within the marker. But when I then save the frame doc as a pdf and open that pdf from within a browser, when I click on the link in that pdf, it goes to the new link but it does not open in a new window or tab.
What am I doing wrong?
I should mention that I am using Frame 10.Best solution that I can find to tell you is to get Schlomo Perets' FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers 5.0. From the FrameUsers mailing list:
Schlomo Perets said:
In FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers 5.0, the "new window" link control was extended to optionally display web-based links in a new browser window (Links/General tab, Cross-file links: Open PDF in a new window, Also apply to web links).
The function can apply to all web links (i.e. no need to modify anything in the FrameMaker file), or to individual links (in which case a special hypertext marker has to be used instead of the standard "message URL http://..." marker).

Layered eps file to layered pdf...
I have an .eps file (CS5) with 48 individual layers. I need to save/export this file to a .pdf file that keeps the individual layers of the original .eps. How do I do this?
Layers in a PDF and layers in an Illustrator file are a completely different thing.
You can save the main layers as PDF-layers into the PDF file, but when you open the PDF again, the layers will be lost.
Only when saving with Illustrator editability you can keep a copy of the original file in the PDF. Then the layers are conserved, but only when you open the file again in Illustrator (same version) -
How do I convert an EPS file to a PDF file?
I am working in Pages ('06 - 2.0.1), and I cannot open an EPS file and convert it to a PDF file. Pages doesn't respond and I have to force quit. The same thing happened when I tried opening the file with Preview. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Output many .eps files to single PDF as full size vector art?
Hi Smart Folks,
I'm working in CS4, Mac OS 10.5. I have a large number of .eps files (about 300, created in Ai) which I'd like to output to a single PDF in their full-size vector format (not thumbnails, which seems to be what Bridge output is set up for). Is there a quicker way to do this than manually placing them all in an InDesign doc and PDFing from there?
Thanks,(not thumbnails, which seems to be what Bridge output is set up for)
That seems indeed the problem, check also both threads earlier in Bridge and Illustrator but I'm afraid not with THE solution. Also drop a feature request for this at Adobe, the more people that would like to see it the greater chance it will be realized.

Hi,
I am desperately trying to convert a large excel file to a PDF.
I have 26 columns and a LOT of rows.
When I go to file in excel and then click 'save as PDF' it saves the columns on separate pieces of paper, which just makes viewing the data impossible.
Is there anyway to get the excel workbook to save to PDF in a readable format? (such as saving it how you would select the print area ... if that makes sense?)
Hope someone can help!
Many Thanks!Office for Mac - Microsoft Answers

Previews not automatically saving in EPS files
Hi
Just got Illustrator CS5 yesterday and immediately noticed that when saving a new EPS file it doesn't automatically include a preview, you have to choose it. In all past versions i have used this defaulted to 8-bit tiff with transparency.
This would be fine if you did it once and it remembered this for next time but it doesn't. So every time I save an EPS file i have to make this choice. I know it isn't much but if I forget to do it I have to go back and resave the file which is annoying.
Is there a way of making this choice permanent?
thanks
DavidHi, thanks for replying.
You aren't the first person to say this, AI files use the whole artboard as the image size so its like replacing one issue with another.
Its a completely random problem, it happens when creating a whole new EPS file and when saving out a new version of an existing EPS that already has the 8 bit tiff preview attached. Whats worse is, it doesn't always happen, I can't say that the next time I save a file so I can't replicate the problem myself.
its definitely NOT a problem with my system either, the same thing happens with my 2 colleagues macs in here.
As much as I'd like to I don't want to switch to indesign, I've tried a few times and it just doesn't sit right with me, it lets you get away with things that in 15 years I would never do because it would cause issues at the print stage, it makes me uncomfortable when I get files in from other agencies and they're just a mess with all random formats just forced into a document, its lazy.
Anyway, back to topic Adobe's TS reply is frankly laughable and unacceptable, I was hoping I'd get some support form them considering how much we pay for the software in the first place.
thanks again

I just purchased photos from shutterstock and they said it will download as a .eps file.They said I would need vector editor such as adobe illustrator to convert the image to a jpeg. Could anyone advise me on how to do this? This is all very foreign to me.
The Swanky LadyFile>Open to open your eps file
File>Export to export your image as a jpg.
In the export dialog box just below where you type in the filename is a file type, that is where you choose jpg.
What ever you do, do not delete the eps file. Should you ever need to access the original you will have have.
I recommend that instead of jpg you choose psd, tiff, or png and use jpg only for sharing. Jpg is a lossy format meaning each time you edit the file and save it, the quality of that file degrades. The formats I recommend are lossless formats, you can edit them all you want no data is being discarded unless you choose to do so. -
Export to PDF changes colors to a darker shade
I have an annoying problem with both Keynote and Pages: when exporting to PDF, the colors become darker than they appear on screen and on the printer.
I've tried various things to improve the situation, but to no avail:
1. tried using different color profiles for the colors;
2. tried printing to PDF (instead of exporting).
The problem seems to arise from the fact that I have a bitmap image on the page. Before I put the bitmap image on, the export is perfectly fine. Then when I add the bitmap and export again, the colors are wrong.
I've uploaded the Pages files and the PDF exports here:

Suggestions are highly anticipated!
MacBook Pro (C2D 2.16GHz, 15-inch, 2GB) Mac OS X (10.4.8)I'm not at my Mac right now, so I cannot check, but I'm surprised you get the rectangle around the shadow. I thought that was fixed. Someone else may have the shadow story clearer.
Bug reports are made at http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/ , but it may be enough if you just enter the observation on the Pages feedback page at http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html .
You also have the option to play with your own color profiles in ColorSync Utility. It is not straightforward, but it is interesting to see what flexibility MacOS X gives us.
CS2 is Adobe Creative Suite. It includes Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop and so on. It is much better at following industry standards than Pages, but it is not as easy to use. And it costs more than ten times as much.

Is there a way to save an AI file and lock it where you can not manipulate the art after it is saved in a PDF format. We are a printing company and when we create our art work and proof it to the customer, we do not want them to have the capabilities to use this art with someone else. We would like to stay with proofing in a PDF format if possible.
Anyone have any suggestions?ok, thanks for the useless comment, I was just wondering if there was a way to do this. First off, you don't know anything about our business and I would probably bet that we are much larger and have many more million dollar corporate accounts than you do, so obviously we are doing something right. Mostly the people that are willing do this are the small fly by night customers who just want you to set their art and have some local small sign shop print it for them because we have minimum orders in place. These are the people that I want to stop from doing this, Most of our customers are large enough, that they have their own art departments and they set and send their own art, so I'm not concerned with them. I am concerned with the small customers that are trying to use us for setting art and then never pay their bill and never order from you.
I would guarantee you that our customer service, lead times, and quality will equal any print shop in the nation. Some of our customers only let us bid their "hot" jobs and do not send them to anyone else because we can get the jobs out so quickly.
So thank you for your pointless answer. -
Has anyone else encountered this? I want to save a 2 colour logo (CMYK) as a print ready PDF but when it opens in Adobe Acrobat the black is missing or the green is missing. I can see all the colours there in preview and if I open the PDF file in Photoshop, all the colours as as they should be!!!
No.. sorry.. it does not seem possible effect .. if you can write you must be able to read..
Are you using the TC with user profiles?
What security are you using for disk access?
What happens if you do turn on full guest access to read and write.. ?
When the Mac that can save but cannot read does drop the file onto the TC,, can the other Mac's see that file? In other words is the file really there.. has it copied correctly. I still think if it has copied and you cannot read it back there is some permissions issues.
Try creating a new user on the Mac that has issues.. and see if the new user and read and write correctly. Make sure the new user has at least equal rights as the users on the Mac's that can read and write without issues.
Your intial question suggested this problem was spread over more than computer.. your second reply has reduced the issue to just one computer.. logically the issue is not the TC.. it is that computer. Ironically I have found logic for computer troubleshooting falls well behind voodoo. -
Will saving a sequence file with modified variables work on all licensing levels of TestStand?
I am thinking of enabling editing of test limits for a few steps via an operator interface mechanism of some sort (popup dialog box, etc.).
If I make an API call to save the sequence file with the modified limits (as opposed to using the property export/import mechanism), will the call succeed if the end-customer has only a deployment license (no debug or dev)?
For that matter, if I *were* to use the property export mechanism via an API call from the operator interface, would that call succeed regardless of the licensing level on the target machine?
Thanks in advance...The deployment license will not allow you to save sequence files using the API. It will generate an error.

PDF changes color in PowerPoint
Hi all,
I created an image (used color transparency for some parts) in Illustrator CC 2014. I saved the image as a pdf. and then inserted it in my PowerPoint presentation. Once I save the powerpoint and reopen it, pdf images that I inserted have a black background. Please, let me know how to deal with this issue. Thank you in advance!!!
KatyaHi katya2385,
Are you still facing this issue?
As you said once you convert the pdf to image and then import that image to PowerPoint presentation the color of the image changes next time you open.
You may try to check the file which you have converted to image without looking that in powerpoint check that file individually.

Ajlan Huda.
