ParticipantAnd try updating your InDesign – it’s an old version your using :)
ParticipantGreat!
The solution is:
Go to this folder on your PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC 2019\Resources\Adobe PDFettingsul
There is the standard joboptions. The files are named “.joboptions”. Just remove the ones you dont want. I did.
ParticipantA Gatefold cover is hard to do.
Make a seperate dok for it, wift 2 pages, front and back. Make a dummy in paper, so that you can see where to place the graphics and so on.
ParticipantSorry, but InDesign IS Adobe?
InDesigns real name is “Adobe InDesign”, and there is also “Adobe PhotoShop”, Adobe Ilustrator”, and many many more …
The reason for pixelation can be many, what is the resolution og your images?
ParticipantFirst og all, why do you make pdf from Photoshop and then place dem i InDesign?
Simply place the psd-files in InDesign.Making pdf’s can bu the cause of your trouble, if the settings arent 100% correct. If you compress in making the pdf, or downsample it, that kan be the problem. Or maybe at colorprofile?
I would simply place the psd-files in InDesign to awoid any possible faults in making the pdf. And you will save a time-consuming step in the progress :)
ParticipantIt could be a corrupt font?
Try as Masood says, to export an idml, and if that does not help, try to replace all fonts in your dokument with one you know works. Then export an idml again, and then it shoud work!
ParticipantWe use the “conbvert to profile” solution every time.
We have 10.000 + images, that are used for web, screen, and also for printing, and we convert to CMYK in the making of the pdf.
All our images are RGB. Hwen we need to use thise images for printing in CMYK, in out many catalogues, we do this:In “Output”, we choose “Colour conversion”, and choose “Convert to destination”, and then choose the correct color prifile – we use “Coated FOGRA39 – and then choose “Include destination Profile”. The pdf wil be in CMYK.
The output is 100% the same, as if you convert the images in PhotoShop. It is the same engine inside InDesign as in PhotoShop.
We have testet it, and the quality is 100%.
To export an PS-file and then destill it, is wery, wery old-school …
ParticipantA 600 pages book, that you recieve from a trird party, and need to work on on a different operating system before printing?
Thats a disaster waiting to happen. So many things can and will go wrong.
All fonts and text will be altered, and so much work wil be needed.In my opinion, send it back, and make them correct it, and ask them to send you a pdf, ready to print.
Participant“I try opening it from the panel and saving and then saving the book with no luck”
How do you work with these documents? Opening them by the book.-panel, and save them? If you use “Save as”, when you work with Book dokuments, they will mess things up. And you don’t “save the book, but the documents?
Wich version og InDesign do you use, and have you recently updated?
ParticipantNo, you should change AWAY from spot color, not to.
When you add a shadow to an object, InDesign flatens those objects, and create a hi-res image inside InDesign. And this image will be CMYK, arrording to your output settings. Så Pantone-colors or RGB, will be converted.
Thy to make your all colors, both in InDesign and the graphics and images, CMYK, and try again :)
ParticipantI guess that the green color is a spot color?
When you create a drop shadow, InDesign will flatten the items affected, and then it will convert spot to process-color. That is what you see in your output.
So convert your colors to process before you make a drop shadow :)ParticipantCollen, its fine, that you use the Export Book-option, but how are your settings??
It is the settings in the export that decide how your outpot will become.If your settings are wrong, this will happen, so if you want us to help you, you have to give us this information :)
ParticipantAnd the problem was … ?
ParticipantHow do you export? Is it pdf?
How are your settings?
Compability
Compression
Output (Colourconversion)
Transparency flattener (if Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)300 dpi images does not export in 300 dpi, unless they are placed in 100%. If they are scaled to 1000% in InDesign, the output will be 30 dpi …
ParticipantCan you create a new InDesign file?
It could be a font problem – try to remove the fonts, and try again.
If a font used in your doks is corrupt, InDesign crashes. -
