ICC Profile error

Hi,

I keep getting this error from inDesign - Version 4 ICC Profiles were converted to version 2 ICC Profiles during PDF Export. Just wondering will this effect my PDF?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Please try.

Standart profile PDF/X-4:2010    -  Compatibility minimum It must be PDF 1.4.

I changed "Compatibility" from "Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)" to "Acrobat 8/9 (PDF 1.7)" and the warning went away for me. You do this by going to File -> Export first, change the compatibility and then choose that Adobe PDF Present when you Package.

So far as I understand it the alert just means what it says. Most apps use the old ICC V2 profiles. Some apps make the new iCC V4 profiles. To keep things working, if you use a new V4 profile it has to be converted, and you get this WARNING (it's not an error). Possibly some colour accuracy is lost. Chances are the V4 profile came with a graphic you used.

Possibly some colour accuracy is lost

I'm not sure you have to worry about that, at least when you are exporting to a CMYK destination where the profile is version 4.

I've done some number checking comparing conversions done from RGB to GRACol 2013 (which is version 4) inside of Photoshop vs. on export from InDesign and haven't found any differences in the output values. If you were worried about it, you could make all CMYK conversions in Photoshop before placing and export to a PDF/X preset. In that case there would be no conversions during the export, but you would still get the alert because the profile is included as an Output Intent.

You prompted me to look up what is new in ICC V4.  There is talk of some colour conversions being “more consistent”, “higher quality” and “more accurate” at least potentially due to extra info in the profile. Pretty vague of course, and it will depend completely on the colour engine (CMM). High level intro on Why use ICC v4 profiles?

I'm getting this error and it is muting all my beautiful poppy reds into a flat rusty brown-red on export. Something is off here. Nobody has describe what's going on, just saying it's a non-issue. Why is it happening and how to fix it would be a correct answer IMO

This thread is 5 years old, so you might want to start a new question. Or at least show a screen capture showing the error message and the color shifts. Also, tell us what version of ID you are using, along with the color modes and assigned profiles of the affected page items.

PDF left, InDesign right.. CC 2018, never messed with the profiles, but I swapped all my CMYKs to RGBs and tried an RGB blend space. I've only ever used the "High Quality Print" preset and for the printer will add marks and bleeds, so this is very strange to me. I tried as mentioned above with changing the "Standard" drop down to PDF X/4:2010, but still get the same alert and muted colours.

I too, received this alert and it affected the print outcome.

When I printed the PDF, the blue background printed over head shot photos but displays normal in PDF.

Sounds more like an overprint or spot color issue when printing to a composite color printer. Is the blue background a spot color?

I just got this and it does put a line through the photo image on out put. I took a picture using my iPhone, Placed that straight into Illustrator added some graphics than when saving to a high-quality print I got the error. Indeed there a line over the image. If I used the suggestion above but the same thing with no error. must be an issue with iPhone photos??

A profile wouldn't do that, but setting the compatibility to Acrobat 4 might because you are flattening transparency. Also it might be the PDF reader. Are you viewing the PDF in Acrobat?

I am getting this error too. No one here has explained how to fix it, just that it isnt dangerous to a pdf. How do I fix the issue?

No one here has explained how to fix it,

Are you exporting to PDF/X-1a? Try PDF/X-4 and if you need an all CMYK PDF convert to the destination. Does this work for you?

Just got my first such error message. Document was Illustrator, not InDesign, but betting the issue is similar in both.

I only had 2 photos in file, so was easy to test them to alleviate the error code. Changed the images from RGB to CMYK, and it went away.

But honestly, this is something that just popped up, after working in this program for years. So I don't understand why it suddenly reared its head on this little file. Would love to know more.


It's clearly not an error message so why do people keep acting as if it is?

This worked for me right away. I didn't need to try anything else.

Generally, this conversion should not make any difference.

Very few existing ICC color profiles are anything but version 2 in format. What particular profile(s) were you using?

I removed the attached colour profiles from my Photoshop files when saving and ran the export again and there were no errors.

No profiles were attached to your last posting. (These forums only allow sysops to do attachments!)

You certainly don't want to lose the profiles' information. The conversion to version 2 is not a problem. But not having a profile at all could be a big problem!
