Good to know, thank you. I will try TIFF and PSD next time ... View more

Yes, this is more or less what I do, by applying Acrobat 4 standard (it flattens transparency and pictures in the similar process as I would flatten them manually). This one works, but generates some lines, and I have seen the case when there were some areas missing on print. But it works just ...ok in 99% cases 😄   I will check the approach with exporting pictures directly to Tiff or PSD, as existing PNG converted to Tiff haven't changed anything. ... View more

That's correct. Phis PDF is digital product I'm preparing and I have zero control over end-user habits. They are non-knowledgeble about printing, and I can't make them use Acrobat. I know they sometimes use only mobile device for printing. I need to ensure this file is failsafe for this exact reason.   ... View more

Musze jeszcze podziałać nad tym, nie wyszła mi konwersja do Tiff, ciągle zapisują się PNG. ALe sprawdzę jutro na pojedynczym pliku Tiff czy robi różnicę 🙂 ... View more

So after extensive testing to check many of your tips, i found out, that this problem occurs only on one computer on Google Chrome. Printing from Firefox or both browsers on different MacBook works just fine. I migrated files as a package between these two MacBooks back and forth and no discoveries here.   Since my goal is to make sure the file will print properly on all devices, I have to continue troubleshooting. Unfrotunately simple conversion from png go png didn't help, and I didn't manage to test conversion to Tiff files yet, but will continue trying tomorrow. Thank you for your help so far! ...

Ok, sprawdziłem zmianę standardu: Zmiana na x4 nie wchodzi w grę bo wymusza CMYK na wyjściu Natomiast sama zmiana na Acrobat 7 nie rozwiązała problemu. teraz będę próbował konwersji formatu.   Podpowiedz tylko, jaką funkcję PS masz na myśli? Robiłem różne automatyzacje ale lata temu i nie chcę w jakiś nieoptymalny proces się zapuścić 😄 ... View more

Tested it - switching to Acrobat 7 didn't fix the problem. 🙈 ... View more

Powiem Ci, że mam stracha przed tym - już odkręcałem cały proces i wtopiłem dziesiątki godzin w szukanie problemów wynikłych miedzy innymi z chaotycznych konwersji profili kolorystycznych. A właśnie widzę, że jakieś aspekty moga wyjśc po czasie 😄 Ale zrobie próbę konwersji na Tiff, przetestować nie zaszkodzi. ... View more

Yes, I'm aware of that, which is why I haven't even considered PSD, since even TIFF seemed to be oferkill. ... View more

Hej, dzięki za podpowiedź! To z której strony radziłbyś to ruszyć? Wybrać PDF/X-4 czy konwertować grafiki?   Zaznaczam, że druk tego pliku będzie odbywał się na domowych drukarkach RGB - rozmaitych urządzeniach, będzie też drukowany z urządzeń moblnych, desktopóów, przeglądarek, aplikacji, klientów poczty. Cel jest taki żeby drukował się wszędzie poprawnie bo będą go używały osoby bez wiedzy o druku. ... View more

Hi Mike, thanks for your reply! These illustrations are created in the drawing application “Procreate” and never go through Photoshop. It never occurred to me to use PSD. I was considering TIFF, but it seemed like Overkill at the time, given the weight of the assets and my needs.   The goal of these PDFs is to be as versatile and easy to print as possible. People will print them from their phone, computer, browser, email client, etc. Rarely will anyone be more knowledgeable about printing. They will always be RGB desktop printers. That's why I decided to choose compatibility with an older standard (Acrobat 5 or 4).   I've solved color conversion problems before, but never heard that PNG might not be a good choice. This is an ongoing learning journey for me 🙂   I am wondering what to do now. I already have pretty much the whole setup prepared. I can't export and set all the assets from the ground up, it will probably take a few days. I can: - Experiment with other Acrobat standards, e.g. Acrobat 7, as someone recommended in another comment, and if nothing works, I will eventually stay with Acrobat 4, which works for almost every user, just leaves those lanes (flattening artifacts) - Convert in Photoshop all those PNGs to TIFF by running them through Photoshop automatically, and they should be able to be relinked in one go.   What would you advise? ...

Ok, that's clear now - Illustrations are being created in application called Procreate. Then I export them for InDesign. Almost all of these have transparent background so I needed format handling transparency. PNG seem to me as the most suitable considering the purpose and populatiry. TIFF seem to be overkill, as every asset would be heavier.   I already fixed munch issues with color conversions and management, but never heard that PNGs are not a good fit for this purpose. One other thing. How are they being printed? By @BobLevine They are supposed to be as universal and easy to print propoerly as possible. People will be willing to print these from mobile devices, desktop, browsers, email clients etc. Always on desktop printers (RGB) That's why I decided to follow some older standard (Acrobat 5)   ... View more

Yes, sorry, "Acrobat 5". I wIll check later today, when will have an access to the printer. My goal was to create PDF's to be maximally compatible with home devices and printers. THat's why I figured out using older compatybility will be the best, but perhaps I'm wrong, and Acrobat 7 can have better/wider compatybility?   Is there somethoing that I should know about , like this "Not using PNG with transparency" in Indesign? 😄 ... View more

OMG - I'm terified - I started over the whole process, including exporting all the images again in sRGB, and found no sign of such a tip/recommendation/requirement. Is this some general rule, or some issue with InDesign? Won't PNG's work at all? Every kind of Tiff should work correctly? ... View more

No error messages. Just printed it with black backgrounds. What are you using PNGs? By @BobLevine  Sorry, can't understand this one 😬 ... View more

Yes, but for the moment I need to divide this one file info sub-products I believe the easiest way will be do create copies and delete obsolete pages in each file. I bet coping pages to new documents won't work as I use parent pages etc. ... View more

Thanks for your answer @James Gifford—NitroPress ! Let's define my ebook, as printable pdf in rgb. No fancy features here - just sections to automatically set headers thanks to section markers (I use section marker as a header contents on parent pages) and automatic page numbers. I then export it to PDF. From your message I assume that I would have only one way to have ease to maintain the full file as a whole and have easy way to import one unit with it's own numbering - dividing my units/sub-pdfs as files in the book. And the book would constitute the full file. I haven't checked the book topic yet, I have to check if you can easily separate one unit and pages would start from 1.     ... View more

Thank you! It all makes sense! ... View more

Thank you! So my guess was correct, but there was some upgrade (making it non printable). Thanks! ... View more

@Dave Creamer of IDEASI have section marker in Header and it seem to work defining headers correctly as I defined sections. Do you mean this or Running header (text variable)? How I should apply this one? ... View more

@Willi Adelberger  Yes it would be my bet as well. I thought it should work without overriding/braking connection. But do you see any other solution to the situation: I have Parent A with Header style that is included in Table of Content I apply Sections to document to define units and In Parent A I placed section marker as content of Header. Now every unit have correct header (thanks to sections and section marker placed in contents of Header on Parent A), but none of these unit titles are included in Table of Contents, as they are connected to Parent page. How to include them in ToC without soft-breaking header? ... View more

My bad, I was testing text update - content of frame is disconnected, but any changes of frame position work as you described. Works 101%. Thank you! It also addresses my other concern - as I have this header on all pages in unit, I was concerned that I will have to differenciete style of paragraphs - first one in the unit to be included in ToC, and subsequent ones to be ommited, but since I have to soft break the one I want to include in ToC, I no longer have to worry about duplicates ❤️ ... View more

Thanks @Willi Adelberger  - I paired this with section markers, so there was no real content on parent pages indeed, but these variable headers still were not included in ToC if they were connected with parent. Disconnecting headers worked as per Eugene's recommendation. Thank you for all the tips! ... View more

Thanks @Eugene Tyson , it worked!   It got completely disconnected though. Do you think it is bug? Because as for feature it is not explained at all. Ragarding the second question - do you think there is a better way to include in ToC page without visible header, than to create invisible header? Use case: I'm creating book that includes some full-page posters, and i would like to have this poster included in ToC. I wonder if I should create white(invisible) header beneth the poster or this is not recommended? ... View more
