What if you need more than (5) colors?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 16:15:08 GMT

I'm working on a corporate training manual that will have (9) sections and I'd like a contrasting color for each. When I try to use Adobe Color it will only show a maximum of (5).

These colors will be used for Page Numbers, Topic Headlines and Subheads.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tom

Looking for advice on training manual color theme

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 09 Nov 2014 23:58:37 GMT

I am putting together a company training manual with (9) different topics and I would like to use a unique color for each. The colors will be used for Page Numbers, Section Titles and Section Subheads using the font family Myriad Pro.

I can of course just start experimenting but thought that maybe someone hear might be able to suggest an option or two. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Making adjustments to different photos with a common background

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 23 Jun 2013 03:34:05 GMT

Hello,

I have nearly 100 photos that I need to adjust for a directory. All the photos were taken with the same camera with the same lighting. Is there an easy way I can select a color in the background to make adjustments so they all look the same? Doesn't have to be perfect just close.

I'm using CS6 on a MacBook Pro 10.8

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tom

InDesign CS5 - Text has magenta halo when printing (InDeign file and PDF from InDesign)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 01:56:57 GMT

I've had the strangest thing happen.

I have a job that I'm printing here in the office on a HP OfficeJet 8500A (755A). It's a membership directory 28 page (8-1/2 x 11 saddle stitched) for a small church group. I built it and then Exported it to High Quality PDF.

The project is for 35 copies and I'm printing them out one page side at a time. Page one, fine. Page two fine. But then half way through page three it went funky and started printing with a magenta halo around all the text.

So I cleaned the printer heads, adjusted the alignment etc. and printed the test samples all looks great.

Started to print again and same problem, fuzzy text. So I opened a Word document and another PDF (not created from InDesign) I have and printed those. They both look great.

So I tried printing from the original Indesign document and darn, fuzzy text.

So, Word and another PDF print fine. The printer test pages print fine. Well I know sometimes files get a hiccup in them so I did a Save As to clear things up.

I printed on copy straight from InDesign and it looked good. Made the PDF and oh know, it's back to printing fuzzy!

So today I'm working on a brochure, completely different file and dang it, it's got fuzzy text too.

I've tried different paper too. I 24# Inkjet paper and a 180gm HP Glossy Brochure stock.

I can't figure out why other documents made with other programs are working OK but not InDesign. And what's even stranger to me is the first two pages printed just fine and half the third.

Any help out there?

P.S. I've tried printing the PDF's from both Acrobat X as well as Apple's Preview app.

How to open a .ps file in landscape

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:11:47 GMT

OK, I'm not sure this is the proper forum but it is where I thought I would start.

Mac OS 10.6.4

InDesign CS4 v6.0.5

Acrobat Pro 9 v9.3.4

PROBLEM:

I've created a booklet using Letter-Half documents (i.e. 2-up on US Letter). I now need to send it to the enduser in a printable PDF.

I've tried using the Print Booklet option but for some reason the Adobe PDF Printer is not available so I've created the document using the Adobe Postscript Printer.

From here I opened this file using Acrobat but my problem is it is printing in Portrait not Landscape so there is extra white space on the top and bottom and the right-facing page is cut off as it runs off the page.

I've even tried to go into "Printer Settings" at the bottom of the print dialog box and use Apple's "Print as PDF" but that didn't work.

QUESTION:

(1) Does anyone know why the Adobe PDF Printer isn't showing up in the printer options?

(2) Is there an easier way to do this than what I've attempted?

(3) If creating a .ps file is the only way to do this, then how can I get it into landscape?

I've also tried to download and install the BookletCE.mxp script but it failed to install stating (CSXS Extensions require that the 'file' tag has a "source" attribute which is the root directory containing the files necessary to create a CSXS Extension.) what ever that means.

I also found something called MakeBooklet.jsxbin script but when I double clicked on it, a box came up asking about a language. Again I have no clue what that means.

USER interaction with List Field

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 15:33:08 GMT

How can I make it that when a USER is tabbing through fields in a form, once they reach a LIST FIELD they can simply choose the ENTER/RETURN KEY for the list to drop down and they can use the UP and DOWN arrows to move to different LIST ITEMS?

Then by choosing ENTER/RETURN KEY once again they input their selection as the entry for that field.

This works with many web forms so I was wondering if it would work with Acrobat.

Text Field: Changing Default Values Appearance

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 14:45:48 GMT

At best I am a novice when it comes to Acrobat 9 Pro and I need some help.

I'd like to have the default value the USER sees disappear when they click inside the text field box and I'd like the Default Value to be a lighter color than the USER's input text.

I've seen this done in other forms so I'm wondering if this is possible in Acrobat.

Bulk adjusting photos in Photoshop

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 01:23:55 GMT

This may not even be possible. I used to use Photoshop years ago but am quite lost with this new stuff.

I've got 100 photos of members to be used in a membership directory. All the photos were taken at the same location with the same background and lighting over a couple of days.

I didn't take the photos but looking at what was sent me some look to only need minor adjustments while others vary a great deal and look either much too red or yellow, I'm assuming it was a lighting issue.

Since I know these new programs have many new features I'm hoping that there is some way I can bulk edit these all at the same time or have some sort of Actions set so that it will apply the same adjustments to all to make them more uniform. If I got to go back and tweak a couple that's OK but as I said it's been years since I've really done anything with the program so I'm kind of lost.

I use InDesign quite a bit and just upgraded from CS2 to Adobe CS4 Design Premium to put this project together. Is there anyone out there that can offer a suggestion?

Thanks in advance,

TomKC

P.S. I see you can now upload images to the discussions. I'd be happy to upload a couple of samples if it might help with anyone's assistance.
