Can`t export an InDesign document as PDF "in use by one or more background task"

Can anyone help me with this?

I had to force shut my computer.. re saved my document, and still gives me the same message when I am trying to export...Not a big fan of InDesign.. I guess I will just go the old slow way, Photoshop>Acrobat...
Thank you!

  • Can I export an InDesign document to multiple PDFs?

    CS3 here. Soon to be CS 5.5.... but I have a 13 page document. Our print provider needs me to upload each page separately on their website. Ugh. Is there a way to export to PDF from ID CS3 and have each page be it's own separate PDF file? Or do I have to do it manually?

    There’s a script floating around but it’s easier to export one PDF and then use the extract pages command in Acrobat to make single pages.

  • Export indesign document to pdf white strokes around text

    Hello there, I have this problem, I am exporting an indesign document to interactive pdf, and the problem seams to appear, when I open the created pdf in adobe reader x, it shows some of the text with white outlines, and the text looks very thick. When previewed in indesign, it looks perfect, text looks crisp. I also opened the pdf document with apples preview, and in preview it looks fine! But in adobe reader it looks horible, I tried adobe readers on other computers, and they all show up with the outline. What causes this anoying issue? plase help, thanks

    We'd have to see the file to know for sure, but this sounds like a transparency flattening issue. Thickened text is indicative of it being converted to outlines, whcih can happen when it interacts with transparency. It's not clear if your white lines are around theindividual glyphs, or around the entire areas. The latter is also a common flattenign artifact called "stitching" that shows up on screen and in low resoution printing.
    The first bit of advice is to keep your text at the top of the stacking order, above transparency, shadows, and other effects. It sometimes helps to have a top layer just for text. The way to eliminate these artifacts 100% of the time is to not flatten transparency at all, which is possible in Print PDFs, but alas, not in Interactive.

  • Missing € character when exporting from Indesign (CS4) to PDF

    I think the subject line says it all. I'm not an expert user, but have not previously had
    this problem. I get a new iMac with CS4 reinstalled
    and now 'lose' the Euro character when I export my Indesign files to
    PDF - does anyone have any advice please? Thanks.

    Even so - I don't know why - but the problem is with some fonts that the Euro doesn't show.
    I always use the Euro font for the Euro symbol and never have an issue.
    Even if you do manage to get the Helvetica Euro to show up in the PDF there is a chance it can drop out at the RIP stage and not appear in print - I've seen it happen far too many times.
    Euro font is your friend.

  • When I export an indesign document the graphics are missing from the eps file.

    When I export an indesign document the graphics are missing from the eps file.

    The why it isn't working can be a number of reasons. While I never have exported an EPS out of ID before, I just tried it and it worked fine.
    What "graphics" are missing? I used bitmaps, native drawn ID vector, lines and a placed EPS file. Came into AI as an opened EPS fine.
    Links up to date? For items not hitting the EPS, are they on a layer set to non-printing?
    In the export dialog,General tab, PostScript Level 3? Data format set to ASCII? On the Advanced tab, Send Data set to All? OPI off?

    In Responses, Can I export the data in a pdf form excluding null data?

    Let me make sure I understand the request...  There is a feature in the Response table to "Save Response as PDF Form" and you'd like to do this excluding the null data (unanswered questions).  If that is correct it is not supported, the "Save Response as PDF form" will save a PDF that is the entire form filled out as the user filled it.
    Thanks,

  • I can no longer print any document in PDF format. Not sure why

    I can no longer print any document in PDF format. Not sure why? When I try to print, the document saves to my hard drive as a PDF and will not allow me to print? Never had this issue before. Any thoughts?

    what version of pages?
    what is the files type that you are trying to export?
    what do you mean unless I create a duplicate file? the whole point of export is that you get a new file with a new format

  • Export an InDesign file to PDF and InDesign freezes and quits

    I keep trying to export an InDesign file to PDF and InDesign keeps freezing up and quitting. This is the first time it's done this, I have never had a problem before.I recently added Suitcase Fusion to my computer and wondered if this was the cause, or if there is something else wrong.

    Try disabling the suitcase plugin and see if it continues (you'd probably have other problems, too, though, if it's the culprit). Often it's a bit of bad text or an image. See Adobe Community: File Crashing on Output - printing/PDF/other for lots of troubleshooting tips.

    Did you choose Czech as the language for OCR? If not, please follow these steps:
    Choose File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document in Acrobat.
    Click Settings at the bottom of the Save As dialog box.
    Click Set Language.
    Choose Czech from the Primary OCR pop-up menu, and then click OK.

  • Does the DPS publishes only for tablets? can I publish my indesign file to html only using DPS?

    Does the Digital Publishing Suite publishes only for tablets?  can I publish my indesign file to html only using DPS?

    DPS will not do what you want and neither with anything else without at
    least some work.
    HTML out of InDesign is for content only, not layout. There is a new
    product out there you can try, however:

  • Can't get duplex print option for pdf files using  Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP8600

    I get two-sided option for normal printing, but
    I can't get duplex print option for pdf files using  Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP Officejet Pro 8600.  HP says it's an Adobe problem. I'm stuck.
    Thanks in advance.

    It depends where the pdf is located. If in the Finder or in an attachment to
    an email in Entourage, the message is ³You can¹t open the application
    ³Acrobat Reader 5.0² because PowerPC applications are no longer supported².
    If an attachment in an email that has come via Safari, the message is
    ³Safari can¹t open the file because no available applications can open it².
    In each case the menu bar is Finder or Entourage or Safari as the case may
    be.

  • Can I select layers when exporting an Indesign book to PDF ?

    Hello,
    I've created a book consisting of separate Indesign files, each containing different languages. Each language is in a separate layer.
    I then created 4 different book which each contain about 5 files. This makes that I have 4 books with all languages spread over different layers. When I export the book to PDF I would like to be able to select the language layer so I can create a PDF file per language. I can open each file to hide all language layers except the one I want to export, but that is a time consuming work.
    I am wandering if there is a quicker way to export to PDF each language without having to open and resave each separate Indesign file.
    Thanks for all the feedback.
    Tom

    Why do you need to omit the French layer for a German book?
    Just export with all the layers.
    Then, in Acrobat, turn off the French (Italian, Spanish, English?) and leave German exposed.
    Save as "Meine tollen deutschen Buchmarkt.pdf".
    Then, turn off all the layers except Frenh, and save it as "Mon excellent livre français.pdf"
    I promise you that no one outside of a very few people will ever know that there are layers with other languages hidden. Hardly anyone who uses Acrobat knows there are layers at all. (Except the brilliant people on this forum)

  • Export InDesign Document to PDF-Clipped Error

    When I export an InDesign file to Interactive PDF, I get the following message.
    I've tried everything I can think of. What is the resolution?
    Brooke ...

    The only answer is to not clip the interactive elements, and to always have them on the top layer. That's how the files will end up anyway. Because, as the message says-- the PDF format cannot reproduce what you did in an interactive file.
