Exporting JPEGs from InDesign CS4

I've exported jpegs from InDesign CS4 for years and each time I get an Export JPEG dialog box that gives me the option to adjust the resolution. Suddenly, when I export to JPEG, I get no dialog box and it automatically creates a JPEG at 300 dpi. I've looked everywhere in Preferences to see if I inadvertently changed settings, but I find nothing. Help?

  • Exporting JPEGs from InDesign CS4 Part 2

    It was suggested that I trash the InDesign preferences to correct a problem, that being, when I go to export a file as a JPEG, the dialog box does not come up for me to set the resolution, it simply creates the JPEG in 300 dpi. Trashing the preferences did not solve this problem. Any other suggestions?

  • Problems exporting pdf from indesign CS4

    when I export a pdf using flattening the pdf contains lines (1 pixel) that contain 1-2% more black. The image used in the file (see below) is a transparant psd on a gradient.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
    Thank you
    Jeroen

    Just because a printer demands flattened transparency in PDF files they accept, doesn't mean that it is proper practice. Flattened transparency and lack of full color management requires what is effectively a highly device dependent PDF file where you know exactly what the device's color space and resolution are at the time you perform the transparency flattening. As far as we are concerned, any print service provider that refuses a properly created PDF file with live transparency and color management is a print provider, where the word service is definitely not appropriate. Such printers would rather blame you, the customer, for problems as opposed to using their professional skills and provide service to you.
    Although Adobe is a vendor member of the Ghent PDF Workgroup (in fact, I am Adobe's representative to that group), Adobe does not endorse use of its PDF/X Plus standards and settings until such time such standards and settings are based on PDF/X-4. Such a change is supposed to occur within the next year.
    In terms of the actual artifacts you are seeing, do the same artifacts show when you print to a local PostScript printer?
    What do you see and how does it print if you export using the PDF/X-4 settings?
    And finally, to respond to Peter Spier's comment, I highly doubt that TIFF or PSD would make any difference in theory (although I have learned that you can't always count on theory ).

  • Can you have a PDF fit on the viewer's screen automatically when exporting from InDesign CS4?

    Can you have a PDF fit on the viewer's screen automatically when exporting from InDesign CS4?

    If you were to upgrade to InDesign CS5 or CS5.5 and if you exported as Adobe PDF (Interactive), you could set the View settings for Page Layout and Zoom.
    While, as Jongware points out, its possible for individual users to override that option (Preferences > Page Display > Default Layout and Zoom), the number who will actually do that is actually very tiny.

  • New problem printing from InDesign CS4 in Lion

    After having great success with Aisolve's earlier fix on printing from InDesign CS4 after upgrading to Lion, I'm having a new problems after installing the OS X 10.7.2 upgrade last week. When I try to print from  InDesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4 to my Lanier 445c/Ricoh C4500 at my workplace I get the following error message:
    "Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem."
    This seems like a different issue this time, as I'm able to print to my home printers, an HP LasertJet 2600n and an HP Photosmart C4270. I thought it might be a printer driver problems, but I've gone to Lanier's site and they don't have any new printer drivers for Mac OS X 10.7.
    I also some research on Adobe's site, and found this message affecting CS1, 2 & 3. I tried the only fix that seemed to apply to me, which was re-naming/deleting the InDesign Deafults and InDesign SavedData files. (I have this problems even when I'm printing a text-only file without any graphics.) This fix didn't work.
    I can print to the Lanier/Ricoh from Acrobat 9, and all my non-Adobe software just fine, so my work-around to date has been exporting to PDF and printing from there. My big problem is that I need the "Print Booklet" feature in InDesign for a big job I've got coming up this week. Can't do that from Acrobat. :-(
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    mmsteer,
    I think I may be able to help you with this problem, which I was having with CS4 when I first upgraded to Lion, and others were having with CS3. This fix is courtesy of Aisolve on these discussion boards:
    Remove the Adobe PDF PPDs from the following folders:
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
    Be sure to go to your system Library, not your user Library.
    Also, regarding my current problem, I spoke with an Apple tech person and found that the 10.7.2 upgrade apparently is the culprit, and is incompatible with wireless printing to my Lanier printer. I CAN print connected through USB. That's a work-around for now, but I'll need to contact Lanier about upgrading their driver for OS X 10.7.2.
    Aisolve was helping me with this issue, too, and assures me that if I'm able to generate a postscript file (which I was), and able to generate a PDF by distlling it through Adobe Distiller (which I am), then I can safely assume that the problem lies with the hardware, in this case the printer driver. This lines up with what Apple told me.

  • Cannot print to Adobe PDF from InDesign CS4 under Snow Leopard (10.6.2)

    Hello All,
    Hopefully the subject line says all. Running SL and CS4, and after manually deleting the "old" Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, I am unable to print to PDF — or select "Save As Adobe PDF" under the Mac OS print dialog. This is insanely frustrating on may levels, as this was once a 3-minute operation and now has stretched into two days of futile searching for a solution.
    There is a "tech doc" somewhere out there that offers a "solution". But beware, as it has not worked for me. Once you manually search for and remove the Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, you are supposed to magically be able to select the "Save As Adobe PDF" option. This is not the case for me.
    Am trying to print, once again, from InDesign CS4 (NOT via the Export command as that will not allow me to set page size, or print separations). There is no Adobe PDF driver there anymore and there is no option to print PDFs. Of course, I can rest easier with the knowledge that everything is easier now in SL.

    For a long time I was printing out of InDesign CS4 to a PS file and Distilling to a PDF, either composite or separated. Then Snow Leopard came along and that workflow seemed no longer available. It seems some well meaning people didn't understand a professional DTP workflow.
    I had to work between two Macs to create a project and then make separations.
    Eventually I went back to the Adobe InDesign forums and folks insisted that a Adobe PDF 9 printer should be available in my print drivers.
    On that suggestion I completely uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and then reinstalled it.
    It worked, I had the PDF printer back and can now print to a postscript file and do separations as I always have.
    (Another story is that Snow Leopard killed my Epson 2200 printer)
    At one stage I did an update of Acrobat 9 and it caused me to lose the Adobe printer again. Going through the procedure again brought it back and this time after a Acrobat 9 update it stuck.
    In my opinion somebody screwed up. It's not enough to be able to create PDFs out of Microsoft Word. There are people out here trying to make a living and need to be able to create print separations for some offset printers.

  • How to create a smallest file size pdf from indesign CS4 document

    How to create a smallest file size pdf (suitable for upload to a website) from indesign CS4 document which contains multiple illustrator CS4 illustrations.
    I have chosen the "smallest file size option" but the pdf file is over 30MB, can anyone help please.
    Thank you

    One trick is to
    Set the placed graphics to have a transparency of 99.9% (you can do this with Find/Change and select Objects)
    This is enough to force the graphics throught the Transparency Flattener
    Next set the Transparency Blend Space to RGB (Edit>Transparency Blend Space)
    Next set a custom Transparency Flattner Preset Edit>Transparency Flattner
    Next
    Use File>Export and choose
    Smallest file size
    PDF Compatibility Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)
    In Advanced Section - go to transparency and selec the new Flattener Preset you created.
    *this will convert your vectors to raster, but it should reduce your file size

  • Scaling issue when printing to HP devices from InDesign CS4

    I seem to have a recurring error printing from InDesign CS4 (OS X Leopard 10.5.8) to both my HP printers (C3180 & Officejet Pro 8500). When printing at 100% size, the artwork gets scaled up slightly. For example, creating a simple 5 x 5" box ends up coming out at 5.125 x 5.125" on the printed sheet (with no scaling turned on in the print dialogue).
    I've not been able to find any support issues related to this on either HP or Adobe's site. I suspect it's s driver/postscript incompatability issue. The same artwork prints at the correct size when exporting to PDF and printing from Acrobat.
    Curious if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.

    A large percentage of problems we see related to printing seem to be with HP printers. Are you doing borderless or anything like that? What is the page size and scaling in the driver?

  • Exporting Jpegs from Lightroom - DPI question

    When I export Jpegs from Lightroom, I set the dpi to 300 pixels per inch. I do not specify a max width or height. When I view these files in Adobe Bridge (CS2 or CS3) the file info says 300dpi. However, when I open the files in Photoshop and select image size, It says 72dpi and has the document size set to very large. I realize that I can enter 300 dpi and uncheck the resample box, I am just confused as to why this is happening.
    My concern is, that I upload my images directly to my lab after exporting from Lightroom. Will this cause problems?
    Thanks in advance!
    David

    the image resolution is a combination of the two parameters you mention: size and dpi. a very large size at 72 dpi is equivalent to a small size (like 3x5) at very high dpi. for printing you want at least 240 dpi at the largest size that allows you to keep that resolution. for screen presentations or your web site you want jut 72 dpi. 72 dpi and 2x3 inches will require a very small file size.
    I suggest you to export images at TIFF and not JPEG as that will allow you to preserve the image quality when doing editing in PS.
    In my case I export TIFF for PS (when I need PS editing) and 72 dpi JPEG for my web site (that way if somebody downloads my image illegally thy get a poor resolution copy). But since LR works very well for me 90% of the images re just kept in raw mode and I print from LR.

  • Exporting Table from Indesign to tagged text.

    Hi, all!<br />I need to export table from InDesign to tagged text by the script.<br />I found ExportAllStories.jsx in samples.<br />It's good example but I have some questions<br />1. In my document more then one table and I need to export only some of them. So, how can I export only one of them? May be Tables have some "labels" or something other differential sign?<br />2. How can I ser encoding type of distanation file (by the default InDesing set <ASCII-WIN>, but I'm need to set <Unicode>).

    Open the INDD in InCopy.
    This assumes everyone involved has access to the files.

  • Font issue in exported PDF from indesign

    Font issue in exported PDF from indesign:
    In Indesign file we have kept a sentence in “Univers LT Std” (San serif font) with all caps style that was orginally in lower case. Refer below
    When we selected the sentence in exported PDF some of the characters are not selected. Refer below.
    If we enable “create tagged PDF“ in export PDF setting, then the problem is solved. Refer below.
    Can you please check why this problem happened? In another project also we have faced this same problem but different font “Frutiger LT Std” with all caps style. Here also same San serif font. Please check and advise to solve this issue permanently.

    Without tags a PDF is a silly amount of letters, images and lines, with tags all itams a kept in their semantic context. So work with tags as it is the only way to get correct selections and export to other file types like Word DOCX.
    Without tags InDesign reads from left to right from top to bottom and the font geometry might influence the correct order of letters.
    Why should anyone work without tags today? If you open a tagged PDF in Acrobat DC it is much faster than without tags.

  • Problem with exported jpegs from CS5 PSDs with transparent backgrounds

    I've detected an issue where when exporting jpegs from a CS5 PSD layered file with a transparent background, the jpegs don't have a pure white background (255, 255, 255). They seem to range from 250, 250, 250 to 253, 253, 253.
    LR3 with same export settings does not show this behavior--it's pure white: 255, 255, 255.

    Bill,
    Another very helpful solution and I appreciate knowing how to fix it in both applications. Thanks!

  • Upgrading from InDesign CS4 to CS5.5

    How much would it cost to upgrade from InDesign CS4 to CS5.5

    There is no longer any official upgrade for any version of InDesign. The only offerings from Adobe now are Creative Cloud subscriptions (which currently provide access to both CC and CS6 versions), or purchasing a perpetual license for CS6, at full price, with the understanding that CS6 is considered "feature complete" and will not receive any further updates and may not work on the next OS releases or new generations of hardware.

  • Export PDF from InDesign Book

    Hi, I have a customer that has huge problems to export PDFs from InDesign Books. He has books with many documents with a total amount of 500-700 pages, when he try to export a PDF InDesign quit unexpectedly. I wrote a script for him that export the PDF from the book without the progress bar, and sometimes it solves the problem but sometimes not, and I have a "out of memory" message. He must export multiple PDF from the same book and then merge those PDF with Acrobat but he has also interactivity sometimes and it's a nightmare to merge PDFs with interactive objects and bookmarks.  Someone of you have experienced the same problem (and maybe has a solution)?  Thank you

    It seems that InDesign saturate the available RAM during the operation of gathering information before start to export, if I restart InDesign each time and export a selection of documents it works. I'm exporting now two separate PDF and it seems to work, but again only if I close and restart InDesign before exporting, I'm working on an iMac with an Intel 2.93 GHz i7 and a total of 8 GB RAM.

  • Maintaining Text Formatting from Indesign CS4 to Illustrator CS4

    Hey folks,
    I'm trying to transfer copy a section of text with bullets from InDesign CS4 back into Illustrator CS4.  When I copy it over to Illustrator, I lose my bullets.  I know I could do this in CS3 and maintain the bullets, but the approach I used in CS3 doesn't work for CS4.
    Anyone know how to pull this off without me having to go into Illustrator and kluge together some bullets from scratch?
    Thanks!
    -Dusty.

    Thanks for the response Bob.
    How do I convert my Indesign bullets to text, or are you saying I need to create them as Wingdings or somesuch and not as actual bullets?
    The bullets are the main issue, but my formatted text isn't transferring either.  The text I paste from Indesign to Illustrator removes the formatting I had in Indesign (e.g., font-family, size, etc.)
    Thanks,
    -Dusty.
