How to export a PDF including all of the borders?

I am very new to InDesign. I have only used it a handful of times and am unfamiliar with setting up pages. I was given a file and I have to export it.
The problem is that, when I export it as a PDF, a small part of the image is cut off on each page. I have attached an image showing this.
The outermost red "border" does not export. Only the black "border" and everything inside the black border export. I want to export everything, including the parts of the image included in the outermost red border.
It is only about .125," but it is part of the bleed area, and if it doesn't export, everything is too close to the edge. Does anyone know how to export everything, including the outermost red border? I apologize if this is obvious. I am just not well acquainted yet with the program. Thank you very much in advanced.
Operating System: Mac OS X (10.9)
InDesign Version: CS6

The .125" bleed will be cut off, so if you think some elements are too close to the edge when the bleeds are NOT exported, you will still have the same appearance when the bleeds ARE exported because the bleeds are meant to be cut off at the document (trim) edges.
Although that is true, I am uploading the image to a website, where you can preview the file before it is printed. Without the bleed, the website automatically creates a new bleed, using the final trim size, so everything is closer to the edge.
When I export it with the correct bleed and upload it to the site, it is correctly displayed, if that makes sense.

How i can insert videos, export to pdf and then watch the video? i can't. It is suposse that i have to configurate the option save but i don't know how... any help?

Fron the Pages Help menu:
Using Sound and Movies
You can add audio—a music file, a playlist from your iTunes library, or any other sound file—to a Pages document. You can add video that plays within a page.
Pages accepts any QuickTime or iTunes file type, including the following:
MOV
MP3
MPEG-4
AIFF
AAC
Also note that some media files are protected under copyright law. Some downloaded music may be played only on the computer where the download occurred. Make sure the computer you are using has permission to play all the media files included in your document.
When you add media files to your document, make sure that they will be available if you transfer your document to another computer. When saving your document, make sure the option “Copy audio and movies into document” is selected in the Save window. (If you don’t see the option, click the button next to the Save field to display the entire Save window, and then click the Advanced Options disclosure triangle.)

How to include all of the original text in email replies with attachment

I am using Mac Mail and I have set up the composing preferences to include all of the original message when responding. This only works so long as I don't send an attachment. If I send an attachment in my reply then the recipient doesn't receive any of the previous text, although the copy in my 'sent' box has it on. I contacted BT and got the following response "If you can send and receive emails including attachments via this software then this indicates that the client configuration is correct, and unfortunately this is as far as we can support Mac Mail. I would suggest you seek further advice from Apple as this may be down to the way you have configured the mail client’s composing preferences. Apple’s help desk will be able to tell you if this is a known issue". I've searched the forum for an answer but couldn't find one, does anyone know how to fix this?

Annette, welcome to Apple Discussions.
I don't know what is causing your mail problem, but offer a possible alternate solution.
Open the email you want to respond to. Then click reply. Then copy the text.
Then open a new message and paste the copied text. Add your attachment & any additional new text. Then send.
 Cheers, Tom

How to export a PDF to a word document? at the moment it came up with "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing ????? what can I do? thanks

Hi frenchiem,
This is due to the PDF file cannot display the original fonts. To fix it, creator should create the PDF file with the embed font option enabled. Thus, user can open the file on any platform with the same layout. Or the Acrobat product can display them after you install the appropriate font support package on the client side.

Anyone know how to export a PDF from InDesign so it is "click to go to next page" instead of "scroll to go to next page"?

Anyone know how to export a PDF from InDesign so it is "click to go to next page" instead of "scroll to go to next page"?

I don't use the latest InDesign, but in the past ID's options for exporting to PDF did not allow setting how a PDF should be viewed once exported. However, these settings can be adjusted in Acrobat through Preferences: check out Page Layout and Zoom under Page Display.

     break;
InterfacePtr<IInteractivePDFExportPrefs> pExportPrefs(pPDFExportCmd, IID_IINTERACTIVEPDFEXPORTPREFS );

I am trying to export a pdf to word but the document keeps "loading " for a long period of time and won't complete?

Hi Jennee,
You're using the Save As > Microsoft Word command in Acrobat (and what version are you using)? At what point does the status bar in the lower-right corner hang up (Pre-processing, Recontructing, and so on)? What type of content is there in the PDF, and how large is it? Are you having Acrobat run OCR on the file as it converts (you can check this by clicking Settings in the Save As dialog box)? Do you have trouble saving other PDF files as Word documents?
A lot of questions, I know. But I need to know a bit more about the document to determine why it's hanging up on export.
Thanks

Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password. I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes. Please help.

Captivate 7. How can I distribute audio across all of the slides?

New to Captivate. When I recorded the audio, I did not know to record it to all of the slides. all the audio is on the first slide. How can I distribute it across all of the video slides?

@parth vyas ??? Why do you recommend to record/import this as background audio? I suppose the user wants to distribute the audio over slides, and to control how much audio on each slide, placing the slide markers where he wants? No such control is possible with background audio, which is just meant as... background.
@[email protected] Welcome to the forum,
So you choose to record to one slide which means that the slide will have a duration that corresponds with the length of the recorded audio clip. And you now want to distribute it over more sides? Is that a correct interpretation of your question?
One possibility is Audio, Edit, Project. In the editing dialog box, zoom out so that you see the entire audio clip. At its end you'll see a marker with a flag Slide 2 (yellow), which you can drag to the left, and then the audio will be partially on the second slide. At the new end you'll have the marker with flag Slide 3...
Second possibility: the audio clip will be in the Library. You can delete the audio on the first slide (Audio accordion), shorten slide to its wanted duration; then import the audio clip from the Library and you'll get a dialog box that has the option to distribute the audio over slides.
Third possibility: if you have the creative cloud or CS6, you'll have the roundtripping functionality with Audition CS6 or CC if you choose that option in the Edit Audio (Project) dialog box, and you can drag the slide markers in Audition.

HT4906 How do export photos from an iMac to the cloud to access them on an iPad?

How do export photos from an iMac to the cloud to access them on an iPad?

You can do it by manually adding those photos to My Photo Stream and let the iPad access them and copy to the iPad's Camera Roll for permanent residence on the iPad. The photos will be viewable in the Ps for 30 days.
Or create a Shared Photo Stream which will leave the photos up indefinitely and access the Shared Photo Stream (private or public) with the iPad.
Of course both devices must be signed in to the same iCloud account and have Photo Stream enabled.
the My Photo Stream is not a permanent situation wereas Shared Photo Streams are.

Colors when exporting to PDF get all screwy

This just started last Friday - all of the sudden I can no
longer print to PDF, export as PDF, export as a JPEG, copy to
Photoshop or anything like that without the colors "solarizing" -
it's almost like a reverse image. Type, imported photos, vector
art, it's all the same, and the end result is that I can't get
anything out of Freehand in order to send proofs, etc. I've
reinstalled both Freehand, and the entire Creative Suite to see if
I had really messed up my preferences - but nothing seems to work.
Anybody else out there who has had a similar problem, please let me
know!

What is your platform and OS?
What are your FH color management settings?
Have you calibrated your monitor? If so, how?
Before reinstalling FH to clear problems, it's important to
trash the
Preferences and other settings files in the Settings folder.
They are not
overwritten when FH is reinstalled. On Mac OS X, the settings
are here:
Users/(Username)/Library/Application Support/ Macromedia/
FreeHand MX/ 11/

Pages: How to export a PDF suitable for print-on-demand

I need to be able to export a PDF from Pages that will meet the specs for the IngramSpark or Lightning Source Print on Demand programs. They require a PDF that has all fonts fully embedded in one of these two PDF versions:
PDF/X-1a:2001 or PDF/X-3:2002
Does Pages export - either through the export function or Print function - to either of those specs and does it embed full font sets?
Thanks.

The reason neither Pages, or Swift Publisher nor most of the low cost DTP apps do this on OSX is because they use Apple's muddled print output. It almost but not quite outputs to PDF/X-3:2002, and even there there are caveats.
Indesign and QuarkXpress use their own print engines and Scribus uses GhostScript.
GhostScript is available for OSX. I have not tried this so you are in wide open territory, but experiment to see if it fixes Pages' output. My suspicions are that GhostScript may not capture Pages' output before it has already been through Apple's muddled output.
There are other problems with Apple's approach. No specifiable defined colours in Styles. No spot colours, and no proofing. ColorSync itself is powerful but undocumented and difficult to tailor. You can run the end result through Acrobat Pro's Press Check but it only picks up the errors, you are on your own trying to fix them.
The only easy to use, low price DTP application that meets your requirements is Serif PagesPlus, which runs only on Wimdows. You can run this in BootCamp or some other virtualiser.
Adobe lets you effectively hire Indesign CC by the month so may be a cost effective solution in the short term. It is a professional solution but has a professionally difficult interface.

How to export smaller PDFs

Hello! I have bene using Freehand, but have been forced to migrate to Illustrator which I am learnign quickly. But I have been unable to figure out how to create good quality PDFs from my multi-page Illustrator CS5 files. Currently my PDFs are liek 140MB.
I am a graphic designer and am constantly designing stuff which I export/saveAS to PDF which I have to email to my clients. Good quality smaller PDFs would help. It was very easy with Freehand....

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
when i export as pdf in Freehand, I can open in Freehand or Illustrator to edit. So editing later in Illustrator is a nice option to have.
Turning off the Maintain Illustrator Editability option does not mean you can't open the resulting PDF in AI or FreeHand or Draw, or whatever. It just means that you will be opening PDF content, which is a set of simplified objects that are more "universally understood" by drawing programs.
In other words, turning that option off results in a PDF like those you are accustomed to exporting from FreeHand.
Turning that option on actually embeds a full copy of the native Illustrator file in the PDF. That copy is ignored when the PDF is imported by anything other than Illustrator (including even Adobe apps like InDesign). As you would expect, it grossly enlarges the size of the PDF file.
For sending PDFs to your client for review, just selecting the Smallest File Size preset in the Save PDF dialog will usually result in a small enough file for draft purposes (assuming you don't have a bunch of oversampled raster images, etc. in the design.) You can customize the varioius export options to further reduce size (for example, downsample raster images to screen resolution). You can save the altered settings combination that you like as a preset for future use.
Saving Illustrator native files performs similar smoke & mirrors. By default, when you save an AI native file nowadays, it embeds a second full version of the content as PDF. Turning off the "Acrobat Compatibility" (or something like that) option when saving in native AI format similarly prevents bloating your AI native files.

How to export and NOT include metadata or EXIF data

When I export versions, each photo has the metadata included. How do I export without any information in the photo?
Any exported photo I do and you open it in EXIF Viewer, all the camera info, exposure etc… is all there.
I export to JPG from NEF D300 files.

In the "Export Presets" you can de-select the option "Include metadata" at the top of the window. If you want to then you could create a new preset that does not include your metadata, so that you have one with and one without metadata.
When you export your files then be sure to select the correct preset.
