InDesign CS4 swf print option

Hello! I have searched all over the place and I can't seem to find the answer to this. I want to be able to export a document as a swf where the user can print all of the pages. Right now when I export the file, only the page that is being viewed is printed. My client has been using Flash paper for this and they aren't willing to switch to pdf. Anyone know how to do this?

Hi guys,
can you help me? I have similar problem. If I put swf into PDF (for example in Adobe InDEsign CS4), pdf rendered correctly with active SWF, but If I try to print it, SWF is missing. Dou you know any solution or workaround?
Printing from SWF's popupmenu is correct, but only form SWF, not for whole document (it's clean), but it is not solution.
I tried to directly edit postcript generated by CS4. There is annotation object /Type /Annot where we can set attribute /F 4 (it is enable/disable print this annotation). This does not work.
Can you help ? I didn't find solution in adobe reference  Adobe® Portable Document Format Version 1.7
Mike
P.S. sorry for my English, it will not be better

  • Can I make an InDesign CS4 .swf export scale depending on the open size of a browser?

    Hi there.  I would like to make my inDesign CS4 .swf file able to scale in accordance with the open size of a browser.  When I have used Flash previously changing the size of the document to 100% achieved this effect.  However, I'm not having much luck with this approach with my inDesign CS4 .swf export.  I'm loathe to export it as an XML file for Flash as I want to keep my fancy page turns. Any help would be very much appreciated.  I'm not very fluent in Flash-speak so I'd also appreciate it if anyone offering a solution could t-a-l-k r-e-a-l s-l-o-w.

    This is quite old thread, I don´t have those source codes anymore... besides many people still uses monitors with width of 1024, 1219px wide magazine would clip in those monitors, so I don´t suggest to use it without shrinking....
    Anyway, if you want to improve positioning of your SWF, you have at least two way to do it
    1) Go to free http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html and create a new html-wrapper for your project
    2) If that´s not enough or you want some extra features like zoom, print or search, go to http://www.edocker.com and download a free trial of eDocker.
    ps. eDocker is in Adobe MAX Awards final, if you want to help it to win.... go to

  • Indesign CS4 - Swf export

    I am using Indesign CS4 to make a page turn and it works fine.
    The problem I have, that the PDF I insert in indesign contains both text and pictures and look crystal clear. After I have done the export to swf the pictures still look OK, but the text is simply unreadable. In the export options I have tried different options, but no matter what the text stays unreadable.
    The PDF is use is standard A4 format, but when it is exported it seems that it has been compressed to smaller size - and maybe that is the reason ?
    Any of you able to help me, so I can use this great page turn function

    I've never exported to SWF, but isn't a placed PDF treated as an image? I.e. any text in it won't get the same treatment as real InDesign text.

  • InDesign CS4 swf creation of a flip book

    Hi, I have a file 12" x 9" facing pages. I've created the book layout; and adjusted it for the printer so that it appears sideways In InDesign CS4. I would like to create a flip booklet with the pages flipping upwards instead of sidewards. Can it be done?

    I've never exported to SWF, but isn't a placed PDF treated as an image? I.e. any text in it won't get the same treatment as real InDesign text.

  • Printing/Font problem Indesign CS4

    I am hoping someone can help me  figure out an issue I'm having with Adobe Indesign CS4 and printing.
    A few weeks  ago I upgraded from CS3 to CS4. I had just sent a CS3 document to my  printer and it looks great. I decided to update all the files I was  working to CS4 (Indesign) since I knew I'd be working on them within the  next few months. I upgraded and printed out one of the files to my  xerox 6200 phaser and now parts of the document (a 4 page document)  prints out of my printer like it's missing the font. Not all of the  fonts change to a strange courier slanted italic font, just some of  them. I've tried just about everything and am driving myself crazy  trying to get it fixed. I can't attach a sample because it only does it  when printing. I have checked for errors in preflight and I have none.  The fonts I'm using are cronos mm and cronos mm italics. My operating  system is snow leopard 10.4.11.
    These are what I've tried:
    1. I printed  from the indesign 3 file before conversion and it prints fine.
    2.  Made a pdf of the indesign 4 file and no errors and looks great on  screen and prints from the printer and looks great.
    3. I've  printed out individual pages, one at a time, and when printing  individual pages no weird fonts, but when I send the job to printing the  whole document is when I get the weird fonts.
    4. Tried to save it  as an .indx file and print from it and it still has the same issue.
    5.  Exported the text and saved it as plain text from text edit and placed  it in a fresh file and reapplied the fonts and it still prints weird. I  only did 1 and a half pages of it to see if just bringing in clean text  and redoing it but it didn't work.
    6. I'm using Font Agent Pro  3.3.2 and I deleted the fonts from the system and reimported the fonts  from a backup file. Verified the fonts and found that some of the cronos  fonts (expert) couldn't be verified and deleted them, but those weren't  the ones that I was using.
    7. Cleaned the font cache using Tweak  Freak.
    8. Deleted the adobe plist preference thing
    9.  Deleted my printer, downloaded a new driver and font management thing  for my printer and reinstalled it
    10. Restarted numerous times and  reopened the file and printed and it's still printing weird.
    11.  Done a save as several times and gotten the same results.
    12. I've  opened other files that use the same fonts as this file and they've  printed fine after upgrading to cs 4.
    13. Printed from another  person's computer who has everything that I have on my system and his  system does the same thing.
    14. Spent countless hours looking  online and can't find a solution. I'm afraid if I do anymore I will  screw up my computer or indesign or fonts so I thought I'd email this  list to see if there's a solution. Any help would be appreciated.

    Peter,
    Thanks so much! It worked! I changed it to subset and it printed perfect. I had tried everything else in that box, such as binary instead of ascii, level 2 instead of 3, but never changed from complete to subset. I really appreciate your help! And I do still have some hair left. I didn't pull it all out
    As a side though, it's weird that in CS 3 with the same settings - complete - it would print fine, but when upgrading it changed it. I also exported it as a pdf to make sure it looked good on screen and printed out great. Thanks again. I appreciate your help. You are brilliant!

  • 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.

  • Printing issues from InDesign CS4 pdf file

    Good morning,
    Could you help explain and possibly resolve an issue I'm having with an InDesign CS4 pdf file where the text and image drop shadows (40%) are printing as solid black blocked shapes from a large format printer. The file encompasses 1 overall image, 1 image with drop shadow, 3 text frames with drop shadow effect applied to the text and 1 group set of simple rectangular and ellipse objects with a glow.
    My colleagues in graduate school experienced the same with their files and the output bureau's rasterized the pdf file in Photoshop where it printed out with good resolution. Shouldn't this be resolved first in InDesign rather than rasterizing the file?
    I appreciate any help and insight you could offer myself and my colleagues.
    Thank you, Kathryn

    The printing service uses Acrobat 8 Pro and HP large format printer. My InDesign CS4 document is in the color mode of RGB and color type as Process. I saved it as a pdf file using the standard settings as follows: Preset: High Quality Print, Standard: None and Compatibility: Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3). Are there options I should be paying more attention to when creating the PDF file? Also, I was reading up on Peter Spier's response links.
    This brings me to the next question...I'm creating a photo book for grad school with approximately 40 pages of images (RGB, 300dpi) with feathered drop shadows. What would be the best settings to use when exporting as a pdf file for printing services?
    Thank you for your help.

  • Print problems with InDesign CS4

    Hi,
    I have been using InDesign CS4 for the last few years and been printing large format on an HP Deskjet 9560. I always got good color quality on the printouts. Recently, I updated the software on my MacbookPro to Snow Leopard and I was forced to get a new printer, the HP Officejet 7610. When I try to print a docment from InDesign the color quality is really poor. I believe that this is an application issue because I am not having printing color issues from other applications. Can someone please advise if I need to change my settings in the document for printing to help with this color issue?
    Thanks,
    Kim Shephard

    Unfortunately, I have tried this. I choose 'layout' from the printer option within the driver  and pick 'short edged binding'. Still no luck.

  • Moving from Corel Ventura into InDesign CS4 - prints dark

    My company has been using Corel Ventura for years, up to version 10.   We are now switching in InDesign CS4, but everything is printing dark.  We use it to publish black & white manuals, including some photos  & vector art.
    Ventura had an essentially unmanaged color workflow -  everything was set to generic - i.e. - "Generic RGB" & "Generic  CMYK"
    In Indesign, currently we are using "North American General  Purpose 2".  The files are printed to a postscript file in InDesign.   Then made into a PDF via Distiller.  The settings for the PS file &  Distiller we are using came from LightingSource.com.
    I  was assuming that the problem came up in the creation of the PS file -  under Color Handling - it is set to "Let InDesign Determine Colors".  So  I took the other option & used "Let PS printer determine colors"   The pages print lighter now, but they are actually too light.  I'm not  sure what to try next, given that any direct alteration of the printer  setup is out of the question.
    Any help would be great!!!

    Not knowing more, this is a possible solution if you have Photoshop:
    1. In Photoshop with no documents open: Edit Color Settings. By CMYK, Custom CMYK. Black Generation "Maximum"
    2. Hit OK, but NOT to the whole Color Settings dialog, just the Custom CMYK dialog. Again in the CMYK pull down, "Save CMYK" Put the profile in your Color Sync folder where InDesign will recognize it. After you save it CANCEL. You don't really want to alter your Photoshop color settings, you just want to create the Max Black Generation profile
    3. In InDesign. Create a top most layer on master page. Create a white box to fill the whole page. Set Blend Mode to "Color" Lock the layer.
    4. Change the transparency blend space to RGB (Under Edit)
    5. Assign the new Max Black CMYK profile to the ID document (Edit: Assign Profile)
    6. Check with Separations Preview, you should have K channel only
    7. Export PDF/X1a. By Output: Destination: "Document CMYK." You must flatten transparency when you output PDF, and X-1a will do this. The PDF result will be black and white, K channel only. Verify in Acrobat.
    This process converts an all color InDesign document to K only CMYK. Dot Gain will be standard 20% but can be changed in step 1 when you create the custom CMYK.
    Any grayscale images placed should not be affected by this workflow.
    This process is the closest thing I know of to grayscale color management in InDesign.

  • Problems with 'Print Booklet' from InDesign CS4

    I am having problems using the 'Print Booklet commane in InDesign CS4. I have done this 100s of time from CS3 with no problems but for some reason it just won't auto duplex (print on both sides of the paper) when I do it from CS4. USing exactly the same settings, computer and file. The printer is setup correctly as will print double-sided automatically from other apps. Using mac leopard. Any ideas?

    Unfortunately, I have tried this. I choose 'layout' from the printer option within the driver  and pick 'short edged binding'. Still no luck.

  • 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.

  • InDesign CS4 (6.0.6.622) crashes on print, Mac OS X 10.6.8

    I've been following some similar threads but they mostly have to do with Mac OS X Lion.
    I have three users at my site with this particular issue: InDesign CS4 crashes when they need to send the job to print. The crash reports are almost identical for all three users, so I will only post the crash reports from one user's computer:
    Any help would be excellent. Thanks!

    SInce I am only here for a few days, I had to ask the System Admin if there had been any upgrades (software/hardware) performed before 7/28 (the oldest date of InDesign crashes). Does the crash reporter only keep a certain number of crash reports? The most I found in one of the affected computers is 16 items (oldest being 7/28).
    There is some Apple mechanism that ages out crash reports, I think it does so around 60 days. But Adobe also logs the crash reports in a second place, in ~/Library/Logs/Adobe/LogTransport/Archive/ and I do not believe those ever expire.
    This is the ProtectiveShutdownLog of user 3: http://pastebin.com/3DiYqf2H
    So, this says:
    Adobe InDesign Protective Shutdown Log
    Mon Aug 15 15:53:44 2011
    CloseDocCmd - document is still referenced
    Session started up at 3:51 PM on Mon, Aug 15, 2011
    Version: 6.0.6 - Build: 622
    No Error Info
    Document has 2 extra references
    I think this means that the user tried to close the document and InDesign detected an internal consistency error, where some portion of InDesign was still referring to the document it was trying to close, but it could not determine why the reference count was higher than it should have been.
    However, the crashes don't happen at random, but only when they try to print or export to PDF (now).
    Sorry, I think I was unclear.
    What I meant was that from the perspective of the crash reports, the crashes look random. I realize they are all happening from printing, but normally when you have consistent crashing in InDesign (or anything else), it will crash in the same place in the program.
    I suspect you will have to engage Adobe for assistance on this. However, I fear they may just tell you to upgrade to CS5.5...
    Good luck!

  • Printer spreads in InDesign CS4 to PDF

    I have created a 12-page booklet in InDesign CS4. My printer only has CS3 and says they can't open the InDesign file I sent them, even though I sent a .inx file (made from exporting the file as cs3). I sent them a press quality pdf and they said they cannot use that because it is not printer spreads.
    Can I make a pdf of printer spreads? When I choose Print Booklet, I only get choices to print to my printer.

    Whenever the words printer and do your own imposing are put together, my mind goes to full-service copy shops or digital printers.
    I use "printers" like this all the time, and they basically use better printers than my office can afford and have a few other extras for folding and binding. It can be useful, but it isn't offset.
    IF this is the type of printer you mean, imposing yourself isn't so unusual. They often aren't set up for that, or will charge extra.
    I use print booklet to generate the PDF to whatever standard they need. (I sure miss InBooklet.)
    Again, if it's a copy shop setup, a flattened PDF is the way to go, and perhaps even RGB (many copy shops don't have ripping software).

  • Poor printing quality in InDesign CS4

    Hello,
    In InDesign CS4, I've made a single-page print (page coverd with one photo).
    This photo is a high-resolution image (300 ppi) and is linked with the document. (checked with preflight).
    The print is made on a Xerox Phaser 7760. The result isn't sharp at all. I've printes the same picture started in PhotoShop with a fine result and a print from an HiRes-pdf of the same page. The result was ok as well. The page and the picture weren't colormanaged. I kept the outputprofile, linked at the original file (US Web coated). The files were printedd on a heavy card stock (uncoated). Any idea what went wrong?

    Could be a couple of things.
    You say the image is 300 ppi. At what size? The number that counts is effective resolution, or the resolution at the scaled dimensions, the ones you use to print. You 'll find effective ppi listed in the info or links panels.
    Second, the default sending for image data when printing from InDesign is "optimized supbsampling" which is usually not that good. Chnage to "all" and see if that helps.
