InDesign CS5.5 - Adobe Acrobat export (incorrect master pages and crop marks)

Hi, I've recently experienced a couple of anomalies when exporting books from InDesign to PDF.
The first issue was that, on seemingly random pages of the book, the exporter suddenly seemed to interpret the crop marks incorrectly. The book pages would go something like: left, right, left, right, right, left, right.
The second issue was that the pdf didn't display the correct master page on one page of the book. The InDesign file has sections with slight grey backgrounds to separate particular sections of the book. One of the pages in one of those grey sections just appears as white (the text remained unharmed) in the pdf though the InDesign file is as it should be.
Any suggestions?

First issue: No pages are missing, the crop marks indicating whether right or left go out of l,r,l,r order.
Second issue: There is a background fill on the master page. I just checked and the attribute is fine. What's strange is that the first time I made this pdf and sent the book to print, this didn't happen. Now that I've reexported for a second print of the book it happened (the master pages haven't been touched between prints and the same print settings have been used). Is it possible that the exporter can just mess up?

  • InDesign CS5 shuts down when inserting left master page.

    InDesign CS5 is shutting down whenever I attempt to insert a page from a master. I am attempting to insert a verso page before a spread. Normally it would bump the current verso to recto and the recto down to the next spread. (I need to add many blank versos in a document that has facing pages.) I have the latest update (7.0.3), and have read all previous posts on similar issues. Have tried several fixes (including deleting columns on the master pages which I have done, to no avail.) and am about ready to save all of my files back down to CS4 just so I can get the work done. Is there a remedy to this bug yet? I was hoping that 7.0.3 fixed it, (and the random elements that appear from master pages on documents that have been converted from CS4), but that doesn't seem to be the case.
    Is anyone else having this trouble? Adobe? are you working on this problem? Thanks for any help.

    We're seeing more reports of trouble with leagcy files in CS5 than any previous version. I'm now advocating that files you intend to convert should be exported to .inx or .idml from the original version, then open that instead of the .indd in CS5.
    And if this pops up again with a file that you can't get to work with a simple export to .idml for CS5, try opening that in CS4 and re-export to .inx, then move that back to CS5. you never know.

  • InDesign CS5 PDF - Failure to Export Vector Elements

    Recently, we have had two separate incidents where the creation of an InDesign CS5 PDF failed to export certain vector art elements. The elements are not shared between jobs and the files were physically created in different locations (entirely different servers) within our organization. The elements are pdf and eps and appropriately linked. On the PDF, we're not even getting a low-res version of the artwork. When looking at the PDF in NEO, the containing box of the graphic is not present. One the most frustrating aspects of this is we haven't been able to repeat error in order to fix the error. The next time (or 50 times) the document is exported, the vector art is fine.
    Has anyone else had a similar issue?

    @rickphot
    I've had this same problem just today. I have a 64 page INDD that when exported to PDF (print) from CS5 (with no elements on my page set to "non printing elements"), only some of my vector shapes get exported. They are all merely 0.25pt Black Lines used to direct a reader from a comment to a matching illustration, and some pages exported them just fine, and some other pages will not work. I've tried moving them to a new layer, cutting and pasting in place, copying and pasting in place, changing the transparency modes, etc...nothing works...EXCEPT to just redraw the lines.
    @Bob Levine
    Do you work for Adobe? Can you offer any advice to this problem yet?
    Thanks all. Glad I'm not the ONLY one going crazy with a bizzare problem like this one.

  • Illustator Image placed in InDesign CS5 moving position when Exporting to PDF

    I have a Illustrator image placed on a master page and when I go to export to a PDF  the image moves to the left about 2 inches.
    The same image on another master page outputs correctly.
    I copied and pasted it from the page that is working correctly to this master page, but it still moves.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Are you fully patched?
    Can you make this happen with a fresh file and different graphic?
    Tried the fix corrupt files by expoting to inx or idml?

  • Adobe Acrobat  has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    Just recently when I launch Acrobat X after about 10 seconds I get this error, "Adobe Acrobat has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."  I can create PDFs and open PDFs for 10 seconds.  I've done a repair of Acrobat,  I tried a new user account, and  I disbled all my start up items.  I still get the same error  I have no clue what to do.  Any suggestions?
    J.R.

    OK Will,  I pressed ctrl + Shift and double clicked on a desktop icon of a file.pdf I had saved there and it opened and is still open.  By not pressing ctrl + Shift the file opens then closes with that error in about10 seconds.
    So now, what has that proved to us is the issue?  Doesn't that load Acrobat without all the extensions?
    This issue just started a few days ago and all I remember installing on my computer were some Window's updates.

    Hello,
    I would like to inform you that not all the browsers and online PDF readers support copying text from a PDF. If you have opened the PDF online, please download PDF file to your computer and then open the file in Adobe Reader.
    Please share a screenshot if the issue still persists.

    I have tried to purchase Adobe Acrobat Professional XI this morning and payment (AED 1983.53) has been taken, I received a message stating there was/is a problem processing my order and that I should contact your customer service team in UAE.  Having tried this, I was met with a recorded message, in Arabic, and no options to speak to anyone.  I have found this process extremely frustrating and poor on your behalf.  Not providing any options to speak to an Adobe representative is equally annoying.  Please get back to me ASAP, as I need to use the product immediately.

    CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back.  So probably won't run on modern operating systems.  If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

  • I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. Mac users can no longer read the page numbers but pc users can.

    I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. As of about 2 weeks ago the mac users can no longer read the page numbers they get a font error message and see only -- where the page information should be. The pc users do not have this same problem. When I replace our regular font (URW Grotesk) with a system font (Verdana) everyone is able to read the page numbers. This is a new issues, I have been creating these documents in the same way for years without a problem. I have been on hold and on and off calls for the last two hours, I keep getting hung up on once I find someone in adobe support to talk to!

    Hi KnoopL,
    Are the Mac users using Preview to view the pdfs or Adobe Reader?

  • Rearrange pages when printing adobe form with multiple master pages

    Hello!
    Good day to you all.
    I have an issue in regards with printing my adobe form with multiple Master pages. I have 4 master pages:
    1st master page: a
    2nd master page: b
    3rd master page: c
    4th master page: d
    all with different headers and footers all having the same contents (items). I don't have issue with one page content (it just prints 4 pages with different headers and footers). The issue comes out once the items exceed 1 page.
    What happens is that the preview/print shows (example: 3-page item)
    a1-a2-a3-b1-b2-b3-c1-c2-c3-d1-d2-d3.
    What i need is to print these such that all 1st pages of the 4 master page to be printed first, then all the 2nd pages, then all 3rd pages. Please see below:
    a1-b1-c1-d1-a2-b2-c2-d2-a3-b3-c3-d3
    This is because we will be using carbonless copy paper during printing and it's possible that it would be printed on batch jobs. Please suggest ways to do this.
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Best Regards,
    abap_peer_dangs

    Hi,
    Is that requirement of multiple pages as groups only at the time of print or at print preview also...?
    Can you have a Print button on this screen or you should be using the Abobe toolbar's Print button..?
    Well if this on a click of a button in the form and the requirement is only at the time of print and not on print prieview I can have a JS script which does this...
    Let me know if this suffice, I can try with a local file and send you the script.
    @ Chris: I didn't understand what do you mean by reported, I was eager to hear and learn a solution from you may be a new approach which I am not aware of ...?
    Cheers,
    Sai.

    Unfortunately no, It says "Adobe not responding" as well when I try to open a pdf. It has done this a few times where I had to uninstall and reinstall. Also, Illustrator tells me to uninstall/reinstall as well.

  • How to I export a master page?

    I see the option to import a master page, but no option to export one. How does one export master pages from a project?

    Hi there
    To my knowledge there is no method offered to export a Master Page. At least, not from the UI.
    When you create a Master Page, you are creating a file bearing the extension of .HTT. When you are viewing the Master Pages pod, try right-clicking one of the .HTT files you see. You should see an option on the context menu labeled "Explore". Click that option and Windows Explorer should open at the file location where your Master Page files are. Note that you will see other project files there as well. Master Pages are co-mingled with other files in the project.
    Locate the .HTT file of choice and copy it where you wish.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Using Adobe Muse to create master pages

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use Adobe Muse to create master pages for Sharepoint 2013?
    The Muse product creates the Javascript, css and html files, with the images etc.
    The Muse product looks ideal to create the master pages with no coding required.
    Nick

    For SharePoint 2013, yes you could absolutely use this tool to create your HTML (this post is in the 2010 forum, so just making sure).  In SP 2013 you can use the new Design Manager to upload HTML which then gets converted to a .NET Master Page. 
    So long as Muse turns out valid HTML, you should not have an issue.

  • Master Pages and Buttons - Bug and Fix Request

    I think I'm the only person in the world who has encountered this bug, and I've filled out the bug report form on the Adobe site twice in a couple of years.
    Just wondering if anyone else has encountered it, and I'm curious to know if it still exists in Creative Cloud (I'm still using CS6).  However, I think this bug appeared in CS5.5, prior to that, results were as one would expect.
    So here's the gist of it . . .
    Prior versions of InDesign allowed you to put a button on a Master Page, then upon export to PDF the page number would be appended to the button name. CS6 appends random numbers to the button names on export.  (It seems the number appended to the button names is the instance count of the button in question.)  This problem becomes incrementally worse if you use different combinations of master pages, some with buttons and some without.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    Create a button, named "menubutton" and add it to a master page
    Apply that master page to 10 pages.
    Export the ID file to PDF enabling buttons and interactive elements.
    Check the button names in the PDF from Acrobat
    Results:
    In CS6, this now appends the page number, and an arbitrary number to the button name.  CS6 results are like such: "menubutton.Page 1", "menubutton.Page 21", "menubutton.Page 32", "menubutton.Page 43", etc.
    Expected results:
    The button names should become "menubutton.Page 1", "menubutton.Page 2", "menubutton.Page 2" , etc. (As in prior ID versions)
    The problem becomes a lot worse when you use combinations of master pages . . . for example:
    Master A – contains one button – menubutton
    Master B – contains one button – otherbutton
    Apply those masters to alternating pages, like below and export to PDF, this will be the crazy result:
    Page 1 (A)        “menubutton.Page 1”
    Page 2 (B)        “otherbutton.Page 2”
    Page 3 (A)        “menubutton.Page 31”
    Page 4 (B)        “otherbutton.Page 41”
    Page 5 (A)        “menubutton.Page 52”
    Page 6 (B)        “otherbutton.Page 62”
    Page 7 (A)        “menubutton.Page 73”
    Page 8 (B)        “otherbutton.Page 83”
    So, can anyone else attest to this?  It makes scripting buttons incredibly hard!

    Hi johnjohn123,
    1. I would definitely make a copy of the EnterpriseWiki.aspx page layout and make changes to that. You can then set your pages to use your custom page layout. Typically, I provision these via Visual Studio and a module for uploading them to the SharePoint
    master page gallery.
    2. For the master page, the html version is new to 2013 and is meant to simplify branding, however, it's not required. You can still work within master pages and provision those via features if you'd like. The key is to create your own master page and never
    modify the default.
    If you need code samples for any of the above, let me know and I can supply it.
