Mac In Design CS3: Crashing when exporting to PDF

I have been trying to get ID to export to pdf for 2 days now.. and it keeps crashing. Has someone else had this problem too? If so can you please tell me how to fix the issue... I need to get this project in and I am at a loss here. Even if someone can export to pdf for me and then I can research this more at a slower place.. you know how it is with deadlines..
Thanks for any help on this

For what it's worth, you can get a fairly decent idea of why InDesign crashed by looking at the stack trace in the crash report logfile. You can either open the most recent file in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporer (named something like "Adobe InDesign CS4_2009-DATE-TIME_MACHINE.crash") use TextEdit or something similar, or when Adobe's crashreporter pops up, click "Crash Data" in the lower-left corner:
And then when the crash report pops up, look for the "Crashed Thread" line to tell you which thread crashed (usually Thread 0). Then scroll down to the section for that thread ("Thread 0 Crashed:") and look at the decoded stack trace (boxed in red at right):
In this case, it's not too illuminating since I forced InDesign to crash while it was idle, so it was sitting in CFRunLoopRunSpecific when it crashed. But my most recent real crash, for instance, looked like this:
Thread 0 Crashed:
0   ???                         01c080d8 _XHNDL_trapback_instruction + 0
1   com.adobe.InDesign.INXCore  34f73598 GetPlugIn + 185048
2   com.adobe.InDesign.INXCore  34f74174 GetPlugIn + 188084
3   PublicLib.dylib             01712db6 CScriptDOMElement::GetChildElements(..$
4   com.adobe.InDesign.INXCore  34f8136c INXStyleInfo::NormalizeStyle(...
5   com.adobe.InDesign.INXCore  34f81ff9 INXStyleInfo::NormalizeStyle(...
6   com.adobe.InDesign.INXCore  34f7c513 INXStyleInfo::NormalizeStyle(...
7   com.adobe.InDesign.INXCore  34f7d45c INXStyleInfo::NormalizeStyle(...
8   com.adobe.InDesign.SaveBack 46b469e3 GetPlugIn + 24403
9   com.adobe.InDesign.SaveBack 46b473ab GetPlugIn + 26907
which was in the middle of an INX export. It seems like it crashed in a call to a 3rd-party plugin (GetPlugin+185048), which was called from within the same plugin, which was called by GetChildElements(), which was called by NormalizeStyle(). So one might suspect that this problem has something to do with both the 3rd-party plugin and the styles in the document. Just an example.
Even if it's inscrutable to you, posting it on the forums will probably help, or at least give people some ideas.

  • Adobe in Design CS6 crashes when exporting to pdf

    I am running MAC OSX version 10.8.5 and every time i am trying to export a pdf from inDesign CS6 is chrashing. And i am doing the same loop again and again with the same results.
    The inDesign file is large (<8gb) and most of the items inside are embended. Thought i did this procedure several times in the past and everything was working fine.
    How can i possibly solve this issue?
    Any ideas why this is happening?

    I am using inDesign to create a product catalogue that consists more than 1000 HQ photos that are linked as psd files. After i am embending each link to the inDesign file in order to have everything in one file and not spending time to find links that are unlinked. In that inDesign file i use 5 master pages. Each product has it's own description bellow. Collecting all texts will be a very time consuming procedure.
    I used to export in pdf previously but now something happened wrong? Might be an update of inDesing?
    When trying to export a single page it does it. When trying to export 50 pages it crashes. Any help please?

  • Indesign crashes when exporting to pdf with .eps and .ai files placed

    Hi everyone,
    I have an Indesign file with 4 placed Illustrator .eps file placed. Whenever I try to export to pdf, it starts to export and then when it reaches a page with a .eps file on it, it hovers for a minute and then Indesign crashes. I decided to save these 4 .eps files as .ai files and replace them. Now when I export to pdf, it gets through the export and a pdf file is created but immediately after, Indesign crashes.
    Is this a sign of corrupt .eps or .ai files or a corrupt Indesign file? All I know is that if I remove all the image files, then the ID file is fine, ie. it exports and ID doesn't crash.
    Is there a way to test either .eps, .ai or Indesign files for corruption, and if they are corrupt is it possible to repair them?
    Appreciate any help offered.

    You haven't said which version of Indesign you are using or other specs, but I would bet that you are using CS2 on an Intel Mac. CS2 runs under Rosetta on an Intel Mac, and I have found that memory problems are often the result of crashes like the ones you have described. My advice is to stay away from EPS files and use AI or PSD, especially if the file is a bitmap or photo. This has eliminated all the crashes that used to occur on my system. As far as the crashes after making PDF files, I don't have a solution other than restarting Indesign after exporting a PDF file or two at a time. The same Rosetta memory problem seems to mess it up for me. Mine would just exit from Indesign with no warning. Hope this helps.

  • InDesign Crashes When Export to PDF - Only When Hyperlinks Checkbox is Enabled

    I think I've read every single posting on the web for InDesign crashing on export, and have tried pretty much all of the solutions with no luck.
    I am exporting a document (a table of contents document) in InDesign to PDF. With any of the export options on EXCEPT the hyperlinks option, it does fine. When I click on the hyperlinks option, it crashes.
    I've recreated this document several times, e.g. exporting to IDML (which also causes it to crash), copying the text out and pasting it into a new document (still crashes)...the problem file is the one titled Intro_Electrical. I've tried replacing it with another document, but it still crashes. I've tried creating a new book, but it still crashes.
    The link to the files is here:
    https://www.box.net/shared/stbtj81v3j
    Normally this would not be a big deal, but I have an ugly feeling that several of my foundation documents are based off of this file. If at all possible, I would like to be able to correct this issue instead of having to turn off the hyperlink option.
    If you can offer any advice for correcting this, I'd really appreciate it. I've been dealing with this problem since CS4 and was hoping that it was something that would be fixed with CS5, but apparently not...or it's just me, I'm not sure

    The table of contents is build ussing TOC module. It's collecting content from 7 book documents. I have almost the same file build in an other language and it's working perfectly. Never had this issue before. I can not find the difference between both documents. I tried to deleting all the chapters and ad them one by one but it's crashing the moment that hyperlinks are used no mater how many chapters from other documents are added. However if the table of contents is made only from one documnet - inside of that document hyperlinks are stable and pdf can be produced not cousing any issues.
    I will try to delete page by page and check if I can discover problem maker. As this is going to be soooooooo time consuming I'm waiting for any other sollution. Anyone?

  • Why does InDesign CS4 crash when exporting to PDF?

    I have a 72 page document and when I export to PDF, it gets to the end and crashes. I can export to pdf in 10 page chunks successfully, but with 30 or more pages it crashes. Could it be temporary file or memory problem. Appreciate any help as I am new to InDesign and need to get this document to print soon.

    This may be of no help to KodiKodi, but it may be of assistance to someone else trying to export large files to PDF.
    I was attempting to export a large CS4 document (800 pages, 200 MB) on a G5 iMac (2.5 GB RAM), to a 3GB single-page PDF file. The export worked in one go.
    Then, for a particular reason, I placed the entire PDF back into a new InDesign document which turned into a 800-page, 400 MB file, double the original size even though it was really the same file but in a different format. I exported that single-page InDesign file to PDF using the spread format, but it wouldn't export in one pass. Wouldn't do it two passes either. I noticed as the export progressed it got slower and slower. The export started at the rate of about 1 page every two seconds, but by about the 400 page mark was down to 1 page every 10 seconds or longer, but would never come to anything.
    So, I tried exporting as 100 page chunks (2-99, 100-199 ...). Took about 2 minutes for the first 100 pages, but I noticed the export rate was slowing down. The second hundred pages took significantly longer than 2 minutes. I found I could get back the export speed if I closed the file after the first hundred, and reopened it (even though it was 400 MB, it would open in a few seconds), and then export the second hundred pages; and so on all through the file.
    For some reason, closing the InDesign file must reset memory allocation or something like that, with the result that exporting to PDF retains it's normal speed.

  • Indesign CS6 just started crashing when exporting to pdf - help?

    I just got Indesign CS6 a few weeks ago and I'm using it on a new macbook pro. I had exported to pdf a few times with no problem. Today, I tried the same thing and Indesign began quitting for no apparent reason. I already tried restarting my computer. Any suggestions?

    Hmmm...maybe I should try that. InDesign causes Acrobat to crash about half the time when I export it out as an Interactive PDF. The only thing is, it has always happened on all my ID files and it happens sporadically. If it crashes, I just do it once or twice again and it works. That would be the only reason I wouldn't think this will be my issue.
    I'll go through the process a few times and see what happens...thanks.

  • InDesign CS5 crashing when exporting to PDF - large image?

    Hi can anyone help?
    I'm working with some rather large files in InDesign - it's a layout for a vinyl banner. It contains one image, created at 1/2 size @ 600dpi - 1500 mm x 850 mm. The file size generating is 1.25GB. I can't save in any format other than tif, psb, raw. I've gone with tif.
    So, I've placed the image above into my document and need to send to the printers to do a resolution test. Unfortunately, when exporting to a high quality PDF, it hangs and InDesign crashes.
    I know the image is probably the cause of the issue, but really not sure what I can do about that?
    Crash report is here - http://pastebin.com/EBNxE8fS
    If anyone can offer any advice on a) how I can save the image as a print acceptable format that DOESN'T create a humongous file size OR b) whether there are any settings i can cgane in InDesign to handle this better?
    Thanks

    Hiya
    Thanks for the reply - and yes, I thought the ppi was too high as well HOWEVER thats the specs advised by the production house. I've managed to get the file to export using a ppi of 500 - so it will print at 250ppi full size - which i think is ok, anything above that and my machine just doesn't want to play.
    I will try and use the zip compression and see what they results in. Unfortunately, becuase of the size and ppi, I'm only given the 3 file format options to save in as above.
    I've explained the situation to my production house and am awaiting their reply. These banners, although will possibly be seen up close, won't in no way be viewed at arms length.
    Thanks for your help

  • Cs5 InDesign crashing when exporting print pdf and markup file?

    We just did our upgrade yesterday from cs4 to cs5. Two things that I have discovered so far that I haven’t been able to figure out.
    I need to create a pdf from a file...I go to export — print pdf — this QUITS (if I do the interactive pdf it works okay but I need a print ready one. I had to print a postscript file  — then distill it in acrobat — so far, knock on wood that works but is time consuming.
    I tried to export a — InDesign MarkUp file (imdl), the new interchange to go from 5 to 4 — I was thinking okay...I will just take the cs5 file back to cs4 and make the pdf there but when making the imdl file to open in cs4 I also crash.
    any help would be appreciated!

    I had a major problem with exporting CS5 Indesign interactive PDF doc (270pgs) it would crash reasonbly consistently, other times behave OK?  After many hours reading forums, and Adobe help desk I found my own work-around which I want to share (as I couldn't believe it was so simple and worked!)
    OK..so the doc has navigation buttons and hyperlinks all the way through....I Exported half the doc.  Then the other half.  Then I combined in Acrobat. 
    There it is....simple and boy am I happy now!!

  • Indesign CS4 crashes when exporting to pdf

    Everytime I try to save as/export to pdf, Indesign just crashes. Instead I have to print to the pdf printer, then rename the saved file (untitled.indd.pdf --> untitled.pdf). Does anyone know what the issue might be/how to fix it? Thanks!

    Could be a lot of things.  Can you export anything to PDF or is it just one document?  If you can't export anything try trashing your preferences, and try exporting a new document.  If it's just one document make a copy of it, then delete half the pages, try again, and so on to narrow it down to a page or object that is causing the crash.
