Problems with exporting PDF for Print

Hi all,
I would appreciate some help with exporting my indesign document (using v9.2, 32x) to PDF for print.
I have a number of images and text objects in the document and all links seem to be in place.
However when I come to export the document to print PDF, the PDF file is corrupted and has a size of 0 bytes. The export worked fine earlier when I did a test, but since I have added a few more images, everytime I go to export it, it will not work!!
I would be grateful for any help with this, it is infuriating when I have deadlines to meet! Many thanks.

I'd try a 'save as idml', reopen, then export.
If no go, rename your images folder (if separate) to break the links to images, and try exporting just the previews (you can't use this output, but it will tell you if there's a bad original image file). If a bad image, open images and re-save.
If still no go, try a full computer shut down and try again...

  • Pdf reader X has problems with small pdf and printer with post script driver

    Hi friends.
    I have installed new Reader X and then i saw that, when i print a very small pdf with about 50 kb and i print it on a Laserjet 4000 printer the printer has problem with the amount of data that reader 10 produces.
    When i install a Postscript driver for the printer my computer makes up to 3.5MB printer data from a 50kb pdf.
    When i install a PCL driver for the printer my computer makes only 350kb from the same 50kb pdf file!!!!
    When i install Reader 9.3 the 50kb file becomes also only 350kb on the printer with post script driver, and i can print without problems also.
    my printer has 8 MB Ram and that should be enough for 3.5MB printer data.
    But when i print the pdf with 1 side only, the printer created a side who is only filled with 50% of the text, then there comes out a second page with the message.....not enough memory in the printer.
    i can not change the postscript driver to a pcl driver cause our ERP System can not handle printer with PCL drivers.
    Can someone help me please.........are there settings in Reader X who can solve my problem ???
    Thank you very much for help!

  • Problem with exporting PDF from Indesign CS6

    Hi,
    I recently registered & installed CS6 on my computer (Last week!), and I seem to have problems with Indesign, which is the main reason for my buying the product.
    The problem is that whenever I try to save & export a file as PDF from Indesign I get an error message (See attached file).
    The files are saved with 0KB size, and so the Acrobat reader can't open them for preview.
    This really interrupts my work, and backs up the entire comapny schedule.
    I already tried updating, and uninstalling&re-installing the suite - but no luck.
    Any help would be appreciated, and we need it ASAP.
    Thanks in advance,

    Without proper system info and details about what PDF settings you actually used and how and where you save your files, nobody can say anything. You could simply be doing something silly like using PDF/A, but trying to enforce high-res pictures or whatever. In any case, ask in the ID forum.

  • Help with exporting file for print

    Hello,
    I'm trying to print a banner through Spoonflower (a site that lets you print on fabric). They recommend an RGB, 150dpi file. (max 58" wide x 288" long, 40MB) and accept a wide variety of file types (ai, svg, eps, tif, png, jpeg).
    My banner is rather large, at 50" wide x 236" long. The artwork was created in Illustrator, and consists of 2 colors with flat, line illustrations; no gradients, linked files, etc. File is about 1 MB. Because of Illustrator's canvas size limitations (227.5"), I set up my final artwork at half size (25" x 118" @ 300dpi) with the intention of scaling it in Photoshop to full size @ 150dpi.
    Unfortunately, when I try to open the AI, EPS or PDF file directly in Photoshop, it compresses the artwork to 22.6" x 106.67" (from 25" x 118" - no idea why) and this throws off the layout of the banner, which is designed to fit a very specific framework. It means my artwork, when at 150dpi, is only 45" wide (I need it to be 50").
    Next I tried exporting as a jpeg but keep getting the following error: 'The file could not be written due to error.'
    When trying to export to PNG, I get this error: 'Could not complete the operation. The rasterized imag exceeded the maximum bounds for saving to the PNG format'.
    I am at a total loss for how to proceed and would be so terribly appreciative if anyone could provide some insight...perhaps how to prevent the files from shrinking when rasterized by PS, how to actually save as a jpeg, png, or just a better way to go about this whole process altogether. What am I missing??
    And of course, I needed to send this to the printer today to meet deadline...sigh.

    If the site accepts .ai or .eps files why are you trying to move to a raster format at all?

  • InDesign CC: unable to export PDF for Print

  • Problem with exporting SWF for web - missing last 5 seconds

    Hello everybody.
    I´ve got this problem that when I render my animation everythings OK, but when I try to export it as SWF it doesn´t include last 5 seconds. There are only shapes & solids used in the animation (masks, scale etc.) so pretty simple stuff. Animation has 35 sec. Is there any time limit or do you have any ideas how to fix this? I checked rasterize all unsupported features that did nothing.
    AE CS6
    Thank´s a lot,
    Marek

    This could be a bunch of things. It could be that the last five seconds are using an effect that is not supported so it needs to be rasterized. Frankly, AE is a lousy, let me repeat that, lousy tool for creating SWF files. Your best option is to render a video compressed in the H.261 format and use Flash to embed that video in your SWF file. The SWF will load quicker, be smaller, play on more devices and be more professional. The project will still not be mobile compatible which, now days, means you're losing 60% of your audience.

  • Exporting PDF to Print - Zero Bytes

    Hi All,
    I am trying to export my brochure design 104 pages. A4 size. It is a furniture brochure so you can imagine there are hundreds of linked files.
    Once I have selected Export PDF for Print as I usually do with my flyers and posters, I select the option I believe I need, including the output for bleed markings .etc. but the file does not seem to be exporting.
    When I locate my exported PDF in Finder (Mac) Explorer (Windows) it shows the file there but with Zero bytes as the size, I try to open the file and it says the file is empty.
    Has anyone seen this before or am I doing anything wrong?
    Does InDesign show the progess of the Export? I cannot see anything in InDesign but I'm thinking it could take some time to Export as the file must be very large.
    Any help and advise is appreciated as always
    Kind Regards
    James

  • Why do I get white lines surrounding transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Vers

    Why do I get white lines surrounding PSD or Tiff transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Version 9.2?
    I recently upgraded creative suite - now I am having issues with white lines surrounding any tiffs or PSDs when exporting for print.
    I initially thought it was an acrobat viewer problem, but it seems to be effecting print. Please let me know if anyone knows the answer to this problem. thanks!

    PDF settings? Flattener settings? Overprint and trapping settings? You need to be much more specific. Eitehr way, ask in the ID forum.

    Thanks Bob, to date I have simply used the High Quality Print default, which is actually Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) - I have never had issues before - until now when I upgraded my software..

  • Export in pdf for print inexistant border

    Hello,
    I try to export an Indesign CS5 file in pdf for print.
    If I choose PDF1.4, X-4:2008  I have a dark rectangle like a shadow under several text. I thought it was a transparency problem but I now set up the transparency to High Quality.
    If I choose PDF1.3  I don't have the shadow issue anymore but a white border around the text and images which had been rotated.
    I'm not a specialist in pdf export for print so I don't know what is the best settings and how to fix my issue.
    Can it be only a screen issue and be ok for the print??
    Cheers,
    Elodie

    I apologize for not getting to this sooner.
    How are you viewing the PDF that shows the discoloration? Acrobat or some other application? Is overprint preview turned on in Acrobat?
    This is definitely transparency related. When you choose PDF 1.3 you are flattening the transparency and the white lines you see are called "stitching." Thay ae a dispaly artifact in Acrobat (they'll disappear if you turn off smoothing), and though they may show in a low-resolution digital print, they are usually not apparent in high-resolution output from a press.

  • Exporting a PDF for print, the PDF does not show a shadow effect

    I have a drop shadow effect on an EPS object and some type that does not appear when I export the file as a PDF for print. The settings I have it set to are: Adobe PDF Preset: "High Quality Print", Interactive Elements: "Include Appearance", and Color Conversion: "No Color Conversion".
    If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it!

    Will,
    Yes, I set my transparency blending space to CMYK. It didn't work.
    I don't have a particular reason I am using an EPS over AI other than that's the type of file this object (logo) was saved as. I can get an AI. Is there any particular reason you recommend not using an EPS?

  • Okay to resize links in IDCS3 if exporting as PDF for print?

    I'd like to know if it's okay to resize linked images (tifs, psds) in InDesign CS3 when the ID file will be exported to a press-quality pdf for printing. I size my images to desired dimensions and ppi in PSD before placing them as links in InDesign, but I have been told that this is not necessary if the ID file will be converted to PDF for print. I need any advice on best practice for this! Thanks in advance. Karen

    For well over 90% of the cases I'd say you're wasting your time doing
    that in Photoshop. If the scaling is dramatic and it's a very high end
    job you might want to do it in Photoshop to adjust the sharpening, but
    otherwise, don't bother.

    I'm having similar problems with an HP OfficeJet 6500. One suggestion that improved the situation, but did not totally solve the problem, was to select "OfficeJet Pro L7700" for its drivers.
    One other suggestion is to turn off the printer, then simultaneously hold down the "#" and "9" keys and turn the printer back on. This hot key seems to reset the printer to factory defaults, allowing you to set things up anew.
    Finally, kvetch to HP. Their networking software clearly has problems in its relationship to OSX, but nobody on either side seems motivated to bring in a good therapist.
