Unable to display a PDF image on the page - Mac 10.6

Hi,
Running an iMac with 10.6.8 and Indesign 5.0.4. Just wanting to export a PDF as per usual via File > Export function. However, I keep getting the error message, "Unable to display a PDF image on the page'. No idea what this is and have never seen this error before. The only info on the internet reveals error code 0x2511(9489).
I've deleted prefs, closed down and re-opened Indesign and even restarted the computer. I've also re-linked the images contained in the document and even created a new document and set it up the same, but still the same problem. Investigating further, other Indesign documents still export properly.
The only ones that don't export are 2 documents, both giving this same error message. Both documents are ones where a client has sent a PDF, I've imported into two of these into an 2-page A4 Indesign document (each PDF is 48MB each) and then just added a text layer (using Times) which is properly installed on the computer. I basically have to 'update' course dates for the client and add PDF to the website, all very basic.
I've tried importing a jpeg and other PDFs into the file (replacing the existing ones) and they export fine.
All my software is legal and I've exported this document before now in exactly the same File > Export without any problems (under 10.5 and 10.6).
OK... I've just imported the offending PDFs into Acrobat, optimized and shrunk the file size, re-imported back to Indesign and the PDF export works fine. So it seems InDesign / PDF Export doesn't like large imported PDFs? I think they were originally exported from Publisher, so maybe that's the problem or a file conflict somehow.
Any ideas on the culprit? I've googled it, searched these forums and Apple discussions and haven't found anything. Although I've found a workaround, I do get large files to import and then export. Thanks for any help
Steve

It does sound like a problem with the original PDF files the client sent you. You can check how they were made in Acrobat Pro from the Additional MetaData button on the Description tab of the document properties dialog. It will be under Advanced at the bottom of the list when the metadata opens.
You might be able to salvage them by running the optimzer and not changing the size, or just doing a Save As in Acrobat.

  • Display word/pdf document in the HTML region or report

    Hi,
    How to display blob content stored in a table in HTML region or report region.
    I already have a process to display the image content.
    But my question here is how to display word/pdf document within the html region so that the user can read the document without downloading it.
    Any suggestions/solutions would be of great help.
    Thanks in advance...
    Thanks,
    Ramesh P.

    I was dead wrong.
    The display of images from BLOB is a special case because APEX provides a Display Image item type.
    Moreover, HTP/HTF packages also do not provide for handling of BLOB content. So AJAX cannot be used.
    Which implies that the only way to get binary content, other than images, is with the use of a WPG_DOCLOAD.DOWNLOAD_FILE call.
    This in turn implies that it may not be feasible to "inject" the BLOB into an exist HTML DOM in the Browser.

    How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
    Solution
    Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
    here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
    Note: [OraHome] is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
    Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
    [OraHome] with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
    copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
    1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
      and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
    2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
      [JacobStage] is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
         cd [JacobStage]
         copy jacob.jar [OraHome]\forms\java\.
         copy jacob.dll [OraHome]\forms\webutil\.
      The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
    3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
      Open a DOS command prompt.
      Add [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
         set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
      Sign the files, and check the output for success:
         [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
         [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\jacob.jar
    4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
      you may skip this step. Otherwise,
      Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
      connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
      for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
      Open [OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
      out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
      errors.
      Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
         CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
         DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
         TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
         GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
         CONNECT webutil/[password]@[connectstring]
         @[OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
         -- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
         CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
      Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
         grant execute on webutil_db to public;
    5) Modify [OraHome]\forms\server\default.env, and append [OraHome]\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
      to the CLASSPATH entry.
    6) Start the OC4J instance
    7) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
      Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
      It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in
      Note 303682.1
      If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
      full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
    8) Create a new FMB.
      Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
      There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
      Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
      Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
             NULL;
      to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
      Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
             show_webutil_information (TRUE);
      in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
      Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
    9) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
      the "Application Server URL" is empty.
      Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
          http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
    10) Run your form.sarah

  • How to display multi-channel image in the 'proxy'?

    There're many examples to show how to display composite channels in the 'proxy'. But I don't find any example to show how to display multi-channel image in the 'proxy'. I found that I can use PSPixelOverlay to display alpha channel data like this:
    int nSpotChannel = gChannelCount - 4;
    PSPixelOverlay* overlay = new PSPixelOverlay[nSpotChannel];
    for(int i = 0; i < nSpotChannel; i++){
           if( i != (nSpotChannel - 1) )
                 overlay[i].next = overlay + i + 1;
           else
           overlay[i].next = NULL;
           overlay[i].data = gChannelData + (4 + i) * nPlaneBytes;
           overlay[i].rowBytes = gProxyRect.Width() * gDocDesc->depth / 8;
           overlay[i].colBytes = 1;
           overlay[i].r  = 230;
           overlay[i].g = 161;
           overlay[i].b = 174;
           overlay[i].opacity = 255;
           overlay[i].overlayAlgorithm = kStandardAlphaOverlay;
    pixels.pixelOverlays = overlay;
    Then, Seeing red part, it will trigger a new problem, that is how to get the color value of the alpha channel by plung-in itself? It seems that no channel color value info is in FilterRecord.
    If you have other solution, please tell me. Many thanks!

    This is what I've been doing - was just curious if there was a way to see a more cohesive image.
    If the individual EQ plugins are in fact the answer, is there any way to smooth how the Analyzer displays? The image I posted above, all of the tonal curves are very smooth. The analyzer tool shows a lot of peaks and valleys within the overall curve and it's hard to pinpoint each instrument's "sweet spot." Vocals for example are very hard to spot.

  • Protected articles display as preview images without the Large Purchase Pane

    I created a folio with article preview in v27. When I open it right after the preview content completes downloading, everything works as expected.
    However, when I open the same preview folio afterwards, the protected articles display as preview images and the Large Purchase Pane disappears.
    Anyone have an idea what might cause this problem?

    It turned out that I did not set up the subscription purchase on iTunes Connect, so the subscription button disappears from the purchase panel.

  • Creating PDFs using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and can only see the first 10 pages in PDF even when the page numbers on bottom state 10 of 13 (or any number greater than 10).

    PDFs create great, unless they should be over 10 pages and then it appears the data was converted to PDF by viewing the page numbers at the bottom of the PDF but you can only view the first 10 pages in the pdf file.

    Hi stephaniec0103,
    Could you please let me know what exact dot version of Acrobat 9 and OS you are using.
    Have you tried repairing Acrobat from the Help menu?
    Acrobat 9 is an older version and incompatible with new OS versions, so I would suggest you to try using Acrobat XI (latest version) and check for the same.
    You may download a 30-day free trial version of Acrobat from the below mentioned link:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Can I set up safari to automatically open PDF documents in the pages app?

    Can I set up safari to automatically open PDF documents from the internet into the pages app?

    No - and you can't open pdf files in the Pages app on the iPad anyway as far as I know. You can export a Pages file as a pdf but you can't open them in Pages.

  • When working in my photo album in iphoto my photos are replaced with a grey box and an !. I can't see the image on the page.

    Lately when I am working in my photo album in iPhoto my images are replaced with a grey box and an ! . I can't see the images on the page. All my photos are high quality.  What am I doing wrong?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    I tightened all HD screws and it didn't help. With the machine running and side of the case off, I physically stopped both the video card fan and the front case fan with my finger for a couple seconds and the noise continued. I also took all hard drives out one by one and rebooted each time. Again, the noise continued until I took out the Mac HD in Bay 1, rebooted, and I had a very quiet, silent machine. The issue is the hard drive in bay 1 that shipped with the computer, it's without a doubt causing the hum/woosh sound. I still need to know if I can safely swap the Mac HD from bay 1 to bay 4 without any issues to the operating system. I would like to try that to see if it dampens the noise but I also want to make sure this swap won't screw up my machine at all.

  • Indesign CC does not display linked PDF image on screen

    On Mac1 (10.6.8) When I imported a PDF file into Indesign CC 9.1 as a linked image - the image would come in as usual, however the image would not appear on my screen. Only a blank page box.
    I can see the thumbnail image of the imported PDF in the links palette correctly.
    However, on my page it appears as a blank box.
    Selected Hi-res preview, and still it appears as a blank box.
    I export to PDF, and the image is there as it should be on the exported PDF.
    I tried the same image on Mac2 (10.8.3) with Indesign CC.
    The imported image appears correctly on the page. (no blank box)
    I saved that file and opened it on Mac1 that is having the problem displaying the image.
    Mac1 again does not display the image, instead it is a blank box.
    Tried the same image import in Cs6. No issue on either mac1 or mac2
    What could be causing the imported PDF not to display on the page in Indesign CC?
    Has anyone else come across this problem?

    If you are trying to print to the Adobe PDF printer and that fails, try using print-to-file. Then open the file in Distiller. If the result is the desired PDF, then check for AcroTray running as a background application. Sometimes it has to be restarted, but should be in your startup (you can check msconfig from the start>run menu to see if AcroTray is there).

  • Can I upload a PDF image to the Book,  instead of a JPEF/RAW/TIFFs etc???

    Hi,
    I have an urgent question.
    I have a high resolution Google Earth shot that I added a numeric guide to with illustrator for certain buildings etc.
    The text that sits on top of the image is essential, and I saved it as a PDF.
    I was hoping to have this PDF as a full page spread on one of the pages of the Aperture Book thing but it seemingly won't let me add a PDF file in the vault.
    Does anyone know a way round this? Is it possible to have some of your images as PDFs? I'd rather do it this way instead of rasterizing it at 300dpi because PDFs still make the texts sharper and cleaner, no matter what resolution you save at sometimes.

    as quick workaround you can alway take a shot of it by using the keyboard combination:
    Shift + Command + 4
    this will make the arrow turn into a bulls-eye so you can click drag your selection. this will make a photo of your selection as a .png and place it on the desktop
    Is it possible to have some of your images as PDFs?
    "File Formats You Can Import into the Library
    Aperture is a QuickTime-compatible application, so it supports standard
    QuickTime-compatible still-image file formats, as well as some other file formats
    and file types. The following file types and formats can be imported:
    "What Are Masters?
    A digital master file, or master, is the original RAW, GIF, JPEG, JPEG2000, PSD (8 and 16bit), TIFF (8 and 16bit), DNG, or PNG file"
    that said, you can import them either way but you might have trouble with them.
    what I do is take a shot of it or find the source file and import it.
    if you do import a .pdf - sometimes a .pdf will stall aperture and it'll see the .pdf as a corrupt image which you'll have to then find and delete from the library
    I'd rather do it this way instead of rasterizing it at 300dpi because PDFs still make the texts sharper and cleaner, no matter what resolution you save at sometimes.
    if it's not too much text maybe you can recreate it in the book or roundtrip the photo into an external editor like photoshop
