Acrobat DC upgrade breaks CS6 PDF export?

Installed Acrobat DC and now my CS6 PDF export function is greyed out. Happens with old and new files. CC 2014 works fine. CS6 has been working fine yesterday up until the point I installed Acrobat DC. Anyone else have this issue? I still have clients who insist on CS6 so this is sort of a pain.
Working on a new Mac Pro.
I asked this over on the Acrobat forum but they said the two issues should not be involved.

There's nothing that an Acrobat installation could do that would affect InDesign functions.
@Steve – I have seen one case where a not finished (stuck) installation process of Acrobat Pro CS6 on Windows removed all default PDF export joboptions files for InDesign CS6 as well. However, something more drastic like a grayed out export function in InDesign CS6 seems not to be realistic.
I'm glad it was false alarm.

Since upgrading to CS6, fxg exports from flash are missing elements, is there a fix?

With CS5.5 I could export vector art from Flash and open it in illustrator. Now with CS6 I cant do that without breaking everything apart if flash first. This can cause masks to be lost and is a lenghty and complicated process. If I don't break everthing apart not all the layers are imported on the fxg when opened in illustrator. Does anyone know of a solution for this?

Above is a screenshot of artwork in flash. Below is the result after exporting an fxg and opening in illustrator.
It does work if I go into the group and then export (or break everything apaprt so they are no longer in groups). Some files I work with have loads of grouped elements with layer masks making it very complex to break apart and export as fxg. Previous versions allowed export in one step, I could then unlock layers or show hidden layers in the illustrator file. The masks would be imported too.

INDS CS6 - PDF Export at High Quality issues with Gradients.

Hi all,
We're noticing that on our PDF exports from our INDS instances we're seeing that gradients are showing up when the PDF is printed. You can visibly see the gradient lines. We have our INDS set for 'High Quality Print' and upon viewing the PDF in your browser it looks fine but when you print the PDF you can see the gradient lines.
We've exported the same IDML's directly from InDesign to PDF to Print and the gradients do not show up.
Is there a ExportPDF option we are missing on the InDesign Server that I need to tweak to make these gradients smooth and disappear?

Marvin,
The TIF file in this example consists of a repeating sequence of adjacent columns in the following configuration: 8 white pixel, 7 black pixels.
This pattern repeats across the width of the file.
I've attached one of these files below. Please try to view it at 4000% when placed in InDesign.
(Please note that this problem also occurs with photographic images as well).
If I then crop the attached file in Photoshop, re-save and place in InDesign it will preview correctly at 4000%.
If I leave it at its original dimensions, but convert to a Gray TIF, it will preview correctly -for a while, but eventually also become "corrupted". As I mentioned in my initial post, I've had to use a Grey TIF to get the placement correct, then replace with the CMYK TIF version. Saving with and without LZW compression makes no difference. The fact that the Grey version works temporarily has got me confused. As it happens, for the moment anyway, a narrow width file in CMYK is previewing okay, but then in the past I've used TIFs just ~100 mm wide and had the same problem.

Acrobat DC breaks InDesign CS6 PDF export?

With Acrobat DC installed it seems as if I can no longer export a PDF out of InDesign CS6. The export function under the menu is greyed out. It works fine with InDesign CC 2014 but not with CS6. I still have customers that require me to use CS6. Anybody else have this issue?

They SHOULD not be connected. InDesogn export doesn't use Acrobat, and doesn't need it. I suspect a different problem. I don't know what but I have seen mentions of it in the InDesign forum.

Page Break in PDF export

Hi all,
I have a developed a Web template for export to PDF file and I would like to know if there is a way to add page breaks so when I export my original WEB temp though the Export command to PDF I would be able to preak the pages where I want to.
Regards,
Theodore

Hi,
SAP standard Webtemplate Export does not support Pagebreaks.
Also CSS-Styles Atributes PAGE-BREAK-BEFORE: Always will not work because SAP is ingnoring custom HTML. Only way is to consider 3rd Party Tools which will export the HTML of the executed Webtemplate to PDF or other formats.
In Report Designer you will be able to include Page breaks on Group level changes of BI data.

Illustrator cs6: pdf export with hks colours creates b/w pdf...

hello forum,
i have a illu cs6 document with 2 hks colours and black. with »save as...« i want to create a printable pdf. but this pdf only has black-and-white, no hks, no colours.
then i changed the hks to cmyk. now the export as pdf works with the cmyk colours.
help, please, whats wrong?

Try using the PDF/x-4 preset. If an all CMYK PDF is required, set the Color Conversion to Convert to Destination, and the Destination to Document CMYK.

CS6 pdf export problem

Hi,
I'm working on an 80pg magazine and I usually have to export certain pages on their own for client approval. It seems in CS6 I am unable to choose specific pages? in the PAGES input I chose 'Range' 'Custom V' then 'pages'.. but I never get anywhere that comes up to input a page number. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated!

I can't recall exactly where I read this, but my memory is that when you have alternate layouts, you need to use this syntax for a page range:
It's a form of section numbering.

InDesign CS6 PDF export problem

I have tried to export to print-ready PDF a fairly straightforward A4 advet. There's nothing complicated or unusual about the file - its based on ones we've successfully done previously.
However, this one give me a 'FAiled to Export the PDF file' error - but nothing more. I have tried restarting the Mac but to no avail.
Any ideas?

What Mac? What PDF settings? What fonts, paragraph styles, linked files, other fancies? You will have to provide a lot more info. in any case, ask in the ID forum...

InDesgin 6 PDF Export, File size weirdness

Hello
ive been exporting Docs from inDesign CS5 for ages
simple enough - hi quality print, no downsampling, jpeg-hi quality,
PDF usually comes out about 4MB
So i open the same files in inDesign 6
set my PDF export to above settings, but my PDFs are 14MB
ive been tweaking CS6 PDF export settings for ages now.
its always too big unless i go way overboard with downsampling
then i get a small (but crappy) PDF
any help advice appreciated....

@Arinkah:
Quite a bit of work has been done for InDesign 8 (CS6) to further optimize the generated PDF compared with earlier versions of InDesign, especially if you have graphics on master pages.
@Megumi2:
Unless we have the actual sample files to look at, we can't speculate as to the anomalies you see. It isn't our experience and we don't know what could be causing what you are seeing as files 350% larger than previously generated. No, we didn't have any JPEG compression change that would account for this assuming you used the exact same JPEG (Automatic) settings.

PDF presets are lost after upgrade to CS6 and uninstallation CS4

Since upgrading to CS6 from CS4 and subsequently uninstalling CS4 (and CS3) - as advised by IT - I have lost the presets I had when I export to pdf from Illustrator & Indesign - the drop down menu options of PRESS QUALITY, HIGH QUALITY and SMALLEST FILE SIZE have gone.
I have a back up of CS4's settings but no idea which one I need and what to do with it in order to reinstate these options.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much

You simply would have to copy the presets into the folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Settings
I'd be careful, though. Overwriting default presets with an older version may cause compatibilty issues.

I had a "pdf export" plan and upgraded it to "pdf pack" plan and it was charged the full price of the new plan in my credit card. How to get the refund of the non used part of the old plan?

Hi edilsoncf,
I've seen your question on several forums, and responded there. Did you get your subscription sorted out?

Then you need to upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro, which you can do from the Adobe Products Page.

Trouble with PDF Export from ID CS6

I am having the following problem with PDF exported from an ID CS6 document. I have a couple of pages where a b&w photograph is partly covered by a non-wrapping text frame and in that text frame there is blue text. In ID it looks like this:
It also looks like this in the exported PDF in Apple Preview.app and for most of these pages they also look good in Acrobat Pro. But two are giving me trouble. They look like this:
and sadly, they also look that way when Ingram tries to use them. I export using the typical print format PDF/X-1a:2001
I have a minimal ID document that shows the problem with 3 such pages, one with the problem.

Select one of the troublesome objects and open the attributes panel as well as the effects panel.
Give us a screenshot.

I've just subscribed to Acrobat PDF Export in order to convert pdf files back to Word. Where is the icon for my desktop. I don't seem to have the program to do so?

Where on my PC do I access the PDF Export to convert pdf to Word?

A very good morning John,
As far as I have understood, there is no problem with ExportPDF. You might need to check whether the fonts in your PDF are embedded or not.
For this, open the PDF in Reader/Acrobat and go into File>Properties and click on Fonts tab to check for the same.
If the fonts used in the PDF are not present in the system, then MS Word may not be able to retain the layout of the file.
Please check.

Anubha
