[ASAP] Need Help Exporting to PDF - Line weight problems (Illustrator file)

So, I've drawn some stuff in Illustrator which I've then placed in InDesign.
It all looks right on screen, but when I export the document to pdf (Adobe PDF Presets: High Quality Print) the Illustrator stuff appears to lose the line weight settings. This is easily noticeable on some really thin lines that print much thicker than they were supposed to.
I gotta be missing something when exporting to pdf... 'cause if I export to Jpeg everything comes out right. No more line weight problems! The question is: what the hell am I doing wrong???
Please, somebody help me out.
Thx!

1. How are you printing?
I'm using one of the Adobe PDF Export Presets: High Quality Print.
2. What are you using to determine the line weight?
What do you mean? I talking about the stroke size.
3. Have you tried opening the PDF in Illustrator to see what the reported line weight is?
I've tried it now and it looks just fine! Just like it was supposed to! All the line weights are correct.
4. This might just be a limitation of your printer or printer driver.
I don't think so. I have never had this problem up until now!
I'm starting to think it has something to do with some Acrobat preferences settings...

  • Need help exporting to PDF...

    I'm having problems exporting my brochure to a PDF for print - message= out of memory. Can anyone please help me wtih a solution? I'm using InDesign (CS6 v8) for Windows...

    Hi Julieanne,
    There could be several causes to this issue. There's a document on Troubleshooting printing/PDF export in the InDesign Help area. This could help you isolate the issue. You may want to narrow down if this is a general issue or is only happening with this product.
    Hope this helps you out, and let us know that you are able to continue!
    Thanks,

  • I cannot get the Output Module to work. I was able to get the button to show up, but when I click on it, nothing happens. i need to export a PDF asap

    I cannot get the Output Module to work. I was able to get the button to show up, but when I click on it, nothing happens. i need to export a PDF asap. I am trying to export 33 PSD files in BRIDGE to a PDF like I used to do on my other computer with bridge.

    Let's start with the general things.
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • PDF line weight - please help!

    Hi,
    When I save from InDesign as a PDF any line drawn with the pen tool/circle tool etc stay the same line weight no matter how much I'm zoomed in on the document. For example, I could zoom right out to 25% and the line thickness will still look at the same as at 150%. Is there a setting to change this?
    Hope someone can help by the end of today.
    Many thanks!
    Will

    Will sent me a PM because he's having trouble replying in the forum:
    Hi, thanks.... but that is a setting in Acrobat.
    The designer that I work with says that her InDesign doesn't have this line weight problem (or she has never seen this problem before), so is there a setting that I can change in inDesign?
    (I tried to reply on the forum but I keep getting an error... 'You can't post a blank message')
    This is not a problem in InDesign, it's a problem in the display in Acrobat (and you are the second person today to post about it). Acrobat is the place you need to be to fix it when viewing the PDF.
    As far as your posting problem, are you using the web page editor, or email? Some email clients have issues. If the web page, you need a little patience sometimes for the editor screen to fully load, and then you may need to click inside the editing area to get an active cursor. Hitting Enter with a blank message area would generate that error.

  • I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    You mean an image such as a scanned document?
    If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
    You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

  • PDF "line weight" issues

    When exporting my document (full of graphs and charts) from Microsoft Word 2010 into Acrobat Pro as a PDF, I am having "line weight" issues upon zooming in and out of the document.  Depending on whether I zoom in or out and to what extent, lines disappear, become thicker or thinner or criss-cross eachother; There seems to be no "line weight" problems when printing though.  Does anyone have an answer?

    Try changing the Rendering options on Preferences > Page Display. For example, make sure Smooth line art and Enhance thin lines are checked.
    There will be variation in previewing line weight because of the lower resolution of a screen. On the printer, which has higher resolution, you're seeing a more accurate preview of the objects.

  • I need help with creating PDF with Preview...

    Hello
    I need help with creating PDF documetns with Preview. Just a few days ago, I was able to create PDF files composed of scanned images (notes) and everything worked perfectly fine. However, today I was having trouble with it. I scanned my notebook and saved 8 images/pages in jpeg format. I did the usual routine with Preview (select all files>print>PDF>save as PDF>then save). Well this worked a few days ago, but when I tried it today, I was able to save it, but the after opening the PDF file that I have saved, only the first page was there. The other pages weren't included. I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing. I really need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I can't find it.  I went into advanced and then document processing but no batch sequence is there and everything is grayed out.
    EDIT: I realized that you cant do batch sequences in standard.  Any other ideas?

  • I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011

    Good morning,
    I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011. Please....

    It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/import-ema il-from-mail-to-outlook-2011/5e858173-e1f4-4adc-99d7-253cc467169d?page=2 for details.
    The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
    A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method.

  • Need help exporting DMME tracks - ASAP!

    I'm exporting a show for a client and the distibutor needs:
    - Dialougue on track 1
    - Mix on track 2
    - M & E on tracks 3&4
    I'm no audio genius by any means and I have the audio output setting for my timeline set-up for 4 track output:
    - Track 1 Mono
    - Track 2 Mono
    - Track 3 & 4 Stereo
    My questions are......
    One, is this correct?
    Two, my Dialogue track is stereo and both L & R are assigned to Track 1. Does this screw up the stereo. It sounds like it would to me.
    Three, if the above settings are correct, then which channel set-up do I choose in Compressor to make sure the audio stays on the right tracks. (example: Should I choose 4.0 L R C Cs or 4.0 L R Ls Rs)
    I could really use some help on this one. Thanks.
    Also I am am running:
    Mac Pro Intel Dual 2.66
    10.4.10
    FCP 5.1.4
    Compressor 2.3
    If that helps at all.

  • Need help exporting multiple individual PDF files out of Indesign CC

    I work for a monthly publication and we send our files to the press at the end of the month. There are around 190+ pages that need to be exported as individual PDF's and each PDF needs to be labled as their correct page number. Since we often are backed up against the wall at our deadline, we really need a way to export all these files at one time. Is there a way to export multiple PDF files at one time in Indesign CC?

    You could script InDesign to export each page as individual PDF with specific export presets and labeled with correct page number.
    But you could also use Acrobat Pro for this task (sorry for the certainly wrong translation of the Acrobat UI – I use a german version ...):
    Export the whole publication as 1 PDF file (pp. 1-190).
    Open it in Acrobat Pro and choose »Tools › Extract Pages«.
    Type 1 to 190 and check the box »extract pages as single pages«, choose the location where to extract to and acrobat automatically numbers your new PDFs sequentially from 1 to x. (Caution: it doesn’t take the correct page number, but numbers sequentially, so it is important to have a PDF from pp. 1-190 in the correct order.)
    So with this (as mentioned – sorry for German ):
    You’ll get this:
