Export to PDF defaults to HTML file instead of Adobe PDF since moving to CC2014

Hi friends!
Help please. Ever since I moved to CC2014 my InDesign and Illustrator is defaulting to HTML files instead of Adobe PDF when exporting to PDF. I also use this same software at another workplace and this has not been a problem there. I am on PC, on Windows 7. Does anybody know of a preference or such that I can switch to correct this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Mindy.

This is the window I am getting when attempting to use Data merge in ID. Have used this successfully before in previous versions of InDesign. Any ideas?
Thanks

PM 6.5 Export to Adobe PDF

Using PM 6.5 under MS Vista I can´t create PDF-files by "export to Adobe PDF". Need help.

Firstly, Adobe don't support PM6.5 on Vista, for this kind of reason. PM's "Export… AdobePDF…" was never the most robust of macros so I'm not surprised it goes belly up with Vista.
You could try this (copied from the now defunct PM FAQs), assuming you have a version of Distiller (4?) installed.
The two stage Print and Distill process
Stage1:
First, "print" a PostScript file by going to File>Print.
Select a PostScript printer & PPD from the output device (ie: Linotronic or Prinergy), or preferably the Acrobat 5 Distiller PPD.
If you use Acrobat 6, use Adobe's Generic Postscript Printer by installing Adobe Universal PostScript Windows Driver Installer (winsteng.exe) from Illustrator's install disk or at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1500, choosing "Local Port" and "File."
It's also recommended for all computers in your department to use the same PPD that is used for writing postscript files as the "Compose to" printer to avoid recomposition.
In PageMaker’s Print dialogue, click on the "Options" button, and check "Write PostScript to File." Select the "Normal" radio button. Set both Type 1 and TrueType fonts to download. As always, set the Send TIF/Images option to "Normal" and NOT Optimized. Make other settings elsewhere in the print dialog as desired, such as "paper" size, crop marks, separations, etc. You’ll see the Print button has now become a Save button. Click Save.
Note: If your going to create a PDF, always use the Distiller PPD.
Stage 2:
Launch Acrobat Distiller.
Good practice in general is to check your Job Options prior to distilling, because you’ll need to change these depending on if your PDF is destined for high-end output or just web viewing - more on that in another post below - but pay special attention to the compression and downsampling options. These will have a very noticeable effect on image quality vs file size. Navigate to the PostScript file you created and open it. Alternately, you can "drop" the .ps file onto the Distiller window. Your PDF will be created, and, provided your PM document was clean to begin with (graphics Placed and not Pasted, EPS and TIF graphics only, properly managed fonts, etc) you should have a good PDF.
Best of luck.

Acrobat cannot open files in the "Adobe PDF document" format

The document “example.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format.
Hi All,
Running Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 on Snow Leopard, have never had this problem before. Showed up about a week ago, I believe with new update. Can't double click on a file in Finder, or drag and drop to AcrobatPro in Dock, but can open from within Acrobat Pro / File / Open command.
All my preferences are correct with "Open With Acrobat Pro" as the default.
I've read all the threads I can find with no answers yet.
Anyone found and answer, I see a lot of us are going through this over the last year.
Only possible common thread I have found is possibly HP printers. But I've been running HP printers all along with no issues.
Thanks for you input.

Moved to Acrobat Installation & Update Issues
Either Acrobat needs to be re-installed or the file is named as a pdf file, but it is not a pdf file. Try opening the pdf file in a text editor and read off what the first line of the file is.

InDesign CS6 exporting to Adobe PDF (Interactive)

Created an interactive form in InDesign CS6, but when I export to a PDF file, using Adobe PDF (Interactive), the purple bar "Please fill out the following form…" is not visible in my PDF file.
PLEASE NOTE: My Adobe Acrobat Pro preferences do not have the check mark on under >Form >Always hide forms document message bar. The check mark is off.
I want the purple box to be visible in my interactive form, yet it is not. WHY????

Because this isn't really an InDesign question, I'd post this in this Acrobat Pro forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/forms
That's never worked that way for me.

Difference between Export and Adobe PDF presets..?

Hi,
It is possible to export a PDF from InDesign (CS3) using both the Export menu and the Adobe PDF Presets menu (both are sub-menus under File)
Technically they seem to do exactly the same thing, both allow you to use predefined presets to export your PDF.
What I am wondering is, are there any differences between the two? And if so, what are they?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

PDF Presets are what they are Presets. You may get a joboptions file from someone to use and use the PDF Presets to load the joboptions (pdf options) file into the Presets.
Then they become available in the Export Options.
Alternatively you can go into the PDF Presets and then choose to Save one of your presets to file, then email that or give the file to someone else to load onto their computer in their version of InDesign.
This way you can both have the same PDF export options.
But the presets are just a way to create, save, load and edit profiles that are available when you go to Export to PDF.

Output file name in Adobe PDF printer

I am a new user trying to use the Adobe PDF printer to print a large number (34,000+) of single sheet reports from an application that is using ASP web pages with long trash names. The pdf printer tries to name them all 1.pdf. Is there any setting to have it increment the file name so that i do not have to name each of these documents? As you can imagine this would take slightly more time than would be convenient, not to mention the assossiated hand cramps

I am sad to report that apparently Adobe does not do a very good job with the PDF printer. I have just spent over an hour with support to get the answer we can not help you. I guess I will have to spend $50 for NovaPDF to handle my problem. It's a shame when a superior overall product like Acrobat is not able to keep up with the knockoffs on the small things.

Problem creating PDF file using the Adobe PDF printer

Apologies if I have hit the wrong forum for this issue.
I am using Adode Acrbat 9 PRO version 9.4.6 on a Windows 7 SP1 machine.
I am running an application that presents information on web pages that I need to capture as pdf files. I am using an automation tool so it is limiting my posibilities of accomplishing this task.
I am attempting to use the Adobe PDF printer as the vehicle to create these PDF files but have encountered the following issues
The page is truncated on the right hand side
Only 1 page is created when I was expecting 7
I have specified a file path for the ADOBE PDF Output Folder ... C:\Windows\Temp and
checked the box "Add document information" but I am not given the opportuniy to enter a file name. It is using the file name from the URL
To verify my PDF content I used a different method to create the PDF from the same web page
Right click within the web page and select Convert to Adobe PDF. The pdf file has the full content with no truncation and is 7 pages in total.
Unfortunately I am unable to use this method with my automation tool
Any pointers will be gratefully received

Some progess
I changed the page orientation to landscape and that removed the truncation. I am not sure why it is not using the "shrink to fit" but for the purposes of this exercise I can live with this solution.
If I click Print Preview I can view all pages and then if I select the Print Icon I get a PDF file containing all pages. This is so bizarre.
So to recap
File > Print > Adobe PDF Printer only creates 1 page
File > Print Preview > Print Document (Alt +P) > Print >Adobe PDF Printer creates 7 pages
I guess this would be a good time to call support to see what they have to say on this topic.

Indesign CS5 with PNG file exporting as a PDF file but the text is random bold

Hello,
I am looking for help to teach me how to solve this problem.
I use Indesign CS5 to make a proposal. I set the page marker and sub title in the master page.
Of course, there are including dozens of pages and some pictures here.
And one of these page, I place a PNG file and type some text.
When I export this file as a PDF file, one page, which is including PNG file, the text becomes random bold.
Therefore, I have used PSD file to cover the PNG file. But finally getting the same problem.
So does anyone can help me how to solve this problem?
Thanks so much for your help.

This sounds like a known issue with transparency on the page. When transparency is introduced ID uses a differnt method, apparently, of rendering text on that page and it appears bolder on screen and can print that way on low resolution devices like desktop printers. It usually is not a problem on press output.
The only way to mainatian consistency would be to introduce transparency on all pages, perhaps by adding a transparent object to your master page.

Why have my pdf files lost the Adobe pdf icon? Please help.

Hello all.
In transfering pdf files from my old PowerBook G4 to my new MacBook Pro, half of the pdf files now have a blank page as an icon. Also, all pdf files that I now create through print in Safari are blank. Nevertheless, all of these files open properly with Adobe Reader. This is the only type of file that lacks a proper icon. Why has the proper icon been lost & how do I solve this problem?
Thanks for your help.

Thank you, the problem appears to have been solved by
rebuilding the launch services database as you
recommended. The second solution did not work.
Question: why do you think this problem occurred with
a new computer straight out of the box?
When you transfer files from another computer or over an FTP site or email, some of the info is sometimes lost. It's actually pretty rare from computer to computer but just about always happens on Internet transfers, although those mostly lose their icons.
I'm still learning how to use this web site. I
selected helpful without realizing I should have
selected solved. Can I change to solved?
I don't think so but you can make this one as solved.

Colors get messed up when exporting to adobe pdf

I am working on a book cover that is mostly black. I have an image that has a black background that i have placed on the cover, and then i created a box and filled it with black for the rest of the cover. When i convert to pdf there is a noticible difference between the black of the picture (darker) and the black of the filled in box (lighter, almost looks grey). If i export to a jpeg it is fine, the colors blend seamlessly. What is going on? How do i fix it?

There is a lot that goes on with Blacks and exporting. First off, your image is probably photographic, or some sort of continuous tone raster image. If it is, and you are dealing with a naturally captured background, the black will have some variation from area to area, and it will have either R,G, and B components, or it will be a blend of the four CMYK channels. There's a good chance, from your description, that the black background you are placing it against is a frame filled with the [Black] color swatch, which is just 100% K ink without other components.
Adding other inks with 100% K results in a darker black, possibly with a cast toward another color, but still a color you would call black. Themore additional inks you add, the darker that black becomes, and 100% k, when printed, looks like gray in comparison. You may also have your preferences set to deceive you. In the Appearance of Black section, make sure that you have Display All Blacks Accurately set to show you the difference on screen.
When you export, colors can be preserved or converted to a destination profile. If you are converting RGB to CMYK, you will get a 4-color "rich black" equivalent. If you are converting to a different CMYK space than you have set for your working space, and you don't "preserve numbers," your 100% k will also convert to some four-color mix, but one that is lighter to simulate the single component black. If you convert to RGB, your blacks will convert to three-color RGB mixes.
What this means is that unless your image has a "dead flat" color (i.e. an artificial background that you've added in compositing an image) and you fill your drawn background in ID withthe same color mix (and are using the same color space as the image for your working space), there is virtually no chance of getting a seamless transition from image to ID background.

Export "Adobe PDF Page Size" ?

Hello:
Is there a way to export custom Adobe PDF Page Sizes from computer to computer? We have a series of custom page sizes for Architectural sheets and currently we have to enter them manually for each computer in the office.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Seeing 750k described as a huge PDF is amusing when I often need to send files for print that are 750 mb or more.
That aside, exported PDF nearly always is larger than distilled PDF because it can include a lot more information like transparency and color management intents. The warning about fonts just means that the preset is set to not embed fonts during distilling to reduce file size (so the viewer must have the fonts on the system for viewing or printing properly), and ID always embeds fonts during export unless they are restricted, so not embedding your fonts will be ignored. You can unembed them using the optimizer.
So why is a 750k PDF too large? Perhaps there's a better format all around for what you are doing.

Acrobat not opening files in "adobe pdf format"????

I just got the message (The document “7/11Diverticulitis.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format.) after trying to create a pdf file on my new computer. Recently upgraded to MacPro On Snow Leopard oper. system. I had all my old stuff transfered to new computer. It all worked fine before. I am using a HPPhotosmart C7250 all-in-one printer/scanner. I needed to upgrade the scanner/printer software driver, did that already. Why doesnt' this work correctly. Steps for creating a pdf file are also different than before but I was able to create on, but can't open it with the new computer . Any ideas?

You say that you transferred everything from another computer -- did you use Migration Assistant, or just copy things over?
Either way, it is probably best to reinstall Acrobat from the disk, as it looks like some components have not been copied over.
(Nothing wrong with having / in a filename on OS X. The only banned character is a semicolon. If you plan on transferring files to Windows, there is a host of chars that they can't use, though.)
