Bit.ly URLs won't show up as links when exported to PDF.

I'm trying to link some bit.ly links in my document and whenever I export to a PDF, they turn to text or they're clickable but go to an invalid page. I've created hyperlinks for them again and again, but now they're mostly just turning to text instead of even showing up as links. What am I doing wrong and how can I remedy this?
I'm pretty much a total beginner with InDesign and am working on InDesign CS5 btw.

Are you Exporting to Adobe PDF (Interactive)?

Objects missing when exporting to PDF, but show up when printing to PDF

Hi - I'm working with someone, both of us in InDesign CS4, and she has some documents that cause a few random objects to just go missing when exported to PDF (same on my computer). But when printing to PDF, they show up fine. They also show up fine if we recreate each individual object, but that can end up being a lot of work. She prefers to export to PDF because of quality. I'm drawing a blank on this one!
The attached file shows the issue. The green blocks just don't want to show up when exporting.

Peter -
The links are just the PDFs of the black and white portions and don't really matter too much since they show up fine when exporting or printing to PDF. Our main concern is the green blocks, which are indeed the green areas of the plan you pointed out. They are actually separate objects created directly within InDesign that can be moved and adjusted.
I just updated to 6.0.4 and that didn't help. I wonder if this may be a variant of the bugs I was reading about with master pages and certain things not showing up when creating PDFs or printing (even though none of these things are on the master page)?
Thanks

In 5.0 URL does not show in location bar when I am using a second Firefox window

I have a lot of problems when using a second window for Firefox 5.0. (I have two monitors and like an open browser on each.) One problem is that when I open a new tab, the URL of a site that I go to does not show in the location bar. It just says "Go to a Web site."
I don't understand why a second copy of the browser acts so differently than the first. Can someone explain this to me? Is there any way to avoid this?
FYI: I had the same problem with 4.0 and reinstalled an older version. But the newest version of WordPress suggested upgrading Firefox, which I did.

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I am familiar with your solution and tried it. It did not solve this problem.

How do I restore my Ipod Nano 6th gen, apple logo won't show up on Ipod when I do a hard reset just a circle with a line through it.

When it shows up in Itunes it said I need to do a restore. When I do that an error 1439 comes up. it is stuck in recovery mode.

Are you using the latest version of iTunes and have all the latest Windows updates and patches installed? It might not hurt to try plugging the iPod into a different USB port, preferably a high powered 2.0 one on the back of your PC.
See here for more troubleshooting.
iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439

My iPad won't show the open apps when I double click

Double clicking to show the open apps does not work. I re-powered but it did not help. Any suggestions?

For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
 Cheers, Tom

Data doesnt show when report is run but shows in preview mode or exported to PDF

I have tablix and sub reports in that tablix.. When I run the report and go to the second page i dont see any data from the sub report... but if i export it to pdf i do see data in that spot...
What should i do to fix it? the page size for this report has been set for legal I have tried messing with the page size and removed the margins for the sub report...
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Karen

Hi Karen,
As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by Interactive Size. InteractiveSize is used by the HTML rendering extension to provide the equivalent of Page Size. Because the HTML rendering extension dynamically resizes a report to accommodate
drilldown, drillthrough, and show/hide features, the report server uses different properties to support pagination on dynamic pages. So please check the InteractiveSize of the report, make sure it uses the same size as PageSize.
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Show bookmarks by default when opening the pdf file

Hi
I made a document with a TOC and bookmerk for pdf which worked great.
I have some pdf documents that when I open them, the bookmark panel on Acrobat are opened by default. In my document, that panle is not visible, I need to click the Bookmark icon, so it shows the bookmark panel, and so I can navigate in the document.
Is there a way to configure InDesign so that the pdf file makes Acrobat open the Bookmark panel by default, like those documents I have? It looks like to me that this is a very common resource in pdf files, most of the pdf I have opens the bookmark panel when the document is loaded.
Than you for any help!

Yes... at the moment, PDF final view control via InDesign is lacking... in fact it isn't there at all. This has to be done from Acrobat. However, it is possible to make actions in the action wizard so the process isn't so tedious. I have written about this elsewhere: See it at the final size – view size and Acrobat | Colecandoo!

Busted URLS When Exporting to PDF

All of my URL's are malfunctioning after exporting to Acrobat, but the mailto: link works. When I manually copy/paste the URLs from the InDesign CS5 document to my browser, they work fine; but when I click on them in Acrobat, I get incorrect page links (Google, Verizon, misc., etc.)
http://mysite.verizon.net/peterpica/servo.pdf
Any ideas? If no fix, how can I disable them altogether and just have the clicent copy & paste to their browsers like I must do.
thanks.

If I view this PDF, I don't get any hyperlinks at all. That's because I don't trust Acrobat to correctly identify hyperlinks in text! They are not marked as a hyperlink inside the PDF, and so it's up to the user viewer (and settings) to 'recognize' them.
Other than what Steve said: why not create all of your hyperlinks in InDesign? That has several advantages:
* You can link any text to a hyperlink, it doesn't need to be the actual hyperlink text
* They can span multiple lines.
* You can safely let InDesign break the text and insert hyphens anywhere.
* The hyperlinks will work on every PDF viewer that supports hyperlinks, not just the Latest From Adobe that tries to interpret the on-screen text.
* The hyperlinks will work even if you switch above-mentioned text interpreting off.

Why won't FCX use all cores when exporting a file?

Hi folks,
Latest version of FCX and Lion.
I'm trying to export 7 'projects' (or sequences) for archiving then processing for DVD.
Compressor still busts my kahonies so I'm not using it. I'm using Bitvice (far better compression as well).
Anyhoo, when I Share - export media and choose the file, click ok etc..., the file starts.
But my cores are barely operational. It's quite ridiculous. A 1 hour 22 minute ProRes file to 720x480 16:9 widescreen is taking near 23 minutes.
That doesn't seem right. I shouldn't have to beg this software to rip all 24 cores to their max (I have a 12 core 2.66 with 32 GB Ram).
I've been on so many "how-to's" over the year, that my head is spinning so can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong.
It sure seems like a simple thing.
Cheers,
Keebler

Thanks WG.
Of all things Apple that I've used and owned, I've never been able to get Compressor to go full force. Well, I should say with ease and consistency. There have been a few moments of sparkling hope lol
Latest was a long series and tests with Apple FCP team. They recommended a complete rewipe and only installation of Compressor 4 and FCX without installing FCS3. Sounds like something was messed up with QMaster along the way. But that's another story.
You are right about these - already rendered and FCX probably needs to re-render as it outputs.
My irk is that my cores just aren't being used - I'm exporting a file right now and my CPU usage shows
<GULP> 95.57'ish % IDLE!
cheers,
Keebler

EPS file placed within INDD art shows crop marks when exported to PDF

Hi Friends -
I have a INDD art file I'm working on, within which I placed an EPS image. Upon exporting the INDD art to PDF, the document has what appear to be crop marks surrounding the EPS image. This is not where the image should be cut, and these marks are being shown in a functional part of the design. Here is a screenshot of one corner of the EPS; the other 3 corners have identical marks:
Additional information:
- MS Windows 7 Enterprise SP1
- InDesign CS5.5 Version 7.5.3
- Marks are generated during export process/conversion to PDF; they are not visible in InDesign.
- EPS file does not create these crop marks when placed into another INDD file and exported using the same process as above.
- No other elements of the INDD file have similar marks displayed after export.
Any help with where I might find the setting in INDD to turn this OFF would be greatly appreciated!
D

That was probably the most expeditious reply I've ever received in a forum.
Anyhow, the crop marks are not part of the actual EPS image. Opening the EPS file in PS or AI reveals no stray crop marks so, unless the marks are somehow part of the EPS settings rather than a visible element of the image, I think it has something to do with INDD and its settings. To confirm, I did place this EPS in another INDD document and an export procedure utilizing the same steps does not reproduce the crop marks.

Arabic data shows Junk in Excel when exporting from oracle Apps Screen.

I have an Oracle Apps 11i with Arabic language enabled.
When i export some screens from Oracle Apps to Excel from my Desktop the Arabic letters dispalys as Junk in the Excel.
Do i need to apply any patch?
Regards
Arun

Arun,
You do not need to apply any patches. What is you application/database characterset? What is the application release?
Does this happen on the clients or on specific ones only?
Please set Windows environment variables as follows:
- Go to Control Panel > Regional Options
- Standard and formats: Make sure it is set to "Arabic (<Country>)"
- In the Advanced tab, choose "Arabic (<Country>)"
- Check "Default user account settings"
- Click Apply and retest the issue

When exporting to PDF the words One-Pager shows up in the name

Hello,
Occasionally, I have an InDesign file, that when I export for PDF, it adds the following to the beginning of its name "(one-pager)". Does anyone know why this happens or where it is coming from?
thanks
barbraa

More than likely someone added that to the export filename the first time it was invoked, then saved the ID file.
By default the PDF has the same name as the ID file, but if you change it, then save (or save after exporting, and subsequently rename the ID file), the name you used is burned into the file data and becomes the default.

Photos won't show in Finder

I have a late 2013 13" MacBook Pro Retina using Yosemite.
In Finder, under pictures, my iPhoto library won't show pictures. It says there's 12GB of photos, but it won't show the photos. When I click on the iPhoto Library, it will open the iPhoto app and the photos will show, but again, it won't show pictures in Finder. I use to be able to see my photos in Finder.
It all started when I went to System Preferences and started clicking things under the Sharing tab.
After this, I noticed I wasn't able to see my photos in Finder. I followed another thread that said to: press control and click on iPhoto library, then click on Show Package Contents, then click on Original folder; however, when I did went through this process, I didn't have a folder that said Original, so I don't know what to do. Please Help me!!

What Finder window? Are these images in iPhoto?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

New external hard drive won't show up in disk utilities...

I have a 2010 macbook pro 13" and just bought a 1tb toshiba canvio external hard drive.
The hard drive itself has a USB 3.0 hub running out of it and the specifications say that it needs to run into at least a 2.0 hub, which I have.
I know I will need to reformat the external drive to get it to work on a mac, but it won't show up at all when I plug it in... the drive starts spinning but there is no recognition by my mac.
Does anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

So far all MacBook users have been able to use this drive as a USB 2.0 by using a USB 2.0 cable with a micro usb connector (same as smartphones, Kindle, Nook) on one end. Connect the micro connector to the opening on the left side of the USB 3.0 connector on the Canvio - if you look closely you'll see that side is exactly like the USB 2.0 micro receptacle. That's all you need to connect as a USB 2.0 - the other connections are for USB 3.0 which no Apple system has yet (Dec 2011). Connect the other end (a standard USB type A plug) to your MacBook and it will work. If you want to use it for Time Machine, you'll have to reformat it. None of the supplied software will work with Mac You can read more at this thread:
