Bleed not showing in exported PDF

I'm submitting a postcard design to hotcards.com and am worried because the bleeds that I have are not showing when I create the PDF.
I've included the crop marks when exporting (and checked 'bleed marks'.) Don't know if I should submit with the crop marks, and I'm not seeing the bleed. My color (bleeds) just end at the margins.
Any advice?

First of all, you need to include the bleeds in your InDesign document; 1/8" is pretty standard for bleed in the US, but check with your printer to be sure. Start by including a bleed in your page layout: Document Setup > More Options > Bleed and Slug. Type .125" for all 4 bleeds (if you check the little chain icon on the right, you'll only have to type it once). This will add a red outline outside your page area to show where the bleed should be. Then you'll have to stretch your backgrounds to snap to the outer bleed lines.
When you export the PDF, click "Use Document Bleed Settings" (in the Bleed and Slug section of the dialog box). I also change the marks offset to 1/8" to match, just so they're not too close to the page area. That should give you a good PDF for the printer.

  • Foreign character not showing in exported pdf

    I have this character Š which seems to show okay in ID but when I export it as a pdf it doesn't show. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated. The weird thing is I've got another character, which is the same, and that one comes out okay - I even tried copying and pasting that one but it doesn't work.

    Need a bit more info.

  • Bleeds not showing up in exported pdf

    Hi. I'm having issues with the pdf after it has been exported. I have added bleeds to the design file and when I export it (and check the bleeds box in the exporting window) they do not show up. What does show up are these crop marks, which is strange because I have not selected 'show crop marks' when exporting.
    I've included an example. On the left is what it looks like in Indesign and the right, the pdf 
    Any ideas would be appreciated. I have tried resetting my preferences and it did nothing.
    thanks.

    oh yeah... you're right
    lol thanks!

  • Bleed area not showing in a PDF exported from InDesign

    Hi,
    I created a document in InDesign with a border that goes to the edge. To make sure that the border doesn't get cut off in printing, I added a bleed and brought the border to the bleed to insure against that happening. However, when I export the file to a PDF, it doesn't show the bleed, even if I ask to include crop marks or bleed marks. Is there anyway to make sure the bleed shows in the PDF?
    Thanks!

    please check if the setting in the printer are correct and if the mark and bleed are included when exporting the PDF .
    Also what is the PDF option that you are choosing and steps to recreate the issue or a screen shot please .
    what PDF printer driver are you using ?

  • Custom Image(URL) not showing up in PDF

    Hi,
    We have created a standard webi-report where a company logo is part of the report header.
    We would like to keep the company logo in a database, so we've creáted a simple webapp to retrieve the image from an Oracle database. When we insert the logo into our report we just use the following link as the Image(URL): http://<Servername>/plsqlapp/docs/Company.JPG
    The logo now shows up as expected in the report as long as we view the report through InfoView. However, when we export the report as a PDF document, the logo will vanish.
    If we use boimg://Company.jpg as the Image(URL) instead, it works OK even when exported to a PDF document.
    We would however prefer to keep our images used in reports in a database.

  • Text not showing on exported Excel docuemnts

    I have several Excel documents that I export to PDF using the Adobe printer, Part of my Adobe Acrobat Pro XI install.
    When I do the export to PDF I open up the PDF and see that the entire document is there, unfortunately when I try to print the document from the new PDF certain text does not show up.
    I'm confused why it shows up on the screen but not the print out... different text also seems to appear and not appear depending on the printer its printed on.
    Thanks

    Exporting it made no diff.
    It's Arial regular.
    I noticed that the sample apps from the book Professional Flash Mobile Development: Creating Android and iPhone Applications aren't showing their text when I install their ipa's either.
    So you can make text appear in your apps when creating a textfiled in the IDE? What font are you using?

  • Button Background images created in Indesign do not show up in PDF on some computers.

    I have created buttons that let somone swap one image for another in a PDF in Indesign and the copied and pasted the form fields from the exported PDF to the main PDF document.  An example can be seen here:  http://lustreproducts.com/PDFs/may11/Round_Worksheet.pdf
    The button images for the ends of the handrails seems to work on most computers, however, some people can't see them on their computer for some reason.  I thought it may be because they have too old a version of Reader maybe?  But the PDF should be compatible with Reader 7. Anyone else know what might be causing this?
    Thanks

    Perhaps they are not using Reader at all. Lots of Mac users mistakenly think Preview is capable of displaying complex PDFs and don't bother to download Reader.

  • Crystal Report (visual studio 2005)-Hyperlink not working on exported PDF

    I have created a crystal report by using VS 2005, there are some hyperlinks inside the report.
    After i exported the report to PDF, I check the PDF file, none of the link contains inside the PDF file.
    It seems a bug, i google this issue, some people can export to RTF first and then in RTF save as PDF, then the link should be there. I tried it, it works, but it totally mess up my report layout.

  • XML PO Output for Communication does not show barcode on PDF

    Hi,
    I am attempting to add a barcode to the PO Output for Communication XSL style sheet. I am doing this by calling 2 RENDERX XSL style sheets, the second containing an SVG template.
    I have successfully accomplished this locally on my personal computer using FOP to generate the PDF (barcode appears perfectly). When I transfer the files to Oracle (the new custom PO XSL-FO style sheet in a template, along with 2 new templates for the 2 RenderX XSL stylesheets. The RenderX style sheets appear to be imported at runtime using calls similar to: <xsl:import href="xdo://PO.ALKS_CODE128_BARCODE.en.US/"/>
    The PO Output for Communication report runs successfully with no errors or warnings, and all of the output appears EXCEPT for the barcode (remember this is SVG). Same thing happens when I View Document from the PO form.
    Why does my SVG barcode not appear on the PO Output for Communication within Oracle, yet the same code runs perectly on my PC. I've looked into the Adobe SVG Viewer plug-in, but I do not have that on my local machine yet the barcode appears fine in the PDF. It seems the PDF should be able to show any image anyway.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Suzanne

    Hi,
    I am not using a barcode font. I am using RenderX's XSL stylesheets to generate the barcode. As I said, the barcode generate's fine in the PDF on my computer but does not appear in the PDF when the code is moved to Oracle.
    Thanks,

  • Type not showing when opening pdf in Illustrator

    Here's a strange problem that I don't recall having seen before.
    I have a pdf file with diagrams of cupboards and tables with measurements. Everything looks o.k.
    I open it in Illie (CS3) and everything shows up except the type. It is point type and only the points are there. I can drag over the type where the letters should be and there IS something there (coloured black according to the Color palette) but no recognizeable letters. I tried copying the type from the pdf and pasting into Illie but still no luck. I have the font (Syntax Roman) but the only way I can get it to work properly is to type the text in again manually. Any ideas please?

    InDesign created this PDF and made the font a CID Identity-H font (not opentype, but similar in the respect that it has many more characters)
    I am not an expert on this topic so you may get a better response reposting this here or in the acrobat forum with a new topic (eg:  converting PDF CID fonts to .ai).
    This tech note shows how to fix the problem if you have the original InDesign file.

  • Pictures not appearing on exported pdfs.

    Hi,I am exporting reports in pdf format. I have a picture on the report in the report group header. I used the graphics picture to put the picture on the report.

    HI Beat!
    There's an excellent post on Adobe's site that walks through the differences. It's at http://www.adobe.com/type/topics/info9.html
    However, I believe the caveat about Open Type fonts refers to their extended character set capabilities. You can still see issues with any font that is probably tied to the design and metrics of that particular font. The best course of action is to see if a font will perform under the watermark feature. If so then you're all set. If not—try a different font.
    All your fonts will appear in the dropdown menu. Adobe is most likely just calling on the OS to serve up its list of installed fonts. That shouldn't be relied upon as an endorsement that all of them will function properly in watermark. This is really more of a font issue than an Adobe issue. I have many fonts that just don't respond well in certain programs. And it varies by font and by program so its hard to blame the app more than the font.

  • Links Not Working/Not Clickable in Exported PDFs? FIXED!

    If you, like me, use Pages to create doc s and then export them to PDFs, the non-working links are a pain. But, after 20 minutes of playing around, I found a fix!
    1. In the new version of Pages, export your document to a Word doc. Save it soemwhere on your computer.
    2. Right-click on that Word doc in the Finder, Choose Open With > Pages (4.1) [Or just open Pages 4.1 yourself, then use File > Open and choose that new Word doc]
    3. The old version of Pages opens your doc. Choose File > Export... and choose PDF. File will save where you choose, links active and working just like old times.
    This is my first discussions post and hope it's useful! Let me know that it wokrs for any of you.

    I, too, have been struggling to resinstate hyperlinks in PDF documents made from Pages - or even to create links within Preview. All this used to work fine until my recent upgrades, and I used it a lot.
    So far I have found that links seem to work in PDFs created in the new Pages 5.0.1 but only in the first page of a document, whereas PDFs made from the old Pages 4.3 (iWork '09) seem to fare rather better.
    So I suppose the conversion back to 4.3 would be a sensible course of action. Intriguingly, 5.0.1 does not seem to have replaced 4.3 on my hard drive, even though I trashed the icon for it on my Applications folder (before I realised that I would still need it)!
    Apple doesn't seem to have made any statement about this so far, apart from a promise to restore functionality to Pages, but there does seem still to be a problem with Preview, or perhaps with the OS itself. I can't add links directly to PDFs in Preview. And even links created in Microsoft Word are not carried over into PDFs - not even on the first page.
    I continue to experiment, but am frustrated by the loss of such an important and useful facility. Preview used to do most of what I needed for sharing documents; now it is sadly inadequate. Apple has boobed badly here.

  • Entered Verbiage not appearing in exported PDF version of form

    Hello,
    I have created an online application in Forms Central.  It works great, but if the end-user enters too much verbiage in any of the sections, it is often cut-off in the exported PDF version.  Is there a way to ensure all entered verbiage appears in the exported PDF version of the completed form?
    Thank you.
