Can (CS5) Export to PDF and Compress all Images ?

Using CS5, I have a "Book" with 12 chapters, and a total of about 800 color images. The goal is to export it as one PDF file that will be viewed on screens, not sent to a printer.
When I did export to PDF , the file size was enormous: about 240 MB.
I want this file to be much -- much! -- smaller sized (in terms of MB).
I have all the images at different resolutions -- from 72 dpi to 220 dpi --  and I do not need the higher resolutions.
What is the best way to approach this problem? ...
--Is there a way to set Indesign to compress all the images during the export ?
--Or can Photoshop be used to "batch" compress all the images to 72dpi ?
--Or is there some other method that I can't even imagine.
Thanks very much !
Zorba

Look in the Export to PDF Dialog. In the "Compression" panel, you can set a maximum allowed dpi -- any image with a value above the "above" value will be downsampled to the "to" value.
This only works on bitmap images; if you have placed large vector images, there is no way to automatically decrease their size.

  • Export for PDF and items disapear from the page...

    Hello Big Masters,
    please give me a solution to the fact that:
    I lose some items (a text box and a graphic) at the export from Indesign to PDF.
    -The file is 6 pages long. Simple. Some text and small pictures.
    -The missing items are close to the right bottom of the page. It is allways on the same page. In my case on the last page.
    -The missing item is exactly the same like some others. (it is like an object I could put on master page, but I wanted only to COPY/ PASTE IN PLACE)
    -I tried countless solutions, but no one passed successfully. I tried to ungroup/regroup (it is an object made of letters and outlined letters), I tried to outline all of the object, I tried recopy the object, I tried to put the page in a different order (thinking that the bug always came on the last page), I closed down indesign, I tried different PDF quality options, I tried renaming and overwriting, I checked all the layers (they are all printable). NOTHING worked.
    I start worring about the quality of Indesign, that I thought being the perfect software for multipage layouts, but I experienced this bug that wasted me 2 hours. In the researches for solutions I also found out that more problems are ahead in big ePubs or when you bring old big files, with Masterpages, it seems that is a real mess what comes out.
    Do you experience these troubles with Bermuda-effect in Indesign (dissapearing items surprisingly unexpected...)???

    The answer for you is YES.
    But Still didn't get the bug solved.
    The first pic as you see, is from ID before I export to PDF
    and the last image is the crazy pdf file, I am getting.
    If the adobe guys need my file for investigation, I can send it to them somehow.
    But then again, I got a compromise solution by putting the "missing" object on a separate masterpage.

    How i can insert videos, export to pdf and then watch the video? i can't. It is suposse that i have to configurate the option save but i don't know how... any help?

    Fron the Pages Help menu:

    You can add audio—a music file, a playlist from your iTunes library, or any other sound file—to a Pages document. You can add video that plays within a page.
    Pages accepts any QuickTime or iTunes file type, including the following:
    MOV
    MP3
    MPEG-4
    AIFF
    AAC

    When you add media files to your document, make sure that they will be available if you transfer your document to another computer. When saving your document, make sure the option “Copy audio and movies into document” is selected in the Save window. (If you don’t see the option, click the button next to the Save field to display the entire Save window, and then click the Advanced Options disclosure triangle.)

  • How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo's?

    After reading dozens of forum, I still don’t found the answer.
    I made a photobook with full-colur and B/W photos for Offset printing. I want the B/W to be in grayscale to avoid color possible color shades. It seems InDesign doesn’t support grayscale, the images become way to dark. Even with exporting without any colour conversion or destination and/or including original colour profiles, the grayscale pictures are being exported to dark to PDF.
    How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo’s?

    Yes, the Photoshop & ID CMYK working spaces are the same
    This can get difficult because the 3 programs handle soft proofing differently.
    The working spaces don't matter, it's the document profile(s) that manage the preview. So here is the same grayscale image placed in ID on top and PS on the bottom. I've set my Photoshop info to show the doc profile in the lower left corner. I can see my InDesign's Document CMYK profile in my Proof Setup (the Working CMYK is different and isn't being used). Both profiles are effectively the same Coated FOGRA39 (Black Ink FOGRA in the case of PS).
    But the previews don't match because I have Overprint turned off, so the InDesign preview is Gamma 2.2 or a "screen" media preview.
    If I turn on Overprint preview I get a match because I'm soft proofing for print:

    Ah, sorry for the exporting misunderstanding. I thought it was implied that since you can't export using a product, it's through ID. The NitroPDF is what it is exporting to and thus where I thought there could potentially be a driver disconnect within the workflow.
    I'm confused. From ID you export to PDF (and get asked where to save the file). It sounds more like you are printing to PDF using Nitro PDF as a substitute for Distiller. Would you mind listing the commands you use to do that so I understand the workflow?
    And I guess things have changed with reader... the X version gives you a limited amount of printing, according to the download site? Never heard of that before.... Who knew? I was always steered towards Acrobat Distiller if using any printing where an Adobe product was accessible.
    What do you mean by a limited amount of printing? Distiller has no print function at all, nor any other fuction than to distill postscript into (flattened and primitive) PDF.

  • Export to pdf and xls issue

    Hello All,
    I have a button group to export to pdf and to Excel in a web template.
    It worked fine the first time and on a second run it stopped working. Since then, I've tried everything (recreate the buttons, reboot..) and it just does not work.
    Export to pdf gives me the parameters screen. I get a screen flash when I click OK and... nothing.
    Export to Excel does not react at all. I also tried to export to Excel directly from the Analysis (built-in on right click) and it does not work.
    Anyone has an idea?
    Thanks

  • Export to PDF and Spot Color Reg Marks

    This sounds like a simple problem but I have not been able to find a way to do this.  When I create a document in ID with 2 spot colors and then export to a pdf and add registration marks (or crop marks) at this stage, the reg marks are created as the spot colors in the document AND Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black.  I am outputting to a RIP to generate printing plates.  This is a problem because I will get six plates (four with only reg marks) rather than just the two I need.  Is there a way to add the reg marks in the export stage so that they are created as only the colors that are present in the document?

    Add a slug around your document (File>Document Setup>Show Options)
    If your bleed is 3 mm and you want to add 5 mm crop marks, set the slug to be 8 mm all around
    On the master page make a line at .25 pt and place this outside the bleed area and touching the slug line
    Do this for all master pages.
    Set the stroke colour to registration.
    Export to PDF and choose to include bleed and slug.
    Don't turn on crop marks.

  • Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?

    Hi everyone,
    Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?
    When i export a tracking list with a Comment field in the Content type, the screen where you enter the data for an item, the Comments field just export the text of the comment into the Excel file.
    In the Comments field appears also, besides the comment text,  the user and date from who and when the comment is added.
    Is there a way to export also the user and the date?
    Thanks
    Wim

    create another comment field that doesn't use 'appending', and through SP Designer change workflow keep
    updating that field with the new comments  (prepend the field with date/username/new comment). Hide the field on all forms, but put it in the view you need to export to Excel.
    Please refer few more links: Hope they will help

    Hi wishborne,
    I'm here to help! Are you unable to log in to ExportPDF, or unable to convert files once you're logged in? I tried to check your order history, but don't see any orders under the email address that you use here. Did you perhaps sign up using a different email address, or sign up via Adobe Reader?
    I look forward to hearing back from you. We will get to the bottom of this.

  • How can I quit (close) Photoshop and keep all windows so that the next time I open Photoshop the fil

    How can I quit (close) Photoshop and keep all windows so that the next time I open Photoshop all the files that I had open are there already in the same position as when I closed Photoshop?
    I've been a Fireworks user for over 10 years and just switched to Photoshop. I cannot find a setting that will enable all my file windows to reopen when I quit Photoshop. This is really a problem since I often work on several files at the same time.
    Please let me know if the feature exists or point me to where I can post a message for a new feature to be implemented. The feature is a must for any designer working on large projects.
    Thanks!

    There is no such functionality. You could perhaps create a script that stores that info in a custom text file and arranges them accordingly in the workspace, but that's as good as it gets...

    Hi ceop,
    It seems earlier you were able to use it.
    It is not clear why you are facing this issue now.
    You can try it with another pdf file,It might be possible that there is some issue with your pdf file.
