Can I export a PDF in InDesign Server and return it to the calling client?

Using Java/CORBA between a client machine and InDesign Server, I would like to:
1. Make a remote call to InDesign server  to create a document, passing IDML as a parameter on the call
2. Make another remote call to InDesign server to export a PDF, returning the PDF on the call return.
Is this possible? I notice that the doExport method does not return a PDF to the calling client. Instead, it saves the PDF on the server. I don't see any apis which would allow me to do the above.
The use case here is a web application which need to "preview" an image. The image consists of a template and some variable data which is sent to an InDesign server for composition and is returned as an image.
Thanks for any help.

I fail to see the issue. You have added crop marks, have you not? For all intents and purposes those are marks that are supposed to be visible and printable for cutting in the real world. If you don't want them, don't use them. Acrobat can generate them on the fly for printing, anyway.

  • How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

    How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

    That sounds great, but I'm lost.
    I followed these steps:
    1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
    2) Chose print
    The print/printer options pop-up will show.
    3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
    4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
    It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
    Am I missing anything?

  • Format Type Does Not Appear.  Can Only Export to PDF from InDesign.

    When I export a document from InDesign, I am unable to choose any other format besides PDF.  It does not give me the option to select a format type.

    I don't think that's what he means. Think IDML or Jpeg...

  • 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:

  • EPS Fonts using PrintToPrinter and export to PDF on web server

    Post Author: leighlmorgan
    CA Forum: .NET
    I'm trying to print a Crystal10 report from a web server using PrintToPrinter and exporting it to PDF at the same time for audit purposes.  My problem is that the report uses Rotis EPS font which doesn't print correctly (substituted by Arial it appears) or export correctly to PDF.  But it does print OK from the web client and exports to RTF, Excel and Word OK.
    If I logon to the server as the identity account that the web server is running under (in order to have access to installed printers) then it can print Rotis perfectly happily.
    I have tried another EPS font and that also fails to print, so I'm guessing EPS fonts are the root of the problem.
    What do I need to do to make EPS fonts work?

    In a "word"; you can not. Not with the Crystal Reports SDK anyhow. There are ADOBE provided APIs that will allow merging pf PDF files and possibly other 3rd party tools, but no CR SDK will do that for you.

    Anyone know how to export a PDF from InDesign so it is "click to go to next page" instead of "scroll to go to next page"?

    I don't use the latest InDesign, but in the past ID's options for exporting to PDF did not allow setting how a PDF should be viewed once exported.  However, these settings can be adjusted in Acrobat through Preferences: check out Page Layout and Zoom under Page Display.

    Have a look at this generic document to help you troubleshoot: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/troubleshoot-printing-pdf-export-indesign.html
    Could you also provide details about what you've tried, and what errors you encountered? Is this problem limited to a particular document, or all documents?

    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.

    Are you having trouble signing in to your subscription, or having trouble converting files once you're signed in. If you can't sign in, it could be that your subscription just hasn't finished processing yet. Please let us know if you're unable to sign in and we'll go from there.

    I purchased the Adobe Export pdf 10 hours ago and have not received the e-mail to confirm my address and password, then I can't use it!
    The e-mail address is correct and I've consulted the inbox and the  trashbox without result. And I don't know how to contact the seller Adobe...

    Hi Jose,
    After checking your account, I see that you purchased an ExportPDF subscription back in June (under the same email address that you use here in the forums). There are no other subscriptions under that email address.
    But, you should be able to log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com using this email address and your password. If not, please let us know.

  • I can not export a PDF to word. What should I do?

    I can not export a PDF to word. What should I do? Do I have to cancel my subscription? Please answer me.!!
    I already paid all!

    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.

  • Indesign server web service - where is the support to upload a file with the script and download the result?

    Hi,
    I am working on a POC that is supposed to convert indd files to pdf (i.e. using of course the indesign server). Basically I want to call the IDS Web Service (located on a different machine perhaps), pass in the input file, the conversion script and retrieve the result as part of the WebService call? 
    Browsing the documentation, examples, etc in the SDK, I couldn't see how the above can be achieved without the client handling the file transfer. Surely I must be missing something ...
    thanks
    Chris

    What do you mean with POC?
    InDesign Server is too precious (i.e. license cost) to waste its time with file transfers.
    For a smaller scale, let a separate process (some http or smb server) on the same server hardware handle the files - so that the InDesign Server can access them on the fastest local volume.
    If you plan for bigger, use a dedicated server for file sharing (your choice of SMB, NFS or whatever), where the input files are prepared by the client process, so that your load balancer can immediately point the next free instance of the InDesign server farm to the file. In that case be prepared for some try and error - high speed file sharing can be tricky with files written from one side not yet visible or incomplete to the other side, locking problems, Unicode file name trouble, unexpected time stamps and so forth.
    Btw, there is also an InDesign Server forum which would be more appropriate for such discussions.

  • InDesign Server and Version Cue

    Does anyone know where I can find javascript examples on how to get the InDesign server to talk to Version Cue?
    I need to access templates that are checked in to Version Cue, and I want to be able to check in generated PDFs
    I found a couple of functions in the object model, but I keep getting errors from the Version Cue client inside the InDesign server.

    Thank you Bturko in the future only migrate/copy/transfer your documents and settings.  Adobe applications especially are not designed to be transferred from one computer to another.  It is possible to recover however.  I would recommend the following steps:
    Run the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers
    Run the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure complete removal - Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    If you need to download a fresh copy of the installation files they can be downloaded at Download CS3 products.
    Run the installer and reinstall Creative Suite 3.
