Can't export file as pdf?

trying to export idd cs6 file as pdf and get message "cannot save to the file... you may not have permission or the file may be in use.  I tried closing the idd file but then cannot save -- catch 22!!! 

In a situation where you cannot save the file and close it you can try and export to .idml (see Remove minor corruption by exporting) and if that also is unsuccessful, try a force quit on ID, then restart ID and hope the autorecovery works. You really haven't got anything left to lose at that point, and you have some chance for recovery on the force quit where cloing without saving loses all your changes.

    It would be easier to help if we actually knew what the problem is.

  • How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

    For a variety of reasons, mostly related to security, the iOS operating system limits what can be done with respect to file uploading and downloading. But whenever you encounter a limitation like this always think, "There must be an app for this."

  • Can't save file from .pdf file opened in browser?

    Before, on my old laptop, with Vista or XP, when I opened up a .pdf link from a browser site, I had the option of saving the .pdf file, printing it, etc.
    Now, I can print the file, but I can't save it.  It looks like Adobe wants me to purchase acrobat.com.
    Is there a way to save the files?  Thanks.

    While that may be true for you, it is not a common problem for all users. I use both Reader and Acrobat (along with many other Adobe applications) without issue daily on multiple computers with multiple Operating systems so your statement is way to generalized to be helpful.
    Have you tried getting help in this forum before?

  • Indesign crash when exporting file into pdf

    Hi, I am having a little problem with my Indesign program. I don't know how to fix it. So this is what happen....
    I finish a 2 page file in Indesign and I wanted to export it to pdf. I click on export and it runs for 1 page and then Indesign crash. I thought it was because I have too much images, so it runs very slow. I delete some picture and try again. The same thing happen.
    I don't know what I should do?!?! I search around for help but seems like I am the only one that have that problem??

    I have run into the occasional image that causes the PDF export to fail. Sometimes they are AI files and sometimes they are PSD files. I usually resave them in different formats and this fixes the problem. I haven't yet figured out the reason that the files cause the PDF export to have problems. Last week I ran into a complicated AI file that just refused to export to PDF in ID. I saved it out of Illustrator as an EPS and then it exported fine out of ID. Typically I don't have problems with AI files, so it may just be an odd image on page one of your document that is causing the problem.
    If it prints okay, you might try printing to PDF rather than exporting.

  • Exporting file to pdf from internet, the document its in blank or incomplete

    When i export a file to pdf from internet, the document is in blank or incomplete. Its the same if i donwload in a PC or opening online. The trouble is only in this PC, and i try with diferent browsers.
    I try deleting temporary files, upgrading a latest version of Reader and modifying the security configuration in the browser.
    Any idea?

    Hi da23841142,
    What are you using to export the file to PDF? Or, are you simply downloading a PDF file from the Internet, and then trying to view it in Reader? What version of Reader are you using, and are you on Mac OS or Windows?

  • How can I export files from my ipod classic and reset it without losing content and syncing it to a new library?

    I'm trying to export the files that exist on an ipod classic. It belongs to my girlfriend, and she doesn't want to lose any of the music on it. But she wants to sync to a new PC and not lose the content. So, I want to export all the files and then place those files plus start a new itunes library with it. If I were to sync to my PC, would it erase all of the existing data? Can I buy/download a program that would allow me to upload all of the existing content on her ipod classic to my PC and then take that and place it back on by syncing it through her new laptop and adding the exported files....?

  • Using PhotoShop CC v2014.1.0 I can't save files as PDFs - I get a program error

    I have tried a couple of different files now. In the past I could save my files as PDF copies, but just recently it has been generating errors. I thought the first one was due to the size of the file but I just tried it again on a small file with the same "program error".

    So the question then becomes, what do the files that won't save as PDF have in common but at the same time they don't share with other files.
    And when I said that a font would cause the issue, this was in regards to using a specific font. Generally one that is corrupt in some fashion or was poorly created. First, try the steps here: Troubleshoot fonts | Photoshop CC, CS6, CS5

  • Can't export to RGB pdf - Indesign CS6

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to export a web pdf with RGB color settings but it doesn't work. Everything looks good in the Indesign document and I've switched to RGB transparency blend space. When I export to a interactive pdf it comes out as a CMYK pdf and when I try a print pdf i just get the error: "1 problem (1 failure) was found with a background task: mydocument.pdf"
    What could be wrong??

    Where are you viewing the exported PDF? If it's AcrobatPro you might have a CMYK simulation profile set.
    I tried exporting an interactive PDF with your colors and transparency, and it previewed correctly in AcrobatPro (sRGB simulation), Reader, and Preview. Here's AcrobatPro with different simulations:
