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:
SWOP:
Reader 9.5, Preview 5.03, Safari:

Problem in the exportation to PDF (Indesign CS6)

Problem in the exportation to PDF (Indesign CS6):
Page with 3 layers: 1st background image, 2nd semi-transparent white square, 3rd text in color black.
It looks OK in Indesign, but when exporting, in the PDF file the letters are not black, they are gray. What could happened? I've tryed already the obvious solutions (the order of layers is OK, restarted the PC...)
Thank you in advance.

the default [Black] swatch (0/0/0/100 in CMYK) really is a lighter color than a rich black mixed from four CMYk ink, or 3 RGB colors. It would be pretty unusual to see a black background in an image that wasn't a mix.
Do you have the preference in ID for Appearance of Black set to Display All Blacks Accurately? That will show you the difference in ID on screen as well.

I am new to EPUB fomat and I am facing a lot of difficulties in exporting my work from InDesign CS6

Hi..I am new to EPUB fomat and I am facing a lot of difficulties in exporting my work from InDesign CS6. The problem is that I have got a financial report of about 100pages to export as EPUB, with lots of graphs etc..and when I export it, to EPUB 2.0, the following happens:
1. The image quality is quite low (even if the original images are of high quality, and during export, i put the image to max quality)
2. The graphs do not appear where they should be! All the imags in fact appear after the long paragraphs of text..meaning everything appear quite messy and in an unordered manner.
I have read that images should be anchored, and doing so, the result is quite better, but still, some images appear at the end of the text!!d
That is, the end result, in terms of pagination and graphics, is no way like it should have been, compared to the indesign file (page 5 is displayed after page 10, image on page 4 appears on page 9 etc..)
PLEASE HELP..
P.S :
I am using Adobe digital edition to view my EPUB..I have also tried CALIBRE and SIGIL!! But I am not too sharp in eiting CSS codes etc...

Hi Akshay,
If you want your images to appear standalone with no other page item on the page, then you can insert Page break on an image.
This is how you can specify a page break:
1. Select the image
2. Goto Object->Object Export Options
3. Select EPUB and HTML tab
4. Select Custom Layout check box and then check Insert Page break. You can select from the option in the dropdown-Before Image, After Image, Before and After Image as per your requirement.
Regarding your question about images:
You export your graphs as JPEG but are those JPEGs of good resolution? If they are, then InDesign is doing something wrong during export but if the JPEGs are not of good quality then it is not an export issue. Please provide some more details here.
Regards,
Pooja

ID Install - Can't open the application Adobe InDesign CS6 because it may be damaged or incomplete.

Trying to install inDesign CS6 on my imac. But everytime I try at end of install I either get a problem with install error, or if it does show up in my applications folder, it has a "no" sign and when clicked I get:
"You can't open the application Adobe InDesign CS6 because it may be damaged or incomplete."
Need help, Im a freelance desktop publisher and need this to work!

After I deleted Adobe File Manager because it was always popping up annoyingly, I got a similar "damaged application - reinstall" message. However, InDesign didn't seem to be affected. Nevertheless, I reinstalled AFM, and fixed the problem, except for the annoying appearances of AFM.
If it's not present on your system, you can search Google for "download adobe application manager mac" without quotes, to download and install it.

Can't view some images or export them to PDF from CS6 InDesign

I recently reimaged my Win7 PC hard drive and I was told by Adobe that I needed to reinstall CS6.
I was editing a document I've been working on for months and when I went to export it to PDF, like I've done many times in the past (pre-reimaged hard drive), I got an error message during the PDF export. Now when I view the document in ID, many of the graphics on other pages display as grey boxes and I can't export to PDF(or print to PDF) anything but grey boxes or no images for many of the images/graphics. Or, I may get a PDF without the graphics, but a dark area for the drop shadow only in place of the graphic. When I try to relink the graphics I get an error message that says "You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the file owner or an administrator to obtain permission." I am the file owner and admin. These files gave me no problems before this reinstall.
I also found that if I try to open an offending AI or EPS files in AI CS6, I get a similar message that says, "Can't open the illustration. The file may be read only, or the files is in use by another application, or you do not have the required permissions. Please save the document with a different name, or in a different folder or directory. -54"
I uninstalled and reinstalled CS6 again (as administrator), and did the appropriate updates. Same results.
I also opened another client's file and had a similar issue when I exported to PDF.
I tried to save the first file to IDML so I could open it in CS5, which (CS5) has been working perfectly since the reinstall. When I created the IDML from CS6, it did some really strange things when opening it in CS5, including while opening the IDML file, it would "call" an ID CS6-based file, which of course, CS5 didn't like at all. It then goes into an endless loop which requires Windows Task Manager to get out of the program.
Any ideas as to what's going on here? Do I need to change some settings in ID? Acrobat?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

I found the solution in other discussions...
I need to run iTunes in 32-Bit mode.

Cannot overwrite PDF when exporting to Acrobat from InDesign CS6

When exporting to Acrobat Pro X from InDesign CS6, there are times when I want to overwrite an exising file but I get an error msg that the file is in use (it is not--this even happens when I have closed the file and quit Acrobat) or i don't have permission. In the Info panel at the Finder, i see that "myusername (ME)" does have permission to read and write this file. As a test, I also changed the permissions for Admin and Everyone to Read & Write, but that did not help. I've checked Preferences in both InDesign and Acrobat Pro anc can't find a relevant setting.
To save the file with the same filename as the pre-exisitng PDF, I have to close the pre-exisitng PDF and move it to the trash.
I have no problem overwriting a PDF document from Acrobat. This only happens when I am exporting from ID.
I am on a Mac running the latest version of OSX.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Carol Gunn

Make sure that the PDF you are trying to overwrite is not selected in your finder. I've found that if it's selected in the finder then the preview tricks Indesign into thinking the file is busy

Can not find pantone+ swatches in InDesign CS6, such as 2239c?

How do I find the pantone+ swatches in InDesign CS6, such as 2239c? It is not visible in the swatches panel? Can anyone else see this swatch in Indesign Cs6 or Illustrator Cs6?

From the Swatches panel Flyout menu, choose New swatch.
In the new swatch definition dialog, under Type choose Spot, and under Mode choose Pantone + Solid Coated.
There are some legacy colors that are not included inthe Pantone + series. You can add these to both ID and Illustrator by following the directions in Pantone Plus color libraries (Thanks, Vikrant ).
2239 isn't in my old swatchbooks as a spot color or the legacy books for the program, either. Are you sure that's a vaild number? Perhaps youpi really mean 223-9, a light blue-gray process color? If that's the case, you'd need to specify Process instead of Spot, and choose the appropriate book fromthe mode dropdown. The 223 series seems not be included in the + books, but it is inthe legacy books if you add them according to the instuctions in the link above.

Incorrect images from .indb file export to ePub in Indesign CS6

I am having problems exporting images to ePub and get a different result from the same file depending on whether I export directly from the .indd file or from the .indb file.
When I export to ePub from the individual chapter (.indd) file, everything is fine and the images appear in the correct locations where they have been anchored.
When I export via the book (.indb) file, images are being replaced with the incorrect file in the resulting ePub.
Looking at the HTML, it seems not all images are being exported from the .indb file and when the image is missing, Indesign is substituting the next available image from the alphabetical list in the images folder so I'm getting incorrect images peppered throughout the book.
Any idea where I've gone wrong and how to fix it? I've produced several ePubs with images and never come across this before.
More details on how I've set up the files and any other info I think might be relevant below if needed.
- I'm using Indesign CS6 (8.0.1)
- I'm producing an 11 chapter book.
- Each chapter is a separate .indd file for ease of editing.
- These 11 files have been added to an .indb file for export to ePub.
- Images are all anchored to their captions within the text.
- On Export to ePub settings for images I have selected to insert a page break before the image and that settings apply to anchopred objects.
Nothing else is selected (I don't want to preserve appearance from layout.)
- I'm using the Articles panel feature for order of content.
- In the original file supplied, the images were placed as .tiff images. I saved them to jpeg and relinked them using the "relink to folder" and "match same file but this extension" options.
- No links are flagged as missing.
Any help much appreciated.

The solution points to how, it appears, the book panel export is functioning: each file exports a set of tags referenced to itself; file01 adds a "1" to its tags, and so forth. What I was able to do was use a file referencing all of the tags in the style suite in two ways:
first, I exported to an epub the single file, creating a fairly clean CSS, which I then extracted and renamed;
then, making certain that file was the "source" file in the book panel, I mapped for export all of the tags, being careful to be certain each tag/class combo was same as in renamed clean CSS;
I synchronized the whole shebang;
I exported to epub, adding my clean CSS as an external style sheet, selecting only "include embeddable fonts".
Bingo!

Can I Globally Bind Fields in InDesign CS6 Forms?

I'm used to using LiveCycle Designer to create forms, where I had a great deal of control over how the forms would look and feel and could create very complex interactivity. Particularly useful was the ability to create form fields that would repeat information throughout the rest of the form through global bindings.
Because I'm now trying to create forms for use on mobile devices, I want to create that same level of interactivity in InDesign CS6. Anyone have any advice on how I can go about doing this?
Thanks in advance.

InDesign is only giving you access to the features of Acrobat (Acro forms). Acrobat has some features not accessible from within InDesign.
There is no feature in either InDesign or in Acrobat called "global binding" for Acro forms that I'm aware of.
Your best bet is asking questions about Acro forms in the Acrobat Forms forum.

Can't save as 'eps' in Indesign cs6 trial.

I am trying to design a logo and I am using a trial version of Indesign cs6. However, it will not let me "save as" an eps file. It only allows 'indesign cc template", "indesign cc document" and "Indesign CS4 or later". How can I save my logo as an 'eps' on a transparent background so I can use it in the creation of my business card?

All the google help pages say that you can save an eps file on a transparent background
For example; http://smallbusiness.chron.com/create-eps-file-transparent-background-52652.html
But I don't have the option in my Indesign "save as" > "format" drop down menu. It is so frustrating.
I have been able to do it before, in Indesign cs6 on a PC.
When you save a logo as an 'eps' file you onle see the actual logo making it very easy and functional to work with when using the logo to create a design. When you save it as anythig else the logo appears on a white page. Like a letterhead. on a document.

Can you export an Image Trace from CS6 to ArcMap 10.0 and then convert it to a shapefile?

I am new to AI CS6 and I hope that Image Traces can be exported as files that are usable in ArcMap 10.0. I ultimately need a shapefile in ArcMap.

You export a DWG from AI and import it into ArcGIS. Read the ArcGIS help and forums for instructions and tips on how to avoid problems.

Can only open .indd files within InDesign CS6

I am using InDesign CS6 (cloud version) on Windows XP. I can only open .indd files by opening InDesign CS6, doing File>Open, and then browsing for the file.
If I try to go to the folder where the .indd file is located (without opening InDesign CS6), and double-click on it, it acts like it doesn't know what kinf of file it is.
Another co-worker of mine is experiencing the same thing on Windows 7.
Does anyone have suggestions on what to try to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Uninstall, run the clean tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3), and reinstall. The symptoms you describe are typical if the icon handler .dll file is damaged.
Try turning off your anti-virus and spyware scanners, and anthing else not required to run the system before you reinstall.

Comment utiliser seulement le «.» lorsqu'on exporte un document dans InDesign CS6

Lorsque je veux exporter un document de plusieurs pages dans Indesign CS6 en jpg, je veux utiliser le .jpg, et rien écrire avant. Une fenêtre apparaît me disant : Les noms débutant par un point «.» sont réservés au système.
Lorsque je travaillais sur le CS5, je pouvais le faire, maintenant c'est impossible. Quelqu'un peut m'aider ? Lorsqu'on a un 60 pages où il faut enlever tous les «0» mis à cause de ce détail, c'est très long.
Merci !

Je travaille avec Mac et je pouvais le faire avec le CS5 ...
Moi aussi je travaille sur Mac et j'ai toutes les versions de CS à CS6… Comme je le disais dans ma réponse, c'est le système qui empêche que le nom d'un fichier commence par un point.
Voici la version d'InDesign que j'ai utilisée pour tester…
en essayant de nommer les fichiers de cette façon…
et voici le message d'erreur que j'obtiens :
Ce sont des numéros de pages de journal que j'exporte en jpg. Voilà pourquoi j'ai besoin de chiffre de 01 à 60.... et non de 001 à 060 !
Là, je ne comprends plus ! À aucun moment dans votre question, vous ne mentionnez le fait que vous voulez nommer vos exports de cette manière.
Je viens de refaire un test, en conservant le nom du fichier InDesign d'origine. J'obtiens ceci : nomdufichier.jpg, puis nomdufichier2.jpg, et ce jusqu'à 60, mais pas de « 0 » supplémentaire ; c'est peut-être lié à la version d'OS que vous utilisez.
Ensuite, on peut utiliser Bridge pour renommer les fichiers par lot, ce qui permet aussi de retirer le « 0 » qui vous gêne.
