Can't InDesign Server make a jpg export of a large page? (4000x4500mm)

Hi guys,
I don't have InDesign Server installed so thats why I ask here.
I'm using a solution where an InDesign server should return with a jpg of an InDesign document, but for some reason it doesn't work with this document:
http://ge.tt/8w1EmaP/v/0
Can anyone clarify if InDesign Server really has a problem in exporting larger dimensions of if it is just the solution which I'm uploading to, that has a problem?
Thanks in advance!

Ole

It also depends on the Resolution of the JPG. I just exported a 72 ppi JPG from InDesign desktop. However, it would not export a 2400 ppi JPG (maximum size exceeded).

InDesign Server crashes on PDF export

I've narrowed the problem down to the PDF presets we have defined.
We have two PDF Presets that we use with our InDesign Server, one for low quality and one for high quality.
When exporting a document using our high quality preset, IDS will sometimes crash altogether and will have to be restarted. We've never had this problem using our low quality preset.
The only differences between the two presets are the image compression settings. Our HQ preset is set to 200PPI for color & grayscale images, while our LQ preset is set to 72 for color and 120 for grayscale images. Also, Image quality is set to High on our HQ and Medium on our LQ preset. Those are the ONLY descrepancies between the two.
Does IDS have problems with exporting higher quality PDFs? Is this a known issue with ID?
I can lower the quality of the PDF and it seems to fix the issue, but I'd like to know why this happens. Also, the whole purpose of exporting in HQ is to have a "high quality" PDF.
Production Server Hardware -
Windows Server 2008 R2 x64

Adobe InDesign Server CS5 v 7.0.3

I don't use the server edition, but the regular version certainly doesn't have a problem with high resolution. I have once or twice, though, seen a problem with a custom preset created in an earlier version. This seems to have disappeared for me with the 7.0.3 update, though.
Prests being as easy to creat as they are, though, you might want to try remaking any problem presets, starting from one of the canned presets if possible, and see if it makes a difference.

InDesign Server Developer Edition, PDF export problem

I'm currently testing our application on IDS CS5, using Developer Edition. Whenever I attempt to export a PDF, I receive the following error:
Wed Mar 2 10:17:29 2011 WARN [server] Colour in one or more placed graphics cannot be represented as CMYK. Non-CMYK colour is not compliant with the PDF/X-1a standard. You can click OK to produce a valid PDF, but it will not be a PDF/X-1a compliant file.
Wed Mar 2 10:17:29 2011 ERROR [server] JavaScript Error!
Error Number: 2
Error String: User cancelled this action.
Engine: main
Line: 1428
Source: this.document.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, documentFile);
Interpreter: CS4 (6.0)
This happens even with a completely blank document. It works fine if I export JPGs or an INDD file from the same file. I'm guessing this is due to the watermark that Developer Edition places on every page. I'm fine with that, but not actually being able to export an X-1a PDF makes testing quite tricky.
Any suggestions?

I get the same thing:
    private void exportPDF(Document document, PDFType pdfType) throws IdsException {
        String pdfPath = this.outputPrefix + pdfType.getFileEnding();
        getApplication().getPDFExportPreferences().setPageRange(buildExportPageRange(document));
        document.doExport(VariableTypeUtils.createString("Adobe PDF"),
                pdfPath,
                OptArg.makePDFExportPreset(getPDFExportPreset(document, pdfType)),
                OptArg.noBoolean(),
                OptArg.noString(),
                OptArg.makeBoolean(true));
        addExportedPreview(pdfPath);
        log.debug("Exported PDF: " + pdfPath);
    private PDFExportPreset getPDFExportPreset(Document document, PDFType pdfType) throws IdsException {
        Application application = getApplication();
        PDFExportPreset preset = application.getNamedChildPDFExportPreset(pdfType.getExportPresetName());
        preset.setCropMarks(pdfType.isCropMarks());
        preset.setUseDocumentBleedWithPDF(pdfType.isBleed());
        if (pdfType.isBleed() || pdfType.isCropMarks()) {
            preset.setPageMarksOffset(UnitConverter.toUnit(getPageMarksOffset(document)));
        } else {
            preset.setPageMarksOffset(UnitConverter.toUnit(Length.zero()));
        return preset;
Editing the profile to use none for standard compliance allows the export of the PDF.

How can I create a keyboard shortcut to export to pdf in Pages for Mac

Can anyone explain how to create a keyboard shortcut that works in pages?

Reluctant as I am to contradict Viking OS X, yes it is possible.
This is for Yosemite, it is slightly different in other versions of OS X.
Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > + > Applications > Pages > Menu Title: PDF… > Keyboard Shortcut > hold down whatever combination you want > Add
As Viking says this won't choose Good, Better, Best but at least it gets you to that point. Unfortunately it always defaults to Good.
NB that PDF… has to be typed with ALL CAPS and the ellipsis is option ; or copy from here. It has to be literally what is in the menu.
You could make a more intelligent keyboard shortcut with 3rd party Apps like Spark [free] or QuicKeys or iKey or Shortcuts for Mac or Keyboard Maestro.

Certificate error connecting to VPN, can not validate server

Used the configuration utility to configure a profile for VPN using certificate as authentication. Keep getting error, can not validate server. When I export the cert to my desktop, I see the CRL information in it. When I view the details of the cert after installing on the iPad, I don't see any CRL information. I'm guessing this may be the problem only not sure how to resolve it.

solved the problem by adding an additional attribute in the certificate request to the VPN server (cisco router) and first enable the server SubjectAltName CA
In CA server:
certutil -setreg policy\EditFlags +EDITF_ATTRIBUTESUBJECTALTNAME2
certutil -setreg policy\SubjectAltName enabled
certutil -setreg policy\SubjectAltName2 enabled
net stop certsvc
net start certsvc
In certificate request for VPN server:
In the Attributes box, type the desired SAN attributes. SAN attributes take the following form:
san:dns=dns.name[&dns=dns.name]/san:ipaddress=x.x.x.x
(external dns/ip)

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.

Noobie Mistake? Export to pdf InDesign Server CS3

Hi,
I'm trying to export my open document on InDesign Server CS3 to pdf, but it isn't working.
I can open, make changes and save, but when it comes to exporting it gives an error:
"An exception occurred when executing a COM method.
The cause of this exception was that: AutomationException: 0x0 - The specified object does not support the desired export format. in 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 Server\InDesignServer.exe'."
Here is my code below. I've tried the export code for pdf with inverted comma's as well, no luck. All the sample scripts do it in this fashion, am I missing something?
Any help much appreciated.
myInDesignServer = CreateObject("COM", "InDesignServer.Application.CS3");
myDocument = myInDesignServer.Open("C:\artwork\my_file.indd");
myDocument.Export(1952403524, "C:\artwork\my_pdf.pdf");
myDocument.close();

Hello Brett,
I have done some COM programming with IndesignServer CS3 using C#, here is is the way I do a pdf export:
doc.Export(idExportFormat.idPDFType, @"C:\indesignTestFile.pdf", false, "[High Quality Print]", "Some Comment", true);
Notice the first argument: the enumeration which specifies the file type and the fourth argument which is the name of an Adobe Pdf Preset. This particular preset should already be installed on your CS3 server. You cant export to a pdf without using an export preset.
I hope this was helpful, Im no expert myself.

Request a .jpg image from Indesign server via script?

hello,
I have a scenario in which I am switching from using QuarkXpress Server to Indesign Server. With Quark Server I am able to request a jpg image from a quark Document. Basically, by providing the right parameters, I can get a JPG preview of what a picture box or text box looks like in the Quark Document.
I need to do something like this with InDesign Server. Is it possible to write a script specifying an Indesign Document and maybe a TextFrameID or PictureFrame ID and get a JPG rendering of it?
I know I can export the whole document as a PDF but I need to be able to get images of single textframes/pictureframes or grouped frames.
Does anyone know if this is possible or how to do this?
thanks in advance!!!
-Lloyd

Or maybe the only way to achieve this (hopefully not, though) is to export the whole document as a JPG, and then find a way to programmatically crop the part I need based on the coordinates of the textframe/pictureframe (or grouped framed) that I need?
thanks in advance,
Lloyd

How can I use IClippingPathSuite in InDesign Server

The IClippingPathSuite can be used 'to apply clipping paths to the current selection'
However in InDesign server it is not possible to create a current selection. How can I use the IClippingPathSuite on specific items in a document with InDesign Server?

Can you explain what it is you're trying to do?
As written, your question doesn't make much sense. Are you trying to stream TO your server, or from it?

JPG export preset in InDesign?

Hi all,
Is there a way to save my JPG export selections as a preset? I have to export JPGs of the same document for two different purposes and they have different export requirements. Is there a way to save my selections as a preset the same way I can save my PDF export selections as presets?

I'm pretty sure it won't be your fault, but I don't seem to be able to fix it. Try this one but it exports the number of pages squared! For example a 4 page document gives you 16 jpegs, 5 = 25 and so on.
What am I doing wrong John? I added in this line: app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.EXPORT_ALL;
//Display a "choose folder" dialog box.
if(app.documents.length != 0){
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Choose a Folder");
if(myFolder != null){
myExportPages(myFolder);
else{
alert("Please open a document and try again.");
function myExportPages(myFolder){
var myFilePath, myPageName, myFile;
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var myDocumentName = myDocument.name;
var myDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"ExportPages"});
with(myDialog.dialogColumns.add().dialogRows.add()){
staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Base name:"});
var myBaseNameField = textEditboxes.add({editContents:myDocumentName,
minWidth:160});
var myResult = myDialog.show();
if(myResult == true){
//The name of the exported files will be the base name +
//the page name + ".jpeg".
var myBaseName = myBaseNameField.editContents;
//Remove the dialog box from memory.
myDialog.destroy();
//Generate a file path from the folder name, the base document name,
//page name.
for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDocument.pages.length;
myCounter++){
myPageName = myDocument.pages.item(myCounter).name;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.EXPORT_ALL;
//Modify the following to change the Resolution. Enter a figure instead of 300
app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;
//Modify the following to change the colour space. the options are:
//JpegColorSpaceEnum.RGB
//JpegColorSpaceEnum.CMYK
//JpegColorSpaceEnum.GRAY
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegColorSpace = JpegColorSpaceEnum.CMYK;
//Modify the following to change the jpeg quality. the options are:
//JPEGOptionsQuality.LOW
//JPEGOptionsQuality.MEDIUM

app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.MAXIMUM;
//Modify the following to change the Rendering Style. the options are:
//JPEGOptionsFormat.BASELINE_ENCODING
//JPEGOptionsFormat.PROGRESSIVE_ENCODING
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegRenderingStyle = JPEGOptionsFormat.BASELINE_ENCODING;
//The name of the exported files will be the base name +
//the page name + ".jpeg".
//If the page name contains a colon (as it will if the
//document contains sections),
//then remove the colon.

Just wondering peter what you think, instead of output to pdf you copy and then create create new file in photoshop and paste into that file. Is that sort of the same thing?
Seems to be ok especially if you enlarge the object before you copy it into photoshop.
I think what you are pasting (never bothered to try this) is just the screen preview, hence the need to enlarge. Why would you waste your time doing that instead of exporting to a high-res PDF?

Hi Ole!
This reminds me. I think your scripting documentation and sample scripts are too difficult. :-)
Likewise, I can't tell whether you're suggesting a workaround here or not. I've just got, you know, something hanging out with the right side at 38.768, and I want it at exactly 37.1, and I don't want to move the left side, and I can't drag the handle where I want it even if I want to, because it only goes to 36.934 or 37.226 argh, and I still don't have a way to simply put it at 37.1(00).
Failing that, maybe one of you wonderful guys will tell me how to correct this:

It says it was expecting a string or nothing and I hate to disappoint it, but I found that "thin space" in the dictionary and had the audacity to think I could use it. Which I suppose I can, somewhere, only apparently not here.

Hi Roy, Dave,
Actually, that's the difference between the resize and reframe methods in scripting, which mirror the difference between the scale x/scale y and width/height fields in the Control panel. But I agree that the Proxy version was better.:-)

I installed CS6 on my new retina MacBook pro laptops. InDesign and Acrobat display document pixilated. I ran the updates and it fixed Illustrator and Photosho, but not InDesign and Acrobat. What can I do to make them display in high resolution? HELP!

InDesign CS6 is not optimized for retina displays. You’ll need to move to Creative Cloud for retina compatibility.

InDesign server export .pdf, AND save .indd

Hey all,
Just a quick question. Is it possible to script InDesign server to export a .pdf to a certain folder location AND save the original .indd file to another folder location all automatically?
Cheers,
Steve.

Sure. I suppose the typical way to tell it where to put the files would be to pass the paths as parameters to the script and retrieve them with app.scriptArgs.get(). See the SDK for more info.
