Can't visualise text on PDF files exported from PS

PDF files exported from PS (levels included as we need them to be selectable) have corrupted text. When opening the saved pdf file, a part of text doesn't appear. It is usually starting from the second chapter of text. Any idea of how to solve this problem?

Hi Marco,
For now we have only fixed this in CC, but we are aware this problem also affects CS6 users and is a significant problem for many people. At this time, I don't know of any workaround in CS6 for this bug other than to break text up into smaller blocks or use another more text-oriented application like InDesign. While I can't comment on future releases, your feedback on this issue is important to us, and I can say, "there's always hope"...
If you'd like to discuss this further, or send us a file that exhibits the problem, please contact me directly. My email address is my last name @ adobe.com.

  • How do I link to Anchor Text from browser to PDF file exported from InDesign?

    I see that this question was asked previously but not answered:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3737541
    I need a way to link to topics (from an HTML page) within a structured PDF file generated from InDesign, i.e. one that has an interactive bookmarks
    panel, that doesn't break the links when the file is updated.
    In particular, I don't want to refer to:
    *  page numbers because the document will repaginate when it is updated, breaking existing links
    * named destinations that are numeric as addition/deletion of topics renumbers the named destinations, breaking the links.
    Is there any option in InDesign that creates named destinations derived from bookmark titles as that would seem to solve my problem?
    I have a similar need, but I have not been able to find an answer anywhere online, even after a several hours of research.
    I am on contract with General Electric to develop a UI Style Guide for an international team of developers. My client wants to be able to distribute the Style Guide as a PDF document, but needs to provide links to specific topics when submitting a "Story" in an Agile development environment to the programmers.
    Ideally, I would like to be able to create "named destinations" in InDesign such that I can provide the client with a list of URLs similar to this format:
    file:\\StyleGuide\Test1-20131024a.pdf\#nameddest=AnchorText-01
    However, I can not figure out how to create "named destinations" in the PDF file from the InDesign file in which I have created the Anchor Text in the Hyperlinks tab.
    Alternately, the client would be satisfied with the ability to link to specific bookmarks in the exported PDF file that have been derived from the configuration of the Table of Contents styles, but my research has led me to believe that it is not possible to hyperlink from a browser window to a bookmark in a PDF file (only to specific page numbers, search word lists, named destinations, and comments) as described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
    Having been using InDesign since 1988, when it was PageMaker, I would prefer to use it to provide GE with the most attractive deliverable, but they are now leaning heavily toward having me licensed with Madcap Flare, which has this capability built in:
    http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
    Please help me to find a solution that will allow me to continue using InDesign for this project.

    Follow-up post (solution is not available):
    I have just completed a phone call with Gaurev Sethi of Adobe escalated technical support in which I shared my screen to explain and demonstrate the desire to link from an external URL to a specific location within a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign. After 40 minutes, during which I was placed on hold a few times while he consulted with his team, it was determined that the desired functionality is not supported in InDesign and has been identified as a limitation of the software.
    In researching alternate documentation software that supports PDF export, I discovered that Madcap Software supports this functionality in its Flare product:
    http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
    Note that linking via URL to a bookmarked location within a PDF is not supported:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
    More about parameters that can be specified to open PDF files are available here:
    http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf
    Although the above link is for a previous version of Acrobat, I could find no evidence to the contrary in the current SDK documentation.

  • [CC][AS] Font errrors in pdf files exported from Indesign

    Hi,
    With this post I would like to ask for some advice on a problem I'm having exporting Indesign files to PDF using Applescript.
    I have a lot of Indesign documents, related to one particular client. All documents need to be exported to highres PDF using a preset.
    When I export a file to PDF manually, the resulting PDF file is ok. No errors are displayed when opening the pdf-file in Acrobat (full and reader).
    When I export the same file, with the same pdf preset, using a Applescript, the resulting PDF-file shows an error in Acrobat when it's opened.
    The message "Cannot extract the embedded font '....' Some characters may not display or print correctly'.
    I have this issue in Indesign CS 5.5, CS6 and CC. When trying it on a larger scale, 90% of all documents have this issue. When doing it manually, all resulting pdf-files are fine. I've double checked this with Enfocus Pitstop. All reports are fine.
    The Applescript code I'm using...
    tell active document
              export format PDF type to myFilePath using "SheetCmyk_1v4_IND4" without showing options
    end tell
    ... pretty basic code ... I've tried placing it in a try/catch block, but no error or exception is trown.
    The font refered to in the messagebox, varies from document to document...
    All fonts are present the document. No fonts are missing. I've cleared all font caches, multiple times, with no luck. All fonts are checked and are not corrupt or damaged. The Os x version i'm using is 10.8
    Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this issue?
    Thanx

    Hi,
    I've did a lot of test and changing the subset settings didn't solve anything.
    I was able to create a temporarily fix for the problem. Every time a file has to be processed, I quit and relaunch Indesign. By doing so, I lose 80% performance because it takes longer to quit and  relaunch the app, then to create the PDF-file. I went from a 3 second processing time, to 10 seconds, every time...
    I think a cache problem could be the reason.
    Does anyone know if you can clear the application cache using scripting, without quitting the Indesign app ?
    Thanx

  • Hyperlinks in PDF files exported from Numbers 3.1

    The new Numbers is slooowly starting to rock. The new ability to sort and rearrange ranged area is awesome.
    I work with PR and we make reports to our clients. These reports are delivered in PDF files.
    I have a serious problem with Numbers 3.1 and the hyperlinks included in my report - an exported PDF file. The hyperlinks seems to be randomly mixed up. If I press a certain link for a URL, the PDF might redirect me to the correct page or .. might redirect me another page from the report.
    When I work in Numbers 3.1 sheet everything works just fine, all the hyperlinks are opened correctly. The problem only occours when it's exported as PDF.
    My current procedure is to work in Numbers 3.1 and once a report is ready to be handed over to the client, I export it in Numbers 2.3 format and then export it as PDF - where all the hyperlinks work correctly.
    But it would be sooo much more professionel and cool if everything just worked perfectly with Numbers 3.1.
    - Has anyone experienced this as well?
    - Does any one know if it's a bug - or if it me who's doing something silly?
    Thanks for all ears.
    Jakob

    Hi Jakob,
    BlackPlum suggets: "Thankfully, I noticed that in the Export... dialog box, (from the File Menu), you can select "Current Sheet" in the Layout field (this field defaults to "All Sheets", it's easy to miss). So select Current Sheet, and voila, you now have a pdf with multiple pages (and clickable hyperlinks!)."
    Though my Export To ... PDF does not have such an option.
    Hope a solution will come soon.
    Numbers 3.1 with a very long table (will not fit on one page when printing) and two sheets.
    B2 contains  an active hyperlink.
    B32 contains an active hyperlink.
    Menu > File > Print >
    And on the right,
    Now click on Print...
    Now click on PDF (bottom left)
    Save as PDF
    Here is the PDF opened in Preview (zoomed out to make a smaller screen shot)
    Two pages .
    Both of those hyperlinks are active.
    Clicking on this one:
    takes me to

  • Hidden Text in PDF file generated from Ai

    One of my clients (an Ad Agency) has a problem with a PDF file.
    They make the layout in Adobe Illustrator them (to send the file to the newspaper) use the "Save as" menu and use the prepress setting.
    The designer use "Helvetica Neue" the TrueType that came with MacOSX.
    But for a weird reason one letter in the headline dissappear... this one>>>> "É"
    When I check the file in Acrobat 9 and X reports a "Hidden Text".
    Any idea what happen there???
    Thanks a lot

    "Save as PDF" occasionally writes internal links as external links (pointing to a file with the current PDF file name). Such links won't work after the PDF is renamed, even if the PDF is a stand-alone PDF.
    Try printing the book to a .ps file and distilling, instead of "Save as PDF".

  • Getting message while opening PDF file exported from InDesign

    Hi,
    We have created an interactive PDF in InDesign. In this PDF we have created 15-20 pages which are link together and next previous button is provided.
    We are using InDesign CS3 and PDF reader 9. PDF is exported for version 8 onwards. Exported PDF is working properly on our machine but our client is receving the following message on their machine if they try to open this PDF (they have PDF reader 8):
    "Please Note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, Please fill it in and print it"
    We have not used any kind of form in my PDF only internal page hyperlinks are given.
    Attached screen shot is given for your reference.
    Is there as way for remove this message so it doen not appear? I would really appriciate if anybody can help me out.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Regards,
    Deepika

    Deepika,
    The alert dialog your screen shot depicts will only display if there is some kind of form annotation present in a PDF that is not "Reader Enabled".
    Look closer at your 'final' PDF.
    A PDF, not "Reader Enabled", that contains any form annotations will, when opened by Adobe Reader,
    result in the alert dialog that you mention. A "hard wired" default.
    Note that the forms document message bar can be "off" by a selection in Adobe Reader / Acrobat Preferences.
    Select the 'Forms' category. Select "Always hide forms document message bar".
    Be well...

  • Can't Print PDF files exported from Pages

    I spent all weekend creating a 25 page document - exported it to PDF and it won't print at all. Sent it to 50 customers before I discovered the problem
    I used the same fonts and template last year in a document in Version 1 of Pages and had no problems.
    I can print directly from Pages and also no problems printing if I export to Word but not PDF which is of course the format I require!
    I checked the security setting in Acrobat and none are set so it sould be fine!
    Help!?!

    Can you open and print the the file in Preview? I found Acrobat Reader a little flakey with X and deleted it from my system. I use Preview for everything.
    Instead of the export feature have you tried printing to pdf? See if it makes any difference.

  • How can I hide text on pdf file?

    I have a few invoices that I need to hide/blur the values. How can I do that?
    Thank you in advance.

    There is not much you can do with Adobe Reader, except perhaps using the free form pen under markups, to erase some text.
    With Acrobat you could delete some text portions.  But to blur I guess you would need something like Photoshop.

  • XHTML code for a page break in PDF file exported from WAD

    Hi All
    I'm new to WAD and I have created a web template with several tables and charts
    I'm exporting these to a PDF document but I need to put page breaks in as I want to put a table and a chart on each page
    I'm not sure how to do this and was wondering if adding it to the XHTML code direct would do the trick but as I don't know XHTML code I'm not sure.
    Any help would be appreciated
    thanks in advance
    Sandra

    Hi Cook,
    In my project I had same requirment. But I didn't find any solution for this.
    I tried to implement the same using XHTML and java script aslo. but these are the functionality which we are using for web page formating not the not the formating of external output like PDF and Excel.
    So if you find any solution, then please share with me also.
    Thank You

  • Why can't I print out PDF files downloaded from the internet?

    Such as medical files, applications, etc. They just end up as an "error" in my printer queue. I have used four different printers and three differnt iMac computers. Same problem. What is UP? Do I have to convert it? Becxause, when I do -- and it so graciously "allows" me to -- it reformats and looks like a transmission from the nearest five year old. Thoughts?

    Assuming that you're talking about printing from Adobe Reader for iPad or iPhone, you either (1) need an AirPrint-enabled printer, or (2) (for the iPad only), purchase a third party app like Printer Pro from Readdle.
    Here's a list of AirPrint-enabled printers:

  • Why can't I "Save as Text" a pdf file received as an email attachment?

    I can "Save as text" a pdf file which I have created in my own computer (that is, it goes into MS notebook that I then can Copy and Save as an MS Word file) but not when I receive a pdf as an email attachment. (The file is saved, but it is empty.) Why would I want to convert my own pdf back to text? Well, in case I no longer have the original Word document I suppose, but the thing is "Save as text" works with my pdf, but not with those I recieve from others. How come? Thanks!

    Is this a scanned PDF? If so, it must first be OCR'd.

    If you already have a PDF document, ExportPDF can help you with this task. https://www.acrobat.com/exportpdf/en/convert-pdf-to-word.html
    On the other hand, if you have a physical document, you'll need to scan it into a PDF document first.

  • How to write a unicode text in pdf file

    Dear Friends,
    I am a beginner in acrobat pdf plug-in development. I was trying to write a unicode text (Tamil text) into pdf file.
    Using same api I am able to write english text in time-roman, areal etc fonts. But I am not able to write tamil texts.
    The code is as below:
            memset(&pdeFontAttrs, 0, sizeof(pdeFontAttrs));
            pdeFontAttrs.name = ASAtomFromString("Latha");
            pdeFontAttrs.type = ASAtomFromString("TrueType");
            pdeFont    = PDEFontCreateFromSysFont(                                        \
                            PDFindSysFont(&pdeFontAttrs, sizeof(pdeFontAttrs), 0),    \
                            kPDEFontCreateEmbedded);
            pdeText = PDETextCreate();
            PDETextAdd(pdeText, kPDETextRun, 0, (ASUInt8 *)buffer, _tcslen(buffer),
                                    pdeFont, &gState, sizeof(gState), NULL, 0, &textMatrix, NULL);
            PDEContentAddElem(pdeContent, kPDEAfterLast, (PDEElement)pdeText);
            PDPageSetPDEContent(pdPage, gExtensionID);  
            PDPageReleasePDEContent (pdPage, gExtensionID);
    KIndly assume that PDEGraphicsState and PDETextMatrix are set properly set, I am not pasting entire code to avoid complexity.
    Thank you,

    Dear lrosenth,
    I went through some codes/suggestions in internet and I found that I need to have cmap file and cid font file for the respective font since pdf doesn't support unicode fonts directly.

  • How can i edit a scanned pdf file in adobe 9 pro ?

    how can i edit a scanned pdf file in adobe acrobae 9 pro ?

    With Clear Scan you get the text replacing the graphics of text. That can be edited. If you do searchable PDF conversion, you can still edit (I think). However it is an edit of the hidden layer of text behind the graphic and does not show on screen normally.
    Usually the best choice is to ask the author for the original file to edit. If that is a copyright issue, then you should not be editing anyway.
