Character problem in LR4 PDF Book export.

I’m having a problem exporting a Japanese character in my PDF proof of my book. I’m using this character ( 間 ) in a number of different places and it looks fine in the Blurb book layout tool but it’s missing in the PDF when I export. Not only is the character missing but all of the text that follows it in the text box is gone too. Is there some special type of language pack I need to install for Acrobat to export correctlly?
I’m on Windows 7 64 bit. Using LR 4.1 release.

This is, unfortunately, a known bug (and is even called out in the release notes: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/05/lr41nowavailable.html).  Obviously this is a nasty one, and we're working on it.
Thanks,
Ben

  • Hi there. I having a problem with InDesign PDF interactive export. I would keep my text area style and not text area default style when I export the PDF. How could I do?

    Could you help me?

    Thanks for the answer Sumit Singh,
    sorry but my problem keeps.
    I create a simple text area and then trasform it in interactive text area, set it, apply my paragraph/character style and at the end export it in PDF (interactive).
    I open the file with Adobe Acrobat, but when I customize it, words inside text area have stylized with default paragraph/character style.
    How could I keep my style on export interactive text area?
    Thanks a lot.

  • Custom book export resolution problem in PDF - only 150DPI!?

    I've been using the custom book option and when it came to exporting my PDF I have run into a problem involving the undocumented output resolution of a PDF at a given size. The custom book dialog allows you to create a book with a certain size in inches, but this really has no real meaning since the resolution of that output cannot also be specified in either the layout option or the print dialog. For example is it 150dpi or 300dpi? From some investigation it appears to be locked at 150DPI.
    Now I would have thought that Aperture was intelligent enough to just treat the album layout (this is my assumption) as some kind of smart object, where the layout is resolution independent and the final output resolution can be determined when printing to a printer or PDF. In that case the dialog for the setup of the custom size is correct. However, there is no option that I can see in the print dialog to actually specify the output resolution; Aperture is left to its own devices to specify an output resolution, which is undocumented.
    I use a printer that accepts JPG or TIF files and I need 300dpi for an album size of 10x13 inches. This equates to 3900x3000 pixels per page. I am able to export to PDF in the print dialog and then used an automator action to export each page of the PDF as JPG and reimported back into Aperture 2 in the same action. In the PDF>JPG conversion option there is the ability to set the DPI to 300. That works fine and the resulting JPG images show as 300dpi (3900x3000px). When looking at the images though they look a little soft, which leads me to believe that my action was simply interpolating a 150dpi image in the PDF into 300dpi.
    So to test this, I noticed that if I exported just one page of the album as a PDF and opened the PDF in Preview it does indeed tell you that it is 13x10 inches (no mention of the pixel resolution though). So, you can actually reimport a single page PDF into Aperture and if you do this it appears that the actual resolution is 1950x1500 and that equates to 150dpi for a 13x10 inch layout.
    So there are two things that could possibly be going on here:
    1. The actual layout of the album is locked at 150DPI and the save to PDF simply takes that and exports a PDF at that resolution.
    2. The layout of the album is resolution independent, the size of the album (in the custom dialog) simply controls the aspect of the page layout, and the print dialog (save to PDF) is exporting as 150DPI as default. When I run my automator action (these are the Leopard PDF actions), the save each page to JPG action is up-res'ing the image to 300dpi.
    This is where I need help. Is 1 or 2 (or something else?) happening. Also, does the PDF save as JPG12? That too is undocumented.
    If number 1 is happening I may have to set my album size to 26x20inches to get a 10x13 inch page at 300dpi.
    If number 2 is happening I need to find a PDF/TIFF/JPEG print driver to enable me to export at 300dpi as the print dialog in not standard (and we don't get the nice 'save as' drop down where we could do other things. So far my search has led me to CUPS-PDF, but that still doesn't allow for resolution to be set: http://www.codepoetry.net/projects/cups-pdf-for-mosx
    Why can't Apple just figure this thing out correctly and allow the resolution to be specified by the user - what an oversight given all of the feedback requests for the custom album tool. We need 300dpi as a minimum as we can always down-res if we want.
    Any ideas? I've got albums to send to clients! Help!
    Thanks

    When you import any PDF into Aperture, I think it rasterizes any PDF you import to a 150dpi flat image on import, even if it was a high res PDF to begin with. But theres the thing, PDFs don't have dpi (as such). Any shapes or text is a vector so don't have a DPI as they'll scale when printed. The images use their DPI when they were imported from the program that created the PDF.
    So I did a quick test and put a page I made from Aperture in to Acrobat and ran a preflight check on all images to check the resolution. It came back at 349.956 ppi, so this example was over 350dpi.
    I've attached the screenshot

  • InDesign CS5.5 - Book export PDF - Folio

    Hi
    I have been noticed that the BOOK option PDF exported from InDesign CS5.5 is having issue with continuous page numbering (Folio). The merged book PDF is having repeated Folio in Running Heads, but the InDesign Source document has the Folios placed perfectly with page numbering option. Individual PDF created from InDesign document was also fine - no issues with Folio. CS5.5 update 7/7.2 is having the issue with Folio on Book exported PDF.
    Have any one of you faced these issues and solution - Please update.

    Had the same problem – drove me mad. Only one or two chapters in each book were effected. And because we did not spot this, we were selling books with the same page number all through a chapter.
    Solution.
    I found a solution that works every time, and it is quite simple. The problem lies in the Master Pages section. 
    The solution is to create a new Master Page (but not copying the previous Master). Copy details from a Master Page that works! Make sure the new Master has the same dimensions and indents as the old one.
    Then change all the pages in that chapter to the new Corrected Master. (A global change to all pages – easy to do). 
    Presto – you should have proper page numbering in the resulting pdf.
    Cheers,
    Ralph

  • Hi I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me. The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reade

    Hi
    I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
    The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
    This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
    What can I do?
    thank you a lot.

    There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
    - Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
    - Adobe Reader (free)
    Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

  • Adobe Captivate 5 - Problem with scoring with Quiz exported to PDF

    Hello,
    I have created several review quizzes that have been exported to pdf and uploaded to the internet. They are elementary school quizzes that are listed on a canned school web hosting site that only allows uploads in common formates such as Microsoft Word and pdf.
    I tested these pdf quizzes with no problems and from my  computers they still work fine; however some people are having problems with the scoring element. Some - not all questions are not tabulated correctly in the end review section. I have been told that the questions were answered correctly but the end review showed some questions as wrong or not answered. The quizzes are reveiw only and no reporting or LMS is used.
    Has anyone else seen this? I had a feeling that perhaps the adobe reader was at fault, but so far everyone is using reader version 9.
    One of the quizzes can be found here.. http://www.germantownschools.org/faculty/jwoger/4th_math_topic_1_quiz[1].pdf

    Hi,
    I have since my initial post been told that certain elements of the quiz slides are also not working. Correct answers have a sound clip that plays when the "correct" option is selected.  This is not working for some users. Like I said I have no problem with the pdf quiz from any  of the computers I use and don't know why it doesn't work for others.

  • InDesign CS5.5 Problem - Crash during PDF export (Runtime Error)

    Hello,
    I'm working with Adobe CS5.5 and have a problem with the PDF-export of some of my projects.
    The problematic projects are rather big (44-124 pages) with lots of pictures.
    The error I get during export is:
    [Headline:] Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
    Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\...
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information
    The program is not specified in the error.
    Export works fine for these files on my collegues computer with the same settings (hardware and software are almost a match).
    Microsoft Runtime Library was completely reinstalled without solving the problem.
    Any suggestions how to solve this problem?
    Thank you very much
    T.S.

  • InDesign CS5 - PDF Book Flow

    I am in the process of creating an InDesign book that is meant to be viewed as web-only. They are facing pages as the design requires the pages to be viewed side by side. There is a problem, though, with the chapters that have an uneven amount of pages. The page will not flow down to the next chapter, making for a very awkward-looking PDF.
    For example, the PDF looks something like this, wherein [][] is a spread and [ ] is one page.
    I would like to be able to click through the PDF and have it look more like this:
    Where all of the spreads are visible rather than having the few scraggling single-page screens.
    Is there a way to get the pages all to flow together once I export it to PDF? Will I have to manually go through each page in order to make sure they are spreads?
    So far I have modified my documents so that all pages start on page 2, eliminating the single 'cover' page, but the end of the chapter is causing me trouble still.

    Spreads are built in the PDF during export, so if there are an uneven number of pages in the file you will get one single page, or if you have an even number and start the chapter on a right page you will get two single page spreads. Acrobat will not combine pages.
    You have two choices, combine your chapters into a single file before exporting, or export as single pages and let acrobat display them side-by-side. You can control the initial display settings in Acrobat Pro so the book will always appear as two pages when opened, but you can't prevent a user form changing the display option after opening if you use the second method.
    You should think very carefully about your design and your viewers. Not all readers have young eyes or wide-screen displays. I personally find pages set as two-columns to be very difficult to work with on screen as a consumer, let alone having to look at a full two-page spread.

  • How do i synch my pdf/books to my library. I was able to synch my ipod touch purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.

    How do i synch my pdf/books to my Itunes  library. I was able to synch my ipod touch app purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.
    I am afraid if i don't get the pdfs into my book library, i will lose them when i update to IOS 5-is that true?

    thank you-i have to check into the authorization and the account-i gave my husband my old ipod when i updated last year so both at one time have been on this computer but as it stands, it only comes up with my device when i plug into Itunes.
    i don't think i have any restrictions for installing apps although my normal way of doing it is to download from the ipod touch. i did find that all i had to do was right click on my device name and got the message to transfer my apps and then they showed up in my library. Also when i clicked the synch checkbox i was able to view the ipod touch picture without it being greyed out. after all that i was able toupdate to IOS 5 successfully except my videos and podcast, and pdfs  did not come over. This confuses me since i had dragged them over to my library to make sure that i had everything in my library and on my device. Not a big problem, since i just dragged them in itunes from my library to my device but sometimes i wonder if i understand the big picture:)

  • How can I make a pdf book with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time

    How can I make a pdf book (single pdf file with several pages)  with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time. ( Or )how can I attach all those pictures converted pdf's into one pdf file which obviously results in to a single pdf file with several pages in it ?

    Adobe Reader on the iPhone is a PDF reading app. It's not a creation app.
    You need to get an app like Pages which is intended for page layout. It can place pictures from the phone and export PDF.

  • Problem with printing pdf

    IF POSSIBLE REPLY IN ITALIAN
    HI, i ve got a big problem.
    i 've to create an A0 page in vectorial pdf, which has connected different files: .psd files for the images with transparency, and vectorial .pdf for the drawings from cad.
    When i ve created my page, i export that in print pdf high quality.
    1° problem: sometimes it fails and tells me there s not enough memory
    2° problem: when print pdf is created, the plotter can t load it to print, it stops at 40% loading.
    there s a way to make an easy vectorial print pdf?
    using vectorial eps instead of vectorial pdf?
    using transparent tiff instead of psd?
    THANKS

    thank you for the fast reply Peter. Im working on an achitecture poster for my last exam, and it contains vector graphics sometimes overlayed on raster images.
    i don t like to use illustrator too, im using 3 programs already to create this poster. do u think .ai are easier than eps???
    i ve tryed to save new pdf without layers, but it didn t work. then i ve tryed to change pdf with eps on indesign, and now the print pdf saving is really faster. im gonna try to plot it and then i ll tell u what s changed.
    OH most important, i was drag n dropping pdf into indesign, and i read it s really wrong! so now i import vector eps to indesign ...
    Plot test...

  • Address Book Exporting ... the Case of the Missing Spouse ... ?

    … and missing children and missing birthdays, too.
    I have had problems customizing address labels, which I discussed in detail in a separate message, entitled Wonky Address Labels. In fact, I gave up on using Apple Address Book and decided to export the database, put it in Excel, and do some column merging to get a one-time solution to my label-printing problem for my Christmas cards.
    Yeah, sure I would … when Address Book will not export in anything other than an arcane address book file format.
    So it was back to this forum, to review exporting suggestions. Two seemed to be offered and I tried ‘em both; first, Address Book Exporter at:
    gwenhiver.net/applications/addressbookexporter/index.php
    and second, some special mail scripts at:
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    These were both fun to use and worked pretty well, producing tab-delimited text files. But neither will do a complete export of the database; they won’t export spouse names, anniversary dates, children’s names or spouse/children’s birthdays ( which I had put in an ‘Other Date’ field ) … nor, BTW, will they export custom fields.
    Well, if I can’t print custom labels with Apple Address Book and can’t export the full database, I guess hand-written Christmas card envelopes have a certain panache.
    Or, I suppose I might use my 10-year old Windows software that I run on Virtual PC.
    It would be nice if Apple would fix this Address Book exporting problem. Frankly, I don’t like the idea of having data in a database that I cannot export as a simple text file. In fact, if I had known I could not get my data OUT, I would not have put it IN to start with.
    Any suggestions for exporting ALL the fields of the Apple Address Book database would be welcome.
    DICK

    value = value;Oh, so you have one of those new compilers that reads your mind and knows which value is which in that statement, huh?
    Lucky.
    The rest of us are stuck doing this.value = value;so that the compiler can distinguish the member variable from the method parameter.

  • Line art problem outputting to pdf

    I have a problem with exporting pages of a magazine going to print as pdf, relating to line art placed on the page as a bitmap tiff (typically at 1200 ppi). At present I have a workaround for an annoying problem that really needs clearing up ...
    I'm using CS4 InDesign and Acrobat (files prepared in Photoshop). So, high-res bitmap tiff containing line art sized (that is, just placed - no resizing in Indesign) and placed in Indesign, looks fine on the page. Output to pdf using 'export' and the resulting file, when viewed on screen, has a thin line down the right-hand edge of any and all bitmap files.
    To ensure no misunderstanding, the 'bitmap' reference is what Photoshop calls it - a bilevel file with black lines in it, which enables me easily to overlay other files such as a photo (because the file is black/transparent) and assign a colour or tint to the bitmap, or even a drop shadow etc. I've used this workflow for years, from Photoshop through Indesign, but the latter always gives me this line on the right edge, in the pdf. It did this in CS3 Indesign/Acrobat as well (but never in Pagemaker).
    My workaround is to lay a white-filled box over the edge of the file, thus masking it. But of course, that also limits me to where I can place the file - not easily on a graded tint background, not on a photo and so on. So I'd like to solve this.
    Any ideas? OS is Win XP Pro (all updates applied to this and the CS programs - I don't believe they make a difference to this problem, as it has existed through several iterations of both OS and CS).
    Anyone else seen this effect? Or is it just me? And has anyone a potential solution?
    Chris

    I think by reason of not knowing what else I can do, I'm heading to the same conclusion - put up with it! I'll certainly try sending a line to print and see if it appears, but for on-screen stuff, I think I have to stick with the safe workaround I use and accept the layout limitations. (Or resort to Pagemaker for the pages that I just cannot do otherwise.)
    Seems to me, if people have reported this for years, Adobe might have tried sorting it out. On screen or not, it still must be due to *something* in the file and/or Acrobat/Distiller to allow it to appear. If I create a white greyscale tiff with the same resolution etc, and place it on a page, there's no line down the edge on output - just a white page with a white (invisible) box. If I do this with an 'empty' bitmap file, a line appears ... Both files created in Adobe programs, so it's not me as a user ...
    Just me whinging! I'm really coming from the angle that if this is indeed a display problem, it can only be a display problem if there is something in the file for the display to react to (badly phrased that!).
    Thanks everyone for your support and ideas - I think that's me finished for now; I have files to upload and then sleep.
