Crash when exporting to RTF -Indesign CS4-

I am experiencing a crash each time I try to export a specific chapter of a book I am making to rtf format.
The original file had anchored objects (Numbered paragraphs) but since they are not carried over to the exported word file I have replaced them, so this mustn't be it. The text includes footnotes but no tables or any other demanding characteristics.
All the following have failed:
I have tried to copy and paste the text to a new document and then export.
Just copy and paste into word.
Replace all fonts with the system Arial font and then export.
Just select a couple of paragraphs to export.
I am using Indesign CS4 patched to the latest available version and have not installed any external plugins.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm working on Windows XP and the fonts were just system OTF Times New Roman and at a later time I tried with Arial.
I finally found a workaround in this by trial and error. It seems the problem was caused by a particular paragraph. Once this paraph was removed, the rest of the document exported fine. And with later investigation I found that there was an "index marker" imported from word on the original text that was causing this.
It seems that you cannot (as yet) export to RTF when your document is using INDEX markers. I made one just to test it and this happens for indexes created in indesign, too.
I hope this bug is fixed. Thank you for your help.

  • Indesign CS6 8.0.1. crashes when exporting a PDF

    I am having a problem with Indesign CS6 8.0.1. When exporting a PDF Indesign crashes everytime. Here is the crash report http://pastebin.com/qYu9cWwP
    I am on a mac running 10.7.5
    This happens with every file I try to export every time.

    I don't know what it means, but the crashed thread is making the same call: 511 com.adobe.InDesign.Print            0x17bf6703 GetPlugIn + 497427 more than 500 times. Are you exporting to PDF, or printing?

  • InDesign Crashes when exporting to InCopy

    I support several hundred InDesign/ InCopy users. We have been using this workflow for several years.
    Approximately a month ago, we migrated to CS5 (7.0.3). I began to immediately get support calls that InDesign and InCopy were crashing. A few of the calls were that InCopy was crashing when pasting text from MS Office, but he overwhelming majority of the calls are for InDesign crashing when exporting stories to InCopy. If exported one at a time, the stories export fine. When exporting all stories or an entire text layer of stories, it will crash nearly without fail.
    Our environment consists of Mac Pro 2x2.66Ghz and 2.8Ghz Intel Core Duo 2 iMacs running 10.5.8. with CS5 7.0.3. This is happening on multiple machines. A few of them have been gone over to verify base OS integrity, permissions repaired, DiskWarrior run etc… to make sure we did not have individual machine issues.
    I need resolution for both issues, but the crashing while exporting is so prevalent that my graphic designers are starting to really get aggravated.
    I searched the forum for "InCopy", for "export" and for "crash." None of those terms returned a single hit. I can't imagine those terms are not in this forum, so I am working on the assumption that searching must be broken at the moment.
    Thanks in advance for any guidance,
    Kevin

    Try posting on the InCopy forum. There was another similar report there...
    Did you fill out a bug report?

  • CS2 InDesign crash when exporting

    Hi,
    I've got a copy of CS2 InDesign at work that crashes when exporting a certain file to PDF.
    The files have limited information on each page except for placed PDF & JPG images. The images themselves seldom get above 300kb each, but there are lots - some times 5 per page in an 80 page document. It's a document to be printed so the images are as small as they can be.
    When exporting the document, ID crashes without warning - it just vanishes, no dialog box saying 'This application unexpectedly quit' or anything.
    Is this common? I have plenty of memory on the Mac, and no other applications or windows are open at the same time.
    Any suggestions as to why this happens?
    All text in the PDF images are outlined in Illustrator so presumably it's not a type recognition issue.
    Any suggestions welcome.
    cheers
    G

    Hi Bob,
    System spec is PowerPC G5, version 10.4.11. I'll have to ask our Mac expert
    if CS2 is fully patched.
    Cheers for your response.

  • Exporting JPEGs from InDesign CS4

    I've exported jpegs from InDesign CS4 for years and each time I get an Export JPEG dialog box that gives me the option to adjust the resolution. Suddenly, when I export to JPEG, I get no dialog box and it automatically creates a JPEG at 300 dpi. I've looked everywhere in Preferences to see if I inadvertently changed settings, but I find nothing. Help?

  • Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro

    Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro. I am queueing multiple files for export and Media Encoder will crash. The computer system has 32GB of RAM and the videos export fine in Premiere, but that requires exporting each one individually. Each video file is being down converted and some can be quite long (upwards of 3-5 hours). Nothing else is running on the computer that would take up memory.
    Any idea why Media Encoder will crash?

    Try turning off GPU acceleration.

    I also happens when I try to export movies with Motion 5.
    Does anyone have the same problem with my new iMac?

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
    find . $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
    Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

  • Is ILife 11 the current version today? Will its purchase upgrade my Iphoto 8.2.1 to Iphoto 11? I have a Macbook, Maverick and Iphoto is crashing when exporting photos.  I understand ILife is the way to fix it.

    Is ILife 11 the current version today? (May  2014).  ILife 11 on Amazon appears to be 3+ yrs old?
    When searching for ILife 11 on the Apple Store, I am directed to a separate purchase of Iphoto version 9.
    Somewhat confusing, Apple is always so clear with these things. 
    The goal is to upgrade my Iphoto 8.2.1 to Iphoto 11.
    I have a Macbook Pro, Maverick 10.9.2 and Iphoto is crashing when exporting photos. 
    I understand ILife is the way to fix it.
    Thanks!

    The current version of iPhoto is iPhoto 9.5.1., and it is the latest version of iPhoto '11.
    If you are running Mavericks 10.9.2, you can buy iPhoto 9.5.1 from the AppStore - it is the currently sold version.
    The iLife bundle is called iLife '11, and the iPhot version in iLife '11 is iPhoto 9.x.x. - that is confusing allright
    I have a Macbook Pro, Maverick 10.9.2 and Iphoto is crashing when exporting photos.
    While it is certainly useful to upgrade to the current iPhoto version to be fully compatible with MacOs X 10.9.2, there may be a differnet reason for the crashes. Is there an error message with the crashes? When did these start? Did you import new photos or videos? Install other software?

  • Flash CS5.5 crashes when exporting movieclip for Actionscript

    Hello,
    My Flash CS5.5 crashes when exporting movieclip for Actionscript (select movieclips -> modify -> convert to symbol -> check export for actionscript). I think this only happens when Photoshop CS5 is open.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm using Win7 64-bit. The only open programs are Flash, Photoshop, and Firefox.

    Oddly enough, I opened up Flash again, today, just to see if it was still the same, and it had worked. Everything seemed normal, I opened a new document and started working. Then, out of nowhere it stopped responding again. So I waited for it to respond, it didn't. I closed it from the task manager, and now it's back to the original problem of crashing when I try to create a new document or open an old ontrie
    Update: I tried the cleaner, as you'd suggested. Followed all the steps, but to no avail. Think it may have something to do with my machine, and less with the software?

  • IMovie 11 crashes when exporting to Quicktime

    iMovie 11 crashes when exporting to Quicktime.  Some people have posted that this problem disappeared when they upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion.  However, I am running Mt.Lion and it still happens.  If there is no fix for this bug, does anyone know a workaround that will produce the same ultimate result..namely, a Quicktime movie that is not too large to attach to emails.  Apple, please fix this.  Thank you.

    Update after two Apple iApps specialists spent 1.5 hours on the phone with me:  There are 3 "poison pills" (that we know of) that will cause the crash if any of the three is part of the movie:  Picture-in-picture, side-by-side, or a circle open/close transition. Otherwise, no crash.  The specialist made a movie on his own computer, containing the poison pills, but he exported to Quicktime without a crash.  There is at least one report in the threads of a problem like mine.  Thus, some Gremlin is causing this, in some computers.  The iApps specialist was curioius to know whether a lot of people have this problem, or only a few.  (If a lot, then it is worth submitting to the engineers to fix.)  He said if you have this problem, call Apple.  I asked if such people should post a "Me too!" on this thread.  He said no, better to call Apple and report it.  So that's the story.  I can live without those poison pills in my export-to-quicktime movies. I am just a consumer, not a pro, and I can live with it.  But it would be nice if Apple could fix this.

  • Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conv

    Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conversion!
    This started completely out of the blue last night. The export gets about 30-50% done and FCE disappears from the screen and the "FCE quit unexpectedly" message pops up. This has never happened before and I was doing exports of this very project all week. All other projects won't expect, the current project won't export when brought into a new file, I tried reinstalling FCE, and I deleted the pref files spoken about in the forum.
    Any Ideas!!!????

    Try repairing permissions and re-boot.
