Cs5 PDF saving issues

I´m having trouble to save files in PDF format... every time that i try to save a file in PDF photoshop (cs5) crashes, tryed to save in other file formats and works fine it´s only the PDF files that give me problems

Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

PDF Saving issue in Illustrator CS6 (Mac)

I have trouble saving Acrobat 4 compatible PDF files in Illustartor CS6. The problem does not affect every file I try to save, but when saving from AI to PDF, heavier files tend to be hard to save. I select the "Save as" option, click PDF, choose my location, then in the dialog with the settings I choose the ones I need and hit enter. A progress bar appears and after a while it freezes on about 80% and never moves further. I am running Illustrator CS6 on a MacBook Pro Retina, 2.6 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM, OS X Mountain Lion. I have tried reinstalling Illustrator, saving to a different location and changing the settings. the only thing that worked for me was saving a Acrobat 5 or 6 compatible file, but this is not a solution, since I need the Acrobat 4 compatibility for a client. Thanks in advance.

You can open the PDF in Acrobat and save to Acrobat 4 compatibility, either through optimize or preflight. I would also ask the client why they want Acrobat 4 compatibility.

Can a PDF saved from cs6 be opened in cs5 with layers intact?

I have a client who insists on receiving final files as PDFs saved as Illustrator Default with Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities ticked. This wasn't an issue until I upgraded to cs6. In cs6 I'm saving the native file as cs5, and then saving as PDF with the following options:
The client is able to open the PDF in cs5 but the layers are all flattened into a single layer. Is there way to Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities for any version other than cs6?

The only way is to downsave the AI file to a CS5 and export from there. There are too many changes from CS5 to CS6 for this not to happen.

PDFs saved in Acrobat 9 Pro can't be opened in 4...

I have some PDFs that I've created in InDesign CS4 and they open fine in everything. If I make any small changes in Acrobat 9 Pro, say just changing the Initial View, and then doing a Save As the new file will not open in Acrobat 4.
I'm greeted by the following error message:
"There was an error opening this document. Could not repair file."
I'm also experiencing scrambled text if I open the PDF in Preview.
I've also recently had a print shop that wasn't able to handle a PDF saved in Acrobat 9, but was able to handle the same PDF saved in 8. So I was just wondering if anyone else out there has been experiencing the same issues?
The details:
Acrobat 9 Pro (9.1.2)
OS X 10.4.11 PPC
Why does the PDF have to open in Acrobat 4? Well there's no real reason it shouldn't, plus I like to see what my PDFs will look like to someone using an old program that doesn't support transparency.

You need to use the optimizer to set the version you want the pdf to be saved as.

InDesign CS5 PDF - Failure to Export Vector Elements

Recently, we have had two separate incidents where the creation of an InDesign CS5 PDF failed to export certain vector art elements. The elements are not shared between jobs and the files were physically created in different locations (entirely different servers) within our organization. The elements are pdf and eps and appropriately linked. On the PDF, we're not even getting a low-res version of the artwork. When looking at the PDF in NEO, the containing box of the graphic is not present. One the most frustrating aspects of this is we haven't been able to repeat error in order to fix the error. The next time (or 50 times) the document is exported, the vector art is fine.
Has anyone else had a similar issue?

@rickphot
I've had this same problem just today. I have a 64 page INDD that when exported to PDF (print) from CS5 (with no elements on my page set to "non printing elements"), only some of my vector shapes get exported. They are all merely 0.25pt Black Lines used to direct a reader from a comment to a matching illustration, and some pages exported them just fine, and some other pages will not work. I've tried moving them to a new layer, cutting and pasting in place, copying and pasting in place, changing the transparency modes, etc...nothing works...EXCEPT to just redraw the lines.
@Bob Levine
Do you work for Adobe? Can you offer any advice to this problem yet?
Thanks all. Glad I'm not the ONLY one going crazy with a bizzare problem like this one.

PDFs saved in Excel, Opened in Illustrator CS2

I've had two issues to tackle, but recently figured out a solution for one of them. My other issue regards overprint.
I'm working on a 2-color publication. It seems that when i open a PDF saved in Excel, or paste an excel document, into an Illustrator (CS2) document, all my black is not marked to overprint, and this is an issue with my printer. Should be an easy fix, but these excel files contain charts with bars and other lines on them that break up into separate lines (and strokes) once opened in Illustrator. In order for me to mark the black with overprint, I have to use the Direct Selection Tool and select every single piece of black art and check "overprint fill" or "overprint stroke" or both! It's tedious work that I don't really have the patience nor the time to deal with. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? Anything I can do in Excel while printing to PDF or in Illustator to help alleviate this mess??

Select > Same > Fill Color
and Select > Same > Stroke Color

CS5:PDF(インタラクティブ)のボタン

InDesign CS5でPDF(インタラクティブ)を書き出したところ、
ボタンに設定したテキストボックスや、ボタンに設定した図形の上に配置したテキストボックスが
表示されないことがあります。
MacOSXの「プレビュー」や「Adobe Reader」では正常に表示、機能していても、
iPadの「iBooks」では表示されず、機能しません。
また、「プレビュー」や「Adobe Reader」でも表示されない場合でも、
ボタンのある場所をクリックすればキチンと機能はするので、
ボタンそのものは存在しているようです。
PDF自体に問題があるのか、ビュアーの対応状況によるものなのか、
あるいはたんに私の作り方が悪いのかわかりませんが、
原因として考えられることや、回避する方法などはないでしょうか。

If you are using Mac, press Apple + I to get the information. It show a table. There is a section call Open with. Change the file with pdf icon to open with indesign. If using PC, just click on the second button on the mouse and open with Indesign.

Photoshop CS5 pdf size fine - Bridge Multi page pdf size not fine

I know it must be asked a thousand times but here goes:
PDFs saved by photoshop display the true document size (let's say 70cm width on 72ppi)
When I try to create multi page pdfs fro bridge (thanks Adobe!), no matter how many ways I try to set it up, the image always is small in the center of a white background. Always.
What gives?

Hi,
1. Why dont u try it in pdf itself?
U can just crop the required area in pdf file using crop tool so it can be applied for all the pages at a time.
2. If u trying to remove particular area on a pdf u can place a white box on that area using pitstop tool it can be saved as actionlist like batch processing and applied for any number of pages and files.
Making this in pdf itself won't get u more file size. Size will be as equal as ur source file.

PDF access issue with OHS WebGate

Hi all,
The architecture has OAM, OID, Documentum server. OID is used as user store for OAM. Documentum application is deployed in WebLOgic server. There is a OHS server front ending the WebLOgic server where we installed the webgate. We are protecting the Documentum URL through OHS host name in OAM Policy domain and everything is working fine so far. While downloading a pdf document in Documentum server application, it is processing as 33% and hangs over for 5 mins and finally displays an error given below.
invokeMethod() failed while calling: onReturnFromProgress
Operation failed : com.documentum.ucf.common.transport.TransportException: Client failed to handshake with server within 250 seconds.
After closing this window, press the Refresh or Reload button on your browser to continue
I have seen couple of metalink notes about this pdf webgate issue and tried several options for webgate params CachePragmaHeader and CacheControlHeader.
Tried the following combinations:
CachePragmaHeader           private
CacheControlHeader private
CachePragmaHeader           novalue
CacheControlHeader novalue
CachePragmaHeader           public
CacheControlHeader public
CachePragmaHeader           novalue
CacheControlHeader private
CachePragmaHeader           novalue
CacheControlHeader public
Like this I have tried almost 9 combinations but no luck. Also tried disabling the IP validation. There are no errors in webgate or access server logs
Please let me know if you have any clue on this.
-Mahendra.

We're seeing an issue that looks almost identical to this but using Windows 2008/IIS7.x and WebGate v10.1.4.3. The PDF will begin download then it looks like a connection resets. We've tried it using PDF's ranging in size from <1mb to over >16mb. The results are consistent. On IIS turning off "http keep alive" allows the downloads to proceed (and probably diminishes performance to some degree).
While the workaround we found allows PDFs to download I'd really be interested in seeing what's causing this.

PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader

PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader - damaged file
iMac late 2009 8Gb 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo - Safari 6

I encountered the same problem and tried doing what Suzanne did by right clicking the file and saving it to the computer first and then opening it.
And then after double clicking the saved file windows prompted whether I want to open it with the newly installed Adobe reader 9.0 or with Microsoft Word. I chose the Adobe Reader 9.0 and clicked on the check box asking whether we always want to open this type of file using this program.
I managed to open the file and best of all is after that I was able to directly double click on the pdf email attachments to open it.
Seems like that we need to let windows associate the file type with the program first.

10.6.7 - general pdf creation issues?

I wondered whether anyone else had run into this issue after updating to 10.6.7 when using pdfs created by Preview - perhaps related to the pdf/font issue.
If it is generally happening, then the 10.6.7 pdf-font issue has an even larger
impact than previously described:
1. Open a pdf document in Preview
2. Select a region and save to clipboard
3. Save as a new pdf file
4. Then try importing it as a "Picture" into any of the new Office 2011 apps: Word, PPT, etc.
This crashes my office 2011 apps (latest version, 14.02) But NOT any earlier version of Office (2008. etc.), which may not do as much pdf checking.
Before the 10.6.7 upgrade (ie, 10.6.6), this never happened with Office 2011.
Acrobat complains when opening the Preview-created pdfs about 'missing fonts', so I suspect some sort of pdf creation issue.
Any fixes (besides the previously suggested one of downgrading to 10.6.6)
If it's a real bug (not just local to my system), then it's a more far-reaching one than previously described.

So, 3 different Apple tech support people say they know this problem affects
"multiple applications, including any that deal with pdf files" but that "no fix is
currently in the works"
That is wrong because it only involves OpenType Postscript fonts.
The only solution offered so far is to "downgrade by doing Archive & Install" and
then re-applying each Combo Upgrade, starting with 10.6.3 up to 10.6.6.
You wouldn't have to do that either. That is the point of a Combo update. You only need to apply the one you want. It includes all of the previous updates.

Ultrabeat Saving Issues

Greetings,
I did a bit of searching on this and other forums, but found very little on this subject. When saving Ultrabeat presets, sometimes the sample OSC has none loaded and sometimes, it loads a completely different drum (Taiko for example). Has anyone else commonly seen this error within Ultrabeat? I noticed that this only happened with my previous custom template, "pre" Time Machine + Airport Update. Also, I noticed that if my template already has an Ultrabeat loaded on Logic Startup, the same weird bug happens again.
In short: Does anyone else have Ultrabeat preset saving issues, and if so, what did you do to work around it?
I know this problem is elsewhere on this forum, and somewhat forgotten, but I want to start fresh on this topic, and hopefully get to the bottom of this.

We can only hope that Apple solves this issue as well. But when you think about it, where do they begin with so many problems to address?
The Apples will need all the luck and coffee this side of the World. I don't even know what to expect from their ever so popular "update". I'm calling apple today, but they'll tell me the same thing they always say......which is not much.
Oh well, less crying, more producing.
Time to man up. (RMIV)
Cheers

Can books/pdfs saved in iBooks be transferred across devices (iPad2 and iPhone4) with iCloud?

Can books/pdfs saved in iBooks be transferred across devices (iPad2 and iPhone4) with iCloud? My documents in Pages is on both the ipad and iphone automatically as soon as i connect both to wifi. The stuff in ibooks did not do this. Also- I am backing up my phone right now to icloud... it says must be plugged in, connected to wifi, and locked. So after I do this, all of my icloud-able contents will be available on my ipad??

You might look into using Dropbox for that. I use it between Macs but haven't tried it with my Phone.
