CS5 will not export to pdf, nor can I delete background tasks to close program

I haven't a clue as to why InDesign CS5 will not create a pdf file from a 12 page document that (to my knowledge) has no errors. This file is of a 12-page advertising catalogue that has already been sent to the printer, so there is nothing wrong with the file.
I want to create a low resolution version of the file for viewing on the web. The request shows up in the Background Tasks, however, nothing is happening. Plus, I cannot delete the background task.
I am using version 7.0 of InDesign CS5 on a Mac Pro Quad Core, running Version 10.6.8 of OS X.
Up until this point I haven't had a problem with InDesign.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Diane

Thank you Peter for your suggestion.
I finally figured out that I was working with a corrupt file. Go figure. No telling how that happened as the last time I worked with the file was when I uploaded it to the printer.
Everything is works perfectly in my InDesign software.
Thank you again for trying to help.
Diane

Bleeding background shape will not export to PDF

Hello everyone,
I am working in InDesign v. 7.0.3 and when I set a rectangle to bleed on all sides it will not export to PDF (using Adobe Acrobat Pro, v. 9.4.2) . That being said, shapes and text within the page all show up. Does anyone have any suggestions that might solve this very annoying mystery?
Thank you in advance for your help!
P.S. I should add that the save dialog box presents a desktop icon that does show the complete file.

No background at all? not just bleed not showing?
If it's restricted to this file, try Remove minor corruption by exporting
If it's all files, Replace Your Preferences

I purchased Photoshop CS5 for my windows vista operating system. I purchased a canon 7 D some yrs ago no problem. I purchased canon 7D mk 11 in December 2014. The supplied software will not work with vista. Photoshop CS5 will not accept canon7D mk11. Can someone please tell me how i process canon 7D mk11 photos ?????. (is it possible to bypass camera raw and open the photo straight into CS5 without using camera raw first. if so how do i do that. if not how do i process pictures).
Thank you.
Brian in the UK.

Photoshop by itself cannot process raw image data. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in was developed. You could try the DNG converter and convert your images to the DNG format and then the Camera Raw that you have would be able to open them. I can't recommend Lightroom because you are using Vista, and Lightroom 5 cannot be used with that operating system. It may be time for you to get a new computer and upgrade your software.

File will not export to PDF

I am creating an InDesign book composed of multiple placed PDF files. Whenever I go to export this book as a new print PDF, I keep receiving an error message that says "1 problem (1 failure) was found with a background task: Failed to export the PDF file." I have narrowed it down to one particular PDF within the book that seems to be causing the problem. However, I don't really know enough about PDF files to determine what the problem actually is. Does anyone have any idea what may be going on here or have any other things for me to look into to provide further information? Thanks!

Never mind! I'm not sure what the actual problem was, but after printing the file that was having the issue and re-scanning it as a new file, everything worked out.

Xcelsius 2008 will not export to PDF at ver higher than 5.3.2.0

At the begining of this process I was using 5.3.0.0. When I read posts about SP4 I decided to go ahead and upgrade. As soon as I did I could no longer export dashboards to a PDF file. After many deletes and re-installs I discovered that if I tried to upgrade past ver 5.3.2.0 the export to PDF would break. I also tried the trial of Presentation 2011 and had the same thing happen - no ability to export to a PDF. I have duplicated this behavior on two different machines. An XP Pro box and a Windows 7 laptop. The error I get from Acrobat talks about a trust issue with a document. I have a screen shot of the error.

Just found the answer on the BOB forum. It is permissions in Acrobat.
Go to > Edit > Preferences > Multimedia Trust (legacy)
Select the "Other Documents" radio button and highlight "Permission for Adobe (R) Flash (R) Player is set to . . ."
Then change the drop down selection to "Always"
After doing this I upgraded my software to SP4 and all works.

Table of Contents will not export to PDF

CS3: I have an InDesign Book with 10 documents in it. The first document is the Table of Contents which was created using ID's TOC feature.
When I go to export that document to PDF, it acts like it's working, but the PDF is not made. There is no trace of a PDF in the folder.
If I delete the Table of Contents text the file will make a PDF.
If I try to export the entire book, the whole process just crashes.
I tried exporting the doc to .inx (which I was able to do) and make the PDF and the same thing happens.
Of course, this is a 300 page book and I'm on a deadline...
The book also has bookmarks and hyperlinks throughout -- not sure if that would cause a problem
Thanks for any thoughts! Jodi

There are some known problems with bookmarks and CS5 as well. As far as I know, the 7.0.3 update won't fix them, but it does solve some other problems, so you should install it.

CS5 will not export to tape

First off, I'm running CS5 and Windows 7.
I have checked all the obvious setting, external device in playback setting etc. The communication is otherwise good from the computer to the deck, however when I export to tape I get nothing. On occasion I will get a single frame from the timeline coming through with no audio. The device control works fine and the capturing is fine.
Any ideas? I have found a few others online having this problem, but nobody ever replies with anything more than the obvious "check sequence-sequence settings-playback settings".

I only want to report that it is working for me and I'm on Windows 7 also - so don't give up hope - it's
very possible that there is some minor setting that needs adjusting - are you certain that your deck format matches up with your timeline format? By that I mean if you are sending HDV out - is your deck set up to recieve that and not DV or vice versa? Just a thought that came to my mind.

Flash CS5 will not export AIR 2.0

I spent a weekend developing an AIR app for a customer using the new Adobe Flash CS5. When I was finally ready to publish, I got this message.
"Error exporting the SWF file. Please see the error(s) in the compiler errors panel."
I am not really sure what to make of this error. I have no error in the compiler errors panel and it does the same even if i try publishing a blank air file. Anyone got an idea of why this is happening?
I am very dissapointed in Adobe. Steve Jobbs was right not to include this garbage on the new ipads and iphones.

CS5 seems to be coughing up lots of errors and crashes nowadays.
If you want Adobe to release some patches fro CS5, though, I'm appealing here and gathering up signatures for a petition. Complain here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/649242.

Firefox will not open a window nor can I uninstall it!

Firefox does not open when I click it. I attempted to uninstall it but when I try nothing happens. I have researched fixes, but it seems as if I actually have to open a window to fix it, which does not work. What can I do?

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I can not export a PDF to word. What should I do?

I can not export a PDF to word. What should I do? Do I have to cancel my subscription? Please answer me.!!
I already paid all!

Hi wishborne,
I'm here to help! Are you unable to log in to ExportPDF, or unable to convert files once you're logged in? I tried to check your order history, but don't see any orders under the email address that you use here. Did you perhaps sign up using a different email address, or sign up via Adobe Reader?
I look forward to hearing back from you. We will get to the bottom of this.
Best,

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.
regards,

Dreamweaver CS5 will not open

I just downloaded Adobe CS5 Design Premium and installed. Every application opens without problem except Dreamweaver which will not open at all. I tried installing again and that didn't work. I even tried removing all of my preference files, old Application Support files and even Library Application Support files. Uninstalled CS4 and CS5 and installed a fresh copy of CS5.
Dreamweaver CS5 will not open. It gets to just before the splash screen and stops. It's not hanging either, I can click the dock and quit the app without a force quit. It appears that the open sequence is missing something.

The "solution" you referred me to didn't fix my problem. Did it help anyone else with Dreamweaver CS5 and FileVault?
I'm sorry about that. It appears to have sorted out the problem for Jim Bloom, but as far as I know, he's not an Adobe employee (neither am I).
I'm NOT turning off FileVault to use Dreamweaver CS5, nor am I going to use it under a different user account. I'd rather continue using Dreamweaver CS 4 with FileVault turned on...
OK, if that's the best solution for you at the moment.
I just want them to work and I paid a hefty fee for this privilege. And, asking that this "restriction" to be documented by Adobe doesn't solve the problem. Nor does providing me a link to Apple support on FileVault that states:
"Because your home folder is encrypted, some tasks that normally access your home folder may be prevented."
I know what FileVault is.
The bottom line is, if other applications can be made to work with it (even Microsoft's), and Adobe has been successful doing so in the past, they should be expected to do it now. I think Adobe just overlooked something before the program was released and expect that they will address this issue promptly.
Maybe Adobe will. I certainly hope so for everyone's benefit. But, unless you have been on Mars recently, you're probably aware of the fact that Apple isn't exactly cooperating with Adobe to get Adobe products to work on the Mac platform. It benefits neither company nor their customers.
If it's an Adobe oversight, it's inexcusable. If it's a case of Apple moving the goalposts without informing the developers of software intended to run on its OS, it's equally inexcusable.

Safari 5 will not Save a pdf

Apparently since the OS 10.7.4 upgrade, Safari will not save a pdf from a google search page. Error message is "cannot export (file name)". Any Mac users know what is going on here? Firefox works fine. I've ;ooked in Safari and Finder prefs but can't find anything that would relate to this. Trying to download some Camera RAW tutorials. Bookmarked them in Safari, and later d/l in Firefox which sends them to Finder> Downloads by default.

For anyone else who runs into this problem, go to your hard drive's Library/Internet Plugins and trash the two AdobeReader plugins that have PDF in their name, then restart Safari. Many others have had this, starting with some Adobe update. It si probably not copnnected to 10.7.4, since one complainer was using Snow Leopard.
