CS6 fails to export to PDF - cannot find Acrobat

Running Windows 7 and have Acrobat X installed. Can open Acrobat. Tried PDF (Interactive) and get error that it cannot find Acrobat. Plz help.

InDesing does not require Acrobat to export PDF. Have you checked the box to view after exporting, perhaps? Can you export without that box checked?
If so, there's something wrong in Windows, I suspect, that it cannot find Acrobat.

"Content generation error. Failed to Export the PDF file"

Building a multi-folio in InDesign 6 Folio Builder V30. Received "Content generation error. Failed to Export the PDF file" on several of the spreads. I have tried reducing the original pdf files sizes, but that did not help.
Any suggestions on other possible causes or way to fix.?
thanks

I'm very new to DPS so I hope the following description makes some kind of sense.
My magazine is in the process of doing trial runs for an iPad edition. I'm setting some templates up for us to work off so the process from magazine to iPad will run a lot smoother month to month.
So far I've set up some dummy stock pages in an InDesign CS6 document, currently 15 pages long.
All images are linked and all fonts have paragraph styles applied to them.
I'm at the stage I want to check the document on my iPad to test run font sizes and their legibility.
We have successfully been able to export the document as a jpg file but we really need the PDF format. When attempting this we get the above message.

Export the pdf from indesign some error Pop Up window (Failed to Export the PDF file). How slove the problem
Please some one help on this

You need to try exporting the first half of the book.
If that exports ok then export the other half of the book.
Whatever half it fails on - keep dividing the book in half to find the culprit page or pages.
For example if your book is 128 pages long:
1. Export pages 1 - 63
2. If these Fail to Export then
3. try exporting1-32
4. If these Fail to Export
5. then try exporting1-16
If it doesn't fail (step 2)
Then export pages 64-128
and 64-90 etc.
until you find the pages causing the issues.

InDesign CS5.5 Fails to export to PDF

I can't get InDesign (Mac running OS X Lion 10.7.4 ) to export to PDF. It gives me "Failed to Export to PDF" with every document I've tried. I've created new documents to test, and still gives error. I've installed the newest patch (Adobe InDesign CS5.5 7.5.3 update for Macintosh - All Languages) but still am having the same problems.
Any ideas? I've searched the internet and can't find any solutions that offer any hope. Thoughts?

The last time we saw this, it turned out to be a font problem, but it could be a lot of things. Take a look at this other thread about failure in CS5.5:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4575362#4575362
Also, check to see if it works in a new user account, or if it works in the foreground (add the file to a Book, then export from the Book).

Failed to export to pdf - need help in understanding adobe advice

my indesign document failed to export to pdf, therefore I looked up the indesign help - see below; I could not find where to proceed after point 2 / would anyone help?
thank you
Solution 2: Downsample the images after export using Acrobat.
Choose File > Export and select PDF as your format, choose a location and click Save.
In the Export PDF dialog box, disable the image downsampling options.
Open the resulting PDF in Acrobat.
Choose Advanced > PDF Optimizer.
Set the downsampling options you desire in the Image Settings pane.
Disable any other options that are not needed.
Click OK and choose the name and location to save the file.

I'm going to assume you actually are unable to accomplish/understand step 2 as opposed to not knowing how to open the resulting pdf.
See screen shot - use the pull down menus under compression for Color Images, Grayscale Images and Monochrome Images - Select Do Not Downsample. Although, I think the Help file has you chasing your tail.

Keep getting conversion failed on exporting files PDF.

keep getting conversion failed on exporting files PDF.

Hi jfcobb999,
I'm sorry that you're having trouble converting files. Are you converting via the web interface, or through Adobe Reader? Do you have a large number of files in the root folder of your Files list on Acrobat.com?
Let's try these things for starters:
Clear the browser cache and try again.
Use a different browser.
Make sure that Reader is up-to-date by choosing Help > Check for Updates.
If you have a large number of files stored on Acrobat.com, move some of them into a subfolder.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Fail to Export to PDF

Running BOXI release 1 here, and I am trying to export to a PDF and get the Fail to Export error message. I believe the problem is in my use of a sub-report. The main body, w/o the subreport will export just fine, so I know that the issue is not a font issue. It will export correctly if I export it as a work document. Errors are Failed to export the report. Not supported. And sometime file not found.
Any thoughts?
-Dennis-

Hi Dennis
As per the description, the report fails to export to PDF after adding the subreport to the main report.
Please let us know the following information:
1) Exact version of Crystal Reports Designer.
2) In which section of the main report have you inserted the subreport?
3) What happens if you export the subreport to PDF format?
4) Create a new section in the main report, insert the subreport and then try to export the report to PDF format.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Numbers | Export to PDF | Cannot Print Exported PDF

I am having a heck of a time with being able to print PDFs exported out of Numbers. I have tried both the File>Export command and I have printed to PDF and printed to Adobe PDF. Once I open the exported / printed PDF files in Acrobat Reader and try to print them, Reader freezes after 30 seconds of ramping up its memory usage in excess of 300MB. The PDFs are less than a MB in size. I have been able to successfully print the exported / printed PDF files using Preview on a Mac, but the reason I need to be able to convert my spreadsheets to PDF is so that a colleague in another state can print them from a PC. Anyone run into this issue? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Is there a way to automate it such that it doesn't repeat the last row or do I just need to manually delete the formula out of all of the cells in the rows after the last?
There sure is. I was in a rush and made a mistake in my formula. I've posted solutions to this problem at least a half a dozen times here in the past and for some reason I didn't recall the bit that you are having trouble with. It came to me overnight that I had led you astray.
Here's a solution for the expression in the reduced table that I've used before and I'm pretty sure you will have success with:
=IF(ROW()<(MAX(Data :: E)+1), INDEX(Data, MATCH(ROW(), Data :: $E), COLUMN()), "")
Here's how it works...
The auxiliary column in the table Data reports the count of important rows. The reduced table searches for the count number in the Data table matching the row number in the reduced table. The Index function then transfers the data for the matching row. The problem in my posted solution was with the condition that limits the copying of rows to the reduced table.
Rather than checking the total number of rows in the data table, with an offset, I should have just checked to see how many "'important" rows there are by looking at the max count. The "+1" offset in the test is to account for the Header Row.
Regards,
Jerry

David Franklin if the download was previously available under your account then please contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care. If still available then the software can be re-enabled for download.
Once you have downloaded a copy of the installation files I would recommend making a back up in case you ever need the installation files in the future.

Bei in InDesign erstellten Elementen mit "Scherwinkel" und dem Effekt "Abgeflachte Kante und Relief" wird beim Export als "Pdf mit Transparenzen" (Acrobat 1.6) der Effekt nicht dargestellt. Bei Pdf ohne Transparenz (Acrobat 1.3) funktioniert der Effekt.

Mit welchem Programm betrachtest Du die PDFs? Nur mit Acrobat können sie zuverlässig dargestellt werden.
Die PDF-Versionen heißen PDF1.3 oder 1.6 und nicht Acrobat 1.3 oder 1.6, Acrobat ist das Programm, PDF das Dateiformat.
NEIN, das ganze in Photoshop zu rastern ist keine taugliche Lösung, Du musst nur das richtige Betrachtungsprogramm wählen. Etwa Apple Vorschau ist untauglich, PDFs korrekt darzustellen.

InDesign CS6 "Failed to export the JPEG file. File cannot be written. Disk may be locked or full."

I get this error "Failed to export the JPEG file. File cannot be written. Disk may be locked or full." when sending small (3"x3") and large (40"x60") files to a printer hot folder. Sometime if I close the program and restart it will let me export. What could be causing this to happen?
I am on Windows 7 with 4GB RAM PC.

I guess the printer is grabbing the file before it is entirely written…
Workaround: Do not save to a hot folder. Move the files after exporting to the hot folder.

Indesign CS6 crashes on export to PDF

This has happened to me several times in the past few months and it always seems to be related to an image file -- either an eps or pdf file that's in the document. Once I replace or remove the image, the PDF exporter works. The problem is that I cannot always replace or remove the offending image. I've contacted Adobe regarding this issue and sent them the files that caused the problem and they found no fault with either image. So why does this keep happening?
I thought it was a font issue, but the one document had no text in it -- just images. I've also tried the same file on my laptop (also running CS6) and the exact same thing happened where it crashed on export to PDF. I do not have any font managment software running on my laptop besides FontBook (whereas on my desktop I'm using Font Agent Pro).
I'm on a mac OS 10.7.5 using CS6 Design & Web edition.
Here is the crash report for the latest problem: http://pastebin.com/zLQG7GE1

Hi, and thanksfor your help. I have tried deleting the font cache using onyx.. Is there a difference between the files onyx deletes and the ones font explorer can access? Anyhow, that had not helped, but safe starting the mac did.. Indesign would export to pdf without crashing.
Now I have tried to figure out what is causing the problem by force quitting process using the activity monitor. And I am struggeling to find the culprit. It still crashes even after turning off almost everything I can find. I have attached the full list of my current processes.. Anything stick out to you?
To answer the other questions, I have no plugins installed in indesign, and I use no font manager. I have use indesign without incident since june 2009, and it kindof just happened overnight, no new software or font was installed that I can recall, but also to be honest I cannot remeber when I last exported to pdf, so I cannot rule it out either, but I am hopeful that I can get to the bottom of this with your help.
Thank you both so much for your help.. My hair thanks you. As does everyone around me.. :-)
