CS6 pdf export problem

Hi,
I'm working on an 80pg magazine and I usually have to export certain pages on their own for client approval. It seems in CS6 I am unable to choose specific pages? in the PAGES input I chose 'Range' 'Custom V' then 'pages'.. but I never get anywhere that comes up to input a page number. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated!

I can't recall exactly where I read this, but my memory is that when you have alternate layouts, you need to use this syntax for a page range:
It's a form of section numbering.

  • InDesign CS6 PDF export problem

    I have tried to export to print-ready PDF a fairly straightforward A4 advet.  There's nothing complicated or unusual about the file - its based on ones we've successfully done previously.
    However, this one give me a 'FAiled to Export the PDF file' error - but nothing more.  I have tried restarting the Mac but to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    What Mac? What PDF settings? What fonts, paragraph styles, linked files, other fancies? You will have to provide a lot more info. in any case, ask in the ID forum...

  • Acrobat DC upgrade breaks CS6 PDF export?

    Installed Acrobat DC and now my CS6 PDF export function is greyed out. Happens with old and new files. CC 2014 works fine. CS6 has been working fine yesterday up until the point I installed Acrobat DC. Anyone else have this issue? I still have clients who insist on CS6 so this is sort of a pain.
    Working on a new Mac Pro.
    I asked this over on the Acrobat forum but they said the two issues should not be involved.

    There's nothing that an Acrobat installation could do that would affect InDesign functions.
    @Steve – I have seen one case where a not finished (stuck) installation process of Acrobat Pro CS6 on Windows removed all default PDF export joboptions files for InDesign CS6 as well. However, something more drastic like a grayed out export function in InDesign CS6 seems not to be realistic.
    I'm glad it was false alarm.

  • PDF Export Problems

    bei using interactive functions in inDesign CS5 and then exporting to pdf, I am able to see exactly everithing I wanted in AcrobatPro, but not in Adobe Reader. What can I do, so that anybody who uses Reader can see it too? Anybody knows?? Thanks

    What is it that you can not see in Reader: button behavior, rollover effect,
    hyperlink, etc. ?
    Wow, I am impressed about the fast reaction:-)
    The interactive function I am using (unfortunately in German inDesign) is
    "button" > Action: by letting go (?). It's a file with some 100 pages and
    some 500 links. Exported as pdf interactive...
    The effect In AcrobatPro: when clicking on the thumbnail the original
    picture shows in a separate window without closing the original file. After
    closing the new window, I could continue in the multipage file...
    This is not happening in Adobe Reader. It says: the link was not found, and
    here and then, when shown in e new window, the multipage file is closed...
    Hope this helps..
    Thanks Jaro
    PS
    I did reply on the forum directly, but no success. There trying via mail.
    Hope it works:-)

  • PDF export problem in Pages/Keynote/Preview

    I am having some problems with PDF exports (and "Print as PDF")  from Pages (as well as Keynote and Preview).  Here is my situation:
    I am creating a PDF of a barchart+legend from the program Mathematica.  I suspect the way the exported PDF is formatted is that the chart and legend are two blocks within the PDF.  This PDF opens perfectly in Preview and Adobe Reader, and imports perfectly into Pages and Keynote.  However, when the Pages/Keynote document is exported to PDF or printed to PDF, the resulting file opens fine in Preview but not in either the Mac or Windows version of Adobe Reader (part or all of the image fails to appear with a generic "An error exists on this page, please contact the author of this document to correct this problem" error message).  This also happens with the PDF is exported/printed as PDF from Preview itself - the resulting file opens fine in Preview but not with Acrobat.
    Any suggestions?  While I could reconstruct the barcharts individually in Pages itself, for the sorts of documents I'm working on I could easily have dozens of PDFs to import for a single project, and it's much easier to export the files from Mathematica as the analysis is done than rebuild each one from scratch.

    As far as I know, there is no provision for such settings in these programs.
    Developer documentation for ICC colour management in Firefox 2, Firefox 3 and Firefox 3.5, see below. Firefox 3 has ICC colour management disabled by default. Firefox 3.5 has ICC colour management for images within which there is embedded an ICC source colour space profile. It is possible to set Firefox to colour manage the application windows as well as images with embedded ICC profiles. The developer documentation discusses how to do this in what sounds suspiciously like a command line / terminal tool, and also how to point Firefox 3.5 to the display profile. This in turn sounds suspiciously like Firefox 3.5 is unable to talk to the system level service and ask for the display profile automatically.
    Camino and Opera ... I'll pass. I suspect it's more of the same mess.

  • SAP NetWeaver Portal Crystal Reports PDF Export Problem

    Hallo all,
    We are working with BO Edge XI 3.1 with integration on SAP Netweaver Portal. The problem is that integrated in SAP Portal CR reports cannot be exported to PDF or printed out.
    I am using an URL iview with the parameter sOutputFormat=P to run the report.
    When I want to print out the report I get the warning message from Internet Explorer "The download of files from this page is for security reasons blocked. Click here..." --> Download the file. By clicking on the u201CDownload this fileu201D the report starts to run again. PDF export doesnu2019t happen.
    Did somebody have the same problem?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hello Ingo,
    thanks a lot for Your help. I have already talked to my IT department and they are looking for the solution of this problem, too.
    Is there a documentation  about necessary settings in the browser to work with SAP NetWeaver Portal and Crystal reports?
    The problem is that on some clients the PDF export is working and on another clients not. The settings of IE seem to be equal.

  • Three panel brochure pdf export problem

    I've created a three panel brochure, using the Pages 2 template. I need to share this with Windows people (who will handle the actual printing), so I exported it to pdf format. It looks OK (and Apple automatically embeds the fonts, nice!). However, the printed version is slightly different, such that the folds don't work correctly (images and words cross the folds).
    The pdf export prints perfectly from Preview, but not from Acrobat, which is what the Windows people have. Printing to pdf creates the same problem. Anybody know of a workaround to create the proper proportions for a pdf export? Thanks.

    Stephen- Based on some other discussions I read, I did try printing to pdf-x. Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem.
    Barabara- As it turned out, Adobe Acrobat was not printing at 100% in either Windows or OS X. In the Windows print command window, page scaling was defaulted to "reduce to printer margins." This meant the document was printing at 96%. By changing page scaling to "none," the document printed to 100%, fixing the problem.
    Likewise, in OS X, Adobe Acrobat's page scaling was also defaulted to "reduce to printer margins." This scaled the page to 93%, which caused the printing problem. By changing page scaling to "none" the document printed at 100%, fixing the problem. Thanks for the suggestion, which solved my problem.

  • StarOffice 8 (Update 9) PDF Export problems

    I am using StarOffice 8 prupdate 9. I have been trying to export in PDF but I notived the following problems:
    1) When an 'area' (eg a basic shape) is filled with a color that is the same as the outline color BUT at a transparency level (say 50%) PDF exports this filled area with the same color as the outline and NO transparency.
    2) When I use connectors or Bezier curves, the bounding box of the curve overwrites whatever lies behind it.
    On the screen, none of the above problems are visible, just when I export to PDF.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks ....
    Michael

    Had to back out the patch. As soon as I did that, the spreadsheets all came back to normal. I don't have a StarOffice support contract, so I can't alert Sun to the problem that way. Not sure if Sun people ever read this, is there a bugreport address I can send the info to?

  • Encore CS6 Flash Export problem

    Hey There!
    I am having a problem with my encore CS6 flash exports.
    The DVD menus are shown the right way in the browser but, when I select a video to be played, the flash player shows me the video controls but no video. The background stays grey. I've tried exporting FLV and F4V and the problem is the same.
    It looks like the link in the XML is not good. The videos are in the folder exported by Encore and they play well in VLC. Do you have to edit the XML file to make this work? I guess not...
    Maybe reinstalling everything? Because from my perspective, it looks like it is an easy procedure and it should work.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    My specs:
    - Mac Pro late 2013 with Maveriks 10.9.4
    - Safari 7.05
    - Encore CS6

    The Encore structure puts the flv in a "sources" subdirectory under the level with the index.html.
    As long as the user has not modified anything, the path should be okay.
    Nicolas, confirm that the directory with index.html file also has a subdirectory called "sources," and that that is where the flv/f4v is.
    My suspicion for many users with a local, but not web problem, are having a local permissions issue.
    One user reported fixing a similar problem by removing odd characters in the filenames. The theory was that the characters were breaking the xml linking.

  • PDF Exporting Problem

    Hello everyone,
    I hope not all of you are as frustrated as I am with Numbers 08'. I have problems with printing the entire document and can't seem to find the answer on the Numbers 08' forum, so I hope that would be addressed soon.
    For my more imminent problem with Numbers now is that, when I export my document to PDF, the headers were all cut out. But when I print to PDF, it turns out just fine. But printing to PDF does not allow me to print the entire document to PDF, so I have to do it sheet by sheet and save each sheet with a different file name. Well, I am pretty frustrated with that.
    Numbers is a very nice app, but I am quite surprised that simple and essential functions like priting the entire document and exporting are requiring so much effort from the users. This is not impressive at all.
    Help anyone?? Please Thank you.

    Using the side bar drag all the tables to the same sheet. Check print View and move the tables around to make sure the pages look right for printing. Delete any unused columns & rows.
    The printing, pdf export and page numbers (in the page footer) works on a per sheet basis.

  • PDF export - problems with displaying tables

    Hi,
    I have nice and neat rtf template with some text and big table. It looks fine, but when I export it to PDF it starts the table from new page, not just below the text, which results in 75% blank page. How can I fix it?

    We are using the PDF Export 8.3.7 version, and are having a similar problem. We have a Word file (.doc) with an embedded graphic. Inside the graphic is a table (the original graphic was created some where else and had text and a table, then an image was made of that which was then embedded as a graphic in the Word document). The problem is that the table does not render corretly - the last row of data is not displayed. Oddly, if in the resulting PDF/A output you highlight the region where the data should be displayed, and copy that to Word/Notepad, the data is there, the issue seems to be in rendering the data to make it visible in the rendered PDF/A output. We see other problems with tables in other files, for example some tables are rotated ninety degrees.
    Will there be a fix to PDFExport anytime soon?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Encore CS6 Flash Export problem, Grey screens

    Hi everyone,
    I am having a problem with my encore CS6 flash exports, they are not behaving as expected online (seems to be like a loading issue).
    I've tried exporting FLV and F4V and the problem is the same. The same project exported from CS5.5 does not produce this undesirable
    problem. It may be important to say that the project was started in CS5.5.
    I have a button that links to another menu, and I am using videos as 'transitions'. The videos are dynamic after effects compositions.
    When it's online, and you press the button it fills the canvas with a  'grey screen' before starting the video transition. This totally breaks
    the experience and feels like an authoring error. It would be important to note, that this screens only appear the first time you see the flash.
    Somehow the next time you press it doesnt show it.
    I would happily go back to CS5.5 but I started using auto-activate buttons that are only available on CS6 flash exports.
    Any ideas what has changed between this versions flash exports?
    Any help would be appreciated..
    Thanks in advance,
    Cris

    Encore CS6 6.0.2.004, IE9, Win7
    Simple project, DVD NTSC, One menu with one button. One timeline. Menu first play, button linked to timeline.
    Output flash with flv (and again with f4v - same results), No template, keep with flash swf rather than streaming.
    Open index.html locally, must manually enable active content. Menu opens, movie plays. No grey screen.
    Copy entire folder to USB, same result; USB plays on a different PC also.
    Upload to web site; same result.
    Am I doing soething differently from either of you? Are you using templates?
    Factors related to flash security (for local and probably USB playback) can be problems. Various server settings can be problems for on line.

  • INDS CS6 - PDF Export at High Quality issues with Gradients.

    Hi all,
    We're noticing that on our PDF exports from our INDS instances we're seeing that gradients are showing up when the PDF is printed. You can visibly see the gradient lines. We have our INDS set for 'High Quality Print' and upon viewing the PDF in your browser it looks fine but when you print the PDF you can see the gradient lines.
    We've exported the same IDML's directly from InDesign to PDF to Print and the gradients do not show up.
    Is there a ExportPDF option we are missing on the InDesign Server that I need to tweak to make these gradients smooth and disappear?

    Marvin,
    The TIF file in this example consists of a repeating sequence of adjacent columns in the following configuration: 8 white pixel, 7 black pixels.
    This pattern repeats across the width of the file.
    I've attached one of these files below. Please try to view it at 4000% when placed in InDesign.
    (Please note that this problem also occurs with photographic images as well).
    If I then crop the attached file in Photoshop, re-save and place in InDesign it will preview correctly at 4000%.
    If I leave it at its original dimensions, but convert to a Gray TIF, it will preview correctly -for a while, but eventually also become "corrupted". As I mentioned in my initial post, I've had to use a Grey TIF to get the placement correct, then replace with the CMYK TIF version. Saving with and without LZW compression makes no difference. The fact that the Grey version works temporarily has got me confused. As it happens, for the moment anyway, a narrow width file in CMYK is previewing okay, but then in the past I've used TIFs just ~100 mm wide and had the same problem.
