Displaced Pixel in a PDF X3 exported with InDesign CC 2014

If I export a PDF X3 and open the PDF in Acrobat there are some strange pixel errors in the images.
There are a few pixel displaced about one pixel in a vertical line.
If I export a PDF X4 there are no problems.
Is there anybody with the same problem?

Hi,
I've did a lot of test and changing the subset settings didn't solve anything.
I was able to create a temporarily fix for the problem. Every time a file has to be processed, I quit and relaunch Indesign. By doing so, I lose 80% performance because it takes longer to quit and relaunch the app, then to create the PDF-file. I went from a 3 second processing time, to 10 seconds, every time...
I think a cache problem could be the reason.
Does anyone know if you can clear the application cache using scripting, without quitting the Indesign app ?
Thanx
John

Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?

Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?
When I export a PDF from InDesign CS6 with specific margins, Acrobat does not recognize the Art box. (I have PitStop Pro 11 for page box view)

Thanks Steve,
We are exporting PDF's as you indicate. I see the same thing. The boxes are all the size of the original InDesign document. The PDF art box should be predicated by the margins in InDesign. When we had CS3, this worked great. Now, it seems that there is a disconnect between the two Adobe products honoring the page box size. I have contacted the Adobe techs via chat, and they had no clue what I was referring to. I find it mystifying that Acrobat can not interpret the art box set in InDesign as margins.

.PDF Files blurred in InDesign CC 2014. They will still work if I try to do the same in InDesign CC

.PDF Files blurred in InDesign CC 2014. They will still work if I try to do the same in InDesign CC. I prepare the original in microsoft word and save in a sub-directory as a .pdf. I then use the "Place" command to bring it into the document. Why does it work in CC by not in CC 2014?

Is it an InDesign only issue or does the problem exist when you export a PDF from InDesign?
Does it change when you change the display quality to high?
Why do you prepare a PDF in Word for placing in InDesign. Are you aware when trash comes in trash comes out? Place in InDesign text from Word and style it with Paragraph and Character Styles inside InDesign and export from InDesign a correct PDF.

Problem with Indesign CC 2014 and tables

Problem with Indesign CC 2014 and tables. The text rearranges itself when I delete or add something in a table; the footnotes to the text associated with the overlap even getting unreadable. Just click on the chain symbol in the window and everything is fine. Why?

How do I link to Anchor Text from browser to PDF file exported from InDesign?

I see that this question was asked previously but not answered:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3737541
I need a way to link to topics (from an HTML page) within a structured PDF file generated from InDesign, i.e. one that has an interactive bookmarks
panel, that doesn't break the links when the file is updated.
In particular, I don't want to refer to:
* page numbers because the document will repaginate when it is updated, breaking existing links
* named destinations that are numeric as addition/deletion of topics renumbers the named destinations, breaking the links.
Is there any option in InDesign that creates named destinations derived from bookmark titles as that would seem to solve my problem?
I have a similar need, but I have not been able to find an answer anywhere online, even after a several hours of research.
I am on contract with General Electric to develop a UI Style Guide for an international team of developers. My client wants to be able to distribute the Style Guide as a PDF document, but needs to provide links to specific topics when submitting a "Story" in an Agile development environment to the programmers.
Ideally, I would like to be able to create "named destinations" in InDesign such that I can provide the client with a list of URLs similar to this format:
file:\\StyleGuide\Test1-20131024a.pdf\#nameddest=AnchorText-01
However, I can not figure out how to create "named destinations" in the PDF file from the InDesign file in which I have created the Anchor Text in the Hyperlinks tab.
Alternately, the client would be satisfied with the ability to link to specific bookmarks in the exported PDF file that have been derived from the configuration of the Table of Contents styles, but my research has led me to believe that it is not possible to hyperlink from a browser window to a bookmark in a PDF file (only to specific page numbers, search word lists, named destinations, and comments) as described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
Having been using InDesign since 1988, when it was PageMaker, I would prefer to use it to provide GE with the most attractive deliverable, but they are now leaning heavily toward having me licensed with Madcap Flare, which has this capability built in:

Please help me to find a solution that will allow me to continue using InDesign for this project.
Thank you!

Follow-up post (solution is not available):
I have just completed a phone call with Gaurev Sethi of Adobe escalated technical support in which I shared my screen to explain and demonstrate the desire to link from an external URL to a specific location within a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign. After 40 minutes, during which I was placed on hold a few times while he consulted with his team, it was determined that the desired functionality is not supported in InDesign and has been identified as a limitation of the software.
In researching alternate documentation software that supports PDF export, I discovered that Madcap Software supports this functionality in its Flare product:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Note that linking via URL to a bookmarked location within a PDF is not supported:

More about parameters that can be specified to open PDF files are available here:

Although the above link is for a previous version of Acrobat, I could find no evidence to the contrary in the current SDK documentation.

Getting message while opening PDF file exported from InDesign

Hi,
We have created an interactive PDF in InDesign. In this PDF we have created 15-20 pages which are link together and next previous button is provided.
We are using InDesign CS3 and PDF reader 9. PDF is exported for version 8 onwards. Exported PDF is working properly on our machine but our client is receving the following message on their machine if they try to open this PDF (they have PDF reader 8):
"Please Note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, Please fill it in and print it"
We have not used any kind of form in my PDF only internal page hyperlinks are given.
Attached screen shot is given for your reference.
Is there as way for remove this message so it doen not appear? I would really appriciate if anybody can help me out.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Deepika

Deepika,
The alert dialog your screen shot depicts will only display if there is some kind of form annotation present in a PDF that is not "Reader Enabled".
Look closer at your 'final' PDF.
A PDF, not "Reader Enabled", that contains any form annotations will, when opened by Adobe Reader,
result in the alert dialog that you mention. A "hard wired" default.
Note that the forms document message bar can be "off" by a selection in Adobe Reader / Acrobat Preferences.
Select the 'Forms' category. Select "Always hide forms document message bar".
Be well...

PDF Tags Exported By InDesign Seem to be Corrupt

There seems to be a huge difference between tags created by Acrobat's "Add Tags to Document" and the tags that are exported by InDesign All of the InDesign tags seem to be missing the "Structure Tag" property after export, and if I try to move them between containers they either become normal or disappear at random. If I try to export from Acrobat to a text file, the text that came from InDesign never gets exported.
I'm currently testing the InDesign CS6 trial version.

It looks like the corruption is occurring when I try to append the InDesign PDF to another PDF. There needs to be some way to combine files though... this is so completely frustrating.

Missing content exporting from InDesign CC 2014 to Flash Pro CC 2014

Dear all,
to produce a larger number of similar animated swf's, I wanted to create all necessary text and graphic layers in InDesign CC 2014, then export as *.fla to Flash Pro CC 2014 for "bulk" animation.
Finally it should then just be a case of selecting the correct layers and publishing.
The problem: When exporting from InDesign to Flash, all layers are recognized but initially apart from the text layers they were shown as empty items without the content.
Rescaling the placed images in InDesign to be no larger than the final document helped to now also have the images when opening the exported *.fla in Flash.
I am still missing all other InDesign objects though, e.g. even a simple colored rectangular will not show in Flash.
Any help to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. Searching for it only brought up a couple of tutorials that do not seem to have this issue.
Best regards
Christopher

I think that it's just a bug in InDesign. It happens with CS6 as well.

A few Problems/Glitches with InDesign CC 2014 on Windows 7 and CC on Mac OS 10.6.8

We're experiencing some quirky glitches with InDesign CC on a Mac running OS 10.6.8, and with CC 2014 on Windows 7. I'll indicate which system on each problem...
Anchored objects disappear when anchored into boxes that are, in turn, anchored into text flow.
We publish catalogs and anchor all our images to the accompanying text so that as we remove/add products, all the text and images flow together. We have several instances in which we use a box to highlight certain products. In that box might be 1, 2, 3, or more products, each with anchored images. When we anchor those boxes within the main text flow, many of the images inside the box disappear. The anchors are still there but we can't see the images. This is happening on both systems.
"Replace" field disappears when selecting anything from the “wildcard/special char.” menu in "find and replace". Windows.
Shift click to unlock master page items bring background item to foreground.
In CS4 and 5.5, if you shift-clicked to release an item from the master page, the top-most item was released. Now it seems as though the item that is farthest behind gets released first, which makes it impossible to select any other items if that one is a full-page background. Both systems.
Double/triple clicking on a word to select it does nothing.
You could literally click for 5 minutes and it wont select anything. You have to click off the box, use selection tool then click back onto the box and then it will work. You can move the cursor a few letters away and it will select the appropriate line or paragraph but it did not work this way in earlier versions. Both systems.
Any suggestions, or is it something we're doing wrong?
Thanks,
Lloyd

The list of obvious errors and glitches and illogical behaviour in all Indesign versions is long. With newer versions, some items disappeared from the list, but new ones were added.
Best is to use the Adobe bug report form to let Adobe know in hope, they really read, care and someday do something about it.

Problem with Indesign CC 2014 (Creative Cloud)

I tryed to install InDesign CC 2014 (in a Mac) from Creative Cloud but the installation hangs in 17%... Checking the logs shows me that there is a problem with the file.
Here is a screenshot of the logs
If this is correct the selected text says that the file is corrupted...
Note: This is the unique app that give me problems... I have installed Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, Pro, etc. without any problem.
Any idea?

Can't associate INDD files with InDesign CC 2014 (Windows 7)

After updating to CC 2014, I noticed that my file associations for all my Creative Cloud applications were pointing to the wrong places. I assume this is because the new updates are actually different versions of the application and installed as completely separate apps. I was able to adjust my PSD and AI files to point to their new CC 2014 counterpart just fine, but when I tried setting the file association for INDD files, I noticed that the file type did not show up in the Windows 7 control panel file association list. So, instead I went directly to an INDD file on my computer, right-clicked, selected "Open with...", clicked "Browse..." and navigated to "InDesign.exe." When I selected it and pressed OK, it failed to change the file association. Repeating the process has not helped and now the only way to open an INDD file is to drag and drop it into the workspace of InDesign CC 2014. After restarting my computer, the INDD file type is now showing up in the Windows 7 control panel file association list, but it still is not allowing me to change the association.

No, I did not. I'm running the 2014 Release version of InDesign for Windows (see screenshot below). And as far as I'm aware, Adobe has not released another update to the 2014 release version. I used to have the older version of InDesign Creative Cloud installed as well (the version right before the 2014 release), but have since uninstalled it as didn't want or need two versions of InDesign. I may just try re-installing the 2014 release version and see if that fixes things.

Problems with InDesign CC 2014 tool palettes on an extended display

We have a Mac in our group set up with an extended display. With Indesign CC and before, we were able to move our InDesign tool palettes to the extended display, giving us a full view of our work on the main display. Now with the new upgrade to Indesign CC 2014, when using the tool palettes, the commands open on the main workspace display and the palettes will not collapse into each other unless you move them to the main display first. Can anyone offer help?

Ask in the ID forum and provide proper technical information like what Mac, what OSX, what display.

Export to PDF color problems with InDesign CC

Please help.
I am exporting an INDD file to pdf, and certain elements are not translating to the correct color. For example, I have a red box and some cyan type on a postcard, however the red box is showing up black in the pdf and the type is showing up white. Both cmyk swatches. The other cmyk elements are showing up fine.
And the strangest part is that when I was working on this file yesterday, this was not happening.
Thanks.

How are you viewing the PDF?

Blurry Interactive PDF when exporting from InDesign CS6

Hi there, wondering if anyone can help me out with this question,
I've created a new document in InDesign, with intent set to 'web'. I have set the page size to exactly the correct pixels that I need. I've inserted my image, which is 72dpi and the exact pixel size I need. Everything looks good, and seems to be correct.
Problem occurs when I go to export.
I'm exporting the PDF as 'Interactive', but no matter what setting I put it at, the finished PDF seems to push the final view by about 30%? and therefor makes the PDF blurry.
It seems a little crazy to me, as everything seems in place and correct?
Any suggestions?

Acrobat views files at 96 ppi.
You can see this in Edit>Preferences and go to Page Display.
Solution - I'd use 96 ppi images.

[CC][AS] Font errrors in pdf files exported from Indesign

Hi,
With this post I would like to ask for some advice on a problem I'm having exporting Indesign files to PDF using Applescript.
I have a lot of Indesign documents, related to one particular client. All documents need to be exported to highres PDF using a preset.
When I export a file to PDF manually, the resulting PDF file is ok. No errors are displayed when opening the pdf-file in Acrobat (full and reader).
When I export the same file, with the same pdf preset, using a Applescript, the resulting PDF-file shows an error in Acrobat when it's opened.
The message "Cannot extract the embedded font '....' Some characters may not display or print correctly'.
I have this issue in Indesign CS 5.5, CS6 and CC. When trying it on a larger scale, 90% of all documents have this issue. When doing it manually, all resulting pdf-files are fine. I've double checked this with Enfocus Pitstop. All reports are fine.
The Applescript code I'm using...
tell active document
export format PDF type to myFilePath using "SheetCmyk_1v4_IND4" without showing options
end tell
... pretty basic code ... I've tried placing it in a try/catch block, but no error or exception is trown.
The font refered to in the messagebox, varies from document to document...
All fonts are present the document. No fonts are missing. I've cleared all font caches, multiple times, with no luck. All fonts are checked and are not corrupt or damaged. The Os x version i'm using is 10.8
Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this issue?
Thanx
