Doc Pages09 export in PDF: No TOC ?

Hello,
I created a document with Pages09 containing a table of contents (summary), bookmarks and hyperlinks, everything works! When I export to PDF, no table of contents is created in the right column, only the thumbnails are available!
Pages09 is he able to create this?
Thank you for your help!

PDFOutliner ($5 on the Mac App Store) can **automatically** build a table of contents for your PDF. And it's easy to edit the TOC. Note that it works on the PDF directly, it doesn't interfere with the Pages '09 to PDF conversion.

When I export to PDF my ToC goes crazy...Any idea how to fix this?

So recently whenever I export a file in InDesign that contains a Table of Contnets to a PDF it does not export properly. When I open the PDF, the ToC text is all pushed to the side (off the page) and overlapping (please see screen shot)...The ToC looks just fine in my InDesign file. The most annoying part is that when someone opens the InDesign file on their computer and exports it, it works just fine (and their PDF opens normally on my computer). Any ideas? This is driving me crazy. Thanks!

Thank you for your responses! Unfortunately, I tried resetting my preferences but it did not change the outcome. I was able to get rid of the export problem when I deleted the tabs in the formatting (Thanks, Eugene)...is there a setting a can change that would make my computer export the tabs normally (when my coworker exports the same document she does not have a problem even with the tabs...)
Thanks!

Excel doc once export from PDF is all jumbled

I need help when I to the export from PDF to excel and I open up the excel document it is totally all over the place why is that?

You are not talking about Acrobat, but ExportPDF. Check for the separate forum on that by simply selecting the Adobe Community link near the top of this forum and in the drop down box select ExportPDF.

Hide a report in a WebI doc when exporting to PDF

Hi everyone,
I have a Web Intelligence document that has a "Data Only" report in it. This is a tab that is for the purpose of exporting the data in the report to excel without formatting and grouping in it so that the user can easily manipulate the data in excel without the need of cleaning up all of the formatted groups.
When I choose "Save to my computer as..." and choose PDF, is there a way to exclude this report from exporting into the PDF? Likewise if I choose to export to XLS, I need to have the tab (report) included in the excel export.
Thanks,
Chad

Chad,
There are two ways to run a report, either via Infoview (which around here we call that "Read-Only" mode), and via Java (or Modify Mode). So, the answer to your question is "maybe yes" and "no". Definitely "no" if you're processing in read-only mode. If you process in Modify mode and click on "Save to My Computer As", then also "no". If you click on the "Print" icon, then you'll notice a slightly different dialogue screen, and it is on this dialogue screen that you see more specifications in terms of pages to print and report, etc. So the technique would be to first navigate to the tab you're interested in saving as a PDF, then click on the Print icon, go through the dialogue screen, and once you click OK you'll get one more menu, asking to either "Open", "Save" or "Cancel". If you click open you're report (the current tab only) will appear in an Adobe screen and if you click save than instead of Adobe opening you'll just send the PDF right to the hard drive.
Hopefully this clears up the air for you and you can now see the options at hand.
Thanks,
John

After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work.

After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work. When I click on the document text, the only tool is the "move" tool. I can't edit or select text. Please advise.

Version of Adobe: Adobe ExportPDF (not Pro)
Operating system: Windows 8.1
Steps I am taking: When the PDF file is selected and opened, I clicked on Tools menu on right side of the screen; then I clicked on Select PDF file; then under Convert To, I selected Microsoft Word (*.docx); then I hit the box below that; and clicked Convert. I then see the message that says it is Converting to Export PDF Online. Then I see a link below that, that says Download Converted File. This takes me online to Adobe Acrobat .com, where, I see the command, Export PDF, and see a blue box on the same screen that says Select PDF Files to Export. I click on the thumbnail of the file I want to export. This brings up, online, a screen containing the file I wanted to convert to Word. Then, on the same screen, I click on the icon on the right hand of the screen that says Download. then I click on the box on the bottom the screen that contains the Word document I had wanted to convert. This brings up the Word doc. in Compatibility Mode the latest Word version, which I am unfamiliar with and which has a Picture Tools tab that I cannot escape from and I cannot get any selection tool other that the Move pointer, and I cannot find the Select text pointer to select any text on the page. I don't want this Word version and do not know how to return to the old version of Word that I am familiar with.
Can you help me, please?

Exporting a pdf into an editable word doc on iPad

I need someone to walk me thru the process to export a pdf into a word doc for editing on an iPad. Please?

The OCR is very dependent on the quality of the scan. You might try testing with various scanning options on a sample page. Typically 300 dpi is the minimum for OCR, but some folks like 600 dpi. If the page is clean, with no dust or other imperfections and the text is crisp, you should be able to do reasonably well. It is probably best to run the corrections steps after the OCR (looking at suspects) and editing appropriately.
The conversion to WORD should not be expected to be real clean in terms of retaining format. You need to look to using style sheets in WORD to simplify the format fixes. Then run the spell check and grammer checker (you might end up with a better document than you started with). There is not a lot more you can do with Acrobat.
You do have the options of ClearScan and Searchable Text. In one version of Acrobat, ClearScan used some strange fonts (not system fonts) that did not convert well to WORD. I was able to get a better result with Searchable Text in that case. I have not played with OCR that much, and so am just giving some comments of things I have run into.

Export PDF with TOC

If I didn't miss something important, it is currently impossible to add a table of contents (TOC) to the exported PDF that will show up in the sidebar of the Preview application. IMO Pages would be a great tool for publishing manuals and other documentation, but without a TOC in the sidebar, this is completely useless.
Is there perhaps any sort of hack to get around this? (the files are XML, so this doesn't seem entirely impossible). Anyone know of plans that Apple might eventually add this absolutely needed feature?

This is sound, but it depends on what you are trying to decide. The trouble is that the everyday enduser expects content to be searchable, but below PDF 1.4 there is no support for content structure and even if there is support for content structure in PDF 1.4 there are plenty of preparation processes that produce non-searchable PDF 1.4.
If - or should one say when - the operating system supports creation of searchable content instead of simply supporting Spotlight as a search service, there is still no list for these problems.
Funny response.
The PDFs generated from Pages are perfectly searchable. As far as I know, when we search in a PDF displayed by Preview, it's not Spotlight which does the duty. Same thing when the document is open with Adobe Reader.
The missing feature is not the search tool, it is the TOC one. It's not a huge task (it was available in the old printToPdf pseudo printer driver under Mac OS 9).
It's just missing because it is supposed to be useless for many of us. Is it really useless, is it really useful ? I don't know the response at statistically meaningful level.
To be honest, when I saw that there are two paths to create PDFs from Pages, my first thought was:
1 - Print in a PDF file generates a flat PDF
2 - Export to PDF is able to generate one with a TOC.
I was wrong but I didn't cry for that. I may live without this feature. Missing the search tool would be more annoying.

Hi,
Please open your PDF file in Adobe Reader then check the producer from File menu>Properties then let me know.I have seen the same issue with PDF file created by some producers.
Or you can send me your PDF file so that I can look at it.
Please use below site to share your file.

TOC does not include hyperlinks in export to PDF

I created an eBooklet in Pages, but when I export it to PDF, the TOC does not include hyperlinks to the pages. There aren't any signs of the TOC including links in the original Pages document, either.

The iWork '09 DVD can be had at Amazon. You will need to apply the Apple IWork 9.3 updater to bring the applications to their last revision, and compatibility with Mavericks and Yosemite. The help menu in Pages ’09 v4.3 has a link to the that specific PDF user guide. The Number '09 guide is there too. The Keynote '09 PDF User Guide is here.
Pages v5 documents are not directly backwards compatible with Pages '09. You will need to export the content as Pages '09. Since Pages v5.5.1 is lacking nearly 100+ features that were in Pages '09, you must take care with opening Pages '09 documents in Pages v5. It will filter out content that it does not support (e.g. linked text boxes).
Any double-click on a Pages document with both applications installed, will default to opening in Pages v5.5.1. Deliberate effort is required to open Pages '09 documents, either by the Pages '09 file chooser, or a two-finger tap (on your Air) to bring up the secondary menu that has Open with > Pages (4.3) on it.

InDesign doc exported to PDF won't print

I'm experiencing issues with an exported PDF from InDesign. More specifically, when I export the InDesign doc to a PDF and try to print, I don't have any issues, nor does anyone else in my office, however some of the people that I'm sending the document to are experiencing trouble printing it. They get to 44% flattened and then the printing process slows down, and then once it reaches 50% they get a pop-up window saying that the document can't print and the whole thing stops. They can print the first page by just selecting that page, however the second page cannot be printed this way. I have re-exported the PDF several times and these folks having the issues have cleared their browser cache, re-downloaded the document, saved it to their desktop before opening, and tried renaming the document as well.
What's going on here, and what can I do or tell them to do to fix this?
Also, updating their Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat does not solve the problem.

Hi, I was just wondering if you got the problem resolved. I'm asking because we are experiencing kind of the same issue in our office. Our Marketing Manager is using Adobe InDesign and exports her documents to PDF. These PDFs won't print in any of our printers in the office. It spools and then gets stuck and it actually makes our HP Coloured Laser Printer throw an error (error 79) and we'll have to restart the printer due to this error. We can print other documents and other PDFs in the printer so we know it's not a printer driver issue. In fact, we have isolated the problem to only PDFs exported from InDesign. Even if we create a blank document from InDesign and export it to PDF it still won't print. Really odd. We would appreciate if you could share your solution if you were able to fix the issue. Thanks!!

Pages crashes after exporting to PDF or .doc

This is a problem now that it happens everytime i use pages.
I'm working on a document and then I go to save a PDF by either Export in the File menu
or by choosing "save as PDF" in the printer dialogue
after it saves the PDF as soon as I go back to the pages doc the app crashes.
and asks me if i want to reopen cancel or send a report - which i have done.
this also happens if i save as .doc
maybe i have to reset the app?
this is making pages unusable unfortunately

There used to be a reproducible crash in the past with a footnote, if you deleted the text referencing the footnote without deleting the footnote and then printed/exported to PDF. However, that problem is gone in the latest versions, as far as I can tell.
Apart from that, I do not know of any definite crash scenarios.

AI graphic placed in ID CS4 doc changes when exported to PDF

Hi,
I'm attempting to export a 6-page ID CS4 document to PDF, and am having inconsistencies in how the graphics look once they're exported.
I am linking to the exact same Illustrator file when placing the logo on each page, but when I export to PDF, only two of the logo images come out accurately (like below):
The other four come out with an additional black and red outline (like below):
I'm at a loss as to why these outlines are appearing. Does anyone have advice on what kind of newbie mistake I'm making, here?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Laura

Thanks for all the help - I am definitely willing to work to find the answers!
Bob - I'm viewing the PDF in Acrobat Pro. I'm not sure how much detail you need in the export settings, but the Export Layers option is set to Visible Layers. I tried exporting with the other two options and the problem still exists.
Eugene, Peter & Jeffrey - I went to the Illustrator file and found some extra colors in there. I removed them, thinking that would solve it, but when I relinked and exported it did the same thing.
I just did a test print, and it actually prints correctly - it's just during the viewing of the PDF where the problem occurs.

Does Pages always compress(jpeg) tiff files in docs exported to PDF?

Title say it all really.
I would like to export a Pages 09 document, which contains high-res tiff images, to a PDF. I do not want the images to have any compression applied. Is this possible?

Yes, it is. Pdf if is a kind of image format but not in the way that jpeg, gif or tiffs are. here is what Wikipedia says about it.
Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to represent documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.[2] Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it.
For what purpose do you want your Pages document to be exported to PDF?

Export Grayscale PDF from a color InDesign doc

A much needed feature is a setting in the Export as PDF to export a color ID document as grayscale. I, like many designers I'm sure, often am asked to create a black and white or grayscale version PDF of an existing document. Right now I have to create a copy of the document, drop in grayscale images, strip out the colors and replace with tints of black. The other solution is to use Acrobat Pro to do the conversion, sometimes simpler, but not elegant by any means. It seems like it would only make sense to have this option available in the Export panel "Export as grayscale" or something. What do you think Adobe, is this doable?? I see a lot of people looking for it when I Google it.

The question is not whether it is doable, but rather whether any way it could be done automatically would be acceptable. Simply stripping off the color information and using the result often yields results that are very low in contrast with imagery that to put it mildly is not very pleasant.
Those of us familiar with analog black and white photography may recall that black and white films were designed to provide sensitivity to different colors in a manner that would yield realistic results. Even then, serious photographers often used colored filters over their camera lenses to further fine tune the results.
Those of us who often need to create monochrome images from color digital images typically treat each image individually to yield realistic and pleasing results.
Thus, be careful what you ask for. A one-size-fits-all conversion from color to grayscale for a whole document can yield very mediocre results.
