Dotted line is not exported correctly form Indesign to pdf

My dotted lines do not export as exactly round dots but with kind of "erroded" outlines. Has anyone encountered the same problem yet? How can I solve it? I used the "export for high res print preset". Thanx!

With "manually", Bob meant you cannot do it in InDesign (which must make it as good as 'manual', in his opinion ).
Using Acrobat Pro, all you have to do is open the PDF and start the Forms Wizard. It's the top item under the Forms menu. You'll be amazed at how well it does:
All I did was start the wizard and hit "OK"!

CS6 ID not exporting correct document size to PDF

I created a 6.25 in wide doc in ID, exported it to PDF. PDF printed doc at 5.5 in wide. I sent PDF file to coworker, who printed it to several other printers in office: same wrong-sized results. Packaged and emailed original ID doc to our local printer for help, who opened my original ID file and--without making any changes to it--exported to PDF and got a perfect 6.25 size! She had no idea why it didn't convert properly on my software, since it worked perfectly for her.
So, it's my software, and it's a recurring problem: I've created other PDF docs in the last few months that printed incorrectly. That's professionally embarrassing, especially since I make quite a few PDF docs for work.
Can anyone give me a clue where to begin to fix this problem?
Thanks!

If it is, I can't see it. It would have to be in the InDesign "Export Adobe PDF" fields (since the PDF printed improperly on several different printers). I've exported the file to PDF several times, systemmatically changing each of the settings (in the Compression menu and the Marks/Bleeds menu - I needed Printer Marks on this doc) to see if it I could identify the size issue, but nothing successful thus far. Are there other areas/menus I'm missing?

Devanagari font in layed out in Indesign (using IndicPlus) does not export correctly to a PDF.

Namaste InDesign gurus,
I have a problem at hand. Wondering if anyone has encoutered similar problem before? Any help is greatly appreciated. And if you're in San Francisco bay area - I can buy you a lunch :-)
Short description: Devanagari font in layed out in Indesign (using IndicPlus) does not export correctly to a PDF. All the ligatures are assembled and displayed in the PDF.
Adobe Indesign Version: InDesign CS5 Design Premium - regular U.S. version (not ME).
Steps I took:
I purchased CS5 Design Premium and also purchased the IndicPlus plugin to author sanskrit documents in InDesign. I create Sanskrit text using either of the following methods.
1) Itranslator
2) Paste the devanagari from the Itranslator directly into InDesign or paste it first into MSWord and then copy from MSWord and paste it to Indesign.
It doesn't matter how I paste it. After I apply the IndicPlus character/paragraph style so that the sanskrit looks good in InDesign, when I try to export it to a PDF. The PDF does not display the ligatures currectly. It just lists all the characters in order without assembling.
I've spent a lot of money buying CS5, IndicPlus and then I can't even create a simple PDF document from InDesign. It is very frustrating.
Has anyone been able to successfully export a sanscrit document from InDesign PDF ?
(Please let me know if my problem description needs more fleshing out).
I could create the PDF from MSWord directly but I'm trying to use indesign to layout my book. If InDesign cannot export to PDF I'll just have to use MSWord for my book layout. I've spend probably scores of hours trying to learn InDeisn and formatting my book content - seems like it is all going to be waste.
Is MSWord the best choice or only choice for laying out books that have sanskrit text in them?
-Ravi

Has anyone been able to successfully export a sanscrit document from InDesign PDF ?
Not Sanskrit, no, but plenty of Hindi, Nepali, Marathi, and other languages written in Devanagari script - so it should be possible. I don't even use IndicPlus, which by most accounts makes working with Indic text much easier.
1) Itranslator
I've never seen this, but a quick Google led me to the homepage of ITranslator for Windows, where I saw this:
Itranslator 99 (Build 1.3.0.86) & New Beta Version
uses 8-bit true type fonts and is compatible
with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
For more information, click here.
Itranslator 2003 (Build 2.0.0.38) & New Beta Version
uses 16-bit Unicode-compatible fonts and is working
only on Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003.
For more information, click here.
So, if you're using ITranslator 99, there's the problem - those "8-bit true type fonts" won't work in InDesign. Can you post a sample of the text you're trying to paste into InDesign? Name the font(s) you are using, both in Word and in Indesign, and if possible make a small sample of the text available for us to test. It's also possible that InDesign is using a substituted font, which could cause this problem. So, if the font name in InDesign has brackets around it, you know that InDesign doesn't actually have that font installed and is auto-substituting. Also, if you go to View -> Screen Mode -> Normal and the text is highlighted pink, you know that the font has dropped. (Unless the highlighting for dropped fonts was turned off - check in Edit -> Preferences -> Composition and make sure that "Substituted Fonts" is checked.
Also, for what it's worth, is there any way you could Place your text instead of copying and pasting? This may be cause of your problem - but even though it probably isn't, it's still worth a try.
Lastly - no, I've found InDesign to be superior for typesetting for almost all languages, but the learning curve is pretty steep, and many of the problems faced by people working in non-English languages are not easy to research when you have a problem.

Acrobat/Indesign does not export correct into the selected output intention (eci_iso_coated_v2_300)

I use the CS6 suite with Acrobat XI at windows platform.
When I want to save a file from InDesign as .pdf with output intention eci_iso_coated_v2_300 the result is a .pdf with more than 300% ink coverage.
I tried to transform the result in Acrobat XI into this standard output intention, but also the result has more than 300 % ink coverage.
What is the reason of this bug?
Before with Acrobat X this worked without problems

Hi Rob,
I was told the new way to work would be to draw files via Bridge direct into the InDesign file
and I thought automatically the color would not be changed.
my colourmanagement setting in bridge for the whole CS6 was ECI isocoated_V2_300
The Illustrator file was saved without color profile.
In this test file I used 3 kinds of black: background of pirate in cmyk 79,34 / 72,78 / 59,38 / 79,88 = ink coverage 291 %
DÜSSELPIRATEN in “black” (if you would convert this in the file with the cmyk button it would be the same ink-percentage as before
“e.V.” was set to 100 % k
I set the preferences for Acrobat from InDesign CS6 as pdf X4 with profile eci isocoatedV2_300 in three ways:
no color conversion
convert to profile
convert to profile keeping existing values
in all tree files the pirates background has 322 % ink coverage instead of 291 %
Why does Acrobat convert “black” in the wrong way? If I click in Illustrator on the 4c button to convert the “black” into 4c it is 291% ink
Acrobat should come to the same result with all profiles: iso coated V2 and iso coated V2_300
The same happens also by saving as .pdf X3 or .X1
The minimum what I expect is, that Acrobat reduces ink coverage for black to 300 %
I also made test with the new ECI profiles for laminated prints from 2012.
And with newspaper profiles
In this case the ink coverage comes below 300 %, but only when I choose convert to profile.
And then the 100 % k converts to cmyk, what I don’t want to have with text.
Is there no way to reduce ink coverage below a special percentage without changing Text 100% k
And is there a bug in Acrobat XI with the ECI IsoCoated_V2_300 Profile? For there is no color reduction below 300 % in all conversion settings.
I can’t test this with Acrobat X or IX, for my computers with this software don’t run with CS6 64 bit.
enclosed you find my files

InDesign CS6 plug-in not recognized correctly by InDesign

I have been trying to create a simple InDesign CS6 plug-in that writes to a log file as I'm opening & closing InDesign documents. SDK package had the LinkWatcher sample that I've been using as a reference when creating my solution.
Currently the problem is that I'm getting a "Adobe InDesign does not recognize mfindesign.pln as a valid plug-in" when I try to start up InDesign CS6 with the plugin. That isn't too helpful as it doesn't let me know where the problem is and compiling the code with VS2010 gives me no errors currently.
Relevant parts of the code can be found from https://github.com/crnd/MFIndesign/. I've been using CResponder as a base class in my implementation.
Anyone have any good pointers where & how to start looking for the problem? Or even better if someone can already spot the mistake(s) I've made...

This is a typical problem to solve, based on my individual experience on this issue i would recommend the following check points.
Check that your plugin is linking to correct version of libraries.
Check you are using the correct version of SDK
Look for the odfrc command line and see that correct flags are being sent as argument to it. Also that the correct version of odfrc is being used to compile the resources
If possible use the debug version of InDesign, it may give you more detailed error prompt. Like if the plugin you are trying to load is a release version, or the resources are missing.
See if the resources are actually compiled and the resulting folder is placed parallel to your .pln file, like very truly mentioned by Bartek. Pay attention to what the name of this folder should be.
Also makes sure that these resource folders are not empty.
Hope one of these steps does the trick for you.

Which functions and features in Numbers are NOT exported correctly to Excel?

I wish to know EXACTLY which functions I use in a Numbers sheet WILL FAIL to export correctly to an Excel or Neoffice spreadsheet.
For instance, I created a Numbers spreadsheet using prolific use of the IFERROR function. However, when I EXPORT to XLS, all the cells that used the IFERROR function were replaced by the literal value of the cell. My IFERROR formulae were not EXPORTED as I had expected.
I note that some formulae were converted correctly in my EXPORTED spreadsheet: eg MAX, MIN, AVERAGE.
I understand that IFERROR was a function introduced recently to Excel, ie in the 2007 version. Consequently, I suspect that Numbers exports to a pre-2007 version of Excel. If so, which version?
I have found this list that shows which functions are compatable amongst various versions of Excel:
Excel Functions: Compatibility Reference (2010, 2007 & 2003). (n.d.). Retrieved from https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsHau4_IeCfwdG45c0VhcjBBUGNreVo2ZzN NRU1BT0E#gid=0
This list shows that, for instance, IFERROR exisits inb both Excel 2007 and Numbers-09. So why is IFERROR not exported?
Curmi, J. (n.d.). Summary of function in excel and numbers-09. Retrieved from http://curmi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/functions-in-excel-and-numbers- 09.pdf
Some examples of my use of ISERROR in Numbers are as follows:
=IFERROR(RANK(C47,$C47:$J47,1),"")
=IFERROR(MEDIAN(C51:C58),"")
=IFERROR($C32-C88+1,"")
I use the above function to carry out the calculation ONLY IF a cell is non-blank and contains a number.
More questions
What are the rules that Numbers uses to convert to Excel?
Is Numbers converting to the 2003 version of Excel? ... or an earlier version? ... which version?
Why desn't Numbers advise me there were conversion errors or simplifications made?
eg: "Cell A33 Function IFERROR was exported to the cell value for Excel"
Is there a preference that I can select which version of Excel that Numbers will export to?
In the meantime, I must abandon Numbers and use NeoOffice!

Thanks,
I applied your suggested ISERROR transformation to examples such as:
=IFERROR(RANK(C47,$C47:$J47,1),"")
=IFERROR(MEDIAN(C51:C58),"")
=IFERROR($C32-C88+1,"")
However, a caution for young players....
Certainly, the ISERROR function exports to .xls. However, it behaves differently in NeoOffice.
Items 1 and 2 function identically in the case of say, ranking a row in which some cells are blanks.
Item 3, when translated using ISERROR to =IF(ISERROR(C32-C88+1),"", C32-C88+1), results in "" (ie error is raised) in Numbers but yields figure 0 in NeoOffice when there is a blank in either of the cells.
I recall from programming school in the mid-1970s that using GOTO statements and On Error branch statements were not admissible as routine programming steps. In fact, we received an automatic fail grade if we used a GOTO or GOTO like construction. So, I have found a more programmatically elegant way to solve my problem: eg:
=IF(C88="","",C32-C88+1)
Curiously, earlier I found/suspect this does not work equivalently in Numbers and NeoOffice:
=IF(ISBLANK(C88),"",C32-C88+1)
When you try using ISBLANK you always get an intuitively unexpected result because ISBLANK ONLY gives TRUE when there is absolutely nothing in a cell. A Formula reference in the cell, even if the function result yields "", gives FALSE... because, according to the definition of ISBLANK the cell contains a formula.
As I tell my students, ALWAYS lookup the HELP on any function you use. ALWAYS test the function to see how it performs!.... and lesson 3: Always test your spreadsheet on different systems.... then hope!
FYI:
Here's a link to my Spreadsheet (Neoffice .xls) and a video explaining its use.

Some XML customizing not displayed correctly in graphic in PDF form

Hello,
we have following problem: We want to create a read-only PDF with an integrated graphic with analytical data.
The PDF form is created with SFP. Data is extracted and the graphic rendered with the class CL_IGS_CHART_ENGINE.
We used SAP chart designer and transformed the XML into our string.
The graphic is displayed in our PDF, but some customizing settings in our XML are neglected, especially the font type, her only courier is displayed. Also some manual positions of legends don't work.
When I display the chart in the SAP GUI using cl_gui_chart_engine everything works fine, so I assume that the XML and the transformation is correct.
So where is the problem: Mime type? codepage? printing job?
Thanks and Regards
Andreas

Hello,
I would like to know what type of scenario do you use. Is that WD form? Or offline form?
Based on the type, you may find your solution here:
When you need to send a picture into the offline form: another image question - using Regular ABAP not web dynpro and Display a logo dynamically in adobe form
For the WD form: /people/bhawanidutt.dabral/blog/2007/11/15/how-to133-integrate-adobe-form-on-webdynpro-for-abap-and-deploy-it-on-portal
What MIME type (picture type) has your generated picture? JPG for example is ok, but for exotic types please check in your LCD (place Image on the layout and open the dialog for picture assignment, you can see the allowed picture types in there).
Regards, Otto
p.s.: What is the mentioned XML customizing? XML is the form of the femplate, but I have never customized anything IN THERE. Did you change the XML source manually? Or what type of changes are not managed correctly?

Embedded Quicktime not playing correctly in InDesign PDF - please help!!

ok - I have an issue that I can't work out and I'm hoping someone can help - tried searching for an answer to no avail. I've just built my first interactive PDF portfolio in InDesign. I should point out that I'm a producer/editor, so my knowledge of InDesign & Acrobat is not extensive. The PDF includes some embedded Quicktime movies. The movies play normally on one of my monitors (Samsung 1680x1050), but will not play correctly on my other two monitors (2x Samsung 1280x1024) - the audio plays and the play controller appears to be working but the video area is just all white...HOWEVER...if I open the PDF and play just one of the videos on my 1680x1050 monitor first, then all videos play correctly on all monitors. Have tried opening the PDF on another desktop and the movies do not work (in the same manner as above)- also tried on my laptop and the movies play correctly. Please help if you can - I need to get this out to clients and I'm baffled!! Thank You!

Is it as easy as wmode: transparent after shoving the swf into a table??? does the transparent option make everything outside the table dissappear? thanks...

Wingdings not exported correctly in PDF by Crystal Reports XI JRC in Linux

I have a report that contains checkmark and scissor character from Wingdings/Wingdings 2. The PDF file is generated via a program using Crystal Reports' Java Reporting Component. When I am testing it in my machine (Windows), the checkmark and scissors characters are shown correctly. But using our Linux Redhat server generates a "P" instead of the checkmark and a quotation mark instead of the scissors.
With the thought that Crystal Reports XI JRC do font indexing instead of subsetting/embedding, my idea was that there was no installed Wingdings font in the Linux server. I've replicated the case in my Windows machine by removing the Wingdings font.
With that knowledge, I've installed the Wingdings (*.ttf files) font in the Linux server and executed commands like ttmkfdir (as instructed in some tutorials). I've verified that in Applications -> Preference -> Fonts that the Wingdings fonts are selectable. But when I generated again my PDF file, the correct fonts are still not rendered correctly. Is there anything more I need to do for the JRC to recognize the Wingdings font in Linux.
Migrating to the Crystal Reports for Eclipse released last Jan 2009 is not a possible option.

First check is to ensure the Java JVM can see the font. The Java SDK comes with the JFC demo Font2DTest. Do the fonts show up there?
Note that the Java JRE has a lib/fonts directory, where you can place TrueType fonts that the JRE then would use.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Buttons on Master Page not exporting correctly

I have a interactive catalog in InD CS5 with vector navigation buttons on the master page in the upper left hand corner.
When I export this as an interactive pdf the buttons disappear. However if I copy the same buttons to different areas of the page they show up. Any ideas what is going on? (see images below, image one is the master page, image two is the pdf) I want the buttons to remain in the upper left corner, but it seems there is something wrong with the left side of the page.-?
Thanks for any help!

No Export options and Place not working correctly. InDesign CC 2014.

I cannot place a file into a frame with cmd+d or File > Place.
I get the preview on the cursor but won't place into a frame which I need to keep the frame effects and size options.
- Also -
I am not getting any options on Export - to change the output file type. Seems to be defaulting to PDF (print) in the dialogue box there is no dropdown.
How do I fix this?
I don't know how long this has been going on for as I don't use InDesign as much as other programmes but I am guessing since last update. I hate I am paying for this per month and have been sat on the phone and chat for over an hour waiting on a response. It is slowing my workflow down.
I am fully updated.

Kannada Language Text not displaying correctly in Indesign

Hi,
I am working on Indesign CS6, Windows operating system
I am having a problem in Indian language kannada, some of the letters are not correctly being shown in Indesign but the same thing in microsoft office 2007 is being shown correctly i have attached the sample documents for Indesign and office 2007 with the kannada language font.
These fonts works correctly in other text editors but not in indesign
Even I have selected the adobe world ready paragraph composer, but the result is same letters are displayed correctly
https://www.sendspace.com/file/bdbt99

@Joel – my guess here is it should look like this:
Just opened the provided docx file in TextEdit app without installing the ttf font.
The screenshot is showing a substitute font in TextEdit.
InDesign (with the right font installed SHREE0850.TTF) is showing 4 characters (or glyphs) for the contents of the first selectable "entity":
And also 4 charcaters (or glyphs) for the contents of the second "entity":
Unfortunately not all Unicode codes are visible in the Info panel. And that entity seems to be one "word". Don't know, if using the term "word" here makes any sense.
I wanted to know, what's going on and duplicated every single "character" of the two "words" or "entities" to a different text frame:
Still don't know what's going wrong, but maybe you can make something out of this.
How did I duplicated the single characters? By scripting in ExtendScript/JavaScript. I selected one "entity" (is it a word?) and ran the following script:
var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var mySelChars = app.selection[0].characters.everyItem().getElements();
for(var n=0;n<mySelChars.length;n++){
    mySelChars[n].duplicate(
        LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING,
        myDoc.pages[0].
        textFrames.add({
            geometricBounds:[0,0,"50mm","60mm"]

Event viewer filtered log not exported correctly

Hi all,
I have a very strange problem, or better, I'm missing something.
I can open the event viewer and there are many events in there (45'000). I can filter for the last 7 days and this shows me only 1925 events which is correct.
Now, if I click on SAVE FILTERED LOG FILE AS, I can save the file in XML or TXT format (or others). It's not important the format because the export is incorrect! What I mean is that once the file has been exported to a TXT or others file's format, it contains
just some events, in this case maybe 50-60 events, not more! The strange thing is that in that file I can see ONLY the events from the most recent day in the filter (right now the 14 of june).
Now the funny part: if I save THE SAME LOG as .XML, it doesn't show all the events, but more than the TXT file (in this case, it shows until the 2nd of june), but the last event on the filtered event viewer, is on 13 may.
I hope somebody can help me, and excuse me for my explanation.

Hi ripp3r,
Thank you for your post.
I test to save event log following your description with same result. When I save log to evtx format file, the log show correctly.
Then I find KB2417105 (for Windows 2008) to express that logs are truncated because the saving event log operation is not synchronized appropriately with the fetching-event operation.
When I installed the KB2417105, event log saved to txt file successful.
If your server OS is Windows 2008 R2, please install
KB981466.
If there are more inquiries on this issue, please feel free to let us know.
Regards,
Rick Tan

FLV content embedded in SWF not exporting correctly in In-Design CS6

Hi,
I have an FLV video embedded within a SWF file.
The FLV video plays correctly in the SWF file when exported or previewed.
When the SWF is placed into In-Design CS6 and then exported as an interactive PDF, the SWF operates normally (buttons and pages all working as in the original SWF) except the FLV video does not load at all.
Can anyone advise what's going on?
Thanks for reading!

Hello Joe,
That was a long posting, will start with the Buttons-question: can you check the action 'On Success' of those slide buttons? I couldn't see which version of CP you are using, it is in the properties. Default action is 'Continue' which means that the playhead will play further and finish the total duration of the slide timeline. Change this action to 'Go to next slide'. However for the Question slides you will not have so much control, sorry.
As for the audio issue, I'm a lot less sure, need to know the version of CP first of all. You have to be sure that all patches are applied (certainly if you have CP5). Sometimes it helps to insert a small silence at the end/start of the slide: move the audio or video file to start 0,1sec after the start of the slide and make it finish 0,1sec before the end of the slide. Worth trying if this helps?
Lilybiri
PS: sorry, bit sleepy, you did mention it is CP5. You'll find the actions in the Action accordion of the Properties panel of the button. And check your version, please, there was an important patch released in December. Use Help, Updates. 5.0.1.624 is the present version.
