Epilogue.ps not running when exporting from InDesign

Hello All.
Ive added some postscript in the Epilogue.ps file which changes the initial view of my PDFs as follows:
[ /PageMode /UseThumbs
/Page 1
/View [/Fit ]
/DOCVIEW pdfmark
Ive edited the default settings (a job ive called small to make lores multiple page PDF's) and when distilling through distiller this works fine. However when i Export as a PDF from Indesign (CS3) using the same job settings it does not run the Epilogue.ps.
I dont want to have to save each file as a .ps from InDesign and have to distill them all, it stakes twice as long.
Apart from printing to the Adobe PDF 8.0 Printer does anyone know why this is happening?
W
Also has anyone come up with an automated way on Enabling for comments yet?

Export as a PDF/X file (PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X4). With a PDF/X file, Acrobat or Reader turns on Overprint Preview even if the Output Preview panel is not open. (When Output Preview panel is open, Overprint Preview is turned on by default.)

Formatting of text fields when exporting from InDesign to Acrobat Pro

How does one preserve the formatting of a text field when exporting from InDesign CS6 to Acrobat Pro? It loses both the font and the alignment formatting in the PDF.

Use a font that allows embedding/ check the font embedding settings in the PDF output settings.

Can you have a PDF fit on the viewer's screen automatically when exporting from InDesign CS4?

Can you have a PDF fit on the viewer's screen automatically when exporting from InDesign CS4?

If you were to upgrade to InDesign CS5 or CS5.5 and if you exported as Adobe PDF (Interactive), you could set the View settings for Page Layout and Zoom.
While, as Jongware points out, its possible for individual users to override that option (Preferences > Page Display > Default Layout and Zoom), the number who will actually do that is actually very tiny.

Embedding font problems (when exporting from InDesign to PDF)

A message alert is shown, when opening a pdf - after exporting from InDesign: Cannont exctract the embedded Font Frutiger.
We have uninstalled the frutiger font and installed an open type. But the font is not embedded anyhow..?
Can anyone help?
Thanks very much.
Jane

I don't know if you need help scripting this, but...........
If you can not re-create the PDF from InDesign using the OTF,
In Acrobat, highlight the text with the acrobat touch-up text tool, right click and go to properties. You should be able to assign the OTF font running on you system, and select the embed option.
If not, this is why PitStop is an indespensable (sp?) tool.
Best of luck

Preserving Black when Exporting from InDesign to PDF

Hi All:
I hope someone who knows Acrobat can help me with this. I have an InDesign file that I must export to PDF. That in itself isn't the problem. This is:
The text in InDesign is solid black (000000), but once it exports to PDF, it collects a myriad of colors and will not print preperly to the newsprint. I'm doing this for a newspaper. I use InDesign, they use Quark. The client uses InDesign as well. I can NOT figure out how to convince Acrobat to leave the color alone.
I've tried to figure it out with the Ink Manager, etc., but for the life of me, no matter what I do, It comes out as all the colors of the rainbow. It LOOKS black in the PDF, but when you select it, it is NOT black. It's a mess. Two full pages of this stuff and I'll have to redo the whole darned thing in Quark unless I can figure this out.
I have tried using "Preserve Black" once it's in PDF format, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Obviously I'm missing something in the Export from InDesign function, but I can't figure out what.
Can someone help me?
Thanks so much, in advance.

Okay. Above is the swtch from the original Color Preset. Below is the swtch after I made the changes mentioned above. I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees no difference. ??

Large PDF file sizes when exporting from InDesign

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew why some PDF file sizes are so large when exporting from ID.
I create black and white user manuals with ID CS3. We post these online, so I try to get the file size down as much as possible.
There is only one .psd image in each manual. The content does not have any photographs, just Illustrator .eps diagrams and line drawings. I am trying to figure out why some PDF file sizes are so large.
Also, why the file sizes are so different.
For example, I have one ID document that is 3MB.
Exporting it at the smallest file size, the PDF file comes out at 2MB.
Then I have another ID document that is 10MB.
Exporting to PDF is 2MB (the same size as the smaller ID document)... this one has many more .eps's in it and a lot more pages.
Then I have another one that the ID size is 8MB and the PDF is 6MBwhy is this one so much larger than the 10MB ID document?
Any ideas on why this is happening and/or how I can reduce the file size.
I've tried adjusting the export compression and other settings but that didn't work.
I also tried to reduce them after the fact in Acrobat to see what would happen, but it doesn't reduce it all that much.
Thanks for any help,
Cathy

> Though, the sizes of the .eps's are only about 100K to 200K in size and they are linked, not embedded.
But they're embedded in the PDF.
> It's just strange though because our marketing department as an 80 page full color catalog that, when exported it is only 5MB. Their ID document uses many very large .tif files. So, I am leaning toward it being an .eps/.ai issue??
Issue implies there's something wrong, but I think this is just the way
it's supposed to work.
Line drawings, while usually fairly compact, cannot be lossy compressed.
The marketing department, though, may compress their very large TIFF
files as much as they like (with a corresponding loss of quality). It's
entirely possible to compress bitmaps to a smaller size than the
drawings those bitmaps were made from. You could test this yourself.
Just open a few of your EPS drawings in Photoshop, save as TIFF, place
in ID, and try various downsampling schemes. If you downsample enough,
you'll get the size of the PDF below a PDF that uses the same graphics
as line drawing EPS files. But you may have to downsample them beyond
recognition...

TOC in PDF does not include Link OBJR tags when exported from InDesign

I'm using InDesign CS6 to export a book file to a tagged PDF. When I run the accessibility checker in Acrobat 9, I get errors about items not being contained in the Structure tree. These missing items are links for the TOC and the Index page numbers. When I look at the tags, the Link OBJR tag is missing for these elements. I can't possibly manually add them all in. Other links e.g. cross-references, hyperlinks, automatically include these Link OBJR tags when exported. Why does the TOC and Index not do so?
I've asked this question in the InDesign Forum and no one seems to know. If I don't put these tags in, what does that mean for accessibility of the document?
Thanks for your help

Glad you found something that worked. For the future ... I found that if you create the PDF from BOOK and following these steps you can get the hyperlinks to automatically tag. This will work if you are getting editable hyperlink boxes for the TOC -- I find that it is creating these (although I could swear it didn't earlier). Anyway:
1. Select all chapters in the book and create PDF with hyperlinks and bookmarks. Save as TEST.PDF
2. Open the PDF and in the Pages Panel extract the page or pages containing the the TOC from the PDF. Save this as TOCtest.pdf
3. Delete the Tags from the TOCtest.pdf file -- in the Tags Panel, select the Root tag, right click and select delete
4. Select Add Tags to Document to this same file.
5. Examine the tags to see if all the OBJLINKs are tagged. Repeat steps 3 and 4 again (sometimes it doesn't autotag correctly the first time). You may have to manually correct some of the structure -- headings and/or artifacts on these pages.
6. Save again.
7. Go back to the main document TEST.PDF -- delete the TOC page or pages from that document (assuming you didn't when you extracted.)
8. On the pages panel, Insert from file and choose TOCtest.pdf -- insert before the first page.
9. This will bring in the newly tagged TOC and it's tags HOWEVER the tags will be out of order in the tags panel. They will be at the bottom and you will need to find them and MOVE them where they should be.
Still more effort than you should have to but it worked for me.
Not sure how to record a bug with Adobe, but my testing in CS5 shows that this is NOT a new problem. CS5.5 did the same thing for me.

Blurry/ fuzzy fonts in pdf when export from indesign

Hello all,
i have done alot of research/ readings via the internet (& forum) but i still can't find a solution to this:
- I have saved my pdfs (line drawings, texts, graphics) in illustrator.
- i 'place' them into Indesign.
- In indesign, i click 'export', 'adobe pdf (print)', ' high quality print'.
Result: the texts on the embedded pdfs are fuzzy. I have used 2 fonts- one is fine & editable in the exported pdf (garamond); only 'arial' seems rasterized & fuzzy.
What have i tried:
- i tried exporting as 'pdf X 1a 2001' settings as it is mentioned that it is good for printing.
- i have tried clicking 'do not downsample' in all the 'compression categories'.
- i have also checked 'find font', to see if the 'arial' is true font. It is.
What else can i do? kindly advise. Thank you in advance.
*software:
adobe cs5
Best,
Jessica

Oh no...
i see your point now.
That text is from the usual font folder.
- i checked in illlustrator: 'type', 'find font', 'arial'; whereelse in Indesign, it is 'arial regular'.
- In control panels, 'font' folder, i see i only have 1 arial regular file, so both illustrator & indesign should have the same 'arial regular'...
OK UPDATE: I GOT IT RIGHT NOW:
- In illustrator file, to create pdf: 'print', 'printer: cutepdfwriter', 'output', 'printer resolution: 100lpo1200dpi' (initially it was 72lpi), and 'graphics', 'fonts: download'- 'none' (initally: subset).
I don't know which made it work: Pinrter resolution or fonts download.
But now i could edit the illustrator pdf 'arial' font; and when placed in indesign to export, it is not blurry anymore.
Never knew something like this can make such a big difference, thank you Bob!
**but can you let me know what was it i changed that made it worked as well? thanks!
Jess

Background missing when exporting from indesign to pdf

Sometimes when I export a file from indesign to pdf, my background doesn't show up. The background is just a block of solid colour, or gradient. The background block of colour is usually the full size of the page. I've tried to play around to see what is causing this to happen and sometimes if I reduce the size of the block to say, 1/3 of the page then the block of colour shows up, but then when I make it the full size of the page as I actually need it to be, the colour block doesn't show up when I export it to pdf (i've tried all the different pdf presets and it doesn't make a difference)??? Does anyone know why and how to fix it?
thanks!

I believe export is an ID option, not an Acrobat option. In that case, you probably should ask in the ID forum.

Graphic won't show in pdf when exporting from indesign

Hi Eugene,
The layer is checked to 'print layer'
All my content is on the same layer (it's a CV)
Any other ideas ?

PDFs washed out when exported from Indesign

I have a grayscale picture on a B&W background. Looks great in Indesign, but when exported to PDF the blacks are washed out. I have tried it several times.
I am using Indesign CS, exporting to Acrobat 5, print, on compression I have chosen 'do not downsample' on all.
When exporting simply to screen, it looks fine and the blacks are rich. When exported with the press settings, the black becomes a dark gray.
Help? thx

There are a few things to consider about the way ID handles grayscale images.
ID does not have a grayscale color spacethere's only CMYK, RGB, or Lab. The display of Black (which is CMYK 0|0|0|100 because there is no grayscale space), varies depending on the document's CMYK profile. Modern profiles never display 0|0|0|100 as absolute black because that's not what happens on pressoffset blacks are not very black. Absolute black is reserved for rich black combinations, i.e. 65|50|50|100. If you change profiles from a coated to an uncoated profile you will see that uncoated profile previews Black as an even lighter value, which again is what will happen on a press printing on an uncoated sheet.
Things get more complicated when you place a grayscale image. ID displays it differently depending on whether you have Overprint/Separation previews turned on or off. With Separation preview on, the grayscale previews as if it's on the black plate of CMYK (dark gray). With Separation preview off the grayscale previews at 2.2 gamma and the 100% black is not limited.
When you export a press quality PDF with a grayscale and black objects you get a CMYK PDF with everything on the black plate, so Acrobat's display of the CMYK file is again dependent on the CMYK profile in Acrobat (black is gray)
Legacy CMYK profiles display 0|0|0|100 as absolute black, so try setting your Color Settings in both ID and Acrobat to Photoshop 5 Default Spaces, which will give you an absolute black preview in both programs.

Black and White Gray Scale Photos Are Dark When Exported from Indesign to PDF

When I print right from InDesign the black and white photos look great. However, if I print the exported pdf file, the black and white photos are much darker. Is there something I should be doing upon export so that they will look as they do in InDesign?
Thanks,

I have tried different settings in format and color space all with the same results. I'm sure it has to do with system not being calibrated. I'm not to computer literate so not sure how all this works. The other programs must go along with my computer and moniter settings where LR and Elements produce their own rendering independent of settings. Yes, I checked and Elements renders like LR. I found some other forums that discussed similar problems but with color rendering. HMMM, just tried something. In Picassa I switched to Linear Gamma 2.2 in display mode and the LR edited photos look correct. So it must be something along those lines being the problem.

Format changing when exporting from InDesign to PDF

I am using Acrobat 8 version 8.1.2, and InDesign version 5.0.2.
I am noticing a very specific problem when exporting some files to PDF from InDesign.
We often have a format where we have a numbered list of right-aligned number, followed by some text, a leader line, and then another number at the end of the line. This is set up with a left indent and a first line left indent (rather than using the numbered list options), and then the necessary tabs later in the lines.
I am finding since we switched to IDCS3, that when I export to PDF, lines containing this format change in the PDF. The text that appears after the number in the front of the line is pushed over on top of the leader line, leaving a huge white space. On rarer occasions, it will move things in lines that have no indents, but contain tabs that aren't being used.
I have been able to get the files to export correctly by removing the left indent and first-line left indent and using tabs instead (or by removing unused tabs). But we have hundreds of files set up in this manner so going in and changing how they are all set up is problematic to say the least.
Is this a known issue? Does anyone know why this might happen and how I can prevent it?

I haven't tried printing to PDF. I will try that and see what happens. Unfortunetly, where I work we are required to export to PDF rather than print to PDF, so if it works it will only be a clue for me rather than a solution.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try a cross post to the InDesign forms.

Write filename somewhere in a PDF when exporting from InDesign?

Is there a way, when exporting a PDF from InDesign, to somewhere/somehow auto-embed the filename into the resulting PDF? Doesn't need to be "visible" in the job, but needs to be accessible somehow. I'm working with a very difficult client who changes PDF names and then, months later, sends the PDF back with revisions and I have no idea which file the original PDF was created from. I know I can manually enter this information, but I'm looking for a more automated way to do this?
Regards,
Kristin.

Put this script into a folder "Startup Scripts" inside your scripts folder. It auto-updates the document metadata every time you save a document. This automatically is saved in an exported PDF.
//InxAfterSafe.jsx
//An InDesign CS3 JavaScript
#targetengine "session"
//Creates a simple event listener.
main();
function main()
var myEventListener1 = app.addEventListener("afterSave", setMetadata, false);
var myEventListener2 = app.addEventListener("afterSaveAs", setMetadata, false);
function setMetadata()
var myFileName = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.indd$/i, "");
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.documentTitle = myFileName;
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.copyrightNotice = myFileName;
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.jobName = myFileName;

Audio and video not synchronized when exporting from Premiere Pro CS6

Hi
We have made a project in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 that´s intended to be exported to DVD (it´s a weeding). We are working with NTSC DV Widescreen. The exporting is 720x480
We have 2 audio lines activated and sounding on this project.
The question is:
When exporting the entire video (the entire timeline sequece) using Adobe Media Encoder to formats like H.264 (NTSC DV Widescreen)... Quick Tile Movie or AVI without compression (we tested these formats) the 2 audio channels get unsynchronized from the video. The same problem occurs if we get a direct link of the timeline from Premiere to Encore.
And Inside Premiere Preview audio is preety correct.
Does anyone here are getting such problem?
Also..can I ask another question (as I´m not expert on video production)?. What´s the best format for our purpose? Export a video to be played to DVD (we record weedings, birthdays..social events). No problem the time to export. We´d like the best quality for output.
Thank you for the help
Gustavo.

Hi John and techkid123
We have 4 cameras here. 1 is Sony model HD1000 (since it works with Mini-DV cassete we need to capture the image via Firewire). 2 cameras are Sony HD2000 (it generates *.MPEG files if I remember well). And 1 camera is a Panasonic AG-DVC7 (it generates *.MTS files)
We start a new project using the Standard NTSC Widescreen 48Khz format. When we drag to the timeline for example the MTS file...Premiere ask us if we want to Keep and Change timeline to suit the file specification. Anyway we always have 1 or 2 camera files that has a yellow line over timeline.
But I renders correct...no problem to edit...and we had no problem with Premiere CS5.5 :/
We are downloading the latest update of Premiere. I´ll make some test and publish here if the problem persist.
Thank you a lot for the help
Gustavo.
