Error "Failed to Export PDF" with big image on CS6 (32) and CC (64)

Hi everyone,
I'm on indesign CS6 (v8.0.2) and when I try to export pdf with a very big image ( *.tiff, 25000*35000 pixels, ) , the action failed with this message :" Failed to export a PDF".
To be sure that there is no any corrupted elements, I made a very simple layout (one page , and just one element for my image,I turnoff prefilgth and all ressource intensive options, and export with no downsampling or resampling) and try to export with different size image:with 20000*30000 -or smaller -image the export works, always failed with image .The export failed to in scripting mode.
If I diveded my image in four , the export works but this solution is not convenient (I actually made tests for a fully automatised process, and we want to be sure that the indesign component is enough "safe")
I try the same action with an evaluation version of indesign CC 64 bits (v9.2) and have the same behavior.
I can imagine that there is a memory issue there, but my config seems to be strong ( windows server 64 with 16GB ram, DD with more than 100GB free). I don't undersant why-in a "full" 64 bit environnement- it is not possible to manipulate and export very large image ?
I'm wonder If the background task is a part of the problem, and if it 's possible to disable it in CS6 or CC as in cs5 ( creates an “DisableAsyncExports.txt” file in Adobe InDesign executable directoty don't seems to disable it in CC or CS6).
Thank you for your help and good ideas..
DC.

this is a .tif (not a "big"tiff) compressed in LZW or ZIP.
I just tried with another format (png), the error is the same...

Failed to Export pdf despite having done so very recently?

I'm currently putting together a 60 page book and for weeks previously, I've been able to export it as a high quality pdf for test prints and analysis but for some reason last night, when I put in the final image for the book, it gives me this 'Failed to Export Pdf' message, despite me making a pdf of the final-imageless version a half hour ago. When I removed the final image from the document, it still gives me the same error message. When I tried to hunt down what page is giving it the most problem, it seemed to be a page that was previously just fine according to inDesign? And when I tried to work with an older version of the document to see if I can work from that one, it gives me the same problem. It SHOULD be fine but for some reason it isn't.
I use Windows 7 and I have inDesign CS2.

Asiide from CS2 not being supported on Windows 7, so you're pretty much on your own, see Adobe Community: File Crashing on Output - printing/PDF/other for troubleshooting tips.

"Failed to Export PDF"

Dear Friends,
when trying to export a document in Indesign CS4 as PDF-file, I get an error message:
Adobe InDesign
Failed to Export PDF.
OK
After dismissing this dialog, the export-process quits and no PDF-file is created.
There aren't any further notice-, warning- or error messages.
The document itself should be valid, no links are missing or update-needing and all in used fonts are available on the system Indesign is running.
I had already searched for a solution, or at least a reason for this error message, and found the following pages, dealing with that error message:
"Failed to Export PDF" when you downsample large images while exporting to PDF (InDesign)
I disabled downsampling in PDF-export dialogue as it is mentioned in the help file, but the error message still occures.
InDesign error "failed to export the pdf file"
I ungrouped everything by selecting all objects on each of these two pages and ungrouping as many times as the option was available as it is described on the page, but the error still stays.
Interestingly, removing the second sheet (=page) of this originally two sheet consisting Indesign document leads to a successful PDF-document export.
But I want to export both sheets, not only the first one, into one single PDF-document.
So there must be probably something on sheet number two which prevents a successful PDF-document export resulting in the error message mentioned above.
Because there are no further informations provided except that the export failed, it is not very easy to track down the reason for this problem.
Is there a log file for export or general application issues?
Maybe you have also experienced this error during the past and maybe even know some walkaround or hint which could lead to the reason?
Thank you for your answers in advance!
With best regards
Inno

Thank you for your answers!
Exporting page 2 alone leads to an PDF-export-error.
The error happens when PDF-file finalization is in progress.
I found out that embedded PSD-files caused the problem.
After un-embedding them, the PDF-export worked well, also for both pages.
Now however, there are still some questions open:
Why do embedded PSD-files cause an export-failure during PDF-export?
Why aren't any information given to user about this failure?
With best regards

Placed PDF with Layers - can layers be maintained and exported in a new PDF?

Can a layered PDF placed in InDesign include these layers in the InDesign Layers Panel? I have a layered PDF created in Illustrator CS4. I'm placing it in InDesign CS4 6.0.4 and want to export a PDF with the layers in tact from Illy. I use the Show Import Options dialog box and can see all of the layers in the layers tab. I tried both options for update links so that choice seems unimportant. I only see one layer, Layer 1, in the InDesign layers panel after placing the PDF. I was expecting to see all of the layers from the placed PDF. I exported as Acrobat 6 with Create Acrobat Layers checked but the only layer in the exported PDF is Layer 1. I searched and read for quite some time and can’t figure it out. Maybe I’m expecting something that isn’t possible but it sounds like it should be. I tried placing it as a native AI file with the same results. Where am I going wrong?
Thanks,
Glenn

Thanks to Bob and Peter. I understand what you said. It seems as though the ability to place a file with layers should allow you to take advantage of it better. This is a map that will allow users to turn on or off various points of interest, hotels, etc. Now I realize I can at least control them from the place dialog box so, other than having to place the same map multiple times I end up with what I wanted. Thanks for the soultions.

Export pdf with completely flattened linked images/tables

Hello
I am trying to export my thesis as pdf so that the illustrator images which are linked in, are flattened including their text labels.
This document needs to be submitted to examiners who want to scan the word-count of the body text, not the images/tables.
I have looked at other discussions but suggestions have not worked, I can still select the text of embedded images/tables in Preview and Acrobat.
Please can I have some suggestions
Thanks

Here is one way, You will need to open each Illustrator file, duplicate the original layer and call it "Outlined type". Go to select> Objects> Text objects, then Type> Create outlines. (outlined type won't be recognized as words, unless you ask it to try).
Open your InDesign file, select each linked Illustrator file and go to Object> Object Layer Options, turn on the outlined type layer and turn off the original layer. Keep the original Illustrator layer, in case you need to make future edits.

Pages fails to export PDF

I am receiving an "Unable to print" error when I attempt to export a document to PDF format. The PDF appears in Finder, but has a zero file size. I have run into this problem only recently, as I was able to export PDFs of similar documents before (about a month ago.) Does anyone know why this may be happening?

I tried this with a new - blank Pages file with just one word on it. It still fails to export with a "print error". The work around of using Print and saving as a PDF does not address my problem. I want to Export to PDF so that my Links and bookmarks are preserved in PDF. Printing only gets the image of my Pages file to PDF but with no special features.
Has anyone resolved this export problem yet? Could it be a bad or corupt preference file or similar system file conflict. I have seen sometimes where in some apps you can delete certain preferences and resources and then re-run to correct the problem..... could this apply to Pages and what would be removed to make it work?

Export gives "Unable to create" error,Can't EXPORT or SHARE modified images

I am running iPhoto 8.1.2 and I cannot export or share any images I modify.
Upon editing images (cropping or enhancing color profile), I am unable to drag and drop images to my desktop (gives a "∅" symbol) which I used to do all the time. I cannot export them - iPhoto gives an error: "Unable to create" filename error...
If I look at the "Show file" and verify the contents of the folder, none of the images I have modified appear there. If I look at "Show original file" all the original files are there but do not have my edits/cropping, etc. Where are my modified images going and how can I get to them? iPhoto seems like it is getting Alzheimer's or something...
I have tried closing and re-opened iPhoto and all the images thumbnails appear to be ok with my updated crops/enhancements. Double-clicking and opening them opens files with the correct edit/enhancements. Everything seems ok until I try to export or share any of the modified photos.
I tried rebuilding iPhoto and selecting the first 4 options but after the rebuild the problem still persists...
None of the files that I cropped/enhanced appear in the "Modified" folder for that date. There are some files there, but they appear to be files that I deleted!
So, where are my cropped/enhanced photos going??? iPhoto shows them ok in the Events, etc. but they are not in the "Modified" folder and I cannot export, drag/drop, email or share them...
This has been happening to me for awhile now and it is very frustrating. iPhoto is ok so long as I don't do any cropping or enhancing. If I do that, then it gets all screwed up...
I know that I can use something like "iPhoto Library Manager" to rebuild stuff but I don't want to lose any of my data. I have done extensive work with faces, places, attributes, names, etc...
I JUST WANT iPHOTO TO WORK LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO AND LIKE IT USED TO!
Thanks,
Steve

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair Library permissions.
If the permissions have been mucked up somehow, it's likely that your edits have not been saved.
If the fails:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Hyperion IR BQY job run successful few month but recently failed to export pdf and sending email

Anyone have encountered the problem that the BQY jobs which are running more than 3 years successfully. But recently no one update the report, but the job export keep failing to send result pdf to receivers intermittently.
It shouldn't be BQY job itself problem. Because this job has running years and fine. Only recent days comes out this problem. And user manually run the report can also be successful.
After checking the server log, find out that Hyperion IR retrieved data successfully but export-excel/bqy type file all works except pdf format. And in one week, some day it works fine. Some day it failed.
Trace in workspace job schedule log, it saying:
Emailing section 'xxxxxx' as 'PDF' to:
[email protected]
[email protected]
Export failed with unknown error.
And checked the server_message_IRJobService.log it just saying:
Error in export.[[
And
TCApp::ExecuteJavaScript failed:
We stuck at this error for a period of time. Anyone can help? Oracle Support has mentioned it might be system performance issue. Will keep an eye on this issue, to see any solution can be find.

Hi RamKumar,
Thank you very much for your inputs. We haven't tried
Increase the memory for the Hyperion Framework Services
will test and see if it can solve the problem. For 'Hyperion Framework Service', do you mean 'Reporting and Analysis Framework'?
We only tried increase the parameter of "Job Service" and "Intelligence Service" which called Dynamic Service Properties set to "PROCESS_MEMORY_LIMIT=2500MB". But seems hyperion this 32bit application only can reach to 2047MB.
Our EPM version is 11.1.2.1.600.07.
a. We have increased the memory from 24G to 48G and add more memory for JobService (now it has 2 GB memory).
     For the provided solution.
     Set the filters in the query to return smaller amount of data
     We are still working on, but it seems slightly solve the "Error in export" problem.
b. We have confirmed the SMTP Server configuration is correct. So this solution not fit for our case. As the trouble job has been running more than 3 years, until recent month it starts with this error. And the job failed this error only happens intermittently e.g. Monday,Tuesday,Friday it all works fine(Proved the job it self is OK) but Wednesday some period, it failed to export. So we are thinking it might the hyperion performance issue.
For the KM reference:
Interactive Reporting (IR) Jobs do not Send Emails. Error: "Export failed. Error Sending Mail" (Doc ID 1401854.1)
We have already read and checked, we do have correct configuration.
Interactive Reporting Job Completing With Javascript Errors - Not Producing Excel Output (Doc ID 1065483.1)
Our case is customer can successful extract data and send excel/bqy result to customer with no problem. But it failed to send pdf result sometime.
Thanks and Regards,
Erica

Helllo,
If I want generate PDF with a big paper-size (example 1.000 x 2.200 mm) nothing will done (tested with differnt files and different joboptions an different big sizes).
No Dialog, no window ... nothing. Sometime I can see for a short time the printer icon. But .... If I say "Okay take only 210 x 297mm" then everything is okay.
I have Windows 8.1 Pro and Adobe CS 5.5 with Acrobat Distiller 9.5.5316.
I want generate the PDF from CorelDraw about "Print" and as the Printer is "Adobe PDF", then I change the paper-size and then I want to generate ... nothing.
If I use a a normal PS-Driver and export this as a ps-file and if I then use this file for my Distiller, the it will be done.
Thank you very much.
Greetings Steffen

Have a little patience. 4 minutes is only a short time for someone to find your post and reply to it. Also clicking on "This Solved My Problem" marks your problem as solved so many folks that may otherwise help will pass the question by since it is "solved."
I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

Illustrator CC 2014- Unknown error when saving as PDF with Printer's Marks

I've been getting an error message (bellow) when I save a ANY of my AI file as PDF with Printer Marls (Trim Marks etc).
All fail attempts were files with: No transparencies - No effects - Simple Type (tried outlined and live) - Simple shapes.
I tried:
- Trash the Adobe Illustrator Settings folder
- Reboot the application
- Reboot computer
- Rebuild file
- Replace fonts
Please help. I'm a print designer and that's vital for my line of work.

Without system information and details like what PDF preset you use nobody can even begin to guess.

Error when opening =any= PDF with Reader

Hi! Since installing the new Reader software, I keep getting the same error message whenever I try to open =any= PDF, from those on my system for some time to those just downloaded.

Hi Bruce,
Are you using EMET Antivirus? I have seen the issue caused due to this. Try disabling it and check.
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

Trouble Exporting movie with Media Encoder, weird clip sizes and errors

I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 on a Windows XP Professional with 2gb RAM and 1.6GHz. I'm trying to export a short movie (2.5 minutes) with no audio. It is just a bunch of stitched together videos imported from 1280x 1024. I'm sizing them into 720 x 480. I get very poor video quality unless I use uncompressed formats, so I am using an Uncompressed AVI with UYVY Codec and 1.0 square pixels.
1st problem: I get an error running more than around 35-50seconds:
The Operation was interrupted by user
- Source File: C:\DOCUME~1\imurphy\LOCALS~1\Temp...
- Output File: C:\Documents and Settings\imurphy\My Documents...
- Preset Used: Custom
- Video: 720x480, 25 [fps], Progressive, Quality 100
- Audio:
- Bitrate:
- Encoding Time: 00:05:03
7/15/2009 1:18:56 PM : Encoding Failed
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
Its very consistent with having this error. I'm pretty sure there is plenty of room for the files, it only gets up to around 2.5gb. I can watch the movie up to where the error occurs and there is no problem.
2nd: I tried spliting the video up into 4 different files and the last clip won't match the others. I export all of them the same way, with 1.0 aspect ratio and the first 3 come out saying .9091NTSC. The last one will say it is 1.0 ratio if I do it the same way or 0.9091 NTSC if I change it, but either way, it will come out wider that the other clips (they will all still have black space on sides).
