Export a PDF with Imposition and wraparound

Hi everybody,
I'm a relative newbie here, and I apologize for that.  I'm looking for some help in CS5 with imposition.
Specifically:
I created a 28 page booklet, 8.5x11, for a client that has 28 pages.   Same booklet as last year.  However, this year, the client - to save money - wants to print on tabloid paper.  So an 8.5x11 format needs to convert to 17x11.
The printer they have chosen wants the inDesign document as a PDF.
Two unique problems:  one, how do I export to PDF a document that allows for imposition.  And two, the front and back cover are wraparound (a single image). 
Or, more concisely, how do I format this correctly?  And can it be done in a single file?  Or would a second file be required to handle the wraparound of 1 and 28?

I would have thought that too, but that's not what I'm hearing from the printer.
You are correct: I have been told by the printer that 14 11x17 sheets, printed double-sided, and golden in half, will save the client significant money. Hence the reason the client made the change.  So getting my imposition right kinda got me scratching my head. But let me revisit that with them.
The cover issue I still need to be clear on:  how pages 1 and 28 can have a wraparound image , and still assimilate into a layout. How would you handle that in your print house?  Right now I moved 28 to precede 1, built the layout, and then moved that half image back down in the layout. Is that correct?
Thanks so much for your insight.

  • Exporting to PDF with Fillable and Savable Fields

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it is at all possible to export from Crystal Reports to a pdf with fields that can be filled in and saved by the user?
    I have read up on Visual CUT and it seems like I can do it from there. The problem with Visual CUT is that it offers way more than what I need. I only need the ability to create a pdf with fields that can be filled in and saved by the user.

    Hi,
    In my experienced it cant, you can export it to pdf but you dont have the ability to make it fillable, unless doing it manually, from the exported pdf, install an Adobe Professional software to have capability to save data's.

  • Indesign crashes when exporting to pdf with .eps and .ai files placed

    Hi everyone,
    I have an Indesign file with 4 placed Illustrator .eps file placed. Whenever I try to export to pdf, it starts to export and then when it reaches a page with a .eps file on it, it hovers for a minute and then Indesign crashes. I decided to save these 4 .eps files as .ai files and replace them. Now when I export to pdf, it gets through the export and a pdf file is created but immediately after, Indesign crashes.
    Is this a sign of corrupt .eps or .ai files or a corrupt Indesign file? All I know is that if I remove all the image files, then the ID file is fine, ie. it exports and ID doesn't crash.
    Is there a way to test either .eps, .ai or Indesign files for corruption, and if they are corrupt is it possible to repair them?
    Appreciate any help offered.

    You haven't said which version of Indesign you are using or other specs, but I would bet that you are using CS2 on an Intel Mac. CS2 runs under Rosetta on an Intel Mac, and I have found that memory problems are often the result of crashes like the ones you have described. My advice is to stay away from EPS files and use AI or PSD, especially if the file is a bitmap or photo. This has eliminated all the crashes that used to occur on my system. As far as the crashes after making PDF files, I don't have a solution other than restarting Indesign after exporting a PDF file or two at a time. The same Rosetta memory problem seems to mess it up for me. Mine would just exit from Indesign with no warning. Hope this helps.

  • What are the best options for creating a PDF with bookmarks and a hyperlinked TOC?

    What I'm interested in is whether or not there is an alternate process I could follow that would side step Word 2011's inability to export to PDF with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs. How do you create PDF documents with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs in your documents?
    Some background:
    In Word 2010 and 2013 for Windows (and I'm sure this applies to older versions as well), you can export documents to a PDF file format where the exported file will carry over the bookmarks and hyperlinked table of contents. Specifically, by making specific text headers, will appear in the final PDF file as bookmarks on the side (see image taken from Adobe's website).
    Regarding the table of contents, using Word's built in Table of Contents feature successfully ports the ability to navigate to a specific section by clicking on its chapter in the table of contents to the finished PDF file.
    I've read several forum discussions that say it's not possible to do this from Word 2011, so my current solution is to just finish all documents on a Windows machine (either with parallels or a separate computer). The alternate process flow of creating a word document, exporting it to PDF, then rehyperlinking everything in Acrobat is just too time consuming to consider.

    Hi, beejasaurus
    I found a possible kluge from this discussion here
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1008480
    Create the hyperlinks in Word, save the file
    Open that file with Pages, export as PDF.
    The links work from that PDF.
    Note, I did not try this with TOC but it worked with hyperlinks embedded in the Word document

  • Exporting to pdf with new numbers app

    recently i upgraded from numbers 09 to numbers 3.0. i have a worksheet with 2 pages. with numbers 09 when i export to pdf it export as pdf with 2 pages works fine. but in numbers 3.0 when i wxport the same worksheet it combines both pages in one pdf page so i can't print it on 2 pages. any solution ?

    Vikas
    The solution is to Print to PDF rather than Export to PDF.
    You will see that there are two pages in the Print dialog preview, and when you choose PDF, Open in Preview, you will see that the PDF version of the file has two pages.

  • Pdf (with graphics and text) in the email body

    When I place an pdf (with graphics and text) in the body of my email using Mac Mail my recipient sees them as attachments only. I am trying to find a way of presenting a formatted email with graphics that will appear the same way to all recipients, but a pdf frequently ends up being an attachment instead of staying in the body. The pdf  file doesn’t seem to always show up in the body as created. Is there a better way to accomplish this?

    You have no control over how your email maybe rendered by other email servers and client side software.
    Attachment Tamer may give you a few more options but it does not guaranty the end result.

  • How to import pdf with hyperlink and and maintain its hyperlink while exporting it as HTML?

    We can import pdf in indesign either using plaacemultiplefile script or using place submenu  under file menu but both of them import pdf as graphic object and lost its all hyperlink. no doubt when i again export its as pdf than hyperlink are there as it is but when i export it as HTML,IDML or other format than than all hyperlink are lost so is there any way to maintain this if no than is there any way to write some new script utilities which will do the same .one solution i think is first convert pdf into docx and than import it as docx indesign import  it as text frame and maintain all hyperlink but in this process pdf file lost its some formating while converting it into docx .

    I probably should've remembered "rtfm" before writing all that.  It seems to me now that I need to create a Master Page for each of the different layouts, then dynamically select the one I want to use at run-time, maybe with a script event ?  The Master Page creation is a bit messy ... the only way I seem to be able to get multiple Master Pages is to open each Word doc, let Livecycle import it, then copy all the content into a new Master Page in my main document.  That is, there doesn't seem to be a way to import a series of Word docs directly into separate Master pages of a single Livecycle form.  I'll continue with the "read" part of "rtfm" ...

  • Cannot Export PDF with Hyperlinks and Bookmarks

    August 1, 2008
    Hi Everyone,
    I've recently upgraded to InDesign CS3. I opened a 40 page document that was completed in InDesign CS2. When I try to export to a PDF (with include hyperlinks and bookmarks) the program quits once it reaches the 5th page.
    I've tried exporting without hyperlinkes and bookmarks checked and PDFing works fine. I had no previous PDFing issues when working in CS2.
    Any suggestions/tips/guesses would be appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Hi! I need help w indesigns hyperlink...
    I am working on a long document and have 5 files, I was able to use hyperlink on each one that way the reader could jump fr one file (or page) to another. The hyperlink worked perfectly on PDF. Now I need to merge these five PDF's into 1 PDF file but the hyperlink that I have created on individual files doesnt work in a combined PDF. Is there a run-around on this? Any suggestions? I'm just new in indesign and need inputs. Thanks!

  • Exporting to pdf with page marks and color separations

    Hi All.,
    I have a requirement to export the current document as PDF file. I am using the export provider with the service registry to export the document as pdf file. The code works successfully. Now I have a requirement where I need to save the pdf with color separations and page marks. First I need some information on what does page marks and color separations actually mean for a pdf file. And second I need to know how this could be achieved. Do I have to set some preferences? I have tried setting preference for color , bleed and it works. But I am not sure whether this satisfies the requirement. I would be thankful if someone would suggest me on the same.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Problem while exporting to PDF with japanese character in Crystal Report X1

    Hi,
    I am using Crystal report X1 with classic ASP on a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server, SP 2. In my application, I have to export the report into PDF, CSV, DOC formats. I am have Japanese strings in the report. While exporting to PDF, empty boxes has displayed in the place of Japanese string and in CSV file, question mark has been displayed instead of Japanese string. But the Doc file is exported correctly. I have not installed any language support software either in server or in client machine. I have used MS Gothic and Arial Unicode MS fonts for the text-objects which has Japanese strings.
    Please give me a solution so that I will get PDF file with Japanese strings instead of empty box or question mark.
    Do I need to install any language support pack software?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Manju

    Hi Don,
    Thank You for your reply. I have resolved the issue of exporting to pdf from crystal report X1 having Japanese data after installing the language pack.
    But when I am exporting to CSV or TXT, i am getting ??? instead of Japanese characters. I have tried "export" through crystal report designer and got ??? instead of Japanese.
    The Crystal report version I am using is Crystal report X1  11.0.0.1282
    Crystal Report Desinger is installed in Windows Xp machine
    Font set for Text object is Arial Unicode MS, MS PMincho, MS PGothic
    Does the Crystal report X1 11.0.0.1282 has the UTF-8 support for CVS / txt
    Please provide me a solution
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,

  • Making a PDF with "Outline" and Bookmarks Using Pages

    Hi, I'm using Pages 1 and I have tried making a PDF with outline breaks but I failed. I thought using paragraph styles for my document would work but when I exported my document to PDF, all I got was a PDF that only has the thumbnails view but not the outline view. Also, when I exported my document that has bookmarks to PDF, all the bookmarks don't work anymore. How can I make a PDF document using Pages with all the bookmarks and the organization just like other PDFs that I encounter? Thanks

    Hello LadyinStilettos,
    welcome to the Pages Discussions. If I remember correct, in Pages 1.x there is no way to export text links to PDF. An outline view creation doesn't exist.
    If you want to have links in PDF (of the TOC, too), then you should upgrade to iWork'06. But outline view doesn't exist here like it doesn't in version 1.x.

  • Cannot export to PDF with grayscale PDF in layout

    IDCS5.5, MacPro, OSX 10.7.4
    I am working on a grayscale teacher’s guide that accompanies a CMYK schoolbook. The introduction pages contain miniature pages of the workbook (formatted as grayscale PDF), but InDesign refuses to output those pages as PDF ("Impossible d’exporter le fichier PDF"), or when it does produce a PDF (when exporting page by page), Acrobat warns of a possible problem and stuff is missing on the resulting page, not necessarily from the grayscale minipages.
    I have tried grayscale PDFs created from the original CMYK PDFs in Acrobat Pro X, grayscale PDFs exported from the original CMYK file in InDesign CS6, PDFs reduced to 20% in InDesign, PDFs reduced to 20% with a third-party application and imported in ID at 100%, and all sort of variations on the export values. The problem is also present in InDesign CS4 (after exporting the file as IDML) and in CS6.
    The thing is, there is no problem at all if I use the CMYK PDF version of the minipages (I then turned the resulting PDF into grayscale with Acrobat Pro X). But the printer expects to see only grayscale images in a grayscale job, not color... and a Photoshop version of those minipages is not acceptable.
    Has anybody encountered that problem? Can you reproduce it, i.e. can you export to PDF if you use any type of grayscale PDFs in your layout?

    FOUND IT! Inspired by Rob solution, I was able to export my InDesign CS5.5 document containing some grayscale PDFs to PDF/X-3:2002 (and PDF/X-1a:2001), with or without the standard, but without converting to destination. For some reason, it does not work with PDF/X-4:2008, nor with any of the other presets.

  • Problem exporting a PDF with Helvetica Neue

    I am using InDesign CS6 on Mac OSX 10.8.4. I have a PDF with Helvetica Neue in it. When I export this file to a PDF my client claims that the text is jumbled and appears to be widely spaced/leaded. I've read it's an issue with Helvetica Neue as a system font, and found the following solution, but wondered if there was a simpler answer that does not involve messing with my system fonts.
