Export Book to PDF does not honor chosen PDF preset

When I choose "Export Book to PDF" from a book panel in InDesign CS4, and select an Adobe PDF preset, the resulting PDF has downsampled images even though my preset specifies no downsampling for images of 300ppi or more.
No downsampling occurs when I export each book document to PDF through the File menu.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Also, when I print a book, linked Illustrator files with status of OK are rendered like low resolution screen previews if they are not in the first document.

I ran Preflight on both books and found no issues, no missing or modified links. I don't have any copies of the documents in the books, so that's not it.
But you did point me in the right direction. InDesign was not checking the links before exporting or printing books.
If I go to Preferences > File Handling and select "Check Links Before Opening Document" and "Find Missing Links Before Opening Document" InDesign exports/prints the links instead of the previews. Problem solved! Thanks.

Pdf does not eprint. Pdf was created using Acrobat 9

Why did I get this message
Unprinted Attachments:EXBH20110603.pdf
ePrint Error
The print job was cancelled because the print job included photos that were too low in quality to print with good results.

Hey rahughes1,
The reason that this job failed is because the attachments may have included photos or pictures that were less than 100 dpi in resolution. ePrint will not print a picture unless it has a higher resolution.

Pages '08 Export does not honor the "Hide extension" checkbox

I have noticed that Pages '08, even with the latest update (3.0.3), does not honor the state of the "Hide extension" checkbox in the Export save dialog (or "sheet" that slides out from the title bar). Specifically, I have seen this happen when exporting to Word. When un-checking the "Hide extension" checkbox, the filename is displayed in the dialog with the .doc extension, but the file appears in the save folder (anywhere in the file system) without the .doc extension until I do a Get Info on the file and un-check Hide Extension in the Name & Extension section.
This is really annoying because I hate automatic hiding of file extensions in general, and I find it unacceptable with any kind of MS Office docs because my Windows-using colleagues can't seem to cope without a file extension they recognize.
Also note that this does not seem to affect the Save or Save As dialogs in Pages '08, only the Export save dialog. I can create a regular Pages document, do a Save As, uncheck Hide Extension, and I'll see the document show up in the file system with the .pages extension.
Is this a known bug in Pages '08? I can't find any mention of it in the forums. I also want to know if this is fixed in Pages '09. I've been looking for a way to report this as a bug, but am not having much luck.

Yes. just add the extension manually in the Finder.

It has been mentioned many times but not lately.

No.

FormCentral PDF export: Drop-Down Menu does not print when no choice is made

FormCentral PDF export: Drop-Down Menu does not print when no choice is made
I want to be able to print a blank form for the older clients who cannot use a computer. Form has a few drop-down menus and they only appear on the print out if an option is selected. The form was created on FormCentral. Can anybody help?
Sorry if i'm a noob, not much experience in creating PDF forms yet.
Thanks for your help,
Yon

Hi Perry
I am using the trial version of Adobe Acrobat and am using the provided FormCentral software to create the form. I find it very limited, but easier to learn. I am creating a financial needs analyser.
The section of the drop down menu is a selection from 1-5 (rating of importance for financial goals). I want to print out the questions and the empty boxes for people to fill them in by hand (e.g write 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5). When I leave a blank choice, no box is printed out. I write the questions in formatted text and leave the text/caption for the drop-down as blank, as it is difficult to set the margins correctly so various elements align (I pretty much have to estimate).
As said before, I may have been missing a massive part of the software, but I haven't used any training - just going by instinct so far.
Do you know if I can do anything about it?
Thanks,
Yon

How do I get my money back? Adobe Export PDF does not work

How do I get my money back? Adobe Export PDF does not work

You'd have to contact Adobe (we are users).
That being said, if you go to the proper forum and give them the details about what you mean by "does not work", I'm sure they can help you. Because it does work.

PDF does not contain all document elements

I've created a new brochure using InDesign CS5 and everything looks OK in the InDesign format, but when I export the file into pdf-format, not all elements are included.
The pdf does not display the top banner on one page and a transparent figure is missing from the background of all odd pages. I have used two masters and the master pages look OK in the InDesign format.
I've tried exporting the file into several different pdf formats (print quality, high quality etc...), but the problem remains.
Do you know where the problem is? I really hope you can help me.
BR,
Suvi

Ok, thank you for the answer. I need to install the 7.0.3. update.
However, the issue got solved when I used the print to pdf function instead of export and thicked the "Print non-printing objects" box. :-)

Hyperlink with tracking applied does not work in PDF

We use lots of web addresses in our advertising and generally the web addresses automatically convert to hyperlinks when we distill the files and make PDFs. Recently we've had two instances where someone applied tracking or justification to the line of text containing the url to make it spread across the page. When we make our PDF the url is not clickable. Is there anyway around this? We tried actually creating a hyperlink manually in InDesign by using the Hyperlinks panel and entering the address, but that didn't work either.

Peter,
We'll look into that. We already do two separate PDFs for print and web, but
we are distilling both right now. Wouldn't be too much of a problem to
change to exporting the web version I don't think.
I did a test, just curious, is there a way to keep it from putting a black
box around the link on the PDF?
Thanks for your help! We appreciate it!

Subject: Hyperlink with tracking applied does not work in PDF
Distilled PDF uses Postscript which does not support hyperlinks and
interactivity. To make your hyperlinks in ID you'll need to export and check
the Include Hyperlinks and Include Interactiviity boxes.
Your printer doesn't need hyperlinks because they don't work on a printed
page. The requirements for print and interactive PDF are quite different, and
you may find you need to make two versions.

Error from reports from ZAM(Graph or PDF) - File does not begin with '%PDF-'.

I just noticed today that any Graph or PDF report I try to view I get the
following error - Error from reports from ZAM - File does not begin with
'%PDF-'. I tried to just save the file and then open it, but get the same
error. I can open other pdf files I have downloaded from other sites ok.
Anyone have any idea? I haven't done anything to that server that I am
aware of in quite a while.
Thanks

haer is what it says:

Srikavi,
Which rendering engine are you using? BI Publisher? Apache FOP? Did you follow the steps outlined here when you configured PDF printing:

PO PDF Error - File does not Begin with '%PDF-'

Hi,
I am working on Implementing PO PDF with XML data and RTF Template. I have created a new template in XML Publisher and followed the following set up steps
Setup / Organizations / Purchasing Options / Control TAB / set 'PO Output Format' = 'PDF'
setup / purchasing / document types / select "Standard Purchase Order" / Set the Document Type Layout to your new template.
When I view the document from PO Summary > inquire > View Document, I get an adobe reader error
'File does not begin with '%PDF-', how ever when I preview it from the template definition, it opens fine.
I tried running PO Output for communication with my custom template but I don't see the parameter 'Purchase Order Layout'. The last parameter in the list is 'Include Blanket'.
Am I missing any set up steps? However when I use the standard Purchase Order Layout in Document Types set up, the Inquire > View Document created a PDF output.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sharmila

I encountered same error in BPA Invoice Print. I remove a MLS function from the program definition and this error disappeared. Have not fully investigated but maybe this will help. Thanks.

This issue might not be related to personas.
Is this happening with all the PDFs?
