Export PDF as a container with images

Hello, I would like to export a PDF with some jpgs inside. I want those images to be portable like you have jpgs inside a HTML, where you can save them to your desktop individually. How can I do this? Basically The Pdf would work as a container of text and Jpg images.
thanks very much for your time

That's not how PDFs are designed to work. They are designed to be a final output for print or for viewing on screen. To extract the images you could use Document Precessing>Extract All Images but this would only work in a full version of Acrobat.

Best Way to Export PDF for Press w/ Grayscale Images

Hi, we've been trying to move to a PDF based workflow for sending files to printers if possible so that all color conversion can take place at the final step of creating the PDF. This way, all images can remain RGB in their native color space.
But I just had to create a PDF that had a mix of images in it. Some were typical RGB, some had already been converted to CMYK (probably US SWOP), and some were true grayscale images.
When I created the PDF, I set it to convert all colors to the destination profile, which in this case was just US SWOP because the printer didn't have a more specific profile to suggest (most don't). It appears that the images converted properly, but the the grayscale images are using just the K channel (which I suppose is to be expected).
A while back we printed a fully grayscale piece where all images were converted to a specially created SWOP profile that had modified GCR curves to have most of the data still represented by the black channel, but with some nice CMY thrown in as the tones deepened. The result was amazing. The images had no color cast, but were a nice rich grayscale. The printer was very impressed as well.
A) So what would be the best workflow to incorporate mixed color images, and still have the grayscale images turn out nice & rich? Do I have to convert all images manually first (trying to avoid having to do this)?
B) If the printer doesn't offer a profile, and probably doesn't fully understand or utilize color management, are we best to supply the PDF file converted to US Web Coated SWOP because that is what THEY would be most used to getting? This job, however, will be sheet-fed on a matte paper with a satin AQ.
THANKS! Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Trying to refine our workflow here.

I would love to learn more about how to choose an InDesign working color space when you don't know the end printer (or if the end printer is clueless); how to deal with Illustrator native files that will be placed in InDesign (RGB? CMYK? Embedded profile?); how to deal with pre-existing elements that may be in the wrong CMYK color space; and possibly the option of taking color management into your own hands if the printers aren't knowledgeable; etc.
If the printer cannot provide an ICC, maybe they can state what print standard they use (GRACoL, SWOP). If you know that and the paper type, use your best judgement in selecting an ICC. Look to the IDEAlliance website, there are 2 SWOP profiles and one GRACoL profile that are good to use for coated stocks.
As far as mixing existing CMYK with RGB, opinions may be varied. Let's say you have a job, moving to Coated GRACoL 2006. You place RGB images, US Web Coated SWOP v2 CMYK images, US Web Coated SWOP v2 Illustrator, and custom GCR CMYK rich black images.
When these are placed into the GRACoL InDesign document, the default behavior is to preserve CMYK numbers. The GRACoL CMYK is assigned to all of the placed CMYK content.
Now you output a PDF with the settings you described earlier. PDF/X-4, Convert to Destination, Document CMYK (GRACoL). Even though you had US Web and GCR originally, in the PDF it is all Device CMYK (when output from ID CS4). Furthermore any user must assume that all CMYK is GRACoL, because that is the Output Intent. Also, if the GRACoL is a decent representation of the print condition, you can soft proof everything accurately in Acrobat (and InDesign for that matter).
If this PDF gets handed off to the printer, his duty is to RIP the CMYK and preserve numbers. The only number shifts will occur at the plating stage via plate calibration curves, which is not an ICC conversion.
If a CMYK - CMYK conversion is necessary, the printer must get you on the phone and let you know that he is re-converting all your CMYK content. For him to do that without informing you is, well, nuts. You've already done the conversion yourself. Every conversion is (technically) damaging,
Now assume that you output PDF/X-4 with no conversion. In that case, you have RGB and CMYK coexisting in the PDF output. Again, all CMYK should pass through the print RIP with numbers preserved. All RGB would be converted to the Output Intent already present in your PDF. If there is something wrong with that Output Intent, it's the printer's duty to get you on the phone and let you know. I say that because you, as a designer, have already soft proofed everything in the job in the GRACoL color space. If the printer wants to switch horses mid stream, he's got to let you know. (Side note – a printer taking a ownership of a special CMYK - CMYK conversion is highly unlikely. If they had a shop CMYK, they would have given it to you in the first place).
In summary – it is the print industry standard to preserve incoming CMYK numbers. If a client gives me a job full of US Web Coated SWOP v2, I can't very well treat that the same as incoming RGB and start converting to a different CMYK. CMYK is already cooked. If you re-cook it it stands to get burned. The only time CMYK-CMYK is warranted is (a) when Total Ink Limit is a factor (uncoated) or (b) the color is so far off on the proof that re-cooking only stands to help it.
What I WILL do is tell the client that they may get a better print result if they either supply RGB with no predetermined CMYK destination (I convert to press CMYK), or they use a different CMYK that more accurately describes the print condition.

Problems exporting PDF in CS5, text missing, images not transparent....

I am using InDesign CS5 v7.04 on a Mac running 10.8.1.
(This exact problem has happened to me in previous versions of ID as well though?)
When I export a document to PDF and view in Preview OR place into another ID document, every other page has an issue where some or all of the text is missing and images that should be transparent are not or are missing as well. Actually, the first two pages in my current document are OK, the rest, every other page is missing text, images, has non-transparent images that should be transparent... The font I am using is Avenir and the imaages are .png created in PS. The images are in the master.
WHY is this happening? What do I need to do to fix?
Thanks in advance for your assistance. I am a mostly self-taught ID user since version 1, just getting back into using it after a long break.

OK, sorry, yes, it looks the same in Acrobat as it does in Preview as it does when placed into ID.
I was able to save as a non-current version of PDF (Acrobat 4) and it shows correctly. (???) What am I missing, here? I mean, I have a work around, but?
So the original PDF is bad, rather than there being a problem with the file after placing. That implicates the original document, and since Acrobat 4 compatibility works it's probably either a transparency or layer issue.
Try trashin g your prefs and export again and see if it works. See Replace Your Preferences

Export PDF as JPEG fails with Adobe Save for Web AI Error

Hello,
We have an Illustrator Javascript program to convert a PDF file to a JPEG. It does some adjustments along the way, but I have boiled the script down so it just opens the PDF file, then uses the export method to export it to a JPEG file. The problem is the JPEG conversion is failing. When I run with user interaction layer set to DONTDISPLAYALERTS, as I normally do, it silently fails and continues; I do not get an exception, and the export method does not have another way to return an error. When I do display alerts, I get a dialog box saying:
Adobe Save for Web AI Error
Could not complete this operation. An unknown error has occurred.
It looks like this:
What's weird is if I open the same PDF file in Illustrator and select File / Export it works fine. I do get this error though if I select File / Save for Web & Devices. I'm not sure why the export method would do a Save for Web though.
The code looks basically like this:
// Set filename, docName, destFolder
file = new File(filename);
sourceDoc = app.open(file);
var fileSpec = new File( destFolder + "/" + docName +"_LARGE");
var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsJPEG();
var type = ExportType.JPEG;
app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type );
For testing purposes, I have shortened the code so it is that, with the variable setting code above.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!
------Scott.

I have not tested exporting without passing any options. You have however created a variable to an empty options object but not passed it.
did you also try…
app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type, exportOptions );

Saved Adobe Illustrator as PDF. When opened, PDF does not contain the images?

I am using a brochure type template in Illustrator and I have placed a few images in the brochure.
I have completed my brochure and want to save the AI file as a PDF.
I have saved the PDF file but when I open it, all of the images are gone.
What can I do to fix this?

Sorry for all of the vagueness. Here are some details.
I placed the image by doing: File->Place and then I just dropped the image in. I have tried to embed the image but that didn't seem to help. The images are on my local computer.
I didn't do anything to the images other than placing a rectangle box/border around the image. I sent to border to the back and brought my images forward.
I saved the file to a PDF by doing: File->Save a Copy... and then saved it as a PDF.
I open the PDF file with Adobe Reader XI

Does the Export PDF convert files containing illustrations?

I have written an illustrated book and have a copy on a PDF file - I now need to convert it to word and know for sure that the conversion will work. Thanks

The images in the document should convert properly. Whether or not the text recognizes is dependent upon how it's presented within the text.

"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

CS3: Export PDF crash...located the source, now what?

InDesign CS3 keeps crashing on page 86 or 87 of a file I'm trying to Export to PDF. I know this from watching the progress bar move across the screen, everything is fine until the status box shows page 86/87, then poof, InDesign disappears and requests to send an error report. I was under the impression this was being caused by the Export PDF settings. With printer's marks enabled, the Export PDF crash occurs on page 86. Turn printer's marks off and the crash happens on page 87. So I tried all kinds of things with Export PDF settings but came up empty.
Then I messed around with pages 86 and 87. Removed text frames from page 86 and tried various combinations with Export PDF. Did the same thing on page 87, and then combinations of 86 and 87 at the same time. No good...keeps crashing. I removed ALL content from pages 86 and 87 and the Export PDF still crashes, even with blank pages.
I finally got a clue when moving text frames to other pages. Both pages have 4 text frames each. When I moved the top text frame on page 87 to a different page -- in this case I moved it to page 98 -- the Export PDF crashed on page 96. Not page 98 where it was located, but page 96. Weird, but it gave me a clue.
Long story short:
Export PDF causes InDesign to crash on page 86 or 87 unless the uppermost text frame on page 87 is moved to a non-printing layer. The text frame can remain on page 87 or be on the pasteboard; either way, it must be non-printing to prevent a crash in Export PDF mode.
Any suggestions? I've already searched the text frame and nothing out of the ordinary catches my eye. The text frame is necessary for a book project. I can't consolidate it with another frame.
Thanks in advance!

My memory is not so great after all...

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...

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.

Creating a "tabbed" image in an exported PDF or SWF

I posted about this last year, well in advance of actually doing it, and thought I had the correct answer (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3759403#3759403). However, now that I've had a detailed look at CS6 and tried to create a "tabbed" PDF (my original term, but more correctly called a multi-state object with interactive buttons), I find that it can't be done. Although maybe it can, hence this post.
I'm trying to make a file (PDF, SWF, whatever) exported from CS6 that can be opened by virtually any novice computer user without hassle. i.e something like a PDF; something my grandmother could open and marvel at the cleverness of her grandson. Here are some options I've tried.
Method 1
Export a "tabbed" image from CS6 to Interactive PDF format. Unfortunately, "tabbed" images don't tab. Or have I not ticked the right options when exporting?
Method 2
Export to SWF format, with the HTML option ticked. But that seems to generate two separate files: an swf file and a .html file. Clicking on the latter opens the file in a web browser – so far so good, and it works like a charm – but I don't like the idea of two files when I send them to my grandmother. I suppose I could encapsulate both of them in a zip file, tell her to open that, and then open the one with the suffix .html… but you can see the process is getting complicated, probably beyond my poor old Nanna.
Method 3
Export to PDF (Print). To get this to work for "tabbed" images, this is what I envisage (not yet tried).
Say I have three images that I want to overlay and tab between, like you can do in Photoshop. I set up multiple interactive buttons (Next, Back, Skip…), appropriate text anchors, and whatever else is needed, on three separate pages, with the three images in identical locations on those pages.
The user comes to the first image, checks out the image, then hits Next. The page seems to instantly change to the next image (on the next page).
The user then hits Next or Back or Skip.
In the above thought experiment, I think I have simulated "tabbed" images at the cost of additional pages. Any novice user could easily open the document, though I'd have to make sure the navigation is very clear and simple to use.
I welcome any comments on obtaining "tabbed" images from a document exported from CS6.

Thanks Bob. I posted a short while ago, but have edited that post.
With further playing around I was able to get your suggestion working (exporting to SWF, then placing, then exporting as Interactive PDF). Why would I be disappointed if I tried that method with an entire document? My document will probably contain about 200 pages, and maybe 20 of them would have "tabbed" images. What problems would I come across, other than the extra time involved in separately generating 20 pages of "tabbed" images.
[Added after some testing]:
One problem I have found is that text is rasterised.
When I export a page from InDesign to SWF, and then open the SWF file in Flash Player (Projector), text is a vector.
When the SWF file is imported back into InDesign, and exported as a Interactive PDF, the text ends up rasterised…
But if I export as SWF, the text is not rasterised.
CS6 is rasterising the text within a SWF file when it exports to PDF. Is there a way of exporting an SWF file to Interactive PDF so that text is not rasterised?
