Export PDF with additional data

I would like to add a button on the toolbar next to the PDF button.
Which would export a pdf to a path then call a script to which we can send META data with,like order number, business partner nr. etc.
Where can one add a icon and write a function for this?

Hello,
Best of my known you cannot add a new item into the toolbar. it is not implemented in UI API, so not possible.

  • 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..

    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...

  • Trouble exporting pdf with Arabic text to .doc file

    I am having an issue exporting a pdf from the trial of Acrobat Pro XI on a Windows 7 computer.
    The pdf has a table with English fields in the left column and Arabic equivalents in the right column.
    It appears to display fine within Acrobat, so I assume it has fonts embedded and that Acrobat is somehow handling the display of the Arabic font correctly.
    I need to export this to .doc or .docx so that I can enter additional data.
    When I convert to .doc, the English column and fields convert pretty good, but the Arabic fields do not display well at all. I am not sure if this is some sort of trouble with Word (or the Windows OS) requiring an Arabic font or Arabic text support to be installed on the system or if there is some other issue (such as Acrobat not handling the conversion well)??.
    I did note that there is an Arabic Font add on to Acrobat that can be downloaded from Here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4885&fileID=4558
    However, since Acrobat is seeming to properly display the Arabic text, I don't know that this is required...additionally when I tried to install the Arabic font support from that URL, it told me that Acrobat X was require, I am using Acrobat XI reader (installed with the trial version of Acrobat pro that I wish to purchase if I can get this working properly).
    Thanks in advance for any assistance or advice offered on this subject.

    Unfortunately our conversion engine cannot convert text, such as Arabic, which reads from right to left.  It maybe something that we add in the future however it is not available at this time.

  • How can I populate a pdf with database data?

    How can I populate a pdf that we have on our server with database data on our server?

    Actually, if you export it in the right format then you won't need a script
    at all.
    You can import data directly into fields from a plain-text file via Tools -
    Forms - More Form Options - Import Data...
    I believe the format is tab-delimited with the field names in the first row
    and their values in the second.

  • Populating Existing PDF with XDP data

    I have a fill-in PDF that, in years past, used a simple XFDF file to populate. Using VS.NET 2010 I read in the XFDF document and populate all the necessary information and populate the PDF using ds.WriteXML(XFDFName). The PDF gets populated and it gets displayed in a simple WinForm app. This has worked like a champ for a few years now. Until now...
    This year, the problem I have run into is I was unable to export the data to an XFDF format due to the file having been created in Adobe LiveCycle. I noticed that the export options were either (1) XML or (2) XDP. In the past I'd been able to export to XFDF. No big deal I thought, just another format. However, I have been struggling with both of these options. After some deliberating I decided to use the XDP format.
    I have the dataset built with all of the information I need, I am receiving an error when opening the newly created XDP using Process.Start(XDPName). Reader opens and I am greeted with the following error: "Adobe Reader could not open 'GUID_HERE.xdp' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
    I tried using a straight up href to the PDF (<pdf href="FillMeIn.pdf" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/">), but opted to stick the PDF in the XDP in the <chunk> section.
    This XDP file looks like this (thanks stack overflow):
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
    <?xfa generator='AdobeDesigner_V7.0' APIVersion='2.2.4333.0'?>
    <xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp='http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/'>
        <xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa='http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/'>
            <xfa:data>
                   XML is here - matching the dynamic fields in the PDF.
            </xfa:data>
        </xfa:datasets>
        <pdf xmlns=\"http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/\"><document>
           <chunk>
                        Base64 encoded PDF.
            </chunk>
        </document></pdf>
    </xdp:xdp>
    I would think the XDP I'm generating is bogus - but to further complicate things - if I open Reader click Tools > Forms > More Form Options > Manage Form Data > Import Data and choose the XDP file that I've generated, all the fields are populated as I expect them to be.
    So basically, there is obviously a disconnect somewhere. I have a XDP file with all the information in it I need. I have a PDF form that I need to populate with the XDP. But when I fire up the XDP Reader is telling me it's broken/not supported. As I understand it, when you launch an XDP file it should properly launch/populate using Reader, correct?
    Any information would help me out immensely. Thanks.

    Was the form you are trying to import this data to created with LiveCycle Designer?
    I would fill in the form then export the data to XDP and see what the differences are.

  • Export PDF with PMI to STEP

    Hello,
    Is there someone who tried to export CAD models (created in Catia V5R17 and converted to A3D with PRC conversion )with PMI data ?
    Is it a successful process ?
    I mean ,is the PMI data lost when exporting to STEP ?
    Thx in advance

    Yes, PMI data is lost when exporting to STEP. This is as designed not a bug.
    Currently, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended only supports export to STEP AP 203 Edition 1 which specification doesn't include any PMI information.

  • 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!
    Im using Windows XP and CS3.

  • How to export images with meta data from iPhoto?

    Hi
    I have about 4000 family photos which have been scanned and imported to iPhoto. They are all dated the same day, naturally. I'm now in the process of adding metadata to every photo: location, faces, time and year, file name and description.
    Once I have gone through every photo, I will put them into albums based on events and the meta data above.
    Eventually, I will want to share all these photos with people who should like to see them (and who are not tech savvy...) I'm looking for the best approach to do to this.
    1. Will all the metadata that I have added remain in the photos when I export them?
    2. What exactly is the best approach to export these 4000 photos?
              - As I have gone through all the hard work of sorting the photos in albums, is it possible to export these photos in the albums that they already in?
    I hope to hear from someone out there. Thanks a lot
    Best wishes

    You need to have an application like  EXIF Viewer for Mac OS X  to check the files once you've exported them with the various checkboxes checked:

  • Filling in pdf with FDF Data gives me square blocks

    Hi,
    I am trying to fill in a form with fdf data using pdftk but whenever I do, it gives me square characters instead of the actual text. Does anyone know why it does this?
    I am using Arial font

    Hi George, thanks for your help
    Here is the FDF:
    %FDF-1.2
    1 0 obj<</FDF<< /Fields[
    <</T(FIELD1)/V(BLAH)>>
    ] >> >>
    endobj
    trailer
    <</Root 1 0 R>>
    %%EOF
    I don't even have Helvetica on my computer
    EDIT: To be honest, I think it may have something to do with my PDF file, because I am trying to populate the fields using pdftk-php and it is doing the same thing.

  • Exporting pdf with spot colour

    Hi, Im having trouble exporting a pdf with a spot colour from ID. Just one part of my logo is showing as thicker once its exported. I can place in the exact same artwork but using a CYMK colour and the thick shape doesnt show. does any one know why this is happening? Im placing an ai. file.

    I'm not convinced that has anything to do with the presence of a spot color. Assuming you are viewing the PDF in Acrobat (or Reader), have a look at your Page Display preferences under Rendering. If "Enhance thin lines" is ticked, un-tick it and see if that makes the thick I go away.

  • Export PDF with TOC

    If I didn't miss something important, it is currently impossible to add a table of contents (TOC) to the exported PDF that will show up in the sidebar of the Preview application. IMO Pages would be a great tool for publishing manuals and other documentation, but without a TOC in the sidebar, this is completely useless.
    Is there perhaps any sort of hack to get around this? (the files are XML, so this doesn't seem entirely impossible). Anyone know of plans that Apple might eventually add this absolutely needed feature?

    This is sound, but it depends on what you are trying to decide. The trouble is that the everyday enduser expects content to be searchable, but below PDF 1.4 there is no support for content structure and even if there is support for content structure in PDF 1.4 there are plenty of preparation processes that produce non-searchable PDF 1.4.
    If - or should one say when - the operating system supports creation of searchable content instead of simply supporting Spotlight as a search service, there is still no list for these problems.
    Funny response.
    The PDFs generated from Pages are perfectly searchable. As far as I know, when we search in a PDF displayed by Preview, it's not Spotlight which does the duty. Same thing when the document is open with Adobe Reader.
    The missing feature is not the search tool, it is the TOC one. It's not a huge task (it was available in the old printToPdf pseudo printer driver under Mac OS 9).
    It's just missing because it is supposed to be useless for many of us. Is it really useless, is it really useful ? I don't know the response at statistically meaningful level.
    To be honest, when I saw that there are two paths to create PDFs from Pages, my first thought was:
    1 - Print in a PDF file generates a flat PDF
    2 - Export to PDF is able to generate one with a TOC.
    I was wrong but I didn't cry for that. I may live without this feature. Missing the search tool would be more annoying.

    Hello,
    Sorry to drag this old thread up.
    We have a plugin that includes InDesigns notes on interactive PDF export.
    Would anyone be interested in being a beta tester. We only need 1 tester.
    Your reward would be to keep the plugin, generouse aren't we.
    All the best.

  • Export pdf with visibility control

    ik have a pdf with layers placed as an object in my CS5.5 document
    now i want to export pdf's with control over the visability of the layers of that pdf-object
    i can set the visability but, exporting gives 1 failure
    how can i solve this

    then there is something in your document which might be causing the issue...
    try and isolate the problem by hiding the layers first ,
    ex:- you have 2 layers then hide one and check bu making pdf , if it works then the issue is in that layer which is hidden
    once you wll find the layer you can locate the object on the layer causing this issue.
    and Is it possible to share the file ....

  • Exporting PDF with standard PDF/X-1b

    Hello All,
    We received the request from one of our client to generate the PDF with the standard 'PDF/X-1b', but while exporting the PDF from InDesign, we don't have this option, could you please check and advise how to meet this requirement?
    Thanks in advance,
    Praveen

    You should ensure that 1b is meant. I suppose it is a typo.
    If your client requires a CMYK, then 1a would be the correct version.
    You could ask for a joboption file. You can install it, open Acrobat Distiller and drag and drop the joboption file into the open Distiller window. This will install this joboptions for all programs with PDF export like InDesign too.

  • Exporting PDF with cropmarks

    I've got some artwork and  need to make a PDF with cropmarks from Illustrator 10.
    I add cropmarks using Object/Cropmarks/Make and that looks fine.
    But I can't get them into a PDF.
    If I "Save as PDF" or "Save a copy", the result contains everything EXCEPT the cropmarks.
    (Oddly enough PDF is not offered as an "Export" format.)
    I can create a PS file with Print command, and distill it, but that's rather tedious.
    Failing a way to export cropmarks, is there a simple way to convert them into normal lines, or do I have to redraw them by hand?

    Not sure about Version 10... but couldn't have changed that much..
    Your AI file:
    Save As
    Choose PDF from the file save options
    PDF save dialogue opens
    Choose the quality of the PDF files from the drop down at the top of the dialogue panel
    In the left panel of the dialogue panel / window there are options... look for the 'Marks and Bleeds' (or similar)
    In the options there, should be under 'All Printer's Marks', choose / select 'Trim Marks'
    That'll include the crop marks... Maybe the interface has changed a bit since version 10, but if you explore the options under the PDF saving panel, am sure you'll find them. Alternatively, try the Help...
    Edit: Further, i see from your attachment, that you have a bleed. You can set that under the "Use Document Bleed Settings'... make it about 3-5mm on each side... otherwise you'll get the crop marks without the bleed...
    BTW... how are you creating the crop marks? Hopefully the very base of the page (bottom-most layer) has a base colour to which you have added the crop marks from the menu?
    If none of the above works, wait for Jacob to come around... he still uses version 10
    Edit 2: If you see it under "Separations", check it there and see...
