Exporting as PDF from Keynote type problem

Hi,
I'm trying to export a Keynote presentation as a PDF for a client leave-behind, and the PDF is not showing all fonts correctly. Some slides have simple text boxes that Adobe Reader and Acrobat render as complete gibberish. Other screens have Numbers spreadsheets that I exported successfully as PDFs (that render fine separately), but when the PDF is dropped into a keynote slide and then exported again as a PDF of the whole presentation, they turn into an unreadable mess.
I have seen error messages upon opening the PDF in Acrobat like this:
'Cannot extract the embedded font 'DKUXBZ+MyriadPro-It'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.'
But I don't know what 'DKUXBZ+' means. My Myrad Pro works fine in all my other applications.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
D

I would guess that you have upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.7. If so there is a bug which affects PostScript OpenType fonts like Myriad Pro Italic.
You can read about the problem here:

The solution is to use a different (non-OpenType) font or revert to 10.6.6.

anyone have any ideas why it doesn't export the hyperlinks to the PDF?

Or, better than that, export the PDF from InDesign as PDF/X-4!
By default, Acrobat and Reader use overprint preview when displaying PDF/X-4 files. Plus you have the benefit of full color management and not having transparency ruined by premature flattening.
One other note. Other than for the fairly common practice of overprinting black text over colors to avoid halo effects due to registration, one should be exceptionally careful in using overprint. Trapping, the other good, justifiable use for overprint is really best performed by the RIP. Most modern RIPs provide for automatic trapping. Overprint should absolutely not be used as a “poor man's transparency,” especially in conjuction with spot colors. With the advent of real transparency in the Adobe imaging model and hence in Illustrator, InDesign, and PDF, there is no good reason to use overprint hacks anymore to simulate transparency.

Exporting to PDF from Illustrator ... a problem

Hi All,
I'm writing you as I have a small problem when I export to PDF from Illustrator.
In Illustrator the size of the page is 21,51X34,71 ... but when I save in PDF the size of the page is 13X14
I have to save in PDF as the printer is waiting for the file.
Any help?
thanks a lot

I'm doing exactly .. like that: save As a copy >> PDF
and I'm using the Adobe Reader ... when the reader opens the file the property of the size page and the drawing change.

Export to PDF from Infoview does not show correct data - CRS 2008

I have a problem where users attempt to export a report from the Infoview interface to a PDF. The report shows correctly in Infoview while in Crystal Reports format, but when the use exports the data, the data changes and shows different values. To troubleshoot, I have tried this on different clients - without a change in the result. I have also pulled the latest instance of the report from this history on the Central Management Console. Interestingly enough, the same thing happens when I export to a PDF from there as well. Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,
I can't tell you offhand on what the issue is here, as various factors come into play.
Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
- Try opening the report in Crystal Report designer and export to pdf from there. Does this work?
- Instead of viewing the report and export; schedule a report to PDF and check the results.
- there is currently a know issue in regards of certain formulas and using font type "arial Unicode MS" that gives incorrect export to pdf. Maybe alter the font used.. or see if you take out any questionable formulas and try again to export.
Regards,
Duncan

Buttons not exporting to PDF from CS5

Howdy, all. I've a problem exporting documents containing buttons to PDF. Specifically, CS5 doesn't export interactive buttons placed in my InDesign document to interactive buttons in a PDF file; they show up, instead, as simple, non-interactive graphics. (No pointing fingers, no actions.)
This is true for all documents I have created in or imported into CS5.
As a test, I went back to CS4 and created a document with a single button chosen from the "Sample Buttons," to which I attached the "Next Page" action. Exporting to PDF from CS4 works fine; I get a functioning Next Page button in the resulting PDF file. Opening the same InDesign document in CS5 and exporting with the same settings to PDF yields a non-functioning button graphic appearing on the PDF page.
Opening the PDF file in BBEdit, I see that there is no "Fields" entry in the PDF file's Catalog dictionary, so it seems as though the button is, indeed, being exported into the PDF file as a simple graphic.
What obscure CS5 setting (presumably hiding in plain sight) am I missing?
By the way, CS5 does export the buttons correctly to swf.
Thanks much.
- John

In CS5 you have to change the export type to an 'Adobe PDF (Interactive)' to get the buttons to work.
Bit of a pain because you can't save presets like you can with the standard PDF export, but you can specify some of the PDFs view settings at the same time. In my view they should have just added all that functionality to the standard PDF export, but perhaps that wasn't possible. However it was a dud decision to remove working button export from the other PDF export.

Exporting to PDF from PageMaker 7.0 in Classic

Since upgrading to 10.4 I have been unable to export to PDF from PageMaker 7.0.1. Adobe tech support says there is a problem with the Adobe Postscript driver. I have downloaded and installed a new Adobe PS driver but still get a message that says Adobe PS cannot be used because of an internal error. There is a code (-30581). Anybody having this problem?

Did Adobe say your copy might be corrupt, or there was a general incompatibility between AdobePS and your Classic version, or what please?
I don't happen to know a specific solutioni, but you might try this workaround, even though it sounds rather klunky until you're used to it:
Use Apple's own Desktop Printer Utility to built a virtual Desktop Printer using Translator Postscript, which will automatically be set as the default Classic printer, even though it doesn't actually appear on the Desktop, and should be accessible through either AdobePS or Apple's own LaserWriter driver.
Tell that to print to File, which should produce a .ps file that will double-click open in Preview, which can convert to PDF.

Having trouble exporting to pdf from InDesign CS6

When I attempt to export to pdf from InDesign CS6, the application crashes. Apparently there is some phantom plug-in issue.
I need to get this resolved asap.
Thank you,

Have a look at this generic document to help you troubleshoot: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/troubleshoot-printing-pdf-export-indesign.html
Could you also provide details about what you've tried, and what errors you encountered? Is this problem limited to a particular document, or all documents?

Export to PDF from Autocad: Acrobat always opens PDF with 'layers panel and page' shown.

Hello,
Whenever I export to PDF from Autocad, Adobe Acrobat opens the PDF with the 'Layers Panel and Page' shown.
Each time I have to manually go to 'Properties' and select 'Page only', close 'Properties' and close the PDF and select to save the changes, in order to show the just the page.
Is there a way to make PDFs always export to 'Page only' automatically as default?
Thanks!
Ione

Thakns Peter, I had seen this thread, but it doesn't really address my issue. I've exported individual chapters from the book file, all with success, so I know there isn't a file corruption issue. The problem seems to do more with memory allocation/usage.
I have tried: quitting and then immediately exporting the file, and even rebooting and then relanuching and exporting. Both of these allow me to get a few pages farther along, but still not through the entire book.
I remember back in the day there used to be a setting for how much RAM/dis c space was allocated to a certain applicatino (I knowm it was a long time ago). I didn't know if there might be something like this hidden somewhere

Export the pdf from indesign some error Pop Up window (Failed to Export the PDF file). How slove the problem
Please some one help on this

You need to try exporting the first half of the book.
If that exports ok then export the other half of the book.
Whatever half it fails on - keep dividing the book in half to find the culprit page or pages.
For example if your book is 128 pages long:
1. Export pages 1 - 63
2. If these Fail to Export then
3. try exporting1-32
4. If these Fail to Export
5. then try exporting1-16
If it doesn't fail (step 2)
Then export pages 64-128
and 64-90 etc.
until you find the pages causing the issues.

Color changes when exporting to PDF from Apple Pages or Word

When I export to PDF from Apple Pages or Microsoft Word, there is a noticable color shift.
The RGB color values that are 23, 76, 140 in Pages for a medium shade of blue like this but appear as 50, 61, 134 with a decidedly purple cast like this in the PDF.
Has anybody else run into this problem? Any tips for troubleshooting?

Thanks for the reply. It was created using Apple Pages. I tried exporting to PDF in two different ways, both with the same result.
1. Within Apple Pages, one can click File > Export > PDF
2. The other option is to click Print > PDF > Save as PDF
I also tried this second method with Microsoft Word, and again the color was altered. Any suggestions that you can provide to resolve this issue will be very helpful.

Error in character spacing when exporting to pdf from word 07

I am having trouble with exporting to pdf from MS Word 07. The character spacing throughout the document is wacky. This also happens when exporting to pdf from a GIS program.
Any help?

I use the term export because that is how it is done in the GIS software that I use - ArcMap 10.
In MS Word I access Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 through the print menu. I am using Windows 7.
I do not always have this trouble, but it started yesterday on a 30 page word doc and then after that, it started on an ArcMap doc.
As for embedding fonts, when I check the Word doc as you suggested, i see many different fonts listed. Some are embedded, some embedded subset, some are not embedded at all. I use styles to manage font types and heading levels. There is nothing fancy about it - all Times New Roman.

Background Colour Incorrect when exporting to PDF from Crystal Reports 2008

Hello All
When exporting to PDF from CR2008 the background colour of the crosstab is incorrectly displayed. The problem is as follows to create a crosstab with a grey header row and column details in white we have used the following trick.
Format Cross Tab Border Background is set to Silver.
Crosstab Expert Grand Total Background colour is set to white.
The result is a crosstab with header in grey and details in white.
This report displays correctly in CR2008, and exports as seen on screen to everything but PDF. When exporting to PDF the Crosstab is completely grey taking on only the Background colour of silver, and ignoring the Grand Total Background colour being set to white.
What is strange that when I print to PDF the format is also displayed exactly as required,
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Some additional details.
CR2008 version 12.3.1.683
Adobe Reader version 9.3.3
Windows XP Professional
Thanks
Phillip

If this is a big issue for you then please purchase a case and a Rep can duplicate and escalate to R&D.
As a work around export to Editable RTF and in Word 2007 you can get a PDF export plug-in and then export to PDF.
Thank you

Exporting a pdf from InDesign-need to access Overprint

I am exporting an InDesign CS5.5 Document with mixed ink and Illustrator eps with pantone overprints.
When I export it into PDF the native mixed ink in InDesign represent accurately.
However the Illustrator eps preview as solid gray @ 70%. This is the overprint layer onto of Pantone 293.
When I turn on Print preview in pdf it is accurate.
My question is:
In the export to pdf palette under the output header, there is a check box 'simulate overprint'.
I've tried several different variations, but cannot get that check box to turn on.
Unlease I make an X-1a file the overprint for the Illustrator eps does not preview without turning on the output preview palette in Acrobat.
And lets face it, to the client, that is rocket science.
How can I access the 'Simulate Overrpint' option when I am exporting the document.
Thanks,
J-

Anyone know how to export a PDF from InDesign so it is "click to go to next page" instead of "scroll to go to next page"?

Anyone know how to export a PDF from InDesign so it is "click to go to next page" instead of "scroll to go to next page"?

I don't use the latest InDesign, but in the past ID's options for exporting to PDF did not allow setting how a PDF should be viewed once exported. However, these settings can be adjusted in Acrobat through Preferences: check out Page Layout and Zoom under Page Display.
