Exporting files from InDesign to correct size

Hi,
Hope someone can help. I create multiple ads for many publications and have joboptions set up for each. Brill, saves loads of time!
However, some require the ad to be cropped to bleed size but still include crop marks. How can I export a PDF to the correct size (trimmed to the bleed size with crop marks but without the white space you always get?!). For instance, can you specify the length of the crop marks to make them shorter or just specify the correct trimmed size without the white space?
At the moment I have to specify a bleed of 10mm when exporting from InDesign and then crop 7mm off all round to leave 3mm of bleed in Acrobat with the crop marks (albeit small) remaining on the document.
The ads are delivered via adsend so if they don't pass the specs, they are automatically rejected (gone are the days when someone REAL checked them over – sigh!)
Please, please, has anyone got a solution?!!
I'm using CS5 and Acrobat 9 Pro.
Oh, and I can't seem to print a postscript file or PDF anymore since we got a new crappy printer!

You cannot export from Pages to ID, though you could export to RTF and use File > Place... to import the thext, but you'd need to rebuild the layout.
Placed PDF is essentially a graphic, so your pixelation may just be the default preview quality. Try View > Display Performance > High Quality Display (and you can set this as the default in the prefs). Keep in mind, though, that the imported PDF is not editable in ID.

Is there a way to export files from InDesign to Powerpoint?

I am trying to export a brochure created in InDesign and use it as a presentation in PowerPoint. Is this possible?

Hello
I represent Recosoft. We make ID2Offfice (http://www.recosoft.com/products/id2office). This exports/converts InDesign CS5-CC 2014 files to PowerPoint, Word and Keynote formats. You can view the Youtube video I've posted below how it converts the file:

Font issue in exported PDF from indesign

Font issue in exported PDF from indesign:
In Indesign file we have kept a sentence in “Univers LT Std” (San serif font) with all caps style that was orginally in lower case. Refer below
When we selected the sentence in exported PDF some of the characters are not selected. Refer below.
If we enable “create tagged PDF“ in export PDF setting, then the problem is solved. Refer below.
Can you please check why this problem happened? In another project also we have faced this same problem but different font “Frutiger LT Std” with all caps style. Here also same San serif font. Please check and advise to solve this issue permanently.

Without tags a PDF is a silly amount of letters, images and lines, with tags all itams a kept in their semantic context. So work with tags as it is the only way to get correct selections and export to other file types like Word DOCX.
Without tags InDesign reads from left to right from top to bottom and the font geometry might influence the correct order of letters.
Why should anyone work without tags today? If you open a tagged PDF in Acrobat DC it is much faster than without tags.

Failure to fully export pdf from InDesign CS2 (application unexpectedly quits)

I found a TechNote detailing such an issue when you save or export a PDF after the Adobe application has been left idle for several days. However, when I tried both suggested solutions, I was unable to fix the problem. Some say it may be that I have a corrupt file, but the file saves normally and shows no signs of error.
When I try to export a file as a PDF file from InDesign CS2, I don't get an error message when I save the file. I only receive an error message when I try to open the resulting PDF file which has not been fully processed.
The error message I see is as follows:
* Exporting a PDF file from InDesign CS2: The file appears to save without error, but when I open the file with Acrobat I see the error "Acrobat could not open '[file name]' 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). To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF."
Thus, I tried solution 1: upgrading my Mac to Mac OS X v10.5. That didn't work.
Then I tried solution 2: save the file, and then restart the application. That also did not work.
The TechNote goes into further detail, explaining:
"When you save or export PDF files from Photoshop CS2, Acrobat 7, Illustrator CS2, or InDesign CS2, the application must reference the TemporaryItems file located in /tmp/501. Prior to Mac OS X.v10.4, Mac OS X regularly deleted files in the /tmp folder that had not been used or modified within a certain period (approximately two or three days). If an Adobe application is running but unused for several days, Mac OS X prior to version v10.4, would delete the TemporaryItems file. When you save or export a file as PDF, the Adobe application attempts to reference the no-longer existing TemporaryItems file which results in errors or faulty PDF creation.
When you restarting the Adobe application and then save or export a PDF, the application rebuilds the TemporaryItems file."
Does anyone have any other suggestions for a solution to my query?

Similar to you, I've just posted the following in the InDesign section:
Problems writing pdf from InDesign CS2
Hello everyone, I've just gone and bought myself a new 2.4ghz iMac and done all of the updates for Tiger so I'm now running 10.4.11. InDesign CS2 is version 4.0.5.
I have a simple A4 document with 3 placed images which is an updated version of many done previously. I've never had any trouble writing pdf's from them before until tonight on my new Mac. It seems to get about half way through and InDesign quits.
If I print to a pdf file then it's okay, but a bit long winded when you get used to exporting from InDesign.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Exporting files from Final Cut Pro in Snow Leopard

I am using Final Cut Studio 2. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Before the upgrade when I would export files from Final Cut the dialog box would automatically go to the last used folder location. Now, each time it goes to the system hard drive. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

Fix what?
Just choose the correct folder to which to export.

PDF Files from InDesign to larger

Hi
I just upgrade my acrobat pro to 9.3.3. And im running Snow leopard.
So - now the ps (print postscript) option is also gone for me.
I have som old files from indesign, i printet at ps file and used my
distiller to make the pdf file.
Result = 168 kb
If i export this from indesign, CS4
I use same distiller settings
Result = 860 kb.
If i export this from indesign, CS4
I now use smalles file settings
Result = 290 kb.
WHY is it not possible to make smaller pdf files direct from indesign.
Also Press files get very large.

Here's an article explaining some of the things stripped from your document when you use Distiller, compared to the Export function in inDesign

Exporting Table from Indesign to tagged text.

Hi, all! I need to export table from InDesign to tagged text by the script. I found ExportAllStories.jsx in samples. It's good example but I have some questions 1. In my document more then one table and I need to export only some of them. So, how can I export only one of them? May be Tables have some "labels" or something other differential sign? 2. How can I ser encoding type of distanation file (by the default InDesing set <ASCII-WIN>, but I'm need to set <Unicode>).

Edit>InCopy>Export All Strories.
Open the INDD in InCopy.
This assumes everyone involved has access to the files.

PDF Bookmarks - Change Default Width When Creating PDF File from InDesign

When creating a PDF file (from Indesign CS4) I automatically create the PDF bookmarks based on the InDesign document's Table of Contents.
But by default the width in the bookmarks is always set at "Fit Page".
Is there a way to change the default to "Fit Width" in Indesign before the PDF is created?
It's too much trouble to change every bookmark in the PDF after it's created.
Thanks for any help in advance!

Thanks, Steve. I have actually previously done what "fogharty" suggests and it does work if I want to set the pages to "fit width" or a variety of other options. However, none of the options is inherit zoom which is what I, and many other from the sound of the thread, need and want. We want to respect our end users--not dictate how they must view our PDFs. Hopefully, Adobe will listen and make this option available soon.

Exporting JPEGs from InDesign CS4

I've exported jpegs from InDesign CS4 for years and each time I get an Export JPEG dialog box that gives me the option to adjust the resolution. Suddenly, when I export to JPEG, I get no dialog box and it automatically creates a JPEG at 300 dpi. I've looked everywhere in Preferences to see if I inadvertently changed settings, but I find nothing. Help?

How I can export files from CS5.5 to send for further editing in CS6 and no lose quality?

how I can export files from CS5.5 to send for further editing in CS6 and no lose quality?

If all you need for further editing is the contents of your Timeline,
then you should follow Harm's sage advice.
Lagarith Lossless Video Codec
http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html
Ut Video Codec Suite
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Ut-Video-Codec-Suite
But, if you will need all of your source media files to continue the edit,
you should consider using the Project Manager.
Trim or copy your project
By using the Project Manager, you will be continuing the edit
with the original media files and there will be no quality loss.
Be aware that once you have edited the project in CS6,
it will be problematic (but not impossible) to return to edit in CS5.5.

Issues exporting file from Target group

Hi Experts,
Can someone let me know the process for exporting file from Target group, I am working on CRM 7.0 .
or give me the SNOTE to implement the same.
Thanks
Leela

Hi,
for small Target Groups (i.e. Target Groups that can be displayed completely on the UI, < 10k members) you can export them via the export to spreadsheet button on the header of the Target Group item page (right side). Note that only the members that are shown in the table on the UI are exported. For bigger Target Groups, you can only export them to the application server. To do this, you will have to press the "Export to File" button on the header of the Target Group page. this will schedule a job which exports your Target Group to the application server. You can download it from there using report CRM_MKTTG_FEXP_SHOW_FILE.
Hope this helps
