Robert Bastiaenen

what I did was saving the indd file. After that I wanted to export the HR-pdf document so I started the export and after 15 minutes teh file disappeares when it wasn't finished with saving. When i tried to save it as the smallest file size possible there was no problem and the file was exported correctly. So I allready found out that the problem can be found in de export to HD_PDF.

Problem in creating PDF with InDesign CS5.5

Problem in creating PDF with InDesign CS5.5:
exporting a file in pdf, setting "Press Quality" or "PDF/X-1a: 2001" and selecting "Crop Marks" and the surplus of xx mm, the elements contained in the MASTER page move from the original position or disappear at random.
Can you help me, please?
Thanks a lot.

PDF of InDesign CS5.5 has text drift in a table

In InDesign CS5.5 I have a large table (36 rows, 17 columns). The content is prices, right-aligned, two decimal places.
When I export as a PDF, the numbers slowly shift, moving top to bottom, either to the left or right (this happens on many (but not all) different pages), for 20-25 rows, at which point the positioning is corrected. Total deviation from row 1 until the correction varies, from 0.0067 inches to 0.0109 inches.
This happens only when exporting a PDF from InDesign (CS5.5). If I print from the .indd the problem is not there. If I print a .ps and use Distiller, the resulting PDF is fine.
All cells have the same settings as far as padding, tabs, type size.
I'll post this in the InDesign forums as well.

Steve, I don't seem to be able to move this back -- missing some privileges I think. This was a cross-post -- already in the ID forum -- and he was hoping maybe someone in Acrobat had more ideas. Can you move it back again?

Why does black turn grey when creating a pdf from InDesign CS5??

Why do blacks turn to grey when I create/export a pdf from InDesign CS5?

Unfortunately, things like this are rarely glitchy little programming errors but deep, by-design, problems with using colour management. Usually you are getting exactly what you asked for, just not what you want, and the more colour management options there are, the more likely this is.
There are many possible causes, but one of the easiest to do is and hardest to spot is applying a CMYK profile in InDesign export, and a different one through Photoshop settings. This is actually demanding that colours be converted for the worst! Since your print workflow will be different, a work-around of rich black is likely to make things worse.
So the first thing to check is whether the colours you indended made it to the PDF, indeed. Output Preview is the first tool to use (as well as inspecting plates, you can hover over points to check the colour mix).
Also, go to your PDF export under the "Output" tab which includes colour and PDF/X. Either send a screen shot, or read off all of the the settings there.

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.

Export PDF from InDesign Book

Hi, I have a customer that has huge problems to export PDFs from InDesign Books. He has books with many documents with a total amount of 500-700 pages, when he try to export a PDF InDesign quit unexpectedly. I wrote a script for him that export the PDF from the book without the progress bar, and sometimes it solves the problem but sometimes not, and I have a "out of memory" message. He must export multiple PDF from the same book and then merge those PDF with Acrobat but he has also interactivity sometimes and it's a nightmare to merge PDFs with interactive objects and bookmarks. Someone of you have experienced the same problem (and maybe has a solution)? Thank you

It seems that InDesign saturate the available RAM during the operation of gathering information before start to export, if I restart InDesign each time and export a selection of documents it works. I'm exporting now two separate PDF and it seems to work, but again only if I close and restart InDesign before exporting, I'm working on an iMac with an Intel 2.93 GHz i7 and a total of 8 GB RAM.

Problème exportation pdf sur Indesign

Bonjour,
J'ai un problème avec Indesign. Lorsque je veux exporter mon pdf il me dit "Impossible d'exporter le pdf" et n'ai pas d'autres explications.
Je ne comprends pas car j'ai déjà exporter ce pdf une première fois sans aucuns problèmes.
Les liens sont tous bons, les photos ne sont pas spécialement lourdes,...
Merci de votre aide.

Bonjour et merci !
Malheureusement je ne suis pas assez douée en anglais pour comprendre des explications sur Indesign.
Pas de message d’erreur sur le contrôle en amont et je n’utilise pas de variables….
Je ne sais pas si je peux apporter des explications en plus, c’est clairement incompréhensible ! Et Indesign ne précise pas du tout pourquoi je ne peux pas exporter….
Merci.

Salut,
on manque un peu d'info...
dis moi quand meme si tu as des messages d'erreur lors du contrôle en amont.
Egalement, merci de préciser si tu utilises des variables dans ton doc (une variable qui appelle un style non appliqué peut générer ce problème.... parmi tant d'autres raisons)
Si tu parles un peu anglais, je te conseille de reformuler ta question en anglais, tu auras beaucoup plus de personnes aptes à t'aider

Problems copy & paste text from PDF to InDesign CS5

Hey guys
Today, I tried copying and pasting text from a PDF I received from my client, into a InDesign CS5 doc, and the text came out was just random numbers and punctuations.
I've tried exporting Word / RTF & TXT file from the PDF and yet they still come out random. I'm not sure if it's just how the PDF was made, or there is something wrong with my CS5.
I'm on Snow Leopard, CS5 Premium, Acrobat Pro 9 & also Acrobat Reader X.
Any ideas why?

It's the PDF.
Usually, you can copy text out of a PDF, but there is no guarantee *at all*. Older software used to take shortcuts to subset fonts: first character it encountered got coded as #1, the next as #2, etc. etc. If you do a search & replace of each of the nonsense characters, you'll slowly see the original text appearing (thst's not as simple as it sounds, though).
A similar "problem" is that sometimes spaces don't get copied (there is no need for a "Space Character" in a PDF), and that you cannot copy contiguous lines of text as a single paragraph. All of it is because a PDF is not intended nor designed to be re-used after creation.
If you really need this text and don't want to type it in, try to get hold of the original file.

Interactive pdf using Indesign CS5.5 problem with layering

Hi all
I have designed an interactive pdf - not for the web. I have a problem layering out a page. On the page there are 6 buttons. Each button when pressed will bring forward a box containing content/information. When I designed the page using indesign cs5.5 I made sure the largest box of information was at the top of the layer. I thought this would be the cleanest way to present the page. By having the largest content box (each of the six content boxes are different sizes) at the top it would cover the other boxes. When I exported the file out the smallest box was at the top, then the secondest etc. It looks pretty messy.
Is there a way to ensure that the lagest content box is at the top when it exported to pdf????
Regards

Have patience!
Have you tried putting that largest box on it's own layer at the top? I don't know much about buttons etc though, if you wait someone will come on here that does. A lot of contributors are in different time zones though.....

Exporting a pdf in indesign CS5 interactive portfolio, the buttons dont work?

interactive PDF using Indesign, Export problems
im working on an interactive portfolio, its got 6 pages and four of them have buttons which scroll through alternative images which relate to that page. All very simple stuff. as far as im aware its all set up properly and in preview its working like a dream. As soon as i export > adobe pdf (interactive) > i tick buttons and media Include All but when i open the finished pdf i wont let me use the buttons. they are acknowledged by the fact that when i hoover over them there is a tin black box that apears but the actual button its self wont work.
if anyone knows how to export such a file so i can share with people as an interactive portfolio i would be most grateful. thanx

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 InDesign CS5

Probably a real simple question to answer, but I'm stumped. I'm trying to export a 6 page newsletter to a .pdf format from InDesign CS5; it comes out as a 4 page document with the following orientation: The first page is fine (vertical on letter size), the 2nd & 3rd pages show up side by side (horz./letter) as does pages 4 & 5. The 6th page again is fine (vertical/letter). I never had this issue with CS4... Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Wharton

Hi Tom,
I looked up the Spreads option in InDesign help to see what you were referring to... I see most of the options described, but the Spreads option doesn't appear to available in the "Export to Interactive PDF" pop-up box.
The options I've chosen are: Pages-All; View after Exporting; Embed Page Thumbnails; View-Default; Layout/Single Page; Presentation-Open in full screen Mode; Page transitions-None; Buttons and Media-Include all... I don't believe that the Image Handling section would be the issue, but I chose, JPEG (Lossy), Maximum quality and a resolution of 300.
Thanks

Problem with exporting PDF from Indesign CS6

Hi,
I recently registered & installed CS6 on my computer (Last week!), and I seem to have problems with Indesign, which is the main reason for my buying the product.
The problem is that whenever I try to save & export a file as PDF from Indesign I get an error message (See attached file).
The files are saved with 0KB size, and so the Acrobat reader can't open them for preview.
This really interrupts my work, and backs up the entire comapny schedule.
I already tried updating, and uninstalling&re-installing the suite - but no luck.
Any help would be appreciated, and we need it ASAP.
Thanks in advance,

Without proper system info and details about what PDF settings you actually used and how and where you save your files, nobody can say anything. You could simply be doing something silly like using PDF/A, but trying to enforce high-res pictures or whatever. In any case, ask in the ID forum.

Placing a PDF in InDesign CS5

Hello,
I am new to these forums and new to forums as a whole. I have a question about InDesign CS5. I recently upgraded from CS3 to CS5. In InDesign CS3 when I placed a PDF file (or other Adobe file for that matter) once I selected a crop option if I then placed another PDF (or other Adobe file) the Place command remembered my last crop selection and made that the first option. I find that when I place PDFs now in CS5 that I have to select my crop option every time. The default seems to be Bounding Box (visible layers only), and no matter how many times I select another crop option, say media, and then place the item, I always have to reselect the crop option to media when I again place another PDF. Is there and option for changing this default? Or is there a way of turning on a option that will cause InDesign CS5 to remember my last crop selection under the Place command? If so, how do I do it? It would save my lots of time if I could figure this out.
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum Charles, I hope your first experience is a positive one.
I've had exactly this problem, which was solved in a forum on Indesign Secrets, another great Indesign resource. The thread is here, but let me know if you have any problems implementing the scripts in it. I've adapted them and made my own list so for example I can easily just click on one to place page 7 of a PDF to it's trim box, which not only means you don't have to have "show options" ticked when placing but if you drag and drop (which is often a lot quicker) you get what you want to.
Thank you Stix, for the welcome and the information as well.
I believe I have a working understanding of how to edit and place scripts in InDesign. (Now that is scary!) Now I have a new challenge; related to my original challenge. The PDFs that I am placing are not just single page PDFs; some of them can be 50 - 100 pages. That being said, one of my favorite things to do is to take a existing InDesign file, where I have already placed and sized the PDFs, rename it and then go in and select the previously placed PDF and replace it with page xxx; all throughout the document. Perhaps I am doing something wrong with the script information because I do not see away for me to choose the page I want without using the "show import options*. Using this option of course kicks out the script I have selected; does it not? Is there a option in one of example scripts that would help me with this?

When making a PDF in Indesign CS5 crashes?

Is there any way to reset the PDFs Presets in Indesign. The High Quality PDF (that is a preset already in Indesign) started to crash ages ago. I just made up new PDF Presets. Now it seems that when making PDFS whether Press Quality or the ones I have made myself it crashes. I launch Indesign then can make a PDF but then when I open another document it crashes again? Any help greatly appreciated

Please see Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding for directions to to produce a Hang report, then a forced crash and report, and put both of them on Pastebin.com, not here, and put links to both of them here. We may be able to pin down the problem from the reports.
I'm about to quit for the day, so either someone else will help you, or I'll pick up again in the morning.
