Exporting PDF proof Question/Problem

Hi.
I have a strange problem.
Has anyone ever heard of a issue with the exported PDF's not showing up on a Blackberry?
My client is claiming that although the PDF proofs look great on the computer, when he's away from his desk, he's unable to view the PDF's on his Blackberry.
I told him it's likely to be a Blackberry issue but he responded that it's only with my PDF from InDesign, and that he's able to view other PDF's fine.
It's a simple (Smallest File Size) PDF export.  Nothing unusual.   I have 4 layers, and some transparency gradients, but as mentioned, they render well on the desktop but not on the Blackberry at all.
Does anyone know anything about this?   It's the first I've heard of it.
Thanks.

Hey Bob are you familiar with ppcgeeks/omniaroms/modaco ? If not you should check them out, the Omnia is capable of a lot more than how it ships stock:)
As for the PDFs proofs, I would make 4 PDFs.
1 RGB flattened (IE save to  be compatable with Acrobat 4)
1 CMYK flattened
1 RGB unflattened (ID likely go with Acrobat 7 compatable)
1 CMYK unflattened
I would then see which ones if any work. Once you have a working set, save it as a joboption for specific use for customers using mobile phones.

  • Export PDF copy/paste problem

    When We export PDF from pages document, text can be copied from PDF file like
    "Lorem
    ipsum
    dolor
    sit
    amet,
    consectetur
    adipiscing
    elit.
    Donec
    condimentum
    congue
    bibendum."
    (screenshot: http://bit.ly/qqecp1)
    How can we change this and make people copy text in normal way?

    Hello
    Something is behaving wrongly on your system.
    To be sure, I tested opening the PDF with two applications : Preview and Adobe Reader.
    Some tracks :
    (1) Maybe you have a clipboard "enhancer" installed which plays the fool.
    You are the only one knowing if you installed such a tool.
    (2) Maybe something is corrupted.
    Try to run Pages from an other user account.
    If it behave flawlessly in this new account, the problem is linked to your account.
    In such case, it's often the app's preferences file which is corrupted.
    To be sure,
    quit the app
    drag the preferences file :
    <startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.pl ist
    on the desktop
    restart the app for see.

  • Export PDF says "Unexpected Problem"

    Hey Adobe,
    I've tried to export several pdf files to convert them to word and have recieved the unexpected problem prompt for nearly every one of them. Most of the files are around 20MB and are scanned pages. I have an account, and have paid for the one year subscription. Is there anything you guys can do for me?
    Thank you,

  • In XI pro, exporting PDF to Excel problem.  Excel columns and data are not properly aligned.  Help?

    I used 30 day trial of Acrobat XI and all the functions work perfectly.  But, when I buy the program (either download or disk) my PDF that export to Excel is not working.  The excel columns and data are not properly aligned as they should be.  The Trial version aligns everything perfectly.  What is happening?  I use a MAC 10.9.5.  But this shouldn't matter because the trial version works perfectly.  Can anyone help?

    just found out that this is posted in the wrong section.

  • Colour change in identically exported PDFs: InDesign CS5 to CS6

    Artwork turns out with a greener hue in a PDF Print document exported using InDesign CS6 trial software that has ruined a whole print run.
    This catalogue has been printed in past years using CS4 and CS5 software, each time the colours in the exported PDF proof, PDF Print file and InDesign files being accurate and matching perfectly.
    This time I used a trial of InDesign CS6 - Importing the same mother file as previous years and working on the document. When exporting the document however, despite using identical settings to export PDF files in the past, the exported PDFs turn out with a greener hue than the previous CS5 PDFs. I trialed a few different kinds of colour conversions in the PDF export window (i.e. 'no conversion' to 'convert to destination - RGB') just to see what happened -  and all turned out with the same result. The colour change is small but this was exxaggerated at print and as a result the colours
    looked drastically different from the catalogue the year before. Printing aside, (as it's a whole other ballgame), it came down to this slight PDF colour change.
    I'm wondering if anyone can help explain this - does CS6 handle colour exporting differently to CS5?

    Hi Eugene,
    Looking up the settings, they say the following:
    InDesign CS5: Unsynchronised "settings are not synchronised for consistent colour"  (odd; CS5 version is where the file exported with accurate colours)
    InDesign CS6: Synchronised "using the same colour settings for consistent colour management"   (CS6 version exported with a colour change)
    Another thing I've realised that might be an issue:
    The product images are still in RGB format (supplied by the photographer), where everything else in the artwork is in CMYK format. I've run a test export where I've converted everything to CMYK and exported it to a PDF.
    The results:
    InDesign CS5: Same colours consistently on both PDFs with RGB images and with all CMYK images.
    InDesign CS6: Green hue across PDF with RGB images in it, Correct colours in PDF with all CMYK images.
    So is this where the problem lies? The CS6 software having Synchronised colour settings shows a colour change when RGB photos are exported to PDF?
    Let me know your thoughts...

  • Problems exporting pdfs in CS2

    Hi everyone. I just started at a new company a few weeks ago and took over a computer from the previous person. My work computer is a PC running Windows XP, 3 GB Ram, running InDesign CS2. When exporting an InDesign document to a PDF, it will sometimes create 2 PDF's; one pdf that is the name I typed and another one where it has the first few letters and a ~ at the end. The pdf that I named will be a blank pdf file, 0KB in size, and adobe reader will give me an error. The other pdf will open just fine but have an odd name(for example, instead of greatwork.pdf, it will be grea~.pdf). Does anyone know what could be causing this? I checked for updates(even though its a few versions behind) and there weren't any available. What should I do? I asked for newer software and hardware but it's out of the question for now. Thanks for any help!

    StixHart, the only time I notice that it doesn't happen is when I name a document with a few numbers like 12345.pdf. I have tried clicking the "View PDF after Exporting" button and the problem still occurs where it saves 2 PDF's.
    Peter, I have tried saving them to both my local hard drive and a network with the same results.
    Is there a file I can delete/check? My work computer also has anti virus software and it shows that the machine is clean.

  • Export pdf problem

    I have a document which I can't export as a pdf properly. I export it but the pdf it creates is nothing like it's meant to be. It has some graphics missing and several other items are just not there and there is a large area with a green to yellow gradient which just appears as solid yellow. A few of the items are there on the page where they're meant to be but that's all.
    If I PRINT to .pdf instead of exporting, it is much better. Everything is at least there and the gradient is fine, but there are scratchy looking lines on the surface of the pdf around some of the graphics. Even thougn in both the export and print I am choosing the highest quality pdf option.
    I thought exporting was supposed to be the right way to do it. Why is it behaving like this?
    Should I just perhaps always print and forget about exporting?

    Your white lines are stitching from flattening the transparency, which always happens when you print to PDF instead of exporting, regardless of the compatibility selected. Distilled PDFs pass through a postscript file which doesn't support transparency.
    Some of the problem in your exported PDF may be due to overprint settings. Be sure to enable the overprint preview in acrobat, and if flattening is occurring, you must also enable "simulate overprint" in the export or print dialog settings.
    Missing images is sometimes caused by OPI comments. Do you have OPI active, or did anything here come from Quark, where it is on by default?

  • Export PDF won't upload, says "unexpected problem" what gives?

    I just purchased the Export PDF and the document I want to upload is 22MB, so size shouldn't be the issues. It comes up as "Failed to Export" -- There was an Unexpected Problem" Please help as this is really pissing me off! Thanks. mm

    Thanks Sarabjit!
    I have found that whether the export works or fails depends on which network I am connected to. The difference between the tested networks have been the firewall rules. Typically company networks vs broadband modems over GPRS/UMTS where the first one fails while the last one succeeds. I would suggest you 1) specify what ports are in use by Export PDF, 2) put this into the requirements for the service, 3) make available support articles with this information and 4) update the error-handling in the program to give the user a more helpful and understandable error message.
    PS! Another suggestion: Why not change the program to use ports that is (in 99%) always open through firewalls?

    Olá bahl2
    Pode, por favor explicar sua dúvida em português mesmo?  Porque, em inglês, está difícil entender o que você precisa :/.
    Você publicou sua pergunta no fórum de scripts de Adobe Illustrator, ao invés do fórum geral. Você está exportando o documento por meio de um script, é isso?
    Quando você se refere a "cortinhos", você se refere a aquelas finas divisões em seu plano de fundo vermelho?
