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.

  • How do I compress a pdf with Create PDF so that I can attach it to e-mail?

    How do I compress a pdf with Create PDR so that I can attach it to e-mail?

    Hi, Blue Mamba.
    Your file is automatically compressed when using the CreatePDF service to convert from some other file type (e.g. Word, Excel) to PDF. For example, most PowerPoint files get compressed 50% to 90% over their original size.
    If there is a particular file you're converting to PDF using the CreatePDF service, and you are not seeing the size savings that you would like, please provide more details.
    Thanks.

  • Cannot export to PDF with grayscale PDF in layout

    IDCS5.5, MacPro, OSX 10.7.4
    I am working on a grayscale teacher’s guide that accompanies a CMYK schoolbook. The introduction pages contain miniature pages of the workbook (formatted as grayscale PDF), but InDesign refuses to output those pages as PDF ("Impossible d’exporter le fichier PDF"), or when it does produce a PDF (when exporting page by page), Acrobat warns of a possible problem and stuff is missing on the resulting page, not necessarily from the grayscale minipages.
    I have tried grayscale PDFs created from the original CMYK PDFs in Acrobat Pro X, grayscale PDFs exported from the original CMYK file in InDesign CS6, PDFs reduced to 20% in InDesign, PDFs reduced to 20% with a third-party application and imported in ID at 100%, and all sort of variations on the export values. The problem is also present in InDesign CS4 (after exporting the file as IDML) and in CS6.
    The thing is, there is no problem at all if I use the CMYK PDF version of the minipages (I then turned the resulting PDF into grayscale with Acrobat Pro X). But the printer expects to see only grayscale images in a grayscale job, not color... and a Photoshop version of those minipages is not acceptable.
    Has anybody encountered that problem? Can you reproduce it, i.e. can you export to PDF if you use any type of grayscale PDFs in your layout?

    FOUND IT! Inspired by Rob solution, I was able to export my InDesign CS5.5 document containing some grayscale PDFs to PDF/X-3:2002 (and PDF/X-1a:2001), with or without the standard, but without converting to destination. For some reason, it does not work with PDF/X-4:2008, nor with any of the other presets.

  • Acrobat Standard 6 and Reader 9: Outlook opens PDF with Standard

    Background: We have one PC with Acrobat Standard 6 serving well enough for creating PDF's, but we also have Reader 9 installed on that machine to open certain newer-format PDF's that we download or that are emailed to us.
    Issue: Reader 9 opens PDF's on the hard drive and PDF's online via either Internet Explorer or Firefox (so the Windows file type associations seems to be OK), but Outlook Express persists in opening PDF email attachments with Acrobat Standard 6.
    Anyone know how to fix this? (I'm fine with making changes to the Registry if that will do it.)
    --John Hupp

    I'm having a similar problem and am totally frustrated.
    I have an old version of acrobat reader 5, but today I downloaded reader 9, but when I click on .pdf files online, I get the same message saying that I need reader 8 or 9 to open files on the web.... which I have!
    I went in, after reading this thread, and made sure my 5 had the "display PDF in browser" UNCHECKED, and that it WAS checked in 9... but still no dice. For a few years now I've been unable to just click on and open pdf files online, and have been going a long route around by right clicking pdf's, clicking on "save target as", saving the files to my desktop, then opening reader 5 and going to file, open, and opening the file. What a huge pain in the butt though... all I want to do is be able to click pdf files and open them in my browser!!
    Oh, and another bizarre thing that has happened is that since installing reader 9, all the icons on every pdf file on my computer has changed to the icon windows uses for files of an unknown type. Can't figure out why since when I double click any of these files, they open right up in reader 9.
    I'm beyond irritated with trying to figure this out, so I'm open to any suggestions anyone has!

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - Will it print to pdf with embedded pdf's from Word 2007?

    Hello All,
    We're considering upgrading to Acrobat 9 Pro or Extended.  One of our concerns is whether it will handle the following:
    1. We create very large documents and we like the ability to use OLE of existing PDF documents imbedded into Word 2007 which causes a new PDF window  to open up from the imbedded PDF.  It also displays nicely as an icon or the cover page within Word.
    2. The challenge is when printing (distilling) that master document with any imbedded PDFs, the icon or cover page is displayed, but the OLE feature goes away and does not recognize the imbedded PDF any longer; Acrobat simply treats the imbedded PDF in Word as any other page in the distilling process.
    3. We're not wild about bookmarking or linking to another PDF.
    Does Acrobat 9 Pro or Extended resolve this issue?

    The options availible for scripted print settings are all shown in the entry for "PrintParams" object in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.  Have you looked to see if these options fit your needs?  If they do, and if the script can detect which PDF requires which options, then  you're in business.  But if the options you need are not there, then your only option is to set the batch process to display the print dialog for every PDF.

  • Openeing a pdf with native pdf reader: openwithdefaultapplication

    Hello,
    Wondering if anyone can help on this one. From what I have read AIR for android does not support openwithdefaultapplication. The device I am developing for , the Motorola Xoom does not support pdf viewing in StageWebView or the browser. I have tried stagewebview and navigatetourl witn no success. So is it possible to open my pdf's with the native pdf viewer, calling it from my flex mobile app, developed in FB4.5 Any tips/ links sample code on how to do this, if it is possible would be great.
    Thanks

    Just to let everyone know. The answer
    Rangora gave was the correct solution for my purposes. I actually found this link (below) a while ago which takes you through it and gave me some inspiration. Its a java hack and not the prettiest solution. Lets hope Adobe and Android provide something a little more useful in the future
    http://www.jamesward.com/2011/05/11/extending-air-for-android/
    This (above) is if you want to open local files with the native/default application. I actually managed to extend this and get it to open a file with its default application (not just pdfs, any type as long as the tablet has a software that can open/support the type)
    For the unitiated who have found this post: WebView is only good for loading webpages and pdfs wont load on HoneyComb devices this way. You can get PDFs to display in a browser with PDF plugin on Honeycomb devices, but only from a hosted file location (webserver) which wasnt any good for my purposes
    The link above is currently the only way to open local files with their default application
    Thanks to all for your participation

  • Can I "Print to PDF" with Adobe PDF Pack?

    ONe of the reasons I purchased PDF pack is because it says that I can "print to PDF" which is said to mean that when I go to print something that one of my choices of printer besides my HP should be Adobe. I don't see anything in my drop down of printers that wasn't there before I purchased the PDF PACK. I have rebooted and everything and still nothing is there. Can you help?

    Hi geolog12 and remedy111,
    If you're on Windows, you can use the CreatePDF Desktop Printer to "print" to PDF from almost any application. You'll find a link to the installer on the Create PDF page when you're logged in to the PDF Pack account.
    Here are the instructions for installing it: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/kb/using-pdfpack.html#main_adobePDF_desktop_printer

  • Can i optimize a pdf with the pdf pack?

    hi! I've been using acrobat pro in order to benefit from the optimization feature which helps reduce the weight of the files in order to mail them. I was wondering if the pdf pack which has a much lower cost offers this feature. Thank you very much. Alfonso

    No, PDF optimization is only available on Acrobat Pro.

  • Resizing PDFs with Adobe PDF Pack

    Our office uses Adobe PDF Pack for combining PDFs and conversions. However, when we send reports via email our PDF attachments are too large for the email to be sent.  Is there a way to resize the file using Adobe PDF Pack, or do we need to buy Adobe Acrobat (I know using Adobe Acrobat to resize you do the PDF Optimizer)?
    Thank you in advance.

    Yes, you'll need Acrobat Pro. (which has the optimizer) to reduce the file size of a PDF.

  • Problem with Copying PDFs to any application other than iBooks

    OK here is my problem,
    I used to be able to associated PDFs with other PDF readers (via iTunes > APPS > File Sharing). I just dragged and dropped and all was right in my world. However, all of a sudden this stopped working. I have no clue as to what caused this problem to arise. The only thing I remember 'doing' was adding some new apps.
    I cannot use the PDFs through iBook, well I can but it doesn't meet my needs (highlighting, copying and pasting and adding notes). So instead I want to use PDF HD. I used to have on PDF Masker and Good Reader, but neither does what I want.
    Suggestions?

    Hello Sin K,
    so proxy and Tomcat are located on different machines as well? Is the proxy able to commuicate with the Tomcat on the configured internal ports and is the proxy able to lookup the hostname you configured for the Tomcat?
    For the connector, the proxyName and proxyPort should be the parameters the client uses to call APEX. So if your clients should call via http://proxyserver:8080/testsin/apex the settings would be
    proxyName=proxyserver
    proxyPort=8080Reason for this is that applications (e.g. the APEX Listener) generate there URL references with these parameters.
    But does your proxy actually serve on port 8080? And is that port accessible by clients? Do clients accept cookies from that server?
    In my case, there is only one 302 which redirects to http://host:port/apex/f?p=4500:1000:sessionid which is correct.
    If you look into your first post request in firebug, what's in the request header?

  • How can I export a smallformat flatten PDF-file with transparant parts in?

    My post on a PDF - more clear with images (english):
    http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-eng.pdf
    Deze post in nederlandstalige versie:
    http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-nl.pdf
    Scope?
    I'dd like to export an Indesign-file (.indd) to a PDF-file that has to be:
    - the smallest possible file size
    - which displays images and text sharp on the screen
    - which also certainly remain transparent parts of .psd-files after exporting
    - that is flattened for easy print
    The problem?
    ▪ How and with which of settings can I export such a file from InDesign 5.0?
    ▪ If necessary in combination with some settings (after exporting) in our Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
    Further explanation
    The export file contains lots of text, graphics, photographs and drawings. Many of these items are .psd-files that contain transparent areas. The intention is that this transparent parts actually remain transparent even after exporting/flattening /decreasing the PDF.
    ▪ With InDesign 5.0?
    → In the window Export Adobe PDF: (images see: http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-eng.pdf )
    Should I start from a default PDF preset   (if yes > which one??)
    Possibilities are: High Quality Print / PDFX-1a: 2001 / PDFX-3:2002 / PDFX-4:2007 / Press Quality / Smallest File Size
    Or is it better to create a PDF preset on my own?     (if yes > which settings??)
    Standard > PDF/X-format?
    Compatibility > PDF-version?
    Compression > If artwork should be compressed and downsampled, and if so,
                            which method and settings to I have to use ?
    Ouput > How can I control colors and PDF/X output intent profiles in the PDF-file?
    Advanced > How can I control fonts, OPI specifications, transparency flattening, and JDF instructions are
                      in the PDF file?
    ▪ With Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
    → How can I reduce the file size extra, so more reducing after exporting into PDF ?
    → How can I flatten the exported file (if not done during the export) ?
    !! Important, when I export/reduce/flatten the file, I ‘dd like that the parts of images who were transparent before, stays also transparent after !!
    WHAT CAN I DO ??

    Hello,
    I'm sorry you're having trouble. Unfortunately, this forum is for the ExportPDF service of Acrobat.com. The ExportPDF service functions as a PDF to *.docx file convertion and we can't help with problems specific to the desktop version of Acrobat or InDesign.  I'm happy to point you in the right direction.
