Exporting PDFs?  Replaces images.

I'm creating a newsletter that includes several pictures on different pages.  I export the Pages document as a PDF and during that transition it copies some of the images and replaces existing images on top.  Help!!

Usually happens because the graohics have the same name.

  • Anti-aliased text when exporting PDF to image

    I need to be able to batch-convert multi-page PDFs to individual bitmap images (one image for each page) with anti-aliased text.
    Photoshop works this way if you open a single PDF, allowing you to select one or more pages to rasterize as separate images, but not when batch processing (specifically, if you use the Image Processor script on a folder of images and PDFs, it will rasterize the PDFs automatically, but it will only do so with the first page of each PDF.)
    Acrobat, on the other hand, automatically creates an image for each page when exporting, and can do this in a batch sequence, but the text is not anti-aliased, making the image look like a screenshot from 1997. No matter how high an image resolution you select, the text is still jagged when you zoom in.
    So, is there a setting I'm missing that will allow the text to be anti-aliased when using Acrobat to export PDF to an image? I am using Acrobat 8, not 9, so something might have changed in the newest version.

    Not sure about Acrobat Pro 8, but in Acrobat Pro 9 (not Extended) you can Export>Image>Multiple Choice: JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, TIFF.  I used JPEG and under the options in the export dialog box, leave the filename as is to coincide with the PDF filename and then choose Maximum Resolution under File Settings: Grayscale (JPEG, Quality:Maximum); Color (JPEG, Quality:Maximum) . . . skip down to Conversion Colorspace: Determine Automatically and Resolution choose 600pixels/inch for a letter size document.  This will result in a file size of 1.3MB per JPEG image if there is not a lot of information on the page.  I chose a simple header, footer with page numbering, and 5 lines of Lorem Ipsum text.  600dpi is overkill, you can go for 300dpi and still result in a decent image that will be able to be printed on a laser photocopier that is connected to a production computer.  Obviously if you are printing to a laser printer or a high quality inkjet 300dpi will suffice as well for a letter sized document.  But I have been told that 300dpi is not a standard rule of thumb and you must obtain specs from your printer since he/she can calculate by very strict rules the dpi you need for your content.  It depends on whether you have background images such as watermarks and also if your text body contains line-art.

  • Exported PDF Shows Images in Adobe Reader X, but Not in Acrobat 9

    I have a user who created and exported a pdf from InDesign. Now when they open it in Acrobat 9 it doesn't display all the images that were added. The Windows XP document preview pane displays the document correctly and if it's opened in Reader X it displays correctly. I've tried updating and repairing. It was suggested before that I go to 'Advanced > PDF Optimizer' and make sure encoding was set to JPEG and to uncheck 'Optimize images on if there is a reduction in size' option. The document has no problems opening on any other computer in Acrobat or Reader. Any suggestions?

    So the option was already checked when opened the document. I went ahead and unchecked, closed, reopened just to test and it's still not displaying correctly.
    In response to Bill@VT. The image is on top of a white background so I can't tell if there is space there or not, it's just all white.
    She showed me another document that's doing something similar today. This time the pdf was done with a green background and now the background shows as white. It was created the same way with Indesign and it shows fine in Reader and the Windows preview pane just not Acrobat. I'm trying to get the user to find the installation media so I can remove and reinstall, but I'm not sure if she will be able to find it.

  • Images not appearing in exported PDF

    I've created a document in InDesign CS5. When i export for PDF some images don't appear in the PDF. The images are either imported JPGs or shapes created in InDesign. Most of the images appear just some don't. I'm not aware of doing anything different in creating/importing these images.
    Has anyone experienced this problem? Can anyone help me out?

    That didn't work, but i copied images from other parts of my document that did work and pasted/resized to replace images that didn't import and that seemed to work.
    still wish i could figure out why it happens in the first place so i don't have to do this other process.

  • Using Adobe Export PDF, I converted a PDF document into MS Word. However, all the images are missing

    Using Adobe Export PDF, I converted a PDF document into MS Word. However, all the images are missing--replaced by black rectangles. How can I fix this? Thanks for any assistance.

    Hi Ravinder,
    As I mentioned in my email to you, I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior your described.  The images appear properly.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.

  • Error "Failed to Export PDF" with big image on CS6 (32) and CC (64)

    Hi everyone,
    I'm on indesign CS6 (v8.0.2) and when I try to export pdf with a very big image ( *.tiff, 25000*35000 pixels, ) , the action failed with this message :" Failed to export a PDF".
    To be sure that there is no any corrupted elements, I made a very simple layout (one page , and just one element for my image,I turnoff prefilgth and all  ressource intensive options, and export with no downsampling or resampling) and try to export with different size image:with 20000*30000 -or smaller -image the export works, always failed with image .The export failed to in scripting mode.
    If I diveded my image in four , the export works but this solution is not convenient (I actually made tests for a fully automatised process, and we want to be sure that the indesign  component is  enough "safe")
    I try the same action with an evaluation version of indesign CC 64 bits (v9.2) and have the same behavior.
    I can imagine that there is a memory issue there, but my config seems to be strong ( windows server 64 with  16GB ram, DD with more than 100GB free). I don't undersant why-in a "full" 64 bit environnement- it is not possible to manipulate and export very large image ?
    I'm wonder If the background task is a part of the problem, and if it 's possible to disable it in CS6 or CC as in cs5 ( creates an  “DisableAsyncExports.txt” file in  Adobe InDesign executable directoty don't seems to disable it  in CC or CS6).
    Thank you for your help and good ideas..
    DC.

    this is a .tif (not a "big"tiff) compressed in LZW or ZIP.
    I just tried with another format (png), the error is the same...

  • Creating a "tabbed" image in an exported PDF or SWF

    I posted about this last year, well in advance of actually doing it, and thought I had the correct answer (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3759403#3759403). However, now that I've had a detailed look at CS6 and tried to create a "tabbed" PDF (my original term, but more correctly called a multi-state object with interactive buttons), I find that it can't be done. Although maybe it can, hence this post.
    I'm trying to make a file (PDF, SWF, whatever) exported from CS6 that can be opened by virtually any novice computer user without hassle. i.e something like a PDF; something my grandmother could open and marvel at the cleverness of her grandson. Here are some options I've tried.
    Method 1
    Export a "tabbed" image from CS6 to Interactive PDF format. Unfortunately, "tabbed" images don't tab. Or have I not ticked the right options when exporting?
    Method 2
    Export to SWF format, with the HTML option ticked. But that seems to generate two separate files: an swf file and a .html file. Clicking on the latter opens the file in a web browser – so far so good, and it works like a charm – but I don't like the idea of two files when I send them to my grandmother. I suppose I could encapsulate both of them in a zip file, tell her to open that, and then open the one with the suffix .html… but you can see the process is getting complicated, probably beyond my poor old Nanna.
    Method 3
    Export to PDF (Print). To get this to work for "tabbed" images, this is what I envisage (not yet tried).
    Say I have three images that I want to overlay and tab between, like you can do in Photoshop. I set up multiple interactive buttons (Next, Back, Skip…), appropriate text anchors, and whatever else is needed, on three separate pages, with the three images in identical locations on those pages.
    The user comes to the first image, checks out the image, then hits Next. The page seems to instantly change to the next image (on the next page).
    The user then hits Next or Back or Skip.
    In the above thought experiment, I think I have simulated "tabbed" images at the cost of additional pages. Any novice user could easily open the document, though I'd have to make sure the navigation is very clear and simple to use.
    I welcome any comments on obtaining "tabbed" images from a document exported from CS6.

    Thanks Bob. I posted a short while ago, but have edited that post.
    With further playing around I was able to get your suggestion working (exporting to SWF, then placing, then exporting as Interactive PDF). Why would I be disappointed if I tried that method with an entire document? My document will probably contain about 200 pages, and maybe 20 of them would have "tabbed" images. What problems would I come across, other than the extra time involved in separately generating 20 pages of "tabbed" images.
    [Added after some testing]:
    One problem I have found is that text is rasterised.
    When I export a page from InDesign to SWF, and then open the SWF file in Flash Player (Projector), text is a vector.
    When the SWF file is imported back into InDesign, and exported as a Interactive PDF, the text ends up rasterised…
    But if I export as SWF, the text is not rasterised.
    CS6 is rasterising the text within a SWF file when it exports to PDF. Is there a way of exporting an SWF file to Interactive PDF so that text is not rasterised?

  • I just purchased Export PDF to Excel and it does not export anything usable. Your terminology should not be "export" but paste image, which is of no value. Please cancel my account and refund my money. What a shame you would advertise this as a product.

  • Best Adobe product for editing PDF, replacing English text with Thai without altering/recompressing images, graphics etc.?

    I have an English language PDF, a medical device brochure, the content of which has already been translated into Thai (in Word). I want to replace the original English in the PDF with the Thai translation easily without altering any other aspect of the brochure, like graphics, images, margins etc. (No doubt I'll have to tweak line height, font sizes and paragraph lengths a little.) I'm unsure of what would be the best Adobe product for this purpose, e.g. Illustrator, InDesign or Acrobat (or something else), that would allow me simply to open the PDF, replace the English with Thai in an attractive Thai font (to be embedded), make minor layout tweaks, then save without any compression so the quality and colours of the original photos, artwork, and graphical elements are preserved. I've heard Office 2013 allows direct editing of a PDF but I'm not sure if it converts, alters or compresses PDF graphics in some way when first opening the file. Could anyone with relevant experience please advise? Thanks in advance.

    Adobe's only offering here is Adobe Acrobat. However, I must say something. I have heard from many people who sought to translate a PDF in this way. NONE SUCCEEDED. PDF is not suitable for this purpose. Obtain the original, this should be part of your contract for translation. If this is impossible, expect to remake the document; Word is probably unsuitable for a brochure of this type, maybe InDesign.

  • !! Exporting SWF file in PDF reduces image quality.

    Hello,
    I have a file with many multi-state picture frames and buttons for them. I export it in pieces in SWF format, then I put the SWF's back in the document as a new layer and export as interactive PDF. Finally everything worked fine, except that PDF opens in a larger then normal zoom and when zooming in on pictures the quality is very poor I am guessing 72ppi at the intended zoom. I check the SWF file and see that its image quality is good when zoomed, so the problem is with the way the PDF has exported the SWF.
    notes: I made sure the settings were to export at 300ppi and high image quality. When I take a single multi-state frame with its associated button and export to SWF then PDF the image quality is maintained.... however I have over 150 image frames, so I rather not export them individually. Please, please reply... any suggestions will be gratefully excepted.

    edit your image in photoshop and experiment with various settings/size.  there's no magic high quality small file size setting.
    it's a trade-off.  the higher the quality and the greater the image dimensions, the greater the file size.  you have to decide where those are acceptable.

  • Images: CMYK to RGB in photoshop or just export PDF in Indesign as CMYK?

    Hello again,
    This community has been of great help no end thus far.
    For my booklet, i would say 90% of the layout is images created in Illustrator. What is best practice here for scans or images which have been screen printed or ar basically RGB?
    I am unsure whether it is worthwhile converting images to CMYK in photsohop and then playing with them in Illustrator and then finally placing in Illustrator because of the following:
    Why do this if on "export PDF"  i can use press settings. Would this not convert EVERYTHING in my Indesign booklet to CMYK ready material???
    I'm unsure what to do?
    Best Regards
    Don

    The only reason you might want to convert to CMYK before export is if, and this is the most important factor, you already know the correct output profile for the device on which this will be printed and you will NEVER want to repurpose the art for another device, and if you want to be able to tweak the image and sharpen after conversion.
    If all you were going to do in Photoshop is convert to CMYK, and not do addtional edits after, there is no advantage, at all, to doing that over converting on export from ID.

  • Parallelogram images showing up on exported PDF

    I'm exporting a PDF (map) from ArcGIS Desktop.  I've worked with Desktop for quite a number of years, and have exported hundreds of similar PDFs.
    During a print test I noticed what appears to be a white band running from one edge of the data frame to another.
    When I fire up Acrobat to view the PDF what I find is that the band is made up of two images next to each other.
    I went through the original map files but can't find anything that would explain these shapes showing up on the PDF.  For what it's worth, exported jpegs look fine.
    This link should take you to a page with a link to the exported PDF.  The red rectangle shows where you can get the images to highlight if you click around a bit.
    Thanks
    Tom

    Don't misunderstand.  I'm not blaming Acrobat or Reader at all.  I was just posting in the hope that someone who might have been working with ArcGIS Desktop (or who recognizes these images) could point me to where the images are being created.
    I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong, but, as I mentioned, I've worked with GIS Desktop for quite a number of years exporting hundreds of PDFs.  I've never seen this happen before.

    Hello
    We have a very large report (100 pages long) and have a series of background images set on the report. When viewing through BO XI R2 DeskI you can see the images, you can print the report. However when saving the report to PDF format the background image is not included on the export.
    Can you advise if it is possible to export the background image out to PDF through DeskI and / or Webi and if so how.
