Exporting playlists with PDFs

I have 2 mac laptops and have recently imported my Itunes library from one to the other (exporting the library, moving it to the other laptop, and then importing it).
However, a few of my playlists mix mp3 and PDFs. On those, only the mp3s were exported correctly. I tried exporting only the playlist as opposed to the whole library, but to no avail.
I can copy the PDFs into the new playlist, but they won't mix with the mp3 in the same order.
As they are language files which go with mp3 lessons, and there are about 1200 of them, putting everything back together in the right order by hand is rather troublesome.
Do you know of anyway to export the whole playlist, mp3 and PDFs, in the right order ?
thanks a lot !

Whoops, I should've been more specific I am not trying to open a file on InDesign. I created an Interactive PDF on InDesign and am now trying to export it so that I can share it with my teacher. The intent is set for web. When I try to export as an Interactive PDF, it will not let me. I get this message when I try- "cannot open the file. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application." This could be because I have it set to "Preview after saving". It saves the document but when I try to open the document on my computer to preview it, it won't work.

Pages from iPad - Export issues with pdf, word

issues when exporting documents out of Pages from iPad using pdf, and getting... "Cannot extract the embedded font 'VZEENN+Georgia-Bold'. Some characters may not display or print correctly". I have 10.5.8 and Adobe latest version 9.4... I have also tried different and more universal fonts on Pages like Arial or Helvetica with no success... Really frustrating to have so critical bugs. Any work arounds from anyone? Thanks!

Yes, you can send the file as an email attachment to yourself and open it on a computer and print.
You can use DropBox to place the files on the computer to print
These are easiest if the file is saved (exported) as a PDF file so it is portable.
You can also use an AirPrint enabled printer and print directly from the iPad without going through the computer. But buying another printer is much more expensive than the cost ($20) of Pages for the MBP.
If you already have a wireless printer, you can try the website for the manufacturer and see if there is an upgrade for the printer to enable it for AirPrint.

Export Problems with PDF to Word

I have recently subscribed to export pdf and now wish to use this facility. Document has been uploaded to desktop and upon activating icon in tool bar export screen appears. After logging in I am then asked to subscribe and it won't allow me to continue. After going in through the export home page I am told I do not have any trial documents left!! Where to now?
Does this product covert photos that are also contained in the document?

Help with exporting data from pdf form

I have about 100 pdf forms that I created in adobe forms central and distributed as a pdf form (rather than on the web). I am trying to export the data into a spreadsheet but when I export it, the fields are all jumbled in the csv file, as in they are not in the same order. I need to export the data all together so I'm going to the forms menu and selecting "manage form data" and then selecting "merge data files into spreadsheet". I tried exporting a single file but that gave me something really weird.
Please help, I have a deadline next week to analyze this data and can't make sense of it once it is exported to a spreadsheet.

Would you please share your form with me and send me one of your pdf forms and some of the csv files?
You can share your form by doing the following:
1. Click on the “Share” icon on the bottom left corner.
2. Click on “Add Collaborator” on the popup menu.
3. Enter [email protected] under “People to share with”.
4. Set subject to "Export data from pdf form"
5. Click the “Share” button on the bottom right of the dialog.

Problem with PDF 1.3-Export: Photoshop-Files with transparency over InDesign colored objects

Hello!
I'm using InDesign CS6.
I'v finished now a layout for a folder, and I put a photoshop-image with transparency over a InDesign-rectangle which I have filled with a cmyk-color in yellow.
When I export a PDF with the Settings "PDF X-3:2002" (with PDF-Standard 1.3) the Photoshop-image shows uggley jagged edges at the border to the InDesign-colored background. However, the Photoshop-images which are over another bitmap-image (as background), this images don't show this annoying edges.
When I export to PDF-Standard 1.4 the problem doesn't occor, however my printing-service requests PDF 1.3.
I know, the workaround for this problem is, to replace the yellow background-color with an bitmap-file with the same color, but is there any other option to get a correct result without this more time-consuming image trick?
I think it has to do with the transparency reduction which is necessary if using PDF 1.3. When I examine the PDF-File in Illustrator, this edges occurs mostly at the borders from the tiles in which the image is cut during the transparency reduction process. Although, if I open the rendered PDF in Photoshop this jagged edeges are visible, so it is definitly a render error.
I would be glad if someone of you has a solution for this problem, in the attachment is an image which illustrate the problem.
Best wishes

Find another printer.
End of problem. It really saddens me to think that these Luddites are
still in business making no effort to move into the 21st century.

Issue with pdf file exported out of Pages

Hi all,
I created a Pages document. I am able to export it to pdf. The pdf document looks fine. However if a user (PC or Mac, different computers) tries to copy text out of the created pdf document and paste it into another application (whatever the appli), the pasted text contains only ONE word per line. This is extremely annoying since I want to share my pdf file with people who will need to copy/paste part of my text.
I am a new convert to Pages. This was my first "real" document creation. I tried with other documents and they did not have this strange behavior. This suggests there is something specific in my pages document that creates this behaviour.
Please help,
thanks,
laurent

The pdf document looks fine.
PDF 1.x embeds the font data to be drawn in the document after stripping and subsetting the intelligent font on disk. If you want to share graphic appearance, then PDF is generally a good idea.
However if a user (PC or Mac, different computers) tries to copy text out of the created pdf document and paste it into another application (whatever the appli), the pasted text contains only ONE word per line. This is extremely annoying since I want to share my pdf file with people who will need to copy/paste part of my text.
PDF 1.x does not embed ('encode') the input of characters, PDF 1.x embeds ('encodes') glyphs from which characters are inferred if the POST table in the intelligent font has the font-independent glyph identifiers for TrueType fonts from which characters can be inferred, or, if a PostScript font is used, if correct font-independent glyph identifiers were used in the PostScript name array.
PDF 1.x also does not necessarily embed ('encode') logical content information that defines a concept of 'tables', 'columns' and more as extractable blocks of copy.
If you want to share character information and content information (logical structure), then PDF 1.x is generally not such a good idea.
Subsetting and stripping of intelligent fonts is done in a higher system level service than streaming into PS, so the suggestion that streaming into PS solves anything, though sometimes found in user fora, is not a sound one, "It (font subsetting, ed) is happening WAY BEFORE it hits PS - it is done up in Quartz and the PDF generator so the pdf->ps component is already getting subset fonts," Leonard Rosenthol in 2003, Adobe PDF Standards Architect since 2006.

Indesign CS5 - Problems with PDF-Export

Hello community,
we do have a problem with Indesign CS5 and exporting data into PDF. It is about that logo on that white surface, which doesnt come along with the rest after the pdf-export. What we did was: We created that white surface in Indesign itself, put an effect on it with the Indesign effect gallery and then imported the logo in the surface ... the logo itself is .psd data. So, if we export it into pdf like that, it is just dissapeared. Does anyone have had a similar problem and what can be done about it?
By the way ... if you put, for example, a simple backgroundshadow on a picture ... done also with the Indesign effect gallery, then you get just a white surface instead of the shadow, after the export into pdf. It does maybe correlate with the other problem ... not sure. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much for your help and kind regards ...

I would create the entire logo, including the white background, in Illustrator, save as PDF and place that in ID.

Fonts Not Embedding Consistently with PDF Export - Inconsistent Fix and Unknown Cause

I have had ongoing problems with PDF export from FrameMaker. Sometimes the correct fonts do not embed in the PDF and Times New Roman is substituted. The problem appears and disappears and is causing me a lot of lost time and frustration.
I am running FrameMaker 9.0 fully patched on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have seen people complain about this issue and am familiar with the suggested fixes. However, the exact cause and solution eludes me because the problem continues to recur and I am only able to recover with guesswork and workarounds.
Initially I did the following:
ACROBAT PDF SETTINGS
- In the printer properties for Adobe PDF settings I turned off the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use documents fonts."
ACROBAT DISTILLER SETTING
Under "Font" Settings I changed the following:
- Under "Settings/Font Locations" I added the font folder for Technical Communication Suite 2.0 and made sure all the fonts existed there and in the Windows default font directory.
- Under "Settings/Edit Adobe PDF Setting/Fonts" I changed the following options:
- Selected "Embed all fonts"
- Under "Embedding" chose "Always Embed" for the target fonts.
I tweaked these settings for hours and got no results. Then I rebooted and the problem had magically disappeared. I fixed the issue in the same way on another machine and the results were permanent and I was just happy to finally have it fixed, But this time it didn't last.
I should note that upon reboot, when I used the stock "PDF Job Options," the correct fonts still embedded, leading me to believe that the fix had nothing to do with the changes I made to Distiller settings.
After reboot I generated PDFs with the correct fonts embedded. Then I shut down FM, but left the system running. The next morning I opened FM again and the same problem occurred.
So I rebooted again -- and the problem disappeared again. I therefore thought maybe the issue fixes on reboot but recurs when you shut down FM and reopen. So I shut down FM again and reopened, but it is still working fine for the moment.
I verified that the Adobe PDF settings under "Printers & Devices" that I turned off (Rely on system fonts only; do not use documents fonts) remained correctly unchecked through all these changes.
I would really like to know why this happens so I can resolve it permanently and avoid more lost time.
Thanks in advance,
Douglas

The common theme I'm seeing here is that the setting edits you make in
Distiller through the FM "Save As PDF" option don't seem to take effect.
Do you know if that is true or could you elaborate on the notorious nature
of this method for me?
>
There are too many potential and transient problems to list. The only thing
I can say is that I've been an active member of the FrameUsers listserv
(http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/listinfo/framers) since FM version 6.0,
circa 2001, and probably 95% of the PDF problems reported there have been
fixed simply by using print to Adobe PDF (or to Acrobat Distiller in older
PDF versions), instead of using Save as PDF. Common advice there has always
been to avoid Save as PDF and even some Adobe employees have recommended
against using it. It doesn't matter which FM version.
The once-busy FrameUsers listserve has been fading away, recently, as this
new Adobe forum software allows reading via e-mail, and attachment of
screenshots. Even if you look around on this forum now, you'll probably
find that there are two main fixes for issues with PDF. One is NOT using
Save as PDF, which seems to fix a whole bunch of issues. The other is the
use of a Windows hotfix to squash a Windows OS bug that causes dropped
characters in PDFs.
In the rare instances that someone has issues with printing to PDF, they are
almost always related to errors in settings. Or occasionally someone can't
embed fonts because they are trying to the embed the virtual fonts that come
with their printer driver instead of fonts that have actually been installed
on their computer. (The fonts are hard-wired on their printer, so the system
can use them but not embed them.)

Another pdf export problem with graphics missing

well, it seems that there have been quite a few export probs w/pdf.
i created some somewhat complex graphic files (wine labels) using keynote. then transfered them over to pages so that i would be able to print them
more easily. when transfering them to pdf files i lose some graphics.
the graphics that i lose are chinese characters...but only SOME of them.
i've tried pdf/x, still the same problem, but then i have that funny shaded
box around my letters.
i've tried exporting directly from keynote, but the pdf image is markedly
smaller than the oringinal document (with the comments hidden).
any ideas...even the genius bar is stumped.
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

In general, if some Chinese characters behave in one way and some other ones in another, it is often because one uses the wrong kind of font. If you for example have the (simplified) character 话 and use a font for traditional Chinese it may sometimes fail - especially in MS Word.
That said, I cannot reproduce your particular problem here. Both Keynote and Pages seem to handle this as well as they possibly can for me.
Two things you can try:
1. Change font, to make sure that it matches the character.
2. Create another account on your Mac and see if you still have the same problem.
What did the characters look like? Any fancy formatting with shadows or colours?

InDesign cs6 crashes when exporting objects with drop shadows to interactive PDF

I am using the trial version of InDesign CS6 on a mac OSX 10.7.4 I need to export my document as an interactive PDF. I have found that the export works fine so long as none of the objects within my document have a drop shadow. However, if I add a drop shadow to any object (text, images, or video) InDesign will crash when I try to export. I am adding the drop shadow by selecting the object and then choosing Object > Effects > Drop Shadow. Is there another method I should be using to add the shadow if I want to export to an Interactive PDF?

Hi Peter, thanks for the response. Yes, I have tried creating a new blank project and adding one text object with a drop shadow and then exporting to Interactive PDF, and I experienced the same result. I tried replacing my preferences as you suggested and found that it did not have any affect.
I continued developing my InDesign document without using any drop shadows and began to experience the same type of crashing under two more circumstances. 1. When relinking assets in my Links panel. 2. When exporting to interactive PDF with interactive objects that are being clipped (I get a warning telling me I have clipped objects before I export; when I click export I experience the same crash.) I have tried exporting the same file to a print (non-interactive) PDF and experienced no crashing.
I thought I should mention that I am using a retina display mac book pro with 16GB RAM. Could my graphics cards or the configureation of my machine be causing my issue?
Thanks so much,

Problem with diacritics when export in Acrobat(PDF)

Hello,
I use reporting service from Sql Server 2008 R2 and I have a problem when I export in Acrobat(PDF) format. All the 'ș' and 'ț' are after export in pdf just a square.
Can you please help me. Thanks.

Hi Alin-g,
SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services supports Adobe Acrobat 6 or later. So, please make sure your current Acrobat version meets the requirement.
Besides, the font in the PDF format may be different with that in the HTML rendering extension because GDI font substitution in those formats behaves differently. If there is a font missing on the client, you might see characters replaced with boxes (□).

Issue with exported playlist song order

I exported a playlist (with the playlist sorted on the manually arranged order, far left column) as a .xml file using iTunes 7.0.2. When a friend imports this playlist into his iTunes (7.0.1) the song order is incorrect (again with sorting done on the far left column). When I look at the exported XML file with a text editor the order of the song entries is also wrong in the XML file. Has anyone elsed noticed this problem?

Actually, I looked more closely in the text editor and the playlist order looks correct so there appears to be an issue with 7.0.1 (I guess).

PDF export - problems with displaying tables

Hi,
I have nice and neat rtf template with some text and big table. It looks fine, but when I export it to PDF it starts the table from new page, not just below the text, which results in 75% blank page. How can I fix it?

We are using the PDF Export 8.3.7 version, and are having a similar problem. We have a Word file (.doc) with an embedded graphic. Inside the graphic is a table (the original graphic was created some where else and had text and a table, then an image was made of that which was then embedded as a graphic in the Word document). The problem is that the table does not render corretly - the last row of data is not displayed. Oddly, if in the resulting PDF/A output you highlight the region where the data should be displayed, and copy that to Word/Notepad, the data is there, the issue seems to be in rendering the data to make it visible in the rendered PDF/A output. We see other problems with tables in other files, for example some tables are rotated ninety degrees.
Will there be a fix to PDFExport anytime soon?
Thanks,
Kevin

Problem exporting booklet with tab dividers to pdf

Hi, I have an Indesign document that has different page sizes (because some pages have tab dividers). I need to export it to pdf as a booklet, however I've found some problems:
- When I choose the "Spreads" option, the page 2 is facing the page 3 but I need the document as a booklet, so the page 2 sould be facing the one that is before the last page).
- When I choose the "pages" option and then select the "booklet" option in Acrobat Pro, for some reason there's a big space between the 2 pages (the size of each page is like 1/4 of a letter size page). I mean, the 2 pages are not
- As I said before, some pages have tab dividers so, when I'll print it, I have to cut the tabs that are not usefull in each page. However the document is a booklet, so I need that the page behind the one I'm cutting has it's information adjusted so I don't lose some of the data.
I would really appreciate any help you can give me.

For professionell printers ist is not a problem. If you wnat to give it away for printing, don't impose it yourself. Deliver the pdf with single pages and bleed and communicate with the printer. Imposing is their job.
I would not use the booklet funktion inside InDesign.
For your case, when you need to print it on a Laser Printer, I would use the print booklet function in Acrobat Pro.
Problem is here for you, that the pages have different sizes. If you have no plans to give it to a printer make all pages to the same size and cut it later. If you need both, create an alternative Layout with same sized pages and us the second one for Laser Printing.

Trouble with PDF Export from ID CS6

I am having the following problem with PDF exported from an ID CS6 document. I have a couple of pages where a b&w photograph is partly covered by a non-wrapping text frame and in that text frame there is blue text. In ID it looks like this:
It also looks like this in the exported PDF in Apple Preview.app and for most of these pages they also look good in Acrobat Pro. But two are giving me trouble. They look like this:
and sadly, they also look that way when Ingram tries to use them. I export using the typical print format PDF/X-1a:2001
I have a minimal ID document that shows the problem with 3 such pages, one with the problem.

Select one of the troublesome objects and open the attributes panel as well as the effects panel.
Give us a screenshot.
