Exporting SWF from InDesign for presentation

I've exported a swf file for a presentation that uses .flv files. When I open the file in flash it works fine unless I put it in full screen mode. Doing this makes the videos huge/zoomed in. I need to get this done for Monday and I can't work out what I've done wrong. Only a few of the slides have a video on. The others with just a static image work perfectly fine.
Thanks for you help in advance

That´s unfortunate indesign "feature" which is quite hard to work-around.
Check this FAQ, Bugs&Fixes section / FullScreen view does not work properly if videos have been used:

It´s made for eDocker users but I think you may use it also without eDocker, with SWF files exported from InDesign

Exporting graphic from InDesign for Web

Hi Everyone,
My goal is to create some large buttons for the web. I probably should have done this in another program, but since I'm a beginner to Adobe and still learning, I drew them in InDesign, the program I'm most educated on. I created an embossed box with rounded corners and added on some product photos and text.
I copied and pasted the boxes onto a transparent background in Photoshop, the exported them for Web as PNGs. They came out very pixelated. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help!

Copying just takes a scrap of the actual data from InDesign to Photoshop in your workflow. Hence you're getting pixelated output. The best way is to work in Photoshop use Pen tool to make curve corners and then place Photos and add text layers.

Exporting text from InDesign for web use

I am creating graphics in InDesign CS3 on a Mac running OSX. The graphics consist of a box containing explanatory. I do not have the option of doing the text part in another program - the "boss" wants the layout done in InDesign so I would have to do this twice if I use Illustrator or Photoshop (and I'm not sure how to put a lot of text in a box into Photoshop).
When I exported as a jpg using different resolution settings, put the graphic into Dreamweaver, and then put it onto the web, the text was fuzzy. I can't use the Cross Media Export because this needs to go onto the web as a graphic rather than as text. I can't export to a pdf because the person designing the website is insistent that this be a picture.
I'm not sure all the information needed to answer this is included - please let me know if more information is needed. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Jeffrey,
Thank you for your answer. I'm not quite sure what you mean by rasterize in Photoshop. I tried what I thought you meant and the screen and print quality both were worse than simply exporting the InDesign document as a jpg (and that quality is not good enough).
Here is what I did:
I exported the InDesign document as a pdf using Press Quality Print and all of the other settings as defaults. When I opened the pdf in Photoshop, anti-aliasing was checked. I used 300 dpi, RGB, and 8 bit - the defaults. I went into Save as for Web, jpg, and used all of the default settings except that I made the document smaller as it was way too large for the web. I did the same thing for gif - opened the pdf in Photoshop, anti-aliased was checked by default, went into Save as for Web, and kept all of the same settings except to decrease the size of the image.
I'm sure there is something I'm just not understanding, and I hope with this explanation you will be able to have an "ah-ha" moment and point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Marcy

Exporting JPEGs from InDesign CS4

I've exported jpegs from InDesign CS4 for years and each time I get an Export JPEG dialog box that gives me the option to adjust the resolution. Suddenly, when I export to JPEG, I get no dialog box and it automatically creates a JPEG at 300 dpi. I've looked everywhere in Preferences to see if I inadvertently changed settings, but I find nothing. Help?

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.

Exporting Table from Indesign to tagged text.

Hi, all! I need to export table from InDesign to tagged text by the script. I found ExportAllStories.jsx in samples. It's good example but I have some questions 1. In my document more then one table and I need to export only some of them. So, how can I export only one of them? May be Tables have some "labels" or something other differential sign? 2. How can I ser encoding type of distanation file (by the default InDesing set <ASCII-WIN>, but I'm need to set <Unicode>).

Edit>InCopy>Export All Strories.
Open the INDD in InCopy.
This assumes everyone involved has access to the files.

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.

Size & Quality - Exporting Pix from iPhoto for Display and Printing?

I would like to export pictures from iPhoto for use in PowerPoint.
If the pictures are in 4x3 format, exporting them using the "Custom" size option and specifying 1024 as the maximum pixels results in nice 1024 x 768 photos that fill the screen on most projectors. This is good.
The exported photos are also at 72 pixels/inch. This is OK for onscreen display, but not so good for printing.
Oddly, the results are the SAME (1024 x 768, 72 pixels/inch) whether one specifies Low, Med, High or Max quality in the iPhoto export panel -- though the file sizes ARE different (higher quality = larger sizes). (I used Photoshop Elements to identify the sizes of the exported photos).
What gives? I would have thought higher quality files would have been associated with higher resolution (more pixels/inch) but this doesn't seem to be the case, and I don't understand why the file sizes are larger.
Can someone recommend a way to export a batch of photos from iPhoto at a specific size (1024 x 768) and perhaps 300 pixels/inch) that I might use in PowerPoint for both display and printing? And perhaps explain the bloated file sizes with no apparent quality increase?
Many thanks!

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums

DPI is meaningless for a digital photo until you display it - Dots Per Inch are just a meaningless number - the displayed DPI is the size of the photo in dots (pixels) divided by the inches of the display measures in inches - the DPI setting in the photo means nothing - see The Myth of DPI for a longer discussion on this.
Oddly, the results are the SAME (1024 x 768, 72 pixels/inch) whether one specifies Low, Med, High or Max quality in the iPhoto export panel -- though the file sizes ARE different (higher quality = larger sizes). (I used Photoshop Elements to identify the sizes of the exported photos).
What's odd? you said export with the largest dimension 1024 - that occurred just as you specified - what would be odd would be that the export were different form your specification
What gives? I would have thought higher quality files would have been associated with higher resolution (more pixels/inch) but this doesn't seem to be the case, and I don't understand why the file sizes are larger.
Higher quality means less compression (and therefore larger file size) - it does not mean a difference in compression - JPEGs have a compression from 1 to 12 available - iPhoto does 4 steps - small, medium, large and highest. I've not see the compression documented but I think of it as like 3, 6, 9 and 12
Can someone recommend a way to export a batch of photos from iPhoto at a specific size (1024 x 768) and perhaps 300 pixels/inch) that I might use in PowerPoint for both display and printing? And perhaps explain the bloated file sizes with no apparent quality increase?
Forget the DPI - just be sure the pixel sizes are correct - for printing you should have at least 150 dpi and 300 dpi is better - so at 150 DPI printing your 1024x768 photo can be printed at 6.8" x 5.12 " -- at 300 dpi it would only 3.4" x 2.55"

Exporting a PDF X:3 from indesign for Blurb

Ok, I can't seem to get around this problem at all and I'm really getting frustrated. I have an indesign file that I want to export to a PDF X:3 file for blurb. From indesign I click on file>adobe pdf presents> blurb template. Then it asks me to name it, I do, then I click 'save' and the next box comes up with the 'export' button at the bottom. When I click 'export' the box goes away but then nothing at all happens- no status/ progress bar, no other messages, nothing. Then when I click on the PDF file on the desktop (or wherever I saved it) nothing opens, and the file size is listed as 0 bytes, so clearly it is not exporting.
Can someone please tell me what step I am missing to correctly export a PDF X:3 file? Like I said, I'm completely at a loss on this one. Thanks!

It's helpful to check the box to open the PDF when export is complete so you know it's finished. The progress bar, as Manish mentioned, is in the Background tasks panel on CS5 and later, but there is also a little scrolling horizontal lines icon that appears in the menu bar when a background task is working.

Exporting files from InDesign to correct size

Hi,
Hope someone can help. I create multiple ads for many publications and have joboptions set up for each. Brill, saves loads of time!
However, some require the ad to be cropped to bleed size but still include crop marks. How can I export a PDF to the correct size (trimmed to the bleed size with crop marks but without the white space you always get?!). For instance, can you specify the length of the crop marks to make them shorter or just specify the correct trimmed size without the white space?
At the moment I have to specify a bleed of 10mm when exporting from InDesign and then crop 7mm off all round to leave 3mm of bleed in Acrobat with the crop marks (albeit small) remaining on the document.
The ads are delivered via adsend so if they don't pass the specs, they are automatically rejected (gone are the days when someone REAL checked them over – sigh!)
Please, please, has anyone got a solution?!!
I'm using CS5 and Acrobat 9 Pro.
Oh, and I can't seem to print a postscript file or PDF anymore since we got a new crappy printer!

You cannot export from Pages to ID, though you could export to RTF and use File > Place... to import the thext, but you'd need to rebuild the layout.
Placed PDF is essentially a graphic, so your pixelation may just be the default preview quality. Try View > Display Performance > High Quality Display (and you can set this as the default in the prefs). Keep in mind, though, that the imported PDF is not editable in ID.

PDFs from InDesign for print then web?

The workflow is supposed to be: we simply take the PDF files which were created from InDesign and then sent to our printer, and give them to our web service company who has our online edition finished by morning. But we're upgrading our photo processing for the print edition, which results in overly bright photos for printing on newsprint. With a 48 page tiny-town newspaper, it would be a major problem to replace all of the photos in the layout with specially processed ones for web. But we need to have PDFs for our web service company that contain, richer, higher contrast photos for web.
Is there some trick other than manually processing new photos for every page and manually re-linking each one on every page? Maybe CS4 has some feature that makes this easy, i.e., automated web version of an InDesign layout, i.e., links to an alternate folder of photos just for a web version?
CS2 / Mac OS 10.4.11 / various Mac hardware

RGB-workflow is just a way to do things... You can do it in at least CS2, CS3 and CS4 softwares, propably with earlier versions too. It basically means that you adjust your images in some wide RGB gamut, like AdobeRGB, then save them without making CMYK conversion and place them to indesign layout as RGB images. When you export your PDF, you make that RGB-CMYK conversion to all images at once.
Normally people can use same adjustments for both web- and print images. When image is adjusted well, icc-profile that will be used for RGB-CMYK converion will take care of fine tuning like compensating midtones and Total Ink Limits...
In InDesign CS4 you can use Photoshop PSD images with adjustment layers. If you really have to make some adjustment that would be nice to get rid off in indesign, you may toggle visibility of those adjustment layers in InDesigns Object Layer Options tool.
I still suggest that you try to fix your workflow so that you don´t have to make any extra adjustments to images for printing after you have once placed them to indesign layout. It should be possible, millions of publishers do that every day...

Can't Choose Page Range when Exporting PDF from InDesign

Hi! Ever since I upgraded to CS6 via your subscription, I can't choose a page-range when exporting to PDF from InDesign (8.0.1). Here's a video demonstration of the problem so you can see the bug in action: http://screencast.com/t/kYR1ACtNi
Are you aware of this bug? If it's not a bug, how do I fix it?

Alternate layouts are used for things like horizontal and vertical orientations of the same layout for use on tablets. I suspect there's some coverage in the Help files -- being a print guy I don't mess with them.
It may be that you only have one layout and ID just shows you that one inthe dropdown. I can't recall that I ever used the dropdown to try to select the range -- I always just type what I need in the field.

Why exporting eps from InDesign isn't working?

I'm trying to export a brochure cover from InDesign as an eps to open in PhotoShop (to create web image). The eps won't open in PhotoShop. I've also tried exporting the cover page as a jpeg. This will not open in PhotoShop either. The message says it's not the right kind of document. My InDesign updates are current and I've rebooted to see if that would help. Any ideas?

I believe I have the problem solved (thanks to forums!). I had a couple of
images that needed to be relinked within the brochure. Once that was done,
the brochure cover exported just fine. In PhotoShop I just clicked open >
.eps file and it did it's thing.
THANKS SO MUCH for trying to help me out!

Export SWF from AE CS6

I used to be able to export SWF files directly from AE CS3. But am having difficulty performing that same task in CS6. Under FILE/EXPORT there is an option to choose "Adobe Flash Player (SWF)". However, when I output the file it appears to start rendering, then almost immediately the render window dissapears. I don't receive any kind of error message at all. It simply creates an SWF file with no content in it. Does anyone have an idea what the issue might be?

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.
