Exporting to pdf in InDesign Issues

I am using CS 5.5 and working in InDesign. I created a journal ad that had an .eps product logo that I created as well. I exported the InDesign document to a Press Quality pdf and the pdf looked fine. When printed I am getting an added stroke around a couple letters in the logo but not around all the letters. Looking for help to fix this problem!

Thanks. I will try that. Any reason why this would happen now and not in the past? We usually create our logos in Illustrator and use .eps files in InDesign quite often. We've never ran into this before. This is probably the first time we used a press quality pdf for a project since we have had 5.5 and i'm wondering if it something to do with the upgrade.

  • Having trouble exporting to pdf from InDesign CS6

    When I attempt to export to pdf from InDesign CS6, the application crashes. Apparently there is some phantom plug-in issue.
    I need to get this resolved asap.
    Thank you,

    Have a look at this generic document to help you troubleshoot: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/troubleshoot-printing-pdf-export-indesign.html
    Could you also provide details about what you've tried, and what errors you encountered? Is this problem limited to a particular document, or all documents?

    Export the pdf from indesign some error Pop Up window (Failed to Export the PDF file). How slove the problem
    Please some one help on this

    You need to try exporting the first half of the book.
    If that exports ok then export the other half of the book.
    Whatever half it fails on - keep dividing the book in half to find the culprit page or pages.
    For example if your book is 128 pages long:
    1. Export pages 1 - 63
    2. If these Fail to Export then
    3. try exporting1-32
    4. If these Fail to Export
    5. then try exporting1-16
    If it doesn't fail (step 2)
    Then export pages 64-128
    and 64-90 etc.
    until you find the pages causing the issues.

  • Exporting a pdf in indesign CS5 interactive portfolio, the buttons dont work?

    interactive PDF using Indesign, Export problems
    im working on an interactive portfolio, its got 6 pages and four of them have buttons which scroll through alternative images which relate to that page. All very simple stuff. as far as im aware its all set up properly and in preview its working like a dream. As soon as i export > adobe pdf (interactive) > i tick buttons and media Include All  but when i open the finished pdf i wont let me use the buttons. they are acknowledged by the fact that when i hoover over them there is a tin black box that apears but the actual button its self wont work.
    if anyone knows how to export such a file so i can share with people as an interactive portfolio i would be most grateful. thanx

    Or, better than that, export the PDF from InDesign as PDF/X-4!
    By default, Acrobat and Reader use overprint preview when displaying PDF/X-4 files. Plus you have the benefit of full color management and not having transparency ruined by premature flattening.
    One other note. Other than for the fairly common practice of overprinting black text over colors to avoid halo effects due to registration, one should be exceptionally careful in using overprint. Trapping, the other good, justifiable use for overprint is really best performed by the RIP. Most modern RIPs provide for automatic trapping. Overprint should absolutely not be used as a “poor man's transparency,” especially in conjuction with spot colors. With the advent of real transparency in the Adobe imaging model and hence in Illustrator, InDesign, and PDF, there is no good reason to use overprint hacks anymore to simulate transparency.

  • Exporting a pdf from InDesign-need to access Overprint

    I am exporting an InDesign CS5.5 Document with mixed ink and Illustrator eps with pantone overprints.
    When I export it into PDF the native mixed ink in InDesign represent accurately.
    However the Illustrator eps preview as solid gray @ 70%. This is the overprint layer onto of Pantone 293.
    When I turn on Print preview in pdf it is accurate.
    My question is:
    In the export to pdf palette under the output header, there is a check box 'simulate overprint'.
    I've tried several different variations, but cannot get that check box to turn on.
    Unlease I make an X-1a file the overprint for the Illustrator eps does not preview without turning on the output preview palette in Acrobat.
    And lets face it, to the client, that is rocket science.
    How can I access the 'Simulate Overrpint' option when I am exporting the document.
    Thanks,
    J-

    Anyone know how to export a PDF from InDesign so it is "click to go to next page" instead of "scroll to go to next page"?

    I don't use the latest InDesign, but in the past ID's options for exporting to PDF did not allow setting how a PDF should be viewed once exported.  However, these settings can be adjusted in Acrobat through Preferences: check out Page Layout and Zoom under Page Display.

  • InDesign export to PDF Print color issues

    Hey there,
    I'm working on a document in InDesign, have been for many hours now.  So far whenever exporting to PDF print there have been no problems.  Now all of a sudden, if I change a color in the InDesign file and export to PDF, nothing actually changes on the PDF anymore.
    Any idea what's going on? Did I accidentally change a setting or something?
    Example:  Say I have a shape that's Black. I export it, it's black.  Now, I go into the document and change the shape color to Yellow, export it; still black.
    Regards,
    SL

    Chrome's built-in PDF browser does not even begin to conform to the PDF specification. It might be fine to read PDF files from the simplest of Word documents, but not output from any graphic arts source.
    (The same is true for Apple's Preview application under MacOS and their PDF viewer under iOS!)

  • Trying to export to PDF from InDesign CS6 but nothing happens

    I'm in InDesign CS6 and when I export to PDF, nothing happens. I have other files with the same format and they are exporting fine. I tried putting all the content into a new document but it still doesn't work. Has anyone else had this issue?
    Thank you!

  • Can I export a PDF in InDesign Server and return it to the calling client?

    Using Java/CORBA between a client machine and InDesign Server, I would like to:
    1. Make a remote call to InDesign server  to create a document, passing IDML as a parameter on the call
    2. Make another remote call to InDesign server to export a PDF, returning the PDF on the call return.
    Is this possible? I notice that the doExport method does not return a PDF to the calling client. Instead, it saves the PDF on the server. I don't see any apis which would allow me to do the above.
    The use case here is a web application which need to "preview" an image. The image consists of a template and some variable data which is sent to an InDesign server for composition and is returned as an image.
    Thanks for any help.

    I fail to see the issue. You have added crop marks, have you not? For all intents and purposes those are marks that are supposed to be visible and printable for cutting in the real world. If you don't want them, don't use them. Acrobat can generate them on the fly for printing, anyway.

  • Export interactive pdf with InDesign CS4 (linked avi)

    Hello
    I've exported an avi linked video to pdf from InDesign CS4. Video is playing but I have a few questions.
    1. Any way to get around the security stuff in Acrobat? Allow blocked content blocked, etc. without user needing to allow.
    2. Does the export degrade (lower) video quality if the video is linked? End user said video quality was poor.
    Thanks.
    Dave

    Current Acrobat versions will have security issues. The only way I know is to go into Acrobat's preferences for Multimedia, Trust Manager and Security to allow from certain sources. I haven't done that, so you should probably ask advice on the Acrobat forum.
    Linking video should have no effect on quality. It's all in how you've encoded the video.

  • How do I export to PDF in InDesign without the hidden layers

    Hi there
    This is probably a simple solution but I am trying to export a document to PDF in InDesign without the hidden layers.
    i.e - I have created a document that includes images etc from an existing PDF.
    When I open the new PDF and use the 'find' tool, Pro is highlighting words on the hidden (original pdf).
    I have tried exporting only the visible layers but is there a setting in InDesign that I can use to export only the visible content to pdf?
    Thanks in advance.

    Even if you mask off part of a PDF, or place a white rectange on top of it, the text will still be selectable. Other than with raster images, InDesign is not smart enough to clip off parts of a PDF (or rather, it's smart enough to leave them as they are). PDFs can contain incredibly complex objects, and any clipping routine would probably make as many mistakes as it solves problems.
    Introduce a small Transparency to this image or one on top of it, then export with Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) settings. Since that old version does not support native transparency, ID is forced to redraw the image, and then it will clip off excess data.

  • Is there a way to automatically set the file name in Acrobat Properties when exporting a PDF from Indesign?

    When I used Quark to make a PDF, the title area in the PDF was automatically populated with the file name, there in the properties tab. We like use this area to confirm file names of original files, so we can keep track of drafts, (in case the file name of the PDF is changed, which our boss often does). Is there any way to set up InDesign to do the same?

    @stadlock – I think I know what you mean…
    You exported to PDF and changed the file name in the export dialog to a different one from the document name presented there the first time you exported that document. And in exports after that the new name will be presented in the dialog instead of the name of the document.
    What you can do against that?
    1. First time you want to export: Save before the document is exported. And do not save after it's exported with a new file name.
    2. After the new file name is already there in the export dialog:
    Type in the document name in the dialog. Export. Or abort after chosing a export preference. Save. Check again, if the document's file name is in the export dialog. If yes, procede like in suggestion #1. If not do a full export with the document's file name, save and then procede with suggestion #1.

  • Too long export to PDF from Indesign CS6

    When I exporting PDF from InDesign CS6 takes too long. For example, a few minutes (5minutes). In InDesign CS3, which I used earlier, the file is exported immediately (few seconds). It is a problem in setting or higher hardware requirements?
    I use laptop 2GB dual processor, 8GB RAM, Windows Vista 32 bit. You have a similar experience?

    It is strange that CS6 supports Windows XP and Windows7 and Vista does not support. I use 8GB RAM because I bought a laptop so. There for me any solution, how to enable CS6 InDesign with the 32 bit system Windows Vista?

  • Special letters do not export to PDF from InDesign CS4

    I have just installed Indesign CS4 and gathered all the fonts I needed from my old computer. Everything has gone well until I tried to export my document to PDF. The PDF showed the Icelandic special "Ð" and "Þ" letters as a missing letter, a white space or a simple box. This only happens in several typefaces, namely Helvetica Neue, Cohin and Times. (and maybe some others). Note that the special letters are shown in InDesign. I reckon that there is some problem whit the export… Can anybody help me?

    You can check the "Advanced" section when you export the PDF to make sure that fonts are being embedded. Both d-with-bar and thorn are part of the glyph complement of Helvetica Neue, so either the font is not being embedded, or something is wrong in ID. You can also go to the "Composition" section of the Preferences and put a check into the "Substituted Glyphs" box to make sure that the d-with-bar and thorn that are appearing in your ID doc are actually part of the font (which they should be).
