Exporting to PDF within InDesignCS4 makes extraneous copies

I think this is since updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 --I frequently export InDesign CS4 documents as PDF files within InDesign. It may only be affecting one particular folder, in fact. I have a folder that I keep about 50-60 PDF files exported from InDesign (all similar documents). Now, all of a sudden, when I export another document as PDF to that folder, I get copies of everything in that folder strewn all over my Desktop. I then have to collect them and trash the Desktop copies. I don't know if this is a Snow Leopard problem of an InDesign problem, but it just started happening a couple of days ago. I just did an experiment and exported one of the same documents to the Desktop rather than the crazy folder and I got just one copy. But if I send it to the same foklder I have been using for a couple of years, I get copies of the whole folder on my Desktop? This is very perplexing to me. The PDF settings in InDesign are for small sized PDFs and compatible with Acrobat 7. I share these documents with others so try to make it compatible with an older Acrobat version just in case.

Here is snippet of code how I am exporting rpt file to pdf file. I didn't include every code here but I am hoping this will give you the idea. Please let me know if you need more info.
public byte[] runReport(RPTParameters para) throws SQLException {
byte[] reportData = null;
ReportClientDocument reportClientDocument = null;
try {               
     reportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
     reportClientDocument.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
     reportClientDocument.open(ReportDataConstants.CPS_RPT_FILE, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
     ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();               
     PDFExportFormatOptions pdfOptions = new PDFExportFormatOptions();
     exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
     exportOptions.setFormatOptions(pdfOptions);
     ParameterFieldController paramFieldController = reportClientDocument.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();               
     paramFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "@ba", para.getBusinessAgreement());
     paramFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "ReportMonth", para.getMonth());

  • Export to PDF question

    When using InDesign's Export to PDF feature to make a PDF of a book, InDesign is converting the front matter page  numbers from roman numerals (i, ii, iii) to regular numbers (1, 2, 3) in the slug line (page info) of the resulting PDF.
    How can I export to PDF and have the roman numerals appear as roman numerals in the slug line/page info of the PDF?
    If I do a file-> Print, then print to post script, then distill to make the PDF, the roman numerals appear correctly as roman numerals in the slug line/page info in the PDF.
    I need this to happen when using the export to PDF feature.

    Dear Experts,
    We are also facing the same issue. Is it an InDesign bug? Can it be overcome? Kindly suggest.
    This is a very necessary information wanted by most of the users.
    regards

  • How can I make my images look good when exporting to PDF document?

    Hello! I'm struggling here with a PDF Brochure that I need to create (intended for web only, not print).
    There are two images that look horrible and pixelated when I create my PDF file. I have tried everything, making the images bigger and smaller, using 72 dpi images and 300 dpi ones. Everything results the same way... It looks perfect in my InDesign file, but in the PDF it looks all damaged. Here are two screen shots, one of how it looks in the PDF and one of how it looks in InDesign.
    Could you please tell me what I need to do to guarantee that the image looks good quality in the PDF? (My document is 40cmx20cm, I don't not if using cm is affecting the document).
    To export to PDF I'm using the option: Adobe PDF pressets --> Smallest file size.
    If you can help me I would really appreciate it!
    Thank you,
    Nataly.

    Murray is right. Padding (and margins) is added to the width. However, when using percentages, you should never use figures that add up to exactly 100%.
    Browsers need to convert the percentages to pixels. Because pixels must be whole numbers, some percentages are rounded up, which results in the final element dropping down below its neighbours. With percentages, it's much safer to use values that add up to 98% (99% often works, but 98% is safer).

  • HELP: I need to link a PDF within PDF and be able to open and return to original PDF

    I have a master PDF and have attached 7 supplemental PDF documents. I created "click here" icons and used the steps below so that the linked document would open. The problem is, once I open the supplemental PDF, it closes the original master. I would like to close the linked document and return to the master view. Is there a way to do this?
    Or is there a way to do this from InDesign? I created master file in InDesign and exported as an Interactive PDF.  I created the buttons and linked them to external files. This works great as long as the master PDF and the links are all in one file, but that is a pain to send to a viewer. Ideally, I want to be able to send the master PDF to a viewer and not have to send a links folder. Is there a way to embed the supplemental PDFs into the master so that they are all combined into one file AND have the ability to use buttons to call up one of the attachments, close, and return to the original?
    Thanks in advance!!

    I want to do the same thing that the original poster of this question wants to do. I haven't worked extensively with Acrobat so am finding by trial and error the several ways PDFs within PDFs can be accomplished. I'm using a trial version of Acrobat Pro X and have experimented with three options.
    1 - I've created a Portfolio and am impressed with what that can do, though I think it may be "overkill" for the current size of my project.
    2 - I've also tried creating this project as an index but discovered that the links I'd created in the original docs didn't work when I moved the index and its contents (keeping the file structure the same). I presume this means the links are absolute? I also don't understand how it is that users search a .pdx file, or how to present what I want to be the original opening PDF of indexed docs.
    3 - I've also thought to create one PDF with attached PDFs, so I'd like to have you expand on your comment about creating a master document and attaching documents to it.
    The specifics of my project are these: I have created a master directory that contains approximately 120 links. Most of the links are repeated three times (users can find in the directory the item they need in three different ways: alphabetically, by application, or by module; hence each item listed once in each of three categories). I want to make that directory the "master" PDF that users open first, and then locate within that PDF the 5-8 PDF documents that contain all of the places to which the directory links. I want the "master" directory to be self-contained and completely "portable" as far as all of the documents and links are concerned so that when I make the PDF available from our website users can open the master from there or copy it and have all of the docs they need with all of the links intact. I think I prefer that all docs open in new windows, since returning to the original doesn't seem very user friendly in Acrobat (I like the tabs feature in FoxIt when multiple PDFs are open...).
    I'd like an opinion about the best way to accomplish what I need to do, and am also wondering whether there are other options I am unaware of. BTW, the reason we've decided to document this whole project in PDFs rather than HTML is because this project contains a big number of tables, which do not look consistent across various browsers (i.e., most of our tables look fine in IE and Firefox, but awful in Google Chrome...). In researching my issue on the Acrobat Windows forum I see that rendering tables in Acrobat is also an issue that seems to be unresolved.
    Thank you!

  • Export to PDF doesn't retain page settings

    Create a report with lots of columns and then change the page settings to be landscape and shrink to fit. Now run the report and print the report as a PDF. It works as expected.
    Now export this same report as a PDF. The export will not retain the page settings. Instead, it will export the PDF in portrait and it will not shrink to fit.
    If you email the report to someone, it also doesn't retain the page settings.
    I opened a TAR on this issue and I was told this was not a current feature of Discoverer. Exporting does not retain page settings by design and it would be an enhancement request to get this new functionality.
    We build a lot of custom Oracle Reports right now so that users can drill from one level to another. With OracleBI Discoverer, I can now do this with linking to sheets. With Oracle Reports, I can render the report in PDF format which is a business requirement. With OracleBI Discoverer, I can do this too except I can't export the PDF because it doesn't fit on the page correctly.
    Anyone else need this functionality?
    On another "enhancement request" note, I would like to be able to schedule exports. OracleBI Discoverer is getting close to providing an alternative to Oracle Reports which is great because it is faster to build and deploy reports and it is licensed by the CPU so I don't have to worry about buying Report Builder licenses. Lastly, business users can build their own reports rather than someone in IT doing it.

    ok, here's what I have found out (thanks to our Viewer guru, Matthew):
    The print/PDF preferences are currently not saved, so you are right when you say you have to re-apply those settings.
    However, there is a way to persist these changes within a session (note that since these changes are session-resident only, you will lose them once you exit Viewer).
    The short one line explanation of the workaround is to make the changes using the 'Printable Page' link, generate a 'Preview' or the entire PDF report, and then use the worksheet breadcrumb link to return to the worksheet. This ensures that the PDF changes you made are available during the sesion to the worksheet. You can always undo these settings by clicking the 'Revert to saved' link.
    I have posted the same information, but with screenshots, to http://oraclebi.blogspot.com/2005/12/pdf-settings-in-viewer.html

  • Can I ask InDesign to resample as it exports to PDF?

    When I export an InDesign CS document to PDF I'd like to know what InDesign does to the images that it exports. InDesign Help, in this case, was no help.
    I'll give a preamble so you know what I'm on about. Originally when I first started this project 2 years ago, I thought I would layout the images within InDesign, and just before printing I would go through every one of the 800 or so images in the book (it's a big book), and crop and resample them to 300 dpi at exactly the final printed size. Big job.
    After a few months of using InDesign I thought: no, I won't do that. When I export to PDF I'll assume InDesign will give me options to 'crop to frame size' and set the ppi to 300 dpi as well as converting images to grayscale if I so choose. It'll be automatic.
    I'll make it clear with an example. Let's assume an original image was scanned to give an image that is 4000 pixels wide and 2000 high, and that the final image is 20" x 10". It is to be printed on a Xerox iGen which requires 300 dpi for no loss of quality. So how does InDesign get that particular image into the PDF?
    Q1: Does it resample and export at 300 dpi? i.e. in the example above, will it export an image of 6000 x 3000 pixels to the PDF?
    Q2. Or does it export the original image and does nothing to the image except cropping if I ask it to? If it needs resampling that will be done at print stage by the iGen.
    Q3: I didn't see any options for converting to grayscale. Can you export a PDF as grayscale?
    Why I am concerned about this is because if the original image is exported, that may cause me file-size problems. I scanned most of my images at 20MB-60MB, yet a lot of them when printed will be of the order of 20 square inches and only require about 6 MB for adequate printing. I may end up with a PDF file that is 5 to 10 times larger than necessary.
    The real problem I have is: I trust PS and InDesign to resample my images, but I don't have that kind of faith in the iGen. If I can't ask InDesign to resample images when it exports, I may have a problem.
    When I did my original series of test prints in July 2006 on the iGen, I cropped and resampled the images ready for printing before I imported them into InDesign. So I haven't tested the iGen's resampling capabilities. I be blunt I don't trust it. The iGen ( a machine costing in the millions) failed a simple test of converting colour documents to grayscale. Here are my notes written at the time:
    b Converting to Grayscale using the iGen
    Do not use the iGen RIP to convert colour images to grayscale because it converts all gray densities above 90% to 100%. ie dark shadows end up as 100% solid black shadows with the accompanying sheen. I measured this figure from the K-only gradient at the bottom of the page. It appeared solid black for the first 9mm of a 96 mm black-to-white gradient. All densities between 100% and 91% ended up as 100%. The effect is very obvious in Mums hair which became a solid mass.
    My full notes on the iGen are here: http://jucreek.googlepages.com/temporary if anyone wants to have a look.
    Anyway, that's why I have concerns about images. Maybe I should just knuckle down for a week and go through 800 images, cropping and resampling every one in Photoshop. Talk me out of it, please.
    And that brings me to my final question:
    Q4: Can I ask InDesign to do that job for me: to crop, to resample at a certain dpi, and to overwrite the original image so that it all matches up?

    Guy,
    Let me try to recap all your statments with my comments:
    > Let's assume an original image was scanned to give an image that is 4000 pixels wide and 2000 high, and that the final image is 20" x 10". It is to be printed on a Xerox iGen which requires 300 dpi for no loss of quality.
    From the very start you're in trouble.
    The image size you describe, set at 300 dpi, will only be 13 1/3" by 6 2/3". If the image is scaled up to be 20" by 10", it will only be 200
    >dpi.
    So, we're starting with insufficient data according to your requirements.
    Nothing that InDesign or Acrobat does can make that image the correct resolution.
    > Q1: Does it resample and export at 300 dpi? i.e. in the example above, will it export an image of 6000 x 3000 pixels to the PDF?
    No, InDesign and Acrobat's print device will only resample
    b down.
    Neither will resample up.
    > Q2. Or does it export the original image and does nothing to the image except cropping if I ask it to?
    The image created in the PDF will be cropped. It doesn't touch the original file.
    > If it needs resampling that will be done at print stage by the iGen.
    I believe the iGen will only resample
    b down
    the same as InDesign and Acrobat's creation of the PDF.
    > Q3: I didn't see any options for converting to grayscale. Can you export a PDF as grayscale?
    As mentioned, that won't happen in the PDF Export but will happen with the PDF Print driver. However, that will also convert colors in the ID file, not just images, to grayscale.
    > Why I am concerned about this is because if the original image is exported, that may cause me file-size problems. I scanned most of my images at 20MB-60MB, yet a lot of them when printed will be of the order of 20 square inches and only require about 6 MB for adequate printing. I may end up with a PDF file that is 5 to 10 times larger than necessary.
    Perhaps I did my math incorrectly, but in your original example, 4000 x 2000 pixels cannot be set at 20 inches by 10 inches at 300 dpi.
    It requires 6000 by 3000 inches to be 300 dpi at 20 inches by 10 inches.
    > The real problem I have is: I trust PS and InDesign to resample my images, but I don't have that kind of faith in the iGen.
    I don't think you need to worry about the iGen if you set your images correctly. But as I said above, you haven't sampled them enough. So the iGen isn't going to do anything.
    > If I can't ask InDesign to resample images when it exports, I may have a problem.
    You set ID and Acrobat to
    b downsample
    not
    b upsample.
    > When I did my original series of test prints in July 2006 on the iGen, I cropped and resampled the images ready for printing before I imported them into InDesign.
    Cropping and resampling in Photoshop is always preferred as you have the options for how the resampling occurs that neither ID nor Acrobat have.
    > So I haven't tested the iGen's resampling capabilities. I be blunt I don't trust it. The iGen ( a machine costing in the millions) failed a simple test of converting colour documents to grayscale.
    No, I wouldn't have expected the iGen to convert to grayscale at all! Converting to grayscale can be done in the Acrobat print driver, but I would prefer to do it in Photoshop if I demanded very refined conversions.
    > My full notes on the iGen are here: http://jucreek.googlepages.com/temporary if anyone wants to have a look.
    See my comments above.
    > Anyway, that's why I have concerns about images. Maybe I should just knuckle down for a week and go through 800 images, cropping and resampling every one in Photoshop. Talk me out of it, please.
    You can resample using Photoshop's batch processing, but depending on the type of cropping that might need to be done manually in Photoshop. But if the cropping is always of a certain size and position that could be done in batch processing.
    > Q4: Can I ask InDesign to do that job for me: to crop, to resample at a certain dpi, and to overwrite the original image so that it all matches up?
    No, InDesign doesn't overwrite your original image, but it will change the image in the final PDF.

  • Errors in Export to PDF for web use - some images are lost when PDF is enlarged & in browser

    I have a multi-page PDF in InDesign CS6 that I want to export to view on the web. I need the file to stay under 2MB, and I need it to be crisp and nice enough to read the type on the page (as small as 9pt type).
    The errors that are occurring are the following:
    On some browsers, some images will entirely not show up. Some of the missing images have been pasted into the document, some placed. I cannot think of a correlation.
    When the PDF is enlarged (Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.10) to more than ~200%, there is one placed image that will mostly disappear. What I mean by "mostly" is that little bits of it are still visible, like I masked it carelessly or something. Since this is only occurring with one image it seems that it would be a problem with the image itself, yes? I'm all ears if I'm making a mistake. It is a placed .ai file with no link errors. Should I not be placing directly from illustrator? It renders wonderfully from 100% all the way up to 188%, and then if you enlarge by margins of 1% little bits of it disappear, almost a chunk at a time.
    The way I've been exporting is:
    File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print)
    Adobe PDF Preset: Smallest File Size
    Standard: None
    Compatinility: Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5)
    Options: Optimize for Fast Web View
    Export Layers: Visible & Printable Layers
    Compression
    I always change the downsampling from [100/150] to [150/225]. I usually leave the JPG image quality low. I leave both bottom boxes checked (compress text and line art, crop image data to frames)
    Output
    Color Conversion: convert to destination
    Destination: sRGB 1EC61966-2.1
    Profile Inclusion Policy: Include Destination Profile
    However, after reading a few other forum questions I started trying to export as Acrobat 4 so that it would flatten. When I do that, problem #2 still persists although I didn't test problem #1. I haven't tried using Distiller, and using the "prepare for web publishing" action within Acrobat itself makes the PDF too artifacted.
    At the heart of my question is this: I am a young designer at an old company that is not necessarily keeping up with the times. I REALLY want to know what the best, most efficient way to export a pdf for web viewing is. Does this exist in InDesign, outside of InDesign? Does it exist at all? Tell me what I'm doing wrong so that I can get better!
    Thank you in advance.

  • 100k black exporting to PDF as rich black

    Hey guys,
    I've rattled my brain for long enough over this issue, it's time to ask the wider community.
    When I export a pdf with any of my export profiles, all overprint 100k (black swatch) blacks are exported as CMYK. It doesn't matter if it's text or a graphic, the whole document is CMYK.
    My export profiles have been bulletproof for the past 2 years, I use numerous printers so I always export using a very generic profile. Within the last two days, something has happened with my settings and eveything I export has this issue. I've poured over my settings and none of it has led me to an answer.
    My only solution is converting to my generic profile with numbers preserved.
    This makes the problem go away but it doesn't answer the question of why it has changed after all this time.
    Help.
    Screenshot of doc open in InDesign with text selected with black swatch selected:
    Screenshot of doc in Acrobat pro seps with black unchecked:

    Actually, a better question might be how you avoided the rich black using what you believe are the exact same settings over the past two years!!
    Simply stated, if you do a PDF export and the CMYK content in your document is in a different CMYK color space than that specified for your output and your export setting call for converting colors to the output color space without the preserve CMYK values specified, there will definitely be a CMYK to C'M'Y'K' conversion occurring. This has been true since at least the first CS version of InDesign (InDesign 3).
    The problem with CMYK to C'M'Y'K conversions is that they are a 4-3-4 conversion. The CMYK values are not directly converted to C'M'Y'K' but rather, converted first to the color management connection color space by use of the input profile and then from that color space back to the CMYK color space specified in your export settings. Such 4-3-4 conversions do not preserve pure colorant values. Thus you have the possibility of ending up with rich black if your content's color space and the output color space differ. The preserve numbers option was put in to effectively ignore CMYK to C'M'Y'K' conversion entirely and only deal with the conversion of RGB color spaces to the output color space. (Another technology, known a “device link profiles” can be used for CMYK to C'M'Y'K color conversions, preserving pure colorants, especially black. Unfortunately, InDesign doesn't support device link technologies!)
    Then we must come back to why things supposed worked the last two years without specifying the “preserve values” option?!?!? One possibility is that previously your default CMYK color space exactly matched the output color space, thus bypassing any color conversion at all!

  • Image is not exporting to PDF correctly

    When I export my document, everything exports fine except one image.  It has been doing this with multiple images, as I've changed the image a couple of times to make sure that the image wasn't corrupted.  Why would it be doing this?
    How document should look:
    What happens when I export to PDF:

    Okay, I figured out what was making it be strange.  It seems that if I don't change the transparency or add any effects, it'll show up perfectly fine in the export; otherwise, if I do anything to it within effects, it won't show up on any document.  It seems to just be the nature of the picture; I wonder if it has to do with it being transparent?  Either way, I fixed the problem and am just going to use the picture without effects, as it looks better that way anyway.  Thank you though!

    Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks
    You can export any Pages word processing document to the ePub file format for reading in an ePub reader, such as the iBooks application on the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Documents created in page layout templates can’t be exported to the ePub format.
    Documents exported to ePub format will look different than their Pages counterparts. If you want to get the best document fidelity between the Pages and ePub formats, style your Pages document with paragraph styles and other formatting attributes allowed in an ePub file. A sample document is provided on the Apple Support site that features styles and guidelines to help you create a Pages document that’s optimized for export to the ePub file format, which you can use as a template or a guide. To learn more about using paragraph styles in Pages, see the topics under the heading “Working with Styles” in the Pages built-in help.
    To read your ePub document in iBooks on your mobile device, you must transfer the ePub file that you create onto your device.
    To use the “ePub Best Practices” sample documentTo learn more about using the ePub format and get a better feel for how a Pages document might appear as a book in iBooks, it’s a good idea to download the “ePub Best Practices” sample document. After reading the guidelines and instructions within the document, you can use it as a template to create your own document. You can also import the styles from the sample document into a new document you create.
    Download the “ePub Best Practices” sample document at the following web address:

    Do either of the following:Use the sample document as a template.Import the paragraph styles from the sample document into a new or existing Pages document.
    Export the document you create to ePub format to see how it looks in iBooks.
    Preparing an existing Pages document for export to ePub format
    Documents exported to the ePub format automatically appear with page breaks before every chapter. A table of contents is automatically generated, which allows readers to jump quickly to any chapter title, heading, or subheading in the book. In order to create a meaningful table of contents, it’s important to apply appropriate styles within your document. The ePub reader uses the paragraph styles to determine which items should appear in the table of contents for your book.
    Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template.

  • How i can insert videos, export to pdf and then watch the video? i can't

    How i can insert videos, export to pdf and then watch the video? i can't. It is suposse that i have to configurate the option save but i don't know how... any help?

    Fron the Pages Help menu:
    Using Sound and Movies
    You can add audio—a music file, a playlist from your iTunes library, or any other sound file—to a Pages document. You can add video that plays within a page.
    Pages accepts any QuickTime or iTunes file type, including the following:
    MOV
    MP3
    MPEG-4
    AIFF
    AAC
    Also note that some media files are protected under copyright law. Some downloaded music may be played only on the computer where the download occurred. Make sure the computer you are using has permission to play all the media files included in your document.
    When you add media files to your document, make sure that they will be available if you transfer your document to another computer. When saving your document, make sure the option “Copy audio and movies into document” is selected in the Save window. (If you don’t see the option, click the button next to the Save field to display the entire Save window, and then click the Advanced Options disclosure triangle.)

  • Images downsized and converted when exporting to PDF

    I have Pagemaker 7.0.1 installed on Virtual XP so that I can help out a family member.
    Pagemaker's embedded Acrobat 4 was not working properly so I installed my Acrobat 9.0 on Virtual XP. This unfortunately has not solved the problem, which is:
    My images are greyscale and 300 ppi when imported into Pagemaker. When exported to PDF using Acrobat 9.0, the images are being converted to CMYK and exported at about 50% of the actual size. Interestingly, those images that are only at 200 ppi are converted but not downsampled.
    This is happening no matter how I fiddle with the settings. Happens to both jpegs and tiffs.
    I found an old thread on another forum where this problem occurred but a solution was not found or posted.
    Any ideas?
    Michelle

    This reply is a series of comments and suggestions rather than a definitive answer.
    1. Your set up is less than perfect, if not unstable, and will be prone to all sorts of bizarre behaviours.
    2. Never copy/paste a graphic or table into PageMaker.  Always use the Place command. The only "exception" would be that you can copy and paste a properly Placed graphic from within your PageMaker document.
    When placing images in a PageMaker file, the following message appears: “The graphic in the linked file would occupy xxxxxxx bytes in the publication. Include the complete copy in the publication anyway?” The correct answer to this question is always "NO".
    (You can permanently avoid this popup in future docs by unchecking "store copy in publication" under Element -> Link Options with no publication open. You can do the same to avoid further prompts in pre-existing documents.)
    3. Try updating PM to Ver 7.0.1a which had a better Export… AdobePDF…macro. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=34&platform=Windows 
    4. In PageMaker’s Print dialogue, click on the Options button, and check "Write PostScript to File." Select the "Normal" radio button. Set both Type 1 and TrueType fonts to download. As always, set the Send TIF/Images option to Normal and NOT Optimized. Make other settings elsewhere in the print dialog as desired, such as "paper" size, crop marks, separations, etc.
    5. With your non-standard setup, try the two stage print then distill process. Create a PS file using a postscript printer file, then load Distiller and convert the PS file to PDF.  Note: if you have hyperlinks in your PMD file, they will not appear in your PDF and need to be re-created using Acrobat.
    6. It's time to leave PM and move on to InDesign - see it as PM Ver 13. 
    7. Aternatively, use PM7 on a contemporary Win2K PC.  http://bigjohnd.org.uk/PageMakerExportPDF/index.htm

  • Color separation when exporting a PDF

    It's been driving me nuts, ADOBE seems to have forgotten about color separation when using the export to PDF method.  Even quark has this option.
    Anyway I was hoping to know if there is a way that I don't know.
    Cheers

    You’re asking for fairly archaic things here.
    You can put in a feature request but you’d need to explain how this would benefit the entire user base and IMO you’re going to have a rough time doing so.
    Bob, it might be archaic, but it's still used a lot in the publishing world. 
    in the book world, the new trend is for firms to do books in a co-edition format. The idea is to have one firm do all the work (normally in english). But then other firms from other countries and other languages will simply send a PDF of the text ONLY without the colors (cmyk).  So when I export the PDF I only need ONE color. I do not wish to export the whole CMYK.
    Do you understand where I am getting from.
    So in simplified terms.  The printer has 4 plates for the colours of the book and will simply change a 5th plate to the desired language.
    5000 copies
    CMYK plates
    5th plate: german text
    10 000 copies
    French
    exactly the same CMYK plates as german
    5th plate: switch to the french plate
    50 000 copies
    English
    exactly the same CMYK plates as german
    5th plate: switch to the english plate
    and so on....
    The cost is greatly reduced for everyone, but we need an option to export the TEXT only.
    You will simply say, but have the text in a separate layer. That is true, but in reality, it's not all the files that are built like that and most graphic designers will have the text on a separate spot color instead of a separate layer.  Unfortunately when I receive the file it's too late to do the changes.
    I hope I make sense, english is not my first language.
