Failed to export to pdf - need help in understanding adobe advice

my indesign document failed to export to pdf, therefore I looked up the indesign help - see below; I could not find where to proceed after point 2 / would anyone help?
thank you
Solution 2: Downsample the images after export using  Acrobat.
Choose File > Export and select  PDF as your format, choose a location and click Save.
In the Export PDF dialog box, disable the image downsampling  options.
Open the resulting PDF in Acrobat.
Choose Advanced > PDF Optimizer.
Set the downsampling options you desire in the Image Settings pane.
Disable any other options that are not needed.
Click OK and choose the name and location to save the file.

I'm going to assume you actually are unable to accomplish/understand step 2 as opposed to not knowing how to open the resulting pdf.
See screen shot - use the pull down menus under compression for Color Images, Grayscale Images and Monochrome Images - Select Do Not Downsample. Although, I think the Help file has you chasing your tail.

  • Exporting to pdf - need help please

    I work with Multi Ad Creator (at a newspaper) and prior to sending the file to the publisher we need to convert it to pdf ( we click on the file and so to file, export, pdf).  There has never been an issue doing this but there is now!  When the file gets converted there is a two lined-four sided graphic on the top of my file that I cannot seem to get rid of - what have I done to the program and what can I do to fix this??  The paper ended up being printed with these graphics on them which is not good!

    Here is a jpeg of the pdf file that was converted.
    And here is a jpeg of the crtr file converted.  When I convert the crtr to pdf I get that darn graphic and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why it comes up - it comes up on any crtr file converted to pdf, but this never used to happen grrr

  • "Content generation error. Failed to Export the PDF file"

    Building a multi-folio in InDesign 6 Folio Builder V30. Received "Content generation error. Failed to Export the PDF file" on several of the spreads. I have tried reducing the original pdf files sizes, but that did not help.
    Any suggestions on other possible causes or way to fix.?

    I'm very new to DPS so I hope the following description makes some kind of sense.
    My magazine is in the process of doing trial runs for an iPad edition. I'm setting some templates up for us to work off so the process from magazine to iPad will run a lot smoother month to month.
    So far I've set up some dummy stock pages in an InDesign CS6 document, currently 15 pages long.
    All images are linked and all fonts have paragraph styles applied to them.
    I'm at the stage I want to check the document on my iPad to test run font sizes and their legibility.
    We have successfully been able to export the document as a jpg file but we really need the PDF format. When attempting this we get the above message.

    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.

  • Keep getting conversion failed on exporting files PDF.

    keep getting conversion failed on exporting files PDF.

    Hi jfcobb999,
    I'm sorry that you're having trouble converting files. Are you converting via the web interface, or through Adobe Reader? Do you have a large number of files in the root folder of your Files list on Acrobat.com?
    Let's try these things for starters:
    Clear the browser cache and try again.
    Use a different browser.
    Make sure that Reader is up-to-date by choosing Help > Check for Updates.
    If you have a large number of files stored on Acrobat.com, move some of them into a subfolder.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Fail to Export to PDF

    Running BOXI release 1 here, and I am trying to export to a PDF and get the Fail to Export error message. I believe the problem is in my use of a sub-report. The main body, w/o the subreport will export just fine, so I know that the issue is not a font issue. It will export correctly if I export it as a work document. Errors are Failed to export the report. Not supported. And sometime file not found.
    Any thoughts?
    -Dennis-

    Hi Dennis
    As per the description, the report fails to export to PDF after adding the subreport to the main report.
    Please let us know the following information:
    1) Exact version of Crystal Reports Designer.
    2) In which section of the main report have you inserted the subreport?
    3) What happens if you export the subreport to PDF format?
    4) Create a new section in the main report, insert the subreport and then try to export the report to PDF format.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • InDesign CS5.5 Fails to export to PDF

    I can't get InDesign (Mac running OS X Lion 10.7.4 ) to export to PDF. It gives me "Failed to Export to PDF" with every document I've tried. I've created new documents to test, and still gives error. I've installed the newest patch (Adobe InDesign CS5.5 7.5.3 update for Macintosh - All Languages) but still am having the same problems.
    Any ideas? I've searched the internet and can't find any solutions that offer any hope. Thoughts?

    The last time we saw this, it turned out to be a font problem, but it could be a lot of things. Take a look at this other thread about failure in CS5.5:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4575362#4575362
    Also, check to see if it works in a new user account, or if it works in the foreground (add the file to a Book, then export from the Book).

    Yes. You can.
    I've learned something. New. This must be recently changed. That last time I clicked on a Link I though was a dmg file and turned out it was and exe file my Macs wouldn't allow me to do so. But haven't tried recently everytime and exe file comes up I cancel. I gues I am used to the time everytime a Virus or some other nasty was downloaded it was packaged in and exe file and Macs owuldn't allow it. I suppose with the INtel guts now they can no longer refuse to download.

  • I need help in understanding the customization of Landscape in R/3.

    I need help in understanding the customization of Landscape in R/3. Setup of SAP Landscape from an SAP SD point of view. Being as SAP SD consultant what would be my role in customizing the Landscape server. Help needed. Thx

    Hi,
    In a standard SAP project implementation, the 3 standard transport procedures are:
    Development System (DEV) --> QA System (QAS) --> Production System (PRD)
    In the above structure, the Training Client (TRN) could be made from the copy of PRD (after when real-time master data has been available) or from QA system (where configuration has been tested in DEV client, and the master data is uploaded manually for training purposes)
    Sandbox (standalone): This can be refreshed with Golden Client to reflect the latest configuration performed to facilitate the development/testing purposes.
    -Development (DEV): Where all system configurations and development activities are carried out.
    -Quality Assurance (QAS): Where functional testing is carried out. The System Integration Testing (carried out by the -Development Team) and the User Acceptance Testing (carried out by XXX appointed personnel) is carried out in this server.
    -Training (TRN): End Users are trained on this server.
    -Production (PRD): After the System is commissioned all data entry and administrative functions will be carried out in this server.
    This is by far the standard landscape architecture that is adopted and practiced in most implementations.
    Hope the above helps.
    Thanks.

    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. The Adobe Staff and PRE_help presence in this forum is undefined.
    The replies from here are not instantaneous. But, your fellow users all try to respond as timely as possible.
    What is your computer operating system?
    From where are you downloading Premiere Elements 13....direct from Adobe as the tryout or the purchased product? If the purchased product, do you now have a purchased serial number to go with the installation files?
    Where are you stopped in the installation....at the Sign In or before? Is the faulting module cited in any messages? What are the error messages?
    The usual questions:
    1. Are you working with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you running the computer programs as administrator?
    3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of mouse?
    4. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    5. Are you installing the program to the default location on the Local Disc C (if Windows).
    Let us start here and then decide what next based on the details that you post. Subsequent troubleshooting may include:
    deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and/or uninstall, free ccleaner run through, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.
