Format changing when exporting to Numbers on Mac

I export to itunes for use in Numbers 09 for Mac. The file opens ok, but my legal sized page is reverted to a letter sized page; sometimes other formatting is changed as well.
Please fix.

I haven't tried printing to PDF. I will try that and see what happens. Unfortunetly, where I work we are required to export to PDF rather than print to PDF, so if it works it will only be a clue for me rather than a solution.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try a cross post to the InDesign forms.

  • Format Changes when Exporting to PDF

    I'm using Crystal 12.0 and have an issue very similar to these threads listed below. 
    While viewing a report on my development machine, all is fine.  I can export to PDF and the formatting is OK. 
    However, when the report is exported to PDF on the web server, the spacing between some of the text is off.  The spacing is used for a CrossTab cell in a "Display String" that I changed using "Format Field."   All that's supposed to happen here is several spaces are used to move the text under the proper column. 
    When exporting to PDF on the web, the text moves over to the left like it's missing some of the spaces.  I wondering if the below threads apply to Crystal 12.0.

    Format Changes when Exporting to PDF
    Thanks kindly for your assistance,
    -Marty

    I'm having a very similar problem using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008. Everything is perfect when running in VS 2008, it takes the report and exports it to PDF format via VB code. The PDF file is idenitcal to the report. However, when run on the server the one page report (when exported to PDF) gets chopped into ten 4x4 chunks. So the PDF file is 10 pages....its like puzzle pieces of the original.
    I've drawn a bunch of lines on the report to look like boxes - perhaps this is causing issues? The font on the report is Arial.
    The server has the 10_5 runtime installed and it is set to the same default printer as the development PC. I have been stuck on this for days and would really appreciate any advice you may have.
    Thanks!

  • Format changing when exporting from InDesign to PDF

    I am using Acrobat 8 version 8.1.2, and InDesign version 5.0.2.
    I am noticing a very specific problem when exporting some files to PDF from InDesign.
    We often have a format where we have a numbered list of right-aligned number, followed by some text, a leader line, and then another number at the end of the line. This is set up with a left indent and a first line left indent (rather than using the numbered list options), and then the necessary tabs later in the lines.
    I am finding since we switched to IDCS3, that when I export to PDF, lines containing this format change in the PDF. The text that appears after the number in the front of the line is pushed over on top of the leader line, leaving a huge white space. On rarer occasions, it will move things in lines that have no indents, but contain tabs that aren't being used.
    I have been able to get the files to export correctly by removing the left indent and first-line left indent and using tabs instead (or by removing unused tabs). But we have hundreds of files set up in this manner so going in and changing how they are all set up is problematic to say the least.
    Is this a known issue? Does anyone know why this might happen and how I can prevent it?

  • Formati Changes when Exporting to a Word Document

    I have recently upgrade to RH7 form X5, and no when I export
    to word the formating of numbered lists is not correct.
    I have used syltes in RH to specify numbering, and matched
    those to styles in word which seam to work as much as numbering
    ever does in word. When I export to word text that used the same
    style is formated differently (indents etc) in word. However when I
    manually reapply the style in word it seems to sort out the
    paragraph formatting, although sometimes the numbering is messed
    up.
    It all worked fine in X5

    Is there a difference between charecter sets in apple
    and microsoft that could cause this as I know that
    appleworks doesn't use unicode?
    I believe there is a difference between the ASCII text character sets used by Apple and Microsoft. The English characters are identical but uncommon characters are different. I suspect this difference is what's happening when converting these Tibetan characters.
    If so, an bright
    ideas as to how to get around moving obscure symbols
    between platforms??
    Only to do a Find and Replace for each of the different characters when moving from platform to platform. If this conversion will happen frequently you may be able to automate this process using AW 5 macros or AppleScript on the Mac platform, or Visual Basic on the Windows platform.

    I tried posting in the Acrobat forums and it was suggested since it's an export issue that I might get more help from the InDesign folks.

    Given that the file is being exported to PDF and not going via a driver route, there really is no reason why changing the default printer should make a difference whatsoever in this particular case. Changing default drivers in Microsoft Office applications, yes, but for this situation, no. And since Acrobat doesn't change formatting, the issue sounds like some problem associated with InDesign. Please report this problem directly to Adobe Tech Support and be prepared to send them sample files. Thanks!

  • Crystal Reports Formatting issues when exporting to Word Editable document

    Version: CR XI, I am editing a document exported from CR to Word Editable
    When exporting to a Word Editable (.rtf) document the formatting changes.  For example: lines that were drawn in the report do not come across, there  is a tab in front of each line and a carriage return at the end of each line and spacing and justification formatting are not the same.  Is there a way to export to Word Editable and keep the formatting integrity? This report was developed by a third party but I can edit it if needed.

    Pages 5 is, as an early reviewer put it, "an unmitigated disaster." Not only does it lack some 100 feautres that are present in Pages 09 (4.3), it is also VERY buggy, A quick look through these discussions will reveal a painful litany of data corruption, files that cannot be opened, lost data, and other anomalies. Links do not export reliably to PDFs, and, as you've discovered, export to .docx format is unreliable. Sadly, the best advice is to trash Pages 5.1 and use Pages 4.3 or — yes, it's come to that — Word instead.

  • Width and height changes when exporting

    When I export a vector design from Illustrator to raster (.jpg in this case), I am given the opportunity to select the "Use Artboards" feature. Once clicked, I assume my dimensions will not change. Here are my selected options:
    "Use artboards" option is selected
    Image quality: 10
    Format method: Baseline (Standard)
    Resolution: Depth: Screen
    Custom: 72 DPI (grayed out)
    However, when importing the .jpg file into Photoshop, the "Image Size" information reveals that one (1) pixel is added to the height and width.
    Why does this occur? How can I be sure Illustrator's artboard size will remain the same when exporting?

    Are you using "crooked" sizes? In that case sometimes the dimensions get adjusted to accomodated the compression algorithm, which is course based on blocks of a given size. also make sure to explicitly setup everything with units set to pixels. Rasterization of stuff based on other units can lead to inconsistent results. Also always define your artboards and slices at 100% zoom. You may accidentally create slightly too large stuff where the actual dimensions do not coincide with full pixels at other resolutions.

  • Formatting lost when exported to excel

    When I export a worksheet results to excel the formatting is being lost like in my worksheet I wanted a line and space for every grouped item which is lost in excel sheet. Is there a way get around for this ?
    Thanks

    Not exactly sure what formatting you're having a problem with, but I'll list some of the points I can think of, of exporting to Excel and will hopefully cover it. I believe you may be referring to point 1 below, but just in case ...
    1. If you have group sort on for a column or more, then when exported to Excel, you won't have those 'blank' values for the column(s) that's grouped. That's why when you know someone will be exporting to Excel, it's a pain as all group sorts are usually taken back off (which can screw up exactly what you're trying to point out in the workbook).
    2. If you have a page -> item (ie: lots of values you pull down like a LOV), then I believe, that you won't get an Excel worksheet for each value in the LOV but only for the one currently displayed when you performed the File -> Export.
    3. When you export to Excel, you only get actual values, no functions of how it was calculated (ie: it'll be static, not dynamic).
    4. You can export to Excel using Plus and might not get the formatting characteristics you want in Excel. I've seen users specifically bring up Viewer just to get the formatting characteristics (colors, fonts, etc.) when they export from that Disco version.
    5. Sometimes when you export from Disco to Excel, that actual value that gets posted in Excel is different. I know ... it sounds wierd, but it's a fact. The problem is NOT Disco, but is a problem with Windows and a setting has to be altered (although I'd have to hunt what that setting is now though). However, I've only seen this happen a few times, so definitely not the norm.

  • Format problem when export to RTF

    Hi,
    Iam creating a RTF template, when export to pdf everything working fine. However, when i export to RTF(word) alot of document properties got lost such as :
    font size default to 12 when it's blank line; page number are not re-start for multi sections; table properties not holding, header, footer and edge margin are not holding, etc...... Is there any way to fix these. I tried to create a word macro to fix some of the format problems, but the macro have to run manually instead of initialized form a text field option on exit. Any idea on how to fix or work around would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tam

    Do you know if and when Pages will provide support for tables in rtf format? (My school requires that I send all assignments rtf format.)
    As Yvan points out, no one here can write what they know about it, and the vast majority of us know nothing about it.
    You cannot take any decision based on the assumption that Pages will one day support tables in RTFs, because it may never happen. If you need both RTF and tables, the only option is another tool (like NeoOffice, TextEdit, MS Office and so on).

  • Opacity level changing when exporting text with alpha

    Hello,
    I am hoping someone can shed some light on what is happening with my opacity levels when exporting text with an alpha.  I have animated text where some words are black at 50% opacity and some words are white at full opacity.  They are on a textured background.  I need to give the other editors a version of the text married to the background and one that is just text with an alpha.  When I export it and bring it into Premiere, the "married" version looks fine, but the black in the version of the text with alpha appears more transparent.  I can fix this by changing the blend mode to Hard Light or Luminosity, but this alters the color of the white text slightly (and I should note that the blend mode in AE was normal).  I can of course work around this by exporting my black and white text separately, but I was hoping someone might know why this is happening.
    I am working on AE CC (ver12) and Premiere CC (ver7)
    Thank you!

    Rick, I am judging visually.
    I have since taken the cue from Mylenium, and I think the problem has to do with the fact that AE's default opacity is not linear and Premiere's is.  When I change the sequence settings of Premiere and uncheck "Composite in Linear Color" the blacks of my clips match.  Similarly when I change my Project Settings in AE and check "Linearize Working Space" the blacks appear lighter as they did when with the text only clip in Premiere.  Since I am working with other editors that are using Premiere, I assume I should change the settings in After Effects to match Premiere (linear).  Unless there is any reason I shouldn't do that?
    Thank you,

  • Missing page header when exporting a Numbers sheet to PDF??

    I am running OS X 10.8.5 and Numbers 09 Version 2.3, all on a 2009 MBP.
    I created a simple table and have a page header (title, etc).
    When I print this file directly from Numbers to the printer, everything is okay.
    But when I export the file to PDF and print the PDF, the header is gone.
    Any thoughts?

    I have done some addtional problem solving. I now have the issue isolated to the export function. It does not export the page header when exporting to PDF. It does do it when exporting to file type - post script.
    Interesting.
    Anybody got something to add here?

  • Formatting Columns when exported to HTML

    Is there a way to specify the WIDTH of a column when exporting
    to an HTML file?
    Inside of Discoverer 3.1 or when printed on paper the columns
    are fine, however when exported they are 'resized' to the width
    of the column heading(or longest value in column).
    Thanks in advance

    Scott,
    You will need to look through your xml files with Discoverer.
    Support has a document on how you can alter and change the look
    and feel of the html. If they are unable to locate tell them to
    talk with development.

    Yeah.. crystal has giving  some issues while exporting reports without SPs, especialy previous versions.

  • Illustrator and InDesign creating unknown files when exporting and saving. MAC CS5

    Hi,
    I assist a small business with IT and recently (a month or so) strange files have begun appearing in two different circumstances. As a little bit of background, our usual designer recently went on holiday to Japan so we had a temp working with us, it is possible she as fiddled with some settings.
    1. When Exporting to PDF using InDesign, a folder is created named $esnp that contains a collection of files roughly 8mb in size.

  • Complex charecter changes when exporting to MS word

    I hope someone can help here because I've been mulling over this for a while.
    I've been working with some files that were typed using AW 5 and I've managed to open them on AW 6 in os 9 with no problem. the key issue is that I'm using a font called lTibetan. this font creates tibetan script from roman numerals by using complex combinations of of unusual symbols. here's an example.
    -a$-’ Ë*!’ [*-’ v-’ [[-
    When I export the files to MS word (or even appleworks running under 10.4) using either RTF intermediate, MacLink, html or copied from a PDF, slight changes to the charecters creep in.
    when I compare the two formats in a roman font, certain charecters don't translate over, such as the † symbol.
    Is there a difference between charecter sets in apple and microsoft that could cause this as I know that appleworks doesn't use unicode? If so, an bright ideas as to how to get around moving obscure symbols between platforms??
    many thanks
