HOW TO MAKE PDF from InDesign CS3, LEOPARD 10.5.1

Sorry if this is discussed...I am using CS3 and Leopard 10.5.1 on an Intel Mac Pro.
Is there no way to save a PDF of my InDesign invoice (so I can Email it to my client and get paid)?

Hi, dal,
what Aandi suggests is to rearrange the pages in InDesign before exporting them. But you can also change the pages order with Acrobat (Professional, not the Reader). Just duplicate your exported pdf in the Finder. Then in Acrobat under the Document-Menu you can add, delete and export and replace pages until you have the required pages order.

How to Create PDF from Illustrator CS3 by using applescript?

Hi Guys,
Do some one knows how to create PDF from Illustrator CS3 by using apple script. If know, please give me the scripting.

Have you tried File>Scripts>SaveDocsAsPDF? There should be a folder of sample scripts installed in your AICS3 folder and a folder of documentation which contains an Illustrator AppleScript Reference which has examples.

Accessible PDFs from InDesign CS3 and Acrobat Pro 8

Is there a good website or book that explains how to create an "accessible" PDF with text and images (no intaractivity or special fields to enter information)? Maybe a book for non-programmers.
I find a lot of general information and it always states that it's the best to do the tagging from the beginning in InDesign but what else does it ivolve? In what order should I do what?
Thanks.

I'm doing one of the exercises provided by Adobe and have a question (InDesign CS3). I just learned that you can assign the "Artifact" tag to a graphic frame in two ways: Either via "New Attribute" in the Structure window (Articat/TRUE) or by right clicking and "Tag Element > Artifact").
The results are different though. The New-Attribute-way keeps the name "Figure" and adds a Bullet to it saying Artifact=TRUE, while the right-click-option changes it from Figure to Artifact and adds no Bullet.
Is there any difference for the person receiving the PDF and what is the better version (for what)? Thanks a lot!

Export to pdf vs. print to pdf, from InDesign CS3

We are using Indesign CS3 on Windows XP. We are creating documents for offset printing, with 300dpi photos placed in the document. We are finding that when we "EXPORT" to pdf, and choose a "high quality print", the pdf is fine. However, if we 'print to pdf' and choose "high quality print", the photos in our pdf are more pixellated, and appear to be 150 dpi or lower resolution. Is this a problem with CS3? Does it make any difference how the tiff files have been placed, or sized, in InDesign? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

In the print dialog, when printing to PDF, under the graphics panel, make sure you change the default value of "Optimized Subsampling" to "all" for the "Send Image Data" field.

How to Edit PDF from InDesign

I have a user running Adobe Indesign CS2 saving a document as a PDF. They then want to give that PDF to User2 and have them be able to make simple changes to the text in that PDF using Adobe Acrobat 8. When User2 tries to edit the text in the PDF however, they receive the error "All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font." What is the best way to ensure that User2 can edit the text in the PDF? Do they need to install the appropriate fonts? Does Indesign have the ability to simply embed the fonts with the PDF so it can be edited by anyone?

>What is the best way to ensure that User2 can edit the text in the PDF?
Have them use InDesign and suply the InDesign file.
What you are trying to do is beyond what is intended using Acrobat. Even if they have the font, their success may be limited.

How can I restore proper PDF exports from InDesign CS3 or CS5 in Snow Leopard?

I had no problems exporting PDFs from InDesign CS3 (on a Mac Pro running 10.6.4 Snow Leopard) until this past weekend, when all the fonts appeared bitmapped or thin and raggedy, and the images lost some color depth and contrast. When I copied the InDesign document to my MacBook Pro laptop, also running 10.6.4, the PDF emerged with its original quality. Calls to Adobe support referred me to documents concerning incompatibilities between InDesign and Snow Leopard. One of these documents was several pages long, but I could not print it from the Adobe website to my HP All-In-One Officejet, because one-third of the document was hidden under a white panel. This makes the document impractical for troubleshooting, because I don't have enough screen real estate (even on a 23-inch display) to keep the document open along with all the pages and dialogue boxes needed for reference. Back to phone and chat support, I was advised to upgrade my Creative Suite Premium CS3 to CS5 ($800!!!) and purchase the latest Acrobat Pro upgrade ($200), with no guarantee that this $1,000 cost would actually solve the problem. I did download the trial version of InDesign CS5, and it did NOT solve the problem. I'm also concerned that the problem did not exist until last weekend. Prior to that, my CS3 and Snow Leopard combination worked just fine. I then checked the forums and was dismayed at the variety of problems associated with PDF files, for which there seems to be no general fix. Meanwhile, I have hundreds of ads I'm supposed to be preparing and emailing as PDF proofs to businesses around the country. I have two books of 120 and 256 pages that need to be submitted to printers in PDF format with all kinds of fonts and image files belonging to my clients. The last time I submitted a book to a printer via email, the job went perfectly. This time, and next, it's obvious I won't be able to send PDFs at all! If that's the case, my 27-year-old directory business will be unable to absorb the expenses necessary to start all over with new computers and software, and I will be out of business. Period. So-- does anyone have a way to fix this? I would surely be grateful.

I'm on a local network, built on Apple's Airport Extreme. but I'm the only computer user on it. I use it for transferring files between the desktop computer (Apple Mac Pro) and laptop (Apple MacBook Pro) and, occasionally, to print from the laptop to a Xerox Phaser printer.
About a year ago, I added an Apple Airport Express to the network, allowing me to play iTunes music from the laptop through a Panasonic BluRay player connected to a home theatre sound system. No problems of this nature appeared with that installation.
About four months ago, we connected a DirecTV satellite receiver system to the D-Link router that carries wired network service from the desktop computer to the Xerox printer. The satellite TV system includes a series of modems that allows DVR recordings to be accessed and played from any of the TVs in the house. (As you would now perceive, I run my publishing business from my home). However, this set-up has been functioning for about four months, and I did not encounter the PDF problem until last weekend.
Now -- about the fonts.
Because of the many ads that I publish from various sponsors, it is possible that different versions of the same fonts have invaded my system. In the "missing font" alerts I get, InDesign frequently is seeking TT or T1 versions, which I replace with Adobe fonts when possible. Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium included a fairly large collection, which it keeps in one folder. The Apple OS also includes a bunch in a separate font management folder; and there are carry-over fonts that came with the business when I acquired it 10 years ago. Some of those fonts may go back 25 years to the book's inception. However, in the past several years, I have generally rebuilt all the ads that appear in my publications, substituting newer versions of fonts. Hence, the preflight program has been able to locate and include all the necessary fonts in the packages that go to the printers.
Once again, I have been able to export good PDF files for all the varieties of ads and books included in my system, until last weekend. One of the documents is built entirely with Helvetica Narrow, for which I have only one version.. Another document consists mainly of Times, and there are 3 or 4 versions of that font in the system; but the version contained in the document has not changed from when it exported properly.
So... I guess the complexities involved in the network and/or fonts could be part of the problem, as you suggest, but golly -- I hope not. The last thing I want to do is disrupt and rebuild the network or font collections. The font situation especially would set back production for months if not years, because so many individual ads and off-site clients would be involved in the process.
I'm sorry if I provided more details than you expected. I didn't mean to take so much of your time.
Thank you.

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.

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"?

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.

Exporting from InDesign CS3 to PDF: Headers disappearing

Hello all,
I have a bit of a problem I can't seem to fix. I looked all over the support forums, documentation, etc., but haven't found anything that resembles this.
I'm trying to create accessible PDFs in Indesign CS3 (Windows XP). I tagged everything in the document, lined them up correctly in the structure pane, mapped tags to styles, and exported to PDF with tags enabled.
The problem is the headers (H1, H2, etc.) don't show up in the tags or content windows in the Order Panel (Touchup Reading Order) in Acrobat Pro 8. Instead, they show up with Span tags. Alt text for my images are showing up, which leads me to believe I'm doing something wrong.
I don't get it. Am I missing a step? Is this just an oversight that CS4 solves?
Also, InDesign's Structure pane doesn't correspond correctly with Acrobat's Reading Order. It looks to me like the Reading Order is determined by the order in which objects appear in the original InDesign document. Stuff that is sent to the back ends up at the top of the Reading Order in Acrobat. This is a big issue for screen readers.
Any thoughts? I'm at a loss. I'd rather not retag all my headers in Acrobat.
thanks
Kurt

Even so - I don't know why - but the problem is with some fonts that the Euro doesn't show.
I always use the Euro font for the Euro symbol and never have an issue.
Even if you do manage to get the Helvetica Euro to show up in the PDF there is a chance it can drop out at the RIP stage and not appear in print - I've seen it happen far too many times.
Euro font is your friend.

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?

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-

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.

Black outlines around images in pdfs from Indesign

I'm not sure if this is an Indesign problem or Acrobat. I have imported several photoshop files in which I have deleted the background around the figures. The background is transparent. When I make a pdf from Indesign, there is a black outline that appears, tracing the edge of the figures. Does anyone know what might cause this and how to fix. I have imported this kind of file many times with no problems.

Check if they're RGB in PS. I had this problem recently when exporting to PDF. It didn't show in ID file but showed in PDF. I converted to CMYK, relinked, and exported new PDF and the problem went away.

Italics and boldface not preserved in cut-and-paste from InDesign CS3

This is using Mac InDesign CS3 5.0.1 and Mac Dreamweaver CS3
9.0.
When cuting-and-pasting text from InDesign CS3 to Dreamweaver
CS3, basic text formatting such as italics and boldface are not
preserved for me. When I select Edit, Paste Special in Dreamweaver,
the "Text with structure plus basic formatting (bold, italic)" is
not selectable when the clipboard holds InDesign-origin text.
If I paste the same InDesign text into Word, the formatting
is preserved and if I then cut-and-paste from Word into
Dreamweaver, boldface and italics are preserved. But I don't want
to cut-and-paste everything twice!
Do others experience this too?

Apparently it is an issue with Leopard (and Illustrator)
Workarounds:
1) Export from InDesign as eps or PDF, or
2) Copy paste into Photoshop as a Smartobject, and then double click the layer to edit smart object (it will open in Illustrator)
I know, it's a pain.

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit in Reader or Acrobat

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit (for example, change a name from "John" to "Johnny") from either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. I have already looked at forms, but they do not keep your font colors, faces, and sizes and just make everything that is selected as a text form Black, 12pt, Times New Roman.
Can anyone here help me?

Vincent,
If you use Acrobat pro, generate your .pdf file and then save it as (french version):
... so that anyone using Acrobat Reader (or Pro, of course) can modify the .pdf file (with limitations), add comments, ...
If you want to try to "protect" your .pdf file, you can try with this (in the "Préférences" menu (french version)):
