Hyperlink won't open PDF when exporting from pages

When I'm export my docunment from pages 5.1, only the first page's hyperlink works. All the other pages are underlined but the hyperlinks do not work. Any solutions?

One of many bugs and missing features in Pages 5.
It happens to links with edited URLs after the first page.
If you still have Pages '08/'09 on your Mac use that and give yourself an upgrade to 100+ features missing in Pages 5.

Print to pdf and don't use anything with transparency.
Have you ensured all your images are actually high enough resolution for whatever purpose (which you haven't said) you want?

How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?

How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?
I have files I made with Pages and exported as PDF but I can't open them with pages to edit?
Also, where are the recent files created by pages located? Can't find those to open either..

Hi Tom,
I was delighted when I signed up for Pages. Clunky yes, but it worked. I've been a graphic designer on a Mac for 25 plus years and have logged too many horror stories of "upgrade" wars which cost me massive lost time, data and money forcibly extracted just so I could finish a project.
When I first used Pages in April of 2012? or there about, I was able to open Word documents exported to .pdf format, emailed to me, which I then dragged into Pages. I could make the changes I needed to make, export as a .pdf, return it back to my client which they could then edit on whatever it was they were using. I'm not a neophyte with this. I've had Original Photoshop as a stand alone, Quark (which locked users out 6 months after I purchased it.) Quark again, Freehand, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop again, Creative Suite for several upgrades, Acrobat Pro. 2 years ago I lost 6 years of Quicken data and had to and "upgrade" start over. This last go around I had to "upgrade" my Apple ID - yes I had 2 on purpose, lost my Pandora One and my ability to get into the Tulsa County Library website.
At this point, I'm retired and feel like what I've paid for in the past should WORK today. I have a 100+ page cookbook in Quark which I was able to export as a .pdf, that I've lost the tags too, Easier to start over. I have artwork that is hundreds of megs in Photoshop. Not the least bit interested in anybody's "cloud".
Thanks for letting me vent. I'm determined to keep my equipment and software up to date so I can enjoy the skills I've acquired, but I completely cringe at Apple's antics. I truly hate it when I have to respond to some new "tip" or product offer. BooHiss. Happy Turkey Day. Pages is a "turkey" program.
Best regards, mbd

Getting message while opening PDF file exported from InDesign

Hi,
We have created an interactive PDF in InDesign. In this PDF we have created 15-20 pages which are link together and next previous button is provided.
We are using InDesign CS3 and PDF reader 9. PDF is exported for version 8 onwards. Exported PDF is working properly on our machine but our client is receving the following message on their machine if they try to open this PDF (they have PDF reader 8):
"Please Note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, Please fill it in and print it"
We have not used any kind of form in my PDF only internal page hyperlinks are given.
Attached screen shot is given for your reference.
Is there as way for remove this message so it doen not appear? I would really appriciate if anybody can help me out.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Deepika

Deepika,
The alert dialog your screen shot depicts will only display if there is some kind of form annotation present in a PDF that is not "Reader Enabled".
Look closer at your 'final' PDF.
A PDF, not "Reader Enabled", that contains any form annotations will, when opened by Adobe Reader,
result in the alert dialog that you mention. A "hard wired" default.
Note that the forms document message bar can be "off" by a selection in Adobe Reader / Acrobat Preferences.
Select the 'Forms' category. Select "Always hide forms document message bar".
Be well...

Write filename somewhere in a PDF when exporting from InDesign?

Is there a way, when exporting a PDF from InDesign, to somewhere/somehow auto-embed the filename into the resulting PDF? Doesn't need to be "visible" in the job, but needs to be accessible somehow. I'm working with a very difficult client who changes PDF names and then, months later, sends the PDF back with revisions and I have no idea which file the original PDF was created from. I know I can manually enter this information, but I'm looking for a more automated way to do this?
Regards,
Kristin.

Put this script into a folder "Startup Scripts" inside your scripts folder. It auto-updates the document metadata every time you save a document. This automatically is saved in an exported PDF.
//InxAfterSafe.jsx
//An InDesign CS3 JavaScript
#targetengine "session"
//Creates a simple event listener.
main();
function main()
var myEventListener1 = app.addEventListener("afterSave", setMetadata, false);
var myEventListener2 = app.addEventListener("afterSaveAs", setMetadata, false);
function setMetadata()
var myFileName = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.indd$/i, "");
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.documentTitle = myFileName;
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.copyrightNotice = myFileName;
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.jobName = myFileName;

Can't Print PDF files exported from Pages

I spent all weekend creating a 25 page document - exported it to PDF and it won't print at all. Sent it to 50 customers before I discovered the problem
I used the same fonts and template last year in a document in Version 1 of Pages and had no problems.
I can print directly from Pages and also no problems printing if I export to Word but not PDF which is of course the format I require!
I checked the security setting in Acrobat and none are set so it sould be fine!
Help!?!

Can you open and print the the file in Preview? I found Acrobat Reader a little flakey with X and deleted it from my system. I use Preview for everything.
Instead of the export feature have you tried printing to pdf? See if it makes any difference.

Blurry/ fuzzy fonts in pdf when export from indesign

Hello all,
i have done alot of research/ readings via the internet (& forum) but i still can't find a solution to this:
- I have saved my pdfs (line drawings, texts, graphics) in illustrator.
- i 'place' them into Indesign.
- In indesign, i click 'export', 'adobe pdf (print)', ' high quality print'.
Result: the texts on the embedded pdfs are fuzzy. I have used 2 fonts- one is fine & editable in the exported pdf (garamond); only 'arial' seems rasterized & fuzzy.
What have i tried:
- i tried exporting as 'pdf X 1a 2001' settings as it is mentioned that it is good for printing.
- i have tried clicking 'do not downsample' in all the 'compression categories'.
- i have also checked 'find font', to see if the 'arial' is true font. It is.
What else can i do? kindly advise. Thank you in advance.
*software:
adobe cs5
Best,
Jessica

Oh no...
i see your point now.
That text is from the usual font folder.
- i checked in illlustrator: 'type', 'find font', 'arial'; whereelse in Indesign, it is 'arial regular'.
- In control panels, 'font' folder, i see i only have 1 arial regular file, so both illustrator & indesign should have the same 'arial regular'...
OK UPDATE: I GOT IT RIGHT NOW:
- In illustrator file, to create pdf: 'print', 'printer: cutepdfwriter', 'output', 'printer resolution: 100lpo1200dpi' (initially it was 72lpi), and 'graphics', 'fonts: download'- 'none' (initally: subset).
I don't know which made it work: Pinrter resolution or fonts download.
But now i could edit the illustrator pdf 'arial' font; and when placed in indesign to export, it is not blurry anymore.
Never knew something like this can make such a big difference, thank you Bob!
**but can you let me know what was it i changed that made it worked as well? thanks!
Jess

Setting Initial View of .PDF when exporting from ID

Hi,
I use 5.0.1 and upgrading is not an option due to the IT department - don't get me started!
I have created a document in ID with Bookmarks to aid navigation when its converted to a PDF.
In Acrobat 8.0 there is a feature to set the initial view to open the pdf with the bookmarks tab showing - Document Settings > Initial View > Layout & Magnification > Bookmarks Panel & Page.
Is it possible to set this attribute in ID without having to use Acrobat after creating the pdf? i.e when I export the ID file to pdf it is effectivly fire and forget.
Thanks in advance all...

No need to apologize - I'm a rookie when it comes to IS detail.
I use Acrobat Standard 8.1 when setting the initial view and IE 7. There are no security settings set.
I'm posting the documents on a web site and others that open to view are most likely using Acrobat Reader.
Not certain what I should try next. I appreciate your help.

Corruption of weblinks containing '%20' when exporting from pages to pdf

When I export a document in pages to a pdf file, embedded weblinks which contain the code '%20' as part of the web address (which I understand to be HTML code for a space?) these are converted to '%2520' which then leave the weblinks unusable. Any ideas on how to fix this, is this a known bug in Pages?

Yes, %20 is code for space. %25 is code for %, hence %2520. I don't think this is just Pages having problems. It reads/translate what is written. I have seen numeral times in saved web pages opened again in browser. Sometimes the URLs work anyway and sometimes not.
My advise is that you change all %20 to space before saving. Can be done with the search function, Cmd + F in Pages.

Blurry Interactive PDF when exporting from InDesign CS6

Hi there, wondering if anyone can help me out with this question,
I've created a new document in InDesign, with intent set to 'web'. I have set the page size to exactly the correct pixels that I need. I've inserted my image, which is 72dpi and the exact pixel size I need. Everything looks good, and seems to be correct.
Problem occurs when I go to export.
I'm exporting the PDF as 'Interactive', but no matter what setting I put it at, the finished PDF seems to push the final view by about 30%? and therefor makes the PDF blurry.
It seems a little crazy to me, as everything seems in place and correct?
Any suggestions?

Acrobat views files at 96 ppi.
You can see this in Edit>Preferences and go to Page Display.
Solution - I'd use 96 ppi images.

Is it possible to rotate a PDF when exporting from Indesign?

Is it possible to set a rotaton in the export PDF window of Indesign? I see I can do this in the print menu, but I don't want to export my PDFs this way.

I don't think so, you may be best just rotating the finished pdf in Acrobat Pro, then saving... or just rotate spreads before export in InD.

Large PDF file sizes when exporting from InDesign

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew why some PDF file sizes are so large when exporting from ID.
I create black and white user manuals with ID CS3. We post these online, so I try to get the file size down as much as possible.
There is only one .psd image in each manual. The content does not have any photographs, just Illustrator .eps diagrams and line drawings. I am trying to figure out why some PDF file sizes are so large.
Also, why the file sizes are so different.
For example, I have one ID document that is 3MB.
Exporting it at the smallest file size, the PDF file comes out at 2MB.
Then I have another ID document that is 10MB.
Exporting to PDF is 2MB (the same size as the smaller ID document)... this one has many more .eps's in it and a lot more pages.
Then I have another one that the ID size is 8MB and the PDF is 6MBwhy is this one so much larger than the 10MB ID document?
Any ideas on why this is happening and/or how I can reduce the file size.
I've tried adjusting the export compression and other settings but that didn't work.
I also tried to reduce them after the fact in Acrobat to see what would happen, but it doesn't reduce it all that much.
Thanks for any help,
Cathy

> Though, the sizes of the .eps's are only about 100K to 200K in size and they are linked, not embedded.
But they're embedded in the PDF.
> It's just strange though because our marketing department as an 80 page full color catalog that, when exported it is only 5MB. Their ID document uses many very large .tif files. So, I am leaning toward it being an .eps/.ai issue??
Issue implies there's something wrong, but I think this is just the way
it's supposed to work.
Line drawings, while usually fairly compact, cannot be lossy compressed.
The marketing department, though, may compress their very large TIFF
files as much as they like (with a corresponding loss of quality). It's
entirely possible to compress bitmaps to a smaller size than the
drawings those bitmaps were made from. You could test this yourself.
Just open a few of your EPS drawings in Photoshop, save as TIFF, place
in ID, and try various downsampling schemes. If you downsample enough,
you'll get the size of the PDF below a PDF that uses the same graphics
as line drawing EPS files. But you may have to downsample them beyond
recognition...

Embedding font problems (when exporting from InDesign to PDF)

A message alert is shown, when opening a pdf - after exporting from InDesign: Cannont exctract the embedded Font Frutiger.
We have uninstalled the frutiger font and installed an open type. But the font is not embedded anyhow..?
Can anyone help?
Thanks very much.
Jane

I don't know if you need help scripting this, but...........
If you can not re-create the PDF from InDesign using the OTF,
In Acrobat, highlight the text with the acrobat touch-up text tool, right click and go to properties. You should be able to assign the OTF font running on you system, and select the embed option.
If not, this is why PitStop is an indespensable (sp?) tool.
Best of luck

Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?

Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?
When I export a PDF from InDesign CS6 with specific margins, Acrobat does not recognize the Art box. (I have PitStop Pro 11 for page box view)

Thanks Steve,
We are exporting PDF's as you indicate. I see the same thing. The boxes are all the size of the original InDesign document. The PDF art box should be predicated by the margins in InDesign. When we had CS3, this worked great. Now, it seems that there is a disconnect between the two Adobe products honoring the page box size. I have contacted the Adobe techs via chat, and they had no clue what I was referring to. I find it mystifying that Acrobat can not interpret the art box set in InDesign as margins.
