Illustator Image placed in InDesign CS5 moving position when Exporting to PDF

I have a Illustrator image placed on a master page and when I go to export to a PDF the image moves to the left about 2 inches.
The same image on another master page outputs correctly.
I copied and pasted it from the page that is working correctly to this master page, but it still moves.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Are you fully patched?
Can you make this happen with a fresh file and different graphic?
Tried the fix corrupt files by expoting to inx or idml?

There were no results for InDesign CS5.5 crashes when exporting a PDF in OSX.

Clean install, I created a file from scratch with embedded links to jpegs, single page pdfs, and photoshop files I created.
This is not acceptable in released software to be going backwards like this. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
Thanks.

That sounds like the problem that Larry was talking about which seems to be related to the latest release of Lion. Try holding down the Opt key when you export to bypass the dialogs. You'll find more details at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4496690#4496690

Using Transparent Photoshop images placed into Indesign CS5

Placed a transparent photoshop image with clean/beautifully sharp mask inside my Indesign design.
Added a drop shadow with Indesign and gave plenty of space with the outside frame thingy.
However when I export the PDF my round image mask shows a blunt ugly edge on my perfectly round masked circle. The photoshop image is perfectly round... How come Indesign blunts the right edge?
The image is not being clipped by the frame, I have given it plenty of space. This seems to be a CS5 issue as my coworkers who have similar file setups on their CS4 files get no circle blunting! We just got the proofs back today and is not just a quirk of the pdf rendering on our screens.
Thanks!

Ah, says I'm using acrobat 5 compatibility setting. My flattener options seem to be greyed out at PMrip ?
Does this look like it should?

Indesign CS5.5 Crashes when exporting an Interactive PDF

My InDesign CS5.5 continues to crash when trying to export an Interactive PDF.
It begins to come up with a box titled WARNING but it all closes and i don't even see the error message.
Will it work if I deactivate and reactive? will that work by any chance?
Its really frustrating.
Yasmine.

Please upload the crash report to http://pastebin.com and post a link here.
I saw the "Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences" thread but am confused as to what I need to delete vs. rename or move.
It's teh same as the vulcan nerve pinch you tried -- I assume InDesign prompted you to delete preferences and you said OK.
What happens if you create a new document and Pages (panel) > Move Pages pages 1-83 to the new document, and then recreate 84 and 85 by hand? Does it work? Presumably this is document corruption of some sort.

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).

AI graphic placed in ID CS4 doc changes when exported to PDF

Hi,
I'm attempting to export a 6-page ID CS4 document to PDF, and am having inconsistencies in how the graphics look once they're exported.
I am linking to the exact same Illustrator file when placing the logo on each page, but when I export to PDF, only two of the logo images come out accurately (like below):
The other four come out with an additional black and red outline (like below):
I'm at a loss as to why these outlines are appearing. Does anyone have advice on what kind of newbie mistake I'm making, here?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Laura

Thanks for all the help - I am definitely willing to work to find the answers!
Bob - I'm viewing the PDF in Acrobat Pro. I'm not sure how much detail you need in the export settings, but the Export Layers option is set to Visible Layers. I tried exporting with the other two options and the problem still exists.
Eugene, Peter & Jeffrey - I went to the Illustrator file and found some extra colors in there. I removed them, thinking that would solve it, but when I relinked and exported it did the same thing.
I just did a test print, and it actually prints correctly - it's just during the viewing of the PDF where the problem occurs.

Indesign CS5 crashes trying to export from PDF to epub

I am trying to use Export for command to send a pdf file placed into In Design to epub format.
The program crashes immeadiately.
The PDF is 120 pp and includes a TOC. The OS is Win 7 Pro.

What are you trying to accomplish? Are you thinking that this PDF will be converted to an EPUB with live text?
It won’t. You will have an epub with 120 JPG images and no TOC at all.
I don’t know why it’s crashing but it doesn’t matter anyway since, I imagine, you are under the false impression that you will get a functional epub doing this.

Indeed. To be more specific, typically program execution begins in a main() function, which calls some other function (say, to handle menu selections), which calls some other function (whatever menu function the user chose), which calls some other function, etc., etc., perhaps 30 or 40 functions deep.
Because of the way C++ calling conventions work, the history of which function called which other function is preserved in a data structure known as the stack. (The stack also does other things). Under normal circumstances, this "stack trace" is reconstructed to form the crash report.
There is one stack trace for each thread (parallel execution components of the program), but the thread that crashed is usually the only one of interest.
In this case, thread 0 crashed. Its stack trace is meaningless. It contains two stack frames (e.g. functions). At the top, the most recent function is called _XHNDL_trapback_instruction, which is a pseudo address that basically tells us nothing, other than there was some sort of fault.
But typically we will see what function called that top function; and the function that called that; etc., etc.
In your case we do not. Allegedly the crashing code was called from the address 4294967295, or in hexadecimal 0xffffffff. And that is the largest number that a 32-bit word can hold. It is, sadly, garbage.
So your stack trace tell us zilch

Import image metadata into Indesign CS5 automatically

Hi,
I've been looking all over for this and I have found various bits and pieces of information, but nothing comprehensive enough for a beginner. Perhaps I am researching it wrong. Could you please point me to a complete and easy to understand source, or give me some tips and details regarding the process?
I don't know if this makes a difference, but I am trying to export my pictures (there's quite a bit of them, so working in batches is preferable) into a sort of catalogue, and I'd like Indesign to pick up the metadata that was edited in Bridge.
Thank you in advance.

Metadata is still pretty arcane. The form that Adobe uses, XMP, is designed for automated software manipulation, but the software hasn't reached the point-and-shoot stage.
Now that forum-searching seems to have been fixed, searching for "metadata captions indesign" may turn up useful threads, such as this one for CS4, mentioning a script that can pull metadata from an image for use as a caption in an ID file.
On a more arcane level, when exporting to PDF InDesign does pick up and pass on "object-level metadata" for continuous-tone images: selecting an object with Acrobat 9 Pro's Touch-up Object and then right-clicking will let you choose Show Metadata for the object: the individualized metadata survives, though seeing it takes some doing.
Good luck!

Adobe InDesign CS5.5 wandelt normales Schwarz bei PDF in 4c um, wie verhindern?

Adobe InDesign CS5.5 wandelt normales Schwarz bei PDF in 4c um, wie verhindern?

To a Moderater: Can someone move it to the German forum?
===
WIe sind Deine Farbeinstellungen: Bearbeiten > Farbeinstellungen? Vor allem was sind die verwendeten CMYK-Richtlinien.
Das Problem ist dann gegeben, wenn Dein Dokument in einem CMYK-Farbprofil angelegt ist (und Deine Grafiken) und die Ausgabe erfolgt auf ein anderes Farbprofil.
Damit der Farbeindruck gleich bleibt, werden die Farben in ein anderes Farbprofil konvertiert, damit die Farbwerte gleich bleiben, wird die Einstellung Werte erhalten verwendet. Das ist eben in den Farbeinstellungen generell festgelegt, kann jedoch spezifisch beim PDF-Export abweichend gewählt werden.
Bei der Verwendung von CMYK-Bildmaterial steht man bei einem abweichenden Ausgabeprofil vor dem Dilemma, entweder man erhält die Farbwerte und verändert den Farbeindruck der Bilder oder man konvertiert und konvertiert daurch auch in buntes Schwarz.
Die einfache Lösung in InDesign ist, dass man ausschließlich Bilder, also Fotos, in RGB platziert und Vektoren als CMYK und dann bei der Ausgabe „Werte erhalten” wählt.

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 $esnp that contains a collection of files roughly 8mb in size.
*.pdf$P1O0 - 4kb
*.pdf$T - 20kb
*.pdf$W214 - 317kb
*.pdf$V429 - 1,270kb
*.pdf$W429 - 1,270kb
*.pdf$W858 - 5,083kb
2. When Saving as EPS from Illustrator, a folder is created named $esnp collection roughly 8mb
*.eps$P1O0 - 6kb
*.epsf$T - 20kb
*.eps$W214 - 317kb
*.eps$V429 - 1,268kb
*.eps$W429 - 1,268kb

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CS5 - Graphic with feathered edge disappears when exported to PDF

I just ran into an odd problem, and unfortunately the book got printed before we saw the problem … ugh!
I set up a chapter header for a book. It was a graphic of wood to which I added a 0p9 feathered edge. In a text box on top of this, I put the chapter name in white type. They were both on the same layer, but the text box was on top.
I didn't notice at the time that when I exported the page to PDF, the graphic disappeared … and since the type was white, the whole chapter header was invisible. If I opened the PDF in Acrobat Pro using Pitstop, I could select a box where it was supposed to be, but couldn't make it show up.
I tried creating another layer and moving the text up to that; no good. The only way I was eventually able to make that darn wood graphic show up on the PDF was if I shut off the feathered edge.
Now I know I've used a feathered edge frequently, and have never run into this problem before. Does anyone have any idea why this time should be any different? There's was no color other than black, only one layer, and nothing was set to non-printing. I used the same export settings I always use. Stumped here … and very unhappy that we missed it and printed the book without the headers (my fault for not catching it, but doesn't make me any happier).
Specs:
Mac OS 10.5.8
InDesign CS5 (version 7.0)
Export setting - set to print to Acrobat 8/9 compatibility (PDF 1.7) with crop marks on
Hoping someone has some insight here. It's too late for the current job, but I'd like to know why it did it so I can avoid the problem in the future.

Hi John,
My InDesign files are too big to upload anywhere, but these two screen shots show an example of this problem.
This is how the spread looks in InDesign (link and effect info for right image shown):
... and this is how the exported PDF spread looks (normal "Press Quality" export setting):
As you can see, several, but not all, objects with transparent effects have disappeared.

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
