Image is not exporting to PDF correctly

When I export my document, everything exports fine except one image. It has been doing this with multiple images, as I've changed the image a couple of times to make sure that the image wasn't corrupted. Why would it be doing this?
How document should look:
What happens when I export to PDF:

Okay, I figured out what was making it be strange. It seems that if I don't change the transparency or add any effects, it'll show up perfectly fine in the export; otherwise, if I do anything to it within effects, it won't show up on any document. It seems to just be the nature of the picture; I wonder if it has to do with it being transparent? Either way, I fixed the problem and am just going to use the picture without effects, as it looks better that way anyway. Thank you though!

Page Break - Not Exporting to PDF Correctly (with Page View)

I am struggling maintaining page breaks upon export of the Form to a PDF even though the Form is set as "Page View". Is there a way to correct this either on the FormsCentral side or acrobat side. It is extremely frustrating not to have page breaks where designed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked the Window>Utilities>Background Tasks
CS5 now exports PDFs in the Background and thus you will have a 0kb file until the task completes.
If the Background Task isn't moving then make sure you're fully up-to-date with the software using Help>Updates
If you're still having a problem then try inserting the indesign file into a Book file - and then use the Book Panel sub menu to Export Book to PDF.
This does not use the Background Task and might output the PDF for you.

Bleeding background shape will not export to PDF

Hello everyone,
I am working in InDesign v. 7.0.3 and when I set a rectangle to bleed on all sides it will not export to PDF (using Adobe Acrobat Pro, v. 9.4.2) . That being said, shapes and text within the page all show up. Does anyone have any suggestions that might solve this very annoying mystery?
Thank you in advance for your help!
P.S. I should add that the save dialog box presents a desktop icon that does show the complete file.

No background at all? not just bleed not showing?
If it's restricted to this file, try Remove minor corruption by exporting
If it's all files, Replace Your Preferences

I can not export a PDF to word. What should I do?

I can not export a PDF to word. What should I do? Do I have to cancel my subscription? Please answer me.!!
I already paid all!

Hi wishborne,
I'm here to help! Are you unable to log in to ExportPDF, or unable to convert files once you're logged in? I tried to check your order history, but don't see any orders under the email address that you use here. Did you perhaps sign up using a different email address, or sign up via Adobe Reader?
I look forward to hearing back from you. We will get to the bottom of this.
Best,

Image adjustments not exported

Why are my image adjustments not exported with the images?

The adjustments included: exposure, clarity, saturation, vibrance and tone curve. I was using the export feature.

What adjustments did you make that do not appear to be exported? Can you show an example?
Also, just for grins, are you talking about using the export feature or exporting to PS for additional adjustments?
Thanks

Table of Contents bookmarks not exporting to PDF (CS5)

I have a 200 page book made up of 15 documents. I've created a table of contents based on paragraph styles and the TOC generates and formats correctly. When I create the TOC, the Create PDF Bookmarks box is checked. When I export the whole book I've tried it with Create Tagged PDF checked and unchecked.
After I export to PDF from the Book palette, the TOC items are links (at least they give me the pointer-hand icon) but they don't go anywhere. The only one that does is the one in the same document as the TOC. (I have tried the TOC both within a chapter and also in it's own document with no other links in it). The behavior is the same in the Bookmarks pane - all are shown but only one works. I've looked at several of the bookmarks' Properties > Actions. It says its "Going to a page in another document" > (document-name-of-the-correct-chapter-but-with-pdf-instead-of-indd.pdf) > Page 1 (this is correct) > Zoom level: actual size.
This isn't right - it's pointing to an imaginary pdf that doesn't exist. It should be pointing to page X in the current document.
Here's what I've tried:
* restarting InDesign
* restarting my machine
* deleting the TOC and regenerating it
* generating the book with all documents open or all documents closed
* moving the TOC to its own document
* probably some other things I've forgotten in the struggle
All of the links and references in the individual documents are good.
I've looked around these forums and this seems to be an ongoing and unsolved issue for other folks using older versions. This is the closest I came to finding an answer but ended up with an Adobe employee logging it as a bug in 2009. Bookmarks not exporting from InDesign to PDF in CS4 By (c_goates)
So here's hoping there is some new information. I've been trying to get this to work for far too long and don't relish drawing bookmark boxes around all 55 of my text links.
Specs: Max OS 10.6.6, CS5 (Version 7.0)
Sorry this is so long, but details help, usually. Thanks in advance for any advice.

There are some known problems with bookmarks and CS5 as well. As far as I know, the 7.0.3 update won't fix them, but it does solve some other problems, so you should install it.

Chapter Headings Are Not Exporting to PDF as h1-h3 tags

With two-column layouts, even though I assigned PDF export tags to the chapter heading Paragraph Styles, they are not being exported to PDF with h1-3 tags.
I'm using InDesign CS6 and Acrobat Pro XI on a 64-bit Windows 7 system.
To export, I'm using the
File / Adobe PDF Presets option:
On the Export Adobe PDF pop-up-screen, the following are checked:
Create Tagged PDF
Bookmarks
Hyperlinks
And I have the Compatibility set to "Acrobat 8/9 (PDF1.7)
Any ideas why the heading tags are not being exported correctly?
Thanks.

Keynote symbols not exporting to PDF

How do I make Keynote export % symbols to a PDF? For some reason it is not exporting. I tried using multiple fonts. I was pretty surprised to see that Keynote was leaving characters off of exports. Usually Apple is pretty good about accuracy.
Yosemite OS 10.10.2
Keynote 6.5.2 (2119)
Macbook Pro 15 Retina
Fonts tried: Helvetica, Futura Std
Could not export % symbols adjacent to numbers

Sorry. my bad on version numbers. The latest patch for CS4 is 6.0.6, but you might want to stop at 6.0.5 if you have file with imported Illustrator graphics because, if memory serves, the 6.0.6 patch changes the way they are scaled on relink.
Do you actually have an InDesign Document open when you go to File > Export...? I presume the answer is yes or the command would not be active.
When the export dialog opens you should see a standard file save dialog with a large area that shows folders and files, and two fields below where you can enter a name and choose a file type to export. What do you see in the file type field? If it isn't PDF, can you click the arrow on the end and choose Adobe PDF?
What is showing in the name field? Are you able to enter a new name of your choice?
I suspect that at some point you may have changed the name of the PDF you exported from the file (the default is to use the same file name, but you can enter anything you like), then saved the .indd file after doin the export. When you do this you embed the new PDF file name into the file and it will always be selected the next time you try to export. If I recall correctly, exporting to .idml or .inx, then opeing that and resaving as a new .indd should clear that, and simply changing the name for the export to match the filename of the docuemtn may work as well.

InDesignCC. How to keep image quality with exporting Interactive PDF?

Hello everyone, I'm using InDesign CC, I'm exporting a PDF that has PNG images, the problem is that I'm loosing the sharpness and the pureness in the images after exporting the file into PDF Interactive... the Settings I'm using for Image Handling are Compression: Automatic , JPEG Quality: Maximum, Resolution PPI: 300..
The file size is "Letter" with web Intent (792px x 612px) the images I'm using are big and have great quality, can anyone tell me how I export into PDF interactive without loosig images quality? I want to keep this pureness and sharpness in the images
Thanks in advance

It depends on the image. Best way for us to advise you is to open your image, then go to Image > Image Size and upload a screen capture of the Image Size box with the readings.
What you might have working against you is not enough pixels. Upsampling may just make it blurred. But we will see.
300 ppi is also not carved in stone, you may get away with 200 ppi depending on where you are sending it for printing.
And lastly, if you are paying a commercial printer to do this, it's best to consult with them and see what they can do.

Image aliasing when exporting print PDF at 300 ppi (bicubic downsampling)

Hello,
i am trying to describe a problem which persists since version CS3 of InDesign. It's about aliased edges in images in a certain angle; occuring when exporting the brochure as PDF file (at 300 ppi). The placed images are always at a higher quality than needed (for example 780 ppi effective). The aliasing is not there when opening the original image files in photoshop (viewing at 100%).
The PDF export settings are:
- Compression: Bicubic downsampling to300 ppi for images above 350 ppi (for color images, grayscale images and monochrome images)
- Crop Image data to frames
- Marks: Crop Marks and Page Information
- Output: No Color Conversion
- Advanced: Transparency Flattener: High Resolution
- Compatibility: Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)
- PDF /X-3:2002
Below are two screenshots
- The left one was the original image, downsampled to 216 mm in width using automatic bicubic downsampling
- The right one is the result when exporting a InDesign Document with the same width to a PDF with the mentioned settings
Downsampled in Photoshop CS6 to 216 mm width
Exported from InDesign CS6 with mentioned settings
I have no clue what happens here, but it looks like the internal downsampling of InDesign CS6 is not very good.
When i write a PostScript file of the brochure and put it in Distiller (with the same PDF Preset as above), the image looks like the one made with Photoshop. So this problem has to lie somwhere deep in InDesign or it's settings.
Anybody with similar experiences?

Something about your test looks off. The export from ID and export from PS PDFs are both zoomed at 1200%, but the export from ID vrsion is 90% smaller.
Yeah I noticed that I actually had the image in InDesign scaled @ 90%, so the effective ppi was around 650. I get the same jagged results when I use anything other than a 300 or 600 effective ppi. Whereas if I use a 650ppi image in Photoshop and export to PDF, it downsamples smoothly.
Rob Day wrote:
The diagonal lines in your test are 1 pixel so at 300ppi to an offset press at 150lpi, the lines would be less than a halftone dot so I'm pretty sure you would need a loupe to see any difference. Maybe with a stochastic screen there would be better resolution but still difficult to see. So if the printing is that good I would just export without down sampling. With disk space running at 15 cents a gigabyte there's not much to gain with a downsample.
It becomes noticeable with some images more than others, but I'm printing a lot of images of buildings and drawings with sharp lines that converge to a point, or are distinguishable in the full size image but indistinguishable when downsampled. This can introduce distracting patterns when they aren't downsampled smoothly, something like this:
Unfortunately the printers near me aren't very good, so I'm having things printed online, and this particular printer (blurb.com - for a small job) won't accept large PDFs without compressed/downsampled images :/ I'm making 300dpi versions of the really crucial images for the time being, but I'm hoping there is a better solution!
The other issue is exporting the PDF for use on the web, either as a download or on an online PDF viewer like issuu.com. The two PDFs on the right side of my test look much better in these situations. Is there any disadvantage to using Distiller to make my PDFs for this purpose using the Device Independent setting? I don't have any special interactive elements.

Images pixelated when exporting to PDF - Why?

I am attempting to export an InDesign CS4 file to a PDF. It is a calendar grid, with 12 pages (months).
I have placed images for the phases of the moon into the appropriate dates.
The images were originally 72 dpi, and I increased it to 3-00 dpi before inserting them into InDesign.
I did not expand the size of the images, in fact I've reduced them by 10% by scaling the image.
I have the display quality set to high.
When I view the images in the file through InDesign, they look fine.
But when I export the file to a PDF, the images appear to be horribly pixelated.
Would anyone know what is causing this issue, and how to fix it?
Any help that anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Upsampling an image will not make it less pixelated. You really should be using vector versions of these symbols.

Pages 5.1 not exporting to pdf properly

When I export or print my pages document as a pdf, some text is missing in the resulting pdf.
Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks,
Rapolas

Yes, it does.
I have a few sentences within a single cell, and half of the second sentence is missing.
In Pages 5.1, the document looks like this:
Whereas the exported or printed pdf is:
The only acceptable workaround I could find was to export to pages 09 format, open it with pages 4.3 and export as pdf. That one looks just the way it is supposed to. But it is not a solution.
The worst thing is that you cannot spot the defect at a glance. Neither can I trust the export as pdf function.

Hyperlinks not exporting to pdf.

We have a report that has hyperlinks to different pages in the report. I did this by formatting text as a hyperlink and using a formula to generate the link in the format #page=5 when this was exported to pdf, the links worked perfectly and linked back to the appropriate page in the same pdf. This was done in Crystal 9. Now we have upgraded to Crystal 11 and it does not work anymore. I can look at the contents of the pdf and it does not appear that any links are exporting to pdf. Is this feature broken in CR11? Does anyone know when this will be fixed?

previdn,
Pages to my knowledge does not retain the multimedia elements when exporting pdfs. The manual is not illuminating on the subject. I thought it might be possible that the media element is a reference and requires the external file to be present, usually in the same location, in the same folder both when you create it and try to play it back.
However I just did some experiments in Pages, Preview and Acrobat, including the propinquity and making the file, media and .pdf carry the same name. The media just is not referenced from the exported .pdf document. What you are seeing is the "poster" frame of the QT movie, in your case the black rectangle.
Media files are normally added to a .pdf in Acrobat Pro, after they are created, where you can add much more control over how they are viewed and launched.
Until Apple fixes this, your only choice is to do this in KeyNote which has excellent media exporting.
You could try Numbers as well on the off chance Apple implemented this function there.

Buttons not exporting to PDF from CS5

Howdy, all. I've a problem exporting documents containing buttons to PDF. Specifically, CS5 doesn't export interactive buttons placed in my InDesign document to interactive buttons in a PDF file; they show up, instead, as simple, non-interactive graphics. (No pointing fingers, no actions.)
This is true for all documents I have created in or imported into CS5.
As a test, I went back to CS4 and created a document with a single button chosen from the "Sample Buttons," to which I attached the "Next Page" action. Exporting to PDF from CS4 works fine; I get a functioning Next Page button in the resulting PDF file. Opening the same InDesign document in CS5 and exporting with the same settings to PDF yields a non-functioning button graphic appearing on the PDF page.
Opening the PDF file in BBEdit, I see that there is no "Fields" entry in the PDF file's Catalog dictionary, so it seems as though the button is, indeed, being exported into the PDF file as a simple graphic.
What obscure CS5 setting (presumably hiding in plain sight) am I missing?
By the way, CS5 does export the buttons correctly to swf.
Thanks much.
- John

In CS5 you have to change the export type to an 'Adobe PDF (Interactive)' to get the buttons to work.
Bit of a pain because you can't save presets like you can with the standard PDF export, but you can specify some of the PDFs view settings at the same time. In my view they should have just added all that functionality to the standard PDF export, but perhaps that wasn't possible. However it was a dud decision to remove working button export from the other PDF export.
