Impossibilité d'exporter en pdf (InDesign CS5)

Bonjour,
Parfois quand je veux exporter un document InDesign CS5 en pdf, rien ne se passe, et quand je veux fermer le document en question j'ai le message d'erreur suivant : "InDesign ne peut pas fermer le document car il est utilisé par une ou plusieurs tâches en arrière-plan". Mais aucun fichier pdf n'est généré... La seule solution (de fortune) que j'ai trouvée pour l'instant est de forcer InDesign à quitter, puis de réessayer jusqu'à tant que ça fonctionne.
Quelqu'un aurait-il une solution ?
Un grand merci par avance

Bonjour,
J'ai exactement le même souci, et depuis 2 ordinateurs différents (Imac du bureau et Macbook de la maison)
Je suis sur 2 licences (légales :-) ) différentes.
Quand j'essaye d'exporter mes documents, ça mouline dans le vide, et si j'affiche la progression de l'exportation, ça bloque à 0%.
La seule solution que j'ai trouvé, c'est d'enregistrer, forcer InDesign à fermer, relancer et là ça marche.
Mais dès que je fais la moindre modif sur mon document, ça plante à nouveau.
C'est plutôt inssuportable.
Existe-t-il une solution à ce problème, j'ai fait toutes les mises à jour et rien y fait, et c'est quand même mon métier de créer des documents. Cette option qui devait nous faire gagner beaucoup de temps me fait au contraire perdre un temps fou !!!
Allez Adobe, je te lâche 1200 € tous les 2 ans, trouves moi une solution s'il te plait !!!
Bien à vous.

Problem in the exportation to PDF (Indesign CS6)

Problem in the exportation to PDF (Indesign CS6):
Page with 3 layers: 1st background image, 2nd semi-transparent white square, 3rd text in color black.
It looks OK in Indesign, but when exporting, in the PDF file the letters are not black, they are gray. What could happened? I've tryed already the obvious solutions (the order of layers is OK, restarted the PC...)
Thank you in advance.

the default [Black] swatch (0/0/0/100 in CMYK) really is a lighter color than a rich black mixed from four CMYk ink, or 3 RGB colors. It would be pretty unusual to see a black background in an image that wasn't a mix.
Do you have the preference in ID for Appearance of Black set to Display All Blacks Accurately? That will show you the difference in ID on screen as well.

Colour change in identically exported PDFs: InDesign CS5 to CS6

Artwork turns out with a greener hue in a PDF Print document exported using InDesign CS6 trial software that has ruined a whole print run.
This catalogue has been printed in past years using CS4 and CS5 software, each time the colours in the exported PDF proof, PDF Print file and InDesign files being accurate and matching perfectly.
This time I used a trial of InDesign CS6 - Importing the same mother file as previous years and working on the document. When exporting the document however, despite using identical settings to export PDF files in the past, the exported PDFs turn out with a greener hue than the previous CS5 PDFs. I trialed a few different kinds of colour conversions in the PDF export window (i.e. 'no conversion' to 'convert to destination - RGB') just to see what happened - and all turned out with the same result. The colour change is small but this was exxaggerated at print and as a result the colours
looked drastically different from the catalogue the year before. Printing aside, (as it's a whole other ballgame), it came down to this slight PDF colour change.
I'm wondering if anyone can help explain this - does CS6 handle colour exporting differently to CS5?

Hi Eugene,
Looking up the settings, they say the following:
InDesign CS5: Unsynchronised "settings are not synchronised for consistent colour" (odd; CS5 version is where the file exported with accurate colours)
InDesign CS6: Synchronised "using the same colour settings for consistent colour management" (CS6 version exported with a colour change)
Another thing I've realised that might be an issue:
The product images are still in RGB format (supplied by the photographer), where everything else in the artwork is in CMYK format. I've run a test export where I've converted everything to CMYK and exported it to a PDF.
The results:
InDesign CS5: Same colours consistently on both PDFs with RGB images and with all CMYK images.
InDesign CS6: Green hue across PDF with RGB images in it, Correct colours in PDF with all CMYK images.
So is this where the problem lies? The CS6 software having Synchronised colour settings shows a colour change when RGB photos are exported to PDF?
Let me know your thoughts...

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.

Remove back image while exporting to PDF (InDesign CS4)??

Hi All,
I have two images in my InDesign CS4 file and one image is hiding behind my second image. When I am exporting my InDesign file as Pdf and opening in Acrobat, Acrobat showing bottom image first and then showing my top image.
Is there any way to remove my bottom image which is appearing behind in my top image while exporting to Pdf.
I don't want remove manually because it happening with most of my InDesign file.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Baljeet

I would move bottom image to separate layer and then eventually I would switch it off.
If you don't want to change anything in InDesign you can eliminate the second image in your already generated PDF.
Open your PDF in Acrobat Pro.
Advanced -> Print Production -> PDF Optimizer.
You can leave only "Clean Up" check box marked (eventually Transparency if Acrobat will not allow you to switch it off). All the rest leave unchecked.
This operation will remove hidden image.
Correction: It will not remove the image. It just made the PDF to be displayed much more faster that is why the second image appearance was not noticeable. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Dotted Strokes not exporting to pdf (InDesign CS3).

I'm producing a booklet in CS3 where I've used a lot of dotted strokes (both as decorative lines, and as outlines to background panels beneath text). When I export to pdf, I'm finding that all the spreads that contain these elements come up blank with error messages. If I change the stroke type to solid, there is no problem. Is this a bug with the dotted stroke feature, or anything else? Any fixes or suggestions would be great to hear.

Thanks Peter. Yup, I even sent it to my regular printer and they get the issue too. Moving the strokes to different layers and unchecking compression doesn't help either. I have actually had this issue before on another project, and had to workaround by redoing the dotted lines in illustrator and importing them into the InDesign file as pdfs. But this time the artwork has a ton of the dotted lines, too many to redraw.

Hi,
I have updated a small manual and then tried to export to pdf so I could open it with Acrobat 9 in order to impose with Quite Imposing. I couldn't find the export to pdf control so I tried preflight testing and discovered two chapters with errors.
How do I determine what the errors are?
Where is export to pdf?

Problems exporting interactive PDF in CS5.5

When I try to use my old PDF settings from CS4 my interactive elements do not work. See the snapshot below.
I am able to export successfully pressing Command-E and choosing Adobe PDF (Interactive) but the images, at least in the first example I have chosen, do not reproduce properly in the PDF. See comparison of original created in CS4 (left) and the CS5.5 version (right):
Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?
I am using Acrobat X and system 10.6.8

I have found the answer to this problem myself!
Because the interactive setting does not support spot colours being kept it causes problems with any RGB Illustrator files that have been set up using a spot colour. You may well ask why you would want spot colours in an RGB Illustrator file. Well, it's to keep any Lab values intact, but to get around the PDF colour issue you can't have any spots used in this way.

How to export HTML from Indesign CS5

Hi there, I was trying to automaticly export a selection (frame for example) of my indesign active document in CS5 into an HTML file. I did that with CS5.5 and i was able to do :

Noobie Mistake? Export to pdf InDesign Server CS3

Hi,
I'm trying to export my open document on InDesign Server CS3 to pdf, but it isn't working.
I can open, make changes and save, but when it comes to exporting it gives an error:
"An exception occurred when executing a COM method.
The cause of this exception was that: AutomationException: 0x0 - The specified object does not support the desired export format. in 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 Server\InDesignServer.exe'."
Here is my code below. I've tried the export code for pdf with inverted comma's as well, no luck. All the sample scripts do it in this fashion, am I missing something?
Any help much appreciated.
myInDesignServer = CreateObject("COM", "InDesignServer.Application.CS3");
myDocument = myInDesignServer.Open("C:\artwork\my_file.indd");
myDocument.Export(1952403524, "C:\artwork\my_pdf.pdf");
myDocument.close();

Hello Brett,
I have done some COM programming with IndesignServer CS3 using C#, here is is the way I do a pdf export:
doc.Export(idExportFormat.idPDFType, @"C:\indesignTestFile.pdf", false, "[High Quality Print]", "Some Comment", true);
Notice the first argument: the enumeration which specifies the file type and the fourth argument which is the name of an Adobe Pdf Preset. This particular preset should already be installed on your CS3 server. You cant export to a pdf without using an export preset.
I hope this was helpful, Im no expert myself.

Indesign CS5 Crashes on Epub Export

I have used the epub export feature in Indesign CS5 successfully for several books. However I have one title that I have been trying to export for epub. It gets about 2/3 of the way through (as measured by the progress bar) and then Indesign crashes. I am wondering if there is a known issue and (hopefully) a work around. The book exports to PDF just fine.
Thanks for any advice,
Chuck

I have also had a crash on export problem recently. I went through the suggestions in this thread and searched others.
Then I stepped through a few things in my INDD.
Deleted the suspect page. Export worked.
Brought the page back. Export crashed.
Looked at all the text on the page. I had 4 boxes with bulleted text.
I converted the bullets to text and the export went ahead with no problem.
I turned the bulleted list back into a real bulleted list and the export crashed again.
Go figure.

InDesign crashes while exporting to PDF

I have one PDF that after placing in InDesign cannot be exported to PDF
InDesign crashes on Windows and Macintosh, versions from CS3 to CC
Any ideas what can be wrong with my PDF?

I reckon you might find that you have font clashes as your PDF is being created. I had a similar issue a few weeks back where I had created a Brochure, sent it to the client, went through rounds of amends, and the final round of amends prior to print sign off was sent in a word document. When I opened the word doc, I copied and pasted the amends, all looked fine, so I created one last PDF... crash.
I ahve a suspicion that word auto-activated a font that didn't agree with fonts within the InDesign file. I deactivated many fonts, restarted my Mac and hey presto... sorted!
Now, the PDF that you imported into your InDesign file may well be the culprit activating a dodgy font, and this becomes a bit problematical. So, you could open it in Photoshop and save it as a high res image, or you could open it in Illustrator and hopefully all text has remained in place and will enable you to ouline fonts and save it as an illustrator file... BUT, you must advise and get your client to check the contents of the resultant file if you go down either of these routes.

Indesign CS4 crashes when exporting to pdf

Everytime I try to save as/export to pdf, Indesign just crashes. Instead I have to print to the pdf printer, then rename the saved file (untitled.indd.pdf --> untitled.pdf). Does anyone know what the issue might be/how to fix it? Thanks!

Could be a lot of things. Can you export anything to PDF or is it just one document? If you can't export anything try trashing your preferences, and try exporting a new document. If it's just one document make a copy of it, then delete half the pages, try again, and so on to narrow it down to a page or object that is causing the crash.
