In Design won't export PDF

Help, two of us in the office attempt to export PDF to the desktop and get a "Failed to Export the PDF file" error. Also tried saving into the file folder
and it failed as well.

If it one file that will not export for any user suspect a bad graphic.
Try to export half the book.
Try to export the other half.
Repeat with the page range that error-ed, split that range in half.
You will eventually narrow down to the page with a bad graphic.
Re-save the graphic.
ex; 100 page doc.
Export 1-50 and 51-100
51-100 failed
export 51-75 & 76-100

  • Acrobat Pro won't export PDF to TIFF

    My Acrobat X Pro won't export an engineering drawing PDF to a 1200 dpi TIFF. It says this image is too wide, and recommends I crop the image or lower the resolution. I do not wish to do either.  Why does acrobat care how wide my image is? I need it at 1200, and I need it whole and intact.  How do I get my TIFF image?

    Use Photoshop. This is enormously outside the design and intention of Acrobat.

  • Background Task Alert - won't export PDF

    Hello
    I'm working on a booklet and have been able to export PDF versions of it yesterday but for some reason today it will not let me export a PDF anymore as it keeps telling prompting "Background Task Alert Failure." I've spent hours reading and trying all the recommended ways of fixing this and nothing is helping. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, and attempted to disable it somehow. Please help!!!
    Also, I am not tech savvy so please describe what I can do in dummy speak if possible.
    Thank you.

    Totally, Sorry for not including all of that information.

    Do you think it might be because one of the images is a PDF using a different font?

  • InDesign CC Won't Export PDF

    I Have a monthly mailing that I do. Each mont I open the InDesign file and update the imported PDFs, one for each side, and make a PDF. After the 2014 update, neither the new or old InDesign will export a PDF of the file. Just says it failed.
    After some troubleshooting, I discovered that removing the type box in the file fixed the problem. i have lots of files with this issue, so I am looking for ideas on a fix.
    I did a complete re-install do InDesign, but that didn't help.
    I am running OSX 10.9 on a Mac Pro.

    I realize that may be ideal, but I have around 30 of these templates, just for this client, that I do monthly. And each has multiple boxes with bar codes and other VD objects.
    So woos this would mean hours of work. Up until now I have had no issues  Doing this over the years.

  • InDesign won't export pdf

    I'm using InDesign CS5 on OSX 10.8. I've tried to export multiple pdfs from various files and have this problem every now and then (Which happend on both OSX 10.7 and 10.8). The empty pdf file will start as if nothing is wrong and then just disappear after about 10-15 seconds. No error dialog pops up or anything.
    One file in particular is about 50 pages long and when I've exported 1 or 2 select pages, it works fine somehow, just refuses to export the file in its entirety.
    All of my software is up to date. Does anybody have any solutions?

    I had to give in a just try your method, Peter.
    The culprit was Acrobat's "convert to grayscale" function in Preflight. I had several pdfs that I had converted to grayscale this way and InDesign was inable to create a pdf of the pages that had said pdfs on them - literally almost every single one was a problem.
    I have no idea why all of a sudden this is an issue as I've been doing this for a couple of years now and never had an issue until now. At least I got it working again though. Thanks everyone!

  • InDesign CS5 won't export to PDF

    I've been having a problem recently when exporting to PDF in InDesign CS5.  I get an error message which says:
    1 problem was found with a background task:

    It won't export to PDF.  What can I do about this?  Many thanks.

    Oh, sorry.  Forgot about the specifics.

    Hello,
    I have paid for this service for a year and it never worked on my computer.  I just renewed and it finally converted the file but it will not let me edit it.  I join you in being bummed.  Either I get help with this or I am asking for a 2 year refund.   My intention was to be able to edit a pdf in MS Word.

  • InD suddenly won't export to pdf

    I've been exporting files to pdf all day to send to my printer, and suddenly InDesign won't export anymore. Pop ups open as usual, but nothing happens.Grrrrrrr!!

    Are you patched to 7.0.4?
    Is the export hanging in the background, or is a file  supposedly created, but non-exisitent? Have you opened the Background Tasks panel to see if the task is completing?
    Can you export in the foreground by putting the file in a Book?

  • Pdf won't export

    I tried exporting the PDF . It  it worked at some points along the process of making the document, but once I completed the document, it is no longer able to create a PDF. I did a whole lot of searching online and some people say it might have to do with scaled-down images. But as my images are all the same size and I was at various points able to export PDFs of this, I don't think that is the issue.. I am not getting any error warnings either.

    See Adobe Community: File Crashing on Output - printing/PDF/other  for troubleshooting tips.
    Was this file converted from an earlier version by opening the .indd file in a newer version? We see this kind of problem with converted legacy files from time to time, and they happen without warning.

  • Export PDF won't upload, says "unexpected problem" what gives?

    I just purchased the Export PDF and the document I want to upload is 22MB, so size shouldn't be the issues. It comes up as "Failed to Export" -- There was an Unexpected Problem" Please help as this is really pissing me off! Thanks. mm

    Thanks Sarabjit!
    I have found that whether the export works or fails depends on which network I am connected to. The difference between the tested networks have been the firewall rules. Typically company networks vs broadband modems over GPRS/UMTS where the first one fails while the last one succeeds. I would suggest you 1) specify what ports are in use by Export PDF, 2) put this into the requirements for the service, 3) make available support articles with this information and 4) update the error-handling in the program to give the user a more helpful and understandable error message.
    PS! Another suggestion: Why not change the program to use ports that is (in 99%) always open through firewalls?

  • Why won't you let me use export pdf?

    I have a subscription to export pdf and now I can't use it.  Why is that?Adobe ExportPDF (read only)

    Hi fatboy327185,
    I checked your account and don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to log in to ExportPDF. What happens when you try to log in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf?

  • Question:  Why won't Adobe Export PDF convert to Word when requested?

    Adobe Export PDF will not send back Word doc., symbol just spins and says converting and I receive nothing.  I paid for service, it doesn't work.  Why isn't it converting??

    Hi,
    Are you able to see the file under the "Files" tab at https://cloud.acrobat.com?
    If yes, you can download it from here.
    If not, can you please try using a different web browser or Adobe Reader to convert your file? Please let me know if this worked.

  • I just renewed my Adobe Export PDF online and it won't work.  Help!

    I received an email saying that I successfully renewed my subscription for the Adobe Export PDF but when I try to convert a PDF to a Word document it comes back an error.
    Please help.

    Hi wheelingandable,
    It can a little while for an order to process fully. If it's been a while since you renewed your subscription, then make sure that you're signed in to the ExportPDF service. What happens when you log in directly to cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf?
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • File won't upload to Export PDF

    I purchased Export PDF and none of my documents will load from my computer to be converted.  I just get the big blue spinner of death.

    How do you initiate ExportPDF - from Adobe Reader, or directly on the https://exportpdf.acrobat.com/ website?
