Indesign CC - Back & Front spread, followed by 2-3, etc then create print ready PDF

Hi folks,
First up thanks for reading. I have a simple question:
My page layout is as per the following screenshot:
Yes, I know page 8,1 at the front is off centre. I made 8 a new section so I could put it next to 1 and create a cover spread. But the bloody thing won't line up like the others. Not to worry, I can work with that. And the 2-3, 4-5. 6-7 spreads are just what I want. I can create spreads with graphics that go over both pages, exactly how my customers should read it when they pick up the booklet.
The problem comes when I go to create PDFs for printing.
What I want the PDF to look like is spreads thus:
8-1
2-7
6-3
4-5
This is because this is how the printer wants them.
Now, I'm not going anywhere near the "Print Booklet" to PDF functionality because it ruins the quality of my output.
Please help, I've been Googling this for hours as well as You tubing. All to no avail.
I'm still reasonably new to all this.

Your page order should be first page to last page in the correct order.
You do not need to make the pages as
8|1
2|7
6|3
4|5
Printing from Print Booklet loses a lot of information from the pdf compared to Exporting to PDF.
Supply a PDF with
Pages in correct order as single pages.
Crop Marks
Bleed
And when completing the section on Marks and Bleed - change the "Offset" to the same amount as the Bleed.
This ensures your crop marks do not encroach in the bleed area.

Problem with saving InDesign newsletter to a print ready PDF in CS6

I am using a PC and created a 4 page newsletter in InDesign, CS6. I have made this newsletter over and over in previous version of CS products and never had a problem. But with CS6, I cannot get it to save as a print-ready PDF with the bleeds and markups the printer needs.
I have the Document Setup set to a bleed of 0.25 all around. I have tried Printing to PDF, Exporting, and Print Booklet. Printing to PDF doesn't show the bleeds and markups. Exporting doesn't show the bleeds and markups. Print Booklet only shows the bleeds and markups if I shrink the file down with a Scale to Fit...which won't work for the printer. I have tried everything thing I can think of, tried changing all kinds of printer settings...I seriously have no idea why this isn't working.
Any suggestions?

Well, the obvious thing is to make sure you've got "Use Document Bleed Settings" checked in the export dialog AND that you've got trim marks turned on. YOu should save a custom preset to do this along with the other settings your printer requires.

InDesign Book Project...some images/graphics not appearing in print-ready PDF

Some images/graphics not appearing in print-ready PDF. Why? and how to fix.
The images are linked.

That didn't work, but i copied images from other parts of my document that did work and pasted/resized to replace images that didn't import and that seemed to work.
still wish i could figure out why it happens in the first place so i don't have to do this other process.

But did you repair Acrobat? The Adobe PDF printer is a function of Acrobat, not Adobe Reader. Uninstalling/reinstalling Acrobat does essentially the same thing as a repair, but takes a bit longer.

How do I create an accessible PDF for Thesaurus with many chapters, from InDesign CS 5.5 and Acrobat

Hi folks,
I have redesigned a Thesaurus (controlled vocabulary for an Agency's archives) in InDesign CS 5.5. I am now preparing an accessible PDF from the many files (using a Book created in InDesign). The front cover, front matter and back cover are not part of the Book, to keep the page numbering simple.
The Book includes two main sections, an Alphabetical display and a Hierarchical display of terms and their relations. I created chapters per alphabet listings, i.e. Alphabetical Display A, B, C, etc. So there are over 50 chapters, including cover, front matter, etc.
I've successfully made the front cover and front matter PDFs after viewing videos here: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/accessibility-adobe/preparing-indesign-files-for-accessibility/ and downloading and using this recommended Action for Acrobat: InDesign CS5_5 Accessibility Touchup.sequ
Several questions specific to this project don't seem to be addressed in the videos, however.
First, I'd like to know if I can create an accessible PDF using the Book function > Export Book to PDF. Or do I need to make a PDF per chapter? The book has over 50 chapters (by alphabet, twice), so creating them one by one will take a lot more time, but I'll do it if that's the best practice.
After creating the PDFs, if I use (in Acrobat): Create > Combine Files into PDF to make one full PDF (over 600 pages BTW), will the final PDF retain accessibility settings? Do I need to run the Accessibility Report again for the combined PDF?
I used InTools.com Power Headers plugin to add a page header that automatically shows the new first term used per page. So, one chapter (with Chapter Title as H1) will have a different page header (which will be H2) per page, however the text flows through the whole chapter. I don't see where to add the page headers to the Article Window in InDesign. Do I add in this order: H1, H2, text (for whole chapter), H2, H2, H2, etc. Will I need to work on the PDF in Acrobat, where pages will be shown, in order to get the correct H2 with the correct text on the page? Am I missing something?
Will I have any issues with Bookmarks that requires a specific workflow?
I think that's about it, though I might run into more questions as I progress through the project.
Thanks, Marilyn

I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly. In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location.
But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line. No one is looking at the page. A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice. It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word.
I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want. I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have.
I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way.
Give it a try and best of luck.

How to create multiple editable PDFs from data merged Indesign file

Hi
This is quite complicated but I'm hoping someone can help me and hoping I can explain it too!
I am working on a project for a client. She wants to send 150 people a 6 page PDF with fields to complete and return to her.
She has an Excel spreadsheet with some of the fields completed already so these will be Data Merged into InDesign CS6.
The short version of the question goes like this:
Can you automate the process so that once all the data is in the InDesign file, it can then create a PDF every 6 pages all in one go?
For those still interested, the long version of the question goes like this:
I have created 3 pages in InDesign with fields to complete and used the 'Data Merge' facility to add the Excel info.
I have created 3 more pages with blank fields to fill in.
Then I have made all fields editable using the 'Buttons and Forms' facility in the Interactive menu.
Then I have created an interactive PDF. Then I have opened that PDF in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and saved it as 'Reader Extended PDF' and 'Enable Additional Features'
I now have an Editable PDF with half the fields filled in and half blank to be filled in and this can be saved and returned.
Now, this would be great if it was only one or two. But I need to create 150 different versions and this is just for the Pilot study. If all goes well, this will go to 5,000 people and I can't be creating 5,000 seperate PDFS!!
At this stage, I am just focussing on the 150. So again, going back to the original question, is there a script that could be written either to break up the 1st PDF every 6 pages into 150 different PDFS? Is there even a way of extending that script to Save as Reader Extended etc? Is there a simple idea that I'm missing? Are there any ways to do this? I can use 'Created Merged Documents' to make 150 x 6 pages in Indesign so can anything be done from there?
Any advice greatly appreciated
Thanks

InDesign printing to PDF results in white "highlight" effect behind PLAIN black text.

InDesign printing to PDF booklet spreads results in white "highlight" effect behind PLAIN black text. There are no text effects like drop shadows or transparency. Some of the text is in it's own shape above a semi-transparent shape, but not all.
Exporting to PDF does not cause this problem, just printing to pdf. I cannot use the exported pdf as I need the full booklet spreads. Help!

In addition to vinny38's advise to not print to PDF, you may not even need printer's spreads, unless you are printing this yourself. If you are sending this off press, the prepress team will want to do the imposition themselves. If you are printing to a network copier, some have the ability to do booklet printing from a multi-page PDF saved in single-page reader's spreads (one page for each page of the document, rather than two document pages for each PDF page).
If you do need to print this yourself and if you have to impose it in InDesign, consider making a new document and placing the pages of your original document onto the pages of the new document, the way you would place any other images. You can decide where the pages have to go in order to get printer's spreads, and when you're done imposing, export as a PDF and print that PDF to your printer. You will get a better-quality PDF than printing to PDF.

Trouble printing Photoshop PDFs in InDesign

Hi, I'm using some Photoshop PDFs placed in InDesign. I can export to PDF just fine, but if I print to PDF the image drops out (just becomes a black square). Any ideas on this? I need to print to PDF to follow my printer's instructions (unfortunately). Though it's also black if I print to the Adobe PDF printer (rather than my printer's supplied virtual printer). I could switch the file to a TIF, but I hate to rasterize it. Should I try backsaving to an earlier version of Photoshop (if that's even possible)?
I'm using InDesign CS4 and Photoshop CS4. I think it's the first time I've tried PDFs from Photoshop CS4 (last magazine issue I had upgraded to InDesign CS4 but was still using Photoshop CS3).
I'm on Windows Vista.
Thanks, Phyllis

No, OPI is off, though that was a good guess!
Any other ideas?
I'm trying to find a way to downsave to Photoshop CS3 but don't see it. Do you happen to know if that's an option? (I realize this isn't a Photoshop forum but hate to split up the question.)
Thanks, Phyllis

How Can I disable page scrolling when creating an interactive PDF using InDesign?

I'm attempting to create an interactive PDF portfolio with links from the homepage to gallery pages and projects etc, but it seems useless if I can't stop the PDF pages from scrolling? Can anyone help?
I have InDesign CS5.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

scrolling through the pages
There is nothing you can do to prevent a viewer from navigating on their own through a PDF. One method would be to have the PDF open in Full Screen mode, this hides the navigation tab. But a viewer can use their arrow keys to go page to page, ignoring the links within the PDF. And the viewer can hit the esc key to go back to normal view. Another option would be to use a swf export, indstead of pdf, but seriously depends on how you plan to distribute this portfolio.

InDesign Will Not Print to PDF

Good morning;
I am currently running InDesign CS5.5 on Windows 7.
I have a 103 page document which will only print to page 41 when I choose "Print to PDF".
It does not export any pages, when I choose "Export" and select pdf, or when I choose a "PDF Preset".
All 103 pages print to paper fine.
The document was working fine earlier this week. I could print everything to pdf.LiveFlight reports no errors
I opened an earlier version of the file, and it also could not print to pdf past page 41.Once again, there were no errors
I've tried restarting the computer, shutting down, etc
I was able to successfuly print the following to pdf:
a 45 page blank document
A 49 page document with images on each page.
I deleted page 42, and it was able to go two pages past. This is the log generated after the operation is complete (and unsuccessful):

Are you sure it’s been fully generated? PDF export is a background process.
To be sure, select view PDF after exporting in the export dialog box.

The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7).
copied from "about backups"http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If you don't have, you'll have to start all over again. Apps can be downloaded again for free, but any data like game settings or similar will not be included, these are part of the backup.
