InDesign crashes when i export a pdf, overprint preview and package

I am using CS6 on a MacBook Pro. I have version 10.8.5.
I am working on a manual (original file not created by me).
I was trying to pacakge all the files together but it kept crashing. I do not see the blank window some people have been seeing when this happens. I only get the window about letting Apple know about the problem and submitting the problem to Adobe.
Under Preflight all systems are fine, I have the green light.
I checked that paragraph styles, character styles and master pages did not have fonts missing.
I went through all files and noticed some eps's did not have fonts converted to outlines so I made them outlines and relinked them.
I also changed all RGB to CMYK.
I converted the file to an IDML, reopened InDesign. I also resaved the file to a different name.
These did not seem to help unfortunately.
If there is no visible problem, what can one do? At this point I am trying to pdf one page at a time to see if I can pinpoint as to where the issues lies.
InDesign also crashes when exporting a .pdf and when I try to run an overprint preview. So strange..

Well I don't get why this would have been the problem, but I removed the logo that was on the cover and on the back. Since the logo was all vector, I copied it and pasted it into InDesign (so no links). This allowed me to create a .pdf and to package. This logo has been used several times over and over so not sure why this was part of the issue..

Thank you Peter. Someone else must have been on my computer because I do not change the settings. You pointed me in the right direction.
Thanks again.

SUDDENLY ID CS5 crashes when I export to PDF...

SUDDENLY ID CS5 crashes when I export to PDF...anybody have this experience plus a solution?

Have you checked the background tasks panel to see if the export is hung? This is a known issue for which Adobe is working on a fix. THere's a lengthy tread about it here with some possible workarounds.

InDesign CS3 crashes when I export a PDF. I have updated it to 5.0.4 but it still crashed. I bought it as part of the Design Premium pack. How do I uninstall InDesignCS3 and reinstall the original software?

Hi, the title says it all
I've been trying to find out on the Adobe site how to uninstall CS3 Design Premium and then reinstall the original software in the hope that this will eliminate the crashing problem, which only started yesterday.
You're help will be very much appreciated.

Run the cleaner tool and reinstall.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Just be aware that none of this will matter if you are using a newer version of e.g. Acrobat that by ways of updates may introduce/ have introduced an incompatible version of one of the PDF libraries commonly shared and used by all Adobe programs. you have to tread lightly and be careful...

Long files hierarchy causes autocad to crash when printing to a pdf.

Tylerdowner,
Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash. No change. The only thing that seems to consistently resolve the problem is disabling the Flash plugin.
I tried creating a new profile, but when I transfer the data suggested in this:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
I get an error window when opening firefox with the new profile ...something about security settings not working correctly...but I can print every time even though the Flash plugin appears to be installed and enabled. So I assume there is some kind of problem with my current profile. Any suggestions on how to find and correct it or a way to get most of my data into a new profile...that works...would be appreciated.

Indesign crashes when exporting to pdf with .eps and .ai files placed

Hi everyone,
I have an Indesign file with 4 placed Illustrator .eps file placed. Whenever I try to export to pdf, it starts to export and then when it reaches a page with a .eps file on it, it hovers for a minute and then Indesign crashes. I decided to save these 4 .eps files as .ai files and replace them. Now when I export to pdf, it gets through the export and a pdf file is created but immediately after, Indesign crashes.
Is this a sign of corrupt .eps or .ai files or a corrupt Indesign file? All I know is that if I remove all the image files, then the ID file is fine, ie. it exports and ID doesn't crash.
Is there a way to test either .eps, .ai or Indesign files for corruption, and if they are corrupt is it possible to repair them?
Appreciate any help offered.

You haven't said which version of Indesign you are using or other specs, but I would bet that you are using CS2 on an Intel Mac. CS2 runs under Rosetta on an Intel Mac, and I have found that memory problems are often the result of crashes like the ones you have described. My advice is to stay away from EPS files and use AI or PSD, especially if the file is a bitmap or photo. This has eliminated all the crashes that used to occur on my system. As far as the crashes after making PDF files, I don't have a solution other than restarting Indesign after exporting a PDF file or two at a time. The same Rosetta memory problem seems to mess it up for me. Mine would just exit from Indesign with no warning. Hope this helps.

InDesign Crashing When Exporting a Large Book

I have a large InDesign book (159 documents) that recently started crashing when I export the whole thing. The book was created years ago, and I can't figure out what would cause this issue all of a sudden. Originally, I thought this was due to the linked cross references I recently added, since it's the only thing that's changed about the book. But I removed all cross references, and I'm still having the same issue. I can export the first half of the book, the second half of the book, or even 3/4 of the book successfully. It's just when I try to export the whole thing that InDesign crashes.
I'm using the latest version of InDesign CS 5.5 on OS X 10.8.2.
I have another discussion posted about this (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5132896), but decided to start a new thread since the other one was focused on the cross references. Toward the end of that discussion, people started suggesting that this was just an issue with my computer--that I don't have enough free space, etc. But I had my company's IT guy watch Activity Monitor while I tried to export the book, and he assured me that my computer is completely capable of completing this export. This makes sense to me since I've always been able to export the book using this computer, and the book hasn't gotten significantly larger or more complex.
One workaround we found was to export the book as an interactive PDF instead of a print PDF. However, I've been battling bolder text on pages with transparency for years, and exporting as an interactive PDF seems to make this issue much worse. (For more info on this issue, see the following thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/421267.)
Is there anyone smarter than me that has a guess as to why I'd be able to export the book as an interactive PDF, but not as a print PDF? I'm hoping this new info will help in troubleshooting the crashing.

Eureka! I re-created the book from scratch, and I can export just fine now. The book file must have been corrupt.
This has been sitting at the bottom of my list of things to try the whole time, but I never thought it would be the solution. Hopefully if anyone else has this issue, they will stumble upon this and try this first instead of last!

How can I make hyperlinks work in InCopy when I export to PDF without using InDesign?

I created an InCopy document with hyperlinks linking to other InCopy documents. When I exported to PDF, these hyperlinks don't work. Is there any way I can make these hyperlinks work without using InDesign? Thanks.

If it's for the web, why not export to JPEG? Why PDF?
Terrible idea. In a JPG the text will not be alive, you loose all interactivity.
And making JPGs with InDesign is not what the program is meant to make.

InDesign Crashes when exporting to InCopy

I support several hundred InDesign/ InCopy users. We have been using this workflow for several years.
Approximately a month ago, we migrated to CS5 (7.0.3). I began to immediately get support calls that InDesign and InCopy were crashing. A few of the calls were that InCopy was crashing when pasting text from MS Office, but he overwhelming majority of the calls are for InDesign crashing when exporting stories to InCopy. If exported one at a time, the stories export fine. When exporting all stories or an entire text layer of stories, it will crash nearly without fail.
Our environment consists of Mac Pro 2x2.66Ghz and 2.8Ghz Intel Core Duo 2 iMacs running 10.5.8. with CS5 7.0.3. This is happening on multiple machines. A few of them have been gone over to verify base OS integrity, permissions repaired, DiskWarrior run etc… to make sure we did not have individual machine issues.
I need resolution for both issues, but the crashing while exporting is so prevalent that my graphic designers are starting to really get aggravated.
I searched the forum for "InCopy", for "export" and for "crash." None of those terms returned a single hit. I can't imagine those terms are not in this forum, so I am working on the assumption that searching must be broken at the moment.
Thanks in advance for any guidance,
Kevin

Try posting on the InCopy forum. There was another similar report there...
Did you fill out a bug report?
