Indesign CS 5 damages the pdf font, header, images...!

i am using adobe indesign CS5, the problem is that when i import pdf file (created from word 2010 with the ext. ".DOCX) into indesign, it damages the header and footer plus the headings font named "Adobe GARAmond pro bold".

What do you mean by "damages"?
How did you make the PDF from Word?
Why can't you just import the .docx file?

How to break the PDF file into images?

How to break the PDF file into images? There should be settings in Photoshop CS 6 that imports PDF file and break it into images. I have a short instruction:
2.    Open the file in Photoshop.
3.    A new window should open to Import PDF. Click on images, not pages import pdf into Photoshop.doc
4.    Select all the files shown (shift + click), Click O.K. Four files should open on your screen.
Was anybody successful with that?

Whether this is available solely depends on the structure of the PDF and whether it actually contains whole images that can be extracted separately. Depending on whatgoing on in the PDF this may simply not be the case and the images have been tiled and split up in multiple "objects" whose appearance can only be retained by rasrerizing the whole page...

Acrobat error message: The PDF document contained image masks that were not downsampled.

I'm .pfing a document from InDesign CS2, and even after I use Acrobat 8 to try to reduce the file size, the file is still about 12 mb. I 'm getting the error listed above, and wondering if that has anything to do with it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Content streams are pages, type 3 fonts, comments (annotations), form fields and XObjects.
If you're really concerned about the file size, one trick (although not recommended since it can cause other issues such as fonts busting out, colour transformations etc) would be to open the PDF and then PRINT to the Adobe PDF printer using say STANDARD or SMALLEST FILE SIZE ... this re-fry might will remove/re-create the content streams and reduce the overall size.
Cheers,

The pdf font quality changes if another pdf file is open, for pdfs generated by Latex Beamer

Hi There,
I create pdf presentation files using Latex Beamer. I see a strange behavior when I open the file with Adobe reader to read it. If another pdf file is already open, the quality of the font is good but the shadow of the boxes disappears. If no other pdf file is open, the shadow box is good but the font has a low quality.
Does anyone know about this problem?
Thanks
Kaveh

Kaveh,
I am having a similar issue with PDFs i create from Photoshop and added links in Acrobat. The quality of the text was changing on me and I hadnt realized it was when I had more than one PDF open.
Please let em know if you come to any resolution on this.
Thanks,
Jamie

I get the message "cannot open file..InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in may be missing or file may be open in another application. This is a pdf file created by InDesign

How do I get the plug-in needed. I have updated InDesign, Acrobat and all other software but didn't help.

InDesign cannot open a PDF natively. You can Place pages from the PDF as linked images, or you can purchase a commercial plugin from Recosoft or Markzware that will convert PDF to InDesign.

The PDF file has illegal entries in bfchar block in ToUnicode CMap (03042008)

While creating the pdf document in Adode indesign CS3 i get the pdf file has as a illegal entries in bfchar block in ToUnicode CMap
Tell me Why this pdf has a illegal entries
How to resolve this problem

I assume you mean a CID font, not a CMAP font – since there isn't such a type of font.
To your issue, you need to decode the string first as a series of single byte characters and then as double byte. This is true for all strings in PDF.

10.6.8 combo & 10.6.7 pdf fonts problem

Does the 10.6.8 update combo correct the pdf fonts problem that was inherent to 10.6.7? After a couple days of stress I had to do the lengthy 10.6.7 uninstall process in order to refine my doctoral dissertation. This has made me gun-shy & fearful of updates. Is it safe to update now?

The combo should fix your problem. As always have a back-up in case you have to revert.
The Font update came out to fix the problem in 10.6.7

Pdf fonts problem in 10.6.7 - resolved in 10.6.8 combo update?

The pdf fonts problem in 10.6.7 forced me to go through the long uninstall process after a couple days stressing over what the problem was -- it was Adobe tech support that finally informed me what the problem was. Is the problem fixed in the 10.6.8 combo update? Since I got no replies when I asked this question a different way yesterday, can anyone say (for helpful answer points) whether Apple would be inclined to answer this question if I just call them up (i.e., without existing AppleCare)? Any other suggestions for getting official support on this question? As it stands, I fear updating at all, and could be stuck with 10.6.6 for a long time.

Create a PDF contact sheet - What is the PDF preset?

Hello
When I create contact sheet, it creats a pdf but I don't understand what is the pdf preset.
Is it for screen? print? where can I see or change it if at all?
thanks

You're practically answering your own question, Shlomit. Those are InDesign "presets", unrelated to Bridge.
In Bridge you can create Page Presets and define the "Quality" (Bridge nomenclature) of the PDF. See images below.
Additionally you can further edit and resave any PDF in Acrobat.
It's always a good idea to read the documentation, consult the Help files and explore the application.

Encoding Fonts from InDesign to UTF-8 for PDF SEO

I have the topic that I export documents out of InDesign CS3 into a PDF file. Does anybody know how to adjust the font encoding to UTF-8.
Now I always get the ANSI coding in each PDF. The result is that the PDFs can't be accessed and indexed by the search engine spiders.
Who is able to help me?
Thanks ahead.
Thomas

How do you find the UTF encoding?
I took an inDesign-created PDF and saved as PDFXML. When I unzipped it, the container file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<container version="1.0" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:container">
<relationships xmlns:pdf="http://ns.adobe.com/pdf/2006">
<relationship type="metadata" target="$path.xmp"/>
<relationship type="pdf:annotation" target="$path.ann"/>
</relationships>
</container>
Then I resaved the file as PDF and it grew from 4.1 to 4.3 MB. I've no idea if saving as xml changed the encoding, but I'd be curious to find out.

Indesign to PDF - Font showing up as small boxes

I am exporting an Indesign Document to PDF. The font in parts of the document are showing up as small boxes, and are not translating to you PDF version correctly when viewed in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
The document is too large to outline all they text, I am at 36 pages if heavy content (with bullet points that are not outlined correctly). I did not have is issue until I moved over to my new iMAC. I am wondering if there is just a simple setting I am missing.
Please let know if you have any solutions to correcting this font translation from InDesign to a PDF
The font i use is Helvetica Neue and has downloaded an my computer successfully
I have tried:
Outlining text- too time consuming and does not handle the bullet points correctly
Updating Adobe Acrobat
Embedding Fonts 100%
Compressing the Files
Changing the setting to "PDF/X-4:2008" when exporting
Saving as PDF/X from Acrobat Pro
I am currently stumped and need a solution as soon as possible.
Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Aandi,
Thanks for your quick response.
I have a program that is creating the information dictionary for the PDF file and assigns the information. I've checked the value of the Title, Subject, and Author fields just before being written out and they appear correctly in the program, but for some reason when they are assigned they only appear as question marks in the PDF Tab of the Properties window.
I wonder if this could be because I don't have Helvetica font, and the substituted font doesn't support double-byte characters?
I just tried to directly assign the values and they do appear correctly.

Sharing Indesign on CC show low-resolution images and not the right font in preview

Dear Adobe,
I really want to make use of CC Files and the sharing ability with my clients. I have shared an Indesign file, whereas all the links in that indesign file are on CC Files too. The font is a regular Futura Std. But both the links in the files (background and logo) and the font used are not showing up correctly. I deleted the file and uploaded it again, but it is still showing a bad preview. This is not something I can share with my clients.
Am I doing something wrong? It appears that another Illustrator file is showing its preview in low-resolution and after 2 seconden it renders it at a higher resolution.
Regards,
Daniel

Fonts may not and links will not show up correctly in the image preview on the Files page. The preview being created on the server is not able to access the links, and only the default fonts are available.
You can export a PDF and share this with your clients (and you can always include a link to the InDesign files if the clients need to download them).

How can I change the interactive PDF font?

I'm making a interactive PDF in inDesign (CS6). Problem is, when I export the file in to a interactive PDF, everything looks good except when I want to type in the text field (interactive) the font is in Times New Roman. I want another font. So my question is, how can I change the (interactive) font? I tried a lot of things, but I can't find the solution.

@Renzo – in Acrobat Pro you have an option to format the form fields.
Under the tab "Appearance" there is "Text" with "Font Size:", "Font:" and "Text Color:".

Strange-shaped fonts and unreadable characters in the PDF file

Hello,
A colleague of mine printed out a PDF file that I generated. Some of the fonts in the printed PDF file appear out-of-shape (slightly squiggly but still readable). These fonts are in plain body text and some of the heading styles. In addition, unreadable characters appear for fonts in the PDF where a keyboard input character format was specified in the source (in Framemaker a different character format can be specified for individual words within a paragraph format).
He printed this PDF file a total of eight times. For the first five times there were no issues, but in the last three times the problems occured.
He printed the files from the same printer and some of the printing was with the PCL profile, while others were with the PS profile.
My colleague viewed the files using Adobe Reader 8 running on Windows XP.
My PC is also Windows XP. The document source is FrameMaker 7.2. When generating the file, I used Acrobat Distiller 8.0. It is compatible with Acrobat 5.0 (PDF 1.0). The Acrobat Reader I have on my PC is Acrobat 8.0.
Thanks,
Ken

I'm using acrobat 8.1.0 and I believe I have the same problem as Ken.
However, I have a question. If the fonts simply weren't installed, wouldn't they also appear as weird characters when looking at a soft copy in acrobat? Why would the problem only occur when printing?
