InDesign CS - Type is missing in exported PDF?

Hi, I am using InDesign CS. When I save my file as a .pdf and view and print it the type is missing. I am just using the default pdf export settings.
To save the .pdf here's what I did.
1. I have an open InDesign project and I select (PDF Export Presets > Print)
2. I then save the file as a .pdf and then I select the "Export" button.
Then when I open and view my .pdf file the type is missing. What am I doing wrong?

Have printed it from Illustrator and it prints fine.
I doubt that this is the problem, but: are you printing from Preview? Do you have Acrobat installed? Can you print from Acrobat? Do you have the same issues there?
Preview does a surprisingly good job on PDFs, given how lightweight it is, but if it fails to display or print something, the first thing I try is Acrobat.

  • Indesign CS3 text frame parameters and export PDF

    could use some help with the following:
    I need to edit and export a large number (7000) Indesign documents (one page)
    1. check for locked text frames and unlock
    2. group all text frames
    3. set grouped text frames at x=8 millimeters, y 10 milimeters
    4. export the documents to PDF in a subfolder called "Out"
    5. save and close the documents in the same subfolder as an Indesign CS3 document (orig is CS2)
    This is what I've been trying soo far:
    Now only checking one text frame - should be all text frames
    "close document 1 saving yes" doesn't work because the originals are from CS2
    I get a PDF called "Adobe Indesign SC3"
    set processFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder that contains Innd Docs to process"
    tell application "Finder"
    if not (exists folder "OUT" of processFolder) then
    make new folder at processFolder with properties {name:"OUT"}
    end if
    set the destination_folder to folder "OUT" of processFolder as alias
    end tell
    tell application "Finder"
    try
    set listFiles to (files of contents of processFolder) as alias list
    on error
    set listFiles to (files of contents of processFolder) as alias as list

    end tell
    export document 1 format PDF type to (destination_folder as string) & docName & ".pdf" using PDF export preset "[Drukwerkkwaliteit]" without showing options
    close document 1 saving yes
    tell application "Finder" to move thisFile to destination_folder with replacing
    end timeout
    end tell
    end repeat
    end tell
    end
    end
    Any help is greatly appreciated - Doing this manually is a lot of work!!!!!
    Peter

    You're asking for the name of the application, not the document -- you need<br />to do it after your "tell myDoc".<br /><br />You could also get the name from the alias you open, rather than the open<br />document, something like:<br /><br />repeat with thisFile in listFiles<br />set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters<br />set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"}<br />set docName to text item -1 of (thisFile as Unicode text)<br />set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims<br /><br />You should also move your "set properties of view preferences" line to after<br />your "tell myDoc".<br /><br />-- <br />Shane Stanley <[email protected]>

  • Can't print in indesign (icc's) and can't export pdf for PS - booklet workflow?

    I have a book of artwork i've laid out in indesign and am trying to print before binding it. All attempted workflows have been thwarted so far - any help is truly appreciated.
    a) printing with a canon pro9000 mark II:
    Not possible. I've read into it, done plenty of tests and nothing comes close to a print of the same image from photoshop.
    My problems - i can't disable canons color management when having indesign manage colors. The canon presests never grey out (as they do in ps) out and always (seemingly) apply their own icc profile in addition.
    Possible solution (which comes close to but doesn't match my ps prints):
    Disable indd's color management in edit>color_settings (emulate..off) (printer profile in indd's print settings becomes empty and unavailable) and have canon manage color under printer>color_matching>color_sync>my paper's profile.
    This solution is not ideal so i want to export a booklet for ps instead. Here thwarting nr.2:
    b) osx Lion - can't export indesign document booklet as a pdf.
    I've read other posts on this and there are workarounds through postscript but then i'd have to convert everything to cmyk if i understood this right. Not good.
    Is there any way to print my book in indesign or get it into photoshop as a booklet? Ideally with the text still intact rather than flattened into an image?
    I know there might not be answers to the specific issues above but i was hoping anybody could if not help me then suggest an alternative workflow. All i want to do is print my book reliably with icc profiles. Is this really not possible?
    Thank you so much and all help is truely appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Danny
    (i had a former post with a. as a topic which i will delete to avoid redundancy. Also - please forgive if this has been discussed before and point me in the right direction. Last not least i have read most threads on the topic so while a former topic might have dealt with my problems it's solution - by my understanding - didn't work for me. Example: postscript for pdf because of cmyk. At the same time i fully acknowledge i might just have not fully understood the solution. Thanks!)

    I can't help with your color proplem -- don't know the printer -- but you can use a script to impose your booklet in a new file, then export that to PDF.
    The two I use are by Dave Saunders. The first, http://pdsassoc.com/downloads/Buildbooklet.zip merely shuffles the pages in a new file. You then export that as spreads. It's very fast and easy, but cannot handle objects that cross the spine.
    The second is at Dave's CS3 Booklet Script and works by placing pages into a new spread-size document. This one does do cross-spine objects, but neither one handles creep. It's been awhile since I used either, but I think bleeds may be an issue for the second script, too.
    There are also imposing plugins for Acrobat...

  • Image missing in exported pdf

    Please help! I've just installed the Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium on my Mac Pro, running OSX 10.6.4. When exporting from InDesign, the background image disappears. It shows up when I open the document in Acrobat 9 here, but the client is not receiving it. Help, please and thank you.

    What application and version of that application is having the issue?
    I guessing that they are not opening it in either Acrobat nor Adobe Reader but possibly a third party application (like Mac Preview)?
    (I believe the "choose file" preview in OS X uses Mac Preview, hence the issue)

  • PDF/A-1b compliant PDF from InDesign exported PDF

    Hi folks.  I need to produce a pdf/a-1b compliant pdf from an InDesign document and it is giving me fits.  Because InDesign offers no native option to export pdf/a-1b compliant files, I have been exporting my document with the available presets (I've tried all of them), then running the pdf/a-1b conversion in Acrobat.  However, this conversion fails every time, usually on font subset and colour issues depending on how I set up the initial export from InDesign.  The only way I have managed to get a file to pass the conversion is to export from InDesign, save that pdf as images, rebuild the original pdf from the image files, then run the pdf/a-1b preflight from Acrobat.  Trouble is that this results in a serious loss of resolution that I can't have for my purposes.  Anyone have any ideas on how I can produce a pdf from InDesign that will pass the pdf/a-1b preflight in Acrobat?

    You have to do it in Acrobat Pro after PDF export.

  • IDCS6/IDCC MACOSX 10.6 and up: Inability to create tagged PDF during "Export PDF" in Data Merge

    I have a rather odd question concerning an obscure feature of InDesign but have to ask it concerning a somewhat over-engineered solution to an ongoing problem. I will try to give an abridged version but forgive me if I ramble...
    I have a solution that splits a large PDF based on bookmarks in the document. The InDesign file doesn't use bookmarks itself; but has paragraph styles that have been tagged using the expert tagging feature of the paragraph style. Once in Acrobat, I am able to make new bookmarks from structure and voila... bookmarks that were based on tags.
    For this solution to work, a checkbox in the General window of the export PDF dialog box called "Create Tagged PDF" needs to be checked
    This checkbox is normally available when exporting PDFs from InDesign. However, when attempting to export PDF from the Data Merge panel, the dialog changes.
    The parts highlighted in green I expect to change; but the red change is unexpected and for my purposes, fouls up what I'm trying to do.
    I should stress that if the data merge file is merged to one large new InDesign file, then this problem doesn't happen. However, the amount of data that I'm dealing with (tens of thousands of records) would take too much time and be double-handling.
    Is this greying out of the checkbox a glitch;  is it intentional; or am I missing something?
    Concerning alternative ways of making bookmarks from a data merged PDF:
    I have tried using manual bookmarks applied to form fields and only the actual words that were made as a bookmark appear in the PDF;
    Merging to a new InDesign file is not an option given the record lengths that I work with (from 10,000 - 100,000)
    Acrobat does have a way of automatically tagging an untagged document; however the results have been less than desirable so far.
    There are a few third party applications for Acrobat that allow dynamic bookmarks based on type in certain positions, but many of these applications are Windows based. Mac compatible PDF-SAM looks promising but have had no testimonials on whether or not tasks like mine are possible.
    Colin

    Can also confirm that too Uwe. I thought those particular issues may just have to do with using the default [High Quality Print] setting... but no, Create Acrobat Layers and Include Hyperlinks can't be done regardless of how sophisticated the options within the export Adobe PDF dialog box (during data merge) is.
    I know this is a user-to-user forum but from time to time I see Dov Isaacs on here and was hoping he may have some insight. Even if the answer still remains that it can't be done, at least I can then consider more alternatives for this uncanny and frustrating procedure.

  • InDesign exported pdf viewed in Adobe Reader & Acrobat + Transparency

    Hi.
    In InDesign I have a tiff image with a blue color background. This image is on top of a colored rectangle with the same blue. I have matched the color settings so it does infact match & prints out well from InDesign. I also have a couple feathered images in InDesign as well.
    I made the destination color under the export pdf Output section match the color working space.
    As I said..everything prints well from InDesign.
    I make a .pdf & open it in Reader, which also looks fine on screen, but when printed, I get these glowing edges around both the tiff image & feathered images. Is there a way to change the color settings in Reader? Or am I totally missing something else? Transparency spaces??
    In Acrobat, only the vector images look a little jagged on screen, but prints fine. Is there a reason for this also?
    Thank you.

    Peter, my apologies for not getting back to you sooner than this, I've been away from my Mac since I posted this.
    Thank you for your very kind offer to look at the files for me. In between time a friend has been over and apparently altered some settings on my iMac and the problem seems to have been resolved. (I hope!)
    Thanks again - I daresay I'll be back with more questions before long...

  • Missing Logo in PDF export

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with an InDesign document when writing PDFs of it:
    When exporting a PDF with the built-in export option sometimes a logo (eps) is missing in the PDF output - here some more info:
    - the document is now CS 4/Mac, but it was edited in CS 4/Win before and originally it was built in CS 3/Mac
    - the logo eps is correctly connected - InDesign never showed a missing link, the eps' colors are the colors of the pdf output (CMYK)
    - the logo eps is working perfectly in other documents and even on an other page of the same document
    - the problematic logo is placed on a master/template page in this document - when creating new pages using this master page they seem to have the same problem
    - when exporting the PDF via .ps and Distiller it seems to work without problems
    - in some exported pdf the logo is visible in some it's missing
    Anybody ideas? Solutions? My feeling is, that the document might be somehow corrupted. Is there a way to check the integrity of InDesign documents or is there a (software) solution to repair such documents?
    Many thanks in advance
    Daisy

    Many thanks, unfortunately none of these ideas helped - i tried:
    - export to INX and to IDML and reimport in InDesign 4
    - placing the Logo as .ai
    - duplicating the master page and using this template
    ... without having the problem solved.
    Then I removed all other elements on this page - and then surprisingly the logo now seems to work. What I removed from the page were some Indesign vector elements (an other Logo which had been placed via pasteboard from Illustrator and which did not seem to have any problems so far). Can this be the reason? Are there known problems with vector elements imported via pasteboard (maybe in combination with exporting the document between Mac and WIN or when upgrading a document from CS 3 to CS 4?)

  • Indesign CC won't print color while exported pdf from the same document can!

    Hello,
    I tried everything I know. Even reseting indesign..
    As I mentioned in the title, when I try the pdf file that I exported from indesign it just works fine.
    And  I have no problem printing with color in Illustrator, Photoshop or any other softwares but Indesign.
    Do I miss something?

    I'm sorry to say, but I think it's probably a printer driver problem. Unfortunately, HP printer drivers have poor performance with Adobe InDesign. Do make sure you have to latest printer driver version, however.

  • Font issue in exported PDF from indesign

    Font issue in exported PDF from indesign:
    In Indesign file we have kept a sentence in “Univers LT Std” (San serif font) with all caps style that was orginally in lower case. Refer below
    When we selected the sentence in exported PDF some of the characters are not selected. Refer below.
    If we enable “create tagged PDF“ in export PDF setting, then the problem is solved. Refer below.
    Can you please check why this problem happened? In another project also we have faced this same problem but different font “Frutiger LT Std” with all caps style. Here also same San serif font. Please check and advise to solve this issue permanently.

    Without tags a PDF is a silly amount of letters, images and lines, with tags all itams a kept in their semantic context. So work with tags as it is the only way to get correct selections and export to other file types like Word DOCX.
    Without tags InDesign reads from left to right from top to bottom and the font geometry might influence the correct order of letters.
    Why should anyone work without tags today? If you open a tagged PDF in Acrobat DC it is much faster than without tags.

  • Initial View set with epilogue.ps when exporting pdf from Indesign

    Hi all. After years of Quarking, Freehanding, Pagemakering and my favourite, Indesigning, i finally got down to investigating a one step solution to setting the initial view in pdfs.
    When distributing pdf 'layouts' and 'proofs' to clients i always set the pdf's initial view to fit page before emailing. It is simply the pro thing to do, and allows for a client to view the 'big picture' without having to first see a close-up of the top of a layout or design.
    In the same breath i would set a business card layout to open at 125% or 150% so they get a feel for the actual size of finished product.
    Well all these years of pdf proofing i have been hitting the old ⌘-D in Acrobat and manually setting initial view to fit page. Then ⌘-S and "bobs your uncle".
    Ready to email.
    Huge deadlines aside, this morning i woke up early, and decided to have a good look online as to what one can do to automate this small, but oh so repetitive task. Well reading about the prologue.ps and epilogue.ps, got me really excited, especially when i implemented a little postscript tweak to the epilogue.ps, and distiller saw it through beautifully.
    Alas my elation was short lived as it seems Indesign uses it's own 'distiller' so to speak and does not see the epilogue.ps.
    And i am definitely not going to start printing ps files to a 'watched folder'. I spent years distilling manually, and since Indesign and it's superb built in pdf-ing, i have never looked back.
    So looks like we are all gonna have to continue ⌘-D ing, till adobe picks this up and changes the build to accomodate.
    Just wanted to put this out there, and see perhaps if anybody has another take on this one. Am i missing something. If i am please let us all know.
    Many thanks,
    Rupert Pluck

    If you upgrade to InDesign CS5, there are two ways to export a PDF file: (1) For Print. This this does not include the option to set Initial View (2) For Interactive. For Interactive PDF's you can set the Initial View in InDesign.

    - lorsque je suis dans mon gabarit, j'ai bien le rendu voulu (cf pièce jointe)
    - lorsque je suis dans ma page (avec le gabarit appliqué), j'ai bien le rendu voulu (cf pièce jointe)
    - lorsque je suis dans mon aperçu indesign, j'ai toujours le rendu voulu (cf pièce jointe)
    - mais lorsque j'exporte en PDF, soit je perds systématiquement des objets sur toutes les pages (cf pièce jointe)
    j'ai beau chercher et faire des essais, je ne trouve pas de solution
    c'est pour ca que je m'adresse sur le forum
    quelqu'un a t il une idée ? une piste ?
    merci

    bonjour Lucie.m
    le phénomène que tu décris ressemble à ce que j'ai pu rencontrer
    il s'agissait d'un bloc (bloc texte "page x/x" situé dans un gabarit pour moi) qui posait problème
    il devait aussi influer sur d'autres blocs (dessin en particulier)
    j'ai supprimé le bloc texte et je l'ai recréé et tout s'est mis à fonctionner correctement
    malheureusement je n'ai aucune explication et c'est en tatonnant que j'ai trouvé
    c'est une solution qui vaut ce qu'elle vaut, mais au moins, ca permet d'avancer et de passer a autre chose
    mon environnement de travail est un Windows 7 64bits, 4Go de Ram, proc. Intel Core i7
    mon fichier .indd pèse 120 Mo, 212 pages, des liens sur des photos (psd et jpg) en externe, des hyperliens et références croisées dans tous les sens : catalogue en ligne de www.pramac.fr si tu veux voir
    voila, j'espère que tu trouveras une solution rapidement car moi j'avais perdu du temps et de l'énergie la dessus
    maintenant, attention, je ne connais indesign que depuis mai/juin dernier et je ne suis donc pas un pro
    bien à toi

  • Failure to fully export pdf from InDesign CS2 (application unexpectedly quits)

    I found a TechNote detailing such an issue when you save or export a PDF after the Adobe application has been left idle for several days. However, when I tried both suggested solutions, I was unable to fix the problem. Some say it may be that I have a corrupt file, but the file saves normally and shows no signs of error.
    When I try to export a file as a PDF file from InDesign CS2, I don't get an error message when I save the file. I only receive an error message when I try to open the resulting PDF file which has not been fully processed.
    The error message I see is as follows:
    * Exporting a PDF file from InDesign CS2: The file appears to save without error, but when I open the file with Acrobat I see the error "Acrobat could not open '[file name]' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF."
    Thus, I tried solution 1: upgrading my Mac to Mac OS X v10.5. That didn't work.
    Then I tried solution 2: save the file, and then restart the application. That also did not work.
    The TechNote goes into further detail, explaining:
    "When you save or export PDF files from Photoshop CS2, Acrobat 7, Illustrator CS2, or InDesign CS2, the application must reference the TemporaryItems file located in /tmp/501. Prior to Mac OS X.v10.4, Mac OS X regularly deleted files in the /tmp folder that had not been used or modified within a certain period (approximately two or three days). If an Adobe application is running but unused for several days, Mac OS X prior to version v10.4, would delete the TemporaryItems file. When you save or export a file as PDF, the Adobe application attempts to reference the no-longer existing TemporaryItems file which results in errors or faulty PDF creation.
    When you restarting the Adobe application and then save or export a PDF, the application rebuilds the TemporaryItems file."
    Does anyone have any other suggestions for a solution to my query?

    Similar to you, I've just posted the following in the InDesign section:

    Hello everyone, I've just gone and bought myself a new 2.4ghz iMac and done all of the updates for Tiger so I'm now running 10.4.11. InDesign CS2 is version 4.0.5.
    I have a simple A4 document with 3 placed images which is an updated version of many done previously. I've never had any trouble writing pdf's from them before until tonight on my new Mac. It seems to get about half way through and InDesign quits.
    If I print to a pdf file then it's okay, but a bit long winded when you get used to exporting from InDesign.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Trev
