InDesign CS2 PDF presets not loading

I have none of the predefined joboptions for PDF listed and cannot load them - I get an error message "Cannot import presets from this file". The joboptions are all correctly in the Library/application support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings folder. Also it will not even allow me to create a new file - it says "Cannot create the file. The folder may be write protected". I have gone through and made sure all folders are unlocked etc.
What is happening? Anybody else had this happen?

I have just discovered what was wrong. I have CS2 but also Acrobat Professional 8. I have just found a forum called InDesignSecrets.com and there I found that in CS2 the folder the joboptions are kept in is in a slightly different place - see below:
"Finally, where are PDF preset files saved? I left the technicalities of this until the end because most of you wont know or care (you dont need to know this location to use PDF presets in InDesign). However, for the techies among us, here is where PDF presets (both the default and customized settings) reside in Adobe Creative Suite 2 and Distiller 7:
Macintosh: Library > Application Support > Adobe PDF > Settings
Windows: Documents and Settings > All Users > Shared Documents > Adobe PDF > Settings
One other technical note is that this location has changed for Acrobat 8 Professional (and presumably Adobe Creative Suite 3). The file format for the .joboptions file hasnt changed, however. The default settings are stored in these locations:
Macintosh: Library > Application Support > Adobe > Adobe PDF > Settings
Windows: Documents and Settings > All Users > Application Data > Adobe > Adobe PDF > Settings"
Note that for CS2 the Adobe PDF is in the Application Support folder not in the Adobe folder in the Application Support folder. So I just copied the Adobe PDF folder and dropped it straight into the Application Support folder leaving the original where it was (as I need it there for Acrobat 8). I then restarted InDesign and hey presto the preset job options came in automatically - hooray!

InDesign CS2からのPDFデータについて

InDesign CS2で直接PDF作成したデータが異常に重くなります。
他のDTPソフトの時と比べ同じ位の仕様（内容、ページ数、データ容量）の物がPDFになると以前の5〜6倍位のデータ量になってしまいます。
Acrobat上で最適化してみてもデータ量は変わりません。
ちなみにAdobe PDF設定（joboption）は以前と同じ「標準」を基本とした設定にしています。
また、Acrobat6で開けないと言われチェックしてみたら同じ様に開けませんでした。
これについて理由及び解決策をご存じの方、情報をください。
また、ブックで書き出した時にPDF上の目次（総目次、扉目次も含めて）にリンクが付くのを解除する方法も分かる方教えてください。
使用状況：
G4
OS.10.3.9
InDesign CS2
Acrobat Distiller 7.0

流星ちゃん、早速の回答有り難うございます。
＞＞他のDTPソフトの時はPSからPDFで作っていましたか？
＞＞もしそうだとするならば、同じフローではないので、
＞＞PSを落とす運用を試してみて下さい。
＞＞直接書き出すよりは軽いPDFが出来るはずです。
おっしゃる通り今まではPSデータを書き出してからPDF化していました。
本来DTPソフトから直接PDF化出来る様になっていると思いますが、今まで試してはいましたがエラーになったりした為、一度PSにしてからDistillerでPDF化を行っていました（「しおり」も自動で作ってくれるので便利なのですが....）。
InDesign CS2になってからはエラーが出なくなったので便利で使いだしたのですが、先に記述した様な弊害が生まれてしまいました。
Illustratorもeps形式からai形式に変えたのも重くなった原因かもしれないので、一度PS書き出しするのも含めて試してみます。
結果が出たらまた報告させていただきます。
＞＞ブックマーク・ハイパーリンクのCheckBoxをオンにしていませんか？
オンにしています。
ファイルを複数に分けているので「オン」にしてPDF化しないと後の手間が大変で・・・・
MS WordはPDF作成の時、目次のリンクをON/OFF出来ると思いますが、InDesignでは出来無いのでしょうか？？

PDF presets not showing up in indesign CC

Hi,
We have about 28 CC users on mac (mavericks), and we've just started using Indesign CC within the last month or so.
My problem is that we are 'deploying' via remote desktop, a standard set of PDF presets so everyone have the same settings. This works fine on cs3-cs6. But for some reason it does not work with indesign CC. CC wil only show the presets that are in the users/xxx/Application support/Adobe PDF/Settings folder and not the ones from the default folder /Library/Application support/adobe/adobe PDF/settings .
I can add them by either loading the presets in indesign one by one, on every single mac, or manually also on every single mac, put the presets in the users folder, but both options really suck. Mind you we change presets very often, so this is really not ideal for me.
Hope someone can help direct me to the master PDF preset folder for CC - The one folder who rules them all !!!

PDF presets - not recognized

hi,
i'm trying to export a pdf file for press,
when i go to pdf presets>define and choose "press quality" (or others as well)
it says on the discription : "not recognized as a valid joboptions file".
when i try to export it doesn't appear as an option.
what to do?? plz help
thanx, Lior
using indesign cs2, windows xp

Did you have an earlier version installed? I believe CS and earlier used a different preset format. .joboptions files located in \Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Adobe PDF\Settings should be recognized.

InDesign CS3 PDF Presets disappeared

One of my Macs that has been working fine for a while has suddenly lost it's PDF Presets. I should maybe say misplaced, as they are available in the File>Adobe PDF Presets drop-down menu, but not via the Print dialog.
Dual 2.3 G5, OS X 10.4.11, InDesign 5.0.4, Acrobat 7 instead of 8 due to Quark, Quark 6.52

I ran through the usual suspects; repair disk permissions, update OS and CS3. No luck. I stubmled upon the link below, again, and manually set permissions for the Application Support folder. It works again (for all accounts).

All PDF Presets Not Showing Up in Menu

There are 14 total PDF presets between both Settings folders on my computer (Mac 10.8.5). Only 10 of them are showing in the Adobe PDF Presets menu item. Does anyone know why all of them wouldn't be showing up?
Thanks,
Lloyd

I'm in InDesign CC 2014. All of the missing ones came with InDesign, as far as I know…they all have the same creation dates. I created two and they ARE showing up. And it's not consistent; some from each folder are showing up, and some from each folder are not showing up. A couple of them are named PDFA1b as opposed to PDFX1a (etc.). Also, two that aren't showing up have JPN in the file name (right before the period) but one that has JPN in the file name IS showing up. It's not a huge deal, I was just curious why some would and some wouldn't.Thanks!

PDFs do not load in Firefox, they do when I'm in Safari. If I'm on a website and I click on a pdf link, nothing happens. It has happened from multiple sites.

PDF files do not load in Firefox. I click on a link for a PDF and nothing comes up. It happens at every website. I've been using Safari because PDFs open up there just fine. I have all the updated plug-ins, etc. and checked to make sure everything on Firefox was updated. I'm on a MacBook Pro, 10.7.3. I've never had this problem before.

I am having the same issue - also on a macbook pro, also turning to Safari. I just get a blank page - no download initiates, nothing happens.

Pdf content not loading while printing using JavaScript

In my web app, I am trying to print a doc using JavaScript, but content of the pdf is not getting loaded, this can be seen in the below link.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2nqjT-VxFWwVVhsQ1hLUnJ3MFU/view?usp=sharing
Code:
var printWin = window.open(this.lURL, '', 'top=100, left=500, width=900, height=800, titlebar=no');
printWin.print();
"this.lURL" is link which brings the pdf file/doc.
Note: As soon as I click on cancel button of print, the content gets loaded.
And if I click print blank page gets printed.

I understand that the web app that your are developing has a function to print the contents of a pdf created with javascript, :
Please first check these basic troubleshooting steps for printing:

Does this happen with the default pdf viewer or another?

I want a solution which doesn't require to reset or change the settings of the browser.
Once the app is available globally everyone should be able to use this functionality without altering the settings of the browser.

Pdf does not load

When I try to open a PDF on my macbook pro (from 2011) it does not load. thanks

How are you trying to open the PDF?
What exactly happens when you try? Include the full text of any error message.
Are you having trouble with all PDF's, or only some?

Pdf files not loading

I have some PDF files that are not loading. I am loading them from a PDF file, and the links are a full path to the file. Open: http://www.starkhealth.org/nursing/reproductive.pdf. At the bottom, you can click on any 4 of the links. The pages load into a blank screen and appear to be loading but nothing happens.
Also I have some PDF files that contain external links to other sites. Some work and some do not. That is really strange!
The files/links that I am referring to work fine in IE.
Any help would be appreciated. I have always loved Firefox, but recently I am seeing that IE seems to work across the board much better. But, the bottom line I still need Firefox to be able to navigate my site.
Many thanks.

I do believe these files were generated using Publisher. Good point. So, if the files were created using something other than Publisher (maybe Word), then converted, do you think that would fix the problem? Maybe a design program like Photoshop, then converted to PDF would solve the problem.
Now could you explain what you mean about disabling Optimization? Where would I do that?
I did not create the files, as they were sent to me from my client. I have even tried saving the PDF as an image and making it into a HTML file, then hot link the files. Same results.
i have tried all the other browsers and they do not have any problems at all. That is what is so strange about all of this.
When I try to select another program to read the files, it only gives me Adobe Acrobat, not Reader. And to have the general public have to adjust their browser to read the files, would not be acceptable. The only thing I could do would put a disclaimer on the front page to tell viewers to use another browser. I'll bet my client would LOVE that!
I really appreciate your help!
Ted

PDF's not loading in browser - Internet Explorer 9, Adobe Reader X, Win 7 x64

I have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and have a site that uses forms that need to be filled and submitted. The problem is that when I open the form, they are opening in a seperate Window.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader
I've done 'detect' and repair several times.
I have checked and unchecked "Display PDF in browser" under EDIT -> PREFERENCES -> Internet
What I CAN tell is that when I go into Internet Explorer and look at the addons I do NOT see any of the acrobat add-ons that I see on my other computers (that work).
I've looked in the program files/common files/adobe/acrobat/active x folder and all the files are there but I don't see a way to make Internet Explorer force loading those or getting them in there manually.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm at my wits end!

Thank you for this.
One you said this I checked and it was running IE 64bit.
For some reason IE*64 was the default browser (which shouldn't happen). Since IE*32 wouldn't allow me to set it as default (greyed out) I installed Chrome, set it as default browser then fired IE*32 back up, set it as default and vioila it's fixed.
I'm embarrased I didn't think of that first....
Thank you!

PDF document not loading

I am trying to figure this issue out. I have an updated version 11 Internet Explorer that will not properly display Adobe PDF documents. I have included a screen shot to show what it looks like whenever I try to load a pdf doc.
I have tried to load the pdf locally (stored on the drive) and on the web. Both fail to display the pdf. I have re-installed Adobe Reader in an attempt to solve this issue. Still no luck.
Hopefully someone here can help me with this issue. Running Windows 7 Professional.

InDesign CS2 PDF Export is Screened

This problem just started happening to me last night. All solids are appearing in PDFs as screened, however when I pull the PDFs I create into Illustrator to check them, they are fine. Please help! I usually export as press quality and a preset I made called press quality native color.
Thanks!

It is screened when I print it out thru Preview on my Mac also thru Acrobat Professional. When I import the PDF into Illustrator and print it out...everythig is solid (correct). I don't want to go thru the extra hassle of printing thru Acrobat...just want to use export to PDF from InDesign as I was doing prior.
Also, if I open the screened PDF in Illustrator (where it is solid) and re-save as a PDF, it becomes screened again!

Help! InDesign interactive PDF buttons not working in Safari or on iPad

I made an infographic in Indesign for our university magazine with a QR code to link to an interactive pdf. Nothing too complicated animation wise, simply buttons that you can click on to view different parts of the graphic. However, the buttons are not working at all in Safari and on the iPhone and iPad, the buttons disapear completley. Please help.
http://bit.ly/yrTN4R?r=qr
Thanks,
Gretchen

Whether buttons work correctly in a PDF file depend entirely on what PDF reader you're using. Here are a couple of important facts:
* While corrected created interactive PDFs will display correctly in the FREE Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, they probably won't display correctly in Apple's Preview application which is probably what you're viewing in Safari.
* None of the PDF readers currently available on an iPad (e.g., iBooks, GoodReader, etc.) correctly handle interactivity like buttons on an iPad.

Indesign CC 2014 is not loading

I was working in Indesign earlier today on my laptop with no issues and now the program won't launch correctly. I am using Windows 8 and it stops loading when the loading screen dialogue says "Starting up Trackers..." and a popup window tells me that Adobe Indesign has stopped working due to a problem and Windows will close the program and notify me of a solution. Of course Windows has not notified me, but I downloaded the updated version and I have tried restarting my computer. I am not sure where to go from there. The older versions work correctly but the document I was working on was created using the newest cc version. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I deleted the saved data file thats at the bottom. Is there anything else that shouldn't be there?
