InDesign CS5.5 - Book export PDF - Folio

Hi
I have been noticed that the BOOK option PDF exported from InDesign CS5.5 is having issue with continuous page numbering (Folio). The merged book PDF is having repeated Folio in Running Heads, but the InDesign Source document has the Folios placed perfectly with page numbering option. Individual PDF created from InDesign document was also fine - no issues with Folio. CS5.5 update 7/7.2 is having the issue with Folio on Book exported PDF.
Have any one of you faced these issues and solution - Please update.

Had the same problem – drove me mad. Only one or two chapters in each book were effected. And because we did not spot this, we were selling books with the same page number all through a chapter.
Solution.
I found a solution that works every time, and it is quite simple. The problem lies in the Master Pages section.
The solution is to create a new Master Page (but not copying the previous Master). Copy details from a Master Page that works! Make sure the new Master has the same dimensions and indents as the old one.
Then change all the pages in that chapter to the new Corrected Master. (A global change to all pages – easy to do).
Presto – you should have proper page numbering in the resulting pdf.
Cheers,
Ralph

InDesign CS5.5 Exporting PDF master page hyperlinks only work on first 2 pages

We recently upgraded from CS5 to CS5.5 and now our hyperlinks that go to different pages in the PDF only are working on the first 2 pages of each document in the book. We have about 30 documents wrapped up in a indesign book. On the master page we have hyperlinks that allow users to quickly go to the index in the back of the book. After the CS5.5 upgrade the hyperlinks only work the the first 2 pages of each document. We export to PDF(print) with hyperlinks enabled.
I have tried the below:
- I have tried 2 different computers
- Deleted and re-created the indesign preference file
- deleted and re-created the hyperlinks

Can you recommendd the best way to manage the following:
I'm on a Mac. Created an enewsletter for a client in Indesign CS5 with 7 "click here"s throughout the document. The hyperlinks are to connect w other PDF documents not URLs.
Where will I have the best luck creating the hyperlinks - Indesign or in the PDF I export? I have Acrobat Pro if I need to create the hyperlinks in the PDF.
Except I can't figure out how to create the links in either program as far as what name to designate and where do the PDFs reside so people can link to them? And do I enter the file name of the PDF connected to the particular "click here."

InDesign CS5 Book to Interactive PDF

Hi all,
Now in InDesign CS5 there is a more convenient option under File > Export... to make interactive PDFs with links, buttons, etc.
In exchange, in the traditional PDF Presets export workflow there are some changes, in the dialog box. Now there is an option "Interactive elements" and two options: "Export appearance" or "Not include".
That means that when I am dealing with an InDesign document with buttons, if I choose to make the PDF with the traditional way, I have to choose either if preserve just the appearance of buttons (but they no longer work) or just exclude them. OK...
Then I use File > Export... and choose Interactive PDF, then everything it's just OK.
BUT.... I am making an InDesign CS5 Book, where every file involved has buttons. In the Book window, I can export the whole book to PDF, but using the old-fashioned way that either includes just the appearance of buttons or excludes them! I'd like to export my Book into a fully interactive PDF
So what can I do? or what am I missing?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Ignasi

When you choose to export the book out of the ID Book file, choose Interactive. The same settings come up as exporting the interactive PDF out of the individual ID file.

Indesign CS5 - Problems with PDF-Export

Hello community,
we do have a problem with Indesign CS5 and exporting data into PDF. It is about that logo on that white surface, which doesnt come along with the rest after the pdf-export. What we did was: We created that white surface in Indesign itself, put an effect on it with the Indesign effect gallery and then imported the logo in the surface ... the logo itself is .psd data. So, if we export it into pdf like that, it is just dissapeared. Does anyone have had a similar problem and what can be done about it?
By the way ... if you put, for example, a simple backgroundshadow on a picture ... done also with the Indesign effect gallery, then you get just a white surface instead of the shadow, after the export into pdf. It does maybe correlate with the other problem ... not sure. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much for your help and kind regards ...

I would create the entire logo, including the white background, in Illustrator, save as PDF and place that in ID.

InDesign CS5.5 Export to PDF fails how to fix?

Using InDesign CS5 to creat a portfolio, all layed out and ready to print but when I export to PDF it takes a long time and then fails.
What am I doing wrong?

Is the issue with the one file only or with multiple file, if it is with the one file only then there could be some component like Image , font that could be causing the issue,
And if it with the multiple file then you can try this article:- kb2.adobe.com/cps/878/cpsid_87876.html

InDesign CS5 Crashes on PDF Export if Suitcase Fusion 3 Auto Activation is on

I just started having a problem after upgrading from SF2 to 3 and using InDesign CS5. My exports to PDF were all crashing as soon as the PDF creation background process started. I tried all kinds of tests and troubleshooting to figure out what was causing the problem as it was sudden and erratic.
Then I noticed that all the documents crashing were using fonts I had activated with SF 3, so I created a new document with a simple system font and it exported OK. Then a font installed activated permanently via SF and still would crash.
I closed SF and reopen InDesign with a document using the SF permanently activated fonts, still would crash. It wasn't until I turned off SF3 Auto Activation in Preferences that the crashing ceased. I can now have SF3 open, activate fonts and see them in InDesign and export successfully without crash as long as that preference is unchecked.
This should be fixed in the next updated I hope as I like the auto activation feature.
Just posted as well on Extensis Forums:
http://forums.extensis.com/jforum/posts/list/3533.page

I have also had a crash on export problem recently. I went through the suggestions in this thread and searched others.
Then I stepped through a few things in my INDD.
Deleted the suspect page. Export worked.
Brought the page back. Export crashed.
Looked at all the text on the page. I had 4 boxes with bulleted text.
I converted the bullets to text and the export went ahead with no problem.
I turned the bulleted list back into a real bulleted list and the export crashed again.
Go figure.

Cross reference or hyperlinking not working for InDesign CS5 Book to ePub

I cannot get hyperlinks or cross reference links to work when generating an ePub from InDesign CS5. (7.0.0.355, Mac OS 10.6.2)
Here's how to recreate a simple test demonstrating the issue.
1. Create a new InDesign Book (File -> New -> Book)
2. Create document one (File -> New -> Document)
3. Create a text box and type "Table of Contents"
4. Create document two (File -> New -> Document)
5. Create a text box in it and type "Story One"
6. Create a new paragraph style and assign it to the Story One text
7. Save document 2. I just kept the name Untitled-2.xhtml
8. Back in document 1, add a cross-reference and select document 2, the style you created, and then "Story One". "Story One" should now appear under the previously typed Table of Contents text, and when highlighed, should show it is an active cross reference in the Hyperlinks panel.
9. Save document 1. I just kept the name Untitled-1.xhtml
10. Add both documents to the Book and save the book.
11. From the Book panel, select Export Book to EPUB...
12. Save the epub file and open it in Adobe Digital Editions.
Note that the text "Story One" appears as a hyperlink but when clicked does not switch to the document 2. It does nothing apparent when clicked.
Looking at the XHTML source for the first document, it is immediately evident why. The filename for document 2.thml is missing. It looks like this: <a href="#anchor-anchor">
When it should be : <a href="Untitled-2.xhtml#anchor-anchor">
The same thing works if you create a hyperlink instead of a cross reference.
I note then when I use the option to go to the destinate reference in the Cross Link (hyperlink) panel, it does switch to the second InDesign docuemtn. So the cross reference is functioning (in InDesign). But the link is broken in the ePub for the above mentioned reason.
Bug? Something I'm overlooking?
Entire source of Untitled-1.xhtml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

As far as I can tell, it has NOT yet been fixed in CS5.5. I'm having the same problem. I have about 90 hyperlinks to fix.
And the explanation that Teus Dejong gives indicates it's not going to be that helpful: "we have found that only the links in documents split by the CS5 exporter will be fixed. For books the script does only work for references to earlier documents in the book, not for forward references. This means in practice that for most books the script will not repair the links and should be seen as a means to add the year only. At the moment I see no way to repair this, because the book epub output of InDesign does not contain sufficient information to repair links referencing forward to others documents in a book."
It's pretty discouraging.

ID CS6 crash on book export pdf

ID6 crashes on exporting PDF of a book no matter what preset, get stucked in random places, in different books, but always the same place in the same doc, this happen to me with every book i've tried to export (selecting all the files in the book palette and then "exporting book to PDF")
individual files exported ok.
CS4 version of Indesign can manage the same file and exporting the whole book.
OSX 10.6.8
Mac Pro / 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon / 3GB 1066 MHz DDR3
InDesign CS6 8.0
ps: after 38 views and no clues i start to believe there is no solution

Does the file export correctly with previous version of ID?
A bug is logged for a simlar issue #3229808 . As pointed by Peter, it happens because of shortage in memory allocation for big files.
Divide and conquer should be the current work-around. Identify the the page that is heavy and export in parts.

Indesign CS5 to Interactive PDF buggy?

I spent the last couple days, on and off, working with Indesign CS5 on OSX to create an interactive PDF.
Using Lynda.com as a resource, I set up some nice animations that were exporting well. I refined them and was prepared to finish up today. This morning, however, things stopped working. My animations Preview well in Indesign, but after creating the SWF, and placing it -- or even using a SWF I created yesterday--the export is not working. The Export to Interactive PDF is not the most difficult part of the process and I couldn't have forgotten *everything* over night! It was working fine yesterday.
Anyway, I tried rebooting. Creating a new, fresh Indesign document. Doing a fresh animation, using much simpler components. Using different versions of Reader (I have 9, 10 and 8 loaded). Nothing works. I'm not sure what the problem is but part of my animation gets clipped, and/or the Acrobat view is *always* wrong no matter what setting I choose. The whole things is a mess and I'm abandoning the project which I had hoped to include as part of my proposal today. Oh well, it's not a key element, but it would have been nice.
Anyone having similar problems or know why this might be happening???

I can tell you what they'll tell you in the Acrobat forum: PDF is considered a FINAL format. It's not intended (or constructed) to be work the way you would like.
allow the end user to be able to modify the text in each section so they can personalize it as necessary. Additionally, I want them to be able to add thier own logo to the newsletter.
The only thing that approaches what you want is creating form fields in InDesign that can be filled out when a user received the PDF document.
If each recipient had a full copy of PAID Acrobat application, they could make minor changes in text and pictures. To have the greatest capabilities, they would need to own the latest version, Acrobat XI, which has stronger editing features than earlier versions of Acrobat.

InDesign won't export pdf

I'm using InDesign CS5 on OSX 10.8. I've tried to export multiple pdfs from various files and have this problem every now and then (Which happend on both OSX 10.7 and 10.8). The empty pdf file will start as if nothing is wrong and then just disappear after about 10-15 seconds. No error dialog pops up or anything.
One file in particular is about 50 pages long and when I've exported 1 or 2 select pages, it works fine somehow, just refuses to export the file in its entirety.
All of my software is up to date. Does anybody have any solutions?

I had to give in a just try your method, Peter.
The culprit was Acrobat's "convert to grayscale" function in Preflight. I had several pdfs that I had converted to grayscale this way and InDesign was inable to create a pdf of the pages that had said pdfs on them - literally almost every single one was a problem.
I have no idea why all of a sudden this is an issue as I've been doing this for a couple of years now and never had an issue until now. At least I got it working again though. Thanks everyone!

Automatically add InDesign metadata to Exported PDF

Dear InDesigners,
For the studio I work it became important to make visible which person (Author) worked on a certain document as well as what the latest version of that specific document is.
It sometimes happens that clients send us a PDF file (with corrections or changes in it) of an old version of a document. We now keep only one (latest) InDesign documents and save any changes in there, so there's no real way to notice the PDF and InDesign are different versions.
Questions:
1. Is it possible for a user to have InDesign automatically fill-in the 'Author' field when exporting a pdf?
2. Is it possible to have a unique element in an exported pdf that makes it clear it connects to a specific version of an InDesign document?
Many thanks in advance!
Moris
P.S. I am looking into XMP, but am completely new in this, but maybe there's a solution in there? Additional info: Management now told us, for each change made to a document an incremental document should be saved (adding _v01 and for the next change save it with_v02 and so on), and the previous version kept as it is. For the studio this means a lot of additional (manual) effort and cluttered project folders with numerous files with increasing file name sizes. I'm hoping I can prevent this...

You can add stuff manually in the File>File Info
It might be possible to script this information into the File Info
All that info will come up in Acrobat under File>Document Properties.

Cannot print directly from InDesign CS5, must export to PDF

My co-worker and I have not been able to print to our Ricoh Aficion SP C811DN from InDesign since upgraded to CS5. We both experience similar errors (ERROR: undefined, OFFENDING COMMAND: o [or C, or some other letter] and then STACK: XXX). We are both running Windows XP, I am 64-bit, she is not. The only workaround thus far is exporting to PDF and printing from there.
I have tried printing single random pages and omitting graphics but neither of these seems to work. I did create a new document and inserted a single black box with white text and that printed just fine, but anything more complicated won't print.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Honestly, that’s the general advice anyway.
I never print from InDesign. It’s just not that efficient.
BTW, Windows XP64 is completely unsupported. Time to move to Windows 7.

Indesign CS5 and Export to PDF

Hi Group!
Got a weird one here...
I've searched high and low for this but, I have a user who i just recently upgraded to CS5 (company still on CS4 for internal reasons), and noticed a strange anomaly when exporting to PDF. For whatever reason, somewhere within the operating system and/or application(s) when the IDCS5 file is exported to PDF, as soon at the PDF hits the desktop, or where ever the PDF file is saved to, Acrobat opens the file immediately after. Even before the PDF has finished ripping. Where do you suppose this setting is to open PDFs automatically like this? Anyone seen this? Thanks!

Hi Bob,
Maybe you can help with the CS5 problem that sends Acrobat to the background after automatically opening the pdf I just created with the "view pdf after exporting" box checked. In all previous versions, and in Illustrator, the pdf opens nicely in Acrobat and stays in the foreground so I can look at it, and send it as an attachment, etc.

Problems previewing InDesign CS5.5 exported EPUBs in Apple iBooks, on an iOS device.

I have EPUB Creation problems when I use my InDesign CS 5.5 document from my first EPUB book, as a template to create my other two EPUB books.
My customer gave me a job that forced me to learn how to do EPUBs – and I'm still learning. I created three books in Design CS 5.5, for fixed page PDF, with interactive table of contents and for exporting to a regular EPUB, with auto-reflow formatting and automated table of contents. These books were not created for print.
After I created the first one and successfully exported to an EPUB, that previewed fine in free Adobe Additions, I used the first InDesign CS 5.5 document as a template to create the other two publications. These books were around a hundred pages, or less, with little or no placed jpeg images except on the three books' covers, so I did not create a Book.indb for each publication. Each book is completed in single InDesign files with their own unique front cover art on their first page.
When my customer previewed the three books on his iPad, in iBooks, all three books show the cover of the first book, when you see them on the iBooks library shelf. Then when you open them, you see the correct cover for that specific book and the correct interior pages.
When I open each InDesign file and open the File Information tabbed dialog, I have a different document title entered for each of the three different books. When I export to EPUB, the EPUB Export Option dialog pops up and I have selected "Include Document Metadata." I entered the Publisher name and a separate Unique Identifier for each book, when I export.
After I emailed the three EPUBs to my iPod Touch, all three showed up in my iBooks library but when you see them on the library shelf they have the first book's cover on all three. So I have a redundant cover preview on the library bookshelf icons, in the iBooks app, running in Apple iOS.
I have two books by Elizabeth Castro about Creating EPUBs with InDesign. I'm going to read them some more, especially the part about preparing your EPUB for Apple iBooks, on iOS. But, I thought I would share my problem here to see if anyone has a solution for me. Thanks.

I often end up answering my own questions but I will do so again, this time, so that others can learn. When you are exporting to EPUB in InDesign CS 5.5, an EPUB Export Options diolog appears. Under "EPUB Cover," select "Use Existing Image file" and choose the actual file that was used on on the first page of the InDesign document, for the new book's cover.
This feature can cause inbedded human error if you use a completed Indesign book as a template to create other books because even though you placed a new cover at the beginning of the book, the Export options still has the cover file selected for the previous book you worked on.
I actually got the answer to my problem with the InDesign Help Menu, when InDesign CS 5.5 is launched.

Indesign hang while exporting PDF

I'm trying to export a high quality PDF for my publisher. It's an Indesign book with 14 chapters. I've exported it many times before for preview. It always hangs on the same page; every time. I've tried changing the illustrations on that page from .ai to .PDF. Same thing.
Funny thing is that when I export the chapter separately, it works fine. What else could it be that is causing this book to quit exporting on the same page every time?

If you are able to export in pieces (as in the chapter exports alone), but not all together, it most likely is a system resources problem. It sometimes works to close ID and reopen, then do the export as the first operation. You can also combine individual PDFs into a single file using Acrobat.
