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 export to PDF created hyphens

    I exported a pdf from InDesign CS5 that created hyphens in a paragraph where none had existed. What gives?
    Thanks, Sidney

    Ah, sorry for the exporting misunderstanding. I thought it was implied that since you can't export using a product, it's through ID. The NitroPDF is what it is exporting to and thus where I thought there could potentially be a driver disconnect within the workflow.
    I'm confused. From ID you export to PDF (and get asked where to save the file). It sounds more like you are printing to PDF using Nitro PDF as a substitute for Distiller. Would you mind listing the commands you use to do that so I understand the workflow?
    And I guess things have changed with reader... the X version gives you a limited amount of printing, according to the download site? Never heard of that before.... Who knew? I was always steered towards Acrobat Distiller if using any printing where an Adobe product was accessible.
    What do you mean by a limited amount of printing? Distiller has no print function at all, nor any other fuction than to distill postscript into (flattened and primitive) PDF.

  • Export to PDF fails for some reports, but report viewer works

    Hi all
    Our application produces several different reports.
    - Report A can successfully be viewed in the ASP.NET report viewer control and can be exported to PDF
    - Reports B and C can successfully be viewed in the ASP.NET report viewer (all pages),  but export to PDF fails with a very unclear error message. The stack trace is attached below.
    Two days ago, reports B and C have fully worked, and I'm sure by 100% that the report templates haven't been modified since then.
    Can anyone explain what is going wrong? Is there some internal logging inside Crystal Reports that can be investigated to find out about the reasons of the error?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks
    Kuno
    PS.: The Crystal Libraries under investigation are quite old. In fact, it is a very old application that still runs under .NET 1.0.

    Hello Kuno,
    please try to find out more details.
    You say it is data dependent. Could you be a bit more specific. What data work or do not work ?
    As a good test pls see if our samples reports work. They come with a default installation. If you do not have them any more - get them from [here|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100005852352008E/cr_xi_xtreme_rep_smpl_en.zip].
    Can you display and export them ? Do you get the same error ?
    Thanks in advance

    Adobe InDesign CS5 needs plugs ins, but how?   Adobe InDesign CS6 won't open says OS problem.  Adobe upgrade site crashes on me.

    You might ask in InDesign to learn how to install plugins
    >says OS problem
    What IS your operating system, and which exact version?
    Is the link below where you are starting for upgrades?

  • How to embed SWF in InDesign and export as PDF?

    I am trying to do something that seems very simple, but I can't get it to work. I have a simple SWF animation that I have exported from Flash CS5, and I have placed it into my Indesign CS5 document. I checked these items in the Media panel:
    Play on Page Load
    Poster: From Current Frame
    When I export the PDF, I select PDF/X-4 and choose Interactive Elements: Include Appearance. I get a still image of the animation in the PDF, but it doesn't play. Why?

    Hi, I have the same issue??
    Even when exporting as an interactive pdf.
    My problem is that I am trying to figure out how to export my swf embedded file into an interactive pdf.
    I have created an interactive presentation with buttons, effects etc. After which I exported to swf so that all the effects work.
    But when placing the swf file back into indesign and exporting again as an interactive pdf it doesn't work at all, all I get is a white screen. (I need a pdf for clients basically, they dont want any swf or flash files.)
    Even though after placing the swf file, in the media window I ticked play on page load as well as chose a cover image for the swf file. Still just a white screen when exporting.
    To repeat, I need to know how to convert my swf file into an interactive pdf.
    Any pointers please would be great I have some swf presentations I need to change into pdf as soon as possible or before tomorrow to be exact before our monthly meeting with clients.
    Please help

  • InDesign CS5 exports PDFs where EPS elements have low resolution

    I am rather new to InDesign CS5. I am currently working on a magazine, where I use graphics in TIFF and EPS. The exported PDF shows graphics in correct quality (300 dpi - TIFF) and graphics with poor resolution -> EPS. How is that even possible? The problem disappears when I use .AI, but it should work with EPS to, shouldn't it?
    I figured that it might have something to do with the Transparency Flattener Presets, am I right? My presets are set to "low resolution" and it is not possible to set them to "hight resolution", as InDesign refuses to remember those settings.
    Please help!

    Well, I was just trying to figure out why it's happening and thought that it might have something to do with the transparency flattening.
    My colleagues, who also work with InDesign (althought with older versions), always use EPS and they never have problems. But your advice is not to use EPS format, am I right?

  • 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 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.

  • InDesign cannot export to pdf after corrupt file crash. Mac 10.6.8, CS5 7.0.4

    Last Friday when opening an InDesign file that had become corrupt on the server, it crashed InDesign and since then hasn't been able to export to PDF. I've done a complete uninstall/reinstall of Creative Suite, ran Disk Utility on the MAC and still no luck. My next step is a complete wipe of the MAC and reinstall everything unless someone has another idea. Thanks, Ed

    see Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup for John's list of additional user files you can delete. If that doesn't work, try renaming the Adobe folders inthe bad account, then copy the ones from the admin account that works.

  • Export to .pdf fails.

    Tar 6388351.992
    Customer is on DBI 7.0.1 and XML Publisher 5.0.0
    DBI uses XML publisher to export to .pdf.
    When trying to export reports to PDF, the customer gets an

    Hi
    Please use the internal mailing list for XMLP questions the forums are meant for customers not support or development.
    That said, as I remember the integration, XMLP just generates the ouput. the DBI module is in charge of where its put and how its accessed. Id suggest asking the DBI dev team for some help.

  • InDesign CS6 Export to PDF has missing objects

    When exporting to PDF, I have a 6-page document that has missing objects from the master.
    Here's the document with the content removed:
    lab.cyke.net/pdf/MissingObjects.pdf
    The first and last pages were constructed correctly. All pages in between are screwed up. Any ideas?

    @Jongware – I have a case with InDesign CS5.5 7.5.3 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 where master pages based on each other lead to false representation of page objects.
    Not only in pdf export, but also on the actual InDesign pages. Made an IDML from it, opened that in InDesign CS4 and the error was gone.
    This problem is documented at the German-Swiss forum "HilfDirSelbst" at:
    http://www.hilfdirselbst.ch/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=496285#496285
    Some screen grabs together with the IDML are attached there.
    After opening the IDML from InDesign CS4 with the error gone, I exported another IDML from CS4, opened that in InDesign CS5.5 7.5.3 and the error was present.
    To detect the error look at pages 1* and 4 of the mentioned screen grabs.
    Uwe
    //EDIT: *the screen grab of the pages palette of InDesign CS5.5 shows the error on page 4 only. The error is present outside of page 1 as well, but cannot show on the screen grab.

  • InDesign CS6 - Exporting Issues, PDF being sent to Photshop and saving as a psd rather than the requested pdf? Please help!

    Hi
    I have an issue in InDesign CS6. It has been happening the last couple of days now.

    I have updated InDesign to the latest CS6 update which helped the issue yesterday but today the same problem is back. Help please what could be the problem and how do I fix it?
    Any advice is very appreciated.
    Thanks

    ExportPDF is a subscription service for exporting PDF files into Word and Excel, from Adobe Reader. I suspect you need the InDesign forum, as InDesign is the product here.

  • Indesign links exported to PDF

    Hey,
    I am using the latest version of indesign as on 2014. I am confused about how linked images work with exporting a PDF. When I export a pdf without all the links being embedded, do those links still show up in the PDF for someone opening it on another computer? Or do all links need to be embedded to appear in an exported PDF? Thanks so much, any opinions are appreciated.

    Links have not to be embedded when you export the file to PDF. If the links are OK in the InDesign file (not missing or modified), the exported PDF will be absolutely fine and viewable on any computer.

  • 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.
