Indesign CS6 problems; export/save as .pdf

I get big sections of text no longer text but dashed lines as well as funny "missing font" problems of fonts that don't exist/I don't use. Any help would be appreciated, as I have never had this problem before with CS, CS2 or CS4.
I am on a Mac, OSX10.6.8
Thanks

I'll say to you what I always say in response to this statement when no true bug has been established. 99% of the time what users think are bugs turn out, if you spend the time to dig deep enough, to be some sort of software conflict or configuration issue on the user's own machine. There is nothing that an update can or will do to solve these localized issues.
Most true bugs show up here in the forum pretty quickly with dozens, if not hundreds, of complaints, unless they are triggered by something very obscure that most users never do. Export to PDF, Times New Roman, and paragraph rules don't really fit the obscure description, and I don't believe other users will be able to consistently reproduce your problems, let alone the Adobe engineers (and they can't fix waht they can't reliably reproduce).
I don't blame you for going back to a system that works to get your project done, but if you want to progress with using CS6 I think you need to do some more work on your end. Consistently odd behavior, and you're telling us now about more than one oddity, can be casued by damaged preferences, easy to test (see Replace Your Preferences) or a failed or damaged appliction installation. You may find, when you have time, that uninstalling, running the clean tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstalling will help. Running in diagnostic mode, with startup programs and extensions disabled, is also a good way to check for software conflicts you might not suspect.

Indesign CS6 epub export bug

I am using Indesign CS6 to export a book to epub. Having problems with automatic numbers and bullets as well as spacing issues; however, I've made some adjustments and am getting a pretty decent epub. Here's the issue: When I convert my epub to Mobi using Calibre, I get double bullets and double numbers in my lists. I used this same process to create a Mobi file a few months ago in Indesign 5.5 with no problem. So I took one of my CS6 files, exported it to IDML, opened it in CS5.5 and exported to ePub. I then took that epub and converted it to Mobi using Calibre. No double bullets or numbers. So the issue is coming from Indesign CS6.
Anyone else had this issue. Any other ideas on how to get a clean Mobi file from CS6?

Thanks a million.

lotuscott,
You should get the 8.0.1 update for InDesign CS6. It fixes several EPUB bugs including the "space before" problem and the "epub-ruby" (which is I believed intended for Japanese language.

InDesign CS6 Map export tags

I have viewed the video on mapping which is most helpful. I have one difficulty.
The export tags dialogue box shows only 6 heading options. Because my document was prepared for print, I have eight-nine heading styles. How do I deal with this problem?

Thanks a million.

InDesign CS6 ePub Export : Tables with header and footer in HTML

Hey there,
does anyone know, whether InDesign CS6 also exports Table Headers and footers correctly into the XHTML-File of the ePub.
What I mean, is whether the elements <thead> and <tfoot> are created?
Or is it only possible to steer this via the CSS-Classnames which can be given in the tableformats?
Generally I think it would be better if the user had the chance to map other exporttags to its elements than just p, em, strong, h1-h6.
it would be useful to also put in other elements by hand.
Best regrads.

By "also", do you mean the behavior is changed with respect to CS5/CS5.5? In those, thead and tfoot are created correctly. (Although, quite disconcerting, in the order "thead / tfoot / tbody". ePub renderers based on Webkit display them correctly nevertheless, but others do not. An extremely annoying free interpretation of the W3C rules.)

I don't think you understand: I want to open Dreamweaver and build a brand new site, then when I am done I want to host the dreamweaver site on the Business Catalyst platform. I dont want to use anything in BC to build the site, I just want to use the hosting platform. I do not want to import a BC site into dreamweaver or anything like that. I just want to use BC the same way I would use godaddy, or uhost or any other hosting provider. Based on your response you said that "of course its possible to build a BC site in Dreamweaver" I dont want to build a BC site, I want to build a Dreamweaver site and host it on the BC platform. Like I said before it doesnt seem like this is possible. As of now we can only build a new site in MUSE and integrate it into BC without using a BC template. Can you understand what I am saying. I DONT WANT TO USE A BC TEMPLATE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BC WHILE I AM BUILDING THE SITE WITH DREAMWEAVER, JUST LIKE MUSE DOES.

In Indesign CS6 I export an artboard to TIFF with the sdk's funtion SnapshotUtilsEx- ExportImageToTIFF(iStream) and, the resulting file is one pixel too large in the X, leaving a transparent strip on one edge. Any idea if there is a bug in the sdk?

An easy example to prove this bug of Indesing CS6: I create a psd with Photoshop CS6, with width 505 pixels, height 317 pixels and a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. This psd is placed on a page in InDesign CS6. Then I try to export it as a tiff with the functions:
fSnapshotUtilsEx->Draw(flags,fullResolutionGraphics,greekBelowPtSize,enableAntiAliasing,tr ansparencyQuality,abortCheck,pVPAttrMap,bDrawNonPrintingObjects);
and
SnapshotUtilsEx-> ExportImageToTIFF (iStream)
The resulting tiff has a width of 506 pixels (one pixel more in width). It will happen the same if we start with a width of 507 pixels, etc.
This error does not occur with Indesign CS5, nor Indesing CC.

InDesign CS6.5 Export to .PDF

I have a user who cannot export to a .pdf. If she is logged in locally, the same file exports fine. If she's logged into the network, it errors out to, "Failed to export the PDF file" If she attempts to print to a .PDF, it works fine when logged in locally. When logged into the network it errors out to, "Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem". The user is an Administrator equivalent at both the workstation and network level. The is a new/clean Windows 7 SP1 machine with a clean default full installation of InDesign. Changing printers, preferences, profiles does not change the outcome. Locally it performs fine. Same file, same user. Any ideas?

It looks for me like she want to use "Print" option instead of "Export" option, right? Ask her to use only "Export" option (using joboption). I may be mistaken as it is not clear for me what she is actually try to do. Please elaborate more precisely.

Cannot open .pdf created by InDesign CS6, can open all other .pdfs

I just got InDesign CS6 at work (I use CC at home, but my company could not afford the CC subscription). I'm on PC with the minimum specs for InDesign and Photoshop Elements (also just installed). I have never been able to print to .pdf from InDesign; the program hangs. I have been doing Export to .pdf, press quality with my printer's specs. This has been working fine, except that, on occasion, I have to export the .pdf a few times to get it to open; it will give me an "either not a supported file or damaged" error message. Up until today, I have been able to export 2-3 times and would always get a .pdf that would open.
As of today, I cannot open any .pdf at all; I get that same "not supported or damaged" error message. However, if I let my computer sit idle for about 30 minutes, it will open. In addition, after exporting, InDesign hangs on a background task of "Export " 5" and I have to close out of that task to do anything further in the program.
I have read the forums on these issues and done what I can: I have installed all updates, backsaved to earlier Acrobat versions, exported to .idml, etc. Nothing helps.
I will confess that I am not the most technically-savvy person by any means. My company is small and does not have an IT person, nor is there a budget for calling someone in, so it is up to me and my admittedly limited understanding of this software to fix this issue.
Help?

You may have shown me part of the problem. I can't share one of the files I'm working on, as they're full of images and we have client protections that make sharing problematic, but I did try to recreate a new file with garbage text and graphics and that .pdf opened without any problem.
Could this be a file size issue? The files I'm working on are only 8,900 kb and 200 kb. That doesn't seem too large to me, but perhaps it's enough to cause a problem on my machine.

Mac Acrobat X Pro hangs after InDesign CS6 form export but opens in Preview

Anyone else having this issue?

I guess no one can understand this... I just had the worst tech support "chat" form Adobe I have ever had... theu guy started steering me to make an EPS file to distill. That won't help for interactive. I can export to PRINT PDFs. I can export to INTERACTIVE PDFs. Today, for the first time I had to make a form in InDesign CS6 using the new form tools. I can export the file but Acrobat X Pro hangs trying to open it. I just mentioned Preview to say that I CAN open the file in Preview. I'm just trying to eliminate things. I KNOW Preview is not the right tool...

What is going on??? InDesign crashes when exporting an interactive .pdf!

I created a 24 page interactive form for an iPad in InDesign CS6 for a class project. I used the new buttons and forms feature. Whenever I try to export the form to an interactive pdf InDesign crashes and an unexpected error crash screen comes up. This is very frustrating because I need to export it to view the interactivity. PLEASE HELP ME!!

Can you export it in two halves? If not, does one half export, but the other crash?
Waht's the OS? Is ID patched to 8.0.1?

Problem Exporting - Append to PDF?

Hi
I have a heavy InDesign doc - Full color, many graphics etc. Size is 60MB
We decided to change the size of the book, so I export to PDF, then import the pdf to new doc with new size and fit it to page.
The new doc size is 80 MB
For some reason, when I try exporting the new doc with the placed pdf, I get an error in the middle of the export "Out of Memory"
If anyone has any advice on that - I'd be glad to hear.
Otherwise, I was thinking of making a script to export 50 pages at a time (which does work)
The problem is that I then need another step of combining the files in Acrobat
Is there a way that InDesign can append to an existing PDF?
Thanks
David
P.S. Any other ideas and advice is more than welcome!

Thanks Luc
But it seems that each item needs to be set on its own...?
The pages are set by default to "controlled by master"
The master page was set to "off"
I turned master to "scale", then I enlarged the page size - but the items on the master pages did not scale
How do I get the objects on the master pages to scale with the page size?

ID CS6 Crash exporting to Print PDF in Windows

Hi there,
I am having trouble exporting my indesign file to a high quality pdf document for printing. I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
Current file size of the document is 234 MB, most of the images are linked. But when I try and do an export, it crashes with this error:
(This is in german. It shows the standard error and closing message of windows 7. Adobe Indesign CS6 has stopped working... blahblah)
So I have tried exporting it into other various files (for testing purposes).
Downscaled graphics to 72dpi is crashing.
IDML is crashing.
I have also tried it on another laptop with windows 7, still crashing.
Exporting it without most of the graphics (using a copy I made a few days ago) is working. The filesize of the copy was 13 MB. Fonts and everything else looking good. After this copy I started putting in the graphics.
Interactive PDF (with obviously downscaled graphics) is working.
So any tips on how to get this done? Thanks in advance.

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.

How do I get Adobe InDesign CS6 to export non-pixelated PNGs?

I am having trouble exporting PNGs from Adobe Indesign. The problem is they become very pixelated once they have been exported to PNG. However, when I export to JPEG, there is no pixelation, they look perfect! Has anyone else had this problem?
I need to export them as PNGs because some pages have transparency effects, which JPEG doesn't support.
Is this a bug in Adobe InDesign CS6? Is it a configuration option that I can change?
Below I have provided sample screenshots of the JPEG and PNG files, along with the export settings I used.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

To demonstrate this problem, I've uploaded a sample InDesign project which still exhibits the same PNG export problem:
Click here to download my sample InDesign project.
If anyone is able to generate a non-pixelated PNG from this sample InDesign project, please let me know how you did it.

Indesign crash when exporting file into pdf

Hi, I am having a little problem with my Indesign program. I don't know how to fix it. So this is what happen....
I finish a 2 page file in Indesign and I wanted to export it to pdf. I click on export and it runs for 1 page and then Indesign crash. I thought it was because I have too much images, so it runs very slow. I delete some picture and try again. The same thing happen.
I don't know what I should do?!?! I search around for help but seems like I am the only one that have that problem??

I have run into the occasional image that causes the PDF export to fail. Sometimes they are AI files and sometimes they are PSD files. I usually resave them in different formats and this fixes the problem. I haven't yet figured out the reason that the files cause the PDF export to have problems. Last week I ran into a complicated AI file that just refused to export to PDF in ID. I saved it out of Illustrator as an EPS and then it exported fine out of ID. Typically I don't have problems with AI files, so it may just be an odd image on page one of your document that is causing the problem.
If it prints okay, you might try printing to PDF rather than exporting.
