Indesign fails to export PDF

I'm finishing a book: 12 chapters. The publisher requires a PDF for the printer and my deadline is tomorrow. I've exported press quality PDFs many times, as recently as two days ago. Now when I export it always hangs on the same page in chapter 10. If I omit that chapter, everything exports fine. If I export that chapter by itself: no problem. Even stranger — I can export the first 12 documents just fine. But then I can export the last last five (including the problem chapter), and they also export just fine.
I even tried building a new chapter by starting with a fresh template and dragging all the text and photographs from the old chapter. Very odd: I exported the whole book and it all worked! But then I made a few minor adjustments, and now even this new fresh document causes the same problem.
Any ideas?

"Failed to Export PDF"

Dear Friends,
when trying to export a document in Indesign CS4 as PDF-file, I get an error message:
Adobe InDesign
Failed to Export PDF.
OK
After dismissing this dialog, the export-process quits and no PDF-file is created.
There aren't any further notice-, warning- or error messages.
The document itself should be valid, no links are missing or update-needing and all in used fonts are available on the system Indesign is running.
I had already searched for a solution, or at least a reason for this error message, and found the following pages, dealing with that error message:
"Failed to Export PDF" when you downsample large images while exporting to PDF (InDesign)
I disabled downsampling in PDF-export dialogue as it is mentioned in the help file, but the error message still occures.
InDesign error "failed to export the pdf file"
I ungrouped everything by selecting all objects on each of these two pages and ungrouping as many times as the option was available as it is described on the page, but the error still stays.
Interestingly, removing the second sheet (=page) of this originally two sheet consisting Indesign document leads to a successful PDF-document export.
But I want to export both sheets, not only the first one, into one single PDF-document.
So there must be probably something on sheet number two which prevents a successful PDF-document export resulting in the error message mentioned above.
Because there are no further informations provided except that the export failed, it is not very easy to track down the reason for this problem.
Is there a log file for export or general application issues?
Maybe you have also experienced this error during the past and maybe even know some walkaround or hint which could lead to the reason?
Thank you for your answers in advance!
With best regards

Thank you for your answers!
Exporting page 2 alone leads to an PDF-export-error.
The error happens when PDF-file finalization is in progress.
I found out that embedded PSD-files caused the problem.
After un-embedding them, the PDF-export worked well, also for both pages.
Now however, there are still some questions open:
Why do embedded PSD-files cause an export-failure during PDF-export?
Why aren't any information given to user about this failure?
With best regards

I just updated my Indesign to CC14 and now I cannot export to anything - Failed to export PDF file

I just updated my Indesign to CC14 and now I cannot export to anything - Failed to export PDF file@

No error message it goes through the actions and then in the background task it shows error. I have tried to export to pdf, jpeg anything and nothing is product. I have tried highquality, low quality settings (all of them) and nothing.

Failed to Export pdf despite having done so very recently?

I'm currently putting together a 60 page book and for weeks previously, I've been able to export it as a high quality pdf for test prints and analysis but for some reason last night, when I put in the final image for the book, it gives me this 'Failed to Export Pdf' message, despite me making a pdf of the final-imageless version a half hour ago. When I removed the final image from the document, it still gives me the same error message. When I tried to hunt down what page is giving it the most problem, it seemed to be a page that was previously just fine according to inDesign? And when I tried to work with an older version of the document to see if I can work from that one, it gives me the same problem. It SHOULD be fine but for some reason it isn't.
I use Windows 7 and I have inDesign CS2.

Asiide from CS2 not being supported on Windows 7, so you're pretty much on your own, see Adobe Community: File Crashing on Output - printing/PDF/other for troubleshooting tips.

Error "Failed to Export PDF" with big image on CS6 (32) and CC (64)

Hi everyone,
I'm on indesign CS6 (v8.0.2) and when I try to export pdf with a very big image ( *.tiff, 25000*35000 pixels, ) , the action failed with this message :" Failed to export a PDF".
To be sure that there is no any corrupted elements, I made a very simple layout (one page , and just one element for my image,I turnoff prefilgth and all ressource intensive options, and export with no downsampling or resampling) and try to export with different size image:with 20000*30000 -or smaller -image the export works, always failed with image .The export failed to in scripting mode.
If I diveded my image in four , the export works but this solution is not convenient (I actually made tests for a fully automatised process, and we want to be sure that the indesign component is enough "safe")
I try the same action with an evaluation version of indesign CC 64 bits (v9.2) and have the same behavior.
I can imagine that there is a memory issue there, but my config seems to be strong ( windows server 64 with 16GB ram, DD with more than 100GB free). I don't undersant why-in a "full" 64 bit environnement- it is not possible to manipulate and export very large image ?
I'm wonder If the background task is a part of the problem, and if it 's possible to disable it in CS6 or CC as in cs5 ( creates an “DisableAsyncExports.txt” file in Adobe InDesign executable directoty don't seems to disable it in CC or CS6).
Thank you for your help and good ideas..
DC.

this is a .tif (not a "big"tiff) compressed in LZW or ZIP.
I just tried with another format (png), the error is the same...

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.

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."

Pages fails to export PDF

I am receiving an "Unable to print" error when I attempt to export a document to PDF format. The PDF appears in Finder, but has a zero file size. I have run into this problem only recently, as I was able to export PDFs of similar documents before (about a month ago.) Does anyone know why this may be happening?

I tried this with a new - blank Pages file with just one word on it. It still fails to export with a "print error". The work around of using Print and saving as a PDF does not address my problem. I want to Export to PDF so that my Links and bookmarks are preserved in PDF. Printing only gets the image of my Pages file to PDF but with no special features.
Has anyone resolved this export problem yet? Could it be a bad or corupt preference file or similar system file conflict. I have seen sometimes where in some apps you can delete certain preferences and resources and then re-run to correct the problem..... could this apply to Pages and what would be removed to make it work?

Fail to export PDF suddenly

Post Author: tangpotato
CA Forum: Exporting
Hi,I have a VB6 exe which runs a Crystal Reports for exporting PDF files.This exe is run every night on a scheduled job machine running Windows 2000 and Crystal Reports 8.5 for years.The machine does not have Crystal Reports SP3 installed on it yet.Recently, the scheduled job has stopped working and I managed to figure out that its failing on the export command ( crpReport.Export (False) ) whenit trys to export the Crystal report to a PDF.
Remarks: the exe (scheduled job) which runs a Crystal Reports for exporting excel and RTF files runs properly.The error message is..."-2147190908 Failed to export the report"
As far as I know, nothing has changed on the machine. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hyperion IR BQY job run successful few month but recently failed to export pdf and sending email

Anyone have encountered the problem that the BQY jobs which are running more than 3 years successfully. But recently no one update the report, but the job export keep failing to send result pdf to receivers intermittently.
It shouldn't be BQY job itself problem. Because this job has running years and fine. Only recent days comes out this problem. And user manually run the report can also be successful.
After checking the server log, find out that Hyperion IR retrieved data successfully but export-excel/bqy type file all works except pdf format. And in one week, some day it works fine. Some day it failed.
Trace in workspace job schedule log, it saying:
Emailing section 'xxxxxx' as 'PDF' to:
[email protected]
[email protected]
Export failed with unknown error.
And checked the server_message_IRJobService.log it just saying:
Error in export.[[
And
TCApp::ExecuteJavaScript failed:
We stuck at this error for a period of time. Anyone can help? Oracle Support has mentioned it might be system performance issue. Will keep an eye on this issue, to see any solution can be find.

Hi RamKumar,
Thank you very much for your inputs. We haven't tried
Increase the memory for the Hyperion Framework Services
will test and see if it can solve the problem. For 'Hyperion Framework Service', do you mean 'Reporting and Analysis Framework'?
We only tried increase the parameter of "Job Service" and "Intelligence Service" which called Dynamic Service Properties set to "PROCESS_MEMORY_LIMIT=2500MB". But seems hyperion this 32bit application only can reach to 2047MB.
Our EPM version is 11.1.2.1.600.07.
a. We have increased the memory from 24G to 48G and add more memory for JobService (now it has 2 GB memory).
     For the provided solution.
     Set the filters in the query to return smaller amount of data
     We are still working on, but it seems slightly solve the "Error in export" problem.
b. We have confirmed the SMTP Server configuration is correct. So this solution not fit for our case. As the trouble job has been running more than 3 years, until recent month it starts with this error. And the job failed this error only happens intermittently e.g. Monday,Tuesday,Friday it all works fine(Proved the job it self is OK) but Wednesday some period, it failed to export. So we are thinking it might the hyperion performance issue.
For the KM reference:
Interactive Reporting (IR) Jobs do not Send Emails. Error: "Export failed. Error Sending Mail" (Doc ID 1401854.1)
We have already read and checked, we do have correct configuration.
Interactive Reporting Job Completing With Javascript Errors - Not Producing Excel Output (Doc ID 1065483.1)
Our case is customer can successful extract data and send excel/bqy result to customer with no problem. But it failed to send pdf result sometime.
Thanks and Regards,

URGENT indesign fails to export interactive pdf of 700 pages

Hi everyone!
This is my first time asking directly for help in the adobe forum, but god nows how many times i found good advice here before, searching for answers to rather simple AND complex questions.
My problem is:
I have a book made out of 17 files, summing a total of 706 pages.
This entire thing is supposed to be interactive - kind of a "consult on the go users manual" for in-house use at a company.
when i export the book in its total to an interactive .pdf (smallest version, 72 dpi) at about 405 pages it just stops, says that "an error ocurred exporting the .pdf file" and shuts down exporting (not the program though). (It also does not specify the error nor give an error report. it just stops and deletes the half-created pdf-file)
BUT if i export every file on its own as an individual interactive .pdf it works just fine and no problems appear.
my question now is: maybe indesign just not capable of exporting such a large interactive file? (with "only appearance" checked, it works just fine)
the larges file we did in the studio was about 350 pages long - and if i export the book in "2 sessions" (two documents of 350 pages) it takes quite a long time (about half an hour after getting past the last page) but in the end it works.
i thought about combining the various individual (working) pdf documents - but the links/buttons/etc. get all messed up.
has this happened to anybody?
does anybody know how to solve that problem - and if not, if there even is a way? at my understanding right now, it is just not possibe to export an interactive pdf of more than 400 pages from indesign.
supposedly i have to turn that document in tomorrow midday (european time) so it can be saved onto usb-pendrives for distribution... but right now i'm VERY lost.
i'd appreciate some advice, and even if it is a straight "it's not possible, too large of a document" would be nice just to get things in my head a little clearer and confront the client with what's REALLY posssible and what is simply not doeable.
THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!
Stephanie
p.s.: despite all the problems (mainly caused by outrageous client/marketing demands) nobody will ever get me hating on inDesign - just gotta looooove that program!

i ended up changing the system after talking to an adobe engineer as she told me that given the high page number and the awfully heigh number of buttons // links per page (from 10 up to 35) it seemed to be a problem for the program to process all that info. not because of the computers "strengths" but simply because of the complexity of the document.
now i ended up conserving only a few links and resolved the rest with "markers" (is it called like that in english? -> the ones that appear in the sidebar of the .pdf in acrobat and let you jump directly to the page to which they referr)
Thank you for all your support and quick answers (i didn't think it would be that inmediate!).
Definitely going to pay more attention to this forum and give a look around to see if i can help somebody too.
See you!
Steph
p.s.: i thought of that option, but at about 6-12 cross-document buttons per page in a document of 700... i didn't want to get into that mess. if the document weren't as complex it would have been the solution!

Indesign Crashes when exporting PDF

Hi,
We are experiencing an issue when exporting an .indd file as .pdf. The process gets as far as a certain page (8 out of 13) and then crashes when reading a pdf image from that page. It does one of two things - it crashes or displays an 'out of memory' message. We had task manager running alongside the program to check memory usage and there are no major spikes during the export process (it doesn't even hit 80%)
- We can export every other page in the document except this one
- The export works without marks & bleeds enabled (not really sure of the terminology so I do apologise)
The document is going off to print so the pdf image has to be of high resolution. Does anyone have any ideas as to how we can get around this issue?
The INdesign package is CS4 (32bit) and the pc has 4GB of RAM
Any assistance would be much appreciated

Friends I'm reading all the posts, but I have the same problem. My Indesign crashes exporting a document of 60 pages into pdf.
Can anybody help me please? The next week I have to deliver the project. Thank you!

Failed to export PDF file

I have a 10-page color doc in InDesign CS4 that has exported to PDF dozens of times without issue. Other, similarly complicated PDFs work fine.
Some of the photos are at 10 per cent size in the InDesign doc (pages are very small).
I did a 'save-as' to clear out junk and worked on the file with the new name,
Even taking all the pictures out of the doc won't allow it to export.
The same doc will export on my computer at home.
I've trashed InDesign prefs and restarted.
Any ideas?

Yes, I have a different username at home.
OS at work, where the file won't export, is OSX 10.8.3. Probably same at home. Both computers are recent iMacs; one's a 21-inch, the other' a 27-inch.

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.

InDesign CS2 not exporting PDF (Vista)

I just got a new desktop computer at work with Windows Vista Business. Unfortunately there was not budget for the CS4 upgrade, so after reinstalling the Adobe Creative Suite 2 and copying over all my preferences and pdf job files, I thought I was all set to go. I loaded all my pdf .joboption files, locating the temp folder I copied them into and loading through InDesign (File | Adobe PDF Presets | Load), and then proceeded to try to export a PDF. Nothing happened. I know there is nothing wrong with my .joboption files because I've used them at work and used them at home (both WinXP systems) up until the very last day that I got my new computer setup.
I was able to export a PDF using the default .joboptions that came with InDesign. So, I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm guessing it's something to do with Vista, perhaps the location or a file setting or something. Has anyone run into this and how do I fix it? This is impacting my work and it is highly critical that I fix it, ASAP. Please help.
thanks,
Kathleen

Unfortunately I am well aware that CS2 is not supported on Vista and that I am flying in the dark here. So far as day 1 goes, I am not experiencing any issues with InDesign, Photoshop, or Illustrator yet, with the exception of the PDF export issues. I have a couple ideas about that though, so hopefully I get it resolved soon.
