InDesign issue outputting pdf's with EPS in file.

So just recently one of my files that has an .eps placed in it was getting errors exporting to pdf, it used to work fine in one of the files I had it. I even re-created the .eps and replaced it to see if it would work. This file had the same problem on another MBP as well. It exports fine when i resave the exact .eps as an .ai, so Im curious if anyone else had problems with any exports like this.
The really strange thing is that another file very similiar with a different placed .eps in it (the .eps are both UPC's) will work fine. It seems like it is a corrupt file, but I have literally rebuilt the entire file and it does it every time.
I am using CS2, with all the latest updates.

Ok, thats falls in line with what I have done.
So then, how do I export to .idml? ... Im not seeing that as an export option (CS5). <-- Found it, its under export, just didn't see it. Ill be back and post results.
-------------------------- STATUS, WORKS.
SO: Export the .indd file as an InDesign Markup file. Close the original .indd w/o saving. Open the newly created InDesign Markup file and re-save it as the .indd that you want to export. After re-saving, re-export the newly saved .indd. IT WILL NAME IT CORRECTLY... Thanks, that was driving me nuts.
Hey, and thanks for the SUPER QUICK response.

Opening 2 PDF's with the same file name

I have someone who has difficulty opening two PDF's with the same file name. They had a file open, then try to open another PDF document with the same file name as the original document, however it will not open (and no error displays) and reverts back to the "old" document. Any ideas?

Are this diferent documents? What version of Adobe Reader?

Placed .png files in look blurry in InDesign CS6 & output PDF

I'm brand new to InDesign...just learned it yesterday. I'm using CS6. However, I think I'm following best practices as I've watched many instructional videos and have a folder of images I'm using in the document which I place in the document using "File" -> "Place." I've both put them into frames that already exist (and used "Object" -> "Fitting" and often "Fit frame proportionally" but also other commands) as well as without a frame where I drag a window the size I'd like the file to be after I've loaded up my cursor using "File" -> "Place."
I'm at a loss as my files are 72 DPI and 144 DPI (I'm on a Mac and have checked them out both in Photoshop and using "Tools" -> "Inspector" in Preview) and I have NO idea why they look so terrible in both InDesign and my output pdf! I'm attaching both the files I'm placing and screenshots of what they look like in the output .PDF.
Thanks SO MUCH for any help anyone can give me--I'm working on an urgent project and must figure this out!

This info was quite helpful--thanks everyone!
First of all, I'm not entirely sure I chose the right tool for this job, and advice on this would be welcome. I wanted a document of portfolio pages formatted sort of like a book, so I thought it would be better to use InDesign rather than something like Photoshop or Illustrator (I've learned these tools in the last year but haven't really used them to create documents). My primary goal, however, was to present this information both from my computer and on my website, and a secondary goal was for it to be able to print nicely. So I thought InDesign was the right choice. (I read this article from 2010: Adobe Photoshop vs. Illustrator vs. Indesign | Dream Infinity Studios / Chris Takakura | Art Direction + Design to get some guidance...hopefully most of it is still relevant.) Because of that I wasn't sure whether to use "Intent" -> "Print" or "Intent" -> "Web", so I went with web with a 1024 x 768 page size, hoping that will look OK for desktop (not professional) printing. What do people do when they want something to function in both domains? Not sure if that could have affected anything about the way these images were placed...
In terms of finding a solution:
1. I was using High Quality Display--it was more an issue with my output document. (Though strangely sometimes when I toggle between high-quality & typical displays, sometimes things that looked good when I was working on them in high quality, after toggling to typical and back, look horrid.)
2. It seemed at first that it might be an issue of the way I placed the files, e.g. I was positioning my cursor OUTSIDE any sort of field and dragging a square to the size I wanted my image to be. I'm wondering if it somehow reduced the image size because if I create the square using the "Rectangle Frame Tool" it seemed to work much better. I've also tried just dropping the file without the frame tool and resizing it that way, but my images are actually VERY long & wide, so that's difficult. I was also wondering the "fitting" option I chose may have been affecting the display...I've been trying "Fitting" -> "Fit Content Proportionally" lately.
3. I created some .pdfs of some of the pings from Omnigraffle, and that seemed to help, but that actually makes them look worse because there are screenshots within the OmniGraffle mock-up files which are washed out and pixelated and the text that was added on top stands out too much (see attached screenshot...the one on top is a PDF and the header and footer looks funny and the bottom is a PNG where at least everything looks consistent).
So though some files look better now (especially, ironically enough, the 72 DPI screenshot of Use Cases!), I can't figure out what process I should follow to get consistently good results. Because a) the mockup files look good when I first paste them, and b) they are longer and wider than the content area I'm using and I'm shrinking them significantly, I cannot figure out why I can't keep that level of detail after they've been shrunk to fit. I keep wondering if I'm placing image properly, shrinking them properly, or those Fitting settings properly...

Email PDF along with upload of files

I have a PDF form that the user will complete. On that form I have a submit button that submits the data to a JSP page that creates the PDF data into a FDF file on the server. I can create an email and attach that file and send it with no problem.
My issue is that I need to let the users be able to attach more files to this email after they complete the PDF Form. How can I best accomplish this?
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
~Tracey

Add one or multiple file upload in your form. Then parse uploaded file(s) and attach them to your email.
For upload you could try UploadBean :
http://www.javazoom.net/jzservlets/uploadbean/uploadbean.html
For attachment sample see UploadBean add-ons :
http://www.javazoom.net/jzservlets/uploadbean/uploadbeantools.html
(See notifyMe).

Filling PDF Form with XML data file

Hello everybody.
I need help.
I created a form with LiveCycle Designer. I filled it and generated a XML data files. Now, I would like to fill the same blank PDF form with this XML data file.
I know that I can do it with Adobe 8.0 but I must do it in an C# / .NET application that I have to create.
(Forms I'm creating are not for me, I create the forms. Client uses them form but he don't have Adobe Acrobat 8.0, so he can't realise the automatic PDF filling with Adobe Acrobat 8.0)
So I am looking for help with ".NET" "COM" or other library to help me to do it. If someone has other idea just give it.
Thanks for your reply
Jean Pierre (sorry for my bad English)

Hello Mike
Thank's for your reply. I used XPAAJ and it works very well but my company his develloping software with C# langage.
I tried to convert XPPAJ to C#, I did it with the Java Langage Conversion Assistant but "Adobe Library" included in jar files cannot be translated to C#/.NET library. So, I can't use it.
I found some C#/.NET API on the NET but they are very expensive and my company don't want to pay. They want me to create my own solution with library given by Adobe when you buy Adobe 8. So I am looking for this library.
Is there an Adobe LiveCycle Designer SDK to help me.
Thank you in advance for your reply

Reader X issues Viewing PDF's with IE downloads turned off

First off, Our company has a policy that Internet downloads are turned off through GP for IE. We recently upgraded from Adobe 6.06 (had active x control to view PDF's online) to adobe X. We are looking for a way to view PDF's through the IE 8 browser with file Downloads disabled. When trying to view a PDF on the Web, we get "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded". Previously, the active x control in reader 6.x allowed viewing PDF's on the web. Is there any way to allow this in adobe X? can code be written to alleviate this? Is there a solution? HELP anyone please. It's driving me NUTTY!!

Cyberdawg,
Try to turn off anything that enhances speeds his video through the video driver. That is most likely the problem..

Text wrap with EPS graphic files

I'm using ID CS3 v5 with Mac OS Leopard 10.5.6.
I am trying to use the TEXTWRAP panel with an EPS graphic that has been imported into the text.
When I select the graphic and go to the text wrap panel none of the options are available to me - if I hover the cursor over any of the 5 options it changes to a NO ENTRY sign.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I too am trying to get various InLine (graphic) objects…
-- to flow with text (got it!), AND
-- have surrounding text wrap around them as they move (no luck so far).
It seems like this should be easy, but I too have failed to be able to figure it out.
I do know that objects that are NOT inline can easily have text flow around them, but I'm sure hoping that InLine objects can too.
Can anyone tell me (us) if InDesign can do what I'm/we're asking, and if so, HOW?
I'm using ID CS4 on a G5 iMac running Tiger.
Thanks in advance for any replies!

Output each page with a custom file name

We have 150 photos to place in an Indesign file with Data Merge. Each page has: the photo, the name and surname.
Is it possible the export these pages as separate files but named with the file name of the photo?
gert

Sure it's possible. Try this -- don't forget to adjsut the export path and PDF preset name.
exportPath = "c:/temp"; // Adjust to fit!
exportPreset = "My Favourite Preset"; // Adjust to fit!
for (p=0; p < app.activeDocument.pages.length; p++)
processPage(app.activeDocument.pages[p]);
function processPage (a_page)
var i, link;
for (i=0; i<a_page.allGraphics.length; i++)
    if (a_page.allGraphics[i].itemLink.isValid)
      linkname = File(a_page.allGraphics[i].itemLink.filePath);
      app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = a_page.name;
      app.activeDocument.exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File(exportPath+'/'+linkname.name.replace(/(\.[^.]+)$/, '.pdf')), false, app.pdfExportPresets.item(exportPreset));
      return;

Output PDF on file system? (EBS)

Hi all,
When you run a BI Publisher report with a concurrent program, is the output PDF stored somewhere on the file system? (Where..) Thanks in advance!
Best Regards, Matilda Smeds

Thanks for the replies! I had found the out-file (xml file) previously. I wasn't aware that there was a separate table for the final outputs, though it is quite essential knowledge. Also, it is good to know the pdf also resides on the file system. Thanks again, to both of you.
Best Regards, Matilda

Get Windows message "Terminate 5-1" after printing pdf reports with Orarrp

Hi,
I get error message "Terminate 5-1" on clients machine after pdf report is printed with Orarrp.
The clients is Windows XP with acrobat reader 5.
I test on acrobat reader 6 and get the same result.
This occur for all pdf reports and all clients.
However this message just shows when perform printing, if I cancel printing from print dialog box then this message does not show.
How can I avoid this message?
Thanks in advance
Tawatchai R.
===================
Hi,
I have same error message(Message Title: TerminateProcess Value; Message Body: 5-1) showing up when using Orarrp to print directly to printer on WEB using Oracle Forms. On my pc it shows when I have adobe acrobat reader opened up already and on others it may shows even if adobe acrobat is not already opened. However document gets printed but this is very annoying for the user to see this message.
Client Environments:
1. Windows XP, HP LaserJet 5P and HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL, Adobe Acrobat 6.0
2. Windows 2000 Professional, HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL, Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and 6.0
Thanks
Kulwinder Sidhu

Hi Kulwinder,
We are getting this problem whenever we go through the following steps:
- Generate a PDF report without an ORARRP file extension on a dedicated reports server. Preview the report by opening in Adobe Reader using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT.
- Generate a PDF report with a ORARRP file extension of rrpa on a dedicated reports server. Directly print the report without a print dialog box using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to invoke ORARRP.
After printing the Terminate Process 5-1 message appears and Adobe is left running. If the first step is missed out then printing occurs without error and Adobe closes automatically.
Please could you give more information on how you solved the problem. I am using Windows XP and Adobe 7.
Thanks,
Pete

InDesign - exporting interactive pdf with page curls issues

I followed a Rufus Deuchler adobe tv video called "InDesign: creating interactive pdfs with page turn and flash animations" and I was able to create an Interactive Pdf document with page culrs but it is limited to only my mac Book Air as when I sent it as an attachment (pdf) it did not work on any other PC or mac.
Have I missed the point or have I not done something as I thought the video mentioned that any adobe reader could view the interactive pdf (ie on other PCs or tablets)?
Thanks
David

Only Adobe Acrobat or Reader can show those PDFs (and many others) correctly. Are you sure that the PDF was opened in one of these 2 applications and not in Apple Preview or Ghostviewer or something else?
Only Adobe Reader 9 and X and Acrobat 9 and X can show PDFs with Flash content correctly. If you have an older version, let us say Version 8 or older, you are not able to see Flash content at all. If you have a newer version, that is Reader XI or Acrobat XI you need additional Adobe Flash player have installed on that computer and allow access to your PDFs. Can you check, if these substantial requirement are fulfilled?

Indesign CS4 to PDF 1.3 transparency issue

We submitted an ad to the local newspaper that we created in Indesign CS4 and Acrobat 9. The ad was exported as a press-quality Acrobat 4 PDF.
It is a fairly simple layout, with type and a logo.
The headline and logo have a drop shadow applied with multiply blend mode. All colors are CMYK.
When the ad prints, the headline and logo have 1% black-filled boxes around them.
I know this is a transparency issue. However, we've done the same ad in Indesign CS3 and Acrobat 8 with no problems as long as we were CMYK and Acrobat 4.
Has something changed in CS4 that I don't know about? Could it be the multiply blend mode rather than normal?
Problem is, the newspaper can't give me a proof -- we have to wait and see what happens when they print. I can't simulate the problem on my end. The ad prints perfectly on my HP5000N in b/w and on my Phaser 8560 in color.
One workaround suggested was to export the file as a JPG or EPS and save as a Photoshop PDF. We did that on one ad that will run Monday, so we'll see. However, that makes the files with photos enormous -- like from 4 mb to 26 mb.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. We're in the middle of an ad campaign and we're resorted to the old-fashioned manual drop shadow out of desperation!

Has something changed in CS4 that I don't know about? Could it be the multiply blend mode rather than normal?
Something did change. In some cases (maybe all), the flattener in CS4 will put the shadow behind the background rather than in front. In both cases, though, using a RIP and/or viewer which is set to honor overprints will avoid the problem, and allow the artwork to render correctly.
You say that all colors are CMYK. Are you absolutely certain that the background (whatever the rectangular shadow-containing "boxes" knock out) is not a spot color? Your problem description would be more easily explicable if it were.

This in itself suggests that these folks do not know what they are doing (though I know that's not terribly helpful to you if you need to advertise with them). I must say that given current economic realities in the newspaper business, it's hard to image a paper refusing to cooperate with a paying advertiser - especially one who has been previously bitten - if not by the newspaper's own incompetence, at least by their unwillingness/inability to provide a proof.

Embedding video in InDesign for a PDF output

I've been trying to embed videos in InDesign to output them as a PDF with video.
I've followed the tutorials but the final PDF has only the poster frames — they won't play.
One thing I have noticed is that the tutorials say to choose "Object>Interactive>Movie Options.
When I open the Interactive menu, no such options appear; only references to buttons. I have tried it in different workspaces: Interactive, Advanced, and Interactive For PDF. Same result in all of them.
I have the latest Indesign and Quicktime. I have tried embedding both H.264 and flash videos. Same result for all. I also tried exporting as "Interactive PDF" which is worse — even the poster frames don't appear.
What am I missing?

You need to export as PDF (Interactive) and you also need to view the PDF in Reader or Acrobat 9 or later.
