Indesign makes file bigger as a PDF even though set at a smaller size in Document Setup

Hi there,
When I export my file (which is set to 132mm x 198mm in Document Setup) to PDF, the PDF file is much bigger. In the information panel about the page in Indesign, it says the page is the size I specified it to be, but that the 'media' is 210 x 250 (or something like that). This is the size it comes out as as a PDF. I need the PDF to be 132 x 198 - how can I do this?
Thanks,
Lucy

Did you use the Page tool to change the page dimensions?

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

Letters 'messed up' when InDesign CS4 file is exported to PDF - how to solve?

I hope somebody has had this problem before and knows how to solve.
Situation: Indesign CS4.
Book file, with 130 linked documents. Everything is ready to go to Press.
I exported the book to PDF. Once I opened the PDF, in some of the rows on the text, all letters are 'messed up'!- see screenshots below.
Very strange, since I made several other PDF-exports (up to 20) in the days before - and everything went fine before.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Has it maybe something to do between 'Press quality' and 'Print quality' settings?
The problem seems somehow related to the font, since everything else is just fine.
NOTE: the sentences below you cannot read are NOT made that way by me ;-), to prevent it from being able to read it. This is how it comes out the PDF.

Hello everyone
we had the same problem
exporting CS5 file into PDF seems to work fine but while opening the PDF file :
a) got a message telling the /Widths are corrupted for some fonts
b) when zooming on typos, we can see the approach/kerning is way not perfect between letters
c) on some text lines the letters are completly messed up ( see example below ) :
S O L U T I O N
a) open the CS5 indesign file
b) export as PDF : this PDF will be wrong
c) keep the CS5 indesign file open, don't close it
d) export again as PDF ( different or same name ) this 2nd PDF file will be OK
SO THE SECOND EXPORTED PDF IN A ROW IS OK
NOTE :
exporting as .inx or .idml just give an illusion
you may get an OK PDF in some circonstances
but if you close the indesign file, open it and export it : the first PDF is WRONG
hoping this will help you
please confirm or infirm this "solution"
our configuration
- Mac OSX ( 10.5.8 )
- InDesign CS5 last patched ( NOT 5.5 )
- most of fonts are OpenType ( .otf )
- the problem occurs on some particular files
- i know that these files were exported once through "book" functionnality ( could this explain ? )
Good Luck

HT1152 When exporting photos to file they are being downsized even though i export as origonal jpeg size

When exporting photo files to new folder my computer downsizes them even though I export as origonal jpeg size

Could you please give an example with specifics.
Right click the original and select Get Info. Size is the second line under General.
Do the same for the file after it is moved to the folder.

Grey boxes even though set to high performance display

Hi. I am wondering if there is an incompatability issue. Until today, I have been using CS2 with no problems, on Windows XP. I have now installed CS6 on a laptop with Windows 7 operating system and opened my files. Three problems really...
1) about 95% of my many images (all exported images from my Sibelius 4 programme) are displaying in grey boxes even though I set 'View', 'DIsplay performance' to 'high'
(don't understand why as all my tiff drawings done in Photoshop are showing fine).
next problem...
2). A box comes up when I try to open each document saying...
The documents embedded colour profile does not match the current cmyk working space.
…policy is to discard profiles that do not match
Embedded: Europe iso coated FOGRA27
Working: U.S web coated (swop)
Is this anything to worry about? I have been very careful about my colour choices and want nothing going wrong!
Next problem...
3) So annoying, that even though all the links appear fine (i.e.to begin with there were only a few '!' warning in the links folder, but now since i've 'relinked' those, crazily enough to the same file name, there are none), I keep getting a warning box popping up saying: 'Error encountered while reading Tiff image. Image may be damaged or incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again' . I keep getting the message box randomly sometimes every few seconds so it's impossible to get work done, not that I can anyway since the vast majority of my work is now in grey boxes and can't be deciphered, as already explained, as if something is wrong with the performance display.
Regarding the display performance, could it be a problem that my machine isn't up to it? I.e. The processing speed. It's quite new though, Dell , Inspiron, 5720.i know nothing about this.
Stuck. Please help!!! Many thanks,
Zylo
P.S> Also worth adding that the 'edit link' feature for my SIbelius images is not working (but is for the Tiff drawings - i.e. I right click, edit link, then it takes me to the original file to edit). Hope this all makes sense!

I would like to inform Adobe staff that it IS most definitely a problem/bug in the CS6 software. It has caused me immense frustration and worry especially as over ten years work was at stake! (a series of books I have written, all using Adobe Indesign CS2 in conjunction with Sibelius 4, importing more than a thousand EPS files!). I find it very disappointing that Adobe have not fixed this problem in CS6 and the new CC2014, despite the fact the bug was reported at least twice previously by people using CS5, both of them using EPS files from Sibelius.
Whilst writing this thread, I have also been corresponding with a very helpful person on the Sibelius help forum. They discovered the problem was not with the EPS files at all: the problem was with the InDesign .indd files themselves, and a bug in InDesign.
Whenever an old version of an .indd file is read into a later version of InDesign, the file format is updated to the latest version. But, if the .indd file contains placed graphics originating from Sibelius (maybe only versions up to 6), the update process results in corruption of the .indd file, which becomes unusable and might even crash InDesign.
The work-around is to export the corrupted .indd file into .idml format, and then re-import the .idml file. (This operation strips out all the TIFF previews of placed graphics, which is where the problems reside). The re-imported file is then happy to re-link to all the EPS graphics from Sibelius, and the InDesign project is recovered.
Here are previous reports of this InDesign bug:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/966318
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1146504
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1188433
An explanation of the work-around:
http://www.creativeprogression.com/idx-idml-troubleshooting/
In summary; the way around this bug is as follows…
- on the new PC, open a troublesome InDesign file into Indesign CS6, and
ignore all the errors;
- In InDesign, choose File -> Export;
- In the drop-down at the bottom of the Export dialogue, choose "InDesign
Markup (IDML)", in the File name box choose a helpful name, and click Save;
- In InDesign, File -> Close the bad document;
- In Indesign, File -> Open the .idml document you just created two steps
above;
- the document will open with all graphics replaced with grey boxes, but
hopefully no error messages;
- you can then re-link all the placed EPS graphics, hopefully in one fell
swoop for the whole file;
- now save the document as an InDesign .indd file: but take care not to
overwrite any of your older InDesign files: you might need them again one
day.
This procedure works because the .IDML export strips out the TIFF previews
of the graphics which are normally embedded in the .INDD file, and it is
those TIFF previews from CS2 which are causing the problem. Re-linking the
EPS files generates new TIFF previews in CS6.
MEANWHILE, Adobe software people, PLEASE fix this long overdue bug!
Hope this thread is helpful for any others who have also experience the same problem.

Call showing as abandoned even though set to handled

UCCX version 8.5.1.11004-25
In our script we're allowing callers on hold to request a call back. This is achieved by inserting a menu option with prompt to push 1 and a redirect to another script that records number and message.
All works great but all calls that request call back show as abandoned even though we've inserted a "Set contact info" to handled in the successful section of the re-direct.
Again just to state my question is around reporting (the actual call back function works great)
In reporting the cal still shows up in the abandoned report, my understanding was that by setting the contact info to handled before the redirect it would stop this happening.
Also have tested moving the "Set contact into" up to the "ReqCallback" option in the menu.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

The Set Contact Info step cannot be used to mark a Contact as Handled from an ACD metrics perspective. The only thing that can influence the CSQ metric for Handled is if an Agent answers the call.
The Set Contact Info step will mark the Contact as Handled from an IVR metrics perspective.
What you might want to do is, use the Dequeue step, and possibly one of the Custom Call Variables to mark the call appropriately.
Let me know if that makes sense to you, or if I wasn't clear enough.

Podcasts Sync even though setting is off

iTunes 8, iPhone 3G 2.1
Even though my Sync Podcasts option is unchecked, video podcasts sync to my iPhone anyway. Has anyone else noticed this? It has done it since I got the 3G, my 1st Gen iPhone didn't have the issue. Issue was present prior to iTunes 8 as well.

Beats me. I now explicitly save every episode just after downloading. Some sort of simple switch to keep everything would be nice.

Showing rejected images even though set not to????

I am not exactly sure how I did this, but I am playing around and it is showing the rejects (inside a stack) even though I have it set to unrated or higher. Any ideas???
Thanks in advance,
Alan

Hello, Steve
Quote: "You can use a filter to find images in stacks, but usually the pick is the controlling rating.
See this article (near the bottom):"
Even with "Ignore Stack groupings" selected I could not get this to work at the root level of the Library, unless I am mistaken I don't think this can be done. After several experiments I could not get rejects inside Stacks to show up when searching at the root level of the Library. Nice article btw

If you want to read pdf files in adobe. You need to add adf files to adobe directly. For this you need to connect your device and go to apps section. In that section select adobe then right side you will get a window. In that window you can add pdf files.

CS5 file printing at 50% opacity, even though all layers are at 100% opacity! HELP

Hi,
I'm having some SERIOUS issues with InDesign at the moment. I'm quite well versed with the program, and have never encountered this issue before - I am at a loss at what to do or how to fix it.
I've been designing a magazine layout for a University assignment - the file/template was downloaded from the Uni website, and had 1 existing layer which we could not alter. I've then added a number of other layers of images, text, shapes etc. Some which have various drop shadows and effects on top.
When I went to test print the layout, I noticed that it was though it had been set at 50% opacity - everything was see through and I could see multiple layers of colours. I thought that I had perhaps accidentally mucked with the settings, but after double checking, I was baffled. Originally I had exported it as a high quality PDF file, so I then tried printing it as a CS5 file straight from my mac - I got the same result. I've since tried both the PDF and .idml files on both mac and pc, but nothing seems to change.
The odd thing is, on my screen, both PDF and .idml files are at 100% opacity and vibrant blocks of colour - I am quite confident that the settings on the layers are all at 100%, but I still cannot seem to fix it.
Some advice or answers would be extremely valuable! I have the chance to resubmit, so I'd like to know how to fix it, if possible!
Thanks

I'm not really sure what to show you.
In overprint view it looks wrong - 50% opacity - i think we're on the right track!
That's it in overprint view (above)
That's how it's supposed to look - I'm not sure if you can see the difference though, it's not very clear.

Cannot use "convert to PDF" even though I'm subscribed

I am subscribed to Adobe PDF pack (I am correctly signed in using the right profile, and the subscription is showing in my account in the Adobe app). When I click on the convert to PDF button in order to convert a Word file to PDF a query box appears asking whether I want to subscribe. If I click cancel, and try the function again, the box reappears. If I choose the other option which is "confirm", I get a message saying that I have a current subscription set to auto renew. I click ok but the query box doesn't go away. If I click cancel, the function button still cannot be used - I just keep getting the same query box. I am using an iPad Air ver 7.0.4. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for trying to help but your instructions do not work. I signed out, then signed back in. I then clicked on a document (.doc) to convert. I clicked the convert button (second from the top right). A box appears titled "convert to PDF". It has a "cancel" link at the top right. If I click that, I can go no further and the box reappears. If I click subscribe, it asks me to subscribe, which I already have. If I click cancel, nothing happens - the subscription box stays. If I click confirm subscribe and enter my Apple Store details, the box stays. If I then click cancel to get rid of the box and then click convert, the subscribe box reappears.

Shared folder files open as read only even though they are set up as read write

Hello, I've recently purchased a iMac to work alongside my mac book pro. Primarily, i want this for ease of use at home and as a 'back up' to my pro should anything happen.
I have a number of folders and files on my pro that I wish to access on the iMac and have set up shared folders to enable this with a new profile and read/write permissions. This all works fine until I open the document, make changes then find that I have to save as a different name as the files open as 'read only'?
Is there anything I've missed? I would of expected 'read/write' permissions to enable me to save files as edited?
Any help appreciated otherwise, I'll have to resort to copying files between machines which would be a major dissapointment!
Thanks in advance

Found the solution...basically the permissions are not automatically cascaded down to sub folders and files so you have to do the following... modified from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2743520?start=0&tstart=0
On the folder that you would like to change, select the Get Info and then click on the cogwheel at the bottom of the Get Info dialog.
Click on the menu pick "Apply to enclosed items ..." and confirm the warning message.
Then the same read & write permissions are applied to all the subfolders of the selected folder.
