InDesign not exporting booklet to PDF properly - bleed issues.

I have created a 32-page booklet that I am trying to send to the printer. It has bleed on each page that I am including in the PDF export. No matter what I do, the bleed is showing up on the wrong page. So, if I am looking at page 18, it will show the proper content for that page, but the bleed will be from page 19. Page 19 will have page 18's bleed. See below. I need to order this booklet asap and really don't know what the issue is. Does anyone have an idea what this could be?

This is completely normal - it's outside the trim area of the page - and it's into the spine, even if a sliver of material was left over, it would be hidden into the spine anyway.
If you don't want it to appear you can choose PDF settings
Marks and Bleeds> and change the Inside Bleed to 0

InDesign CS6 exporting to Adobe PDF (Interactive)

Created an interactive form in InDesign CS6, but when I export to a PDF file, using Adobe PDF (Interactive), the purple bar "Please fill out the following form…" is not visible in my PDF file.
PLEASE NOTE: My Adobe Acrobat Pro preferences do not have the check mark on under >Form >Always hide forms document message bar. The check mark is off.
I want the purple box to be visible in my interactive form, yet it is not. WHY????

Because this isn't really an InDesign question, I'd post this in this Acrobat Pro forum:

That's never worked that way for me.

CS6 InDesign not exporting doc to anything

I have a catalogue design established in InDesign which Ihave had for about a year and updated twice for the company - this time I cannot export.
InDesign stops exporting when it gets to spread 94/95 and gives me a error message:
I have tried with swf files and flash files and all the same - there must be something wrong on that page on the doc.
Please can somebody help.

If you can PDF everything up to that spread, and then PDF everything from just after to the end of the document, I'd start by doing that. When you're done, you can join the PDFs together with Acrobat. As far as the spread in question, it could be any number of things from fonts to images to a bug in the file. If you have already tried saving to IDML and opening that as Fadabi1 suggested, you could try making a new document and moving all the pages to it with the Pages pallet. If that doesn't work either, you need to eliminate things until you find the problem.
The quickest thing to check are the pages themselves. Zoom in so that you can't see any pasteboard on the spread in question, select all with the Selection tool and delete. Make something on each page (it could be a simple line, shape or text) and export to PDF. If it works, you will know that the pages are not the problem. If it doesn't work, there's a bug on the page. The easiest thing to do is revert to saved, make a new spread of 2 pages just before or just after, move all of the items to the new spread and delete the old spread. This is the least likely problem, but the quickest to check.
Next, try removing all of the type and trying the export. If it exports with only the images, the problem is type. To hunt down which font is the problem, go to Type>Find Font and change one of the fonts to something that you know is good. Try the export again and if it won't go, revert and change a different font to something you know works. If you have lots of fonts in the file and you want to pair it down more quickly, change half of the fonts instead of just one. If that doesn't work, revert and check the other half. Which ever half doesn't work, keep dividing the list in half until you find the one that is causing the failure. Many times, it's a stray paragraph return at the end of a line that has a different font than the rest of the paragraph uses.
If, on the other hand, removing all of the type still doesn't work, it's probably an image. Revert back and remove all of the images and see if you can export. You basically use the same method of removing images until the PDF exports, and which ever one is last is the problem. You can remove them in halves the way you did with the fonts. When you find the image that is causing the problem, try opening it in the program that created it and resaving. Sometimes that will work if resaving creates a new preview. If it doesn't work and you have the option to save without a preview, give that a try, although it will be harder to work with. If nothing works, see if you can exchange that image for something else.
Also keep in mind that there could be more than one thing preventing export. If you get to the end and nothing has worked, you could try making a new document and copying items one at a time and pasting them each onto it's own page in the new document. That will make it easier to find whch item is the problem, as that page won't PDF. Text frames with more than one font would be harder to pin down with this method, but it's something to try if nothing else works.

bonjour,
j'aimerais exporter en PDF mon document et avoir un fichier PDF par page
exemple :

je sais qu'on peut le faire car j'ai réussi il y a quelques mois, mais je ne me souviens plus du tout
quelqu'un peut il me rafraichir la mémoire ?

Hotspots not exporting to interactive PDF

Am using Fireworks CS5 and have created a interactive image map, whereby hotspots link out to url's.
I have exported it to html, which works fine. However, I also need to export it as an interactive pdf. I can't not do this.
When exported to pdf, all the links are lost.
I created another test file using buttons instead of hotspots, when exported to pdf the interactions remain, but using hotspots they are lost.
Can someone assit?
Cheers
Robin

I was looking for an answer to this issue too and someone mentioned in this thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/787195 that the Polygon Hotspot tool does not work for Interactive PDFs when exporting, so make sure that your hotspots are set to Rectangle on the bottom properties palette if they are rectangle. If they are for a polygon shape, then I guess you should export to HTML&Images instead of PDF to preserve the polygon hotspot.
It's probably irrelevant to you now (sorry), but hopefully this helps anyone else looking for a similar solution.

SWF files in InDesign for export as Interactive PDF

I am creating an interactive PDF file which contains a multi-state slide show with navigation buttons that I created in InDesign. Since that will not display and "work" in an interactive PDF I exported a .swf file of the slide show to place in the final InDesign page layout. The interactive PDF works just fine when viewed in Acrobat, but the .swf file of the slide show moves around and changes scale depending on the view scale in Acrobat so that it no longer stays where it was intended in the InDesign layout. I suspect that I exported the .swf slide show from the InDesign file incorrectly but I can't figure out what the peoblem is.

What version of InDesign? Is it fully patched?
There was a bug in the initial release of CS5 that caused this type of behavior but it was fixed in a dot release.

Help Please. InDesign CS3 Print Booklet to PDF

I'm desperate for any help on this issue. I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard OS X. I currently have Adobe Acrobat 8.0 installed. I'm trying to print a booklet from an InDesign file to a PDF. Whenever I run through the prompts to Print to a PDF, the sequence starts and then a PDF never shows up.
If anyone can help me figure out why this feature is not working, I would be so grateful. I'm getting ready to pull my hair out!

I'm afraid I'm not really going to be all that much help.
The PDF printer is killed by Snow Leopard, but that shouldn't be a problem for you, so it sounds like something else is going on. I'm going to defer to some of the Mac experts here on possible ways to reinstall the PDF printer or other possible fixes.

Markup not displaying Doc/docx/PDF properly

Hey everyone,
I'm using Oracle text in conjunction with Apex, all on top of the 11G database. My issue is that using the Oracle text Markup, many files types do not display properly. The level of wrongness varies, from some readable text to complete gibberish. This happens to all version of PDFs, Docs, and Docx files. A sample of what appears is below:
Æ
@à°€P ðÀ!dðgd£n=gd8h²„h^„hgd8h²^

However, using a simple .txt file, the result is nearly perfect and everything is complete readable.
create or replace PROCEDURE test

 v_clob CLOB;
 v_read_amount INTEGER := 32767;

 v_buffer VARCHAR2 (32767);

 v_read_offset := v_read_offset + v_read_amount;
 v_read_amount := 32767;
 EXCEPTION
 WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN EXIT;
 END;
 END LOOP;
 END test;The above is the procedure I'm using if that helps. If anyone has ideas about what's going wrong, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Well, I figured this one out on my own. I had been using a multi-column datastore, and it turns out that you have to turn on auto-filtering for each column you add. Once I had done this and rebuilt my index, my markup was much more accurate and readable. Hopefully this can help out anyone else going through this issue.

Mail suddenly not exporting messages as PDFs

I think this is related to recently upgrading to OS X 10.9.3, but lately Mail seems unable to export a mail message to PDF. I just started using this feature a few weeks ago regularly and now I am unable to use it. I am almost dependant on this feature now too.
When I select Mail > File > Export to PDF it shows the box to enter the file name to save to, but when I do so, suddenly it pops me over to the Print dialog box. When I select Cancel to cancel printing, it puts me back at the beginning with no exported file.

I did not know that. I've had Macs since 2005 though I've never really learned much about the opersating system enviroment itself. Such knowledge I'm sure would help me out if I took the time.
Regarding all those things you suggested, haha, I was already just doing all that, likely while you were typing that out. I tried a new folder in finder, tried moving the files to it. I could move the files but would stilll get the print dialog box when trying to save to PDF.
Okay, so here's another development. I've tried adding another new folder and it also will not let me save as PDF, going to the Print Dialog box.
The Path is myusername > Documents > Business > Receipts > Meetup > filename.ext
I've tried to add new folders to the Documents menu, so
myusername > Documents > Testing out PDFs > filename.ext
and it's not working for that one either.
Just a reminder that I added the "Business" folder recently, like a few weeks ago. I have a few receipts saved under Meetup already further along that path, but I'm unable to save new PDFs anywhere under the Business heading. I also can't save them to Testing Out PDFs folder as I've said. However I can save them to the Documents > root folder.
I just checked and I am able to Export as PDF from Safari to the Business folder, so it looks like it's specifically an issue between Mail and that Documents folder and subfolders.
Ooh, even more information.
Okay I've tried saving to other subfolders under Documents, but when I do that I get the following error message:
Could not save to path /Users/myusername/~/~/Documents/Family Info/Bridal Shoot 2014-06-15.txt. Choose a different path.
The weird thing is that I wasn't even trying to save them into my Documents > Family Info subfolder, I was trying to save it into my Documents > Models subfolder.

Wingdings not exported correctly in PDF by Crystal Reports XI JRC in Linux

I have a report that contains checkmark and scissor character from Wingdings/Wingdings 2. The PDF file is generated via a program using Crystal Reports' Java Reporting Component. When I am testing it in my machine (Windows), the checkmark and scissors characters are shown correctly. But using our Linux Redhat server generates a "P" instead of the checkmark and a quotation mark instead of the scissors.
With the thought that Crystal Reports XI JRC do font indexing instead of subsetting/embedding, my idea was that there was no installed Wingdings font in the Linux server. I've replicated the case in my Windows machine by removing the Wingdings font.
With that knowledge, I've installed the Wingdings (*.ttf files) font in the Linux server and executed commands like ttmkfdir (as instructed in some tutorials). I've verified that in Applications -> Preference -> Fonts that the Wingdings fonts are selectable. But when I generated again my PDF file, the correct fonts are still not rendered correctly. Is there anything more I need to do for the JRC to recognize the Wingdings font in Linux.
Migrating to the Crystal Reports for Eclipse released last Jan 2009 is not a possible option.

First check is to ensure the Java JVM can see the font. The Java SDK comes with the JFC demo Font2DTest. Do the fonts show up there?
Note that the Java JRE has a lib/fonts directory, where you can place TrueType fonts that the JRE then would use.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Images not appearing/printing in PDF properly

I'm working in CS4. I never had this issue in the past, but now when I save files as PDFX1a some of my images do not appear when printing. I can see them in the PDF, but they print as a white silhouette. I did embed the images.

Where is it you want the navigation to appear?
Try this CSS -
#mainnav {
clear: both;
display: block;
float:right;
margin-right:50px;
margin-top:25px;
overflow:hidden;
padding:0;
width:350px;
Is that anywhere close?

Why is AE Pro CC not exporting my lower thirds properly?

Hello! I'm having a very strange issue today with AE Pro CC. Before I start in, let me explain a couple things:
1. I have updated my Mac Pro to Mavericks; and
2. I have downloaded and applied the patch that was released.
I can open, edit, and export my files just like pre-Mavericks; however, when I go to import them into Premiere via Import, I get an import error:
"The importer encountered a generic error."
Oddly, when I look at the exported files in Finder (which, by the way, do not throw an error during the export process -- I have clean logs), I don't have a preview thumbnail like I did before. Now, it's a placeholder Quicktime logo. Hitting space bar to preview them only offers the information window, which show "Zero KB" as the file size... but in Finder, it clearly shows the correct file size.
Opening the files in Quicktime gives me a "converting" message before opening (these are .MOV files that shouldn't need converting at all), and exporting them from QT won't allow for an Alpha channel, ruining the transparency of the lower third.
Anybody have a clue what's happening here, or having the same issue? It seems there's some new problem with Mavericks, or QT, or After Effects rendering out in RGB+Alpha .MOV ~
Thanks for the help.

Sure -- it's actually all over the Quicktime forums right now. Lots of people having TONS of issues. Mine just happened to cross over into After Effects, because I use Alpha Channels in my .mov

InDesign crashes every time I export to interactive PDF??

I am using InDesign CS6 on Windows 7 professional.
I have restarted the computer several times. CS6 is all up to date.
I have experimented on several existing documents as well as brand new documents. It makes no difference.
Interestingly, InDesign DOES export the interactive PDF just fine, I can open it and it works. However, before the document finishes processing, InDesign pops up an error message saying that InDesign has stopped working and must shut down. So when I have many PDFs from various files to export, it's a major pain to have indd crash & recover documents every time.
Files crash no matter what the content, I've tried new doc with only a yellow circle. I've tried new doc using only system fonts.
I've never used interactive PDFs before today, so I have no idea if this is a recent problem or not.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!!
-Tia

Peter, ID is patched to version 8.0.2 & I followed the steps to replace my preference (and confirmed they were deleted) and I'm still having the same issue of ID crashing whenever I export an interactive PDF.
I've tested it on all four of our computers here, and it does it to everyone--so I'm guessing it's something system-wide on our part. I am going to trying uninstalling some plugins that we all have and report back later.

Table not exporting in XLS or PDF format

Hi all
My Report layout contains a chart and a big table which loads properly in Interactive mode but does not export table into PDF or XLS format.Charts get exported properly.
the version :Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.3.0
Can somebody help why it is not exporting.
Cheers
-Sandeep

I exported by giving local path. But it doesnt write to that folder but to somewhere. Reports 10g is not client/server, so you cannot write directly to a local directory on the client PC. One option: you can open the generated file in a browser and have the users save it on their own PC.
When integrating Forms and Reports, there are other options, like using webutil_file_transfer.
It's a good idea to start with understanding the differences between client/server (6i) and 10g (web) Reports.

InDesign doc exported to PDF won't print

I'm experiencing issues with an exported PDF from InDesign. More specifically, when I export the InDesign doc to a PDF and try to print, I don't have any issues, nor does anyone else in my office, however some of the people that I'm sending the document to are experiencing trouble printing it. They get to 44% flattened and then the printing process slows down, and then once it reaches 50% they get a pop-up window saying that the document can't print and the whole thing stops. They can print the first page by just selecting that page, however the second page cannot be printed this way. I have re-exported the PDF several times and these folks having the issues have cleared their browser cache, re-downloaded the document, saved it to their desktop before opening, and tried renaming the document as well.
What's going on here, and what can I do or tell them to do to fix this?
Also, updating their Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat does not solve the problem.

Hi, I was just wondering if you got the problem resolved. I'm asking because we are experiencing kind of the same issue in our office. Our Marketing Manager is using Adobe InDesign and exports her documents to PDF. These PDFs won't print in any of our printers in the office. It spools and then gets stuck and it actually makes our HP Coloured Laser Printer throw an error (error 79) and we'll have to restart the printer due to this error. We can print other documents and other PDFs in the printer so we know it's not a printer driver issue. In fact, we have isolated the problem to only PDFs exported from InDesign. Even if we create a blank document from InDesign and export it to PDF it still won't print. Really odd. We would appreciate if you could share your solution if you were able to fix the issue. Thanks!!
