InDesign Server Developer Edition, PDF export problem

I'm currently testing our application on IDS CS5, using Developer Edition. Whenever I attempt to export a PDF, I receive the following error:
Wed Mar  2 10:17:29 2011 WARN [server] Colour in one or more placed graphics cannot be represented as CMYK.  Non-CMYK colour is not compliant with the PDF/X-1a standard. You can click OK to produce a valid PDF, but it will not be a PDF/X-1a compliant file.
Wed Mar  2 10:17:29 2011 ERROR [server] JavaScript Error!
Error Number: 2
Error String: User cancelled this action.
Engine: main
Line: 1428
Source: this.document.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, documentFile);
Interpreter: CS4 (6.0)
This happens even with a completely blank document. It works fine if I export JPGs or an INDD file from the same file. I'm guessing this is due to the watermark that Developer Edition places on every page. I'm fine with that, but not actually being able to export an X-1a PDF makes testing quite tricky.
Any suggestions?

I get the same thing:
    private void exportPDF(Document document, PDFType pdfType) throws IdsException {
        String pdfPath = this.outputPrefix + pdfType.getFileEnding();
        getApplication().getPDFExportPreferences().setPageRange(buildExportPageRange(document));
        document.doExport(VariableTypeUtils.createString("Adobe PDF"),
                pdfPath,
                OptArg.makePDFExportPreset(getPDFExportPreset(document, pdfType)),
                OptArg.noBoolean(),
                OptArg.noString(),
                OptArg.makeBoolean(true));
        addExportedPreview(pdfPath);
        log.debug("Exported PDF: " + pdfPath);
    private PDFExportPreset getPDFExportPreset(Document document, PDFType pdfType) throws IdsException {
        Application application = getApplication();
        PDFExportPreset preset = application.getNamedChildPDFExportPreset(pdfType.getExportPresetName());
        preset.setCropMarks(pdfType.isCropMarks());
        preset.setUseDocumentBleedWithPDF(pdfType.isBleed());
        if (pdfType.isBleed() || pdfType.isCropMarks()) {
            preset.setPageMarksOffset(UnitConverter.toUnit(getPageMarksOffset(document)));
        } else {
            preset.setPageMarksOffset(UnitConverter.toUnit(Length.zero()));
        return preset;
Editing the profile to use none for standard compliance allows the export of the PDF.

  • InDesign Server crashes on PDF export

    I've narrowed the problem down to the PDF presets we have defined.
    We have two PDF Presets that we use with our InDesign Server, one for low quality and one for high quality.
    When exporting a document using our high quality preset, IDS will sometimes crash altogether and will have to be restarted. We've never had this problem using our low quality preset.
    The only differences between the two presets are the image compression settings. Our HQ preset is set to 200PPI for color & grayscale images, while our LQ preset is set to 72 for color and 120 for grayscale images. Also, Image quality is set to High on our HQ and Medium on our LQ preset. Those are the ONLY descrepancies between the two.
    Does IDS have problems with exporting higher quality PDFs? Is this a known issue with ID?
    I can lower the quality of the PDF and it seems to fix the issue, but I'd like to know why this happens. Also, the whole purpose of exporting in HQ is to have a "high quality" PDF.
    Production Server Hardware -
    Windows Server 2008 R2 x64
    Two of these processors - Intel Xeon CPU X5570 @ 2.93 GHz - 8 cores
    20 GB of memory
    Software Running -
    Adobe InDesign Server CS5 v 7.0.3

    I don't use the server edition, but the regular version certainly doesn't have a problem with high resolution. I have once or twice, though, seen a problem with a custom preset created in an earlier version. This seems to have disappeared for me with the 7.0.3 update, though.
    Prests being as easy to creat as they are, though, you might want to try remaking any problem presets, starting from one of the canned presets if possible, and see if it makes a difference.

    What is it that you can not see in Reader: button behavior, rollover effect,
    hyperlink, etc. ?
    Wow, I am impressed about the fast reaction:-)
    The interactive function I am using (unfortunately in German inDesign) is
    "button" > Action: by letting go (?). It's a file with some 100 pages and
    some 500 links. Exported as pdf interactive...
    The effect In AcrobatPro: when clicking on the thumbnail the original
    picture shows in a separate window without closing the original file. After
    closing the new window, I could continue in the multipage file...
    This is not happening in Adobe Reader. It says: the link was not found, and
    here and then, when shown in e new window, the multipage file is closed...
    Hope this helps..
    Thanks Jaro
    PS
    I did reply on the forum directly, but no success. There trying via mail.

  • PDF export problem in Pages/Keynote/Preview

    I am having some problems with PDF exports (and "Print as PDF")  from Pages (as well as Keynote and Preview).  Here is my situation:
    I am creating a PDF of a barchart+legend from the program Mathematica.  I suspect the way the exported PDF is formatted is that the chart and legend are two blocks within the PDF.  This PDF opens perfectly in Preview and Adobe Reader, and imports perfectly into Pages and Keynote.  However, when the Pages/Keynote document is exported to PDF or printed to PDF, the resulting file opens fine in Preview but not in either the Mac or Windows version of Adobe Reader (part or all of the image fails to appear with a generic "An error exists on this page, please contact the author of this document to correct this problem" error message).  This also happens with the PDF is exported/printed as PDF from Preview itself - the resulting file opens fine in Preview but not with Acrobat.
    Any suggestions?  While I could reconstruct the barcharts individually in Pages itself, for the sorts of documents I'm working on I could easily have dozens of PDFs to import for a single project, and it's much easier to export the files from Mathematica as the analysis is done than rebuild each one from scratch.

    As far as I know, there is no provision for such settings in these programs.
    Developer documentation for ICC colour management in Firefox 2, Firefox 3 and Firefox 3.5, see below. Firefox 3 has ICC colour management disabled by default. Firefox 3.5 has ICC colour management for images within which there is embedded an ICC source colour space profile. It is possible to set Firefox to colour manage the application windows as well as images with embedded ICC profiles. The developer documentation discusses how to do this in what sounds suspiciously like a command line / terminal tool, and also how to point Firefox 3.5 to the display profile. This in turn sounds suspiciously like Firefox 3.5 is unable to talk to the system level service and ask for the display profile automatically.
    Camino and Opera ... I'll pass. I suspect it's more of the same mess.

  • InDesign CS4 crashes during PDF export

    Computer is a Dell laptop that operates on Windows XP Professional. I am putting together our image- and text-heavy company newsletter. I have been able to export as Press-Quality PDF withing the past week or two. I made a change today and now get an error when I try to export to PDF (Press Quality, 4 pages, spreads, all marks, full bleeds). I've been able to isolate the problem to pages 3 & 4, since I can export pages 1 & 2 without any issue but cannot export either 3 or 4 seperately, or together in a spread. I've tried the save-as-INX-and-reopen trick to no avail. I've tried saving it onto my local drive, rather than the network drive it was on before. Still crashes at the same point.
    The error I get says that "InDesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. For more information about this error, click here." And I have the option to "Debug" or "Close." When I click the "click here" link at the end of the sentence, I get a window with the following info:
    "Error Signature
    AppName: indesign.exe       AppVer:6.0.0.352      ModName:transparency.rpln
    ModVer: 6.0.0.352   Offset: 0006f14d
    To view technical information about the error report, click here."
    And if I click on that "click here" link, I get a very long  window of "Error Report Contents" that I cannot copy-paste, and would probably take me a good hour to retype here.
    Any thoughts? I do have several transparencies on page 3, and a gradient stroke on an object that spans both 3 & 4. All links have been embedded and prior to embedding showed no signs of warnings or issues. Links include JPEGs, Photoshop files, and Illustrator files.

    Finally found the troublemaker!!! You were right. I deleted all links, and it exported the PDF just fine. I went back and tried deleting single links at a time and found the one that, when deleted, everything else exported to PDF just fine. I opened that JPEG in Photoshop and cropped it to the exact size I needed, since I hadn't done this before, resaved under a new name, put it back in my InDesign file and everything just exported beautifully.
    HUUUUGE sigh of relief over here. THANK YOU!
    And next time I will bypass the wasted morning of pulling out hair and running in circles, and just come straight here.

  • Best way to get SharePoint workflow to trigger InDesign XML refresh and PDF export?

    What is the best way to get a SharePoint workflow to trigger the refresh of an XML datasource within an InDesign document, and generate a PDF export? The datasource would be hosted by SharePoint.
    Would InDesign Server be required?

    My understanding of the license is that Adobe requires you to use InDesign Server for this sort of thing.
    But the implementation is probably the same either way. Periodically poll, or find some way to trigger it.

  • Can't InDesign Server make a jpg export of a large page? (4000x4500mm)

    Hi guys,
    I don't have InDesign Server installed so thats why I ask here.
    I'm using a solution where an InDesign server should return with a jpg of an InDesign document, but for some reason it doesn't work with this document:
    http://ge.tt/8w1EmaP/v/0
    Can anyone clarify if InDesign Server really has a problem in exporting larger dimensions of if it is just the solution which I'm uploading to, that has a problem?
    Thanks in advance!

    It also depends on the Resolution of the JPG. I just exported a 72 ppi JPG from InDesign desktop. However, it would not export a 2400 ppi JPG (maximum size exceeded).

  • InDesign CS5 Crashes on PDF Export if Suitcase Fusion 3 Auto Activation is on

    I just started having a problem after upgrading  from SF2 to 3 and using InDesign CS5. My exports to PDF were all  crashing as soon as the PDF creation background process started. I tried  all kinds of tests and troubleshooting to figure out what was causing  the problem as it was sudden and erratic. 
    Then I noticed that all the documents crashing were using fonts I  had activated with SF 3, so I created a new document with a simple  system font and it exported OK. Then a font installed activated  permanently via SF and still would crash.
    I closed SF and reopen InDesign with a document using the SF  permanently activated fonts, still would crash. It wasn't until I turned  off SF3 Auto Activation in Preferences that the crashing ceased. I can  now have SF3 open, activate fonts and see them in InDesign and export  successfully without crash as long as that preference is unchecked.  
    This should be fixed in the next updated I hope as I like the auto activation feature.

    I have also had a crash on export problem recently. I went through the suggestions in this thread and searched others.
    Then I stepped through a few things in my INDD.
    Deleted the suspect page. Export worked.
    Brought the page back. Export crashed.
    Looked at all the text on the page. I had 4 boxes with bulleted text.
    I converted the bullets to text and the export went ahead with no problem.
    I turned the bulleted list back into a real bulleted list and the export crashed again.
    Go figure.

  • SAP NetWeaver Portal Crystal Reports PDF Export Problem

    Hallo all,
    We are working with BO Edge XI 3.1 with integration on SAP Netweaver Portal. The problem is that integrated in SAP Portal CR reports cannot be exported to PDF or printed out.
    I am using an URL iview with the parameter sOutputFormat=P to run the report.
    When I want to print out the report I get the warning message from Internet Explorer "The download of files from this page is for security reasons blocked. Click here..." --> Download the file. By clicking on the u201CDownload this fileu201D the report starts to run again. PDF export doesnu2019t happen.
    Did somebody have the same problem?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    thanks a lot for Your help. I have already talked to my IT department and they are looking for the solution of this problem, too.
    Is there a documentation  about necessary settings in the browser to work with SAP NetWeaver Portal and Crystal reports?
    The problem is that on some clients the PDF export is working and on another clients not. The settings of IE seem to be equal.

  • Three panel brochure pdf export problem

    I've created a three panel brochure, using the Pages 2 template. I need to share this with Windows people (who will handle the actual printing), so I exported it to pdf format. It looks OK (and Apple automatically embeds the fonts, nice!). However, the printed version is slightly different, such that the folds don't work correctly (images and words cross the folds).
    The pdf export prints perfectly from Preview, but not from Acrobat, which is what the Windows people have. Printing to pdf creates the same problem. Anybody know of a workaround to create the proper proportions for a pdf export? Thanks.
    G5/mirror G4/iBook/Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Stephen- Based on some other discussions I read, I did try printing to pdf-x. Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem.
    Barabara- As it turned out, Adobe Acrobat was not printing at 100% in either Windows or OS X. In the Windows print command window, page scaling was defaulted to "reduce to printer margins." This meant the document was printing at 96%. By changing page scaling to "none," the document printed to 100%, fixing the problem.
    Likewise, in OS X, Adobe Acrobat's page scaling was also defaulted to "reduce to printer margins." This scaled the page to 93%, which caused the printing problem. By changing page scaling to "none" the document printed at 100%, fixing the problem. Thanks for the suggestion, which solved my problem.

  • StarOffice 8 (Update 9) PDF Export problems

    I am using StarOffice 8 prupdate 9. I have been trying to export in PDF but I notived the following problems:
    1) When an 'area' (eg a basic shape) is filled with a color that is the same as the outline color BUT at a transparency level (say 50%) PDF exports this filled area with the same color as the outline and NO transparency.
    2) When I use connectors or Bezier curves, the bounding box of the curve overwrites whatever lies behind it.
    On the screen, none of the above problems are visible, just when I export to PDF.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks ....

    Had to back out the patch. As soon as I did that, the spreadsheets all came back to normal. I don't have a StarOffice support contract, so I can't alert Sun to the problem that way. Not sure if Sun people ever read this, is there a bugreport address I can send the info to?

  • PDF Exporting Problem

    Hello everyone,
    I hope not all of you are as frustrated as I am with Numbers 08'. I have problems with printing the entire document and can't seem to find the answer on the Numbers 08' forum, so I hope that would be addressed soon.
    For my more imminent problem with Numbers now is that, when I export my document to PDF, the headers were all cut out. But when I print to PDF, it turns out just fine. But printing to PDF does not allow me to print the entire document to PDF, so I have to do it sheet by sheet and save each sheet with a different file name. Well, I am pretty frustrated with that.
    Numbers is a very nice app, but I am quite surprised that simple and essential functions like priting the entire document and exporting are requiring so much effort from the users. This is not impressive at all.
    Help anyone?? Please Thank you.
    Tommy the Whitedragon

    Using the side bar drag all the tables to the same sheet. Check print View and move the tables around to make sure the pages look right for printing. Delete any unused columns & rows.
    The printing, pdf export and page numbers (in the page footer) works on a per sheet basis.
