Is there a problem with Indesign effects exporting to PDF?

Hi All... Since updating to the latest version of Indesign, I can't seem to get my effects to work when I export into a PDF? Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the new version of Indesign? I have a job that I'm urgently trying to get out but can't get the drop shadow or bevel emboss to transfer to the PDF that needs to go to my client? Can anyone help me with this ASAP pleeeeease???

It looks OK in the Indesign overprint preview and I usually have my Acrobat set to view overprint as well so I turned it off & on just in case there was something happening there, but no luck!
I am using a spot colour in the background behind the graphic but not on the graphic itself, but I don't think that should effect it as I'm sure I've done this many times (But I am starting to doubt myself now... lol)?

That is reason, why it looks like it looks. But what happens if you replace the spot to a process color?

Problems with bleed and exporting to PDF.

Hi,
I am having a slight problem exporting a file to pdf in Indesign CS3.
I have my documents set up with a 3mm bleed and I have made sure that the images and work extend passed the bleed marks as they should. The problem is that when I export to pdf, the pdf file appears to have cropped the work exactly on the bleed line leaving nothing extending passed the bleed. The 3mm bleed area is still there but nothing is extending into it which is kind of pointless. I don't know whether there is a setting I am missing or something like that but any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

"It appears to crop it exactly on the bleed line."
for the record, isn't that what it's supposed to do?
Your bleed line is 3mm outside the trim. Anything you bleed will be contained in that 3mm band. If you hang any more than 3mm off the edge, only the 3mm in the bleed band will show on the PDF.

Problem with InDesign CC exported epub for upload to IngramSpark

I am completely frustrated with IngramSpark. I have an epub file exported directly from InDesign and it repeatedly is being rejected by Ingram with the following message:
Adobe Format Rejected - Invalid Metadata or Content File
04/10/2014 12:05:48
Conversion Error: An error has occurred during the packaging process: E_PACK_ERROR http://localhost:8085/packaging/Package File%20already%20encrypted%20or%20unexcpected%20font%20mangling%20algorithm:%20http://www.idpf.org/2008/embedding Request XML was: <package xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/adept"> <location>ftp://LIGHTNINGSOURCE\autoftp:s3tpwd@localhost/GBTargets/9780985849405.enc</location> <src>http://ebook.lightningsource.com/TitleDownload/LSCFD.dll?hdlr=ADEPT&
Ingram claims the E_PACK_ERROR is the problem and that it originates on my end. We (the author and I) have tried numerous times via Verizon and AT&T servers to upload the file. I have vetted the file for anything extraneous, even replacing an ornamental font with just the one font family, Adobe Caslon Pro. I do not encrypt any files on my computer.
I do not know what else I can do to avoid the E_PACK_ERROR. Any suggestions would be of great assistance. This file passes muster with no errors when run through any of several different epub "validators", and the book performs flawlessly on Android phones and tablets, iPhones, and Windows and Mac PCs using several different ebook readers.

If the support staff at Ingram Spark is not helpful, maybe you'll just have to deal with the eBook sellers yourself. If the file passes IDPF validation, and if it view correctly on the eBooks you want it on, then the problem is at their end, not yours.

Problems with the report export in PDF format

Hi All,
I am new to this forum.
I'm developing a web application that uses Java Reporting Component (JRC) to display crystal reports.
I have three problem:
1) I want, after entering the filters in a jsp, to print a report in PDF format (WORD) without opening it
with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word). The class of API JRC used for export is ReportExportControl.
2) I want to print multiple reports one after the other to reduce the time (possibly joining two or more reports into a single PDF)
3) I want to insert, in the jsp page filters, the number of pages to print from the same report (without
opening it with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word))
Can anyone help me? or can give a simple java code to do the same.
Thanks in advance.

Problems with superscript when exporting to PDF

If one writes in a table cell for example "100m3 tank" with 3 as a superscript, then exports the document to PDF, the
"3 tank" disappears, likewise if one just writes "100m3", the 3 disappears. However, if you just write "m3", the three in superscript remains. Any fixes for this bug? How can I report it to Apple?

I just came across this same problem -- similar but not exactly the same.
Text in a table does not print properly when text is superscripted.
This is a problem since we have a French invoice that has a fair bit of superscript. I tried to work around by decreasing the font size and increasing the baseline, but this did not work.
I'm using Pages 5.1 and Mavericks.
Anyone have any ideas????

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 running on OS 10.6

I recently upgrade my old G4 Mac (OS 10.4) to a new Mac Mini running OS 10.6.6. I am still running CS3 and have encountered only one problem. When I print multiple copies documents from InDesign that contain several layers, each copy is processed separately, so that it can take several minutes just to send the print job to the printer if I'm printing over 20 copies. Then once the print job is processed the printer pauses between every copy, which is tripling the printing time. If I print a simpler document with only one or two layers it processes all the copies at once, as it should. I am printing on an Okidata 6150 color laser printer.
I never had this problem on my old computer. I'm wondering if this is one of the "unsupported" bugs of running CS3 on Snow Leopard. I want to make sure that this is a problem unique to running CS3 with Snow Leopard before I go ahead and upgrade to CS4 or CS5.
computer: Mac Mini core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processors, 4 gb RAM, printer: Okidata 6150 DN color laser printer.

Hi again Peter
It is version 5.0.4. I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0. I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it. Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version. However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader. I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it. I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

I neglected to ask what version of indesign CS3 you are using. I also
notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually
addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to
launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update,
nonetheless.

I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator CS6

Hi everybody
I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator
1. When you go to to effects > effect Gallery the the sketch filter always is black and white. Is this normal? In Photoshop you can set your background and foreground and the sketch effects takes those colors. Is there any way to do this in Illustrator? I have tried changing the colour of the fill and stroke but nothing...
2. In the same area as before effects > effect Gallery .... In Photoshop you can add multiple filters with the create new button. Always is off is there anyway to make it available? or the only way is to by creating several individual ones and manage then in the appearance panel ...
3. I saved a brush library and now it appears in the user defined area so I can get it in any document, that is good but any one knows how to delete a user undefined library?
Many thanks in advance for the help .... I look forward for the reply =)

I see that it is six months ago that I first posted this. Nothing has changed. When I use affixa to create a message with an attachment from my gmail account in firefox, the message is created in drafts, but the gmail window is closed and I have to re-open it. Not critical, but annoying.
Now there is a plug-in on the affixa site that is supposed to be designed for Firefox, and which affixa support claims should take care of this. And I've downloaded it twice. When you download it and open it, it says that it will be installed when Firefox restarts, and gives you a button to restart Firefox. But after you click that button and firefox disappears and re-appears, the affixa plug-in is NOT in the plugin list.
Please, somebody, HELP.

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 with Mac OS 10.6.3

I am not new to InDesign... I have CS3... but I am brand new to Mac Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3). Although I can open CS3 and use the application, I cannot print with it. None of my other applications has printing issues... just CS3. Any suggestions?

Problem with After Effects crashing machine when rendering

Ive been having a repeated problem with after effects crashing when I try to render a sequence.
The render halts then first After Effects becomes unresponsive then every other applications follows and I have to hard-restart my machine.
Can anyone help me find out how to stop this happening?

i - Illl try to answer these bellow...
What exact version of After Effects? Include the minor version number---e.g., After Effects CC (12.2.1) or After Effects CS6 (11.0.4). Do not just say "After Effects with the latest updates" or "After Effects CC"; give the specific version number.
Ive just updated it - I have After Effects CC 13.2.0.49
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
Just don'e this - not tried to render since
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Late Mac operating system Yosamete 10.10.1 (14B25)
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
There is no error message
What were you doing when the problem occurred? What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking?
Performing a render, the render gets partially through but stops at different parts and hangs, then the computer hangs and I have to hard reset.
Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time?
I had a similar problem two days ago, i thought it could be a problem with some animated png sequences and a "matte feather" effect so i replaced the sequences with non animated versions and it seemed to fix the problem.

Hi,
Try iMessaging your own iPhone and see if your account is actually logged in.
It can appear "enabled" and On line but sometimes it is not.
Also try sending from your iPhone (number) to your Apple ID and see if it gets to the Mac.
If it does not use the Sign Out button.
Then shut down the Mac
On restart add back the Apple ID to the iMessages account settings.
I also just checked My wife's iPhone as she popped up red.
It turned out her iPhone did not have Messages On.

Problem with keyframe effect - at start and end (crop and scale)

I'm having this odd problem with keyframe effects.
Setup:
I have a gif image that I have on video 1 for say 2 minutes.
I have my real video on video 2. It is a person talking.
First I start with my video full size on top of video 1.
Though the motion and cropping keyframe management I slowly reduce the scale and crop my video image so that it is reduced to the lower left bottom of the screen, on top of the gif, which is now revealed.
My problem is at the start and end of the transition from full video to small box on lower left on top of my gif I often get 1-2 frames where the video goes blank and/or I get a bunch of random red bars on black background appearing on the video - Or I get the gif from video 1 without the video 2 at all (it disappears).
I've tried moving my start of end of the transition to skip the bad spots - but these new transition starts or ends not get their own bad spots in the same way. Its only a couple of frames but it's really unacceptable for the finished video.
Note, when I say transition here I don't mean real transition events, but rather the start of effects that are managed with keyframes. My move from start to end of the effect runs for about 4-6 seconds.
Any ideas?

Bill,
Here is more detail and screen captures.
Concept:
I have 3 minutes of video. It contains a person making a speech. During parts of the speech I want to reveal a graphic image that will be discussed. The speech will begin with the speaker full screen. Half way in, the speaker will shrink down to 45% in the lower left corner of the screen. While the animation occurs (the shrink, move and cropping) it will reveal the graphic below. The graphic will take up the full screen with the speaker at 45%.
Technique:
I put the video in Video 2 and the graphic, a GIF image in Video 1. The scene begins with the speaker talking at full screen. After a minute, I animate the move of the speaker using Motion: Scale and Position and Effect: Crop changing Top, Bottom, Left and Right sides. The animation occurs over approximately 8 seconds.
I am manually adding keyframes at the start and end of the animation. I set the ending state of the video image in the end keyframes. The interpolation between these start and end keyframes should be managing the animation.
Problem:
At the beginning and end of the animation – usually 1-3 frames from the start and 1-3 frames from the end, where the change has barely begun or almost ended, I get these problems. On some frames, the video (in Video 2) completely disappears only showing the Video 1 GIF image below. On other frames, the video image turns black with horizontal red bands half way across.
Troublshooting:
I’ve tried deleting all start and end keyframes and moving the start and end earlier or later to see if I can fix this, but the problem continues to show up in these new locations.
I have added a few screen shots.
1:32:15 is the start of the animation change and 1:40:22 is the end of increasing from the mini video speaker to full size (on top of the GIF).
At 1:40:16 the video image completely disappears only showing the GIF below.
At 1:40:17 its back and slowly increases in size through the interpolation until it is full size at 1:40:22.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks!

Is there a problem with FaceTime, can not connect. When dial it connects and drops. When friends are calling me they have calling message and I have connecting but it does not connect. Need help, face time is my life line.

Face time not working. When dialled it says connecting and drops immediately. When my friends calling it show connecting but it does not.
Is there a problem with face time. I am in south Africa, it was working perfectly up to Easter. Please help this is my life line.

There is a barely acknowledged issue. For Mac users Apple has released an update to the app, but for iOS users the recommendation is for users to update their ipad to the most recent operating system.
There may be a fix coming for iOS6 users (which seem to be many of those having problems) or there may not be. If your ipad isn't up to date then you can update it and see if that helps, or if you don't want to update then you may want to wait and see if there is either a fix or if it fixes itself.

There are reports that iMessage and FaceTime are down.

Is there a problem with the itunes and quicktime download pages or is it just my internet.

Some more developments ... the issue appears to be browser-specific. I can't see the download controls at the moment in either IE 8 (I'll get your message) or Safari for Windows 5.0.5 (I'll just get the blank box). But I can see the download controls in Firefox 4 and Chrome (whatever version I have of that).
So it might be worth installing Firefox and seeing if you can get the downloads via that:
