Lightroom failed to export

I was running LR2 on a vista machine and everything was working great.
I moved over to WIN7 32 bit re installed/updates for PC and LR everything was fine until i came to export!
All files are located on internal drives, no problems with missing files etc but say for example: i wanted to export 400 files to a new folder jpeg/resize/ rename, it continues to miss files in the output folder leaving empty files(renamed) and reporting (photos that failed to export) it might be 30 files or 200, there is no pattern at all.I have tried it with the existing file name/no resizing and different combinations of all the options but istill happens.
I have just moved again to WIN7 64 bit and the same thing is happening , im running a AMD Quad core with 4GB ram (same machine)
Any help would be great as i need to batch rename for clients wedding photos and its driving me mad, i am having to do it in another program and this is not how it should be.
Kind regards

Yes its not my most favored program at the moment, the catalogue had priviously been optimized and all the filters are definitely off but it still does it.
I had a poor work around which was to export the files i wanted in a file with there original filename and keep over writing the empty files until they were all in there, then send them to a program that did actually work and rename etc in there, not practical but worked.
The group of files that has really hacked me off is a wedding done 3 weeks ago with a friend, my 2 Canon cameras were synced and her Nikon was way off! by 1 year and 1 hour so this was just the start of all my problems, i changed all the file times and dates so they were in the correct order within LR but when i came to export i was screwed! I could not mass export/rename etc as it misses multiple files and i could not use my work around method as the whole group of Nikon files would come before mine(due to the file names). The client kept asking about the pictures so i had to sit there and actually rename and export 5-10 files at a time!! and it still would miss the occasional file......The 440 files took hours, but i had to do it!
Thank you for your input be unfortunatly no its nackered some how.

Lightroom Fails to Export Random Files

I'm on a Power Mac PC running OS 10.4.9. Lightroom fails to import and export images on a random basis. Wow! As a wedding photographer who has to process large batches at once this flaw is absolutely fatal. Is there a bug fix in the works, or do I just have to stop using this software?
I don't have any of these problems in Bridge which batches images wonderfully. I can't help thinking of the slogan on lightroom that goes "lightroom is for the many and photoshop is for the one" I guess that's true if I have to export one image at a time to edit in photoshop without dropping photos. But, I'm one of those crazy people who still sees a benifit to sharpening, retouching, and contrast tweaking in photoshop in large batches.

Perhaps this is not a bug but some incompatibility within your system.
Where do you import from? What types of files? Using a cardreader? What brand? Which import process are you using and where are you importing to?
What process do you use to export, to what file format? What, exactly, happens when LR "fails", do you get an error message? Nothing?

Lightroom 1.1 Export Error

I just upgraded to Lightroom 1.1. Now I can't export. I get an export error message pop up.
I have tried to exporting from a file (left menu) and from collections (left menu). Both render an export error message.
When trying to export 16 photos, here is the message I get:
"An error occurred while exporting. 16 folders failed to export."
Am I missing something here? It worked really well in V1.0.

I am also having problems with 1.1 and exporting. I attempted to batch about 3,000 RAW files to JPG the other day. I selected the folder and chose my export settings. Then it began to churn through them as normal. The goofy thing is that when they finished about 3hrs later only 250 of the 3000 were on the disk. LR gave me an error, "Unable to export 25xx pictures" with no other information. I have about 300gb free on the disk and am using a Inspiron 1705 with 2.2ghz core 2 duo and 2gb of ram. I don't understand why it would continue to act like its exporting when it really wasn't? Oh! not to mention I have been getting the OUT OF MEMORY upside down in red with 1.1 as well!

PHOTO FAILED TO EXPORT MESSAGE

I am not sure what I have done. I spent hours working on a couple hundred raw files. When I finished I exported the files and now I go back into Lightroom and I can the final work I performed with all the crops and adjustments but I get an error message stating the files are missing or offline. I cannot find where I exported these files to. My original folder looks in tact.

My original raw files seem to be OK in their folder. Those are untouched and in their original folder. I was trying to move the processed files from LR to another folder I created that I was calling "processed raw files". LR began the export and then a message came up that said 1-100 had not been exported 101-200 had not been exported etc. I checked the folder I intended for this export to go to and it was empty. I noticed a folder had been created in my LR Catalogs called "Photos that failed to Export". I can view these and they appear to be perfectly processed as I left them. When I move to the Develop module my files display a message that they have either been moved or they are missing. I have so many hours of work in these files I just hope and pray there is an easy solution to moving these into a folder.

Vista/Adobe 9/sql image Error in Crystal Report:Failed to Export the Report

When I try to export my Crystal Report (v2008) from a Vista machine (using Crystal RDC export methods) as a PDF, I get the following error:
Error in Crystal Report: Failed to export the report.
This only happens when a particular subreport (that contains a sql image) prints (based on an input parameter). We have other subreports (within this same report) that print a sql image just fine. But, when this subreport prints, the above error appears.
I can run the same report on an XP machine without error.
Exportmodeller.dll and crtsv.dll are both installed and registered to the
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\bin folder
I have tried opening the report, removing the image, and then adding it back in again to the subreport.
Still receive the same error.
Any suggestions?

Don,
Can you please clarify?
Our VB6 app that uses Crystal XI RDC runtime components. Our Crystal reports are edited in CR2008 SP1 developer edition (not through the VB.NET embedded report designer). We have deployed the CRXIRelease 2 runtime components (via the merge module) to our client machines in order to execute the RDC.
We can print/preview/export to excel, but the pdf creation is failing with this error.
We are only using the RDC (which we know is no longer supported) because of huge issues with the Crystal for .NET methods we are having with our customers (I have an active case for this issue). Therefore, we have to rollback our .NET product and revert to the RDC code.
Vista is failing to create a PDF for a report developed in the CR2008 SP1 developer edition when using the RDC.
When you say "Also, those old dll's will not work in CR 2008. Last patches will give you the option to export to Excel in Legacy mode. We built it into our export dll.", what do you mean by "will not work in CR2008"?
Thank you

Error "Failed to Export PDF" with big image on CS6 (32) and CC (64)

Hi everyone,
I'm on indesign CS6 (v8.0.2) and when I try to export pdf with a very big image ( *.tiff, 25000*35000 pixels, ) , the action failed with this message :" Failed to export a PDF".
To be sure that there is no any corrupted elements, I made a very simple layout (one page , and just one element for my image,I turnoff prefilgth and all ressource intensive options, and export with no downsampling or resampling) and try to export with different size image:with 20000*30000 -or smaller -image the export works, always failed with image .The export failed to in scripting mode.
If I diveded my image in four , the export works but this solution is not convenient (I actually made tests for a fully automatised process, and we want to be sure that the indesign component is enough "safe")
I try the same action with an evaluation version of indesign CC 64 bits (v9.2) and have the same behavior.
I can imagine that there is a memory issue there, but my config seems to be strong ( windows server 64 with 16GB ram, DD with more than 100GB free). I don't undersant why-in a "full" 64 bit environnement- it is not possible to manipulate and export very large image ?
I'm wonder If the background task is a part of the problem, and if it 's possible to disable it in CS6 or CC as in cs5 ( creates an “DisableAsyncExports.txt” file in Adobe InDesign executable directoty don't seems to disable it in CC or CS6).
Thank you for your help and good ideas..
DC.

this is a .tif (not a "big"tiff) compressed in LZW or ZIP.
I just tried with another format (png), the error is the same...

Failed to export the report in Crystal Reports 2008

I am using Crystal Reports 2008 version 12.1.0.892, when i try to export data to Microsoft Excel(Data Only) it's failing with the error "Failed to export the report.", please help in resolving this issue.

Hi Abhilash,
I tried suppressing the report header and page header it was working fine, but previously i used to export with all the headers. Without page headers the output file is of no use. I was facing the same issue on one of the local desktops too then i uninstalled the software and installed it again then it was working fine but its not the solution.

Lightroom vs jpeg export

Hi,
My images do not look the same as the way they appear in lightroom. Seems like they are loosing contrast/shadows.

Yes I am using sRGB color profile when exporting.
This is my screenshot of the image in Lightroom vs Jpeg Export on the right.

Failed to Export pdf despite having done so very recently?

I'm currently putting together a 60 page book and for weeks previously, I've been able to export it as a high quality pdf for test prints and analysis but for some reason last night, when I put in the final image for the book, it gives me this 'Failed to Export Pdf' message, despite me making a pdf of the final-imageless version a half hour ago. When I removed the final image from the document, it still gives me the same error message. When I tried to hunt down what page is giving it the most problem, it seemed to be a page that was previously just fine according to inDesign? And when I tried to work with an older version of the document to see if I can work from that one, it gives me the same problem. It SHOULD be fine but for some reason it isn't.
I use Windows 7 and I have inDesign CS2.

Asiide from CS2 not being supported on Windows 7, so you're pretty much on your own, see Adobe Community: File Crashing on Output - printing/PDF/other for troubleshooting tips.

"Failed to Export PDF"

Dear Friends,
when trying to export a document in Indesign CS4 as PDF-file, I get an error message:
Adobe InDesign
Failed to Export PDF.
OK
After dismissing this dialog, the export-process quits and no PDF-file is created.
There aren't any further notice-, warning- or error messages.
The document itself should be valid, no links are missing or update-needing and all in used fonts are available on the system Indesign is running.
I had already searched for a solution, or at least a reason for this error message, and found the following pages, dealing with that error message:
"Failed to Export PDF" when you downsample large images while exporting to PDF (InDesign)
I disabled downsampling in PDF-export dialogue as it is mentioned in the help file, but the error message still occures.
InDesign error "failed to export the pdf file"
I ungrouped everything by selecting all objects on each of these two pages and ungrouping as many times as the option was available as it is described on the page, but the error still stays.
Interestingly, removing the second sheet (=page) of this originally two sheet consisting Indesign document leads to a successful PDF-document export.
But I want to export both sheets, not only the first one, into one single PDF-document.
So there must be probably something on sheet number two which prevents a successful PDF-document export resulting in the error message mentioned above.
Because there are no further informations provided except that the export failed, it is not very easy to track down the reason for this problem.
Is there a log file for export or general application issues?
Maybe you have also experienced this error during the past and maybe even know some walkaround or hint which could lead to the reason?
Thank you for your answers in advance!
With best regards
Inno

Thank you for your answers!
Exporting page 2 alone leads to an PDF-export-error.
The error happens when PDF-file finalization is in progress.
I found out that embedded PSD-files caused the problem.
After un-embedding them, the PDF-export worked well, also for both pages.
Now however, there are still some questions open:
Why do embedded PSD-files cause an export-failure during PDF-export?
Why aren't any information given to user about this failure?
With best regards

Failed to export the JPEG file

When I attempt to export a jpeg from InDesign I get the following error message, please help:
"Failed to export the JPEG file: File cannot be written.
Disc may be locked or full."
The disc it is writing to has 90Gb of memory free and I've tried knocking the quality of the export down with no success.
I am running CS6 on a fully updated Macbook Pro.
Thanks.

I'm trying to export to the hard drive on the Mac as usual, and have never had this issue before?

InDesign CS6 "Failed to export the JPEG file. File cannot be written. Disk may be locked or full."

I get this error "Failed to export the JPEG file. File cannot be written. Disk may be locked or full." when sending small (3"x3") and large (40"x60") files to a printer hot folder. Sometime if I close the program and restart it will let me export. What could be causing this to happen?
I am on Windows 7 with 4GB RAM PC.

I guess the printer is grabbing the file before it is entirely written…
Workaround: Do not save to a hot folder. Move the files after exporting to the hot folder.

"Content generation error. Failed to Export the PDF file"

Building a multi-folio in InDesign 6 Folio Builder V30. Received "Content generation error. Failed to Export the PDF file" on several of the spreads. I have tried reducing the original pdf files sizes, but that did not help.
Any suggestions on other possible causes or way to fix.?
thanks

I'm very new to DPS so I hope the following description makes some kind of sense.
My magazine is in the process of doing trial runs for an iPad edition. I'm setting some templates up for us to work off so the process from magazine to iPad will run a lot smoother month to month.
So far I've set up some dummy stock pages in an InDesign CS6 document, currently 15 pages long.
All images are linked and all fonts have paragraph styles applied to them.
I'm at the stage I want to check the document on my iPad to test run font sizes and their legibility.
We have successfully been able to export the document as a jpg file but we really need the PDF format. When attempting this we get the above message.
Sonia.

Export the pdf from indesign some error Pop Up window (Failed to Export the PDF file). How slove the

Export the pdf from indesign some error Pop Up window (Failed to Export the PDF file). How slove the problem
Please some one help on this

You need to try exporting the first half of the book.
If that exports ok then export the other half of the book.
Whatever half it fails on - keep dividing the book in half to find the culprit page or pages.
For example if your book is 128 pages long:
1. Export pages 1 - 63
2. If these Fail to Export then
3. try exporting1-32
4. If these Fail to Export
5. then try exporting1-16
If it doesn't fail (step 2)
Then export pages 64-128
and 64-90 etc.
until you find the pages causing the issues.
