Missing pages in PDF

Hi, I am using Acrobat XI standard, on Windows 7, When I print to Acrobat pages are sometimes missed. It is an intermittent fault.
Anyone got any ideas what is causing this. Your help would be gratefully appreciated.

Hey Mike ,
There are couple of things I would like to know .
* Do you get any error message ?If yes ,please share the screen shot of the same .
* Are you facing this issue with all the PDF' or any specific PDF?
Thanks

Missing pages in PDF export

In Indesign CS4, when I export a 48 page document to PDF the last few pages are always missing. I've trying anything but I can't make it print the whole document.

I don't run Vista, so what I know is based on other posts, but the first thing to check is which folder did you install into? For Vista 64 it's important to install in the default location, which means most things should be in the (x86) Program files folder.
Next, can you EXPORT the file successfully, and are you printing, rather than exporting, for a particular reason?
Is it always the same number of pages missing? Is there anything common about the first page that's missing in the prints? Any .eps images? What about fonts?
What happens if you try exporting the document to .inx or .idml, then open those in ID and print to PDF?

Missing page while converting Postscript files to PDF using Distiller 9.

Hi
Due to some incorrect hexadecimal code in the post script, one of the pages is not getting created in the full pdf. So, we can say that the page is missing in the complete pdf file.
Here is my snapshot of the issue:
1. Offending command issue on a particular post script data is coming up due to some incorrect hexadecimal data.
2. If I run the postscript through Distiller 8, report is getting generated without any missing data.
3. Whereas, if I run it throught Distiller 9.1.3, Distiller is ignoring the page due to following warning.
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
41
( À
4. If I run the same Postscript file in Distiller 9.3 (latest version), issue is going away.
5. But I have another Report pdf with the same issue but this time with a different hexadecimal exception.
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
49
(à øÀ øÀ øÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿÀ þÀ þà þø?þ?ÿÿþ?ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿýþ ÿùþ?ðà øÀ øÀ øÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿÀ þÀ þà þø?þ?ÿÿþ?ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿýþ ÿùþ ü%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
So, either way, even if I upgrade my version of Acrobat from 9.1.3 to 9.3, issue doesnt go away. I think the new Acrobat Distiller is buggy and introducing new problems when compared to Acrobat Distiller 9.
1. Works fine Distiller 8.0
2. More problems with 9.1.3
3. Lesser problems with 9.3 but I cant upgrade to 9.3 unless i see all the missing page problem going away.
Can someone urgently look into this?
Regards
Hari

I am calling Distiller using command line.
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrodist.exe" /f/Q/N C:\Reporter\debug\report.dst
report.dst contains the the names of the post script files.
(I have already contacted Distiller server forum and I was told to post the request in Acrobat forum)

Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

I have a problem with my Pages
My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
fonts are missing...
Is there a workaround.
I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
I need help
thanks a zillion

The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
Good luck,

Missing Logo in PDF export

Hi all,
I have a problem with an InDesign document when writing PDFs of it:
When exporting a PDF with the built-in export option sometimes a logo (eps) is missing in the PDF output - here some more info:
- the document is now CS 4/Mac, but it was edited in CS 4/Win before and originally it was built in CS 3/Mac
- the logo eps is correctly connected - InDesign never showed a missing link, the eps' colors are the colors of the pdf output (CMYK)
- the logo eps is working perfectly in other documents and even on an other page of the same document
- the problematic logo is placed on a master/template page in this document - when creating new pages using this master page they seem to have the same problem
- when exporting the PDF via .ps and Distiller it seems to work without problems
- in some exported pdf the logo is visible in some it's missing
Anybody ideas? Solutions? My feeling is, that the document might be somehow corrupted. Is there a way to check the integrity of InDesign documents or is there a (software) solution to repair such documents?
Many thanks in advance
Daisy

Many thanks, unfortunately none of these ideas helped - i tried:
- export to INX and to IDML and reimport in InDesign 4
- placing the Logo as .ai
- duplicating the master page and using this template
... without having the problem solved.
Then I removed all other elements on this page - and then surprisingly the logo now seems to work. What I removed from the page were some Indesign vector elements (an other Logo which had been placed via pasteboard from Illustrator and which did not seem to have any problems so far). Can this be the reason? Are there known problems with vector elements imported via pasteboard (maybe in combination with exporting the document between Mac and WIN or when upgrading a document from CS 3 to CS 4?)

Convert Web Page to PDF formatting problem - 1st line of each paragraph outdented

Hi Folks,
I get a formatting problem when I convert any web page to PDF using the 'Convert Web Page to PDF' option - the 1st line of each paragraph is outdented.
eg if i convert http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/whats-new-acrobat-xi.html I get this:
I get the same problem using IE 9, Chrome (latest) or Firefox 30.0. I don't get it converting a Word doc to PDF.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on a PC running Windows 7.
Is there a simple setting somewhere I am missing?
Any help much appreciated!

Are you using "Adobe PDF" or "PDF or XPS?" I sounds like "Adobe PDF," but trying to be sure. Have you updated your Acrobat to the latest version? If not, try that.

Script or way to delete or export random pages from pdf...

hello
I have many request to export random pages from pdf doc. etc.. 1-3,51,63,78-92...I think that easy way is to have some script which will open dialog box and ask for which pages I want to export or delete from pdf. Anyone have something for this?
thanks

I find way for this on adobe blog. I am so stupid that I miss this "choose pages" button!!! You can combine more files and in list select pdf, and choose which pages from individual doc you want. Great

Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's

Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's. Where can I downlaod it and why is it suddenly happening?

OS? Version of ID?
This means that either you have an extra Helvetica Medium font installed and it's interfering with ID finding the T1 version, or the T1 version is damaged. I found this really old thread that explains it fairly well: http://www.asadesigner.com/22-indesign/2d812de56777cc90.htm
The good news is that it's probably only affecting the page information marks.

Automator download URL missing pages?

I've just learned automator and created some automator script to download a daily epaper and convert it to pdf. everything works fine except the 'download URL' part, where it misses some pages. The missing pages are always the same on a given day, but varies daily (eg. yesterday its missing page 3, today its missing page 4 on 2 script runs). I've checked the availability of the pages thru web browser and they exists. Anyone with similar experiences or have any solutions on this? Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

i'm using custom variables because the web folder varies with current date. I've checked the 'Get Value of Variable' result and all the URLs are there. I've tried typing the exact address on web browser and the image load up fine, so there should be no problem with the URLs.
I'll try the Get Link URLs from Webpages action and let u know the result. Thanks for ur help.

PC users cannot open my Pages-exported PDF documents

Has anyone encountered this? When I want to give someone a PDF, I need to export it from Pages, choose "Open with Adobe Reader," and then re-save from Reader as a different name. (If I just export from Pages, some PC users cannot open it.) When I look at the file information for these two supposed PDFs, the one that's only exported from Pages says "Portable Document Format (PDF)" and the one opened and resaved with Reader says "Adobe PDF Document." What's going on here? Is there a reason my PC friends can't open a Pages-generated PDF?

Thanks for the suggestions. Funny, when I changed the "Open With" selection inside the "File Info" box to tell it to use Reader, it it still tells me in the "General" information section that it's a "Portable Document Format (PDF)", but it does replace the "Preview" icon in the upper left with the Adobe logo. Only the version that I physically opened with Reader and re-saved lists the "Kind" of document as an "Adobe PDF Document". Wacky.
Regarding the extension, when I exported from Pages, the "Hide Extension" box was unchecked in the "Save" window, yet the file's PDF extension is in fact hidden (and the "File Info" box also says it's hidden). What's up with that? Grr.
Seems like a small bug--now I just have to get some PC-using friends to let me know which ones they can open! Thanks for your (tres rapide) help guys!

Reinstalled Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 won't let me print web pages to PDFs

I'm really ticked at Adobe's "help" in updating the program only to cause a lot of misery. I'd read Acrobat had a security update, and got a constant reminder from Adobe update to install the available update. I've been using Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 with absolutely no problems printing web pages to PDFs. I installed the 8.1.7 update which immediately disabled Acrobat completely. So I wasted a lot of time uninstalling Acrobat and reinstalling sequential versions to get back to 8.1.6. Now I can't print web pages to a PDF.
I had NOT done anything else to installed programs in the meantime, except that probably Norton has automatically updated antivirus files in the background. I don't have any problems using Acrobat to open and print an existing PDF, or to create new PDFs from my scanner. I can do a hardcopy print of a webpage by selecting my Brother printer. From Word 2002 and Excel 2002, I can create a PDF by "printing" to Acrobat as usual. The only problem is creating a PDF by "printing" a webpage by selecting Acrobat as the device from the list of available printers. This problem happens both with Firefox and with Internet Explorer 7.
I have Windows XP Pro SP3. I did the most recent Windows Tuesday security update several days before messing around with Acrobat and did not have any problems printing PDF files from Firefox or IE7. So, it seems like it's clearly an Adobe Acrobat problem. I get the small box saying "Preparing to Print" which goes nowhere and then I have to use the Task Manager to get out of the loop. That closes Firefox, and when I reopen Firefox, the same webpage comes up.

How to make Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP Pages to PDF available for multiple users connected to the same server

We have installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro- English,Francais,Deutsch version 10.1.9 in our test environment and tried testing it for converting SAP pages into PDF with a few pilot users. In doing so we faced a challenge, where only one user at a time can use Adobe Acrobat PRO to convert SAP pages in to PDF.As long as the first user who is connected to Adobe Acrobat Pro via SAP isn’t logged off, other users connected to the same server are not being able to get the “Save As” dialog box to save the PDF in their preferred location.
This is a business requirement and we need an urgent solution for the same. Can anyone help us in telling us if this is possible and if yes the how to go about?

It's not something we deal with here, the LiveCycle products are a different world. Key points: Adobe LiveCycle is a range of products, some desktop, some server. LiveCycle PDF Generator is the one you should look at, it comes in 3 editions. License terms are by negotiation. Key management is via its Java API.

How to turn a doc designed for spread into a page ordered pdf?

I am a relative InDesign newbie, so please excuse my ignorance. I have document of installation instructions that is printed on a single double-sided piece of paper, which is then folded. So in InDesign, there are two layout spreads. The first one includes actual pages 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9. The second one includes 10,11,12,13,14,15,16, and 1.
After updating this I want to create both a spread version of the pdf for a printer, plus a regular page ordered pdf for web viewing. I am not clear on how to do this.
I am using CS5.
Thank you in advance for your help.

There are two "pages". Not sure how they are referred to in InDesign, but when you look at the InDesign doc, you see two separate "pages", each one divided into 8 sections. There is also a third "page" which includes all the specs for the printer (it is in the spread version of the pdf, but is not printed and not included in the web version of the pdf).
