No Bookmarks Appearing in the Bookmarks Panel When Exporting from InDesign

Hello,
I just recently upgraded to ID Creative Cloud, but have been using InDesign since CS2. I don't know if this a bug or if I don't have something set correctly, but when I export a document to PDF from InDesign and open up the Bookmarks panel in Acrobat XI, there are no bookmarks. Here are the settings I'm using (see below). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Were the bookmarks created in the Bookmarks panel or in the Table of Contents?
Have you tried restoring your InDesign preferences? Here's how:

  • Can you have a PDF fit on the viewer's screen automatically when exporting from InDesign CS4?

    Can you have a PDF fit on the viewer's screen automatically when exporting from InDesign CS4?

    If you were to upgrade to InDesign CS5 or CS5.5 and if you exported as Adobe PDF (Interactive), you could set the View settings for Page Layout and Zoom.
    While, as Jongware points out, its possible for individual users to override that option (Preferences > Page Display > Default Layout and Zoom), the number who will actually do that is actually very tiny.

  • Formatting of text fields when exporting from InDesign to Acrobat Pro

    How does one preserve the formatting  of a text field when exporting from InDesign CS6 to Acrobat Pro? It loses both the font and the alignment formatting in the PDF.

    Use a font that allows embedding/ check the font embedding settings in the PDF output settings.

  • Why Don't All of My Bookmarks Appear in the Bookmark Flyout Menus?

    I cannot get all of my bookmarks in various bookmark folders to display when I use the bookmark flyout menus. For instance, I have a bookmark folder titled "Car Sites" which holds various web sites (maybe 15-20) catering to automobiles. These bookmarks are indeed valid and show up when I click Show All Bookmarks to go to the full bookmark "editing suite" tab.
    However when using Firefox (V30.0) and using the cursor to use the Bookmarks drop-down flyout menus, some of those valid bookmarks do not appear in the folder flyout menus. Its like the flyout menus are being abridged. When I add a new bookmark to that folder, it appears in the Show All Bookmarks editing screen, but still doesnt appear in the bookmarks flyout menu.
    There is plenty of room on my screen to expand the size of the flyout menu and show all of my bookmarks in a folder. Not like I have 500 bookmarks in a folder that span my screen top to bottom and need an arrow for browsing downward.

    You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Why does my new saved swatch not appear in the Swatches panel when I open a new document?? Thanks :)

    I can create a new swatch and save it. It appears in the Swatches panel. But when I close (or save and close) the document, then open a new one/existing old one, my new swatch is no longer in the Swatches panel!?
    I have tried finding the answer on forums/Adobe books etc but to no avail - it is driving me mad!!!
    Thanks

    That's because a new file defaults to the "default template". You can save a file as a custom template, then open your template to use the custom swatches.
    I'm not saying I like this. It's just the way it is.
    Any file can be opened as a "swatch library", as well. If you've created files with custom swatches and want access to them, go to: Swatch panel flyout menu>Open Swatch Library>Other Library, then find the file containing the swatches. It will open as a "Library" and you can click swatches to add them to the current Swatch panel. You can also set the Library to be "Persistant" by going to "Library Panel flyout menu>Persistant". Then that Library will open anytime you open Illustrator.

  • Large PDF file sizes when exporting from InDesign

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone knew why some PDF file sizes are so large when exporting from ID.
    I create black and white user manuals with ID CS3. We post these online, so I try to get the file size down as much as possible.
    There is only one .psd image in each manual. The content does not have any photographs, just Illustrator .eps diagrams and line drawings. I am trying to figure out why some PDF file sizes are so large.
    Also, why the file sizes are so different.
    For example, I have one ID document that is 3MB.
    Exporting it at the smallest file size, the PDF file comes out at 2MB.
    Then I have another ID document that is 10MB.
    Exporting to PDF is 2MB (the same size as the smaller ID document)... this one has many more .eps's in it and a lot more pages.
    Then I have another one that the ID size is 8MB and the PDF is 6MBwhy is this one so much larger than the 10MB ID document?
    Any ideas on why this is happening and/or how I can reduce the file size.
    I've tried adjusting the export compression and other settings but that didn't work.
    I also tried to reduce them after the fact in Acrobat to see what would happen, but it doesn't reduce it all that much.
    Thanks for any help,
    Cathy

    > Though, the sizes of the .eps's are only about 100K to 200K in size and they are linked, not embedded.
    But they're embedded in the PDF.
    > It's just strange though because our marketing department as an 80 page full color catalog that, when exported it is only 5MB. Their ID document uses many very large .tif files. So, I am leaning toward it being an .eps/.ai issue??
    Issue implies there's something wrong, but I think this is just the way
    it's supposed to work.
    Line drawings, while usually fairly compact, cannot be lossy compressed.
    The marketing department, though, may compress their very large TIFF
    files as much as they like (with a corresponding loss of quality). It's
    entirely possible to compress bitmaps to a smaller size than the
    drawings those bitmaps were made from. You could test this yourself.
    Just open a few of your EPS drawings in Photoshop, save as TIFF, place
    in ID, and try various downsampling schemes. If you downsample enough,
    you'll get the size of the PDF below a PDF that uses the same graphics
    as line drawing EPS files. But you may have to downsample them beyond
    recognition...

  • Embedding font problems (when exporting from InDesign to PDF)

    A message alert is shown, when opening a pdf - after exporting from InDesign: Cannont exctract the embedded Font Frutiger.
    We have uninstalled the frutiger font and installed an open type. But the font is not embedded anyhow..?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks very much.
    Jane

    I don't know if you need help scripting this, but...........
    If you can not re-create the PDF from InDesign using the OTF,
    In Acrobat, highlight the text with the acrobat touch-up text tool, right click and go to properties. You should be able to assign the OTF font running on you system, and select the embed option.
    If not, this is why PitStop is an indespensable (sp?) tool.
    Best of luck

  • Preserving Black when Exporting from InDesign to PDF

    Hi All:
    I hope  someone who knows Acrobat can help me with this. I have an InDesign file  that I must export to PDF. That in itself isn't the problem. This is:
    The  text in InDesign is solid black (000000), but once it exports to PDF,  it collects a myriad of colors and will not print preperly to the  newsprint. I'm doing this for a newspaper. I use InDesign, they use  Quark. The client uses InDesign as well. I can NOT figure out how to  convince Acrobat to leave the color alone.
    I've tried to  figure it out with the Ink Manager, etc., but for the life of me, no  matter what I do, It comes out as all the colors of the rainbow. It  LOOKS black in the PDF, but when you select it, it is NOT black. It's a  mess. Two full pages of this stuff and I'll have to redo the whole  darned thing in Quark unless I can figure this out.
    I have tried using "Preserve Black" once it's in PDF format, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Obviously I'm missing something in the Export from InDesign function, but I can't figure out what.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks so much, in advance.

    Okay. Above is the swtch from the original Color Preset. Below is the swtch after I made the changes mentioned above. I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees no difference. ??

  • All of my bookmarks appear in the location bar when all i want is the history

    So lets just jump through everything I have done already. I basically figured out that all of the sites listed in my location bar are my bookmarks. All want is history. Before my Location bar settings were set to history and bookmarks, but then I decided to delete all my history and that just left the bookmarks. So figured out the location bar settings thing and I switched it to History but its still showing my bookmarks in the location bar. Some sites I have bookmarked but haven't visited in awhile. I would also like to note that there is no star next these links in the location bar but when I click on any of the links in it they are bookmarked sites. I am guessing the missing star may have something to do with why its being tagged history. I have no clue but I only want history in my location bar not bookmarks. I tried customizing it and still all my bookmarks are in it.

    Are those sites redirected to another location?
    If the URL stays the same then an URL that is bookmarked should have a star next to it.
    You can also restrict the drop down list to websites that you've typed in the location bar.

  • Neither "Bookmark this page" nor "Edit Bookmarks" appears in the Bookmarks dropdown menu. How do I restore it/them?

    "Bookmark this page" disappeared from the Bookmarks dropdown menu after I added a bookmark. The help pages I have consulted say that "Bookmark this page" is sometimes replaced by "Edit bookmarks" but I have never seen this choice.

    What do you see in the Bookmarks menu?
    Does it make a difference of what is shown (it should) if you open the Bookmarks menu with the mouse or use the Alt+B shortcut?
    You can try to reinstall Firefox in case something has gone wrong with an update.
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

  • TOC in PDF does not include Link OBJR tags when exported from InDesign

    I'm using InDesign CS6 to export a book file to a tagged PDF. When I run the accessibility checker in Acrobat 9, I get errors about items not being contained in the Structure tree. These missing items are links for the TOC and the Index page numbers. When I look at the tags, the Link OBJR tag is missing for these elements. I can't possibly manually add them all in. Other links e.g. cross-references, hyperlinks, automatically include these Link OBJR tags when exported. Why does the TOC and Index not do so?
    I've asked this question in the InDesign Forum and no one seems to know. If I don't put these tags in, what does that mean for accessibility of the document?
    Thanks for your help

    Glad you found something that worked.  For the future ... I found that if you create the PDF from BOOK and following these steps you can get the hyperlinks to automatically tag.  This will work if you are getting editable hyperlink boxes for the TOC -- I find that it is creating these (although I could swear it didn't earlier).  Anyway:
    1. Select all chapters in the book and create PDF with hyperlinks and bookmarks. Save as TEST.PDF
    2. Open the PDF and in the Pages Panel extract the page or pages containing the the TOC from the PDF.  Save this as TOCtest.pdf
    3. Delete the Tags from the TOCtest.pdf file --  in the Tags Panel, select the Root tag, right click and select delete
    4. Select Add Tags to Document to this same file.
    5. Examine the tags to see if all the OBJLINKs are tagged. Repeat steps 3 and 4 again (sometimes it doesn't autotag correctly the first time).  You may have to manually correct some of the structure -- headings and/or artifacts on these pages. 
    6. Save again.
    7. Go back to the main document TEST.PDF -- delete the TOC page or pages from that document (assuming you didn't when you extracted.)
    8. On the pages panel, Insert from file and choose TOCtest.pdf -- insert before the first page. 
    9. This will bring in the newly tagged TOC and it's tags HOWEVER the tags will be out of order in the tags panel. They will be at the bottom and you will need to find them and MOVE them where they should be. 
    Still more effort than you should have to but it worked for me.
    Not sure how to record a bug with Adobe, but my testing in CS5 shows that this is NOT a new problem.  CS5.5 did the same thing for me.

  • Format changing when exporting from InDesign to PDF

    I am using Acrobat 8 version 8.1.2, and InDesign version 5.0.2.
    I am noticing a very specific problem when exporting some files to PDF from InDesign.
    We often have a format where we have a numbered list of right-aligned number, followed by some text, a leader line, and then another number at the end of the line. This is set up with a left indent and a first line left indent (rather than using the numbered list options), and then the necessary tabs later in the lines.
    I am finding since we switched to IDCS3, that when I export to PDF, lines containing this format change in the PDF. The text that appears after the number in the front of the line is pushed over on top of the leader line, leaving a huge white space. On rarer occasions, it will move things in lines that have no indents, but contain tabs that aren't being used.
    I have been able to get the files to export correctly by removing the left indent and first-line left indent and using tabs instead (or by removing unused tabs). But we have hundreds of files set up in this manner so going in and changing how they are all set up is problematic to say the least.
    Is this a known issue? Does anyone know why this might happen and how I can prevent it?

    I haven't tried printing to PDF. I will try that and see what happens. Unfortunetly, where I work we are required to export to PDF rather than print to PDF, so if it works it will only be a clue for me rather than a solution.
    Thanks for the reply. I'll try a cross post to the InDesign forms.

  • Epilogue.ps not running when exporting from InDesign

    Hello All.
    Ive added some postscript in the Epilogue.ps file which changes the initial view of my PDFs as follows:
    [ /PageMode /UseThumbs
    /Page 1
    /View [/Fit ]
    /DOCVIEW pdfmark
    Ive edited the default settings (a job ive called small to make lores multiple page PDF's) and when distilling through distiller this works fine. However when i Export as a PDF from Indesign (CS3) using the same job settings it does not run the Epilogue.ps.
    I dont want to have to save each file as a .ps from InDesign and have to distill them all, it stakes twice as long.
    Apart from printing to the Adobe PDF 8.0 Printer does anyone know why this is happening?
    W
    Also has anyone come up with an automated way on Enabling for comments yet?

    Export as a PDF/X file (PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X4). With a PDF/X file, Acrobat or Reader turns on Overprint Preview even if the Output Preview panel is not open. (When Output Preview panel is open, Overprint Preview is turned on by default.)

  • Missing € character when exporting from Indesign (CS4) to PDF

    I think the subject line says it all. I'm not an expert user, but have not previously had
    this problem. I get a new iMac with CS4 reinstalled
    and now 'lose' the Euro character when I export my Indesign files to
    PDF - does anyone have any advice please? Thanks.

    Even so - I don't know why - but the problem is with some fonts that the Euro doesn't show.
    I always use the Euro font for the Euro symbol and never have an issue.
    Even if you do manage to get the Helvetica Euro to show up in the PDF there is a chance it can drop out at the RIP stage and not appear in print - I've seen it happen far too many times.
    Euro font is your friend.
