Page numbering issue on export to PDF

I am using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse to export a report as a PDF. The report contains a grouping which has "reset page number after" set to true. The group name field is not displayed on the report. The problem that I am encountering is that the page number is not being reset. If I export the same report using Crystal Reports 2008, the page numbers are reset correctly. Also, if I display the group name field on the report, the page number also resets correctly when exported through CR for Eclipse. This issue did not occur when using the .jar files from Business Objects 11, it only started when we replaced the .jar files with CR for Eclipse. Is this an issue with CR for Eclipse or is there something I need to change in the report for this new version?

Thank you. We have been able to work around the problem by displaying the group fileld on the report, but setting the font color to white so it cannot be seen by the end user.

Page numbering wrong when exporting to pdf

I have a 340-page book, broken into about 40 chapters. The chapters are set as the start of a section, and there are no section changes inside the chapters. Theoretically, the pages should number consecutively throughout the book -- and they do, in InDesign 5.5. But when I export to pdf, they get all screwed up.
For instance, the page numbers in Chapter 6 start correctly at #27, but the following pages are numbered like this: 28, 29, 28, 29, 28, 29, 30. The last page number should be 35, not 30.
This happens sporadically throughout the book.
I've checked to be sure each chapter has only one section, and that page numbering is set consecutively. In ID, all the page numbers are in order. But once they get exported to pdf, they go crazy.
Thanks............

Peter: My reply above to John kind of overlaps this reply, so it might be well for you to read that, too. You'll find there a whole list of problems I had with CS4; going back is not the answer.
I agree that one problem is that I don't have extensive experience with ID. But I'm living on an extremely limited income, and I hoped the Creative Suite would help alleviate that. I has done that; it has also added a great deal of frustration. I don't have a huge IT budget to draw from. The original outlay for CS4 was an extreme reach for me, and I didn't really have the funds for an upgrade. How I would love to spend a few thousand dollars to fly to Pittsburgh or New York and spend a week or so immersed in an Adobe workshop! Unfortunately, I live on a small town without such resources. I have watched as many videos as I could find, and I have gone through several step-by-step books. But you're right: hands-on experience is necessary, and I'm scrambling to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can.
I would imagine you're right, too, when you say that bugs are inevitable in a complex program. What I have trouble understanding is why they aren't fixed, especially considering the price of the program. The problem with internal hyperlinks not working in epubs has been a known issue for some time, and according to one Adobe expert's post, the developers' attitude has been more or less, "Yep, that's a problem, all right." But it hasn't been fixed.
Not only am I working on a limited budget, but I have made promises to clients I haven't been able to keep. It's frustrating when clients are screaming, "Where's my book?" and I'm fighting with "known ID issues." One novel was supposed to have been published in early October. I was all ready to finalize it when I noticed the page numbering problem. I feel I have spent far too much time chasing ID program bugs -- and I don't get paid for posting requests for help in the forums.
In reference to the internal hyperlink problem, I have attempted to "crack open the epub and do some fixing." If that would work, I would have no problem; I know HTML. But after I "rezipped" the files, I couldn't read the result in any epub reader. I'd like to know how Ms. Castro puts its back together after cracking it open. Perhaps it can be done with a Mac; as far as I know, it can't be done on a PC without oXygen, yet another expensive program I can't afford. (However, after going to her website, I have decided I need to buy her book. Thanks for that tip!)
I do appreciate your help, and I apologize for getting so impatient. I hope you and the other moderators will be patient with me. I'm working hard to learn as fast and as much as I can and sometimes the frustration gets overwhelming.

RoboHELP to PDF Page numbering issue

HI,
I am experiencing a problem related to page numbers in the pdf generated through the RoboHELP source files. Hereby I am giving some images of the initial pages of the PDF, in which I have clearly explained the issue. I have removed the content and images related to our project. Please let me know, how I can overcome this issue.
NOTE: The page numbering issue was not there earlier. I have imported two frame maker files. Then I was not able to generate a PDF. That particular FM file had a table. Read in the Adobe forum that some type of tables may affect the generation of PDF. Hence, I have deleted the FM files. Since then I am facing the page numbering issue.
Here are the images with my explanation of the issue:
The following is an image of the pdf. This is actually the fourth page of the pdf, but it is numbered as xiv.
The next pae is numbered as xv. Again the numbering reverted back to xiv as shown in the following iamge.
Immeditely after the TOC, the 1st page is numbered as 115.
Again every 1st page of a chapter is starting as page number 115
The 2nd page of every chapter is numbered as 126.
The 3rd page of every chapter is numbered as 125.
The fourth page again numbered as 126 followed by 125, which is continuing till end of the chapter.
Please let me know how this issue can be solved.

I am not sure what is causing this but can suggest a workaround. Instead of publishing direct to PDF, create a Word document only. That may have page numbering issues but there you should be able to correct them. Then publish your PDF from Word.

Report Title and Text Area issue when exported to pdf using Viewer

Hi there,
We are using OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
We have reports that displays Report title containing the following
- Report Title
- Runt Date and Time
- Page No
And text area which displays 'Last Page'
Following properties are set at the worksheet level using page setup
Report Title --> 'Print on every Page'
Text Area --> 'Print on last page'
The report when exported to PDF using Discoverer plus works fine and displays report title and text area as defeined.
But when we try to export the same report to pdf from Discoverer viewer, it displays
- Report title on first page only.
- text area on all pages
All our users accesses report using discoverer viewer so we cannot open discoverer plus to them.
Is there a solution which will enable us to export the report in pdf using discoverer viewer and displays the same output as discoverer plus.
Please let me know... If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance for your help...

but when opened on other os x machines some text is colored differently than it should be
Well, if typographic objects are colour managed, the colour appearance is dependent on the source ICC profile that describes the colourants in the typographic objects and the destination ICC profile that describes the colours the display is able to form and the RBC colourant combinations that will form those colours.
In general, typographic objects should have special treatment, since the expectation is not that typographic objects should be colour managed, but that typographic objects should simple be set to the maximum density of dark. On a display, that is R=0 G=0 B=0 and on a seperations device (a lithographic press) that is C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100.
If for some reason typographic objects are colour managed, and if the ICC profiles for the displays are off by half a mile or more in relation to the actual state of the display system, then the colours will not be the same. On the other hand, if those displays are calibrated and characterized, then the colourants will be converted to form the same colours on the displays.

Pages 5.1 not exporting to pdf properly

When I export or print my pages document as a pdf, some text is missing in the resulting pdf.
Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks,
Rapolas

Yes, it does.
I have a few sentences within a single cell, and half of the second sentence is missing.
In Pages 5.1, the document looks like this:
Whereas the exported or printed pdf is:
The only acceptable workaround I could find was to export to pages 09 format, open it with pages 4.3 and export as pdf. That one looks just the way it is supposed to. But it is not a solution.
The worst thing is that you cannot spot the defect at a glance. Neither can I trust the export as pdf function.

Alignement issue when exporting to PDF

Hello,
I'm having some alignment issues when exporting an InDesign file to PDF.
I have a couple of square pictures, touching eachother at the edges. These are aligned bang on in InDesign (the lines overlap), but when exporting to a PDF and viewing in there, it seems that some seem to jump up slightly.
Is this just a display issue or a setting issue when exporting to PDF?
Thanks
Benny

The detail is cropped too tight for me to tell how many photos are intersecting there. Is there a vertical intersection as well? If not, I think you're looking at a very slightly non-rectangular frame, if there is, then you might still be looking at a non-rectangular frame, or the frames are not perfectly aligned, which doesn't surprise me if you snapped to a guide -- I find that less than 100% reliable since CS6.
Presuming that you've zoomed in to show us the problem, that's probably a single pixel misalignment and you'd be very hard pressed to see it in printed output without a loupe.
You can check the bottom edge of the top photo, and the top edge of the bottom photo(s) for being out of horizontal by using the direct select tool to select the corner points and seeing if the y-coordinate is the same on both sides of the frame.
My printer tell me to always overlap frames, rather than butting them, for trapping, for what that's worth, but I don't always do what he says, and I've never had a problem.

Page numbers not showing up in PDF export

I have an InDesign document with page numbers placed on all master pages. The page numbers show up just fine in InDesign, but when I export the document as a PDF the page numbers don't show up at all in the PDF. Any idea why this is happening?

Nevermind. I had the guides turned off and had placed the number text frame outside of the margin. Silly.

When you create a link to a web page in numbers and we export the PDF file, the link is offset by 3 rows. Example: if I put a link on the text in cell A1, I found the link A4. In fact, this feature becomes unusable. How can we solve this problem? Thank yo

When you create a link to a web page in numbers "Mavericks" and we export the PDF file, the link is offset by 3 rows. Example: if I put a link on the text (with Cmd-K) in cell A1, I found the link A4. In fact, this feature becomes unusable. How can we solve this problem?
Thank you.

Hi again Raja!
I did as you recommended and installed HTTPWatch and below is the outcome of that program. It is the exact string with the only exception of obfuscated servernames and portnumbers. The last part that begins with "sap_ep_baseurl=" makes me suspicious, is that part really correct? It looks like it's lacking things.

Numbers 3.5 export to PDF creates single page

When I export a Numbers 3.5 sheet to PDF, the PDF shows up as a long single file. How do I break this up either in Number or in Adobe Acrobat? It seems very odd that there is no evident way to to do this in Numbers so that it will export this way? Is this impossible? A bug? I have searched everywhere for an answer. Thank you!

Try using the menu item "File > Print" then from the Print format screen click the "Print..." button (bottom right) then from the print dialog select from the PDF button select "Save as PDF.."

Hi Pradeep,
I dont think this can be done. There are various issues with exporting web items to PDF, one of them being formating. We had a similar issues and opened an OSS with SAP and they stated this was how it was designed and SAP do not provide a better way of formatting PDFs.
Thanks,
Nick.

Page Number Error when export to PDF

I am getting an error on page numbers for a book file when I export to PDF. The page numbers are set in the master pages and when I export each chapter individually the page number show fine. When I export the entire book, then some of the page numbers repeat. The pages are the right pages, but the numbers change incorrectly. For instance, the sequence goes, 58, 59, 58, 61 and 72, 73, 72, 73, 76.
I've updated to the latest InDesign (7.5.2) and have tried multiple PDF export options (High Print, Press, PDF/X, etc) and nothing fixes it.
Any suggestions?
thanks

This is a known (and fairly catastrophic) problem in CS5.5.
Some people have found exporting the individual INDD files to IDML, resaving them as INDD files (don't overwrite your originals!! Make a backup first!), and recreating the book works...for a while.
You could revert to CS5.0 if you have a license for it.
CS6 is on the horizon and should fix this bug.
Hopefully there'll be a CS5.5 maintenance update to do so as well.
Sorry I don't have a better suggestion.

Numbers won't export to pdf

Whenever I try to export to pdf from Numbers, I get this error message:
This is frustrating because of course the file does not exist. I want numbers to create the file. I like numbers as a program, but I can't just send people numbers files, they can't open them. I need to be able to easily pdf my work.
The method I'm using is File>export to>pdf... Then I once that window is open I select next, choose a name to save the pdf, and then I get the above error message.
I'm using Numbers 3.5.2.
I successfully saved as pdf from the print screen, but I don't want to have to take 3 extras steps just because the export command has a bug.

Suggest in your menu Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback that you report this problem to Apple... after, of course, you have tried closing Numbers, and restarting your Mac to see if the problem still persists. It might be a temporary glitch.

Is there a page size limit when exporting a pdf from InDesign?

My indd file is 201x40 inches with a 1.5 inch slug. When I export to pdf I get this message, "The document page size exceeds the page size range supported in PDF files. Exported pages will be resized to fit within PDF limits."

Although the PDF spec mentions that it's feasible to create a PDF as large as 15,000,000 inches in either direction, 200 x 200 inches is Distiller’s limit for PostScript. It’s based on the Windows printer driver limitation.
If I read the quote below correctly, the maximum page size is 15 million inches (381 km).
"This is from the PDF Reference 1.6:
177. In PDF versions earlier than PDF 1.6, the size of the default user space unit is fixed at 172 inch. In Acrobat viewers earlier than version 4.0, the minimum allowed page size is 72 by 72 units in default user space (1 by 1 inch); the maximum is 3240 by 3240 units (45 by 45 inches). In Acrobat versions 5.0 and later, the minimum allowed page size is 3 by 3 units (approximately 0.04 by 0.04 inch); the maximum is 14,400 by 14,400 units (200 by 200 inches).
Beginning with PDF 1.6, the size of the default user space unit may be set with the UserUnit entry of the page dictionary. Acrobat 7.0 supports a maximum UserUnit value of 75,000, which gives a maximum page dimension of 15,000,000 inches (14,400 * 75,000 * 172). The minimum UserUnit value is 1.0 (the default)."

Font Rendering issues in export to PDF-SSRS

Hi,
Its a very strange issue,I am facing from last two days.
I have created a report having text with Gill Sans MT font.I am able to see the text in the mentioned font properly on report server as well as on my development machine.
Issue occurs when I export the report to PDF, as when i open the report in acrobat reader to view the font of the rendered text,it shows the font as Gill#20Sans#20MT which causes the text rendering up in Arial(default font).
If I Export from Word document the font is set as GillSansMT i.e name without spaces and text is rendered in correct font.I have installed the required font on both the locations i.e. report server as well as Development environment.
Thanks & Regards,
AS

Hi Anand Sardesai,
Since the Gill Sans MT font is not been installed on the production server at first. Please make sure the font is installed correctly and that font embedding is granted font. If the referenced font is not installed on the report server, the resulting PDF
file might not contain the correct mappings and might not display correctly when viewed.
Reference:

Alternatively, I recommend you reboot the server try to resolve the issue. There is a similar issue for your reference:

Why are some of my pages blank when I export to PDF from InDesign?

I have a fairly large InDesign book that I've been trying to export to PDF unsuccessfully. There are lots of images and te
xt in the book and half export fine and the other half don't. When I export the files individually, they export fine. Any advice why the book won't export correctly?

I wouldn't expect either conversion or working froma server to affect the export (though working with your ID files directly on the sever is a bad practice -- big potential for disaster due to a network error causing unrecoverable file damage).
First, do a "Save as" to remnove any unneeded old undo inofrmation from the file and reduce its size, then copy it to your local machine and try to export. If you still have a problem, try emptying your temp folders.
