Pages to PDF Problems

I'm working on a book for CreateSpace and am trying to use Pages this time - just recently discovered Pages and LOVE IT!  However, I'm now trying to export to PDF so I can test out my formatting on CreateSpace and their Internal Reviewer is flagging every single page as having "line art outside the margins"!!  I'm assuming this is something to do with how Pages exports to PDF - it must be filling up the entire page (even outside the page margins) - I have set up page size as 6 x 9...
Here is a snapshot of what it is doing:
How can I export to PDF without it doing this?!  I have tried both the Print (Save as PDF) and Export to PDF (Best quality)...
Thanks so much for any help!

Jacki,
How did it all work out in the end? Did you simply disregard the error message and proceed? In which case, was it okay?
I've reached the exact same point in my journey and I'm not sure how to proceed.

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • Exporting a book as PDF - problem with joint pages

    Hello,
    I'm trying to export a book that has many chapters.  Each chapter is a single file.  Each document starts with an odd page and finishes with an even page.
    What the command is doing is something like this image below.  Where page 4 for example is 4 & 5 joint together.  Is there any way to tell it to print individual pages to PDF?
    Thank you!

    Looks like you're trying to export to interactive PDF. By default that exports spreads and you get what you are seeing.
    You can either change to export to PDF (Print) (and lose button functionality), or you can run a script to change the behavior of interactive export. One place you'll find the script is at Interactive PDF from InDesign CS5 Always Has Spreads On | InDesignSecrets

  • 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.

  • Firefox is stumbling when pages with PDF content come up. how can i get my old version3.5.6 back?

    Question
    firefox is stumbling when pages with PDF content come up. how can i get my old version3.5.6 back?

    Thanks for your response Cor el, I'll try that the next time it happens, it's completely random. One moment it functions normally then suddenly it changes its mind.
    Restarting my pc usually brings it back to normal until next time.
    One thing I've noticed, but not 100% sure there's a connection here.....I edit my websites online and log into cpanel which opens new pages in separate tabs, as it should do. It seems that this problem occurs when I'm logged into cpanel...if i'm logged in then open a new tab for regular browsing of other sites then all links on those sites also open in new tabs.
    Ican't say for sure if it's always only happened when logged into cpanel, but certainly on the last 3 occasions.
    At the moment it's behaving normally so much I can do to check your suggestions, but will try them the next time it occurs.
    One other thing I forgot to mention too....since i've had the new firefox, I've noticed that when I log into yahoo and post comments, I often find myself having to log on for each new post. Everything was fine with old firefox and there have been no other changes to my pc .

  • Suddenly, I can't save Safari web pages as PDFs. ???

    I often download website documents to my Mac Pro by choosing the "Save as PDF" option in the Print dialog box. Suddenly, that option is "grayed-out" and unavailable. There's a Save as Postcript option which ultimately fails, and I can print the document on paper, which is not an acceptable alternative.
    This problem appeared after I downloaded the latest System 10.4.9 update, but I can't say whether that's the cause.
    I can still save Safari pages as PDF files on my G4 Power Book, also running 10.4.9, but not on the Mac Pro. Both computers have Adobe CS2's PDF capabilities in addition to Apple's Preview software.
    Any ideas? (Previous posts on similar problems did not have an answer.)
    2.66 GHz Mac Pro & 1.5Gz PowerBookG4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Airport network, firewire external drives (5x160GB)

    Hello David:
    Hard to tell what happened.
    I would do a couple of things:
    Clear the Safari cache.
    Trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart.
    If that does not help, you could (depending on how important the function is to you) run an archive and install:

  • Print web page to PDF file with live links in PDF file like Apple Safari's pdf prints?

    With Firefox for Macintosh, can I print a web page to PDF in such a manner that when I option the PDF file and click on a link, it is a live link that opens in my system's default web browser?
    With Apple Safari, when I print a web page to a PDF file, the links on that page are "live" and work to open the web browser to their destination. The PDF files I get from Firefox are dead. Clicking on link does not open in browser.
    Is there a way to get FireFox to act more like Safari in this regard?
    Thanks

    Seems the referenced thread is about Lion. I am having this problem in Snow Leopard 10.6.5 with Firefox. Any way to get PDFs with working links in Snow Leopard using FIrefox? I do not really want to have to use Safari for this purpose.
    Going forward when and under what circumstances will future versions of Firefox be able to create PDFs with live links? Are there any circumstances where a current or past version of Firefox can do it under any current or past version of OS X?
    Thanks.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 supposedly allows you to convert selected areas of a web page to PDF from within Int

    Software: Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
    Issue: Using the ‘Adobe PDF toolbar’ from within Internet Explorer
    Problem #1:
    Can’t convert selected areas of a web page to PDF
    When you click ‘select’ on the adobe pdf toolbar, a red dotted line is supposed to appear around parts of the web page as you move the cursor
    In my case, that’s not happening
    Similarly, when you click on a part of the page, the part is supposed to be highlighted in blue
    In my case, that’s not happening
    Problem #2:
    Can’t convert part of a web page to PDF
    You’re supposed to use the cursor to select text and images on a page, then right-click and convert them to a PDF
    In my case, nothing happens when I right-click
    Any advice??

    You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

  • Internet Explorer 9 Convert Web Page to PDF error

    Hi I have a user that is having a problem using the Convert button to convert web pages to PDF's in IE 9. In some instances they get an error that says "Acrobat had an error converting to PDF". Printing to the PDF printer seems to work flawlessly but it isnt optimal when there are hundreds of pages that need to be converted. Anyone else seen an error like this? I have repaired the Acrobat X install (10.1.0) but still get the error. It does not happen to all sites and usually, attempting to convert a second (and even third) time succeeds.

    Looks like this might be an intermittent bug, since Acrobat 10.1 added support for IE 9. Can you report the bug here:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    Also, do you have the same issue in Acrobat directly when choosing File > Create PDF > From Web Page?

  • PDF problem part 2...

    I guess a lot of people are having pdf problems.
    When I export a pdf of a Travel Journal doc and view with adobe reader 7.0, the borders on the photos are not there.
    What is the word on this?
    As you can see I don't have Tiger /PDF-X.
    Thanks

    Not certain if this is quite the same thing, but.......
    I have found problems when exporting to pdf, not when I open in Preview but when the person I am emailing the file to opens it in Acrobat, as all drop shadows are then lost, this makes professional printing difficult.
    Resolved it for the moment by:
    1. exporting to pdf as normal
    2. using Graphic Converter which comes bundled with OSX to create a PSD file and sending that electronically. Slight problem was that the size of the file increased from 3mb to about 27mb, so had to download a free copy of Cyberduck ftp programme too. In fact saving it to jpeg was just about as good.
    3. you do have to do one page at a time but it works.

  • Convert Web Page to PDF

    We have an internal web based system in which we would like to 'print' one of the screens as a report.  However, when we use the Convert Web Page to PDF option, the resulting PDF doesn't look anything close to the web page.  We are wanting to use the Convert Web Page option so the links to the images remain and can be clicked on and viewed from our internal servers.
    Resulting PDF
    Original Web Page we are attempting to convert:
    As you can see, the two do not resemble each other very much.  The image thumbnails on the PDF screen are located at the bottom of the web page we are converting.
    We are receiving the same results on two different computers running two different OS (Windows XP and Windows 7) with two different versions of Acrobat (Acrobat 6 Professional and Acrobat 8 Professional).
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  The Convert Web Page option also doesn't work well on eBay Order screen either.  I stopped using it years ago but a coworker would really like to be able to share our QC Inspection Reports with other people in the company easily.
    Any help and suggestions would be apprecitated.
    Regards,
    Gilley

    Bill,
    Thanks again for the reply.  I am using the Convert Web Page to PDF selection on the Adobe toolbar which is available in IE.  I printed the page from File >> Print and it looks good except no links.  It is also printed in a Portrait style page layout.
    Sample:
    When I used the Convert Web Page to PDF from the Adobe toolbar, it looks like it is attempting to 'print' it in a landscape mode and that may be where the problem is.
    Sample:
    These are the same report.  However, I can't find a preference to tell it to convert in a Portrait mode instead of landscape.  Any clues on how to force it to always convert Portrait?
    Thanks again,
    Gilley

    There were problems with IE9 on it's initial release and that may be what you are seeing if that is the browser (you did not indicate the browser and that may be a key). If you have a different browser you might try that one with the same pages to see if it browser related.
    By saying garbled it sounds like the fonts did not make it or you have selected "Use Local Fonts" in Acrobat. Try checking the latter first. Then check if the fonts are embedded in the PDF by checking the document properties (ctrl-D). If they are not, go back to the browser and select the press or print job options before printing and see if they get embedded and if your problem is resolved.

  • How to save A4 size page as PDF format

    I want A4 size page in pdf format

    I have a similar problem with Firefox on android. When saving a page as PDF, often the PDF page size isn't big enough and just shows part of the full web page. Is there any way to set the PDF page size and make it bigger,say A4 or some other size?
