PDF-Export Dialogbox in InDesign CC

Hallo zusammen,
ich habe ein Frage zur PDF-Export Dialogbox in InDesign CC (zu erreichen über cmd+e). In bisherigen Versionen der Creative Suite war es so, dass der Seitenbereich automatisch markiert war und man sofort den benötigten Seitenbereich eintippen konnte (z. B. 62-63).
Das war sehr komfortabel, wenn man von einem mehrseitigen InDesign Dokument mehrere PDF's mit jeweils 2 Seiten machen musste. Einfach cmd+e und schon konnte ich den gewünschten Seitenbereich eingeben.
In InDesign CC geht das irgendwie nicht mehr. Sehr umständlich. Man muss sich jedesmal mit Tab zum Eingabefeld 'Bereich' durchtippen oder 'Alle Seiten' von Hand markieren und durch den gewünschten Seitenbereich ersetzen.
Das ist unglaublich umständlich, da ich diesen Vorgang bei meiner Arbeit sehr oft wiederholen muss. Gibt es eine Lösung oder ein Skript, mit dem sich der Seitenbereich nach cmd+e automatisch markieren lässt?
Danke im Voraus und viele Grüße,
Dem Shades

Wenn Du sowas oft machen musst, schau Dir das Plugin Output Factory http://zevrix.com/index.php an, die kostet was, aber für 30 Tage ist die Testversion frei. Die mag vielleicht alle Aufgaben, die Dir so im Zusammenhang mti der Ausgabe nerven, automatisieren. Manchmal gibt es die zum halben Preis, oder noch weniger, mal 30 Tage ausprobieren und Preise beobachten.

PDF Export settings in InDesign (color)

Hi,
I was wondering which colour management settings to use when I export an InDesign CS3 document to a pdf (for press output).
This is the situation. I create an InDesign document in cmyk-working space X (in this case Fogra27 (Europe Prepress)). I add a few photos (prepared in Photoshop and in Photoshop converted to cmyk-working space X again). Illustrator files are also natively created in the same cmyk-space X.
When I export this to pdf I use the following color output setting:
color conversion: no color conversion
Profile inclusion policy: Include all profiles.
This way, I think, the pdf embeds all profiles and does no conversion. If I send it to a printing shop that uses colour management itself, things should work out fine. Am I right in thinking this?
Cheers,
johan

In theory all should be well, if you are happy with the consequences
of profile-to-profile conversion on CMYK.

Colors fading on PDF export from Illustrator/Indesign CS2

Hi guys,
I can't figure out why colors are fading when exporting to PDF. I've had this issue for a long time and am finally fed up with it enough to post. I'm in the RGB space in Illustrator (and transparency blend in InDesign). I'm using CS2 and Acrobat Pro 7 on Windows XP.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Please repost in the Illy forum as your pdf generation does not use Acrobat technology, the people that use Illy will have the most experience in helping your fix your problem.

Single letters dropping out in PDFs exported from Indesign CS

We are having font issues in some of our magazine's advertisements which proved very costly last month. First let me describe the work flow.
We designed an ad in Indesign CS then exported it using the press setting in Indesign's PDF export option. Here the ad looked and printed fine. The ad was then placed in another Indesign file which was for the layout of one of our magazines. Here the ad still looked fine on screen and when printed out from Indesign. This next step is where the font issue occurs.
When we export the the final magazine's press ready Indesign file, through the PDF press setting in Indesign again, single letters in these problem ads drop out. For example all of the Ds' in the entire ad will be missing. So a sentence in the ad that read "Dirt is Dark" will read " irt is ark."
I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem occur and if they have a solution. The only thing I can think of is in the compression settings there is an option to compress text and line art. We are going to try to uncheck that box to see if it fixes the problem.
Thank you for you help,
Javin.

I realized, of course, that it does make a difference. If you don't have the fonts on your system, a frequent issue with incoming ads, you couldn't embed the full font at all. You need to be sure that ads generated in CS have fully embedded fonts, not subsets, or risk dropouts. It will only happen when more than one ad uses the same font, but different glyphs.

PDFs exported from InDesign cannot be printed

Our Marketing Manager is using Adobe InDesign and exports her documents to PDF. These PDFs won't print in any of our printers in the office. It spools and then gets stuck and it actually makes our HP Coloured Laser Printer throw an error (error 79) and we'll have to restart the printer due to this error. We can print other documents and other PDFs in the printer so we know it's not a printer driver issue. In fact, we have isolated the problem to only PDFs exported from InDesign. Even if we create a blank document or add just text from InDesign and export it to PDF it still won't print. Really odd.
**I also posted this in the InDesign thread but was asked to post it here too. I tried printing the document using Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader with no luck. We tried printing directly from InDesign but it is inconsistent, sometimes it will print but most of the time it does not.

Hmm. Yeah. The ID forum may be more help. Especially if it's also a problem in ID.
My first suspect would be corrupt fonts or possibly an image file. Can you create a blank ID file with no text (maybe insert just an image or something that isn't on any of the other ID files) pdf it and print it?

Exporting a multipage InDesign document to single page PDFs but with unique filenames using scripts

Hi,
I'm using InDesign 5.5.
My goal is to export a multipage InDesign file into single page PDFs but each single PDF must be uniquely named.
For example;
InDesignFileName_487275123.00.pdf
InDesignFileName_734876882.00.pdf
...and so on.
I've spent a great deal of time searching online and the closest I have found is software called Output Factory which works fine.
The way Output Factory works is by placing a script label within a textframe on the master page in InDesign. Then whatever is typed into the text frame on each the separate pages defines the file name of each separate page.
However if I can solve this problem without any investment costs my boss will be very happy
I found PEU5 which works great for exporting into single pages, it's now a case of naming each single PDF but I know nothing how about to create a script but I get the gist of what they do. My understanding is that a script could solve the second half of my problem.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
S

Thanks Peter but but I don't think this is what I'm looking for.
I did find this post http://forums.adobe.com/thread/841982 but I can't seem to get the script to work.
This is the error message I get when I run the script... any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Indesign CS5 - Problems with PDF-Export

Hello community,
we do have a problem with Indesign CS5 and exporting data into PDF. It is about that logo on that white surface, which doesnt come along with the rest after the pdf-export. What we did was: We created that white surface in Indesign itself, put an effect on it with the Indesign effect gallery and then imported the logo in the surface ... the logo itself is .psd data. So, if we export it into pdf like that, it is just dissapeared. Does anyone have had a similar problem and what can be done about it?
By the way ... if you put, for example, a simple backgroundshadow on a picture ... done also with the Indesign effect gallery, then you get just a white surface instead of the shadow, after the export into pdf. It does maybe correlate with the other problem ... not sure. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much for your help and kind regards ...

I would create the entire logo, including the white background, in Illustrator, save as PDF and place that in ID.

InDesign CS5 PDF export status

It seems that now with CS5 we no longer receive a pdf export status bar. Export is running in background. When exporting large files, the only way I know it's still working or exporting is the error message when I try and close document... Saying task running in BKG.
In Cs3 and 4 there was a status bar that displayed progress. Is this a preference that can be turned on or off?
Annoying when exporting large files with many pages...
Any help?
Thanks

OK, well, here we go. I hope people find it useful -- if so, I'l make an announcement thread so people are more inclined to see it.
You can also download it from here. See How to Install InDesign Scripts for installation instructions. If you save it in the
Startup Scripts folder, it will run automatically when InDesign is started. Running it a second time disables it.

Best way to get SharePoint workflow to trigger InDesign XML refresh and PDF export?

What is the best way to get a SharePoint workflow to trigger the refresh of an XML datasource within an InDesign document, and generate a PDF export? The datasource would be hosted by SharePoint.
Would InDesign Server be required?

My understanding of the license is that Adobe requires you to use InDesign Server for this sort of thing.
But the implementation is probably the same either way. Periodically poll, or find some way to trigger it.

InDesign PDF Export Problem

PDF Export in InDesign CS6 yields thin, light text. I need accurate rendering in pdf for hardcopy publication. Quality is imperative. Can you please help? I use Creative Cloud applications.

If you are using Acrobat or Reader try toggling Enhance Thin Lines and/or Smooth Line Art in the preferences

InDesign PDF Export Color Issues

So I've encountered a frustrating problem that I know others have experienced. It involves the PDF export from InDesign where the PDF color is not matching the document view. It's a critical issue regarding soft proofs for designs where color needs to match the desired result. I never had any issues before but now it's kicked in after upgrading to Mountain Lion and CS6.
Let me preface a few things first...
Yes, I've callibrated my monitor
Yes, Creative Suite color settings are in sync.
Yes, I've tried the changing transparency blend space... makes no difference.
In my case I have an RGB TIFF placed which has dark midnight blue to light blue tones. When I do an export and it doesn't matter what PDF settings I use the color shifts making it more purplish bllue and the lighter blue tones go away.
BUT, when I export a JPEG, the JPEG looks PERFECT, just like it should and matches the document view.
So I figured the problem must've been solved with the new Acrobat XI... I download the trial and installed it. I created a new PDF and it comes up looking like it should. GREAT, except for the price to update to Acrobat Pro XI!
THEN, some message comes up about trusted certificates?! I click ok... and the color on the PDF goes wrong again! What is the problem with this CRAP? HOW DO I FIX THIS GARBAGE? Is it fixable on the old version (Acrobat X)?
I've worked in Adobe products for years but they are going backwards and becoming more problematic by the day. Not to mention it's ridiculous to have to pay $200 to get a new version of Acrobat Pro after recently buying CS6. This is an insult to long time professional customers, you should be providing this update FREE to makeup for your broken, out of sync with Apple CRAP.

Well any local application change to the color settings is going to show up out of sync
All syncing does is match the application's Working CMYK and RGB settings, but the only case where a Working profile color manages a document is when the doc has no profile assignment. So if I sync to North American General my Working CMYK space is US SWOP, but if I open a document with US Sheetfed assigned, US Sheetfed manages the preview not US SWOP.
I'm not saying you aren't experiencing a bug, but you have to be sure of what profile assignments or simulation profiles are driving the preview and syncing doesn't do that. How you export (are you including profiles?, making a conversion?), and what device you are simulating in both programs can make syncing meaningless for existing document's previews.
I can't test X but with XI if you export a PDF/X-4 (where there's no conversion and all profiles are included), the preview with Output Preview closed shows RGB objects unchanged—same as ID with Overprint/Sep Preview Off.
When I open Output Preview the initial Simulation profile is the PDF/X-4 output intent which is the ID doc's assigned profile, in that case RGB objects preview in the output intent's CMYK space—same as ID with Overprint on.

Indesign PDF Export issue - quality

I have InDesign Desktop CS5 and InDesign Server CS5.5
When I export using InDesign Desktop, it exports a 2.16mb file and everything is sharp.
When I export using Indesign Server, it exports a 264kb file and at 125% zoom level, it looks blurry.
The preset we used was High Quality Print.
I cannot get the file over 2mb on InDesign Server (max was 1.2mb with all the settings turned on).
How can this be when it's using the same pdf export preset and same template? I also tried manually creating new preset based on the High Quality Print settings but it's still blurry.
Just for testing, I tried this on the regular InDesign Server CS5, and it exported fine. What settings were changed between CS5 and CS5.5 (everything is set to default settings)?

The directory structure for the template files are the same for Desktop and Server.
When I open up the PDFs generated by both, doing a side by side comparision, the server looks blurry at 125% zoom level while desktop looks sharp.

Issue in PDF export from InDesign CS4

Hi,
We are facing one issue while creating PDF file from the InDesign document. The document has 2-column texts created in InDesign CS4 application.
The issue is, we export the PDF from InDesign document. When we open the PDF in Acrobat and selecting the text (using selection tool), the second column text is selected first and then it selects the first column text. So while copying the content from the PDF, it comes is reverse order (that is Second column text, then first column text).
Could anyone suggest me how to solve this issues. Is this bug in ID CS4?
Thanks,
Gopal

Hi Uwe,
Below is the answer to your question.
Question: Did you set the "TouchUp Reading Order" in the preferences of your Acrobat other than "Left to Right, Top to Bottom"?
Answer: No, we did not change the Touchup Reader order. It is in "Left to Right, Top to Bottom"
Question: What version of Acrobat Pro are you using? Or is it just Adobe Reader?
Answer: We are using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro version. We tested in Adobe reader X (VER 10.1.3). But the same problem exists.
Question: What kind of tool are you using? it the "TouchUp Text Tool"? Or is it the "Select Tool"?
Answer: We used both Select Tool and TouchUp Text Tool. Both selects the text in reverse order. (that is right column to Left column)
Please help me on this issue.
Thanks,
Gopal

PDF exported from InDesign missing background when opened in Illustrator

Hello, I am having a bit of a frustrating problem.
I'm working on graphics for a large project, and I have to get some of my files from InDesign into Illustrator (they are both CS5) for our printer.
I would have normally designed them in Illustrator but ALL my graphics are in InDesign and we just found out once we started on production that he needs AI and needs our trim path set up for our irregular shapes.
For MOST of the documents, its been pretty easy (exporting to PDF > opening in illustrator and making a cut path > saving as AI) however I have this one file that is making me lose my mind.
When I export it as PDF, it opens perfectly and looks normal in acrobat, and I also check it out in preview as well. The background shows up and everything. However when I open the PDF in illustrator it completely loses the background. I noticed it doing this before for a couple graphics, but I assumed that was because they had gradients drop shadows and transparencies and all that. This file has nothing weird except for a gradient grey background.
Help? I'm including some screenshots of whats happening in the hopes that you guys can help solve it.
So here we have me saving it, then opening it in Acrobat to check stuff out.
Now here is what happens when I open it in Illustrator:

Hi, Brie. I have been running into this issue for quite some time now. I also received the same response as you did. "Stop opening exported PDFs in Illustrator." This is an unsatisfactory answer for someone that works in the large format print industry that needs to preflight directly in the Illustrator program. I've done a ton of research and have been racking my brain for the last 2 years and have finally found sufficient workarounds for this issue. The downfall with these workarounds: all spot colors located in the gradients will convert to CMYK mixes. I'm still researching to see if there is a way to keep spot colors intact in these areas.
A little back story: InDesign is converting the gradients into something called NChannel. It enables more accurate handling of color blending by including additional dot gain and color mixing info. Both InDesign and Acrobat have the ability to display these elements whereas Illustrator, from what I’m finding, does not. Which is why we’re seeing gradient elements drop out when opened in Illustrator.
Workaround for CMYK Gradients
Open PDF exported from INDD in Acrobat
Go to Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors
Object Type: Smooth Shade (this tells Acrobat to hone in on Gradients only)
Color Type: DeviceCMYK
Check Embed next to Conversion Profile (should be SWOP)
Expand Document Colors on the right and Select DeviceCMYK in Color Spaces then click ok
Save the PDF
Workaround for 1 Spot Color in Gradients (Converts Spot Color located in Gradient to CMYK – all other Spots stay intact)
Open PDF exported from INDD in Acrobat
Go to Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors
Object Type: Smooth Shade (this tells Acrobat to hone in on Gradients only)
Color Type: Spot Color
Check Embed next to Conversion Profile (should be SWOP)
Expand Document Colors on the right and Select the Spot that is located in the Gradient in Color Spaces then click ok
Save the PDF
Workaround for 2 Spot Colors in Gradients (Converts Spot Colors located in Gradient to CMYK – all other Spots stay intact)
Open PDF exported from INDD in Acrobat
Go to Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors
Object Type: Smooth Shade (this tells Acrobat to hone in on Gradients only)
Color Type: Spot Color
Check Embed next to Conversion Profile (should be SWOP)
Expand Document Colors on the right and Select the DeviceN spot color that is located in the Gradient in Color Spaces then click ok
Save the PDF
Please try this and let me know if you have any questions! I'm always looking for new problems to solve! Good luck!

Exporting PDF's out of InDesign CS5.5?

I have a bunch of users in my newsroom that are having various different issues (yes we have 3rd party extensions and no we can't disable them and put out a paper that way...kind of between a rock and a hard place there!). One of the issues is exporting pages out as PDF's. It's crashing fairly regularly.
It appears to me that there are 3 different ways to put out a PDF for printing (systems admin for a newspaper). Is there a right and a wrong way to get a PDF out of InDesign? Perhaps a less likely to crash option? As of my count there's 3 different ways that a PDF can be created from InDesign:
File - > Adobe PDF Presets
File -> Export
File -> Print
The computers they are running are Windows XP (all updates applied), 4 Gigs of RAM, Dual monitors set vertical (read something that this might be an issue?), Quad Core systems.
Thanks in advance.

Have you taken special steps to disable background (async) PDF exports?
