PDF export multipage document CS4 how ?

hello,
does anyone know how to export a multi-page PDF document in Photoshop CS4.
It works fine as one page with the SAVE AS pdf menu, but then it does n t allow me( or i didn t see it ;)) to save from a folder several files, or many already opened files on the desktop.
It used to be under > File
Automate
PDF presentation
i tried with Bridge a solution suggested on some forum, but so far what i succeed to do was saving each page separately...
I have the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, windows xp64 bits
thanks!
yann

This is something I'm still confused about also. In the Bridge - output- I can see it will make a multipage presentation. I see if you choose full size it will make one 'picture' per page. I am archiving old letters and scan each page and would combine in CS2 as described in earlier posts. What I don't see are the choices in saving as in a pdf. in the Output area. Just high or low quality, what about the press quality etc. Am I not seeing it? Or the compression choices etc. that is usually found in a pdf save. That whole popup screen with choices. Or the choice where you could also adjust order in open files. Or do I have to purchase Adobe Acrobat to get those options now? For a multi-page pdf document. I have no other Adobe software, like Illustrator etc. Thanks for your help, I'm upgrading from CS2. Vista 64.

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 export issue - ID CS4 update bug?

When exporting a book I have been using continuously over 1 year - both under CS3 and CS4 - suddenly the left master page items are not visible in the resulting PDF file.
These items are overlapping the spine on facing master pages, but this has never caused a problem before. Now, even after resizing these objects to the actual page size, they do not show in the PDF.
I found one workaround though. When exporting the pages with the document bleed, they are visible in the PDF even if the master page items are overlapping the spine in the bleed area. Afterwards I have to crop the resulting PDF by the bleed.
Is it a bug or is there a fix to this issue?

I've redrawn it all and placed in new images and now its starting to do weird stuff like make the images disappear as well as making part of the transparency 20% (as set by me) but then making another section of it 100%.(See below - top one is correct, bottom is incorrect). I would agree with you that it may just be an issue with the file, except its happening across multiple computers. There's not really any chance its a dud version of CS5 is there? Its all legit so no real reason why it wouldn't be.
Override Master Pages fixes it, but this is pretty disappointing if I need to have to do this every single time as it makes the master pages on half useful.
We do have CS3 actually and I opened it in that, exported it as a .inx but same issue with elements missing - the stroke around the outside disappeared.
Could it be anything to do with bringing across elements from Illustrator? Although the top element is appearing fine, and the bottom transparent element is a copied item so shouldn't be an issue. And the image disappearing - there's no real reason for that.

Pdfs exported from InDesign CS4 & 5 not displaying or wrongly displaying satin effect

When I apply satin effect to a text block, it often doesn't display once the file is exported to pdf (using CS4 and Acrobat 8). Satin effect applied to text or strokes in CS5 don't display fill or stroke color, just the black part of the satin effect. In the first instance I was exporting to PDFx1a for a commercial printer. From CS5 I was doing "high quality print". Anyone else have this problem?

Acrobat 9 pro and problems with pdf made by photoshop cs4

Hello,
I have encountered a problem when viewing pdfs exported from photoshop cs4 using acrobat pro 9. If I open single pdf, it's ok, but whenever I open another pdf, all text is jagged. Then if I close all pdfs and try opening the second one, it's ok again. It looks like acrobat is not able to render texts correctly in newly opened pdf when another pdf is already opened.
This happens only with pdfs exported from photoshop (file->save as->pdf). It does not really matter if the first opened pdf is from photoshop or not, all other opened pdfs from photoshop are crapy.
I tried different settings when saving pdf but the results are always the same - jagged type (it does not even look like aliased, it's completely screwed and unreadable) in second pdf. It is funny because text present as smart object from illustrator renders fine all the time. Therefor I think the problem is between photoshop export and acrobat, vectors are rendered with no problems.
I tried opening on different pc (also with acrobat 9 pro) with the same result. Systems are vista on exporting pc, the second pc is running windows7 beta. However on the third pc with windows XP and adobe reader 9 everything works fine.
Any ideas how to make this work?
regards,
embee

Solution found for me. From Adobe Acrobat & Reader 9.1 Release Notes:
Roaming Profiles on Windows and Networked Home Directory on Macintosh
are not supported configurations for 9.0 or 9.1, however we have made
several fixes in 9.1. We are looking at the possibility of supporting
this for the next major release.
As I am working with roaming profiles, my current solution (which is no solution at all) is to wipe current and reinstall Acrobat/Reader 8. Among other things there are supposed console hacks to make the purchased Adobe software run at all in a group work environment. I will end up trying them later.

Thin grid lines in PDF export

I am using the current version of Numbers (3.2).
The problem I am facing is that it seems to be impossible to export a spreadsheet with invisible grid lines to a PDF. Every time I do so, thin (I guess 1px) grid lines appear in the PDF where the should be none. I attached two images of a simple test sheet: The first picture is Numbers, the second is the resulting PDF export.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks!

1) select the table, then
2) use the cell formatter to set the border type to none
3) apply the border all inside edges

Secure pdf export

Hi,
We are using SAP Business One 2007 B PL08. For security, i have allowed only pdf export of documents. But some users edit them too using Acrobat Professional. Can anyone suggest a way by which i can protect the pdf documents from being edited when exported from SAP. I can't set the security settings manually as users export the document from different machines. I need a way by which whenever the document is exported from SAP, it should be non-editable.
Amol.

hi,
I suggest to restrict permission for accessing folder ,where pdf files are saved as set
in path tab of attachment folder in general settings.
Also restrict authorization to non super user General --> Layout to PDF --> No authorization
If possible remove adobe professional & install adobe reader to reqd. users.

To make PDF file non-editable is not the task you can accomplished inside B1. You have to find something else. However, I don't think there are any technical solution for your problem to replace the solution from other effective control procedure.

How can I get my exported pages document to appear the same in pdf?

When I export my document to pdf, the font color for those that I have reversed (white color) appear black and don't show up because the background is black. I've tried exporting my file 10 times and it appears to be different on many occassions. I can't get the entire document to appear correctly. Help!

Would you mind sending me the Pages document for me to try myself. I don't have MacOs 10.7.5 but I have 10.6.8, 10.8.x and 10.9.1. I can try Pages 08 on all of them. Click on my blue alias and youl'll find the address.

Script that worked in CS does not work in CS4 - multiple open page, print , pdf export and close

I had a script that worked great for me in Indesign CS. But now does not work in CS4. Anyone knows what needs to be done to make it work again ?
When I drop folder with indesign files on top of this script:
1. opens first page
2. turns specific layer on
3. prints using preset
4. exports using preset
5. close without saving
6. next page
Anyone who can give me solution or idea how this should work is greatly appreciated.

(Disclaimer: me not an AS guy!)
First thing I noticed is the interaction level is set off. If you comment out this line
set user interaction level to never interact
you might be able to pinpoint the exact error -- ID will display a standard "failed" dialog, hopefully showing the line that it fails on.
A quick question: the script assumes two presets in your InDesign: one for print ("letter size") and one for PDFs ("pdf preset name"):
set myPreset to "letter size" -- name of print style to use
set myPreset1 to "pdf preset name" -- name of pdf export style to use
Do these actually exist in your CS4, with the same (non)capitalization and spaces?

How do I change position of video floating window in IDCS5 PDF export?

I have created an interactive document in InDesign CS5 (for Mac) that includes some movies. The page size is 1280 x 800 and the H264.mov files are 960 x 540 and 800x600. I place the movie in the center of the page at 100% size (without resizing either the movie object or the frame). The poster is set to None to keep it blank. In the PDF options, the Play Video in Floating Window box is checked, with the size set to 1x and the Position is set to Center by default but it is grayed out, with no option to change it.
When I export the document to PDF (Interactive) with both View and Layout set to Default and Buttons and Media set to Include All, the resulting PDF file opens the movie window in the upper right corner of the PDF document window. It does this whether viewing in Acrobat X Pro (10.1.2) or Acrobat Reader (9.5.0). I've tried opening the file on other computers and have the same issue. I've also created the same document in IDCS5.5 with the same outcome.
I'd like the movie to open in the center of the PDF document window. I've made other documents where it does this, but for the life of me can't figure out what I'm doing differently to cause the floating movie window to open in the upper right corner of the PDF document.
Any insight you could provide would be very helpful.
Thanks,
John

Thanks for your reply, Steve. I, too, believe there is a bug, but it's not in InDesign CS5, as I mentioned in my post, I was able to replicate the problem by opening the file in CS5.5 and exporting it to an interactive PDF. The movie again opens in the upper right corner.
However, if I create a NEW page in the document and place the same movie. it opens in the PDF reader centered in the page. I guess I could recreate the document if this is the only fix, but I thought that I may be doing something wrong, which apparently is not the case.
"Computers often do what you want them to, but they ALWAYS do what you tell them to." —anonymous
"If you have placed the video in InDesign in it's own frame, should you not leave this box unchecked?"
Rik, I didn't actually place the movie into a new frame. What I meant to say was that once the movie was placed into the document, I did not resize it. I found that if I don't have the PDF viewer open the movie in a flaoting window, the movie quality suffers if the PDF viewer opens in a larger size than the original InDesign page size (which can happen depending on how the user's PDF viewer is configured). However, the movie plays and views perfectly if it is in a floating window.

How to create a PDF from sales document

Dear Experts,
I would like to create a PDF file from B1 document with using the core PDF export function (menu 7176), but I cannot define the file name for the exported content by code. Need user interaction. Anyone has idea how do I use the PDF export function and store the name of the exported files?
THank you in advance.
Nghia

Dear Nghia,
Its not possible to change the name of the file in runtime. As a work around you can modify the name of the file after its created, After action u can get the last created PDF file in the Path and rename it.
Hope it helps,

The problem is, I never considered pages 0 through 99. The script works perfect for 138-140 TEST 10_WORKER.indd. It creates PDFs named:

MyTest_140.pdf

MyTest_98.pdf - should be MyTest_098.pdf
MyTest_99.pdf - should be MyTest_099.pdf
MyTest_100.pdf - This is perferct
And of course, the double 0s, 008-010 TEST 10_WORKER.indd
MyTest_8.pdf - should be MyTest_008.pdf
MyTest_9.pdf - should be MyTest_009.pdf
MyTest_10.pdf - should be MyTest_010.pdf
Why doesn't it use the first 0(s) in the name? 0 is a digit and every RegEx tester I've checked it with includes the zero.
Any assistance with getting this script to use the leading zero if there is one would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if there is a way to export each PDF from a multipage document which doesn't start with a number, it would be extremely helpful.
Thanks in advance
Danny

The zeros aren't there because they never were there. Your loop starts at 0 and that could be a page number. To pad your page numbers to three-digit numbers, replace this line:
myFilePath = myFolder + "/" + "MyTest_" + (my_suffix + myCounter) + ".pdf";
with this one:
myFilePath = myFolder + "/" + "MyTest_" + (my_suffix + pad(myCounter)) + ".pdf";
and add the following function somewhere at the end of your script:
function pad (n) {
    return ("00000"+n).slice(-3);
